In Amity Park, Danny Fenton was busy getting patched up after Dash pummelled the crap out of him. He'd done it for no other reason, then he was bored. Danny wished the school would take bullying more seriously. Last night Jazz was going on about how the school could be in serious trouble if it didn't start taking it seriously. She'd been fighting for months to take it more seriously.
Jazz had gone as far as sending a letter to the school board. She stated precisely how severe the legal consequences were in no uncertain terms. How much the bullied victims could sue them if they didn't shape up immediately is why Dash had beaten up Danny.
Because now the threat of lawyers was involved? He and the rest of the popular crowd would shortly face the harsh reality that their affluent enabling parents couldn't protect them, and in the real world, there are consequences for your actions. Which meant these entitled, narcissistic assholes would ultimately be held accountable.
Danny wished they hurry up and do it faster. He'd enough of being Dash's punching bag. He'd loved to see him either expelled or forced to do community services. Anything would be nice since he couldn't utilize his ghost powers to get vengeance. "Ow!" as his sister tried to bring down his black eye. "I'm sorry, Danny! But that swine did a number on you," she apologized.
"It's alright, Jazz. Now please tell me you took enough photographs?" The redhead confirmed she did. "I sincerely hope that none of your adversaries attack anytime soon. You can't fight in your condition."
Dash had beaten Danny so severely that his body was littered with enormous bruises and multiple cuts, and he'd practically broken Danny's left arm! That's why Jazz and his friends had documented it. Their parents were currently filing a police report regarding the incident. So again, Danny hoped this would ultimately result in Dash being penalized.
"Well, now that you've gone and said it? You might as well have jinxed us! Because something bad always happens when you wish it wouldn't! That's Murphy's Law for you!"
"You know your brother got a point, girly," a voice neither heard before called from above them. They did a double take to make sure they saw things right.
Sitting on a broomstick was someone who looked identical to Sarah Ravencroft from "Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost!" However, she looked a tad more youthful with different coloring. Plus, her expression wasn't so bloodthirsty. But other then that? She looked and sounded like the cartoon spook.
"How do you do?" she questioned rather politely. She pulled a gigantic twig out of her midnight hair, "Could you lovely people tell me where I am? I don't want to be late for my coven meeting. I can't be late again, or they'll kick me out!
And I've already been kicked out of twelve! I'm sure you're both conscious of the seriousness if I get kicked out of the thirteenth one! So could you be a deary and tell me where I am?"
"Uh, Amity Park? Where is your coven?" Danny replied. Both he and Jazz were still in shock.
"How did I end up in Inferno's territory?" the Witch Ghost expressed in surprise. "That halfa is pretty irksome! I mean, so what if he's a pacifist? He is still an overgrown child! Why Spirit even tolerates him, I don't know!"
Jazz had no clue what this witch was talking about. However, Danny's mind knew he'd heard of those names before. However, given his concussion? He couldn't focus on it right now.
"Um, may I ask what your name is?" Danny asked to which the witch replied, "It's Twiggy. Well, that's technically my nickname. My actual name is Prunella," she shuttered.
"I still can't believe my fool of a mother tacked that name on me! I've been the laughing stock of every coven because of my name! But, at least, that halfa Spirit has the decency to call me by my preferred name."
Danny was still in no condition to fight and was actively trying to avoid going ghost. Therefore, he asked another question. "So, is there any way we can help? And preferable not fight? Again, I'm battling a concussion, and my arm is virtually broken."
That's when Twiggy's green eyes blazed brilliantly. "Oh, I was wondering why your vitality felt similar to hers! You two must be related! I didn't know the Ghost Girl had a Ghost Boy for a little brother! Stranger things have happened in the Infinite Realms! Particular with all the buzzing that something is causing the Ancients to be in an uproar!"
Again, Jazz was oblivious, and Danny's mind wasn't working correctly. But he still had enough sense to ask, "Um, so is there a way you'll leave? And we won't have to fight this out?"
"You're fortunate, Ghost Boy. We've got a no fighting rule on coven nights. Nasty things transpire when witches fight on those nights. So no, I'm not here to fight you. If you could get me back to Peace Valley, I'll hopefully make it back in time.
The Head Witch Arabell gets cranky when people are late. So can you help me get back to my hometown? If you do, I'll give you this healing potion," pulling out a glass vile.
They're memorized by the luminous aquamarine substance inside. Danny decided he would instead bypass fighting and get healed. He was in too much agony to deal with anything. And an instant cure was all he cared about. "Well, we can see if you can get back via our family ghost portal. That's the best I can offer."
"I'll take it! Anything to get out of Inferno's domain! I don't want to listen to his blathering! Ugh, it gives me a serious migraine!"
So they went inside the house and unlocked the Ghost Portal. "Now, are you confident you can return to where you belong? I know the Ghost Zone goes on eternally," Danny asked, still wincing in pain.
"I'm sure once I'm in the Zone again, my wand will point me in the correct direction. So here is your healing elixir! Also, thanks for not making any witch-related wisecracks. Man, I despise them!"
With that, Twiggy zoomed through the portal, cackling cheerfully. Danny then gulped down the healing potion. It tasted like cherries and cinnamon. In less then five seconds, he was thoroughly cured.
"Well, this will be difficult to explain to Mom and Dad. So what are you going to tell them, Danny?"
Looking completely serious, he said, "I'll tell them the truth that I got a healing potion from a witch ghost who doesn't belong in this reality. I also think I need to meet with Vlad and discover why someone from another universe crossed into ours.
But first? If I don't get at least three hours of sleep? I'm not going to be doing anything! So wake me in three hours, Jazz," as he shot through the ceiling to hit the sack.
Jazz was still bewildered by everything that had just happened. But for now, she'd let it go. Whenever ghosts were involved? Sometimes you have to accept what is and leave it at that.
