{"IN SENSATIONAL DREAM-O-DRAMA!"}
*It was a bright sunny day in all of Amity Park and seated on the front steps of Casper High School, Tucker was holding his PDA, writing something in it when something occurred to his mind; and that would be his three best friends; more specifically, his best friend who is somewhat always there for him since they were little.*
Tucker: *Voiceover* 'Some people have a lot, and some People don't. But everybody's got something. Me, I've got charmed, *Smugly raises an eyebrow and smiles* good looks, and modesty. My best friend, Danny?'
*As he wrote this down in his PDA, it now shows the two boys strolling down a swap meet event where they grabbed the same pack of four skateboard wheels from a box off a table.*
'He has something else.'
*When holding the pack of the wheels, they glance at each other, practically getting the exact idea.*
Danny: Two for me, two for you?
Tucker: *Smiles* Sounds fair.
*Once this is settled, they reach into their pockets and pull out some cash, handing it to the table's owner.*
'Me and Danny have known each other since, like, forever. And we share everything…'
*Next, Danny and Tucker walk up to Madam Babazita's Mystical Oddities booth, and the dark-skinned boy picks up a genie bottle to examine its beautiful design.*
Tucker: A genie in a bottle? I don't think so. *Puts the bottle down* Thanks, anyway.
*While the boys resume their walking, moving past them is a young mom and her toddler daughter, who has a balloon tied around her wrist, walking past them in the opposite direction. The daughter then spots a lady at a snack stand giving someone cotton candy.*
Little Toddler Girl: *Begging and pointing* Please, Mommy! Please, Mommy, can I have some cotton candy, please, please, please, please?
Young Mom: *Narrows her eyebrows sternly* I think you've had enough sugar today.
Little Toddler Girl: *Reaching out for cotton candy as her mother continues pulling her along as she walks* I want it! I want it! I want it!
*Soon, the daughter's balloon string catches on the genie bottle Tucker was looking at before as they walk past, which knocks the item to the ground, and breaks, causing a green mist to rise up, which suddenly forms a genie-like ghost. This newly summoned ghost is a tall, slim, green-skinned woman with red eyes, really extremely beautiful long black hair that covers half her hair, and a blue ghostly tail. She wears purple lipstick, a blue headband, a blue crop top with blue bangles, and a purple necklace.
She has two metallic purple cuffs on each arm, one on her bicep and one on her wrist, and she has two blue bangle bracelets on her right wrist and one on her left. The genie's outfit consists of Arabian attire, which includes a blue strapless crop top with purple trim, along with a metallic purple belt with a blue jewel in the center, which hangs over her tail.*
(?): And your heart's desire is my command...
The woman then smoothly transforms into a green mist again and flies off, whereas meanwhile, Danny's ghost sense goes off as he and Tucker are walking around the area. He stops his trail and turns to spot his new ghost enemy materializing near the snack stand. She causes the cotton candy machine to overload, which suddenly spews cotton candy into the sky and all over the swap meet and its attendees. Soon, the moment the little girl who wanted the cotton candy sees this, she instantly cheers up.*
Little Toddler Girl: *Screaming* COTTON CA-
*And before she could finish her great cheer of joy for the sugar coming her way, the child is cut off by the cotton candy drowning everyone (including her and her mother) within the fluffy sweet, leaving an uncontrolled flood everywhere. Although, as all this is going down, a man who appears to be a dentist (due to his "Dental Work" booth) sees the sugary mess and smiles at the unknowingly amount of cavities he'll most likely have to get rid of some teeth or fill them in.*
'We share everything, except one thing…'
Danny: *Looks around to make sure no one's watching* I'm going ghost!
*Once he goes ghost, the halfa boy flies into the air just as Tucker is suddenly drowned in the cotton candy.*
'Danny's got ghost powers.'
(?): I am Desiree. What is your wish?
Danny: None of your business, Candy Pants.
Desiree: Surely, there must be something... *Reaches for Danny's chest*
Danny: *Backs away* Hey, get away!
*Suddenly, a ghost ray begins to ball up in his hand, glowing bright green, and using this as an opportunity, he shoots it at Desiree, sending her into the distance.*
Danny: *Looking at his green glowing hand* What the heck? What's going on? Is this… a new ghost power?
Tucker: *Watching from the ground* That was slamming! Whatever that was. You've got another power?
Danny: *Lands next to him and looks at his hand* I guess... *Smiles* Oh, man, wait till I show Care. She's gonna be so jealous!
Tucker: She'll probably figure it out the same day you will, dude. But man, that's the cool thing about your powers, man. There's no downside! *Raises one of his hands* Gimme five!
*However, when Danny goes to high-five Tucker, he accidentally ends up shooting another ghost ray from his hand, knocking the Foley boy backward into a pile of cotton candy.*
Tucker: *As more cotton candy falls on top of him, he muffles* I'm okay!
*A few days ago, Tucker and Danny had met up with Sam and Carrie as the four friends were at Casper High School for the big football game tonight, so they were there, supporting their beloved home team, even if some certain, snobby, obnoxious jocks happen to be a part of that same team.*
'So, anyway, I guess the craziness really started at the game Saturday night.'
*But unfortunately for the two girls, they were seated with Tucker on the bleachers where - one was currently suffering a terrible fever as she had a blanket wrapped around her while the other, came wearing a mask, which she undoubtedly hoped could protect her from gaining that sickness by the gothic figure herself.*
Sam: *Sneezes twice* I'm sick as a dog and I hate sports… Why am I here?
Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow* Maybe you hate them, but personally, I love them, especially this one! *Sighs dreamily* Don't you just love watching Dash being tackled by the other school team members?
Tucker: *Chuckles* Who doesn't? And come on, Sam, we're here because Danny's here and he's got the best seat in the house!
*When speaking of the Fenton boy, on the football field, Casper High's school mascot - a Raven - runs in the middle of the field while jumping up and down.*
Announcer: And now, everybody, here they are, your very own Casper High Ravens!
*Once this is announced, the football team runs onto the field, suddenly trampling the mascot and causing the costume's beak to fall off to reveal a roughed-up Danny Fenton inside it himself.*
Danny: *Sarcastically* Fill in for the mascot… It'll be fun… You'll meet cheerleaders…
Carrie: *Snickers* And that's also another reason why I attend them! Man, how do the people as mascots even survive?!
*Just then, another football player steps on his head, and soon, the referee blows his whistle to start the game, and this allows the opposing team to kick off where Dashiel Baxter manages to catch the ball but is immediately tackled by the entire other team. Soon, after the first round was over, Dash received the ball once more from his teammate, ready to throw it.*
Dash: Hike!
*As he rears up to pass the ball, the blonde-haired jock is tackled again, and this causes Carrie to let out a loud, pleasing laugh. Moments later, the ball flew through the air and before one of the other school's members nearly catches the ball, Dash intercepts the pass and starts running in the opposite direction, but is tackled yet again.*
Carrie: *Giggles* Man, I should've brought a camera with me, this is just too good!
Tucker: *Raises his arms in disbelief* This is pathetic. Our team's fading fast.
Carrie: Nope. That's only Baxter's terrible dodging method.
Sam: *Sneezes* Speaking of fading fast, I'm outta here. Later.
Carrie: I'll fly you home. *Points to Tucker* You better get the rest of the game on your PDA, dude.
Tucker: *Shrugs his shoulders* We'll see, Care.
*After both girls say their goodbyes, Dash and his teammates find themselves huddled up for a quick, little meeting.*
Dash: Man, I wish I could turn into the kind of monster who could crush these guys single-handed.
*Suddenly, hearing the voice of a wish, Desiree materializes out of a green mist above the field. She then casts her hand out, sending a green mist over Dash, who has turned away from the huddle where soon, the mist causes him to mutate into a giant green monster and rips his uniform in the process, which makes Danny turn and notice this happening.*
Danny: Huh?
*Just then, mutant Dash turns and roars at a teammate, who screams and runs away. This causes Danny's ghost sense to go off and he sees Desiree, who flies away.*
Danny: Oh, no...
*Mutant-Dash passes the ball down the field so fast, it catches fire from friction. He growls, then runs to catch up and catch it himself. And watching this from above, the two announcers in the announcers' booth couldn't believe their eyes.*
Announcer #1: Wow! It looks like those high-protein breakfasts are really paying off!
*When Danny runs over to Tucker on the bleachers, he finds Carrie undoubtedly gone.*
Tucker: Do you believe this, Danny? Dash is a beast!
*Down in the field, the two boys watch as Dash slams the football into the end zone, cracking the ground.*
Danny: And getting beastier.
*Dash then turns and roars while flexing his incredibly large green muscles.*
Announcer #2: Holy Mark McGwire, look at those arms!
Danny: He's running on ghost power. *Looks around* Where's Care? I could really use her help right about now.
Tucker: She took Sam home, and man, if she were here, the girl would've had a blast with how the tables have turned for the other school team, because Dash is destroying them!
Danny: Okay. Then, I'll need your help.
Tucker: *Happily stands up* To kick some ghost booty?
Danny: Sort of… *Eyes glow green*
Tucker: I'm in.
*Soon, Mutant-Dash lines up with the other players for the snap - an agonizing mutant snap.*
Mutant-Dash: *Growls* Fifteen! *Growls* Twenty-five! *Growls* Three two!
*While he gestures pass routes and blocks the other players to his mutant team, Danny floats up invisibly over Mutant-Dash.*
Danny: Whoa! *Holds his nose* Ghost energy's pretty strong. But hopefully, ripe for the picking…
*He gets closer and phases his hand into the back of the mutant version of the Baxter's head.*
Dash: Huh?
*And soon, Danny pulls a green indistinct ghost, with a head shaped like Dash's, out of the jock's body and flies off with it. Now, Dash's body shrinks back to normal size and color, leaving him dazed in the middle of the field.*
Dash: Uh… hike?
*Once this is called, his teammate snaps him the ball and runs off just to have the opposing team tackle him yet again, whereas Danny, still invisible, flies behind the bleachers.*
Danny: *Opens the Fenton Thermos and allows it to suck the ghost in* Back to the Ghost Zone for you, pal.
'Danny had no problem getting that ghost out of Dash…'
*From a distance, Tucker watches Danny cap off the thermos.*
'But, we lost the game.'
*He flies off.*
'Which was bad news for the guy filling in for Danny, who was filling in for the guy who usually wears the mascot suit - me…'
*Now, having to wear the raven mascot suit, Tucker is found hanging upside-down from the goalpost.*
Tucker: Man, every time Danny goes ghost, I get the short end of the stick.
*Just then, a group of jocks with baseball bats walks up to him.*
Jock #1: Hey, guys. A raven piñata.
Jock #2: Haha! Let's hit him until the candy comes out.
*Tucker grimaces, practically bracing for a beat down of a lifetime all while wondering why he agreed to do this in the first place for the boy who owns ghost abilities and was able to do just fine on his own.*
*Now, flying back to his home, Danny phases into the third floor of Fenton Works, peeking to make sure nobody is around the laboratory. He sees that it's all clear, then lands in front of the Fenton Portal. The halfa looks around and sees a new invention made by his father known to be the Fenton Ghost Catcher (which resembles a dream catcher), and then inserts the thermos into a panel connected to the portal.*
Danny: End of the line, gruesome.
*The contents of the thermos empty out, and soon, the Dash ghost gets sucked into the portal, wailing endlessly before dissipating within it. Danny smiles at the portal and starts to fly off, but accidentally flies through the Ghost Catcher, which separates his ghost and human halves. As the human half falls to the ground, both halves stare at each other for a brief moment, then the ghost half flies back into the human half's body to reunite just for a sneeze to be heard from his father - Jack Fenton from inside a tent he and Maddie have set up in the lab.*
Jack: Who's that? Somebody out there?
*However both ghost hunters look out from the entryway of their tent, which reveals that they are both sick, and glance toward their son.*
Danny: Am I interrupting something, that I hope I'm not?
Maddie: *Sniffs* Your father and I are purifying ourselves of negative ghost energy.
Jack: *Sneezes* We're trying to richly expel any viral ghosts in our systems with the Fenton Ghost Catcher.
*After mentioning the Ghost Catcher, Danny looks at the invention.*
Jack: It's like an Indian dream catcher, except it expunges ghosts and not dreams, you see.
Danny: You might just have a cold, you know. It doesn't have to be a ghost cold.
*The moment he explains this to his parents, both Jack and Maddie share a look, then glare at Danny as they begin to walk out of the lab.*
Jack: I remember when I was that naive…
*Once the married couple leaves, Danny smiles, then turns and walks back up to the Ghost Catcher. He sticks a hand through it, and the ghost half of his hand separates and floats up in the air.*
Danny: *Pulls his hand out quickly and holds it* Whoa! This one actually works - a little too well. I'm filing this under "Must Avoid."
'Even during trying times, one has to remember a fallen comrade.'
*The next day, Danny, Tucker, and Carrie are currently at the mall - in the movie theater - while they're on the phone with Sam, who is still unfortunately (and terribly) sick she has a large ice pack lying on her head and is curled up in a bunch of blankets.*
'Poor Sam was so sick, and all cooped up in her house. That's the worst.'
Sam: *Sneezes so hard ice pack gets knocked off her head* Ugh! I feel like I'm going to die. I hate being sick!
*As she sneezes again, Carrie flinches her hand away from her ear, listening to the loud gruesome sounds of the gothic figure's sickly voice.*
Carrie: Oh, man, you sound awful.
Sam: *Sniffs* Geez, thanks for pointing out the obvious, Care…
*Holding her phone out on the speaker, Danny moves closer to talk with their terribly ill friend.*
Danny: Hang in there, Sam. Tucker, Carrie, and I are gonna come visit you when we're done at the mall. You want us to bring you anything?
Sam: *Sneezes* No, no, please… Don't bother. My folks are taking pretty good care of me…
Carrie: Well, doesn't matter, because I'll be over there with a huge tub of vanilla ice cream.
Sam: *Sneezes again* Thanks, Care…
*Once they exchange goodbyes and hang up, in the Manson household, surrounding Sam's room, her grandmother, Ida, (who is holding soup), a doctor, and 3 nurses are all standing at her bedside.*
Sam: Guys, it's just a cold!
*Not taking any precautions, a male nurse holding a defibrillator suddenly comes in, which causes Sam to become shocked.*
Male Nurse: CLEAR!
*Walking around the lobby of the movie theater, Danny, Carrie, and Tucker were about to see a new movie that's been added to its film series known to be Dead Teacher IV.*
Danny: She's gotta be sick if she's missing Dead Teacher IV.
Carrie: I know! It's so unlike her!
*Without even knowing it, the raven-haired boy simply phases through a trash can.*
Tucker: Yeah, and this time, it's personal.
*As the trio continues walking, behind them, two girls are admiring a Sayonara Pussycat movie standee.*
Girl #1: Oh, my gosh! I can't wait for the Sayonara Pussycat movie. I want to see it so bad!
Girl #2: Oh my gosh, I know. Isn't she so cute?
*And speaking of so cute, when the two girls walk away, Paulina Sanchez walks up to admire the standee next.*
Paulina: Sayonara Pussycat is so cute! Why can't I be that popular?
*Suddenly, Desiree phases through a wall and casts a green mist over Paulina, who starts to glow green. As a group of movie patrons stood at the snack counter, the voice of the Latina girl was somehow heard very loudly.*
Paulina: Hey, everybody!
*When everyone turns around, they become shocked by what they're met with.*
Paulina: What do you think of me?
*They all gasp to find Paulina Sanchez is now floating in the air as a small, miniature anime version of herself; and this made the crowd become soft and adored by this brightening sight.*
Crowd: WE LOVE YOU! WE LOVE YOU! WE LOVE YOU, PAULINA!
Paulina: *Starts to run on the ground* Look at me! I'm so cute and cuddly and ever-so-wonderful! Don't you think?
Crowd: *Running after her* WE AGREE! WE LOVE YOU, PAULINA!
*Hearing the creepy cheers of the crowd expressing themselves towards the small anime Paulina Sanchez, Danny, Tucker, and Carrie, who were standing at a Crash Nebula arcade game, look to find Paulina.*
Danny: Paulina?
*Soon, the PA speaker beeps and the announcer's voice is heard all around the lobby.*
Announcer: Attention, moviegoers. Googolplex Cinemas has officially declared it "Happy Fabulous Paulina Day."*
*And this wasn't looking too good in Carrie Mayth's eyes as the female halfa began to slightly hyperventilate while tugging anxiously on her braided pigtails.*
Carrie: Oh, my Gosh… this is my worst nightmare…
Danny: Which is…?
Carrie: *Grabs the collar of Danny's shirt and gets closer to his face* Paulina is taking over the world with her prissiness personality! It's horrible - HORRIBLE!
Danny: Part of me wants to know what you dream about, but the other part doesn't…
Paulina: *Stops and turns around to the crowd* I don't know what to say. Why squander my popularity here? I'm so adorable, I bet I could become Super Fairy Queen *Starts to grow in size* of All Teenagerdom! Isn't that luscious?
Crowd: *Cheering* YAY!!
Carrie: *Agonizing scream* AHHHH!
*After releasing that, the blue-haired teen pulls both legs to her chest and begins to knock herself, muttering, 'Happy places' over and over as both boys beside her glance at one another until Danny figures he has to deal with this on his own.*
Danny: Okay, since Care is currently going through a midlife crisis, Tucker, I-
Tucker: *Hands Danny a Fenton Thermos* Do what you gotta do. *Kneels beside Carrie* We'll get seats.
Carrie: *Quickly stands up and waves both hands around* No! No! *Exhales breath* I'm fine… Sorry for that dramatic moment, but I'm okay. Now, let's do this!
*Once Tucker walks into the movie theater, where previews are currently playing, Danny and Carrie go ghost and fly toward Paulina, and together, they lift the large anime version of the Latina and fly her away from the crowd. Meanwhile, Tucker was seated in an empty theater, apparently watching the wrong movie, and it was called: Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!*
Tucker: Man, I cover for Danny, and now Carrie, but my movie gets sold out, and I gotta watch this now. I'm tired of being left out all the time… Man, I wish I had ghost powers, too.
*And when he speaks of this wish, Desiree phases through the back wall of the theater and floats behind the dark-skinned boy: he notices her and gasps.*
Desiree: *Waving her hand around* Your heart's desire is my command…
*A green mist surrounds Tucker, and Desiree phases out of the theater. When the mist disappears and Tucker looks around and he suddenly glows green, then turns invisible before phasing down through his seat while screaming. Soon, his head phases back up out of his seat and he takes happy stock of what has happened.*
Tucker: *Smiles* Sweet!
*Now, back with the battle the hybrid ghosts are currently having between the large anime version of Paulina Sanchez, the three find themselves phasing into a storage room where Danny and Carrie set her down.*
Paulina: Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm adorable and swell and full of big-headed anime goodness.
*During her introduction, Carrie yanks on her braids once more and starts to hyperventilate a little.*
Danny: *Sticks hand out, charging up ectoblast* Bye-bye, kitty.
*He then shoots the ectoblast at Paulina's head, expelling a small, anime ghost cat that appears behind her, and it appears to be the same cartoon animal known as the Sayonara Pussycat every teenage girl fantasizes about.*
Sayonara Pussycat: Hi! Isn't everything in the world sweet and *Spins around* wonderful and-
Carrie: *Grabs the Fenton Thermos from Danny* Not today, you furball of terrifying cuteness!
*She meows as Carrie then sucks her into the thermos. Once the ghost cat is in, she caps it off, and Paulina returns back to normal, holding her head in a daze.*
Danny: Cool. It worked! I can't wait to tell Tucker.
Carrie: *Grabs his arm* Wait! Wait! Wait! When can you suddenly do that?!
Danny: I don't know, I just figured it out earlier! It's awesome! *Grabs her wrist* C'mon, wouldn't want to miss Dead Teacher's IV, now, would we!?
*Without getting the chance to even discuss this, Danny flies both him and Carrie up, phasing through the ceiling, leaving Paulina to finally stand up, and look around to figure out where she is.*
Paulina: Wh-where am I? And why do I feel that I'm special and adorable? *Pauses* …Because I am!
*Now, when the two halfas made it up into the lobby, they turned back into humans while hiding near a theater's exit doors. Once that's done, the duo then scans the crowd in the theater, looking for Tucker, who is nowhere to be found.*
Danny: Huh, no Tuck. Eh, he must've taken off.
Carrie: Or maybe he went to the bathroom, you know how he gets whenever we go out and watch a scary movie. *Shudders* The dude's bladder is on a whole other level…
*As they walk away just as Dead Teacher IV starts playing on the movie screen. Whereas, not even noticing, Tucker floats above the crowd, smiling down at them.*
'Oh, sure, that's what they probably thought.'
*Tucker turns invisible; floats down and eats a lady's popcorn.*
'But why would they even suspect…'
*Using his powers as an advantage, Tucker from a girl's soda, puts a man's toupee on a boy and puts a boy's arm around a girl. He then floats back up and looks back at his work.*
'…that I was having the time of my fourteen-year-old life?'
*The sound of the girl punching the boy whose arm was around her is heard, which causes Tucker to laugh and fly off, and out of the theater, where cars are in traffic, and one car with a surfboard on top is owned by an annoyed surfer-driver inside.*
Driver: Oh, man. Bogus. Stupid car. *Sighs* I wish you could just fly over stuff so I wouldn't have to sit here…
*Of course, when speaking of a wish, the green mist starts to come out of his car vents, and Desiree's voice is heard.*
Desiree: So you wish it, so shall it be…
Driver: *Confused* What the heck? *Turns on car radio* Hey, this isn't my station!
*Suddenly, his car begins to glow green, and the wheels turn horizontally, and out of nowhere, it zooms up into the air and the man screams as the car flies off. When Danny and Carrie are leaving the movie theater, their ghost senses go off, and they look up to see Desiree flying away.*
Carrie: *Groans* The hell did she do now?
Danny: Yeah, jeez, lady, don't you ever take a break? *Sees the flying car* Flying car?
Carrie: Huh… Now, that's something you don't see every day.
Danny: Maybe in the future, we will?
Carrie: Let's hope not, dude.
*Finding themselves hitched on another wild goose chase, both halfas jump behind the theater's box office and go ghost, then fly up alongside the flying car, taking each side, where the driver is still screaming in a panic.*
Danny: Hey, slow down, Jeff Gordon! You're going over the speed limit. *Looks to the side* And the height limit.
*Not even bothering to answer, the driver continues to scream as the car zooms ahead and suddenly, Tucker flies up next to Danny.*
Tucker: Don't sweat this one, guys. I'm on it.
*The moment both half-ghosts are met with their best friend somehow in the air, they screech to a halt in surprise while watching Tucker fly off after the car.*
Carrie: *Becomes shocked* What the?!
Danny: *Also shocked* Tucker?!
*As the car is still flying and swerving around with the man screaming inside, Tucker phases down into the passenger seat.*
Tucker: Chill, dude. Tucker Phantom's on the case.
Danny: *Phases head through backseat* Tucker Phantom? *Phasing body through seat* Okay, ignoring the total originality of that, *Sits down* how the heck did you get ghost powers anyway?
Carrie: *Phases through and sits beside Danny* Yeah, and come up with a better hero name, that's kind of Danny's, Foley…
Tucker: Maybe, I will. And who knows, maybe I'll even help you conjure up a hero name, too, Care. But most importantly, who cares how I got ghost powers? Now, if you'll excuse me, *Grabs the steering wheel* I have some heroic exploits to attend to.
Danny: *Grabs the steering wheel as well* Tucker, we're too young to drive!
Carrie: *Joins* Yeah, and frankly, I'd rather learn how to drive on the ground, thank you very much!
*The driver screams as the car begins to swerve and spin around.*
Danny: Let go of the wheel! This is serious!
*Soon, both Danny and Carrie get knocked into the backseat where Tucker and the driver scream as the car flies towards a building. And together, the two halfas phase the entire car intangible and it successfully manages to fly seamlessly through the building and out the other side; Tucker looks out the side window back at his best friends through the back window.*
Tucker: Oh, sure… Phase the car through the building. You guys just had to save the day, didn't you?
Danny: Uh, yeah, because a car smashing into the twenty-eighth floor of anything is bad!
Tucker: You guys are just jealous because there's somebody else around *Points thumb at self* to grab the spotlights now.
Carrie: Jealous!?
Diver: *Pointing ahead* Yo, hallucinations! Focus!
Danny: When have we ever grabbed the spotlight?
Tucker: How about right now, for instance?
Carrie: *Narrows her eyebrows* Uh, because the car was about to smash into a building? What do you expect us to do? Let it crash?!
*Suddenly, driving the trio out of their argument, the driver screams as his car crashes into the open-top window of a grain silo on a farm. The car then falls down and out of the bottom doors of the silo where a chicken lands and pecks at the grain, but the driver pops his head out of it so that the chicken is on his head; he looks up and notices, then smiles.*
Driver: Chyeah! There's a chicken on my head!
Danny: *Phases out of the grain* Tucker, please. This is stupid. *Watches Tucker phase out of grain* You're my best friend. I'm not jealous. I'm concerned.
Carrie: *Phases out of the grain next* Yeah, and seriously, you're calling us jealous? You were the one complaining about how we *Gestures to Danny* always have to save the day. Now, to me - that's jealousy.
Tucker: *To Carrie with arms crossed* Whatever. *Faces Danny* And, dude, don't be, because this town's big enough for more than two ghost kids.
*As he begins to fly off, Danny reaches out.*
Danny: Tucker, wait!
*He does so for a brief second, but glares down at the duo, then turns and zooms off at a sonic speed, earning a strong breeze of wind to blow through them.*
Danny: Whoa! We can't fly that fast. *Looks up at Carrie* Is he getting more powerful?
Carrie: *Crosses her arms and floats beside him* Better hope not. Because Foley's attitude could really use a letdown right at this moment.
*Later that day, after discovering that Tucker Foley is now a part ghost, the dark-skinned boy figured to ignore the incident earlier and decided to go on a shenanigan spree. Now, in the Fade to the storefront of the Mr. Meat butcher shop, Tucker's head is sticking out of a platter of food in the window display while he is holding his PDA, video-chatting with a still-sick Sam on it.*
Sam: *Sneezes* So, why didn't you guys see a movie today?
Tucker: Uh, we got a little distracted.
*On the digital screen, the ill teen is resting on her bed, blowing her nose on a tissue.*
Tucker: I'm just goofing off by myself now.
*Just then, a man walks by on the sidewalk and suddenly cringes in surprise at seeing Tucker's head.*
Sam: What happened? Danny and Carrie have ghost trouble?
*When she asks this, a dog walks up to the window, and Tucker sticks his tongue out at it, causing the animal to run away.*
Tucker: You might say that. So, how are ya?
Sam: Ugh, it's horrible, Tucker. *Sneezes again, but this time into a tissue* But somehow, I'll muddle through. And besides, Care is coming over, so don't worry…
*Once they hang up at the same time, Sam shuts her laptop, picks up a remote, and presses a button, where a large set of speakers comes up out of the floor at the foot of her bed and blasts super-loud music that nearly blows her and her bed away.*
'I didn't want to tell Sam about my new ghost powers yet. What if she got as jealous as Danny and Carrie did?'
*The next day at the exterior of Casper High School, Mr. Lancer is in the hallway, about to drink from a water fountain until suddenly, the fountain's handle spins around on its own, causing water to shoot into Mr. Lancer's face; he leans back in surprise.*
Mr. Lancer: MOBY DICK!
*Next, the vice-principal's belt suddenly comes undone on its own, slides out of his belt loops, and falls to the floor. He notices and reaches down for the belt, but the fountain turns on and splashes water in his face again. His tie then comes undone on its own.*
Mr. Lancer: Gulliver's Travels! I'm losing my mind! *His pants fall down* And my pants!
'And speaking of Danny and Carrie…'
*As they watch this happen, students begin laughing around Mr. Lancer, and he glares at them just for Tucker to phase out of a wall around the corner and looks back at the scene, laughing as well when both Danny and Carrie come up behind him. One halfa sniffs while the other is currently contaminating herself by wearing a mask.*
Danny: Nice trick. Do you do kids' parties?
Tucker: *Turns around* Dude, relax. I'm just having fun. *Eyes widen when noticing Danny's condition* You okay, man?
Danny: I may be catching Sam's cold, *Glances at Carrie* even with that mask, how are you not, Care?
Carrie: *Narrows her eyebrows* Because unlike an idiotic, I come fully vaccinated and prepared for a battle of sickness, Fenton. *Sighs* But right now, that's not important. *Faces Tucker* Tucker, look…
Tucker: No need. You guys can keep that superhero jazz to yourself. I'm in this for the kicks.
Carrie: *Glances over to Danny* Do it.
Danny: *Nods* I was afraid of this… *Puts hand on Tucker's shoulder* I hate to do this, pal, but I need to see what's going on inside of you, and there's only one way to do that.
*Without hesitation, Danny turns intangible and overshadows Tucker, who starts to glow green. His eyes turn red and he grunts as he fights back against Danny's presence and suddenly forces the male halfa out of his chest, projecting him towards a "Personnel Only" door. When Danny phases through the door while yelling and crashes inside a janitor's closet, Tucker opens the door and glares down at him as Carrie shoves past the Foley to check on her partner.*
Tucker: Don't ever do that again. Get it?
Danny: Got it.
Tucker: Good. *To Carrie* And don't even think about pulling that same hat trick, Care!
*He walks away, leaving Danny to frown sadly before being helped off the ground by Carrie, where the two wonder what has happened to their best friend.*
'Okay, maybe I was a little rough on Danny and Carrie. But nobody likes a couple of party poopers. And man, was I having one hell of a party.'
*Now, in the cafeteria where lunch is served, students gasp in shock as an invisible Tucker walks by holding a lunch tray so that it looks like it's floating on its own.*
Tucker: Excuse me, pardon me…
*As he sings to himself while cutting to the front of the line and serves himself some food, all the other students drop their trays and run away, screaming. But that wasn't it in Tucker Foley's playbook where next, in music class, with students playing their instruments, an invisible Tucker phase through the ceiling, holding a bottle of purple soda and smiling mischievously.
He pours the soda into the opening of a tuba, causing the tuba player to stop playing to have soda squirt out of his nose, mouth, and ears. And finally, on the next step of his agenda, Tucker is outside Casper High, materializing behind a tree, and peeking out from behind it, wondering what he could do with his ghost powers this time.*
Tucker: Hmm, there's one little ghost trick I haven't tried yet: the ghost-imposed hookup.
*Right on cue, Paulina Sanchez is seen walking along the path, the same area Danny and Carrie were in just to have their ghost senses go off, and they see Tucker behind the tree watching the Latina.*
Danny: Oh, no…
Carrie: You know, maybe we 'oughta let it slide-
*Before she could even consider finishing this, Danny glares at her, which earns an annoyed groan.*
Carrie: Fine, let's save Paulina… Again!
*Unfortunately, the halfas were too late because Tucker turns intangible and phases into Paulina, overshadowing her and causing her eyes to glow light blue, much like Carrie's. She stops walking and puts a hand on her hip as both Danny and Carrie walk up to her.*
Tucker(overshadowing Paulina): I just wanted to let you know, I'm gonna start dating Tucker Foley. *Points at Danny* He's much cooler than you are, so stop chasing me. *Points at Carrie* And you, someone should really tell you when to get that angry emotion on a leash, because sometimes, hearing your voice makes my ears bleed.
*Once he speaks this insulting truth, Carrie growls angrily as her green eyes turn those same scary bright blue, making Danny place a hand on her shoulder, advising that she calm down.*
Danny: *Unimpressed* Tucker, get out of there.
Tucker(as Paulina): *Shakes head* Why don't you make me?
Danny: Fine! I will!
*Next, Danny turns intangible and overshadows Paulina as well. She glows green during the action, then turns around and opens her eyes, which are glowing green as Danny takes charge of her body, which makes Carrie cringe a bit.*
Danny(Overshadowing Paulina): Tucker, you're turning the whole school upside-down. How 'bout giving it a break?
Tucker(as Paulina with her eyes glowing teal): *Turns around and points* How about getting off my back and letting me have a little fun?
Danny(as Paulina, eyes glowing green): *Turns around and points* Because your fun is kind of mean. *Jerks thumb over shoulder* Now get out of Paulina!
Tucker(as Paulina, eyes glowing teal): *Turns around* I was here first. You go.
Danny(as Paulina, eyes glowing green): *Turns* No, you!
Carrie: *Finally cuts in* OKAY! OKAY! How about both of you get out of Paulina! Because as much as I despise the girl, this is getting way outta hand, Tuck!
Tucker(as Paulina, eyes glowing teal): Danny should leave first. Because Babazita's genie *Points a thumb at self* gave me these powers, and I'll use them how I want.
*Finally, not having the time to argue, Danny (now in ghost form) phases out of Paulina, and floats in the air invisibly.*
Danny: Then maybe I need to have a chat with this Babazita. *Glances down at Carrie* Come on, Care!
Carrie: *Goes ghost* Right behind you!
*Once they fly off, Tucker still possessing Paulina can't take this monstrosity.*
Tucker(Overshadowing Paulina): Fine! But we *Cups hand to mouth* aren't friends anymore, Danny Fenton and Carrie Mayth!
*Soon, Paulina glows green and her eyes briefly turn red as Tucker finally phases out of her and flies off, leaving the Sanchez girl dazed and confused.*
Paulina: Uh, what? Huh? *Looks around to see classmates watching her, confused* And- *Points a finger up in the air while still looking around* I never was friends with you!
'It was our first argument, and we were having it over a girl. Well, in one, actually… But, you get the point.'
*Now, being back at the swap meet with Carrie this time, she and Danny are chatting with Babazita at her table, who jumps up on her table to explain and act out Desiree's story, making the duo jump back a bit as they causally watch this, and attempt to make out what the woman is showing.*
'That was my mistake, reminding Danny and Carrie where the ghost came from. Because Desiree was a harem girl who had promised her heart's desire: her own kingdom…'
*Before the death of human Desiree happened, she was dancing with a sultan while admiring the palace where apparently, the sultan's wife is pointing for Desiree to get out.
'…Only to be banished by the sultan's jealous wife. She died of a broken heart… And old age.'
Soon, a new ghost Desiree is flying above a village.
'After that, her spirit roamed… Granting people's deepest desires.'
Ghost Desiree grants a medieval man a bag of gold coins.
'But at a great personal cost…'
Unfortunately, that man is giving coins to a lady he loves as a sad Desiree watches.
'Hey, who knew?'
Once the act is finally finished, Carrie sighs, feeling saddened by this story.*
*And now, Danny and Carrie could have a strategy, but first, they need to get the beloved genie. So, both halfas are standing at a fountain within the park, where one is holding the Fenton Thermos while the other holds a coin before letting out a sniff.*
Carrie: Man, you don't sound good.
Danny: Boy, Sam was right… You do like to point out the obvious. *Glances at the coin in his hand* Okay, if you're trying to snag a wishing ghost, what better place than a wishing well?
*He flips the coin into the fountain and looks around expectantly, but nothing happens.*
Carrie: *Groans* What a bummer…
Danny: *Sneezes and begins to walk away* Come on, there has to be some other way to reach this genie.
*As the two teens walk away, a well-dressed man walks up to the fountain and holds up a coin.*
Man: I wish I had a million bucks…
*Once he flips the coin into the fountain, a green mist comes out of the water and wraps itself around the man. Meaning, that Desiree has been summoned.*
Desiree: So it is desired, so shall it be…
*Finally, this catches Danny and Carrie's attention and they turn around to notice what is happening.*
Danny: Huh?
Carrie: Oh, now she shows up when a random guy does it!
*Their eyes flash blue and green and together, Danny and Carrie become the ghost versions of themselves, then rush over towards the man where Danny grabs him from the green mist, holding him in his arms.*
Danny: Oh, no, you don't!
Desiree: *Materializing out of the fountain* Young intruders, you two dare to interfere with my spellbinding?!
Man: Money isn't everything!
*He then jumps out of Danny's arms and runs away, screaming.*
Danny: Listen, Desiree, I want you to take away Tucker's ghost powers, pronto.
Carrie: Please, it's changing him, not for the good, but for the worse.
Desiree: I cannot, dear children. By noon tomorrow, your friend's fate will be sealed. *Laughs evilly* His jealousy will transform him forever into the most powerful ghost boy in the world! *Laughs evilly again*
Danny: Tuck? He's not that jealous. Is he?
Carrie: I mean, why else would he become a ghost? *In a sing-song voice* Jealousy~!
Desiree: Yes… And the more you two will know. Tomorrow his jealousy and frustration will cement into rage and rebellion. He will be complete.
*After she's explained this, Desiree is about to fly away until Danny has had enough and grabs her by the tail.*
Danny: You change him back!
Desiree: You dare lay a hand on me?! Unlike your friend who is a woman, no man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it!
Danny: Yeah? How 'bout a fist?
*Danny then tries to spin and punch Desiree, but she flies out of the way. She changes her left hand into a lasso and throws it around Danny's waist, catching him. He screams as she swings him up into the air and throws him back down on half of a wooden bench, crushing it as a lady feeds birdseed while sitting on the other half, oblivious. Desiree lets go of Danny and then zooms down towards him, but suddenly, Carrie lets out a battle cry and out of nowhere, shoots a blue-colored ectoblast at her.*
Carrie: Stay away from my friend!
*The ectoblast hits Desiree and she wails as she falls to the ground. However, the genie then smiles evilly and reaches two giant hands out, extending them and pinning both Danny and Carrie (whose mask has fallen off without notice) to the ground underneath each one; she towers above them.*
Carrie: *Struggling* Just when I unlocked my new ghost ability, I was immediately taken down by Miss Wishing Star!
Danny: *Also struggling* Aah! Can't break free! Can't go intangible and escape!
*Suddenly, Danny spots the thermos lying a few feet from his head.*
Desiree: You can't do anything unless I wish it!
Danny: Or I do… *Grabs the thermos, uncaps it, and points it at Desiree* I wish you would disappear inside this thermos!
Desiree: What? *Retracts her arms* Nooo! I must obey… *While getting sucked into thermos* You two will pay for this! Paaaaaay!
*Once the genie ghost is finally done and dealt with, Danny caps the thermos and helps Carrie off the ground.*
Danny: If I weren't a 'C' student, I would've thought of that five days ago.
Carrie: *Scoffs* No, you wouldn't…
Danny: *Rolls his eyes* Anyways, now we need to find Tuck.
*Moments later, the two hybrids found themselves back in Casper High's hallway, the clock on the wall shows it's 11:45 when Danny and Carrie walk in (both human) and look up at the clock.*
Danny: Quarter to noon, and no sign of Tucker.
*He suddenly stops in surprise and gasps as his and Carrie's ghost senses are set off, which makes Danny look up at the sign above the door next to him, which reads, "School Records."*
Danny: Should've guessed.
Carrie: I mean, what would a boy be doing in here anyway?
*They phase through the door as ghosts to find Tucker typing at a computer. He is changing the grades on his permanent record to 'A's.'*
Danny: Tucker, you're changing your grades?! That's cheating!
Tucker: *Turns around in desk chair* I like to think of it as 'academic enrichment.' Want me to do both of yours?
Carrie: *Puts a hand on chin* Now, that you offered, I am failing Chemistry, make it at least a B- Ow!
*Before she could contribute to anything, Danny elbows his partner in the arm.*
Danny: Remember, Care, he's in real danger. *Reaches a hand out toward Tucker* Tuck, listen, you're-
*And just when Danny could at least talk the dark-skinned figure out of this, Tucker leans back from his touch and growls as his body turns and glows green, leaving his eyes to turn bright red.*
Danny: *Puts his hands up defensively* Take it easy. We're friends, remember?
Carrie: *Holds onto Danny's arm* Yeah, Tuck, look, we're just really worried. This is getting out of hand, if you could just-!
Tucker: *To Carrie* Oh, shut it, Carrie! We're only friends on your guys' terms. *Points a thumb to himself* But now I make the rules around here. My first rule is, 'No more Danny Phantom and Carrie the non-named ghost.'
*After threatening this, Tucker sucks in a deep breath and blows out a powerful green breath that knocks Danny off his feet, causing him to crash into Carrie as the two scream and phase through the door and across the hallway through a set of lockers into a science classroom where they crash against a blackboard and fall to the floor.*
Danny: He's getting more malevolent. More ghost-like.
Carrie: We have to break this spell fast!
*Soon, the green-skinned angry Tucker phases into the classroom.*
Danny: *Stands up with Carrie* Tuck, please! You have to listen to me. There isn't much time!
Tucker: You got that right, dude. *Brings his hands back to charge up an ecto-blast* Because you and Carrie's time is up.
*Without hesitation, Tucker shoots the ecto-blast at the pair as he jumps out of the way and flies along the ceiling as he tries to hit them with more ectoblast. Carrie flies and lands behind Tucker then flips off his beret over his head and jumps out of the way as the Foley swings and attempts to try and punch her.
Now, Tucker then shoots multiple ecto-blasts at Danny as he runs behind a table of lab equipment, which the ecto-blasts hit. Tucker then reaches down and puts his beret back on, only to look up and see the Phantom boy throw a skeleton at him. He turns intangible and the skeleton phases through him, hitting the wall behind him.*
Tucker: Ha! Is that the best you can do?
*Danny then ducks behind the table as Tucker shoots more ecto-blasts at him.*
Danny: Unfortunately, yes. *To Carrie* We can't get through to him!
Carrie: We have to try something at least!
Danny: *Pauses while getting an idea and smiles* There is. And I know what can. Follow my lead… *Jumps out to float in front of the table* Catch us if you can, Sucker Phantom!
*Together, the two halfas turn intangible, then smile, and wave as they phase down through the floor, which causes Tucker to go over towards the spot they phased through and begin to yell at it.*
Tucker: That's Tucker Phantom! *Turns intangible* Tucker!
*He phases through the floor next to find himself floating invisibly within the girls' locker room.*
Danny: The girls' locker room... *Smiles curiously* So this is what it's like in here!
Carrie: *Rolls her eyes* Ugh, yeah, it's every teenage boy's dream to see what the girls' locker room is like... *Runs a hand down her face* But if I were you, I'd cover my eyes, or hide somewhere 'cause there are a lot of things teenage boys like you shouldn't see now...
*By doing so, Danny phases into one of the lockers, leaving Carrie to peek from behind them just as Tucker phases down through the ceiling and turns tangible.*
Tucker: The girls' locker room… *Relaxes momentarily and looks around* So this is what it's like in here.
*Suddenly, Carrie comes in and stuffs a bra over Tucker's head, then grabs him and phases him through the wall into the basketball gym with Danny following closely behind. He watches Carrie take Tucker over and stuff him through the basketball hoop, smiling down at him. When the green-skinned boy lands on his head, and the bra lands on his butt, Danny looks at the gym clock.*
Danny: Only five minutes left… *To Tucker* Ha! You got no game!
Carrie: Literally! And you got beaten by me - a GIRL!
*After expressing this, Tucker stands and glares then transforms into a taller, more powerful, and monster-like ghost while letting out a roar. He opens his eyes to reveal they are fully red now, which causes the half-ghost duo to look worried but phase out through the wall of the gym, and Tucker follows. Outside up in the air, Tucker flies in chase after both Danny and Carrie, who suddenly vanish, where it makes Tucker come to a stop and float in confusion.*
Tucker: Where are you guys? Where?!
*Soon, his ghost sense suddenly goes off, and he turns around to find Danny and Carrie, arms crossed and grinning knowingly while floating behind him.*
Danny: What's the matter? Can't catch what you can't see?
*Tucker lunges after Danny and tries to grab him, but Danny vanishes into thin air again.*
Carrie: Gotta be quicker than that, Foley!
*He then lunges after Carrie, who vanished next, and soon, both she and Danny reappear flying above Fenton Works, looking around for the mutant Tucker.*
Danny: Where is he? He has to have followed us. *Looks behind him* It's almost noon!
Carrie: I still don't understand what this plan is, but it sounds like we gotta hurry!
*Suddenly, before they could continue their merry way into his home, Tucker appeared right in front of them.*
Tucker: Yo... *Yelling in Danny's face* WHAT'S THE DIZZLE, FIZZLE?!
*Mutant Tucker then grabs Danny and Carrie, turns them all intangible, and starts phasing them down through the levels of Fenton Works.*
Danny: *In fake acting tone* No! Don't throw me into the Ghost Zone. Please!
Carrie: *With same tone* Yes! And please, don't also throw me into the Ghost Zone! I'm just a young girl!
Tucker: I wasn't going to, but that is a great idea!
*They phase down into the Fenton Works' laboratory where the clock on the wall shows that it is 11:59 and 51 seconds, and counting.*
Danny: I'm only gonna have one shot at this… *To Carrie* Get ready to use our new abilities, Care.
*When they turn tangible, again, Danny, still in Tucker's grasp, starts to charge up his hands with green ecto-blasts while Carrie does the same with her blue ones, but suddenly stops and watches as her partner tremendously sneeze all over Tucker prompting the mutant Foley to let go of them; and he does so.*
Tucker: Hey, cover your mouth!
*Fists that are still charged up with green and blue energy, Danny and Carrie lunge at Tucker and hit him, sending the dark-skinned teen backward through the Fenton Ghost Catcher, which successfully separates Tucker and the ghost of Tucker Phantom, with their now-human best friend falling to the floor; once he opens his normal teal-colored eyes, he finds the ghost leering over him.*
Tucker: Is… *Points to his scary-looking ghost version* Is that me?
*The ghost version of himself growls angrily and roars as Tucker cowers, but then frantically looks back to see Danny sucking him into the thermos, sweating.*
Danny: No, it's not you, Tuck. Not anymore.
*With Carrie's help, Tucker gets off the floor and walks up to Danny as he caps the thermos.*
Tucker: Oh, man... Guys, I'm sorry. I-I couldn't control myself, I-
*Suddenly cutting him off, Carrie pulls Tucker in for a loving embrace who instantly returns it.*
Carrie: You don't need to apologize, Tuck. We know it wasn't you…
Danny: Yeah… *Sniffs* You were under the genie's spell, and you broke it.
Tucker: *Pulls away* Yeah, but none of that would've happened if I wasn't jealous.
Danny: Or if I had been a little less of a show-off around you... *Sticks a hand out* Friends?
Tucker: *Shakes his hand* The best.
*Once the two boys shook hands, the trio walked off whereas behind them, in the tent, Maddie and Jack Fenton peeked out and looked around, then looked at each other and shrugged, then closed the tent flap again, figuring maybe they were hallucinating.*
*Now, when the next day had arrived, at the Foley residence, a very sick Tucker was sitting with a pillow behind his head, blankets wrapped around him, and a thermometer in his mouth, typing on his PDA with the stylus.*
'Tucker Foley - digital journal, Saturday. They say, 'Be careful what you wish for.' To that, I'd like to add a big, fat 'Duh!'
*However, not only was the techno-geek sick, but he managed to get it from Danny, who was sitting next to Tucker on a couch, extremely sick where he also had a pillow behind his head as well as an ice pack on top of it, and is wrapped in blankets like Tucker; Tucker looks over at Danny, smiling.*
'Cause I couldn't wish for a better one…'
*Soon, Danny and Tucker both sneeze at exactly the same time whereas Sam and Carrie walk in, carrying a couple of trays with bowls of hot soup, each taking care of nursing the two boys back to health.*
Sam: Jeez, do you guys have to share everything?
Carrie: *Walks over to Danny* Yeah, I mean, *Gestures to Sam* we're best friends, but we don't go around sharing sicknesses...
Danny: *Smiling* You don't know the half of it.
*Both boys look and smile at each other, seeing as everything really is back to normal.*
Carrie: Well, I guess it's safe to say that I may be immune to getting sick, guys!
Danny: *Glances weakly at his partner* Uh, remember when we fought Desiree and your mask came off?
Carrie: Still. I'm just glad to be the only one who is actually precautionary about this stuff!
*Suddenly, without even realizing it, Carrie lets out a sneeze, and everyone in the living room becomes a bit taken by surprise when it's been made; Carrie Mayth has sneezed, which means…*
Carrie: Aw, no!
