{"IT WILL LEAVE YOU IN STITCHES!"}
*Another day, another innocent civilian was in danger inside Casper High School, one of its science teachers, Mr. Falluca, stood (amazed) in front of a large ecto-insect that floated drastically in front of him.*
Mr. Falluca: *Fazed* Fascinating… Possibly some of the most interesting mandibular formations I've ever seen… *Becomes afraid* I hope I don't end up seeing it from the inside!
*Just when the giant ghost bug leans forward to him, right on cue, Danny and Carrie appear from behind the bug and phase into the ground right underneath. This caused the ecto-insect to become confused for a moment before it was tackled and flew through the ceiling by the halfas that flew from underneath.*
Danny: Anybody up for a Game of 'Slug-Bug?'
*They take the bug outside and throw it onto the ground. The bug then stood up and tried shooting both teens with eye lasers, but they easily dodged them. However, they watch as the ecto-insect charges right at them, causing the halfas to be cautious and ready to dodge, but the bug quickly turns around and blasts ectoplasmic goo from its nose. Danny and Carrie get hit and are caught hanging upside down in a tree that Paulina Sanchez is walking by; she gasps (when looking at Danny only).*
Paulina: It's the ghost boy!
Carrie: And the ghost girl, too? *Waves her hand from upside down* Hi, there.
Danny: Paulina! You should run!
*However, instead of running away from the halfas dangling from a tree, Paulina slowly runs towards him with open arms as if he had asked her to.*
Carrie: *Groans and rolls her eyes* Remember she's got a huge crush on you, dude…
Danny: No, not towards me! *Holds his hands out, ready to fire an ecto-ray* Away! Run!
*He then blasts the bug that was close behind her until after the insect is shot back, Paulina finally runs away. Soon, the two teens break free from the goo and start to fly away, with the bug chasing them. They stop when they reach a telephone wire which causes a smirk to erupt on Carrie's face as an idea strikes within her mind.*
Carrie: You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Danny: Oh, yeah… *Floating in place and staring down the ecto-insect flying towards them* Bug…
*And just when the bug could reach them at the last second, Danny and Carrie fly up to have the bug get hit by the wires and get electrocuted.*
Danny: …Zapper. *Holds his hand out for a high five* Nice job, Care.
Carrie: *High fives him* You, too, Phantom. *Places her elbow on his shoulder* We make a pretty good team as always, huh?
*However, the duo couldn't celebrate their small victory just yet as suddenly, the bug explodes into hundreds of tiny ghost bugs, and they all fly into the school.*
Danny: Well, one down, a billion to go…
Carrie: *Groans* We're gonna need to call a ghost exterminator at this point…
*And so, once the duo flew back into the school and reverted back into their human selves, and figured that they could easily smack the tiny ecto-flies dead with their hands. As they walked through the hallway, a terrible smell filled their nostrils.*
Danny: Phugh, *Covers his nose* what is that smell?
Carrie: *Covering her nose* Ohh, please don't tell me you made another bet with Dash again?
Danny: *Remembering the bet he had made with Dash on Halloween, he shakes his head* No! After losing the competition, I figured never to bet against him again. However, if it was gonna come down to another one; I would be using my ghost powers.
Carrie: Well, that's great to hear, but uhh, *Points her finger* I think I might have found the solution.
*Danny looks toward the direction her finger is pointing at and his blue orbs catch Tucker spraying himself with cologne.*
Danny: Ugh, gross!
Carrie: Foley, where did you buy that? It smells awful!
Tucker: I didn't buy it from anywhere, Care, *Shows her and Danny the can* this is my new all-over body spray. I made it myself, I call it: 'Foley by Tucker Foley.' *Starts spraying himself again* It combined with your natural odor to create a sweet manly scent. That smells different to everyone who sniffs it.
Danny: Tuck, you smell like a sweaty cookie.
Carrie: A snickerdoodle one if we're being specific… *Groans in disgust* And you seriously think that'll make girls change their perspectives about you?
Tucker: It's by choice. The ladies will be swarming all over me.
Carrie: If we weren't friends, I definitely wouldn't…
*As this conversation is happening, the ghost bugs fly throughout the hall, which causes Danny and Carrie's ghost senses to be set off while Paulina is walking through a crowd of boys who were greeting her with "Hey, Paulina." unaware that she may never like any of them no matter how hard they try.*
Paulina: So many boys, *Heads over to her locker and opens it* but only one of you…
*And inside the locker, it is decorated; filled with pictures of Danny Phantom. Carrie rolls her eyes and groans (jealousy) quietly at this sight until suddenly, one of the ghost bugs lands on the back of her hand and phases into it.*
Paulina: *Holds her wrist* Ow! Hey, you blemished my flawless skin!
*When she closes her locker and walks away, Tucker, Sam, Danny, and Carrie are walking down the hall past the nurse's office. However, the moment Tucker's eyes land on the word "Nurse" he stops a few feet away from the office, frozen in shock.*
Tucker: Uhhh…
Danny: Tucker? *Waves hand in front of his face* Hello… *Looks at Sam* What's wrong with him?
Sam: This happens every time he gets near the nurse's office.
Tucker: *Starts freaking out* Nu-nu-nu-nu- nurse!?
Sam: This is a bad one. In a case like this, it's best not to let him see… *Puts a paper bag on Tucker's head, and allows him to grab her shoulders so she can guide him away from the door* Come on, Tuck, find a happy place.
Tucker: Right, I'm not passing a nurse's office, I'm passing a… modeling agency…
*Once they made it past the nurse's office Danny and Carrie followed behind. Tucker takes the bag off his head and sighs in relief.*
Tucker: Thanks, Sam.
Danny: You're afraid of the nurse's office?
Tucker: Yes! Nurse's offices, doctor's offices, hospitals! Any place with sharp pointy sticky things, and the smell of sick people.
Carrie: Okay, I can agree on the sick people one, but the first one - can't.
Sam: *Smells the air* Ugh, speaking of sick smells, what is that? Gym socks and snickerdoodles?
Danny and Tucker: *Union* 'Foley, by Tucker Foley.'
Danny: *Deadpans* It's Tucker's cologne…
Carrie: And I told you there was a snickerdoodle smell somewhere in that so-called, *Finger quotes* 'cologne.'
*Soon, her and Danny's ghost senses go off, and suddenly, the four look to find Paulina owning a green ghostly glow.*
Danny: Uh, is Paulina glowing?
Sam: Uh, we know she's supposed to have flawless skin, but honestly, this is ridiculous.
Carrie: Normally, I'd a hundred percent agree with what you say, Manson, but Danny's right, she is glowing… but she's glowing like a ghost…
Paulina: *Sighs sickly* Augh, I feel terrible… I'm disfigured… *Looks at her hand angrily* Stupid bug bite!
Danny: Bug bite?
*Just then, an ecto-fly buzzes right past him, he gasps as it flies behind his sister, Jazz Fenton, who was walking down the hall and bites the back of her bite, causing the older teen to let out a small shout, drops her books, and hits the back of her head. As Kwan and Star laughed at the auburn-haired sudden movement, two flies were next to give them bites.
Kwan: *Gets bit from the back of his head* Ow!
Star: *Gets bit on the back of her butt* Ow!
Student 1: *Runs away with bugs surrounding his head* Ow! Ow! Ow!
Rebecca: *Single bug bites her neck* Ow!
*Many students run away, screaming as they are being swarmed by more ghost bugs.*
Carrie: Aw, man! It's those ghost bugs, we should've gotten them when they separated from Charlotte!
Tucker: Charlotte?
Carrie: Just a little name I gave to the bug, plus it reminded me of the book; 'Charlotte's Web?' Y'know, it's about a pig forming a bond with a spider? *Notices their clueless expressions* First grade? Mrs. Alberstath read it to us? *Flaps her hands in frustration* We literally watched the movie together!? *Becomes annoyed* Seriously, nothing!?
Danny: *Puts his hand on her shoulder* We'll talk about this later, Care! Until then, *To Sam and Tucker* cover us, guys… I'm going ghost!
*As the two run towards an open room, Carrie decides to get one last say about the spider-pig topic.*
Carrie: *Groans* And just when I thought I'd never have to watch the movie again… *Sighs* I'm going ghost!
*With Sam and Tucker guarding the door, a flash of light is made within the room, meaning their best friends have become their ghostly selves. Now, Danny and Carrie go intangible and fly through the door and floor. First, Danny goes to the basement and catches a swarm in the Fenton Thermos. Next, Carrie phases through, the wall and sucks another swarm that was attacking a kid into the thermos before going through the hall and catching more ghost bugs, which finally leaves Danny sticking his head out of the floor into a classroom to catch another swarm before he and Carrie revert back to their human selves and meet back with Sam and Tucker.*
Danny: Well, that's all of them.
*However, it appears that the duo has missed one as a ghost bug flies by and bites Sam's arm.*
Sam: *Hits her arm* Ow!
Carrie: Except one…
*Unfortunately, it wasn't just the one Sam had gotten, but the halfas then see Dash running away, shouting as a swarm of ghost bugs chase after him.*
Danny: Or more.
*They watched as Dash suddenly phases through the bathroom door and bugs the phase inside him.*
Carrie: Uhh, I think I'll let you take it from here.
*And so, Danny goes towards the bathroom and opens the door to hear Dash moaning from inside one of the stalls.*
Danny: Hey, Dash, uh, not that I care, *Walks over to the stall he's in* but are you okay?
Dash: *Sickly* I don't feel so good…
Danny: Yeah, this always happens on goulash day.
*Suddenly, two ectoplasmic beams are shot through the door at Danny.*
Danny: Although, I've never seen goulash do that...
*Soon, the stall door breaks open and Dash comes out a giant, green ghost monster.*
Dash: *Demonic voice* GET AWAY!
*He grabs Danny and throws him into a different stall, which allows the teen to go ghost and fly through the ceiling to hit Dash in the back, pushing him against the wall. Danny picks the monster version of the jock up and is about to hit him.*
Danny: I wish I could say I didn't want to do this, but-
*However, just when the halfa could have this opportunity to give his bully a one for it, Dash reverts back to human form and collapses on Danny's shoulder, moaning in exhaustion.*
Danny: Ugh, and just one cheap shot away from a semester full of payback…
*Now, announcements were made that the students in Casper High were placed under quarantine due to a "virus" having affected them. And parents were not pleased with this as they gathered around the double doors where on the other side of the room, held the sick children, and Jack and Maddie Fenton were speaking with Mr. Falluca due to their own daughter being one of the sick patients.*
Maddie: Why can't we see our children, Mr. Falluca? This is outrageous! They're sick! They need us!
Mr. Falluca: Yeah, well, I understand your concern folks, but I have been instructed not to disseminate any information at this time.
Maddie: *Clenches her fists in frustration* But you're a teacher! It's your job to disseminate information!
Jack: *Crying* Poor Jazz… She's always been my favorite… *Blows his nose in a white handkerchief, then hands it to Danny* Here you go Danny, don't lose this. It was your grandfather's.
Danny: *Takes the snot-filled handkerchief* Yeugh!
Carrie: *Cringes in disgust* Ugh… *Places her elbow against his shoulder* If you ever need to talk about your folks neglecting you, I'm here for ya, dude…
Danny: Speaking of negligence, where's your mom?
Carrie: She's over there, *Points a finger where her mother is chatting with a nurse* talking with Nurse Gale about Sam.
Danny: Uh, why, exactly?
Carrie: Dude, have you met Sam's parents? Those two wouldn't care about their kid even if she was dying! So, in case of any medical emergencies, whenever Mr. and Mrs. Manson aren't able to make it, they have my mom placed under emergency contact.
Danny: Sheesh, they call us the heroes. Joyce is practically one for the emotional ones.
Carrie: Only when it comes to Sam. Poor thing, I hope she's okay…
Tucker: *Whispers for them* Hey, Danny, Carrie, check this out…
*The duo walk over to the techno-geek who holds his hand in a fist.*
Danny: What's up?
Tucker: *Opens his hand to show a ghost bug* I got another one.
Carrie: *Eyes widen and whispers harshly* Foley, are you crazy!?
Danny: Tucker, get rid of that thing!
Tucker: No, no, look… *Softly pokes the fly* it won't bite me, or phase through my skin, or anything.
Danny: That's weird, *Gestures to himself and Carrie* I figured our ghost powers were protecting us. What's protecting you?
Carrie: *Instantly understands why the bug isn't infatuated by Tucker's skin and places her hand on her forehead* I can take a guess...
Danny and Tucker: *Points at each other in union* 'Foley by Tucker Foley.'
Danny: Wow. It's not just repelling, it's a repellent.
Carrie: Figures...
*Soon, the door where the sick students are held opens and an extremely pale-skinned doctor walks out.*
Carrie: *Shudders a bit* Sheesh, and I thought Dr. Who was creepy at first…
Dr. Bert Rand: Hello, people. I'm Dr. Bert Rand.
Maddie: Are you from the government's disease control center?
Dr. Bert Rand: Yes, let's go with that. I can assure you that your children are in good hands, and will be transferred to the creepy, abandoned hospital on the edge of town.
Maddie: Under quarantine?
Dr. Bert Rand: Yes, let's go with that, too.
Jack: *Scowling* Oh, yeah? And just why should we trust you?
Dr. Bert Rand: Because I'm with the government and can audit your taxes if you don't.
Jack: We trust you…
Carrie: Well, I don't trust him.
Danny: Me neither. Sam and Jazz are in that hospital, and we've got to find out what's going on.
Tucker: *Goes to walk away after hearing that one word* Have a good time, you guys.
Carrie: *Puts her hands on her hips* Uh, Tucker, he said 'we,' which includes you and not just me.
Tucker: He also said 'hospital,' Care.
Danny: Pfft, we go invisible, we go ghost, we'll be in and out in no time. Just watch.
*Later that night, Danny and Carrie are flying outside of No(rth) Mercy Hospital where every student of Casper High is currently held captive for quarantine. However, as the two halfas flew near the barbed wire fence, suddenly, they were shocked, and were sent back down into the ground right by Tucker's feet as the dark-skinned teen waited, but figured that if they couldn't get in, then they could leave in his case scenario.*
Carrie: *Grunts* Awh, darn it! *Angrily stands up* How could we forget about the ghost shield!?
Tucker: Well, let's just come back during visiting hours, or perhaps, *Shrugs with a smile* not at all.
Danny: We can't do that Tucker. *Stands up* The fact that the hospital has a ghost shield around it makes it even more suspicious. If we can't get in as a ghost, *Reverts back to his human form* we'll have to get in like a couple of kids.
Carrie: Pfft, sure, *Reverts back to her ghost self* they always want to do it the easy way…
*The trio then walk towards the front of the building where two guards are standing in front of the entrance.*
Danny: Okay, Tucker, you just hang out here and wait for us. You got my mom's Fenton utility weapon just in case?
Tucker: *Pulls out a lipstick* It's a lipstick and an ecto-blaster. Because I'm worth it.
Carrie: Hey, think your mom could invent an ecto-blasting mascara?
Danny: She probably already has. *Looks at Tucker* Okay, then, *Jumps in his arms* Let's make this good…
Carrie: *Raises both of her eyebrows and scoffs* Uh, wait a minute, *Points* why do you get to be the one carried?
Danny: *Glances at her with a small glare* Care, come on, do we seriously need to have a discussion on who gets to be carried?
Carrie: Look, I think it should be me because, hello… my name is Carrie, and uh, ever notice the similarity?
Danny: *Annoyed* Look, we don't have time for this, just go through with the plan, would you?
Carrie: *Groans* Fine! *Wraps her arms around Tucker's neck, putting her weight against him as he struggles for a second* But next time a super evil ghost doctor has another ghostly quarantine and we pretend to be sick, I'm the one who's gonna be carried in!
*And so, having to manageably carry the two halfas (Carrie using her both feet to make it easier for Tucker's case) towards the front entrance of the hospital, both guards stop him.*
Ghost Guard: This area's restricted, no admittance.
Tucker: But my friends are sick, they need to be in the hospital. Them - not me.
*Soon, the door opens to reveal Dr. Bert Rand owning his useful creepy smile.*
Dr. Bert Rand: It's alright, guards, stand down. Has this young man and woman been exhibiting any ghost-like symptoms?
*Danny peaks one eye open before turning invisible, which leads Carrie to do the same thing just to have Tucker hand Danny to the doctor and grab onto Carrie's "weak" figure and hand her over next as both teens moan as if they were actually sick.*
Dr. Bert Rand: *Effortlessly helps them up* Oh, no! You poor, sick, human children, it's worse than I thought.
*He looks up and gives a thumbs up to a shadow who is standing right in front of the window before carrying both teens inside, having the door close behind him, and leaving Tucker outside with both guards.*
Tucker: *To the guards* So, what's the sizzle, fizzles?
*Now, inside the hospital, Danny and Carrie are being wheeled down a hall in wheelchairs by Dr. Bert Rand himself. They open their eyes a little to see that their classmates have apparently gotten ghost powers. They then go by Dash Baxter's room where the blonde jock is watching TV until he shoots an ecto-beam out of his eyes, which blows the TV up.*
Dash: *Weakly* Darn… right at the part where he says 'You complete me…'
*As Dr. Bert Rand continues wheeling the two "sick" teens down, an intangible tuba player walks past them.*
Dr. Bert Rand: Now, now, son, must try to control those powers.
*And so, he leaves Danny and Carrie out in the hall, then runs off down the hall, which finally gives both halfas to get up and look around.*
Carrie: *Shudders* Man, usually hospitals aren't this gloomy and dark…
Danny: He did say, 'creepy and abandoned…'
*In the hall, the duo finds an extremely pale-looking Kwan seated in a chair.*
Kwan: *Looks up at them in concern* Fenton, Mayth, you guys are in here, too?
*Suddenly, another Kwan appears next to him.*
Kwan 1 and Kwan 2: 4…
*Just then, two more Kwans appear.*
Kwan 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: 6…
*And finally, two more Kwans appear, which means that there are eight Kwans in total.*
All Eight Kwans: 8! *Happily* WHO DO WE APPRECIATE? *Huddles up* US! US! *Becomes scared and shouts* AHHH! RUN! *Runs away* RUN FOR OUR LIVES!
Danny: We've been trying to do that trick for months! That is so wrong!
Carrie: *Scoffs* No kidding! *Gestures her hand towards the Kwans surrounding the hallway* And the fact that he doesn't have a clue about what's going on makes it even worse!
*Soon, a familiar voice is heard and it belongs to Jazz Fenton herself where both Danny and Carrie walk up to a glass jar filled with glowing green ectoplasm seated on a hospital bed.*
Jazz: *Camputiated* Hello, nurse? I'm feeling a little light-headed… Literally!
Danny: *Looks at the jar* Jazz?
*Apparently, the only thing that's able to be visual within the jar is his sister's head.*
Carrie: *Traces her finger against the glass* Oh, man, that feels extremely claustrophobic if you ask me…
*Suddenly, a scream is heard from a room down the hallway.*
Carrie: Someone's in trouble! *Gets in position* C'mon, we've gotta help them!
Danny: I'm going… *Pauses and turns Jazz's head-jar around* ghost!
*Together, both he and Carrie go ghost and fly through the rooms to finally phase into Paulina Sanchez's own to find the Latina seated safely in her bed, reading a magazine.*
Danny: Somebody need some help? *Looks down at Paulina and shouts in desperation* Paulina! *Reverts himself calmly* Uh… it is Paulina, right?
Paulina: *Looks at Danny dreamily* You came for me! *Glances up at Carrie* Ohh, despite your dainty personality, you still showed up to make sure I'm okay!
Carrie: *Glaring at her* That was when I thought a person needed actual help; *Mutters to herself* though, maybe this one would need it from their large infuriating ego…
*Just then, the curtains on the other side of the room reveal an irritated Sam Manson.*
Sam: They didn't come for you, they came for me!
Danny: Uh, hi, Miss… *Floats down towards Sam's side of the room* Can you excuse me and my partner here for one minute?
Carrie: *Flies towards Sam, and pulls curtain back* Sam, are you okay? We heard a scream.
Sam: Yeah, that was me. You guys scream too if you were stuck in a sleepover with her. *Points to Paulina's side of the room*
Danny: Actually, I kinda doubt that.
Carrie: Well, for me, I definitely would.
Paulina: Yoohoo, Ghost Boy. Are you and your non-irrelevant partner done talking to the unpopular girl yet?
Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow and puts a hand on her hip offensively* Excuse me?
*However, as Paulina had said this, both halfas didn't realize that Sam could suddenly float off the ground.*
Danny: *Gets Sam and puts her on the ground* Uh, be right there… *To Carrie* Keep an eye on her.
Carrie: *Scoffs and crosses her arms* Like I wanna talk to that prissy, no-good for nothing over there.
*And so, when Danny flies back to Paulina, Sam floats up to the ceiling, which makes Carrie smirk a little before joining her.*
Carrie: How's the weather up there, Manson?
*The only response Sam gave to her best friend was a growl in annoyance whereas, on the other side of the room, Paulina was breathing out ghost senses.*
Paulina: *Gasps as another one is set off and cringes a bit* Ooh… what is this?
Danny: It's called a ghost sense. *Gasps as he goes off for demonstration* See, it lets you know a ghost is near.
Paulina: *Flirtatiously* Like you…
Carrie: *Peaks from the top of the curtains, feeling a bit jealous* And me…
Danny: That bug bite gave you ghost powers. Didn't anybody explain anything to you?
Paulina: No, they just brought me in here, took a few tests, *Points to Sam who is still on the ceiling* and stuck me in the same room as Suzy-Nobody over there.
Sam: For the record, I can hear everything you're saying.
Danny: *To Paulina* Hold that thought…
*He then flies up to Sam and puts her in bed, then grabs her blankets and starts tying them over her so she won't float away while Carrie keeps her in place.*
Sam: As much as I hate to say it, she's right about one thing: I don't know what they're doing at this hospital, nobody's talking to us, nobody's helping us.
*Soon, Dr. Bert Rand comes into the room with a tank of sleeping gas and starts letting the gas out, which causes Paulina to immediately fall asleep.*
Dr. Bert Rand: Oh, poor little teen, you're tired aren't you?
*When he moves toward Sam's side of the room, the gas quickly begins to affect her.*
Sam: *Yawns* So… sleepy… *Falls asleep*
Danny: Carrie? Sam? Paulina? *Feels sleepy* Getting tired…
Carrie: *Begins to feel sleepy* Oh… *Falls against Sam's bed and transform back into her human self* is it nap time already? *Dozes off*
Danny: *Tiredly looks at Carrie and himself* Gas is affecting us?
*He turns around just as "Dr. Bert Rand'' then pulls the curtain back to find both halves within the room; one having to be passed out while the other is still awake.*
Dr. Bert Rand: Of course, child, that's the point. You and your little partner didn't think this was an actual hospital, did you?
*The moment Danny turns, he suddenly finds the "doctor" has reverted back into Penelope Spectra's assistant dwarf, Bertrand.*
Danny: Your Penelope Spectra's assistant, Bertrand. *Facepalms as he realizes the one detail he missed* 'Bert-Rand - Bertrand...' How did I miss that? *Falls to the ground*
Bertrand: *Slightly bends in front of him* Why don't you mull that over during your last 2 seconds of consciousness? *Glances over at the sleeping Carrie* I would've liked to see your friend's reaction, but the poor thing must've been exhausted from jealousy…
Danny: Tucker's right, hospitals stink…
*Finally, Danny goes unconscious as the gas takes over him.*
*Now, finding himself slowly starting to regain consciousness, all Danny (who had reverted to his human self) could gather was the panicking sound of his partner's voice.*
Carrie: Danny! Come on! You've gotta wake up!
Danny: *Weakley opens his eyes to find Carrie lying right beside him on a stretcher* Care…? Uh, ah… where am I?
*Just then, the male halfa instantly opens his eyes and gasps as he realizes that both he and Carrie were not only placed in an old, abandoned operating room but were strapped on a stretcher with ecto-restraints.*
Carrie: Danny, what's going on!? The last thing I remember was going to sleep!
Danny: Care, listen, isn't an actual hospital; it's all a trick made by Bertrand!
Carrie: Bertrand? What's he got to do with this? The man is back in the Ghost Zone with that Spectra freak.
Danny: Somehow he got out, he was the doctor!
Carrie: He was Dr. Bert Rand? *Eyes widen a bit and realizes who her partner is referring to and groans* I should've known! The dude could've picked a better medical name…
Danny: *Struggles to break free* There's gotta be a way out of here…
Bertrand: Save it, kid! Those restraints are ghost proof, you and Miss Half-a Ghost are in for the duration.
Carrie: Uh, could somebody please tell me what's happening here!?
*Suddenly, bright lights are turned on the two teens and they look up to see Spectra in her shadowy form.*
Spectra: Allow me, you two know how we therapists love to talk it all out.
Danny and Carrie: Spectra?
*Meanwhile, as all of this was going down inside the No(rth) Mercy Hospital, Tucker had been waiting patiently outside of it, having to hide behind a brush and wondering when his two best friends would return with the other person of their group, plus a sister.*
Tucker: Spooky hospital, ghosts guarding the joint, still, no sign that Danny and Carrie are in any real danger yet...
*Just when he mentions the names of the two halfas' names, Danny's voice is heard, loudly from a distance.*
Danny: LET US GO!
Tucker: Still, *Smiles with his eyes closed, thinking it isn't serious* technically not a cry for help.
Carrie: HEEELPP!
Tucker: Well, *Shrugs* not a cry for me.
Danny and Carrie: *In union* TUCKERR!
Tucker: *Slumps his shoulders in disappointment* Aw, dang…
*And so, the techno-geek heads towards the front entrance of the hospital where the guards stand until they watch as Tucker brings out his cologne; "Foley by Tucker Foley" and begins spraying it on himself which catches the guards' nostrils and soon, they start coughing heinously from the scent.*
Tucker: *Unfazed* Oh, please, you guys are ghosts. Do you have any idea what you smell like?
*He then shoots the guards with an ecto-beam from the Fenton lipstick which sends him back as well.*
Tucker: *Sits up and looks at the lipstick* Don't worry, guys, *Stands up and holds his cologne in the air* the cavalries are coming! Whether they want to or not…
*Now, Tucker finds himself strolling down the hallway, wearing a mask and apron, feeling uncertain about this until his eyes are met with an intangible teenager floating down in front of him, which results in him letting out a yelp as the teen phases into the ground. Soon, Sam's voice is heard.*
Sam: Tucker, is that you?
Tucker: Sam, *Looks around for her* is that you? Where are you?
Sam: Up here.
Tucker: *Looks up to find her on the ceiling* Sam? Ha, and you and Carrie call me an airhead…
Sam: You know you should really stop and consider all the vile things I could do to you from up here. And be lucky that Carrie isn't here either, 'cause boy, imagine all the other vile things she could do as a ghost.
Tucker: *Steps off to the side* Well, that's gonna be a problem for Carrie, because I think she and Danny are really in trouble, have you seen them?
Sam: A while ago, but I fell asleep, and when I woke up they were gone. There's something evil happening here…
Tucker: It's a hospital, Sam. There's always something evil happening here. We have to find Danny and Carrie.
Sam: Unfortunately, I think 'we' means 'you.' I'm pretty useless and there are cameras and guards everywhere.
Tucker: Not in there. *Points to an air vent* Push that vent open.
*So, Sam pulls the vent out as Tucker grabs an IV bag throws them around her feet, and ties her to the IV holder so she doesn't float away before grabbing a chair and putting it in front of the vent.*
Tucker: If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just… float there, okay?
*Sam says nothing and rolls her eyes with her arms crossed as she finds herself completely useless at this point.*
*Soon, in the operation room, Danny and Carrie are now faced with Spectra, unfortunately, due to them being strapped down in stretchers with ecto-restrains, it intends for them not to break free and jump in to fight her.*
Danny: *Scowling* What do you want?
Spectra: What everybody wants, Danny… And for me, that means being beautiful!
Carrie: Uhh, newsflash: you'll have to have a body for that, but look what happened last time, Miss Wispy; you were peeled…
Spectra: *Pushes her and Danny towards a cabinet* Which is why I'm assembling this…
*When the wisp woman opens the cabinet, both halfas are looking at a newly designed body.*
Spectra: A brand new me, fashioned by only the best teen genetics...
Danny: So, the ghost bugs, the virus?
Spectra: All part of my plan, I need to get the children away from the adults all in one place. *Hits a button that opens the DNA extracting machine* So, I could siphon away the best qualities of each of them, Jazz's brains, Dash's muscles, Paulina's nearly flawless skin…
Danny: *Raises an eyebrow* Nearly flawless?
Carrie: Okay, as much as I dislike the girl, her skin isn't nearly flawless if you ask me.
Spectra: *Unfazed* She has a mole. Isn't it obvious?
*After hearing this information, Danny blinks in disbelief as Carrie lets out a loud scoff.*
Carrie: Ha! See underneath all that makeup, I knew she was hiding something!
Spectra: And I had to treat them all with my little ghost virus to get them all in one place.
Danny: And the ghost powers?
Spectra: A side effect. At some point the powers will be too much and they'll all burn out, into little withered husks… Won't that make a great class photo?
*Meanwhile, Tucker is now crawling inside the air vent with his eyes closed, repeating his happy words.*
Tucker: Okay, I'm not in a spooky air vent in a hospital… I'm in an air vent in a totally not spooky modeling agency…
*Back in the operating room.*
Carrie: Okay, uh, not to be a wet blanket here, but- pfft, oh who am I kidding, when it comes to ghosts like you, I'll happily be one; umm… wouldn't you need a sample of DNA?
Spectra: Oh, I'm so glad you asked that, because this plan had involved you from the start, Caroline.
Carrie: *Raises one eyebrow in confusion* Huh?
Spectra: You see, part of me wanted to use Danny's DNA to complete my work, but seeing as you're a female and also part ghost, *Goes behind the stretcher and starts pushing her towards the machine* with your DNA, it'll make me even more powerful!
Carrie: *Panicking* What!?
Danny: Wait! I know I don't qualify as a girl, but leave Carrie alone, and use my DNA instead!
Spectra: Awww, it's adorable watching you wanting to take her place as a true partner. *Scolds him* It disgusts me… *Smirks evilly* But no worries, she won't feel a thing!
*As Spectra begins to slowly push Carrie closer towards the entrance of the machine, she notices Danny holding something in his hand, and as much as she doesn't want any physical contact with it, this is a life-changing moment that could give Spectra much power.*
Carrie: *Holds her hand out and acts as if she were (a bit) scared* Danny…
Danny: *Grabs her hand and holds it as if he had to comfort her while slipping the item in it* Just hang in there, you'll be fine, Care… *Looks up at Spectra with a scowl* You won't get away with this!
Spectra: Oh, on the contrary, I already am, *Leans in forward above Carrie's head* because you, Carrie, you're the grand prize. *Flies over to her body in the cabinet* I need your genes to lock this perfect body together and stabilize it so my ghost form never burns out and never grows old. *Flies in front of her and points* How helpful are you, sweetie?
*Once that's happily reminded, Spectra turns the stretcher that Carrie laid in around and places the female halfa into the DNA extracting machine. Soon, Carrie lifts her head up and manages to glance over at Danny before the door closes shut, leaving her surrounded by green lighting.*
Carrie: *Exhales an anxious breath* Okay, okay… don't look at it, don't look at it… So, if she's so hot on getting DNA, then maybe I can provide a little substitute that reduces from another… *Slightly gags* You owe me for this, Fenton!
*And just when the vacuum hovers over her, Carrie reaches for the handkerchief Danny had quickly given to her where it was inches away from her hand. Once the blue-haired teen grabs hold of the tissue, she pushes it towards the hose, which travels into the cabinet that holds Spectra's body as it steams with a ding, meaning it has been accomplished.*
Spectra: *Opens the door and wheels Carrie out of the machine and places her beside Danny while smiling with satisfaction* Excellent.
Danny: *Happily watching this from the back* Excellent! *Realizes what he repeated and retaliates his words* I mean, you fiend!
Carrie: *Dramatically* Oh, nooo… she's got some of my DNA, whatever shall I do?
*Looking at Danny beside her, Carrie winks just as Spectra opens the cabinets; her body glows a bright light, then phases into it. Once she is parted with her newly human body, she flexes it with pride, making both teens "shocked" at this matter before watching her leave while laughing maniacally. Soon, the air vent from the ceiling is suddenly broken through and Tucker jumps down from it.*
Tucker: *Smiling with glee* Hello, models! *Realizes he's in the room with his best friends* I mean, Danny, Carrie, *Walks over to them* you guys are okay!
Danny: *Smiles* Tucker! you broke into the hospital! *Becomes genuinely shocked* Wait, you broke into a hospital?
Carrie: Who'd thought we'd ever see you break into a hospital! *Fakes a pout* You really do have a soft spot when it comes to us, Foley.
Tucker: *Scowls at them* Please stop saying 'hospital,' because I will run and leave you two here to perish.
*Without saying another word, Tucker uses the lipstick and shoots ecto-beams at Danny's restraints first, then does Carrie second. Once they are free, both halfas jump off the stretcher and go ghost.*
Tucker: *Blows smoke coming from the tip of the lipstick* Plasma Peach. It's great for kissing this place goodbye!
*The moment he says this, Danny grabs Tucker, turns them intangible with Carrie following behind them, and faints through the wall, out of the operating room.*
*Now, outside of the hallway, Bertrand is currently seated with Dash as both men are watching a woman apparently "belting" out high notes from a song written by Bette Midler.*
Dash: *Sighs in admiration* Ahh… man, when she sings 'Wind Beneath My Wing,' I just go to pieces…
*However, that moment comes to an end when Danny's voice breaks as he and Carrie are floating in the room.*
Danny: What's up, Doc?
Carrie: *Gives a fake polite wave* Hi, there.
Bertrand: *Stands up, looking at them sternly* You two!
*Soon, Danny shoots an ecto-beam at Bertrand, which sends him flying into a wall. And with one hit of the male halfa's ghost ray, Bertrand becomes very angry and without a care, the dwarf suddenly (practically menacingly) shapeshifts into a big, scary, green, Frankenstein-lookalike monster. Both teens were shocked at this outcome where once Dash runs away in fright, Bertrand uses his powers and creates a giant scalpel.*
Carrie: Gee, all that from a simple ghost blast? And I thought I had the worst anger issues…
Tucker: Don't move! I mean it, this thing both moisturizes and repairs damage from the wind and sun.
*However, when Bertrand knocks the lipstick out of his hands, it rolls across the floor towards Paulina Sanchez who catches interest in it as she holds it up to her lips to try it on.*
Danny: *Reaches a hand out toward her* Paulina-! I mean, whatever your name is, no!
*He then flies to Paulina and pushes her down before the lipstick suddenly shoots out an ecto-beam.*
Danny and Paulina: *Gazes dreamily into each other's eyes* Hi…
*Watching from up the ceiling, Sam notices Carrie's state being infatuated with jealousy as she looks to see what's happening beneath her, so she figures to help her best friend out by "accidentally" having her boot fall off her feet, and land on top of Danny's head. He grunts at the slightly heavy weight of Sam's boot before glaring at the goth teen who hangs around the ceiling with an innocent smile.*
Sam: Sorry…
*Carrie couldn't help but smile at this moment until Tucker's scream was heard where both she and Danny looked to find the dark-skinned teen pinned to the ground by Bertrand the monster's hand while holding the large scalp in the other.*
Bertrand: Okay, now, this is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me…
*Suddenly, the large scalp in his hand turns into an injection.*
Tucker: How about neither of us get hurt, *Closes his eyes for impact* why isn't that an option?!
*Luckily, Danny and Carrie fly in and slam into Bertrand, sending him back against a wall, and he then goes back to his normal, dwarf ghost form.*
Danny: *Floats in front of him* Dude, your bedside manners reeks. *Reaches into his back pocket* I think it's time we sent you back to nursing school!
*Reaching into his pocket, Danny pulls out the Fenton Thermos and finally captures the shape-shifting ghost within a split second. Once Bertrand is over and done with, Danny lands back on the ground with Tucker while Carrie helps Sam off the ceiling to join them, a voice is heard, and unfortunately, this battle isn't over just yet…*
Spectra: Very Impressive, Danny, but a bit late I'm afraid.
Tucker: *Smiles at the woman's sight* I am in a modeling agency!
Carrie: *Punches his arm* Dude, focus!
Spectra: It's nice, right, smart, beautiful, deadly...
*She holds her hands out as they glow purple which suddenly forms into two giant ectoplasmic versions, then each hand grabs hold of both Danny and Carrie. Tucker reaches forward to grab the lipstick and shoots an ecto-beam at her which she easily dodges as the purple ectoplasmic hands release them. Carrie gets up and body slams her, allowing the redhead to hit against the table that has Jazz trapped inside the glass jar, and land on her lap.*
Jazz: *From inside the jar* I can't feel my toes!
Spectra: *Stands up and prepares to throw the jar* Let's see if you can feel this!
*She throws Jazz's glass head, which causes the auburn-haired teen to scream as she isn't infatuated by this moment where she could become a glowing puddle if she were to ever crash land on the ground.*
Danny: *Reaches his hand out in panic* NOOO!
*Luckily, one of the Kwans (which happens to be the actual Kwan) had thankfully saved Jazz, catching her in his arms.*
Kwan: I got it! *Prepares to throw it* Go long, other Kwans!
*Ready to toss the glass jar that held Jazz, Danny turns intangible and runs through the Kwans, but when he makes it to the Kwan holding his sister, the jock throws it before he gets there. Jazz screams in impact as the Kwans had his glass jar-head bouncing off their hands until Tucker rushes in and catches her himself.*
Tucker: *Happily holding onto the jar* I got her - it - whatever!
Jazz: Your fly is open…
Carrie: *To all right Kwans* Guys, do me a favor: *Floats in front of them in irritation* practice how to catch better!
The Eight Kwans: *Points a finger at each other* HE'S THE ONE WHO'S BAD AT IT! *Argues* AM NOT!
*Danny goes after Spectra until she uses a purple ghost stinger on him, he yells out in pain and falls to the ground, which allows Spectra to place her green heel against his chest. Carrie flies in from above with a shout just to get shocked and fall to the ground next whereas soon, the ghost begins to glow with ectoplasmic energy.*
Spectra: Ahh… there we go, *Looks down at Carrie* your DNA is finally kicking in. Which means I should be all-powerful in 3, 2, 1…
*But what Spectra wasn't expecting at all is instead of having Carrie Mayth's DNA running through her veins, the woman has become obese due to having Jack Fenton's DNA now coursing through her veins.*
Spectra: What? What happened? *Holds her head* Why do I suddenly feel like blathering on about ghosts? And why do I feel like eating fudge? Lots and Lots of fudge...
Carrie: *Smiles with pride as she sits up* You wanted DNA. Unfortunately, you got it from the wrong person, Spectra.
Danny: *Smugs* And it's all courtesy of my dad's nose…
*And speaking of the nose, Spectra soon turns into the snot that was attached to the handkerchief; she squeals in distress this also causes Carrie to cringe in disgust.*
Danny: There's a 'you blewit' pun here somewhere, *Stands up* but I'd rather not.
Carrie: Then don't… *Groans and stands up* Bleh, it's disgusting just looking at it.
*Soon, they were tackled back into the ground with Spectra having to jump on top of them and pin them down.*
Spectra: You're doomed, kids, and do you two know what, so are your friends… Now that those bugs have dug into them, there's nothing that can get them out.
Tucker: That's what she thinks…
*He runs away as an idea spikes within his brain.*
Danny: Will you please, *Yells* GET OFF ME!?
Carrie: *Yells in distress* AND ME!
*Just when Danny aggravatedly goes to punch Spectra's nose, his hand instead goes in and is covered in snot, which makes Carrie gag and hold in a barf.*
Danny: You know, if my life wasn't at stake, I would hurl right now…
Carrie: *Squeals* Speaking of hurl…
*Finding herself not being able to hold in it any longer, Carrie rushes towards the nearest trash and throws up, leaving Danny to kick Spectra up to where she sticks to the ceiling.*
Spectra: Okay, that's it. Let's boogie!
Danny: See, that's the kind of pun I was avoiding with the whole 'blew it' comment.
*As the fight went down, Tucker is now back, crawling inside the air vent where he is right beside the AC Control Unit.*
Tucker: *Smirks* Whoever said odor isn't everything, *Reaches into his bag and pulls out the cologne* never met Tucker Foley. *Holds the can in front of the vent* Here it goes!
*While the techno-geek takes care of the main solution, Danny and a slightly better Carrie go flying at Spectra in different directions just for the snot-skinned woman to throw a punch, which sends them flying back into a basket filled with blankets; Danny has to land first, leaving Carrie landing on top of him.*
Spectra: *Hovers over them* Any last words?
*Suddenly, the smell of Foley by Tucker Foley comes streaming right out of the air vent above her, and soon, this scent catches all three ghosts' nostrils.*
Danny: Uh, yeah… do you smell gym shorts and ginger snaps?
Spectra: Actually, I smell tennis shoes and fudge nutters, and surprisingly snickerdoodles.
Carrie: *Glances down at Danny* See, Danny, even the evil ghost knows what a snickerdoodle smells like!
Danny: *Scolds her* Remind me to buy you a box after this.
Spectra: *Groans in disgust* Ugh, what is that ghastly odor?!
*So, with the stench of Tucker's cologne streaming through every air vent/hallway of the hospital, it causes the ghost bug to start leaving the students as they instantly become better; which means Spectra's plan has failed.*
Spectra: *Watching the long swarm fly away* What? How is this possible?
*Now, getting up from their spot, Danny goes behind Spectra and sends a hardcore punch where she splatters all over the walls, leaving Carrie to catch the bugs and the remains of Spectra in the Fenton thermos. Once that's done, both teens revert to their human forms just to have Tucker run towards them.*
Danny: Way to come threw in the clutch, Tuck.
Carrie: Mmhm, we owe you one, Foley.
Tucker: Yeah. *Puts his hands on his hips in pride* How do you two like that? *Points to himself* My first trip to the hospital and I'm the only one who didn't get hurt.
*However, the techno-geek had unfortunately jinxed this when Sam suddenly fell from the ceiling and landed on top of Tucker who let out an "Ow!"*
Sam: Can I get my boot back now?
*The next day, Danny, Sam, Carrie, and Danny's parents stood around Tucker as the boy lay in a hospital bed, wearing a cast around his leg and a sling to keep it levitated.*
Jack: Tucker just wanted to thank you for helping to get our Jazz out of that awful hospital. Although … *Starts to laugh a bit with Maddie* I have to agree with the authorities that the ghost plot thing seems pretty far-fetched, huh, baby?
Maddie: *Laughing* Yeahh… everybody knows humans can't have ghost powers.
*When saying this, both Danny and Carrie give each other a smile seeing as the Fentons have got to be the most clueless ghost hunters to not realize that two humans that are always around them do have ghost powers.*
Maddie: *Starts walking away with Jack* Bye, Danny.
Sam: I'm so sorry about your leg.
Tucker: I told you hospitals reek…
Danny: Oh, come on, Tuck, we beat Spectra, and you should be fine in 8-10 weeks, it could be worse.
Nurse: *Wheels in an elderly man* Here's your new roommate, Mister Foley.
Elderly Man: Hey, there, my name's Carl… *To the nurse* No need to put me in bed, sweetie, just wheel me up to the whippersnapper so I can spend the next 2 weeks jabbering on about what it was like when I was his age.
Carrie: And look at that, now it's worse…
Sam: *Looks at Carrie's wristwatch* Wow, look at the time!
*And so, all three friends happily wave Tucker goodbye before making their way out of the room.*
Tucker: What? Wait!
Carl: *Points to the TV on the other side of the room* You see that television, we didn't have televisions, we had radios…
*As the man begins his storytelling, Danny, Carrie, and Sam continue waving from outside of the room and start rushing down the hallways of the hospital.*
Tucker: *Immediately becomes annoyed* Oh, come on…
Carl: And that clicker, we didn't have clickers, we had to use a device called a knob… Have you tried to climb out the window, we didn't window in my days…
*While Carl spoke, the trio were finally outside of the hospital just to hear Tucker's voice shout loudly from a distance.*
Tucker: Guys!
Danny: *Looks back at Carrie with a smile* Still technically not a cry for help…
Tucker: HEELP!
