Danny Phantom and Ember Mclain Heroes of ..
Danny walked downstairs to the basement with a red book in hand.
"Dad, can I ask you a question?" Danny says as his father is working on a Specter Speeder.
"About the Specter Speeder? Sure." Jack Fenton said wrapping his arm around Danny. Shoving his son into the cockpit of the Specter Speeder, as Danny grunts as he slams his hands on the other side to stop his momentum, landing in a seat. Jack sits down next to him. "This little baby has state of the art spirit-plane exploration technology and Its got a Super size cup holder. " Showing his son the features on the dashboard.
"Jack dear." Maddie says coming down the stairs into the lab as Jack exits the speeder. "Its getting awfully late Is there something that you might've forgotten today?"Maddie asks as her husband looks clueless.
"uh.."Jack says thinking about to day as his eyes shift, and his lip pushes up.
"Something significant? That would have to do with today's date of Januray ninth" Maddie says looking over at a ignited lamp and a toolbox on it, with a calendar on the wall. It glares "January", and there is a photograph surrounded by arrows that point to it, with pink text that reads "Happy Anniversary".
"Ninth, ninth,ninth." Jack Fenton said trying to Remember what was important about the ninth of January. "Nope, still not catching your drift."
"Our anniversary, dear? Oh well, I guess it just slipped your mind for the 18th year in a row!" Maddie screams slamming her fist on the Specter speeder as it goes from reverse to drive. Causing the specter speeder to go forward into the ghost zone.
"Whoaaaaaaaaaaa." Danny says as the specter speeder goes throughout the ghost zone. Running into a giant white ghost.
"Trespassing in an unauthorized vehicle. That's against the rules." the white Ghost said pointing his finger at Danny.
"Uh, sorry. I-I-I didn't know, I'm from... out of town." Danny says weakly as he starts to shake.
"Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it, punk. I see your face around here again you and I are going to have a problem." The White Ghost says pointing his finger at the Specter Speeder.
"Yes Sir." Danny says sauteing the White Ghost and smiling weakly. Putting the Specter Speeder in reverse, Danny returns to the Lab. While her mother is still arguing with his father.
"Now get this through your head, Jack Fenton, there are somethings more important than hunting ghosts!" Maddie screams at Jack as she slams her fist on the Specter Speeder before walking away.
"I know, I know I'm just as freaked out by your mother's reaction as you are." Jack Fenton says as his son walks out of the Specter Speeder Panting loudly. Maddie walks out of the Fenton work as a yellow taxi drives up and honks. Maddie with her hood down, comes from the doorway, dragging a rolling luggage bag as Jack is sliding on the pavement, hanging onto the bag.
"Maddie, please! Don't go! I just have a little more work to do on the Specter Speeder—." Jack says he gets dragged on the across the sidewalk. "and then I'm done!" As Maddie, puts the bags in the cab as Jack lets go.
"Jack, we've discussed this remember, the divorce." Maddie says as she rolls down the window looking at her husband."There's a casserole in the freezer right next to the ectoplasmic residue samples!" as the cab starts to drive off while Jack goes after it as he yells.
"Wait, wait how do I know which is which."
Danny walks out of the following his father.
"Divorce? What?!" Danny exclaims as his sister walks past him holding her pursue.
"Hear what? Mom yelling at Dad?" Relax, she'll get over it." Jazz said confidently.
"But I've never heard her so mad." Danny said worryingly.
"Of course she's mad, and if I'm right, Dad will once again cluelessly do nothing to apologize to her." Jazz said as their father walks up to them.
"That's where you're wrong Jasmine. I have been a little preoccupied with ghosts lately. So I'm traveling to your Aunt Alicia's in Spittoon, Arkansas to apologize, and give your mother the greatest anniversary gift ever!"" Jack says walking inside the house and getting his belongs as he drives up in the Fenton RV towards their Aunt Alicia's.
"Jazz? Are Mom and Dad gonna split up?" Danny asks his sister as she stands there perplexed.
"I was...Wrong!" Jazz said as she started to panic.
"Jazz?" Danny asked as he started to poke his sister in the back.
"Wait... He's going to Arkansas... To apologize? I WAS WRONG!" Jazz says pulling on her hair as she runs back inside the house, goes to her room to grab all of the information on her father, starts up the some coffee after she place it all on the kitchen table.
"I don't understand."Jazz said shaking with untidy hair and a small white cup in her hand. " Every piece of evidence I have indicates that Dad would never be self-aware enough to realize he made a mistake! If I'm wrong about this, what else could I have been wrong about?" as she starts to go a little crazy while Danny vacuum's the walls.
"Danny keep it down, would ya!"Jazz says running out towards the living room where Danny is vacuuming.
" Hey, I'm trying to make this place spotless so mom will have a clean house to come home to!" Danny Phantom yells over the vacuum.
"Yeah, well I need to concentrate!" Jazz counters looking over at him.
"Jazz, Danny are you guys home?" Yushi asks knocking on the front door.
"Does Yushi know my secret?" Danny asks Jazz as she shakes her head no. Motioning for her borther to turn back into his human self Jazz opens the front door.
"Danny we'll be, out bye." Jazz calls walking out the door and shutting it behind her. "Ok I need to talk to Bruce." Jazz said as Yushi looks at her.
"May, I ask why?" Yushi asks Jazz as she looks at him with killer intent.
"Or May's grandpa just someone please, I don't what's real anymore." Jazz says trying not to break down in front of Yushi, as the realization of her parents might actually separate and divorce hits her hard.
"Alright, Jazz no need for tears."Yushi says as the two teleport through the black portal, back Yushi's world. Meanwhile Danny changes back into ghost form and phases through the floor toward the basement.
"Oh my gosh, this place is a mess, If Mom comes back and sees the lab like this she'll be even *angrier* at Dad." Danny said, sighing as he zaps a plate and a couple of soda cans, landing them in the trash. smiling Danny starts to zap as everything starts to quickly get cleaned up as bags and cups with a straws get in it into a cylindrical blue trash bins. While Danny zaps in many directions. A box, a wrench, a shopping bag and some machinery flies by, then a gas mask, papers, a tool box, a green cube that looks like a toaster and a flashlight fly past. As Danny finishes zapping he accidentally fires a present into the ghost zone while the tag float to the floor.
"Let this gift be the bridge to repair our anniversary -Jack!"Danny said as he picked up the tag and reading it.
Meanwhile Maddie is sitting on a log watching her sister chop some wood.
"I don't know, Alicia. Jack just seems to not care like he use to." Maddie laments to her sister as Alicia sticks her axe into the stump with the handle facing upwards and turns her face towards Maddie.
"Maddie even though I've been out here for nearly a decade by myself and am incredibly happy, if there's one thing I know about your marriage with Jack its this, don't leave him period, He's a good man." Alicia said placing a comforting hand on her sister. meanwhile Jack drove the Fenton RV through the forests of the untied states as day started to hit as a sign stated welcome to Arkansas.
Later that night Jack crashes the RV as it flings him towards his sister in-law's cabin as he screams.
"Jack?" Maddie said as she and her sister came out of the cabin to see who was screaming.
"I'll go get the anti-septic"Alicia said going back inside her cabin smiling, while Maddie tended to her husband.
The next day, Danny, Amber, Sam, tucker and Desiree walked in the halls of Caspar High getting ready to head home.
"You should have seen 'em fight, they never fight, well they fight ghost but that's different." Danny says worryingly as his friends see Jazz arguing with Mr. Lancer as the new school consular Ms. Spectra breaks up the argument by taking Jazz into her office.
"Baby pop relax, no one ever gets divorce over not getting a gift, but now that you mention it how close to breaking up are they I'd never seen Jazz act like this." Amber says putting her hand into Danny's.
"They're on the brink." Danny answers his girlfriend.
"Danny relax its not like she actually *said* the word, right. if she did then you have the right to worry." Tucker said trying to help his best friend.
"Oh my gosh she DID, She said the word." Danny said starting to freak out.
"Tucker! Say something to calm him down!" Sam said trying to clam down her best friend.
"Um well did your mom say it twice." Tucker offered.
"That's it I'm going into the ghost zone and getting that present back." Danny said with determination.
meanwhile in Spittoon, Alicia is sitting on her rocking chair sharping a stick looking at her brother-in Law, as he drinks some lemonade.
"Jack your a good man, an idiot at times, but then again so is my sister, what I want to know is why you are sitting on your butt here instead of trying to be a better husband by going into my cabin and apologizing to my sister." Alicia said in irritated tone.
"You're right Alicia." Jack said getting up as his stomach gurgles. "Hold that thought." as Jack looks around for a restroom as he runs towards the woods.
"There's no outhouse either." Alicia yelled as Jack made it to the woods. "And don't go on the RHUBARB Jack Fenton."
Back with Danny.
"I so don't want to do this." Danny said placing on the headset .As he walks towards the Fenton Portal.
"That's why I am going with you ghost boy." Desiree said giving him a reassuring smile. As Danny looked back as his girlfriend Ember gave him a look of I can't.
"Danny, you know I would go with you but My dad wants me to make sure Morgan feels accepted in our group for some reason and besides we have to make sure that she and Yushi don't inform the wrong people about us." Ember said giving him a kiss on the cheek as she floats upstairs.
"You get in, get the present get out, you'll be fine." Sam said reassuringly.
"Beside with this mini web cam, I'll be with you two ever step of the way ." Tucker says showing Desiree and Danny on his PDA. "But first." Sounds from space invaders come from his PDA.
"You'll monitor the webcam." Danny asks Sam.
"I'll monitor the webcam." Sam said as Danny and Desiree walked towards the Fenton portal.
"WOW, This place is amazing." Sam says over the speakers as Desiree and Danny move forward.
"No it's not and creepy and it goes on forever." Danny replies to Sam.
"Danny." Desiree calls to as he is about open up a door into the ghost zone. "Every one of these doors goes into another ghost's lair." "I know of someone who may help, Tucker says he's friends with you but you'll have to wish for him to appear."
"Wait can't I just wish for my present to appear into my hand?" Danny asks as Desiree shakes her head no.
"Real word items if in the ghost zone, can't be obtain through a wish, same with Ghostly items on the human plane." Desiree said.
"ok then, I wish Pointdexter to appear." Danny say as Pointdexter appeared in front of him and Desiree.
"Howdy guys, what's shake'n?" Pointdexter greets Danny and Desiree.
"Pointdexter, have you by chance seen present about yea big?" Danny asked showing Pointdexter the size of the present.
"Can't say that I have Danny, you might try Box Ghost's lair it's right over there." Poindexter says pointing to the Box Ghost's lair. "Can I go back now my mom is making meatloaf." as Desiree nods her head as she snaps his figures sending him back.
Desiree and Danny follow poindexter's directions as the ghosts stop in front of Box's Ghost's lair Danny halts to a stop.
"Sam you'll still there?" Danny asks Sam.
Sam tells Danny that she's still getting their visuals as Jazz walks downstairs to the basement while Tucker is geeking out about the Specter Speeder.
"I can't believe Danny and Desiree didn't want to take the Specter thing Rocks!" Tucker said pressing some buttons on the dashboard.
"They can cover more ground on their own." Sam says to Tucker noticing Jazz. "You'll doing ok Jazz?"
"Better actually, thanks for asking, so where's Danny and Desiree?" Jazz says getting into the cockpit with Tucker."Hey a cupholder." pressing a button as the cupholder comes out.
"Hey what's this thing do." Tucker said pressing a button with a green ghost on it.
"Real world items detected." A computer voice says as Sam gets into the backseat of the specter Speeder as the three teens look at one another.
"Cool a scanner." Tucker exclaims.
"Real world items." Sam says as Tucker gets on the speaker.
"Desiree, Danny I think we can guild you guys to the present." Tucker says as Danny and Desiree stop their pursuit towards The Box Ghost's lair.
"Really?" Danny said to Sam over the speaker.
"Yeah you're actually going in the right direction, go through that door and you should see it." Sam replied over the speaker as Danny and Desiree went through The Box Ghost's door.
"So this is where all that stuff ends up." Danny said looking around as both he and Desiree see box, a toaster, briefcase, corded phone on hook, pencil, thermos, envelope, teddy bear, a bottle, a shirt, a single sock, another thermos, a basketball, a book, a suitcase, another envelope, lunchbox, another box, football, trumpet, a watch, a pen, a glass of liquid, a TV, another watch, another glass, another basketball, a washing machine, a lamp, a bottle of sports drink, and another box floating in mid air.
"Yes, It is I the Box Ghost Where do you think we go when you release us from your round, cylindrical trap?" The Box Ghost asks as Danny looks annoyed.
"You mean the Fenton Thermos? Look I'm kinda looking for something important I don't have time for your box puns." Danny says looking for his present as the sound of sirens come from the distance towards them.
"Danny, get down " Desiree said as laser blasts come towards them while Desiree tackles him out of the way as a laser blast hits him.
"Possession of unauthorized recording equipment. And real world items Those are against the rules." The Ghost Danny met earlier said as he put Danny, Desiree and The Box Ghost in ecto-Hand cuffs.
"Wait this is all just a big misunderstanding." Danny said as the ghost in white looked at him as Danny started to shake.
"Take them away."The White Ghost said take off the headset from Danny and showing them Jack anniversary gift to his wife.
Meanwhile Sam, tucker and Jazz were trying to figure out what happened to the signal.
"Desiree,Danny Talk to me." Tucker said as he looked at Sam and Jazz.
"Buckle up guys."Jazz says as Sam gets in the Specter Speeder. Jazz drives the Specter Speeder towards the Ghost zone.
Danny,Desiree, and the Box Ghost sit in a Ghost Van that reads GZPD.
"Great. My folks are splitting up, my sister's a basket case and I'm going to Ghost Jail. This is the worst day of my life." Danny says looking toward the door opens up.
As a ghost police officer escorts them out of the van and into the jail.
"Well, well if it isn't the young whelp who helped put us in here." Skulker says as both him and Technus look at Danny and Desiree in their prison attire.
"Get a move it on the two of you the warden wants to speak with you." A Ghost Police Officer ushers Danny and Desiree toward The Warden's Office.
"Trespassing. Loitering. Creating a disturbance. *And*, possession of real-world contraband." The Ghost Warden says look at Danny and Desiree.
"Excuse me sir but-" Danny says.
"Name's Walker, son. Know it. Fear it."Walker says getting in Danny's face . "Obey it. I am your judge, Jury, and executioner."
"Well you see the truth is I'm actually trying to remove the the contraband. So, um, if I could just grab it and go,I'll promise I'll—" Danny says to Walker while trying to get the present.
"I'd like to let you go son but that would be against the rules.. Take them away." Walker says as a couple of Police officers escort Danny and Desiree out of Walker's office.
Meanwhile in Spittoon Jack is seen from behind running on a path past a stump as three men watch him from the porch of a general store as he spots them and walks up.
"Excuse me but do you gentlemen have a bathroom?" Jack says as the three men look confuse. "An outhouse?" as the three men continue to look confuse as they begin to spit out on to the grass. "Place I can whiz?"
"Can't you use Alicia's rhubarb?" says a man in a white shirt pointing to the rhubarb.
"Are you nuts with she's in? Didn't you hear about the dee-vorce?" Another man says leaning against a rail.
"Divorce? Maddie must have mistaken Alicia's words, and word is spreading through the Southern Grapevine!" Jack says turning around to the forest to use the restroom.
Back in the Ghost Zone Danny and Desiree are in the cafeteria as The Ghost Police Officer ushers them to move.
"Wow pretty much everyone who hates me all at one table. Just like High School." Danny says looking at the Box Ghost, Skulker and Technus as Desiree smirks at Danny knowing the Truth of that statement.
Danny and Desiree walk towards the line as the as the Ghost Lunch Lady serves them food sending them towards Skulker and the others.
"Well Ghost child time for some payback." Skulker said picking up Danny and throwing him towards the center of the Cafeteria. Walking towards Danny Phantom Skulker gets ready to throw a punch at him as Danny hold up his hands.
"Wait! I'm not the enemy here. I mean, yeah, I sent you all back to the Ghost Zone, but I didn't lock you up here, did I?" Danny said as Skulker, The Box Ghost, Technus and Desiree crowed around him.
"It is true! He did not package us in this box of iron!" The Box Ghost adds as Skulker looks at Danny to continue.
"If we work together we could all bust out of here. And you could always kick my butt later." Danny says hoping that would by him some time to grab his Father's anniversary gift.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, for now."Skulker says helping Danny to his feet.
"Here's what we do." Danny says tell the ghosts his plan.
"Face it, Jazz we're lost."Sam says in the passenger seat.
"Well why don't we ask someone like her." Jazz says to Princess Dora.
" I WANT TO GO TO Ball!" Princess Dora said turning to the Speeder. As she morphs into a dragon, as Jazz puts the Specter Speeder into high gear dodging incoming ghostly objects.
Back in the ghostly prison Danny and Skulker are trading blows with one another.
"Ooohhh my ghostly leg." Danny says as Skulker sends Danny crashing into table of trays as Skulker walks towards him.
"*pfh* My prey ceases to amuse me." Skulker says as the Ghost Police come into the cafeteria to break up the fight between Danny and Skulker.
"Another one for the infirmary." A Ghost Police officer says approaching Danny Phantom.
"Now!" Danny says as he flies up and punches one of the police ghosts, who is flung off to the side. Danny grabs the green stick the ghost was carrying and tosses it to the left while a stick comes from the right as Skulker's arm grabs it from the left.
"ATTACK!" Skulker yells as the crowd of prisoners rage from behind Skulker. Attacking the Ghost Police where they could find them.
Prisoners are rioting and wrestling with the guards. Skulker enters from the top and decks another guard onto the floor. Skulker grabs the guard's green pole and gets up. Skulker has the pole in his outstretched arms, letting out 3 green lasers that zap from right to left. One guard is holding out his pole, ready to zap. The guard gets hit and glows green, a restraint surrounding his chest and arms.
Technus grabs two guards, from both sides of him as he lifts them up and thrusts them off of Danny and Skulker fight back to back against a circle of guards. As the Lunch Lady comes up to two guards.
"Can I offer you gentlemen some apples?"The Lunch Lady asks the guards as they look at each other in confusion and shake their heads no. "Then Dine on my Fury of DOOM!"
Danny and Desiree blast open a wall allowing the other prisoners to escape as Skulker calls out to them.
"You're going the wrong way."
"We have some unfinished business with warden"Desiree says as both she and Danny head towards Walker's office.
"Then I look forward to hunting to claim Ember Mclain's heart." Skulker calls back.
"Thanks, but she's not interested." Danny calls back.

Maddie sits on the pouch as the Moon is shines bright in the background, while she is sipping tea as Jack walks up to dressed as a stereotypical farmer.
"Why, hey there!" Jack says trying to impress his wife. "Pretty young thang!" holding up some flowers to her.
"Jack Fenton, what on Earth are you doing?" Maddie asks as she looks down at him.
"Sweet talking you proving I can step away from work and pay attention to our relationship. Umm" Jack says as he looks at his wrist and takes out a sheet of paper. "You've got a smile that shines like swamp gas in the moonlight. Your mind twinkles like the moon off the bumper of my pick-em-up truck, and oh this is stupid.
" What's stupid, Jack? Anything-besides ghosts" Maddie asks as Jack walks up to her and looks down into her eyes.
"No but pretending to be something not is, You know I can be a fool, and you know that I can forget things, But the one thing you know more than anything even more than that ghosts exist and that your sister is a bitter old bat, is that I love you, baby." Jack says as Maddie feels touched by his confession.
"Oh Jack."
"And I wanted to give .. to give you.. ah crud." Jack says realizing he forgot the present.

"No he Didn't he kept it the mosquitoes wouldn't get it? " Danny says walking up to his father handing him his anniversary gift.
"Good boy, you're getting a raise in your allowance for this." Jack whispers to his son. "And I'll try and be better in the future." as Maddie hugs him.
"Thanks dad, so you guys aren't getting a divorce?" Danny asks his Parents.
"Divorce? Who said anything about *us* getting a divorce" Maddie asks as a red pick-up truck full of people cheering, drives up.
"Surprise!" Maddie and Jack Fenton say as a banner drops that says "A DECADE OF DIVORCE" from Alicia's cabin as Danny , Yushi, and Jazz look at each other confused.
"A Party! For the tenth anniversary of my divorce! You remembered." Alicia says as a tears of happiness run down her face.
"Well Sure! I even convinced your ex-husband to come." Maddie says pointing to a duck tank as a man throws a ball at it putting Alica's ex-husband in the water.

"Oh thank you. If you ever want to marry or date my daughter all you have to do is ask." Jack says as Danny walks up to his sister and brother in law, as Jack walks away.
"I have some weird In-laws." Yushi says as Danny and Jazz laugh.
"Yeah well at least its a constant like your mom said and I'll take being right and embarrassed over wrong every time." Jazz says.
