Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or 6Teen. I do not own the original story this is based on.
Warning, there may be extreme craziness in this chapter. Enjoy.
Danny and Jazz soon arrived at the mall in Jazz's car. Danny would fly, but he didn't want to use so much energy today. And he didn't need to with the option to ask his sister for a ride. Plus, with no ghost attack, Danny wanted to enjoy the day a bit more.
"Thanks again for the lift, Jazz," Danny said with a smile.
"No problem. So… am I finally going to meet this mystery lady of yours?" Jazz asked in a teasing tone. She knew that her brother has been dating some girl since he finished that dating service. She hasn't met her yet, and all she knew is that her name is Jen, she seems sporty, and Danny really likes her.
"She said that she'll meet me by the fountain for our date. I guess… you can come to say hello, but don't embarrass me," Danny warned. There was no way the threat was real, but Jazz played along.
"How could I embarrass you? I'm not mom and dad," Jazz said.
"Do I have to answer that?" Danny sighed.
Jazz didn't answer, but she did hum a merry little tune as she found parking. Her humming continued as she followed Danny through the mall. Jazz would look around to see if she could spot his date early, a little big sister fun.
They soon arrived at the fountain where Danny and Jazz saw another red-head waving at Danny, who walked up to her.
"Hey, Jen," Danny smiled. "How are ya?"
"Pretty good. Better now that you're here," the teen replied. She had a smile on her face that disappeared as she noticed the older teen with Danny.
"Danny, who is this?" Jen pointed to Jazz, with a slight change in tone.
"Jen, this is my older sister, Jazz. Jazz, this is Jen, the girl I told you about," Danny gestured to his sister.
"It's nice to finally meet you, Jen. Danny's told me so much about you," Jazz stretched out her hand.
Jen smiled, happy to see that they are siblings and not what she nearly thought. Jen took Jazz's hand and shook it.
"Thanks, it's nice to meet you, Jazz," Jen said politely to the other red-head.
"Uh...Jen? If you don't mind me asking how old are you?" Jazz asked.
"Sixteen," Jen answered to Jazz's surprise.
She's the same age as me? Jazz thought as she turned to her brother.
"You didn't tell me that she was older than you," Jazz whispered.
"I didn't? Huh? Must have slipped my mind," Danny said, not seeing a big deal here. After all, he had gone out with a handful of older girls during his time in the service.
"Seems off, I know," Jen glanced to Danny, who looked confused. "I'll admit, I wasn't expecting to meet someone like Danny at the dating service. But I'm glad to have met him."
Jazz was surprised to hear that. Typically anyone in Amity Park, of the teenage demographic, wouldn't give someone two years younger a chance. The odds of someone dating within a two year age difference were much lower than a day without a ghost attack. Though that wasn't a rarity during the summer. Jazz looked to her little brother.
For someone so clueless, Danny has some real game.
"Jazz? Jazz? Hello?" Danny waved a hand in front of his sister's face. "You there?"
"I'm sorry," Jazz snapped out of her thoughts. She rubbed the back of her head as she gave Danny and Jen a nervous smile and a red blush. "What were you saying?"
"We were saying that Danny and I were going to go," Jen waved her hand as she grabbed Danny's with her free hand. "It was nice meeting you."
"Oh-oh, yes. Nice meeting you too," Jazz turned to wave bye.
Jazz left, but not before she gave Jen a once over from behind. She wondered how Danny could impress a girl like Jen.
"There's no way dad had any charm like that," A thought then occurred to the red-headed ghost hunter. "Or did he?"
Jazz Fenton left the building in a small state of distress. She did not want to find out, even if she was proved right.
"So, what made you decide to have a date on the day after the last?" Danny asked. He may not have been dating for long, but it seemed odd to go on two dates in a row.
"Believe it or not, my friends were busy," Jen pouted. "We come all the way here, and suddenly they said they had plans and left. Can you believe it? I even got off work early."
Danny wanted to say he could relate, but nothing came to mind. There was the time he was 'popular,' by the standard that he got invited to a party by an A-lister, Dash. But he did so on the command of Jazz. Even then, Danny only found a small amount of happiness from the euphoric rush of being accepted by the popular kids. He got his lesson in the form of Sam and Tucker being stubborn in asking for an apology while getting a beat down from a ghost in a garage sale mecha.
"Well, …at least we can hang out by ourselves. Your friends really sound like cool guys, even Jonesy," Danny said.
"Just don't tell him that, his ego is big enough already. As Nikki would say," Jen laughed at Danny's comment.
The two journeyed through the mall, unbeknownst to their crowd of stalkers. And by stalkers, it's Jen's friends with a pair of binoculars. Which the boys fought over, well Jude and Jonesy really. If they weren't out of earshot, Danny and Jen might have heard them.
"Come on, Jude, just hand me the binoculars," Jonesy reached for the spy gear.
"Dude, I paid for it, I get to keep it," Jude had the object out of reach.
The rest watched the two fight like children when Nikki pointed out.
"You guys realize they're getting away, right?"
The little fighting boys stopped and looked to Danny and Jen, who were now a reasonable distance away. Jonesy grabbed the binoculars and rushed to a safe and distant hiding spot as Jude, and the rest followed.
"Dude!"
"Seriously, your parents are ghost hunters?" Jen could not believe what she heard. Danny rubbed his neck in embarrassment. This wasn't the first time he had to tell someone new, but it was the first time he told his girlfriend about his parents. As Jazz once told him, if his date doesn't find out how crazy his folks can get, it could lead to entrapment.
"Yeah, I know that's probably the last thing you'd hear, but my folks are ghost hunters. Well, they're inventors too. It's how they fund their hobbies and raise my sister and me," Danny thought back to his folks. It made him wonder if he would ever tell Jen about his alter ego. Hopefully, she doesn't develop a crush on Danny Phantom and go for him. Nah...Jen was too mature for that. Besides, it sounded way too cliché to happen.
"Are they one of those pairs that travel the globe with their own TV show and get freaked out by everything?" Jen wondered.
"No-ho-ho-ho!" Danny laughed. "They do-don't even like those shows. My dad says people who do that are the crazy ones."
Jen joined Danny for a laugh, the irony was too much. From afar, five teens sat at a table across from the cafe from where the lovebirds chatted.
"Those fries sure look tasty," Jude commented through binoculars. Jonesy took the magnifying object away from his hungry friend.
"Focus, Jude!" Jonesy looked through and spied on Danny and Jen.
"But I'm soooo hungry," Jude reached for the other side of the mall in exaggeration.
"Jude, we need to make sure everything with Jen is alright," Caitlin said. "So, what are they doing?"
"You guy know this is illegal, right?" Wyatt said as Nikki glared. The last two seemed to be the only ones with common sense and stuck around to keep the others out of trouble.
Why the heck are we even doing, Caitlyn? You and I already checked them on their second date. Danny already showed that he's a nice guy," Nikki pointed out.
"I know, but...well, third dates like these are crucial. They can make or break a relationship," Caitlyn argued, while internally thinking. And I am still curious about how good Danny is with girls that made his other dates like him that much.
"Besides, there is something about that guy that I don't trust," Jonesy said as he crossed his arms.
"What's wrong with him?" Caitlin asked, and Wyatt chuckled.
"He's still jealous that Danny is more popular with girls than he is," Wyatt teased Jonesy, who swatted aimlessly at the coffee-loving teen.
"Am not," Jonesy feebly answered, convincing no one. "I just want to see if it's true...about the girls."
Jonesy added the last part quickly, but he still couldn't hide his envy for the younger teen. Something that got a rise from his friends.
"Then you wouldn't mind sharing the binoculars?" Wyatt asked with his hand out. Jonesy complied out of childish surrender.
Wyatt grabbed the binoculars and enjoyed the view as Jonesy not-pouted in his chair.
"So, you and ice," Jen asked Danny with narrowed eyes. "Played any Ice Hockey?"
Danny was shocked. He had never played the sport before, but when you're a ghost-fighting superhero who can shoot ice beams, the thought does seldom cross one's mind. But Danny could never practice unless it was legitimately cold outside. As in enough to freeze water so no one would question a sheet of ice outside winter.
"Not really, but I just haven't gotten the chance to practice," Then a thought occurred to Danny and he gave Jen a smirk. "Wanna play a game? I promise I'll be gentle."
Jen straightened herself as she blushed. Hockey was not something one would usually ask on a third date term. Or is it? Jen would have to ask Caitlin the rules later. For now, the teen wanted nothing but spend time with Danny. Things were enjoyable.
"No fair. I'm bored, broke, and boardless. I wish something exciting could happen around here," Jude whined as he slammed his head on the table.
"Like what?" Jonesy asked.
"ANYTHING! Like, I wish something awesome would happen like fries falling from the sky, wicked sick rails to grind, or maybe or maybe a showing of some old cartoons would appear," Jude groaned.
Before his friends could comment on his "vivid" imagination, they all heard…
"So you have wished it, and so it shall be~" came ghostly moan.
"Huh? Who said that?" Wyatt asked. He was a little freaked out. Not just him, but everyone stopped spying and looked around for the source of the voice. To their collective fear, there was no one with five feet of their group.
Suddenly, a green mist flew around the mall, which they noticed. Jude and Wyatt stared in awe as Nikki grabbed whatever she could as a weapon. Jonesy and Caitlin hide behind the teens.
"What is this?! Is there a gas leak happening or something?!" Nikki exclaimed when she saw the mist.
The mist turned around and transformed into Desiree. Nikki and Caitlin gasped as Jonesy, Jude, Wyatt stared. Wyatt was perplexed by her appearance as Jude had his usual expression with a bigger smile now. Jonesy, the "Casanova" that he is, walked up to the ghost as he worked his routine with a sly grin.
"Hello there, big and beautiful. And I really mean big," Jonesy coyly talked as he eyed her outfit, specifically what was covered. "How about you and I grab a bite?"
Desiree looks to Jonesy with a befuddled look. Usually, people would just scream and run away. Even Danny did so at one time, albeit he had no memories. Desiree looked to his friends, who had surly faces. Especially Nikki, who looked like she wanted to deck the guy.
"Does he always do this?" Desiree asked.
The teens, sans Jonesy, who winked, nodded in frustration.
"It's my charm," Jonesy flirted. "Want to see my magic?"
"Want to see mine?" Desiree asked with a wicked smile. The teen backed away as a flash of light emitted from the ghost's hands. When it disappeared, so did Desiree. Which left Jonesy rubbing his eyes, he forgot to close them.
"That…was a gas leak, right?" Nikki wanted some reassurance.
To their bewilderment, the group of sixteen-year-old teens soon witnessed something that made them question if they were even awake or not or hallucinating due to fumes of Nikki's suppose gas leak theory.
Something began to fall from the sky, fries. From mini clouds that floated around the mall.
"IT'S RAINING FRENCH FRIES! AWESOME!" Jude exclaimed in excitement as he tried to catch them with his mouth. But when he did…
"AHHH!" Jude spat out the fry, which landed on the ground in a fume of fire. The teen opened his mouth to see the same flames erupt from his mouth.
"FLAMING FRENCH FRIES!..."Jonesy shouted, freaking out.
Wyatt threw his coffee in Jude's mouth. It was hot, but it put out the flames.
"TAKE COVER!" Nikki shouted as they all hid underneath the table for their safety.
However, as the flaming fries kept falling, they noticed something happening to the water fountain that was five feet away from them.
The water was soon replaced by some gross looking, green substance that shot out and expanded like wild vines. They stretched and reached to the farthest corners of the mall before they turned a paler shade of green in the center with goo leaking from them.
"What the heck is that stuff?!" Wyatt shouted. His face turned a similar color of green at sight.
"EW!" Caitlyn practically gagged, before screaming when another flaming fry nearly burned her.
"WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING HERE?!" Jonesy shouted, freaking out more and more.
Nearby, Danny and Jen saw the chaos unfolding. Jen was shocked, to say the least, this kind of stuff didn't happen in Canada…well, where she lived, at least. People panicked as they all ran for shelter from the flaming fries and gross vine-like pipes.
"What the heck?" Jen yelled.
As she gawked at the scene, Danny wondered how he was going to get away and hide to transform. The answer came in the form of the mucus water that slithered and squelched to their tables. Sadly, their meals had been covered in the green slime, before hardening into boogery nuggets.
"Ew," Jen gagged before she realized Danny was on the other side. "Danny!"
"I'm OK," Danny said. "Get somewhere safe. I'll find you."
Jen wanted to object but more mucus built up in the vine-like mucus. It became so thick, she couldn't get to Danny.
Danny found a restroom, where he went into the stall and transformed into Danny Phantom. Leaping into the air, Danny brought forth his thermos and aimed it at a cloud.
"You know what goes great with fries? Soup," Danny activated the Fenton Thermos and sucked in a cloud. With one contained, Danny flew to the next one and repeated the process while blasting any mucus railing blocking people's paths.
Oh man, this is too easy. What gives?" Danny asked.
"Awesome, dude!" Jude exclaimed. "It's Danny Phantom!"
The teens freaked out at the action unfolding. They couldn't believe it, Danny Phantom was sucking up flaming hot French fry spewing clouds with a thermos. Made for soup. The irony was thick with a ridiculous feeling of flabbergast as none of the teens had any idea how to deal with the situation.
"Huh. I guess he does exist," Wyatt retracted his previous comment.
"Guys!" The gang saw Jen running towards them. "I'm so glad you're OK. Have any of you seen Danny?"
"He's not with you?" Caitlin asked with a worried face. "What happened?"
"Take a guess!" Jen gestured to the mess of flaming fries and mucus rails. "How did this happen?"
"I wished for it to happen, and a hot, ghost genie made it so," Jude said bluntly.
Jen eyes her friend; she questioned his sanity, mentally. As did the rest. Who could believe anyone after they said that?
"Well, it looks like that Phantom guy has things under control," Wyatt pointed out. "Maybe things are calming down."
"Yeah," Nikki said before she and the others remembered something. "Hey, Jude? What was that last part of the wish?"
"Old cartoons appearing," Jude scratched his chin. "But how does that matter?"
The answer came in the form of a floating man in a black suit wearing a stitched, grey bedsheet with white eyes. He had with him some rope and a candle.
"Hello," he said in a creepy monotone.
"Who...the heck is that?" Jonesy asked, not sure how to handle this man.
"It's Candle Jack!" Jude exclaimed. The rest of the gang spoke nothing as they did not understand. "Dudes! Don't say his name, or he'll take you away, and you'll never be seen again."
"But you just said it," Jonesy pointed out.
"Said what?"
"Candle Jack!" Jonesy covered his mouth upon speaking the man's name. "Oh, crap."
Jonesy turned around to see the floating man very close to him with a stitched smile. Jude and Jonesy ran as fast as they could away from him. But the guy with a candle gave chase.
"Come on!" Jen gestured. "We're not letting some Candle Jack guy taking our friends away."
"Uhhh...Jen," Wyatt said with a frightened face. He pointed to the man who now looked at her with a smile and some rope.
"Crap."
That was all Jen said as she ran in a different direction.
Danny has contained the cloud, with its entirety safely tucked away in the thermos.
"OK, that was weird. Even for ghosts," Danny said. "Now to clean up this green...I want to say goop, and then it's back to- MY DATE!"
Danny noticed the guy with a candle carrying some people who floated with his rope. Among those captured were Jude, Jonesy, Nikki, who tried to save her friends, and Jen. Danny flew on over with rays blasting, he aimed carefully as to not hit anyone.
"Alright, Jack," Danny locked onto the guy with a candle. "I'm only going to say this once. Let. Them. Go."
"How do you know his name?" Jude asked. Despite dangling in the air, the teen couldn't help but wonder about Danny calling the guy 'Jack.'
Danny looked confused but ignored the question in favor of recusing Jen and the others. However, the guy with a candle saw this coming and flew to the center of the mall. It was here he let go of the rope.
Danny jetted over to the end of the rope, where he caught it in the nick of time. With everyone safe, Danny took his thermos and aimed it at the man, but felt the sharp edge of a grappling hook that skimmed his skin.
"AHHH!" Danny presses down on the wound, it wasn't deep but still hurt tremendously. In the process, his thermos dropped onto the floor.
"That wasn't a smart idea, ghost boy."
Danny looked to the side to see a man-sized crow with a potbelly in a yellow jumpsuit with a bubble helmet and jet pack. He wore a maniacal smile as he retracted the hook and aimed it again at the ghost boy.
"By the way, I'm not the only one you need to watch out for," he said with a finger directing Danny's attention to the other side where a pair of anthropomorphic cat robots had weapons aimed at Danny. One was short and stout, while the other was tall and thin.
"Psy-Crow and the Metalikats? Awesome!" Jude exclaimed. "Dude, this is like my childhood."
"This brings a whole new meaning to cartoons being bad for you," Danny muttered.
"Hey Mac," the taller cat bot surveyed the mall. "Where are we? This isn't Megakat Bank."
"No, but it looks like there's plenty of loot," Mac, the shorter cat bot, saw how some of the stores were of electronics, jewelry, and other valuables. "Come on, we'll deal with the freaks first, then have a shopping spree. There's plenty of loot to go around. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
The two metal villains resumed firing, as Psy-Crow aimed and fired his hook again. Danny noted the two attacks but could only retaliate against one. If he went intangible, then the foes would most likely aim their sights on the people.
So, Danny acted fast and projected a shield from the blasters while enduring the hook, which luckily just grazed him again. Danny gently placed the people down as the guy with a candle swooped in to grab the rope again.
"Back off you Tim Burton reject." Danny fired some ice at the floating man. The candle man backed off as the civilians ran away, but not before Jude said.
"Whatever you do, Phantom Dude, don't say his name! It's Candle Jack, just an FYI."
"Jude!" his friends shouted.
"Why not?" Danny asked as he dodged the blast of the Metalikats and grabbed Psy-Crow's hook.
"Uh-Oh," said the banana suited villain as Danny threw him with the hook, into the Khaki-Barn. Much to the joy of Nikki. Danny froze the Metalikats in solid ice, but the cats blasted it and caused an explosion that had Danny blasted through a booger vine and into the Bueno Nacho stand. Danny rose up, with some of the food in his mouth. He quickly spat it out.
"Bleh. Who eats this junk?" Danny flew to the villains as he heard the screams of Jude and Jen, who tried to save her friend.
"You gotta be kidding me?" Danny groaned. But as he looked away, another blast hit him, from Psy-Crow this time.
"Heh, heh, heh. I haven't used this bad boy since I was a gym teacher," the mutant crow laughed.
"You were a gym teacher?" Molly asked. Mac looked at Psy-Crow with a funny face, at least what could be considered a funny face.
"Yeah, but they fired me for being too nice," Psy-crow rubbed the back of his helmet. "ah well, that's what you get for relying on a laser gun set to kill to make the kids hustle."
Psy-Crow and the Metalikats aimed their weapons and opened fire. Danny couldn't think as he looked to Jude, and Jen once again tied with a rope that was floating. He wanted to help, but the blast kept him occupied. There was nothing he could do.
From afar, Desiree admired the chaos unfolding as Danny Phantom was about to meet his end.
"This is the best wish I've ever granted," the ghostly genie gloated. "how could it get any better?"
"Hugbees!"
"Hugbees?" Desiree questioned. "What's that?"
Suddenly a lightning-like streak came out of nowhere as it knocked over the laser-blasting villains. It went straight for Jude, Jen, Jonesy, and Nikki before it came to an abrupt stop, for it to show as a blue man who had black hair with white lightning bolts. He wore red full body underwear and white gloves and boots. And when he stopped, he said-
"Lucy, I'm home!"
"What is this?" Desiree asked no one.
To the confusion of everyone around him, except Jude.
"Awesome! It's Freakazoid!"
"Well, it's nice to see that someone watches my show," Freakazoid gestured to Jude.
However, the feeling faded when he saw the Metalikats started firing at him.
"Aww nut bunnies," Freakazoid ducked behind a turned over table. "I forgot the bad guys still had guns."
Freakazoid ran around the mall, dodging laser as he had his arms in the air.
"WOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHH!" the insane superhero said as he ran.
"What's with this guy?" Mac asked. "You know him?"
"No, I do not," Psy-Crow stated bluntly.
"I do," said the floating candle man. He had managed to recapture all the people he had, which was easy considering that they were still tied up with his floating rope. "He's a real nut. And that's something coming from me."
To their collective surprise, Freakazoid popped behind Psy-Crow's shoulder. The Metalikatz opened fire, much to the objections of the yellow suited villain who ducked at the right moment. The blue superhero decided to appear behind the robot cats.
"You know, it's rude to open fire on someone without their permission," Freakazoid wagged his finger as if to say "naughty naughty." Mac and Molly looked to each other, then to the Freakazoid and resumed blasting.
"So," Molly responded. "We're the bad guys. We don't ask permission for nutin."
Molly fired again, but Freakazoid ran at lightning speed to the other side of the mall.
"Nice shooting, Molly," Mac said sarcastically.
"It's still better than your driving," Molly quipped.
"Ya done?!" Psy-Crow shouted. "Cause we got another hero here that we need to destroy."
The three aimed and fired at Danny, who made another ghost shield. The shield was strong and would hold out, but it pinned the ghost boy down. He could only watch as citizens were being hauled away with floating rope. Danny's mind was racing so fast, he forgot he could turn intangible at the moment.
"Where the heck is that Freakazoid guy?" Danny thought out loud.
"Wow! Look at these coats!" Nearby Freakazoid had been distracted with the coming fall line up of striped polka-dotted jackets. Fashion, after all, just kept getting weirder.
"Oh man," Danny groaned.
Luckily a blast came from behind. The villains, and Danny, looked to see what could be described as a large mutated worm wearing a white and blue mechanical suit holding a red laser gun.
"Groovy!" the worm said as he twirled the gun, firing it accidentally at the roof.
"Oh great, it's Jim," Psy-Crow groaned. "Now ain't that just great! Now we have a hero and two lunatics."
"Hey, that's not nice to these guys," Jim gestured to Freakazoid and Danny, who took offense at being called crazy. "Sure, nobody's exactly sane, but we as proud—"
"Alright. Alright," Psy-Crow interrupted. "Let's not make a grand speech of things and just fight."
The villain resumed firing as Jim ducked weaved while Danny, who was now free, encased the villains in ice. That did not work, as their weapons, once again melted the ice around them. Mac aimed at Phantom, only to see he had flown to the candle—
"Cut that out! The meme is discredited! You can write Candle Jack now! Sheesh!" Freakazoid rudely said to the author.
It's just fun.
"Well, stop it."
OK, just go back to fighting.
Freakazoid saluted the author and ran over to the fight in his usual insane manner. The mad hero jumped up and banged his fists on Psy-Crow's helmet, earning him the villain's ire. Freakazoid dashed as he was under fire and ran between the Metalikatz, creating crossfire. A cliché move, but very useful. This caused the trio to attack each.
With the distraction, Jim jumped up and aimed his blaster at the villains. Who noticed the worm when they heard his battle cry.
"EAT DIRT, VILE BANANA SUITED DOOFUS, AND METAL FELINE GANGSTERS! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Jim cried as he opened fire on…well everything in his sight. He aimed the blaster, yes, and it mainly hit the villains, who ducked and covered, but most of the surrounding got damaged more.
With the chaotic fight of justice happening, Danny Phantom flew over to Candle Jack and grabbed the rope from the nutcase. Candle Jack, not happy about his victims being rescued, punched Danny in the nose before he summoned more rope to tangled Danny with.
Danny made himself, and the people he rescued, intangible, allowing the rope to phase past him.
"Think you're so tough?" Candle Jack angrily asked. "Then, let's see if you can handle my candle."
The spooky man rushed forward, floating with his candle in front. As he flicked it, a small flame spat out and rushed to Danny, who dodged.
"Ha! Is all you got? I've fought ghosts with flaming hair that were worse than you," Danny quipped. But to his dismay, Candle Jack had a smile on his face and pointed behind the ghost boy. Danny looked around to see the flame going for the people still trapped in rope and realized they were in grave danger.
"Small or tiny, fire is still dangerous. One must be careful around open flames," Candle Jack said as he flew over to stop Danny. "And that rope can be highly flammable."
However, Danny wanted no interruption and kicked the candle out of the man's hand before he froze the nutcase. It would have landed in a plant had Freakazoid not caught it.
"Hey, Phantom! You gotta watch where you throw this. Didn't you hear Candle Jack?" Freakazoid yelled at the ghost boy.
Meanwhile, Candle Jack groaned as he couldn't escape from the ice to tie up Freakazoid for saying his name.
Danny finally got the rope and guided the people down. He made the line intangible and threw it away from the people. Some were so grateful to be landed, they kissed the ground. Others showed gratitude by hugging their savior, even Jen, who had been so baffled by the turn of events that she was stunned silent.
"Thanks," Jen said with an even tone, but Danny could feel her t4remble a bit. He wanted to hug her back but had to maintain his identity.
I'll make it up to her later. Danny thought as he went back to the fight.
Jen, a little shook up, was comforted by her friends, who were more than happy to see her, Nikki, Jonesy, and Jude unharmed.
"I am so glad we're OK!" Jonesy exclaimed in a moment of emotional distress. For the moment, he didn't care about machoism and hugged Nikki, who was stunned. Everyone soon joined in a group hug that seemed to last forever as they squeezed as hard as they could. Which was painful as Caitlin put in the most strength. For a size zero, the girl could really pull far past her own weight.
Jen enjoyed the comfort of her friends when she remembered. "Where's Danny?"
With the help of Freakazoid and Earthworm Jim, things were looking better, but Danny could do without some of the zaniness. The Metalikats and Psy-Crow fired their weapons, but with it being three on three, they each had to shoot one superhero.
"This was easier when we had one of these idiots distracted," Molly commented, missing each hero.
"Then let's even the odds," Mac said with a smile as he blasted the ice-encased Candle Jack. With the ghoulish-looking man free, he headed back to the people, ignoring the fight.
"For a scary looking guy, he really doesn't like people saying his name," Earthworm Jim said as he fought back with laser blasts.
"Actually, it's more of a 'you-say-my-name-and-I-can-get-you' kind of thing," Freakazoid took a moment to stop. "Also, he's a nut."
"Considering what we're dealing with, I can say that all today has been," Danny quipped before he noticed the predicament. "Hey, someone get him."
"Fear not ghost boy," Jim exclaimed with manic glee. "I have to perfect way to stop him."
Jim pressed a button on his suit, which opened up to have a mechanical hand extend out with a plate covered in a pan. Jim eyed the people.
"You there," Jim pointed to Jen, or maybe anyone else. No one was sure. "Catch."
Whether or not he meant Jen, she caught the plate.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" Jen asked, eyeing the object. It had a peculiar smell, not gross, but had a particularly delectable scent to it.
"Open it!" Jim commanded.
Candle Jack was closing in. Everyone started to huddle together as the boogie man closed in. Jen wasn't sure whatever she had could help. It smelled more like food than a weapon. But she was too scared to question the hypermutated earthworm. She mustered all the courage she could gather and opened the pan.
"Now then, prepare to-AAAAAAAHHH!" Candle Jack couldn't finish that last statement as he saw what was under the cover. "Get it away! GET IT AWAY!"
"What the?" Caitlin and Nikki were curious and went over to Jen and saw what was on the plate.
"What the heck is that?" Caitlin asked in disgust.
"It looks like a foreign dish," Nikki commented. "I can't remember what it is."
"It's only the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep boiled in its own stomach," Jim explained matter-of-factly as he held up the Metalikats and bashed them together. "It's called—"
"HAGGIS!" Candle Jack screamed as he flew away very fast back to the fight, to the confusion of the teens and shoppers.
Desiree, who gazed from above, was exceedingly astonished.
"Huh, so it's a ghost repellent," Caitlin commented. Her friends gave her funny looks.
Psy-Crow rushed over to Danny, who gave him a barrage of blasts. He slipped on a banana peel, which was dropped by Freakazoid, who finished one. The massive crow slid over to the Metalikatz and knocked them over. They would have gotten up, but Candle Jack pushed them back into some of the mucus vines.
As they got up, they saw Earthworm Jim with his blast ready as Danny and Freakazoid appeared beside him.
"This gonna hurt real bad, isn't it?" Psy-Crow asked as the others nodded their heads.
"EAT DIRT, EVIL AMALGAMATION OF THE 90'S! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Jim opened fire with extreme mania as the villains took in the full power of his attack. Luckily, being old cartoons brought to life, they didn't die or anything but were beaten and bruised badly. Their surrounding area was like a crater made of blasts.
"Jim here may need some therapy," Freakazoid whispered to Danny, who gave him a glare.
"I think that goes for you too," The ghost boy pointed back. But Freakazoid just shrugged his shoulders.
Danny, once more, attempted to encase the villains in ice. This time it worked, as the foes didn't bother to do anything. The fight had exhausted them.
"Up top," Freakazoid exclaimed as he had his hand ready for a high five.
Jim returned the gesture, but Danny just gave them a wide-eyed face.
"How can this be?" Desiree yelled. "I brought forth villains. How are you heroes here?"
"Because, the wish was to bring fries, sick rails, and old cartoons," Freakazoid explained. "You just did your thing and put a twist on them, but still was neutral with the cartoons."
"Sounds about right," Jim nodded in agreement.
Desiree did not answer, but everyone could see her seething anger. Danny flew up to the ghostly genie, she was ready to fight, but Danny had his hands up.
"Alright, Desiree, let's make a deal. Change everything back, and I WON'T suck you into the thermos," Danny brought forth the Fenton Thermos as an emphasis to his end of the bargain.
"HA-HA-HA! You think you can have me revert my wishes?!" Desiree taunted.
"Technically, they were my wishes," Jude interjected. The mall-goers immediately picked up on this and surrounded the teen. "What? How was I supposed to know they'd be granted? I'm not from here."
Jen and the gang surrounded Jude to protect him, but the citizens decided to cut the boy some slack. They didn't need any more of this right now.
"Desiree, I'm serious," Danny went up to her face. "Change everything back. Now."
"Or else what?"
"Or else, we'll stay here and bother you with all our zany adventures," Freakazoid said from behind. Jim had flown up with a rocket ball he kept in his pocket. Freakazoid had a sly grin as he inched closer to the ghostly genie. "And I'll make sure you hear everything clearly by staying really, really close you," Freakazoid spoke softly before ending the sentence with a high-pitched squeal.
Desiree swatted the hero off and backed away. However, she moved closer to Danny, who pointed to the Fenton Thermos he picked up from the ground. He wasn't sure if sucking her in would fix everything after all the chaos, but he didn't want to take a chance.
"This does nothing, as you are merely creations of my power. I can control you if I desire," the ghost said.
"How about us?" Came a new voice. One that gave even Danny a sense of dread. And from nowhere, came the Warner Brothers: Yakko, Wacko, and Dot. The two brothers jumped onto Desiree, and Dot hugged Freakazoid.
"Oh-No. No! Go away!" Danny yelled. "Things have been crazy enough as it is."
"And we can make them crazier," Wacko said as he eyed Desiree.
"Oh, believe me. It's about to become crazier," Yakko said before winking to the readers before he and his siblings started bouncing around their objects of affections, laughing madly. "MUAH! Night Everybody!"
"Gah! No man may touch me!" Desiree shook the two off. And when that didn't work, she went intangible and got the desired results. She remained that way in fear of the Warners.
"Boys," Dot commented as she snuggled her face against Freakazoid. He didn't seem to mind but showed no returning affection.
Earthworm Jim just shrugged his shoulders.
"Listen, Desiree," Danny was at his limit and flew to Desiree and grabbed her or attempted to. "Things are getting crazier by the minute. So, listen carefully, I make a wish, you don't pull any tricks, and we go our separate ways for now. Got it?"
Desiree looked to the zany characters and nodded at Danny.
"Then, I wish everything was back to normal."
"So you have wished it, and so shall it be," with a wave of her hands, Desiree reversed her previous wish, and everything disappeared. Even the Warners left as the ghostly genie teleported them back to their water tower home.
Danny looked around and saw everything was fixed. He looked to Desiree. "I'm going to say this once," Danny was close to her face. "I won't tell if you won't."
Desiree nodded, and the two ghosts flew their separate ways.
"That…was seriously…AWESOME!" Jude yelled as he had his hands in the air. "Not only did we a ghost attack and saw Danny Phantom, but I even got to have my wish granted. Another thing off the bucket list."
"You really wished for flaming fries, gross pipes, and cartoons to come to life?" Wyatt asked.
"No, just to have a wish granted by a magical genie," Jude talked like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Jonesy had no words for the event, and he remained that way until he saw some hot ladies and decided to get his mind off of things. With a bit of normalcy.
"Man, the US is crazy!" Nikki surveyed everything. The ghost genie kept to her word. Nikki was almost grateful until she saw the Khaki Barn was also fixed. "Well, there goes my highlight of the day."
Danny found a nearby restroom to transform in. He leaned against the wall as he exited, he was exhausted from this event.
"Danny!" Jen shouted. He waved weakly as his girlfriend gave him the tightest hug ever. "You alright? You look like you've been through every Olympic event."
"I'm just exhausted from all this. Ghosts attack but never like this before," Danny leaned on Jen. "In fact, I don't think this would ever happen in my life," he looked to Jen, who held him tight. "Then again, I never thought I'd have a beautiful girlfriend."
That got the reaction he wanted as Jen gave him a small laugh.
"Sorry about this," Danny said.
"For what? You didn't cause all this. Jude did," Danny's eye shot open.
"What?"
"Yeah, that ghost genie was nearby and—" Jen stopped as she saw Danny looking more exhausted. "You know what? That's for another day. Come on, the mall is fixed, and there's this awesome movie out now. Wanna catch it? I don't think anyone wants to be here after the ghost attack, so we should be the only ones there."
Danny straightened up. That was good news, and despite the day, he figured Desiree would now stay away from Jude. No telling what he'd wish for next. Jen had her arm out, which Danny linked his with. Tomorrow was another day, hopefully without the craziness of today. But what could be worse?
"Finally!" said a teen as she kicked open the door to her room. "She jumped onto her bed and breathed in the scent of the room. "Ah~ the smell of anti-establishment in the evening."
"Sammy-kins," came a shrill voice. "Come downstairs and tip the limo driver. Your father and I are getting the butler to bring the luggage up.
Sam groaned and did as she was told. After spending half a summer with her parents, the goth girl was more than happy to spend time with friends. Sam looked to her clock. It read 9:10.
"Danny and Tucker should still be up. She picked up her phone and dialed Danny, but received no response. "Huh, that's weird. I wonder if Tucker knows what is going on."
Sam hit Tucker's number and got connected.
"Sam, is that you?" Tucker asked.
"Yep, and I'm back in Amity Park," Sam said with joy. "Get Danny, we should hang out tonight. It's summer and—"
"Danny had the craziest day ever," Tucker deadpanned. "He's not gonna be up till maybe the day AFTER tomorrow."
"What happened?" Sam asked with concern. "I mean, it's not like things were that crazy. Nothing changes around here."
"I'll tell you tomorrow. Night Sam. Glad you're back," Tucker said as he hung up. Sam was confused but decided to let it wait. For now, she was just happy to be back.
And there you have another chapter. So Jen and her friends had their first ghost encounter and it was even crazier than normal with guest appearances. Will they appear again...I honestly have no clue. Next time, Sam appears and meets Jen. We know how that'll go. anyway, have a good day and stay safe during this pandemic.
Special Thanks to Flower Princess11 and NeoMark for their help.
Big thanks to Jebest4781 and DJ Rodriguez for the consecutive reviews.
Reviews:
danifan3000: As the Deadpool form Danny and Kitty pointed out, these all take place in separate timelines and universes. Each Deadpool is his own and can date any girl he wants.
Luiz4200: Yeah. Fun fact, the movie he took it from was Detroit Rock City. As for Michelle, well...he's obviously not invited to any of her parties. That's for sure.
Dreams Come True 996: Well for fourth-wall-breaking, we had the Warner, Freakazoid, and Earthworm Jim. Though two of them could display that specific trait. As for Mikey, it was mainly just a nod to Flower Princess11's main storyline with Danny and Kara, but who knows what will happen.
61394: And it's going to be a while before Jonesy learns. In the meantime, let's enjoy how. And a special thanks for your Deadpool for answering danifan3000's question. I didn't know when I would finish this chapter.
Major Simi: Thanks.
CMR Rosa: Yeah, Dash is in for it now. I don't know if Danny will care enough to press charges. He deals with the normal teen stuff and ghost fighting on a fairly regular basis. But, more punishment is coming for Dash. Just wait and see.
Guest: Ghost-Zone Khaki Barn...interesting.
Jebest4781: Thanks.
DJ Rodriguez: Thanks.
