Danny Phantom Wiki
Advertisement
Fade in to the exterior of Casper High. Pan down to Tucker sitting on the front steps of the school, holding and writing on his PDA.
Tucker Foley (voiceover) Some people have a lot, and some People don’t. But everybody's got something. Me, I've got charm, (Smugly raises eyebrow and smiles) good looks, and modesty. (Cut to PDA screen with Tucker's entry.) My best friend, Danny?
Fade to Danny and Tucker grabbing the same pack of four skateboard wheels from a box on a table. They are at a swap meet.
Tucker (voiceover) He has something else.
The boys turn and glance at each other.
Danny Fenton Two for me, two for you?
Tucker Sounds fair.
They both reach into their pockets and pull out some cash, handing it to the table's owner.
Tucker (voiceover) Danny and me have known each other since, like, forever. And we share everything.
Danny and Tucker walk up to Madam Babazita's Mystical Oddities booth. Tucker picks up a genie bottle.
Tucker A genie in a bottle? I don't think so. (Puts bottle down.) Thanks, anyway.
The boys keep walking. A young mom and her toddler daughter, who has a balloon tied around her wrist, walk past them in the opposite direction. The daughter spots a lady at a snack stand giving someone cotton candy.
Milly (Begging and pointing.) Please, Mommy! Please, Mommy, can I have some cotton candy, please, please, please, please?
Young mom I think you've had enough sugar today.
Milly (Reaching out for cotton candy as her mother continues pulling her along as she walks) I want it! I want it! I want it!
The daughter's balloon string catches on the genie bottle Tucker was looking at before as they walk past, knocking it to the ground. It breaks, and a green mist rises up to form Desiree, a wish-granting ghost.
Desiree And your heart's desire is my command.
She transforms into a green mist again and flies off. Meanwhile, Danny's ghost sense goes goes off while he and Tucker are walking. He stops and turns around to see Desiree materialize near the snack stand. She causes the cotton candy machine to overload, spewing cotton candy into the sky and all over the swap meet and its attendees. The little girl who wanted the cotton candy sees it and instantly cheers up.
Milly (Screaming.) Cotton can-- (A flood of cotton candy drowning her cuts her off.)
The cotton candy continues to flood the pathways. Meanwhile, a dentist at his "Dental Work" booth sees the sugary mess and smiles.
Tucker (voiceover) We share everything, except one thing.
Danny (Looks around to make sure no one's watching.) I'm going ghost! (Goes ghost.)
Tucker (voiceover) Danny's got superpowers.
Danny flies up in the air to meet Desiree.
Desiree I am Desiree. What is your wish?
Danny None of your business, Candy Pants.
Desiree Surely there must be something... (Reaches for Danny's chest.)
Danny (Backing away.) Hey, get away!
A ghost ray begins to ball up in his hand and he shoots it at Desiree, sending her into the distance.
Danny (Looking at his glowing hand.) What the heck? What's going on? Is this...a new ghost power?
Tucker (From the ground:) That was slamming! Whatever that was. (As Danny floats down.) You've got another power?
Danny (Looks at his hand.) I guess.
Tucker Man, that's the cool thing about your powers, man. There's no downside! (Raises hand.) Gimme five!
Danny goes to high-five Tucker, but instead shoots another ghost ray at his hand, knocking him backwards into a pile of cotton candy.
Tucker (As more cotton candy falls on top of him:) I'm okay!
Cut to theme song.
Fade in to the Casper High football field on game night.

Tucker

(voiceover) So, anyway, I guess the craziness really started at the game Saturday night.
Fade to Sam and Tucker sitting in the bleachers. Sam is wrapped in a blanket, sick.
Sam Manson (Sneezes twice.) I'm sick as a dog and I hate sports. Why am I here?
Tucker Because Danny's here and he's got the best seat in the house!
Cut to the football field where the Casper High Ravens mascot runs onscreen.

Announcer

(Off-screen, as the mascot jumps around.) And now, everybody, here they are, your very own Casper High Ravens!
The football team runs onto the field, trampling the mascot and causing the costume's beak to fall off, revealing Danny inside it.
Danny (Sarcastically:) Fill in for the mascot. It'll be fun. You'll meet cheerleaders.
Another football player steps on his head. Cut to the referee blowing his whistle to start the game. The opposing team kicks off, and Dash catches the ball, but is immediately tackled by the entire other team. Fade to Dash about to receive the snap from a teammate.
Dash Hike!
He rears up to pass the ball, but is tackled again. Fade to the ball flying through the air. Dash intercepts the pass and starts running in the opposite direction, but is tackled yet again.
Tucker This is pathetic. Our team's fading fast.
Sam (Sneezes.) Me, too. I'm outta here. Later.
Cut to Dash in a huddle with his teammates.
Dash Man, I wish I could turn into the kind of monster who could crush these guys single-handed.
Desiree materializes out of a green mist above the field. She casts her hand out, sending a green mist over Dash, who has turned away from the huddle. The mist causes him to mutate into a giant green monster, which rips his uniform in the process. Danny turns and notices this happening.
Danny Huh?
Dash turns and roars at a teammate, who screams and runs away. Danny's ghost sense goes off and he sees Desiree, who flies off.
Danny Oh no!
Monster Dash passes the ball down the field so fast, it catches fire from friction. He growls and runs to catch up and catch it himself. Cut to two announcers in the announcers' booth.
Announcer #1 Wow! It looks like those high-protein breakfasts are really paying off!
Danny runs over to Tucker on the bleachers.
Tucker Do you believe this, Danny? Dash is a beast!
Dash slams the football into the end zone, cracking the ground.
Danny And getting beastier.
Dash turns and roars, flexing his arms.
Announcer #2 Holy Mark McGwire, look at those arms!
Danny I think he's running on ghost power. I need your help!
Tucker (Stands up.) To kick some ghost booty?
Danny Sort of. (Eyes flash green.)
Tucker I'm in.
Dash lines up with the other players for the snap.
Dash (Growls.) Fifteen! (Growls.) Twenty-five! (Growls.) Three two!
Danny floats up invisibly over Dash.
Danny Whoa! (Holds nose.) Ghost energy's pretty strong. But hopefully, ripe for the picking.
Danny phases his hand into the back of Dash's head.
Dash Huh?
Danny pulls a green indistinct ghost, with a head shaped like Dash's, out of Dash's body and flies off with it. Dash's body shrinks back to normal size and color, leaving him dazed.
Dash Uh...hike?
His teammate snaps him the ball and runs off. The opposing team tackles him yet again. Cut to Danny, still invisible, behind the bleachers.
Danny (Opens and holds out a Fenton Thermos, sucking in the ghost.) Back to the Ghost Zone for you, pal.
Tucker (voiceover) Danny had no problem getting that ghost out of Dash. (Danny caps off the thermos.) But, we lost the game, (Danny flies off.) which was bad news for the guy filling in for Danny, (Fade to the field.) who was filling in for the guy who usually wears the mascot suit -- me.
Tucker is in the raven mascot suit, hanging upside-down from the goalpost.
Tucker Man, every time Danny goes ghost, I get the short end of the stick.
A group of jocks with baseball bats walks up to him.
Jock #1 Hey, guys. A raven piñata.
Jock #2 Haha! Let's hit him until the candy comes out.
Tucker grimaces in fear. Fade to the Fenton Works' lab. Danny phases through the ceiling, checks to see if anyone's there, and lands in front of the Fenton Portal. He looks around and sees the Fenton Ghost Catcher, then inserts the thermos into a panel connected to the portal.
Danny End of the line, gruesome.
The contents of the thermos empty out, and the Dash ghost gets sucked into the portal, screaming. Danny smiles at the portal and starts to fly off, but accidentally flies through the Ghost Catcher, which separates his ghost and human halves. The human half falls to the ground. Both halves stare at each other, then the ghost half flies back into the human half's body to reunite. Off-screen, Jack sneezes from a tent he and Maddie have set up in the lab.
Jack Fenton Who's that? Somebody out there?
Jack and Maddie look out from the entryway of their tent. They are both sick.
Danny Am I interrupting something, that I hope I'm not?
Maddie Fenton (Sniffs.) Your father and I are purifying ourselves of negative ghost energy.
Jack (Sneezes.) We're trying to richly expel any viral ghosts in our systems with the Fenton Ghost Catcher. (Danny looks at the Ghost Catcher.) It's like an Indian dream catcher, except it expunges ghosts and not dreams, you see.
Danny You might just have a cold, you know. It doesn't have to be a ghost cold.
Jack and Maddie share a look, then glare at Danny as they walk out of the lab.
Jack I remember when I was that naive.
Danny smiles, then turns and walks back up to the Ghost Catcher. He sticks a hand through it, and the ghost half of his hand separates and floats up in the air.
Danny (Pulls hand out quickly and holds it.) Whoa! This one actually works -- a little too well. I'm filing this under "Must Avoid."
Fade to the exterior of Sam's house.
Tucker (voiceover) Even during trying times, one has to remember a fallen comrade.
Cut to Sam sick in her bed on the phone, with an ice pack on her head.
Tucker (voiceover) Poor Sam was so sick, and all cooped up in her house. That's the worst.
Sam (Sneezes so hard ice pack gets knocked off her head.) Ugh! I feel like I'm going to die. I hate being sick! (Sneezes.)

Danny

(On phone, split-screen:) Hang in there, Sam. Tucker and I are gonna come visit you when we're done at the mall. You want us to bring you anything?

Sam

(Sneezes.) No, no, please. Don't bother. My folks are taking pretty good care of me.
Zoom out to show Ida (holding soup), a doctor, and 3 nurses standing at Sam's bedside.

Sam

Guys, it's just a cold!
A nurse holding a defibrillator comes in. Sam looks shocked.
Nurse Clear!
Cut to the movie theater, where Dead Teacher IV is playing. Danny and Tucker are walking in the lobby as Danny puts away his phone.
Danny She's gotta be sick if she's missing Dead Teacher IV. (Phases through a trashcan.)
Tucker This time it's personal.
Danny and Tucker keep walking. Behind them in the background, two girls are admiring a

Sayonara Pussycat movie standee.

Girl #1

Oh my gosh! I can't wait for the Sayonara Pussycat movie. I want to see it so bad!

Girl #2

Oh my gosh, I know. Isn't she so cute?
The girls walk away, and Paulina walks up to admire the standee.
Paulina Sayonara Pussycat is so cute! Why can't I be that popular?
Desiree phases through a wall and casts a green mist over Paulina, who starts to glow green. Cut to a group of movie patrons at the snack counter.
Paulina Hey, everybody! (Everyone turns in shock.) What do you think of me?
Everyone gasps. Paulina is now floating in the air as a small anime version of herself.
Crowd We love you! We love you! We love you, Paulina!
Paulina (Starts to run on ground.) Look at me! I'm so cute and cuddly and ever-so-wonderful! Don't you think?
Crowd (Running after her.) We agree! We love you, Paulina!
Cut to Danny and Tucker standing at a Crash Nebula arcade game, looking at Paulina.
Danny Paulina?
Announcer (Over PA speaker:) Attention, moviegoers. Googolplex Cinemas has officially declared it "Happy Fabulous Paulina Day."
Paulina (Stops and turns around to crowd.) I don't know what to say. Why squander my popularity here? I'm so adorable, I bet I could become Super Fairy Queen (starts to grow in size) of All Teenagerdom! Isn't that luscious?
Crowd (Cheering.) Yay!
Danny Tucker, I--
Tucker (Hands Danny a Fenton Thermos.) Do what you gotta do. (Starts walking away.) I'll get seats.
Danny goes ghost and flies toward Paulina, lifting and flying her away from the crowd. Cut to Tucker in an empty theater watching Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!
Tucker Man, I cover for Danny, my movie gets sold out, and I gotta watch this now. I'm tired of being left out all the time. Man, I wish I had ghost powers, too.
Desiree phases through the back wall of the theater and floats behind Tucker. He notices her and gasps.

Desiree

(Waving hand around.) Your heart's desire is my command.
A green mist surrounds Tucker, and Desiree phases out of the theater. The mist disappears and Tucker looks around. He suddenly glows green and turns invisible, phasing down through his seat while screaming. His head phases back up out of his seat and he takes stock of what has happened.
Tucker Sweet!
Cut to a storage room of the movie theater. Danny phases Paulina and himself through the wall and sets her down.
Paulina Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm adorable and swell and full of big-headed anime goodness.
Danny (Sticks hand out, charging up ecto-blast.) Bye-bye, kitty.
Danny shoots the ecto-blast at Paulina's head, expelling a small, anime ghost cat that appears behind her.
Sayonara Pussycat Hi! Isn't everything in the world sweet and (Spins around) wonderful and--
She meows as Danny sucks her into the thermos. He caps it off, and Paulina returns back to normal, holding her head in a daze.
Danny Cool. It worked! I can't wait to tell Tucker. (Phases out through ceiling.)
Paulina Wh-where am I? And why do I feel that I'm special and adorable? (Pauses.) Because I am! (Walks off confidently.)
Cut to Danny turning back to human while hiding near a theater's exit doors. He then scans the crowd in the theater, looking for Tucker.
Danny Huh, no Tuck. Eh, he must've taken off. (Walks away.)
Dead Teacher IV starts playing on the movie screen. Tucker floats above the crowd, smiling down at them.
Tucker (voiceover) Oh, sure, that's what he probably thought. (Turns invisible; floats down and eats a lady's popcorn.) But why would he even suspect... (Drinks from a girl's soda, puts a man's toupee on a boy, and puts a boy's arm around a girl. Floats up and looks back at his work.) that I was having the time of my fourteen-year-old life?
The sound of the girl punching the boy whose arm was around her is heard, and Tucker laughs and flies off. Cut to the outside of the theater, where cars are in traffic, and zoom in on a car with a surfboard on top and an annoyed driver inside.

Driver

Oh, man. Bogus. Stupid car. (Sighs.) I wish you could just fly over stuff so I wouldn't have to sit here.
A green mist starts to come out of his car vents, and Desiree's voice is heard.
Desiree (Off-screen) So you wish it, so shall it be.
Driver What the heck? (Tuning car radio.) Hey, this isn't my station!
His car begins to glow green, and the wheels turn horizontally. The car zooms up into the air and the man screams as the car flies off. Cut to Danny leaving the movie theater. His ghost sense goes off, and he looks up to see Desiree flying off.
Danny Jeez, lady, don't you ever take a break? (Sees the flying car.) Flying car?
Danny jumps behind the theater's box office and goes ghost, then flies up alongside the flying car, where the driver is still screaming in a panic.
Danny Hey, slow down, Jeff Gordon! You're going over the speed limit. (Looks to the side.) And the height limit.
The driver screams as the car zooms ahead. Tucker suddenly flies up next to Danny.
Tucker Don't sweat this one, Danny. I'm on it.
Tucker zooms off ahead, and Danny screeches to a halt in surprise, watching Tucker fly off after the car.
Danny Tucker?!
Fade to commercial break.
Fade onto the car still flying and swerving around with the man screaming inside. Tucker phases down into the passenger seat.
Tucker Chill, dude. Tucker Phantom's on the case.
Danny (Phases head through backseat.) Tucker Phantom? (Phasing body through seat.) Okay, ignoring the total originality of that, (Sits down) how the heck did you get ghost powers anyway?
Tucker Who knows? And more importantly, who cares? And now, if you'll excuse me, (Grabs steering wheel) I have some heroic exploits to attend to.
Danny (Grabs steering wheel as well.) Tucker, we're too young to drive!
The driver screams as the car swerves and spins around.
Danny Let go of the wheel! This is serious!
Danny gets knocked into the backseat. Tucker and the driver scream as the car flies towards a building. Danny phases the entire car intangible and it flies seamlessly through the building and out the other side. Tucker looks out the side window back at Danny through the back window.
Tucker Oh, sure. Phase the car through the building. You had to save the day, didn't you?
Danny Uh, yeah, because a car smashing into the twenty-eighth floor of anything is bad!
Tucker You're just jealous because there's somebody else around (Points thumb at self) to grab the spotlight now.
Driver (Pointing ahead.) Yo, hallucinations! Focus!
Danny When have I ever grabbed the spotlight?
Tucker How about right now, for instance?
The driver screams as the car crashes into the open top window of a grain silo on a farm. The car then falls down and out of the bottom doors of the silo. A chicken lands and pecks at the grain, but the driver pops his heads out of it so that the chicken is on his head. He looks up and notices, then smiles.
Driver Chyeah! There's a chicken on my head!
Danny (Phases out of the grain.) Tucker, please. This is stupid. (Tucker phases out of grain.) You're my best friend. I'm not jealous. I'm concerned.
Tucker Well, don't be. This town's big enough for more than one ghost kid. (Flies up.)
Danny (Reaches arm out.) Tuck, wait!
Tucker glares down at Danny, then turns and zooms off at a sonic speed.
Danny Whoa! I can't fly that fast. Is he getting more powerful?
Fade to the storefront of the Mr. Meat butcher shop. Tucker's head is sticking out of a platter of food in the window display. He is holding his PDA, video-chatting with Sam on it.
Sam (Off-screen; sneezes.) So, why didn't you guys see a movie today?
Tucker Uh, we got a little distracted.
Sam is seen on Tucker's PDA, blowing her nose on a tissue while resting in bed.
Tucker I'm just goofing off by myself now.
A man walks by on the sidewalk, and suddenly cringes in surprise at seeing Tucker's head.
Sam What happened? (A dog walks up to the window. Tucker sticks his tongue out at it, causing it to run away.) Danny have ghost trouble?
Tucker You might say that. So, how are ya?
Sam Ugh, it's horrible, Tucker. (Sneezes into tissue.) But somehow, I'll muddle through.
Tucker (voiceover) (Sam closes her laptop.) I didn't want to tell Sam about my new ghost powers yet. (Sam picks up a remote.) What if she got as jealous as Danny did?
Sam presses a button on the remote. A large set of speakers comes up out of the floor at the foot of her bed and blasts super-loud music that nearly blows her and her bed away. Fade to the exterior of Casper High.
Tucker (voiceover) And speaking of Danny...
Cut to Mr. Lancer in the hallway, about to drink from a water fountain. The fountain's handle suddenly spins around on its own, causing water to shoot into Mr. Lancer's face. He leans back in surprise.
Mr. Lancer Moby Dick!
Mr. Lancer's belt suddenly comes undone on its own, slides out of his belt loops, and falls to the floor. He notices and reaches down for the belt, but the fountain turns on and splashes water in his face again. His tie then comes undone on its own.
Mr. Lancer Gulliver's Travels! I'm losing my mind! (His pants fall down.) And my pants!
Students begin laughing around Mr. Lancer, and he glares at them. Tucker phases out of a wall around the corner and looks back at the scene, laughing. Danny comes up behind him and sniffs.
Danny Nice trick. Do you do kids' parties?
Tucker (Turns around.) Dude, relax. I'm just having fun. (Eyes widen at noticing Danny's condition.) You okay?
Danny I may be catching Sam's cold, but that's not important right now. Tucker, look.
Tucker No need. You can keep that superhero jazz to yourself. I'm in this for the kicks.

Danny

I was afraid of that. (Puts hand on Tucker's shoulder.) I hate to do this, pal, but I need to see what's going on inside of you, and there's only one way to do that.
Danny turns intangible and overshadows Tucker, who starts to glow green. His eyes turn red and he grunts as he fights back against Danny's presence and forces him out of his chest, projecting him towards a "Personnel Only" door. Danny phases through the door while yelling and crashes inside a janitor's closet. Tucker opens the door and glares down at Danny.
Tucker Don't ever do that again. Get it?
Danny Got it.
Tucker Good. (Walks away.) (Narrating, while Danny frowns:) Okay, maybe I was a little rough on Danny. But nobody likes a party pooper. And man, was I having a party.
Fade to the Casper High cafeteria. Students gasp in shock as an invisible Tucker walks by holding a lunch tray, so that it looks like it's floating on its own.
Tucker Excuse me, pardon me.
He sings to himself while he cuts to the front of the line and serves himself some food. The other students drop their trays and run away, screaming.
Cut to a music class, with students playing their instruments. An invisible Tucker phases through the ceiling, holding a bottle of purple soda and smiling mischievously. He pours the soda into the opening of a tuba. The tuba player stops playing, and soda squirts out of his nose, mouth, and ears.
Cut to the outside of Casper High. Tucker materializes behind a tree, peeking out from behind it.
Tucker Hmm, there's one little ghost trick I haven't tried yet: the ghost-imposed hookup.
Cut to Paulina walking along the path. Danny's ghost sense goes off, and he sees Tucker behind the tree watching Paulina.
Danny Oh no.
Tucker turns intangible and phases into Paulina, overshadowing her and causing her eyes to glow. She stops walking and puts a hand on her hip as Danny walks up to her.
Tucker (Overshadowing Paulina) I just wanted to let you know, I'm gonna start dating Tucker Foley. (Points at Danny.) He's much cooler than you are, so stop chasing me.
Danny Tucker, get out of there.
Tucker (Shakes head.) Why don't you make me?

Danny

Fine! I will!
Danny turns intangible and overshadows Paulina as well. She glows green during the action, then turns around and opens her eyes, which are glowing green as Danny takes charge of her body.
Danny (Overshadowing Paulina) Tucker, you're turning the whole school upside-down. How 'bout giving it a break?
Tucker (Turns Paulina's body around, her eyes glowing teal. Points.) How about getting off my back and letting me have a little fun?
Danny (Turns Paulina around, eyes glow green. Points.) Because your fun is kind of mean. (Jerks thumb over shoulder.) Now get out of Paulina!
Tucker (Turns Paulina around, eyes glow teal.) I was here first. You go.
Danny (Turns Paulina around, eyes glow green.) No, you!
Tucker (Turns Paulina around, eyes glow teal.) You! Babazita's genie (Points thumb at self) gave me these powers, and I'll use them how I want.
Danny phases out of Paulina and floats in the air invisibly.
Danny Then maybe I need to have a chat with this Babazita. (Flies off.)
Tucker (Overshadowing Paulina) Fine! But you and I (Cups hand to mouth) aren't friends anymore, Danny Fenton!
Paulina glows green and her eyes briefly turn red as Tucker phases out of her and flies off. Paulina is dazed.
Paulina Uh, what? Huh? (Looks around to see classmates watching her, confused.) And--I never was friends with you! (Points a finger up in the air while still looking around.)
Tucker (voiceover) It was our first argument, and we were having it over a girl. (Flies up high above the pathway.) Well, in one, actually. But, you get the point. (Flies off.)
Fade to Danny talking to Babazita at the swap meet, who jumps up on her table to explain and act out Desiree's story as Tucker narrates it.
Tucker (voiceover) That was my mistake, reminding Danny where the ghost came from. (Babazita starts to dance.) Apparently, Desiree was a harem girl (Fade to an image of a human Desiree dancing for a sultan) who had been promised her heart's desire: (Fade to the sultan pointing out a palace to Desiree) her own kingdom, (Fade to the sultan's wife pointing for Desiree to get out) only to be banished by the sultan's jealous wife. (Fade back to Danny.) She died of a broken heart. And old age. (Babazita mimes dying from old age.) (Fade to an image of ghost Desiree flying above a village.) After that, her spirit roamed, (Fade to Desiree granting a medieval man a bag of gold coins) granting people's deepest desires, (Fade to the man giving coins to a lady he loves as a sad Desiree watches) but at a great personal cost. (Fade back to Babazita.) Hey, who knew? (Babazita shrugs.)
Fade to Danny standing at a fountain in a park, holding a Fenton Thermos. He sniffs.
Danny If you're trying to snag a wishing ghost, what better place than a wishing well?
He flips a coin into the fountain and looks around expectantly, but nothing happens.
Danny Dang it. (Sneezes.)
He walks away, and a well-dressed man walks up to the fountain. He holds up a coin.
Man I wish I had a million bucks.
He flips the coin into the fountain, and a green mist comes out of the water and wraps itself around the man.
Desiree (Off-screen) So it is desired, so shall it be.
Danny turns around and notices what is happening.
Danny Huh?
Danny flashes his eyes green as he changes into Phantom. He runs over and grabs the man from the mist, holding him in his arms.
Danny Oh, no you don't.
Desiree (Materializing out of the fountain.) Young intruder, you dare to interfere with my spellbinding?!
Man Money isn't everything. (Jumps out of Danny's arms and runs away, screaming.)
Danny Listen, Desiree, I want you to take away Tucker's ghost powers, pronto.
Desiree I cannot. By noon tomorrow, your friend's fate will be sealed. (Laughs evilly.) His jealousy will transform him forever into the most powerful ghost boy in the world! (Laughs evilly.)
Danny Tuck? He's not that jealous. Is he?
Desiree More than you know. Tomorrow his jealousy and frustration will cement into rage and rebellion. He will be complete.
Desiree starts to fly off, but Danny grabs her tail.

Danny

You change him back!

Desiree

You dare lay a hand on me?! No man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it!
Danny Yeah? How 'bout a fist?
Danny tries to spin and punch Desiree, but she flies out of the way. She changes her left hand into a lasso and throws it around Danny's waist, catching him. He screams as she swings him up into the air and throws him back down on half of a wooden bench, crushing it as a lady feeds birds seed while sitting on the other half, oblivious. Desiree lets go of Danny and then zooms down towards him, but he shoots an ecto-blast at her.
Danny Get back!
The ecto-blast hits Desiree and she wails as she falls to the ground. She then smiles evilly and reaches a giant hand out, extending it and pinning Danny to the ground underneath it. She towers above him.
Danny (Struggling.) Aah! Can't break free! Can't go intangible and escape! (Suddenly spots the thermos lying a few feet from his head.)
Desiree You can't do anything unless I wish it!
Danny Or I do. (Grabs the thermos, uncaps it, and points it at Desiree.) I wish you would disappear inside this thermos!
Desiree What? (Retracts arm.) Nooo! I must obey. (While getting sucked into thermos:) You will pay for this! Paaaaaay!
Danny caps off the thermos.
Danny If I weren't a "C" student, I would've thought of that five days ago. Now to find Tuck. (Flies off.)
Fade to a Casper High hallway. The clock on the wall shows it's 11:45. Danny walks in and looks at the clock.
Danny Quarter to noon, and no sign of Tucker.
He suddenly stops in surprise and gasps as his ghost sense goes off. He looks up at the sign above the door next to him, which reads, "School Records."
Danny Should've guessed.
He phases through the door as Phantom to find Tucker typing at a computer. He is changing the grades on his permanent record to "A's."
Danny Tucker, you're changing your grades?! That's cheating!
Tucker (Turns around in desk chair.) I like to think of it as "academic enrichment." Want me to do yours?
Danny No way. Tucker, you're in real danger. (Reaches a hand out towards Tucker.)
Tucker leans back from his touch and growls as his body turns and glows green and his eyes turn red.
Danny (Puts hands up defensively.) Take it easy. We're friends, remember?
Tucker We're only friends on your terms. (Points thumb at self.) But now I make the rules around here. And my first rule is, "No more Danny Phantom."
Tucker sucks in a deep breath and blows out a powerful green breath that knocks Danny off his feet, causing him to scream and phase through the door and across the hallway through a set of lockers into a science classroom. He crashes into a blackboard and falls to the floor.
Danny He's getting more malevolent. More ghost-like.
Tucker phases into the classroom.
Danny (Stands.) Tuck, please! You have to listen to me. There isn't much time!
Tucker You got that right. (Brings hands back to charge up an ecto-blast.) Your time is up.
Tucker shoots the ecto-blast at Danny, who jumps out of the way and flies along the ceiling as Tucker tries to hit him with more ecto-blasts. Danny flies and lands behind Tucker, then flips off his beret over his head and jumps out of the way as Tucker swings and tries to punch him. Tucker then shoots multiple ecto-blasts at Danny as he runs behind a table of lab equipment, which the ecto-blasts hit. Tucker then reaches down and puts his beret back on, only to look up and see Danny throw a skeleton at him. He turns intangible and the skeleton phases through him, hitting the wall behind him.
Tucker Ha! Is that the best you can do?
Danny ducks behind the table as Tucker shoots more ecto-blasts at him.

Danny

Unfortunately, yes. I can't get through to him! (Pauses while getting an idea. Smiles.) But I know what can. (Jumps out to float in front of the table.) Catch me if you can, Sucker Phantom!
Danny turns intangible and smiles and waves as he phases down through the floor. Tucker goes over to the spot he phased through and yells at it.
Tucker That's Tucker Phantom! (Turns intangible.) Tucker! (Phases through the floor.)
Cut to the girls' locker room. Danny phases down through the ceiling and floats invisibly.
Danny The girls' locker room.
He phases into one of the lockers. Tucker phases down through the ceiling and turns tangible.
Tucker The girls' locker room... (Relaxes momentarily. Looks around.) So this is what it's like in here.
Danny suddenly comes in and stuffs a bra over Tucker's head, then grabs him and phases him through the wall into the basketball gym. He takes Tucker over to and stuffs him through the basketball hoop, smiling down at him. Tucker lands on his head, and the bra lands on his butt. Danny looks at the gym clock.

Danny

Only five minutes left. (To Tucker:) Ha! You got no game!
Tucker stands and glares, then transforms into a taller, more powerful and monster-like ghost while letting out a roar. He opens his eyes to reveal they are fully red now. Danny looks worried, but phases out through the wall of the gym, and Tucker follows. Outside up in the air, Tucker flies in chase after Danny, who suddenly vanishes. Tucker comes to a stop and floats.
Tucker Where are you? Where?!
Tucker's ghost sense suddenly goes off, and he turns around to see Danny, arms crossed and grinning knowingly, floating behind him.
Danny What's the matter? Can't catch what you can't see?
Tucker lunges after Danny and tries to grab him, but Danny vanishes into thin air again. Danny then reappears flying above Fenton Works, looking around for Tucker.

Danny

Where is he? He has to have followed me. (Looks behind him.) It's almost noon!
Danny suddenly stops as Tucker appears right in front of him.
Tucker Yo. (Yelling in Danny's face.) What's the dizzle, fizzle?
Tucker grabs Danny, turns them both intangible, and starts phasing him down through the levels of Fenton Works.
Danny (In fake acting tone:) No! Don't throw me into the Ghost Zone. Please!
Tucker I wasn't going to, but that is a great idea!
They phase down into the Fenton Works' lab. The clock on the wall shows that it is 11:59 and 51 seconds, and counting.
Danny I'm only gonna have one shot at this.
They turn tangible again. Danny, still in Tucker's grasp, starts to charge up his hands with ecto-blasts, but suddenly stops and tremendously sneezes all over Tucker prompting Tucker to let go of Danny.
Tucker Hey, cover your mouth!
Danny, whose fists are still charged up with green energy, lunges at Tucker and hits him, sending him backwards through the Fenton Ghost Catcher, separating Tucker and the ghost of Tucker Phantom, with Tucker falling to the floor. He opens his eyes to see the ghost leering over him.
Tucker Is...Is that me? (Points.)
The ghost growls at him and roars as Tucker cowers, but then frantically looks back to see Danny sucking him into the thermos.
Danny No, it's not you, Tuck. Not anymore.
Tucker walks up to Danny as he caps off the thermos.
Tucker Oh, man, Danny. I'm sorry. I--I couldn't control myself.
Danny Dude, don't worry about it. (Sniffs.) You were under the genie's spell, and you broke it.
Tucker Yeah, but none of that would've happened if I wasn't jealous.
Danny Or if I had been a little less of a show-off around you. (Sticks hand out.) Friends?
Tucker The best. (Grabs Danny's hand.)
They walk off. Behind them, in the tent, Maddie and Jack peek out and look around, then look at each other and shrug, then close the tent flap again.
Fade to the exterior of the Foley residence.
Tucker (voiceover) Tucker Foley, digital journal, Saturday. They say, "Be careful what you wish for." To that, I'd like to add a big, fat "Duh!"
Cut to a very sick Tucker sitting with a pillow behind his head, blankets wrapped around him and a thermometer in his mouth, typing on his PDA with the stylus.

Tucker

(voiceover) Especially when it comes to best friends.
Zoom out to show a very sick Danny sitting next to Tucker on a couch. He also has a pillow behind his head as well as an ice pack on top of it, and is wrapped in blankets like Tucker. Tucker looks over at Danny, smiling.
Tucker (voiceover) 'Cause I couldn't wish for a better one.
Danny and Tucker both sneeze at the same time. Sam walks in, carrying a tray with two bowls of hot soup.
Sam Jeez, do you guys have to share everything?
Danny (Smiling.) You don't know the half of it.
Danny and Tucker look and smile at each other. The screen closes in on Tucker.
