PART TWO
Fade in to the sky. A
wall is in the foreground nearby. Danny flies up through the sky with his
ghostly tail, seen from the back. His hands are raised.
Zoom out to show
Jasmine from the back, arm bent and palm flat, completely stunned. Tucker and Sam are further away and also seen from the back, Tucker
holding his cone.
Cut to Tucker and Sam
from the back. Tucker turns his head around. He turns the rest of the way,
gritting his teeth and perspiring. Sam turns around as well, wondering what
Tucker saw.
Cut to Jasmine,
looking up. She leans forward and points up with one hand.
JASMINE: Did you see that?!
Cut to Tucker and Sam,
Tucker looking up with his cone in one hand and his other arm at his side with his
fingers out, completely taken off-guard. Sam just stands there. By them are a
couple of trash cans with water leaking from under them.
JASMINE: (offscreen) Tell me
I didn’t--
Jasmine runs onscreen
holding a finger in the air.
JASMINE: --see what I--
She looks up with
caution and presses her fists together.
JASMINE: --just saw!
Cut to Tucker with his
cone. He holds up his palm.
TUCKER: I-It’s not what (shrugs,
perspires, and smiles weakly) you think, Jazz.
Sam’s hand reaches
onscreen and takes Tucker’s cone. She shoves it in his mouth, gagging him and
coating his lips in pink.
SAM: (offscreen)
Of course it’s not.
Tucker opens his eyes.
Pan right to Sam with her hand up and eyes closed in a matter-of-fact way.
SAM: Ghost’s aren’t (looks
up and shrugs) real.
She leans her head to
the right.
SAM: Jazz, (puts down
one arm and points up with the other) you sound like--
Close-up on Jasmine.
SAM: (offscreen) --your
father.
Jasmine puts a finger
around her chin and thinks.
SAM: (Jasmine’s
thought) “He keeps some things to himself…”
Jasmine’s eyes narrow
as she looks more to the right.
TUCKER: (Jasmine’s
thought) “We’re Danny’s friends. That means we keep his secrets--
Jasmine’s eyes pop
wide.
TUCKER: (Jasmine’s
thought) --*from* you?”
Cut to Sam looking up
at Jasmine, who is zoning out.
SAM: Jazz?
JASMINE: Oh!
Jasmine puts a hand to
her mouth and looks down to Sam.
JASMINE: Oh, of course.
She laughs weakly. Cut
to Jasmine as she lifts her palms over her shoulders, looking up to the right.
JASMINE: My parents are such loons,--
Jasmine puts down one
arm and puts her other palm out.
JASMINE: --it’s rubbing off!
Jasmine puts a palm to
her face and looks down at her pink wristwatch.
JASMINE: Oh my gosh,--
Cut to Jasmine, Tucker
and Sam. Jasmine looks down at her watch and waves out her hand from her face.
JASMINE: --is it that late?
She curls her fingers
into fists by her cheeks.
JASMINE: I’ve gotta work on my (uncurls her fingers into palms) Spirit Week speech!
She turns to the right
and runs off.
Cut to Tucker and Sam. Tucker puts a hand on
his head, and Sam puts a hand on her chest.
TUCKER and SAM: Phew!
Cut to inside the
drugstore, high over the floor. There’s an aisle with a sign that says “PHARMACY Rx” over it where a man in a red jacket and hat is taking something from
the shelf. A man in a green shirt is on the other side by a stand that says “Cold
& Flu”. A woman with curly auburn
hair is walking past an aisle for “MOVIES”. A woman in pink is looking at some shelf in the back. There’s also an
aisle with “GREETING CA(RDS)”. The people go about there business as Danny flies up onscreen, completely
invisible. He takes off to the top of the screen, his ghostly tail behind him.
Cut to Paulina,
holding an open lipstick in one hand and holding a mirror in another, looking
at her pursed, pink lips. She puts down her lipstick, annoyed, as Bertrand
hovers in behind her, smiling with his hands clasped. Paulina closes her eyes.
PAULINA: Do you mind? (turns to Bertrand, her hair is in the mirror) I was here--
She looks up with her
eyes popping in surprise.
PAULNIA: (scared) --first?
She runs off as
Bertrand roars with his clawed hands out and all his sharp teeth showing. The
background becomes a red action background. Bertrand swings his head
side-to-side with his tongue flapping and ectoplasmic, green spit flying from
his mouth.
Cut to the counter. There’s a lot of lipsticks and compacts on it next to
Paulina. A shopping bag is near a rack of blushes and nail polishes. Paulina is
a little scared at the sight, but the woman is completely frightened, her mouth
gaping open and her fingers curled into fists near her head. Green spit
droplets come toward them. The woman and Paulina close their eyes, raise their
heads and shriek.
Cut to Danny Phantom
flying in a dark blue-gray action background with his fists in front. He does a
mid-air somersault and now has his legs outstretched in front, his fists
clenched at his sides.
Cut to Bertrand with a
big, fat belly, smiling as he hovers over Paulina and the lady, seen from the
back. Danny plows feet-first into Bertrand and shoves him left offscreen.
Paulina and the lady turn to Danny.
Cut to a rack of
sunglasses labeled “SUNGLASSES”.
There are signs with glasses and eyes on
them. Bertrand falls into the shot from the right, coating the rack with his
goopy green body and displacing many pairs. One pair lands on his eyes. Danny
lands safely with his hands up, seen from the back, getting into a fighting
stance. Bertrand oozes into a blob form on the floor.
Cut to Bertrand. He
takes off the sunglasses to reveal his solid red eyes and growls.
Cut to Danny with a
fist near his chin.
DANNY: I know you need your makeup, but you’re just (narrows his eyes) gonna have to wait
your turn!
Cut to Danny and
Bertrand with three pairs of sunglasses on the floor. Danny is standing in a
stance, Bertrand waves his arm to smack him away, looking with a snooty
expression. Danny grunts in pain as he is flung offscreen. Bertrand looks to
the side as red and yellow stars appear from the left and dissipate.
Cut to a table with
books, one with an alien on it. On the ceiling is a book with text reading “Book
Cut to Bertrand. He
tucks his arms by his side and charges a jagged-y ball of green energy. Pan
right as the ball comes forward like a comet with rings behind it.
Cut to Danny, sitting
down by the book counter and looking forward with his hands spread out in
terror. Nearby a boy is looking at disks with a pair of headphones on, two people
in the back are by a banner reading “Clearance” and the
exit door. Some clothes are on the right. Danny flies over the counter and
looks down with his legs in a splits as the energy
ball fries the whole counter. Pages and books fly everywhere.
Cut to two
dark-skinned boys by the music counter. One in a green shirt with a D medallion
is wearing purple headphones and holding a red disk. The other is in a red hoodie and hat and holding a yellow disk. Signs read “Rock”, “Hip Hop”, “Music” and “
Cut to two girls by a
clothes rack. Signs read “
Cut to Danny hovering.
He dodges to the right as a green blast narrowly misses grazing him. He puts
his hands over his head and ducks, looking up with one eye open as the shot
goes over him.
Cut to a part of the
store near the pharmacy. Tucker and Sam run up from the left as a bunch of
other people run and scream in the other direction. Tucker and Sam look behind
them, then turn forward.
Cut to Danny hovering
in fear. Bertrand flies up and punches Danny down. Danny grunts in pain as the
screen pans right-down over the aisles.
Cut to a rack of
identical purple backpacks. There’s a sign above reading “Backpacks”. Danny plunges back-first into the rack, causing the backpacks to go
flying. Three remain untouched. Danny falls and lands on the rack with his
hands supporting him.
Cut to Bertrand.
BERTRAND: You’re not very good at this,--
Bertrand arches an
eyebrow and puts out a hand.
BERTRAND: --are you?
Cut to Danny by the
rack. He’s bending down with his hands down offscreen
DANNY: Yeah, well, (gets
up) Maybe I don’t need to be to--
Close-up on Danny.
DANNY: --beat you!
Cut to Bertrand
hovering over the floor of the pharmacy in front of the exit. A book, broken
disks, and sunglasses are strewn on the floor. The doors smolder in the back.
Bertrand turns with his arm across his body, then
radiates a lot of green light as he swoops down to the floor and morphs into a
large, carnivorous cat. The light vanishes in a few sparkles.
Close up on Bertrand’s
red eyes. They narrow in a terrible glare as he growls.
Cut to Bertrand. He
takes a few steps, and then pounces forward on a navy action background, his
mouth open as he growls loudly.
Cut to Danny, looking
scared. He braces himself and turns his lower body into a ghostly tail. He
leans to the right offscreen as Bertrand comes in and bites a part of his
ghostly body, smiling with a small rip of fabric in his teeth.
Many of us question the “left behind” fabric
when Danny is clearly unscathed in the next shot. Of course, in the early days,
morphing was still considered a power. And in those days, Danny could use it to
get out of grasp like in PB with misting and in AotKGS
when he uses his tail to fly out of the hair hornet’s cord loop.
Cut to a corner of the
wall. Danny steps back into the corner with his hand to the wall, clutching his
side and grunting in pain. He opens his eyes. Zoom out to reveal Bertrand.
DANNY: Then again…
Bertrand turns his
head around.
TUCKER: (offscreen)
Hey!
Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: Get away from him!
Sam comes up. Tucker
points a finger.
Cut to Danny in the
corner with Bertrand. Bertrand flies offscreen with his ghostly body.
Cut to Tucker and Sam
looking angrily at Bertrand, who flies into the shot from the right and lands,
looking up at them with his tail waving. Tucker and Sam step back in fear.
Cut to Tucker as
Bertrand’s face comes onscreen, growling with glee.
TUCKER: Or, don’t. (smiles weakly) Seriously, (shrugs and looks behind him) it’s open for (looks down at Bertrand, scared) discussion.
Cut to a shot. Danny
pops up onscreen.
DANNY: No!
Danny takes flight,
panning up as he flies forward and offscreen.
DANNY: You leave them alone!
Cut to another shot.
Danny swoops around and down to the left.
Cut to Tucker, Sam and Bertrand. All three look to the
left. Tucker and Sam brace themselves as Danny flies in from the left and
tackles Bertrand offscreen. Tucker and Sam turn to the right, Tucker is smiling
and Sam is concerned.
Cut to a navy action
background. Danny is holding Bertrand in his arms. They tussle.
Cut to the floor.
There some charring on it, loose leaf paper is on the floor and a pile of
tapes, too. Danny lands with his back to the floor with Bertrand on top of him,
his paws on Danny’s wrists. Danny grunts in pain.
Cut to Danny under the
paws. He looks up and struggles as his fingers vibrate. His head moves side to
side as he grunts with effort.
Cut to Bertrand with
Danny beneath.
BERTRAND: Oh, look! The little (tilts his head aside) lo-ser ghost has a few (looks at Danny) baby (narrows
his eyes) helpers!
Cut to Danny. Zoom in
as his eyes pop open.
DANNY: Do-- (eyes
twitch) --not-- (eyes narrow as he
perspires) --call-- (closes his eyes
and releases his fingers) --me- (chest
vibrates as he shouts) A *LOSER*!
Here’s a clue, Danny. Who else calls you a
loser and a baby? Spectra, of course.
Cut to Bertrand
standing on top of Danny. Danny lifts his legs and kick Bertrand over his body.
Cut to a freezer. It
reads “Soda”. Bertrand is knocked back-first and
upside-down into the glass. He falls down leaving a shattered imprint.
Cut to the aisles.
Danny flies up and back with two hands blazing green. He thrusts them forward
and grunts with effort in one large green beam. He backs up a little as the
beam increases intensity and becomes a white beam with green edges.
Cut to Bertrand in
front of the freezer with the broken door that says “Soda Pop Stop” with the stop part in a stop sign. Bertrand jumps to the right out of
the way as the blast destroys the whole freezer, with cans and orange-and-red
bottles all over the floor on pink puddles, pink smoke billows from the wreck.
Cut to a fallen table
with water on it. Bertrand peeks from behind it.
Cut to a pile of
debris with pink smoke billowing from it. Zoom out to reveal the whole store
with broken and fallen items. Tucker is looking down to the right, Sam down to
the left. Danny is hovering in front of them and looking up behind him. They
all turn forward.
Cut to Bertrand,
sit/standing by a cracked table.
BERTRAND: Well, (bows
his head) that’s enough damage (glows
green) for one afternoon!
Bertrand morphs into a
blob again. The light vanishes as he flies to the left.
Cut to the ceiling.
Blinds are drawn. Bertrand phases through the ceiling and waves his hand.
BERTRAND: *Ta*!
Pan down the window to
reveal a shocked Jasmine with her hands on the pane outside. She looks down to
the left, then ducks out of view.
Cut to Tucker and Sam. Sam has a hand on her
chin, Tucker is looking up behind him. Danny falls to the ground safely as
Tucker looks at him. He puts a hand behind his neck.
TUCKER: I sure hope they’re insured.
Sam looks at Danny.
Danny slumps over.
DANNY: *Great*.
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: He got away again. Another (raises his arms and looks in sarcasm) ringing endorsement (puts down his arms and looks behind him) for
the town screw-up.
Danny flies away. Pan
left to Tucker and Sam, looking up. They look at each other in disappointment.
Cut to the top of the
building from outside. Danny comes up from the top and flies away with his
ghostly tail behind him. Zoom out to reveal Jasmine from behind, looking at
Danny.
Cut to Jasmine, now
understanding. Zoom in.
Fade to FentonWorks.
Zoom in.
Cut to Danny sitting
alone at the kitchen table. His face is supported by his hand with the elbow on
the table. Zoom in.
Fade to Danny,
twirling his fork over his peas. He’s also eating a chicken leg, mashed
potatoes, and a glass of milk. Some peas have rolled off the plate and onto the
placemat.
This reminds me of a fairly recent Strong Bad
E-mail. If you get over to a slumber party where they are having a meal at a
table, with chicken in a pan, and some salad, and a glass of milk to drink, then
you’d better start running, because that family has some serious health
problems. Meep!
Cut to the doorway.
Jasmine walks in.
Cut to Danny, still
twirling his peas. He looks over at Jasmine, upset.
Cut to Jasmine. She
blinks.
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: What?
Cut to Jasmine.
JASMINE: Nothing.
Jasmine walks to the
right.
Cut to Danny at the
table, holding his fork in front of his chicken as Jasmine walks up. She leans
in and puts a hand on her chin to observe Danny. She pinches Danny on the arm, who wigs out in shock. Danny grabs his arm where Jasmine
pinched it.
DANNY: What?!
Cut to Jasmine. She
leans back a little and smiles.
JASMINE: Nothing. Uh,--
Jasmine puts down her
arm and put another on her hip.
JASMINE: --so, uh, (clasps
her hands together) Danny?
Cut to Danny, rubbing
his arm.
JASMINE: (offscreen) I
know I’ve been kind of hard on you lately.
Zoom out to reveal
Jasmine sitting on the table by Danny’s milk. Danny puts his hand on his cheek.
JASMINE: But you know I think you’re great, right?
DANNY: Yeah, right. (looks down away from Jasmine) That’s not what I hear.
Jasmine lifts her
hands. Danny looks to her.
JASMINE: Then you’ve heard wrong!
Cut to Jasmine.
JASMINE: Look, I know you think I’m pushy, (looks up behind her) and I’m a
know-it-all, (smiles) I know you
think (looks down to Danny) I can be
a jerk sometimes…
Cut to Danny with his
fist on his cheek, smug.
Cut to Jasmine. She
arches her eyebrows.
JASMINE: You know, you can stop me
at any time.
Cut back to a smug
Danny.
DANNY: I know.
Cut to Danny and
Jasmine.
Jasmine sighs. Danny
stops smiling.
JASMINE: All I’m saying is (looks to Danny, smiling) I’m your sister, (puts out a hand) and I care about you.
Danny puts down his
arm as Jasmine places one on his shoulder-chest area, raising the other by her.
JASMINE: And even though you don’t think I’ll understand--
Close-up on Jasmine. She narrows her eyes.
JASMINE: --you can talk to me about *anything*.
Close up on Danny. He
looks down, ashamed.
Cut to Danny and
Jasmine.
DANNY: Um…
A crash is heard. The
screen rattles as Jasmine and Danny lift their arms and pop open their eyes.
Cut to a part of the
kitchen over a counter. Smoldering is seen from in the next room. Danny and
Jasmine run up and put their hands on the counter to see what it is.
Cut to a totally
destroyed and charred piece of furniture. It’s smoldering. Zoom out to show
Jack smiling and holding the Peeler with Maddie with her hand on her head. Jack
turns to Maddie and lifts an arm toward the zapped object.
JACK: I’m just saying--
Cut to Jack.
JACK: --if we could (points
over his shoulder with his thumb) find that ghost at Jazz’s school we (clasps the Peeler in both hands)
could’ve peeled that ghost like an (turns
to the left) onion!
Cut to Maddie.
MADDIE: Well we can’t *completely* vaporize it. Don’t you
want to at least examine (shrugs) the
remains?
In early episodes, the Fentons say a lot of
nasty threats to ghosts, because most ghosts aren’t cared about for their
feelings. I’m surprised Nick still aired it, but then again, they still air some
fairly painful beatings where characters get shiners and crutches afterwards.
Meep!
Of course, had the Fentons had the Peeler all
the way back in SI… let’s just say
Cut to Jasmine and
Danny. Danny is absolutely scared, and Jasmine is holding her hand on his
shoulder. Danny looks down dejectedly. Then he gets angry. He lifts his arms
away from Jasmine as she turns around in distress.
DANNY: I-I don’t feel like--
Danny turns around and
leaves, Jasmine puts down her hand.
DANNY: --talking about it.
Cut to Jasmine,
poignant.
JASMINE: Yeah, I’d imagine not.
Jasmine smiles.
Cut to Danny with his
arms crossed. Jasmine is behind him. Jasmine walks up and gently takes Danny’s
shoulders, kissing him on the back of the head. Then she walks off to the
right. Danny turns her head to her. Zoom in. He lowers his eyebrows and smiles.
Then his eyes turn to the camera in realization.
DANNY: Aw, *gross*!
Dennis agrees. Of course, when her sister
kisses her, it’s for a bothering stunt. And she usually will do it three times
in an unprecedented fashion. Danny, be happy your sister cares more than mine.
Fade to
SAM: (offscreen) Um,
is it me?
Zoom in.
Cut to the trio. Sam
is seen from the back with a salmon book in one hand and the other on her him.
Danny is holding an identical book and has his locker door in the other. Tucker
is leaning on the lockers and is holding the same salmon book. Sam turns around.
SAM: Or is this--
Sam turns around,
holding out her palm.
SAM: --the worst Spirit Week in the history of Casper High
Spirit Weeks?
I’m guessing today is Wednesday, and Spectra’s
got a big to-do planned. Of course, usually during a Spirit Week, high schools
tend to make up strange things like “Pajama Day”, “Hero Day”, “Decades Day”,
“Class Color Day”, or “School Color Day”. Why is no one in costume?
Cut to a shot of the hall. A banner overhead reads “SPIRIT
WEEK!” in big burgundy letters. Six
students are looking depressed and groaning, three carry the same salmon books
and two are at their lockers. One boy walks with his shoulders slumped.
Cut to Dash and Kwan with their shoulders slumped and their hair messy.
DASH: Another day,--
Cut to Dash.
DASH: --another 24 hours closer to
a career of pumping gas.
No one pumps gas
anymore. Not often, anyway. Most pumps are automatic. Besides, gas stations are
frequented by ghosts, ever since all the good haunts were taken.
Cut to Kwan.
KWAN: At least you’ll (puts out a palm) have a job! (slumps and looks
down) Apparently I’m gonna end up a hobo!
His eyes pop open. Kwan puts his fists together vibrating and begins to
cry.
KWAN: I didn’t know they *had*
hobos anymore!
Cut to Paulina and Valerie. Paulina has disheveled hair and is clutching
her face. Valerie is slumped over, tired, and holding her
face in one hand while looking back to Paulina. They walk past Danny,
Tucker and Sam. The three turn their heads as the girls pass.
PAULINA: Did you wrinkles can
start emerging as early as your (eyes pop
open) mid-twenties?
Cut to Danny, Sam and
Tucker from the back. The three turn around. Sam puts a hand on her hip.
DANNY: And to make it worse, (looks to the left) we’re all gonna have to sit through Jazz’s
idiotic speech (turns with a hand far out
at his side) when she tries to put the (mockingly
smiles and makes a thumbs-up) *I* back in Spirit! (slumps over again) or some other
nonsense.
Cut to Jasmine holding
an identical salmon-colored book, gleefully skipping as other depressed people
watch in the background.
DANNY: (offscreen) What the heck is she so happy about?
Cut to the trio
holding their books. Danny looks mad, Tucker and Sam look worried. They all
look at Sam as she brings out her palm.
SAM: Don’t ask me.
Cut to Sam. She arches
her eyebrow.
SAM: I’m usually the sour one around here, (points over her shoulder with her thumb) but
compared to everyone else, (puts down her
hand and smiles a dark smile) I’m the Goth bird of happiness.
So is Dennis. Well, she’s more the
apathetic/robotic one. Slightly intimidating, too. But
when everyone’s depressed, she actually looks happier. Meep?
Cut to Tucker, looking
gleeful. He has one hand in his pocket. Danny’s arm is in the foreground.
TUCKER: Me too! (turns to Danny) And we’re the only two people in this
school who *haven’t* had a session with Dr. Spectra.
Cut to Danny, looking
depressed. He straightens up and his eyes pop open in realization.
DANNY: Wait a minute!
Danny reaches to the
right offscreen and takes Tucker’s PDA, turning back to the left. Tucker leans
into the shot.
DANNY: Let me see something.
Cut to the PDA in
Danny’s hand. It’s full of static. Danny’s thumb presses a button and a picture
of Danny in the ridiculously large top hat, sash and diaper is looking at four
bystanders laughing, and blue mist is coming from his mouth.
TUCKER (offscreen) Uh,--
Close up on Danny and
Tucker. Tucker is holding up a finger, Danny is looking down solemnly at the
PDA.
TUCKER: --I was gonna delete that.
Tucker puts down his
finger and makes a nervous smile.
DANNY: Glad you (rolls
his eyes to look at Tucker) didn’t.
Danny and Tucker look
down at the PDA.
DANNY: Look at that!
Cut to the picture in
the PDA with Danny’s ghost sense going off.
DANNY: (offscreen) I
kept thinking I was seeing my breath,--
The PDA goes to static,
then a closer shot of the ghost sense appears on the
PDA.
DANNY: --that it was cold.
Cut to Danny holding
the PDA. Sam and Tucker look at Danny from behind him. Students walk in the
background.
DANNY: But what if that’s my ghost sense?
Danny looks back to
Tucker and Sam, the two look at Danny.
DANNY: What if Spectra is somehow making people *more*
miserable?
Close up on Danny.
DANNY: What if… (arches his eyebrows) she’s a ghost?
Cut to Sam.
SAM: Only one way to--
Zoom in. Sam arches
her eyuebrow and smiles.
SAM: --find out!
Cut to outside the
door that reads “Penelope
Spectra”. Tucker opens the door, Sam is
standing next to him. Both are slumped over and miserable, Sam has disheveled
hair
TUCKER: I *hate* my life.
Tucker puts down his
hand as both he and Sam walk away.
SAM: I hate your life more.
Spectra walks out the door and puts her hand on
the knob, wriggling her fingers on her other hand. Her hair is paler than
usual.
SPECTRA: Buh-bye!
Cut to Spectra. Her
hair is paler and wrinkles are visible on her cheeks, forehead and eyes. She
leans forward and points up a finger.
SPECTRA: And remember, (leans
back and waves her palm out) there’s only an (points up her finger) “I” in misery if you (turns to the door) spell it that way!
That line was a little weak on pep. You think
she’s running out of witty puns?
She walks inside and
slams the door. Zoom out to change the angle to reveal the sign that reads “Penelope Spectra”. Danny, invisible, creeps up with his fist
up and his back facing the door. He turns to the door and phases inside with
his ghostly tail following.
Cut to inside the
office. Danny is phasing down through the door, where he floats quietly as he
observes what goes on next. Zoom out to reveal Spectra standing with her hands
up and a ring of wispy, green ghostly energy surrounding her.
Cut to Spectra. She
opens her eyes and looks up at the ring of energy above her, taking it all in
through her nose. She sighs as her body glows green with shine and sparkles,
restored to its full vitality.
Cut to Spectra’s desk
with three folders on it. She sits down on her desk.
SPECTRA: *Man*, that’s good!
She turns to the
folders on her desk.
SPECTRA: I’m gonna miss these kids.
Cut to the folders.
One shows a picture of Sam, reading “FILE: SAMANTHA MANSON” and
has a red tab. There’s one over it reading “FILE: TUCKER FOLEY” with a photo of Tucker and a yellow tab.
There are folders with a purple tab and a green tab beneath them. Spectra
pushes Tucker’s folder aside.
Close-up on Spectra.
SPECTRA: They’re a waterfall of misery.
Cut to an aerial shot
of Spectra. She looks to the wall as Bertrand in his blob form phases through
it. She turns to the wall as Bertrand resumes his color.
Cut to Spectra.
SPECTRA: There you are! (smiles and raises her fists in glee) You hooked up the
device?
Cut to Spectra from
the back looking up at Bertrand hovering over her. Bertrand waves his arm down.
BERTRAND: Of course.
Cut to Bertrand. He
clasps his hands together.
BERTRAND: And when the Spirit Sparklers go off (raises his arms out) vaporizing the
only--
Bertrand closes his
eyes and raises his palms in front of him.
BERTRAND: --chipper kid left in (waves down his hands) entire school--
Cut to an invisible
Danny, completely shaken.
BERTRAND: (offscreen) --there’ll
be enough misery and anguish in that room to--
Cut to Spectra,
leaning over and smiling as Bertrand floats up to her with his fingers curled.
BERTRAND: --keep us looking young--
Spectra and Bertrand
clasp their hands together in glee.
BERTRAND: --*forever*!
Cut to a farther shot
of Spectra and Bertrand so an invisible Danny is in the shot, seen from the
back. Spectra looks up in shock and Danny turns around
suddenly as the bell rings.
Cut to Bertrand and
Spectra. Spectra puts a hand on her hip.
SPECTRA: Well, there’s the bell!
Spectra puts her hands across her in a showing
fashion as Bertrand puts a finger to his mouth.
SPECTRA: Shall we go hear a speech,--
Spectra and Bertrand
lean in to each other and clasp each other’s hands.
SPECTRA: --and bum some more kids out?
Spectra and Bertrand
turn white and glow all green with energy.
Cut to Danny hovering
invisibly over the two glowing ghosts, seen from the back. Pan left as the
energy streams through the wall. Danny flies onscreen and lands, resuming his
color.
Cut to Danny. Zoom in.
DANNY: *Jazz*!
Fade to the school
gym. There’s a banner over the door reading “SPIRIT WEEK”.
Kids are sitting in the bleachers. Pan out to show four cheerleaders with
pom-poms.
CHEERLEADERS: (half-heartedly)
Two. Four.
Cut to the
Cheerleaders. Pan across them. One is dark-skinned with a large, dark brown
bun. The next is fair-skinned with two yellow-orange pigtails. The third is a
red-head with a short hairdo and a pigtail on the top of her head. The last one
has long, brown hair with a red headband. All have red-and-white pom-poms with
red-and-white uniforms that look like the reverse colors of Danny’s shirt. They
are all slumped over with eyes closed.
CHEERLEADERS: Six. Eight.
Just as a random observation, the third
cheerleader reminds me of Vid of the Master’s
Blasters. Hey, they had to be someone, and if she was a cheerleader, it would
explain her agility and bad attitude like the other Blasters. Meep!
Lancer walks up into
the foreground as all the girls look up at him.
LANCER: *Hey*!
Cut to Lancer over the
heads of the girls. The Spirit Week banner is behind him.
LANCER: (eyes shifting
over them) What’s the matter with you kids? You
call *that* a cheer?
Lancer bends down.
Zoom out as he stands up straight and smiles with a pair of pom-poms, the brunette
and the girl with pigtails look up at him from the back.
Cut to Jasmine at a
white podium with a red C on it. A red banner above her reads
“Go!!
LANCER: (jumping in
the air) We’ve got the spirit, (lands and thrusts to the right) yes we
do!
Lancer performs a high
leg kick, then jump up in the air again on the left.
LANCER: We’ve got the spirit,--
He lands, kicks his
leg, then shoves his butt in front of the students.
LANCER: --how about you?!
Cut to a crowd of
students at the bleachers. They all look depressed and are frowning. Some have
their chins in their hands. Crickets chirp. Pan right across to show Kwan and
Dash and other kids, all very miserable.
Cut to Jasmine at the
podium.
JASMINE: O-kay…
Cut to Bertrand
walking in the hallway in his human form, his hands behind him. He looks up and
smiles.
BERTRAND: After we’ve destroyed everything, (clasps his fists together) you up for a
cappuccino?
Cut to Spectra and
Bertrand walking by. Spectra is wearing sunglasses.
She raises her hands.
SPECTRA: Ooh, that’s a (turns
a little a puts a hand on her chest) marvelous idea!
The setting suddenly
darkens as Bertrand is knocked away by a green ectoplasmic energy blast,
grunting in pain. Spectra braces herself in shock. She
looks to where Bertrand was knocked to.
Close up on Spectra
from the back. She turns her head.
Cut to Danny floating
in the hallway with one hand blazing green.
DANNY: I (hands stops
blazing) figured it out, finally.
Cut closer to Danny.
He raises a fist.
DANNY: You feed on misery, don’t you?
Cut to Spectra with
one hand on her hip and the other on her glasses. She looks over them.
SPECTRA: I’m sorry, (puts
out a hand) can I help you?
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: No, (lowers his
eyebrows in seriousness) I’m sure you can’t.
Cut to Spectra,
stunned.
DANNY: (offscreen) You can’t help anyone--
Spectra smiles and
raises her glasses over her eyes.
DANNY: --except yourself.
Spectra puts down her arm.
Cut to Danny, floating
from the back. Spectra is looking at him. She bends
down as Danny spreads out his arms, taking flight offscreen as Spectra steps
forward and almost grabs him. She puts down her arms and looks over her
sunglasses, annoyed, looking back to Danny, who floats down behind her.
DANNY: You find that *one* thing that a kid’s most afraid
of.
Cut to Spectra from
the back. She looks up over her shoulder and smiles evilly.
DANNY: (offscreen) Their future.
She turns around and
crosses her arms.
Cut to Bertrand with
one knee on the ground. He gets up and holds the sides of his black jacket.
DANNY: (offscreen)
Their looks.
Cut to Danny, looking
down as he hovers.
DANNY: Their confidence.
He looks down at
himself with realization, then leans upward in the air.
DANNY: And you pick at it--
Close up on Spectra
with her evil smile. She arches her eyebrow.
DANNY: (offscreen) --and
pick at it--
Cut to Danny in the
air.
DANNY: --while your snippy little ghost assistant--
Danny looks back and
points a thumb over his shoulder.
DANNY: --feeds on it!
Cut to a row of
lockers. Bertrand steps into the scene.
BERTRAND: *Hey*!
Cut to Spectra,
gleefully clapping her hands while Danny floats in the foreground.
SPECTRA: Very good!
Cut to Spectra. She
puts down her hands and leans forward, opening her eyes to reveal them to be a
gradient red. Zoom out to show Spectra in a red-tinted hallway with a ring of
purple fire around her, the fire has a green aura.
SPECTRA: But I fear you’ve--
Spectra crouches down,
the fire ring spreads into a low rings of smoke.
SPECTRA: --missed a few--
She stands up and
morphs into a black, spectral shape with purple and green smoke billowing
around her, green energy from her hands connect from the smoke on the floor.
SPECTRA: --details!
Close up on Spectra
with her jagged-toothed smile. Her head bends down in a dramatic way.
Cut to Spectra on the
floor with the ring of purple smoke and her hands glowing green. She flies into
the air with a red action background.
Cut to Danny, scared
as he is bent over and looking down. He yelps out and bends his back straight,
turning to the right. Bertrand in his cougar form pounces from the right and
grabs Danny, forcing him offscreen. Spectra floats up
in a stance with her hands glowing green.
Cut to a bulletin
board with flyers of all sorts on it. Danny and Bertrand phase through it, both
are an intangible blue.
Cut to an aerial shot
of the gym. People are in the bleachers, bored and depressed. Lancer is
standing by the array of dominoes. Jasmine is at the podium giving her speech.
The Go!!
JASMINE: (with the
microphone) In this, our centennial year--
Cut to Jasmine at the
podium, smiling.
JASMINE: (with the
microphone) --we pay tribute to the past with these--
Zoom out to show the
dominoes in the foreground, Jasmine looks up.
JASMINE: --ceremonial dominoes.
She waves out a palm
and looks down.
JASMINE: Each of which will fall into the next and--
Cut to Jasmine. She
points upward.
JASMINE: (with the
microphone) --and finally trigger the ceremonial--
Cut to a blue dish.
The end receptor sparkles.
JASMINE: (with the
microphone) --Spirit Sparklers!
Cut to Lancer,
shifting his eyes. He raises his arms up high.
LANCER: (half-heartedly)
Woo! (smiles)
Cut to the bleachers.
The crowd of students are all bored and depressed.
Some blink. Crickets chirp.
Cut to Lancer with his
arms raised by the array of dominoes. He lowers his arms, irked. He bends down
with a finger out.
Cut to Lancer’s finger
by the array of dominoes, each having an assorted number of white dots on each
side. He pushes the first one and they begin to fall down in a column.
Cut to a domino. Pan
back to the row of dominoes behind it as they fall in sequence.
Cut to outside the
school; a brick wall. There’s some shrubs nearby. The
whole scene is tinted red. Danny and Bertrand phase through the wall in an
intangible blue, Bertrand has his mouth open in Danny’s face and is roaring.
Cut to a tree trunk.
Bertrand slams Danny back-first into it, holding Danny by the shoulders while
Danny holds Bertrand by the arms. They resume full color as Danny grunts in
pain. Danny pops his eyes open in surprise.
Cut to Bertrand. Danny
is holding his arms.
BERTRAND: You thought you were going to stop us? *You*?
Close-up on a
determined Danny in Bertrand’s clutches.
BERTRAND: (offscreen) You’re just a--
Danny tilts his head.
BERTRAND: --frightened--
Danny looks forward.
BERTRAND: --little kid!
Cut to Danny on the
tree being held by Bertrand. Pan up as Bertrand raises his paw with sharp
claws, the background becomes a red action background.
Cut to Bertrand’s
claws. They swoop down in slow motion.
Cut to Danny on the
tree with one claw on his shoulder. He braces himself and turns invisible,
phasing through the tree as the claw scratches the bark of the tree in
slow-motion.
You know, when this episode first aired (the
time when Dennis was still skeptical of DP’s quality due to newness, but found
a liking to it), she was rooting for Danny to phase intangibly through the tree
and evade being scratched. When she was right a few seconds later, she felt
some serious elation.
Cut to Bertrand with
his arm under his chin, confused. He looks to the right.
Cut to a full shot of
Bertrand. He puts down his arm and looks up, then forward.
Cut to the ground.
Danny phases through it in an intangible blue and points a fist at the screen.
Onomatopoeia shot. It
reads FWAM! In big, orange letters on
white and purple.
Cut to the building.
Bertrand flies up in the air as he is knocked back. Danny floats in an
intangible blue with his thermos strapped behind his back. He resumes full
color as he watches Bertrand fall on the other side of the building.
Cut to Danny. He yelps
out as Spectra flies in front behind him and wraps her arm around his neck in a
chokehold, pulling the two away from the camera. Spectra
swoops downward offscreen with Danny.
Cut to Danny, looking
up at Spectra while in a chokehold. He closes his eyes to yell.
DANNY: Let go of me!
Does a chokehold count as a neck-hold?
He looks up at
Spectra.
SPECTRA: Why would--
Pan up to Spectra.
SPECTRA: --I do that? Your doubt, your misery! (closes her eyes
with delight) It’s *delicious*!
Cut to the building
over the cars in the parking lot, the football field in the back. Spectra floats onscreen from the left holding Danny.
SPECTRA: And the best part is--
Cut to the dominoes.
They fall over in a curve.
SPECTRA: (offscreen) --as
soon as that--
Pan right to another
curve of dominoes falling over.
SPECTRA: --silly speech is over--
Cut to the array of
dominoes falling column by column, up one row and down the next, reading “CAS- PI”. Pan right over it.
SPECTRA: (offscreen) --and
that last domino falls--
Zoom in on the last
domino in the corner.
SPECTRA: (offscreen) --and
the Sparklers--
Pan down quickly to a
large, red button on a white box.
SPECTRA: --vaporize--
Cut to Jasmine,
looking down and smiling
SPECTRA: (offscreen) --the
speaker, we’ll leave you here to take the--
Zoom out fast to show
all of Jasmine at the podium with the two blue dishes overhead.
SPECTRA: --blame!
Cut to Spectra holding
Danny in a chokehold through the glass window. Her eyes are wide and one hand
is up.
SPECTRA: And by the time I’m--
Spectra looks at Danny evilly as she tucks her
hand to her chest, Danny grabbing her arm to remove it with all his effort.
SPECTRA: --done with you,--
Spectra takes a deep breath as Danny stops
trying, now looking bored.
SPECTRA: --you’ll be sure it was (raises her chin) all your (looks
at Danny) fault!
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: Man, I am (closes
his eyes) so tired of you (opens
them) dumping on me! And I am so (closes
his eyes and looks up) tired of (looks
down at himself, dejected) dumping on myself!
He quickly looks to
the right.
Cut to Jasmine at the
podium, smiling.
DANNY: (offscreen) Jazz
never--
Zoom in on her.
DANNY: --did that--
Cut to Danny in
Spectra’s grasp, her hands glowing with green energy as they hold his arms
restrained.
DANNY: (looking to
Spectra) --even when I was mad at her.
And I--
Cut to Danny, bracing
himself.
DANNY: (opening his
eyes) --let her--
Cut to a far shot of Danny being held by Spectra. She is knocked away as the screen becomes a red action background and a pair of blue-white rings pass over Danny’s body with a
huge flash of light from his middle.
DANNY: --*DOWN*!
There’s a lot of people who
question this “non-transformation”. Dennis thinks it’s somewhat like a shield;
later in CF he manages to make a ball shield just like it.
Cut to Danny. He turns
around to the left, looking up and gritting his teeth.
Cut to some trees. Spectra is knocked back and then turns to continue a flight
pattern. She turns toward the camera among them.
SPECTRA: (putting her
hands to her mouth) Bertrand!
She lifts her arm
above her and one behind her as they blaze green, pointing one far in front of
her.
SPECTRA: *Sic ‘im*!
Cut to the base of a
brick wall. Bertrand the cougar phases through with an intangible blue color,
growling and pouncing into the air.
Cut to Danny, looking
to the right. He turns to the right and looks down.
Cut to Bertrand flying
up through the air on a red action background. He morphs and tumbles in a
round, hollow ball as he transforms into a ninja-like shape with a flash of
light.
Cut to Danny. His
expression turns from ready-to-fight to bored.
Cut to a tree branch.
Bertrand lands on it with his knees bent. He reaches behind him.
Cut to a red action
background with Bertrand’s hand holding a pair of green nunchucks.
Cut to Bertrand. He
spins the nunchucks on the right of him, then changes
hands to the left of him, then spins it over his shoulder to continue spinning
it on the left, then puts it in the hand on his right side and uses the other
hand to make a two-finger stance.
Cut to Danny, bored.
DANNY: I *so* don’t have time for this.
Pan down to Danny’s
body. He takes the thermos from behind his back, takes off the cap, and a blue
beam comes out.
Cut to Bertrand. He
puts a hand over his face as the blue beam envelops him.
BERTRAND: No!
Cut to Bertrand in the
blue beam. He is about to be sucked toward the source of the beam, his form and
nunchucks being sucked to the left.
BERTRAND: *NOOOOO*!
Bertrand’s form
stretches into a formless thing. Pan to Danny holding the thermos with the beam
coming out. Bertrand stops screaming as the beam is absorbed into the thermos.
Danny smiles as he caps it, then floats straight with his hand on his hip,
shaking the thermos so it rattles.
Finally caught the one that got away, huh? Took four tries. The open, the wasp, the
pharmacy, and now. Congratulations.
Cut to Spectra, her
mouth gaping wide. She bends her shoulders up.
SPECTRA: You’re through!
She flies offscreen.
Cut to a red action
background. Spectra comes forth with her arms in
front, fingers curled and ready to grab.
Cut to Danny with his
knees bent in a ready stance. He turns his legs into a tail and flies up offscreen
as Spectra flies through the place he was.
Cut to Danny. He flies
up and swoops around and down offscreen with a hand in front.
DANNY: And you’re done telling me--
Cut to Spectra’s black
ghostly tail.
DANNY: (offscreen) --what
(grabs Spectra’s tail with a white-gloved
fist) to do!
Cut to Spectra, flying
in a red action background. She widens her eyes in surprise as she is pulled
back.
Cut to a few trees by
buildings and a mesh fence. Danny flies in onscreen and grunts with effort as
he flings Spectra down.
Cut to a dumpster.
Spectra flies hands-first into it, then the lid slams down on her.
Add that to the count of times people were
flung into dumpsters.
Cut to Danny, looking
down with pride at accomplishment. Suddenly, he gasps and turns intangible.
DANNY: *Jazz*!
Cut to the wall. Danny
phases through it.
Cut to the red button.
In slow motion, a domino with a one on both sides (snake eyes) falls onto the
button and presses it. A buzzer sounds.
Cut to the blue dish.
It glows all red as a red ball of energy glows on the receptor site, increasing
intensity. Soon, the whole screen is a red action background with the device
silhouetted.
Cut to an alarmed
Danny flying down invisibly at record speed on a red action background. Zoom
in.
Cut to Jasmine,
looking up clueless at the podium. In slow motion, an
invisible Danny at high speed, causing Jasmine to be held up in the air and fly
offscreen with Danny.
Cut to the receptor
site of the dish. It sends out a red beam.
Cut to the other dish.
It also sends out a beam.
Cut to an aerial shot
of the podium with the banner behind it. The two beams vaporize the podium and
char the stage with a large black, smoldering burn mark.
Cut to a brick wall.
It’s a dark, calm blue. Danny phases himself and
Jasmine in his arms through the wall. Jasmine looks at Danny.
Cut to a hallway full
of cardboard boxes and giant drums. There is a door that reads “STORAGE”. Danny flies in and puts Jasmine on the ground,
then resumes full color and lands next to her. Jasmine looks surprised.
Cut to Jasmine. She
blinks.
Cut to Danny. He
smiles. Suddenly, two black arms come from behind and grab him by the
shoulders. Danny grunts in pain, then screams as he is
pulled away.
Cut to the inside of
the door. There is a switch and a stack of boxes next to it. Spectra pushes
open the door from the other side with Danny in a chokehold, Danny holding his
hands on Spectra’s arm. She flies offscreen.
Cut to a brick wall. Spectra shoves Danny back-first into the wall, holding him
by the chin and top of the head. Danny grunts in pain. Spectra
looks down at him.
SPECTRA: Look at you!
Danny thrusts out the
thermos, and Spectra looks at it, irked. She knocks it away with a metallic
clang. Danny puts down his arms as Spectra puts her hand back on his chin.
SPECTRA: What are you?
Close up on Danny.
SPECTRA: (offscreen) A
ghost--
Danny closes his eyes,
angry.
SPECTRA: --trying to--
Danny opens his eyes,
shocked.
SPECTRA: --fit in
with humans?
Danny looks up, serious.
Close-up on Spectra.
SPECTRA: Or some creepy--
Zoom in and rotate
slowly.
SPECTRA: --little boy with *creepy* little powers?
Cut to the doorway.
Jasmine runs inside, angry.
Close-up on Danny in Spectra’s hands.
DANNY: Both! (looks away, awkward) Uh, (looks at Spectra, awkwardly) neither! (closes his eyes, shouting) I don’t know!
Dennis could say that in this episode, you
were the latter. She has a “dual/merged” personality theory, in the first
episodes Danny was just Danny Fenton with ghost powers, and Danny Phantom was
just Danny’s ghost-fighting alias. In the “dual” theory of later episodes,
Danny Fenton is a messed-up kid and Danny Phantom is a reckless ghost-fighting
teen, see IC. In the “merged” theory, Danny has become so comfortable with his
ghost identity that the two are one and the same; Danny Fenton can be brave and
cunning while Danny Phantom can be awkward and insecure.
In this episode, Danny was fully Danny Fenton
the whole time, even in his ghostly form. And he was being depressed and angry
because his ghost powers kept getting in the way when Jasmine tried in
investigate. But there are episodes where Danny’s ghost half is prevalent over
the human half, so it focuses more on how his ghost half is more hated, as in
“Ghost trying to fit in with humans”. Meep!
Cut to a full shot of
Danny in Spectra’s clutches.
SPECTRA: You’re a *freak*! (tilts her head back) Not a ghost, (looks down at
Danny as he glows all green) not a boy!
Rings of green ghostly
energy run down her body. She then drops Danny, who falls offscreen.
SPECTRA: Who cares for a thing--
Cut to Danny on the
ground, seen from the back. Spectra drifts down to look at him, he looks at her
SPECTRA: --like you?!
Cut to Spectra, seen
from the back. She turns around suddenly.
JASMINE: (offscreen) Excuse
me.
Cut to Danny. Stars,
circles and squiggles pop around him, he’s dazed. He looks up suddenly.
Cut to Jasmine in the
doorway.
JASMINE: I don’t--
She waves her palm
aside and closes her eyes.
JASMINE: --know this kid, (puts down her arm) but I hope it’s okay if he gets (lifts up the Peeler) a second opinion.
I thought Jasmine hated ghost fighting. How
did she get the Peeler so quickly if she didn’t bring it to school with her?
Cut to the Peeler.
Jasmine presses a red button on the back of the device. The
three green lights charge and glow.
Cut to a farther shot
of the Peeler in Jasmine’s arm. A metal bracelet covers her whole hand. Door
open on the top of the band and a cable comes out, along with two metal cables
from the bottom.
Cut to Jasmine’s
shoulder. The metal armor creeps up her arm, forms shoulder blades and a chest
protector, then creeps down her other arm.
Cut to Jasmine’s legs.
A band like the first comes down on her arm, and metal underwear sprouts from
nowhere around her legs.
Cut to Jasmine’s head,
looking down at her chest armor. She looks up.
JASMINE: This is weird.
Cut to Jasmine’s feet.
Armored metal boots with rivets on the ankles cover her feet.
Cut to the top of
Jasmine’s head. Sheets of metal come together to form a
helmet with a window protecting the face, reading “FENTON PEELER” on the forehead.
Cut to Jasmine’s back,
covered in the armor. Two cables protrude from stud in the back. Two more
cables come up from the front and creep around the back to join two more studs
with a metallic clang.
Cut to Jasmine’s
armored hand holding the original device. A laser comes up from the top of the
band, bringing out a more tapered part. It’s heard charging. Zoom out to show
Jasmine fully in the Peeler. She is brought into shadow as a beam of green
light comes from the laser.
I have to commend Jack Fenton for adaptable
devices. Dennis thinks that a non-cartoon-made device would only be designed
for one user, Jack Fenton. With his unique body shape, it wouldn’t fit anyone
else.
Cut to Spectra, her
green mouth gaping wide in shock. She screams as the green beam overcomes her.
Cut to a full shot of
Spectra in the beam. Her black, ghostly lair strip away to
reveal the normal, human form of Spectra.
Cut closer to Spectra.
She puts up her arms and continues to shriek without moving her lips, sounding
older with each peeling. She puts down her arms and looks up at her head as
sparkles pop around her and the next layer peels off from the top, revealing a more tired Spectra with paler hair. The next layer peels
to reveal a closed-eyed Spectra with pale brown,
disheveled hair. Then another layer peels away to show an old, wrinkled Spectra
with dark gray hair. The last layer peels away to show a
white-haired Spectra with even more age and wrinkles on her face.
Cut to Danny, looking
up over his shoulder.
DANNY: Talk about having nothing within!
Cut to the old lady
Spectra, who now has chicken legs and thin, droopy breasts. Green smoke
smolders around her. Zoom out to show all of Spectra’s salmon-and-black layers
around her feet with Danny looking at her, seen from the back, and Jasmine in
the foreground. She clutches her face.
If you were watching the Peeling, you’d see
that the only thing affected was Spectra’s face, her body was the same. But now
her body changed.
Cut to
Spectra. She raises her arms, screaming.
SPECTRA: Ah!
Spectra drops her arms
and still looks up in desperation.
SPECTRA: Noooo!
She hunches
her back and looks at her hands, which vibrate.
SPECTRA: I am *nothing* without my youth!
Certain ghosts are aged for millennia and they
never get old. Obviously, when you manifested your powers to feed on misery,
you grew dependent.
A bright blue beam
engulfs the screen. Spectra is pulled toward the
source of it, screaming.
Cut to Danny holding
the thermos, where the beam is being sucked in. He looks down at it as a tiny,
blue Spectra is pulled inside with the beam. A little
excess energy flares out.
Cut to Jasmine in the
Peeler armor, looking down smiling at her arm. She braces herself as the armor
is brought back quickly into the Peeler. She looks down at it, smiling, and
puts one hand on her hip.
JASMINE: *Hey*! It worked!
Jasmine looks confused
at it, then turns to the right and walks off, smiling.
JASMINE: But it’s still weird.
Cut to Danny, holding
the thermos. He looks to the left as Jasmine walks up with her hand to her
mouth. Danny turns around, scared and clutching the thermos
tightly.
Cut to Danny. He looks
away, insecure.
DANNY: Uh, (looks to
Jasmine) uh…
Cut to Jasmine,
smiling. She looks down at Danny, then looks with
realization.
JASMINE: (faking) Ahhhh!
Cut to Jasmine and
Danny. Danny is looking at Jasmine, confused. Jasmine has her hands at her
sides, then turns around while looking at Danny and raising her arms.
JASMINE: (faking) Ghoooost!
She walks off.
Cut to the doorway.
Jasmine stops when she reaches it.
Cut to Jasmine. She
looks over her shoulder and smiles.
JASMINE: You’d better go.
Jasmine turns to the
right and runs out the door.
Cut to Danny in the
supply room. He takes a breath of relief, a puff of
smoke comes from his mouth. He turns around and takes a step into a stack of
boxes, grunting in stupidity. He steps back and puts his hands over his eyes as
small gold stars pop around his head. Then he drops his arms.
DANNY: Oh, uh, right.
Danny turns around and
looks up, turning intangible.
Cut to Jasmine peeking
around the door, watching her intangible brother fly up and phase thought the
ceiling with his ghostly tail behind him. Pan left as she turns around, looking
to the door.
JASMINE: He can tell me when he’s ready.
What an understanding personality. A
non-understanding mean older sister would’ve blabbed straight like she did in
PP. Sigh.
Jasmine’s wyes pop to
the left as Lancer is heard.
LANCER: (offscreen) Miss
Fenton?
Cut to Lancer skipping
down the hallway with a white and a red pom-pom in each hand. Jasmine looks at
him from the foreground.
LANCER: You’re needed.
Cut to Jasmine,
looking up at Lancer who is skipping onscreen. Jasmine suddenly pops with
realization.
Cut to the gym. By the
purple gym doors hangs a white banner that reads “RAVENS” in red letters.
CROWD: Jazz! Jazz!
The doors slide open,
revealing Jasmine and Lancer.
Close-up on Jasmine. She smiles.
CROWD: Jazz! Jazz!
Cut to a crowd of
spirited students in the bleachers, standing and pumping their arms.
CROWD: Jazz! Jazz! Jazz!
Pan across the gym and
Spirit Week banner to the bleachers on the other side, where more kids are
standing and arm-pumping.
CROWD: Jazz! Jazz!
The crowd yells this
throughout. Cut to a part of the crowd, Tucker pops up on screen.
TUCKER: Hey, she’s okay!
Cut to a whole bunch
of students, all raising their hands and cheering
Cut to more cheering
students.
LANCER: (offscreen) Everybody’s
mood has--
A kid puts his hands
around his mouth and says “Wooo!”.
LANCER: --*lifted*.
Cut to another crown.
Tucker and Sam are on either side of Danny, cheering. Danny’s just smiling.
LANCER: (offscreen) As
if some gloomy malevolence has been--
Danny lowers his
eyelids and waves.
LANCER: --shooed away.
When a ghost is gone or defeated, their work
is usually undone. Luckily Spectra didn’t make too much of a mess, or their would be a lot of clean-up to do.
Cut to Lancer and
Jasmine. Jasmine is smiling ecstatically, Lancer is
looking down at Jasmine proudly.
LANCER: Your disappearing act worked marvelously.
Lancer looks up at the
crowd. Both he and Jasmine wave.
LANCER: They’ve got their spirit back.
Fade to a night. A
gate is visible with two round gold balls on on the
posts. It reads “
JASMINE: (offscreen) They’re not the only ones, Mr. Lancer.
Close-up on Danny with his hair blowing in the breeze.
JASMINE: They’re not the only ones.
Danny leans back and
rolls in the air, turning over the city and flying over it with his arms out in
front, swooping upward.
Cut to an open window
with a pink room inside. Jasmine walks up to the pane and puts her hands on it,
looking up at the sky.
Cut to Jasmine at the
window from the back as she watches Danny fly in a zig-zag
pattern over other houses. When he vanishes from view, she turns her back to
the window and looks up through it, crossing her arms and smiling.
Iris out.
