(Open POV)
Casper High...
Danny Fenton is pushing the doors open in a panic.
"Aaaaaaah!" Danny said, scared.
"Aaaaaaah!" Dash said, angrily.
Dash runs the same direction Danny went, chasing him. Danny is running through the halls, out of breath.
"Moving!" Danny said, huffing and puffing. "Gotta keep moving!"
Danny looks behind him.
"That's it Fen-ton! Run! But I'm taking this 'D' I got on our spelling test out of your hide!" Dash yelled.
"Every time he fails, he comes after me!" Danny said, worried.
"Arrrggh!"
In another hallway, Paulina Sanchez and Kwan meet up with Valerie Gray.
"Hey, Valerie. Like, I so much love that top!" Paulina said, drinking her coffee.
"Isn't it suh-weet? $579, and worth every one of my dad's pennies." Valerie said, noticing Danny rounding a corner and charging down the hall toward her and her friends.
Danny is looking back to see if Dash is still behind him. He doesn't see how close Paulina is and runs into her. Paulina's coffee goes flying into Valerie's face, and her $579 top. She screams angrily.
"Please hurt the unpopular boy for me." Valerie said, looking at Kwan.
"Hey, accidents happen." Kwan said, sadly.
Valerie grabs Kwan by his shirt, drags him down to face her, "GRRRRR!"
"Alright, alright." Kwan said, while Danny runs off to the opposite direction. "FENTON!"
Kwan starts chasing Danny back the way he came. Dash is still chasing Danny.
"Wait a minute! I have ghost powers." Danny said, as his eyes glows green as he goes intangible, ducks into narrow hallway off to one side, and invisible and the two jocks run head on into each other. He phases outside from the ground and land. "Man! That was close."
Danny's ghost sense goes off. Danny prepares to fight then a small green ghost dog comes up to him. He picks it up, and sees it has a tag on its collar, an 'A' with four electrons orbiting it. Danny picks up the little dog.
"It's like Dash, but with better breath." Danny said, and the little dog licks his face and puts it down. "Now this I can handle." The happy little dog becomes huge and very unhappy-looking, leaning down to Danny. "Or not. Where's Jared when you need him?"
Axion Labs...
"Digital surveillance, retinal scanning access portals..." Damon said, walking with his boss following him. "...titanium doors, laser deturents." Valerie looks back to see two burly security guards following them. "As promised, this is the most secure facility in the United States."
Doors behind them start closing shut.
"Well done, Damon. You can feel free to bill me for the remainder of your fee." Damon's boss said.
"Which means, I can replace this top." Valerie said, happily.
"It's good to know those smelly security dogs are now a thing of the past." Damon's boss said.
Barkings are heard and huge dents appearing in the titanium armored doors behind them. Danny Phantom comes flying through and lands on his back in front of Valerie and the others.
"What are you?!" Valerie exclaimed.
Then, they all see the gigantic ghost dog. It shakes its head, spraying green glowing slobber all over, but particularly on Valerie.
"I'll tell you what I'm not: coated in dog saliva." Danny said, looking at Valerie.
Valerie screams in anger. The ghost dog runs past them.
"Bad dog! No! Get back here!" Danny yelled.
The ghost dog and Danny turns intangible, they phase through an armored door followed and the ghost dog begins destroying a lab, knocking over a row of expensive equipment like dominos, and much other damage.
"Come on!" Danny said, flying over to the ghost dog and grabs his collar attempting to stop but gets dragged instead. "Whoa! Slow down!"
"Halt! Halt!" A guard said, firing at Danny and the ghost dog but misses.
"Cut it out, you stupid mutt!" Danny said, screaming.
The pillars which holds the balcony broke and the balcony falls off.
"Stand back everybody. This state-of-the-art security system can stop anything." Damon said, pressing the 'on' button.
A sphere with many lenses comes down from the ceiling, emitting a lot of laser beams. An automatic net gun fires at the ghost dog and Danny but they turn intangible and phases through them. Instead, it traps Valerie, Damon and Damon's boss.
"Except a pasty-faced teenager and his dog." Damon's boss said.
"I'm fired, aren't I?" Damon asked.
"You're not just fired, you're ruined."
Damon and Valerie exchange looks.
(Jared's POV)
Outside Valerie's house...
Tucker Foley, Danny Fenton and Sam Manson roll up on the sidewalk on electric scooters as I am on my hoverboard.
"Whoa! Talk about rock bottom. They're selling everything they own in a yard sale." Sam said, sadly.
"I feel bad. If I could have stopped that ghost dog..." Danny said, taking off his helmet. "...none of this would have happened."
"Well, he's no Zwei." I said, my feet on my hoverboard. "Plus this ghost dog is a bit cute in his puppy form. Still, I can't help but feel bad for Valerie and her dad."
Damon walks out of the house carrying a box marked 'Family Photos' and goes back in, glumly.
"She's having a hard week." Tucker said, brightening up the mood. "Which means, I can catch her on the rebound! Suh-weet!" Valerie comes out of her house carrying a large box marked 'Val's Clothes'. Tucker goes up to Valerie to make a pass. "Hey, Val. I heard what happened."
"Oh, great. Word's already oozed down to the bottom of the social grapevine." Valerie said, scoffing.
"Hey, come on. I know you're upset. But he just wants to help. We all do." Danny said, walking up to Tucker and Valerie with Sam and I.
"I don't." Sam said, frowning.
"Neither do I." I said, letting out a sigh. "I was naive to hang out with the popular kids when I went to school."
"Two of us do. At least that's half of a personal pie." Tucker said, smiling.
"Thanks, but I'll pass." Valerie said, sadly.
"I'm gonna have to pass too." Danny said, his ghost sense going off.
"I said I would pass regardless." I said, while my ghost sense goes off.
Danny hops on his scooter as I hop on my hoverboard and we ride them out of sight.
Sam, Tucker and Valerie run to where Danny and I were. Suddenly the ground starts shaking and cracking open. The ghost dog, a big angry version, bursts out of the ground. Then knocks down and breaks a chest of drawers with more of Valerie's clothes, and a passing car splashes filthy water on the wreckage to make it worse. Valerie frowns at it before looking back at the ghost dog, who is sniffing the ground. Danny Phantom and I phase from the ground and float to the ghost dog.
"Hey. Cujo. How did you get out of the Ghost Zone?" I asked, while the ghost dog growled at me. "If this dog is like my own. All I have to do is this."
I tickle the ghost dog under the chin, the ghost dog scratches his leg in delight and he turns into his small, cute, happy form.
"Well, ghost dogs are a lot more entertaining than regular dogs." Danny said, flying to the ghost dog and lands, he lifts one foot and examines it. "Oh, great. Invisible dog doo."
"Whatever you are, get out of here! The two of You and your stupid dog have done enough!" Valerie said, walking up to the ghost dog, Danny, and I.
The ghost dog bites onto Danny's ankle dragging him around.
"Come on, not again!" Danny said, terrified.
The ghost dog drags Danny into the moving van, causing the door to fall closed. There's a lot of banging and crashing inside, and bulges appear in the van.
"Nice boy! Nice boy! Down! Down, boy! Down, boy! Down, boy!" Danny said, inside the van.
Danny phases out of the truck with the ghost dog in his arms, he flies off. When the door opens, everything that was in the van looks broken.
"What's going on here?" Damon asked.
"I don't know, but I'm gonna find out." Valerie said.
Fenton Works lab...
I am carrying the now-happy-little ghost dog. Danny is behind us and we approach the portal as its doors open.
"Okay, Cujo. I love you, you're adorable. In you go." I said, tossing Cujo through the portal.
The portal doors close.
"Okay. I miss Zwei." I said, while my hands are covered with green ghost dog saliva. "Like a lot. Give me him or Hamtaro."
"Bleech, that's it, I'm getting a hamster." Danny said, looking down at my hands.
As soon as Danny and I leave, Cujo phases through the closed doors of the portal and flies out of the lab.
Casper High...
"Oh my gosh." Paulina said, happily. "Wait till you see what I'm wearing to the concert." Her top says 'Dumpty Humpty' inside a crack egg shape. "I'm gonna look better than ever."
Dash, Paulina and Kwan are all wearing black tees with the logo for Dumpty-Humpty, a rock band which is staging a concert in Amity Park.
"Man, I've been waiting weeks for this. Dumpty Humpty rocks." Dash said, mimicking an electric guitar sound. "Bwa-na-na-na-na-na-na..."
Valerie enters the cafeteria with a bag lunch and walks to the table where her 'friends' are sitting.
"Hey, Val! We're down for the concert, right?" Kwan asked.
"Sorry, guys. I had to sell my tickets online to help pay for the moving truck. Things are kind of tight now, you know?" Valerie asked.
"No." Dash said.
"Nuh-uh." Paulina said.
"Not really." Kwan said.
Valerie moves to sit down, but Dash gets up and blocks her.
"And speaking of tight..." Dash said, indicating with his eyes, and a disgusted Sam is sitting arms folded between Danny, Tucker, and I as the boys wolf down their lunch, stuffing it in with both hands.
"I get it." Valerie said, gasping, then frowning.
"Hey, Valerie, did you at least sell your tickets to somebody cool? We don't want to have to sit next to any losers at the concert." Paulina said.
Valerie looks down, sad and walks away to sit alone.
"Whoa..." Tucker said, swallowing his food. "...brutal."
"Did you see that?" Danny asked, while Dash, Paulina and Kwan are laughing nearby. "Valerie just got scorched by her friends."
"Maybe she needs better friends." Sam said, sadly.
"She really does. Being popular isn't for everyone." I said, frowning.
"My thoughts exactly!" Tucker said, dashing over to Valerie.
"What do you want?" Valerie asked, closing her eyes in humiliation.
"I, uh, I was wondering i-if you would join me...us for lunch. I...I mean, since you're..." Tucker said, as Cujo, huge and angry, appears outside the window next Valerie's table.
Tucker jumps back.
Valerie, eyes still closed, doesn't notice Cujo.
"I'm already aware of my sudden outcast status..." Valerie said, turning to Tucker and away from Cujo as the ghost dog's head phases in the window. "...but thanks for reminding me."
"But..." Tucker said, shaking.
"Can you please just leave me alone? I wanna enjoy my bag lunch in peace!" Valerie yelled.
Cujo bites into Valerie's bag lunch. Valerie screams. Cujo jumps over her table and lands on Dash's lunch tray, spraying him with nondescript mystery meat gravy. A horde of students to flee outside the school in terror. Cujo goes rampaging through the cafeteria, past Danny, Sam, and I.
"You two are not much of dog catchers." Sam said, looking between Danny and I.
"Yeah, no kidding." Danny said, annoyed.
"This is why I miss Zwei. At least he was adorable. Cujo. Not so much." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Yeah. Who let the dogs in?" Danny asked, and Sam was not amused. 'See, the song is "Who let the dogs out?' but I said, 'Who let the dogs in?'. I'll be right back."
Danny and I ducked under the table to go ghost.
"Bring some new jokes." Sam said.
A glop was thrown at, Danny and I turned to see a lunch lady, who is on station holding a laddle. Cujo picks her up in his teeth by her dress. She screams. Danny Phantom and I flew up to Cujo.
"Nice pooch. Easy. That lady isn't edible, and neither is anything she cooks." Danny said.
Cujo drops the lunch lady, happy to see Danny and I again.
"And neither am I!" Danny said, angrily.
"Cujo. Want a Puppuccino? Maybe a Sprinkles Doggie Cupcakes. Ben and Jerry's Doggie Desserts?" I asked, looking at Cujo, who kept tilting his head. "Oh! I know. An In-N-Out Pup Patty!"
Cujo, Danny, and I, causing us to become intangible. Cujo jumps at Danny and I. The ghost dog phases himself, Danny, and I through the wall.
The lunch lady picks up a serving tray from behind her that still has some lime green gunk on it, "It's still good. Who wants seconds?"
Tucker and Valerie are standing somewhat near one another.
"Ghosts. Heh heh." Tucker said, his arms-out elbows bent palms-up shrug. "What are you gonna do, huh?"
"Ghosts?" Valerie asked, confused, yet frightened. "Oh my gosh! Ghosts!"
(Open POV)
Amity Park...
A sign reads, 'Welcome to Elmerton We're getting better'. At the right of a building, it is Damon and Valerie's apartment.
Damon and Valerie's apartment...
"Great news, sweetheart." Damon said, opening a window. "I'm getting one last chance. I convinced them to let me guard what's left of the research lab while they rebuild."
"Oh that's great! How many of your employees can you put on it?" Valerie asked.
"I don't have any more employees. I have to guard myself, at night, in that." Damon said, pointing to a uniform hanging at the door.
"Nice. And if things get worse, you can use that outfit to deliver packages."
"Which reminds me." Damon said, darting off briefly and returns with a package. "This arrived while you were at school today. From Wisconsin." The package is addressed to: Valerie Gray, 461 Elm St., Elmerton. His watch beeps. "Whoa. Don't want to be late." He hands the package to Valerie. "Bye, sweetie."
Damon kisses Valerie on the cheek and rushes off.
"'Heard about your recent Ghost troubles- Hope this will helps -Vlad.'" Valerie said, opening the package and finding a note, reading it aloud.
Vlad Plasmius is floating just outside her window watching her, smiling evilly. Teleports away.
"Don't know who you are, Vlad, but if this thing does what I think it does, I can't say that I care." Valerie said, accidentally fires the pistol in her hand.
"Valerie!" Damon said, nearby.
"I'm okay!" Valerie said, excitedly.
(Jared's POV)
Amity Park...
I am on a clear hilltop with Danny and Sam and we are looking at city buildings in the distance. We are away from other people in an open area on top of a small hill. Sam is reading a book.
"I'm telling you, this is one bad dog! No matter how many times Jared and I toss him into the ghost zone, he digs his way out, out through the Fenton Portal and he comes back to us!" Danny said, angrily.
"Danny, Cujo is still a dog. Even if he is a ghost dog. And we're the only other ghosts in the area." I said, happily. "We should train him! It could be fun!"
"Jared's right, good luck." Sam said, walking away.
"Where are you going?" Danny asked.
"Hello? I can't be seen hanging out with ghost kids. Here." Sam said, turning to Danny and I.
Sam tosses the book she was reading to Danny. It phases through his body at the waist. Danny picks up the book from the ground and reads it.
"Okay, let's get to it, then." Danny said, reading the book aloud. "'A dog's hearing is much more acute than a human's'. Which means..."
Danny and I are viewed through a red-tinted device which projects crosshairs and other readouts. I whistled at the distance. The red-tinted device pans to Cujo running to Danny and I.
"'Hand signals, along with vocal commands, can be a powerful combination.'" Danny said, reading the book aloud.
"Danny. Watch this." I said, pulling my hand out. "Stop!"
Cujo stops in front of me.
"Jared, that's weird. This dog is already trained." Danny said, looking over at me. "Did you know he was already trained?"
"Yup." I said, taking out a Pooch-ini from Shake Shack out of my pocket. "Cujo? Want a treat?"
Cujo then jumps on to me as we spiral down the hill and Danny follows us.
"So, you knew he was sort of trained." Danny said, smiling.
"Who's a good boy?" I asked, placing the Pooch-ini onto the grass and Cujo jumped down from my arms to snack on the Shake Shack dog treat. "You are! Yes, you are!"
Sam is watching Danny, Cujo, and I through the binoculars.
"Boys and their dog. Somehow it's not supposed to be this freaky." Sam said, while a missile flies pass her. "Huh?"
Danny spots the missile in time as I grab onto Cujo and jump out of the way.
"Right, I forgot about her." I said, landing on the ground harshly, I then put Cujo down. "Danny, you check on the crater."
"Right." Danny said, flying back to the crater left by the missile, looking around. "What the heck was that?"
With a whine of jet engines, a female figure in a red jumpsuit with a hood that covers her face appears above standing on a hoverboard, which she nearly falls off but regains her balance.
"Whoa!" Valerie said, locking her target at Danny then fires a missile at him from her hoverboard.
Danny quickly flies away, Valerie starts chasing him and fires another missile. They fly past an old man as his fake teeth fall out of his mouth. Valerie steps on a button on her hoverboard which shoots a laser at Danny, which he dodge. Danny makes a turn and so does Valerie after she almost fall. Danny turns intangible and phases through a tree. Valerie flies up but falls off her hoverboard, she screams.
"Rider absent. Corrective piloting program initiated." The autopilot said.
Valerie's hoverboard flies under her and catches her before she hits the ground.
"Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin' about!" Valerie cheered, flying in front of Danny, throwing three pink buzz-saw blades.
One hits a tree bark, one hits a rock which goes upwards and another one hits a bird bath fountain and knocks into it.
"Wow! Nice aim! First day with the new weapons?" Danny asked, as the one pink buzz-saw blade that hits the rock comes down, nicking his arm. "Ow! That hurt! Wait a minute. That hurt."
"Oh, don't worry, ghost kid. It won't hurt long, because you are going down!" Valerie said, aiming her double-barreled weapon at Danny.
Valerie fires her weapon, which cause her to knock off her hoverboard, Cujo jumped out of my arms and grabs Danny by the ankle away from getting shot. Valerie's hoverboard catch her again. She almost fall trying to regain her balance.
"Come back!" Valerie yelled, aiming her weapon at us before she fired.
Cujo keep carrying Danny into a rugged area where I am where there are many trees, bushes, and large rocks. Valerie keeps firing as Danny screams. Valerie runs into a tree. Sam looks up from behind a bush as Cujo stops to look back, Danny skids to a stop on his butt.
"Who is that? That's an awesome outfit." Sam said.
"Don't know. I have been dogsitting." I said, taking out a ball out of my sling bag. "See the ball? Fetch!"
Cujo chases after the ball. I quickly turned myself back into a human, knowing Valerie is coming soon.
"Oh, man! She's coming! Sam, Jared, hide!" Danny said, worried.
"No time!" Sam said, pushing Danny behind a bush, Valerie flies over there.
"No escaping me now, ghost boys!" Valerie said, aiming her weapon.
Valerie stops and sees Danny Fenton on the ground with Sam on top of him, kissing him on the lips as he wraps his knuckles to the ground. I am busy recording Danny and Sam kissing on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Danny and Sam look at Valerie and screams.
"Do you mind? They're kissing here." I said, my iPhone 15 Pro Max in my hands.
"Oh, gross. Loser love. I always knew you two geeks would end up together." Valerie said, flying away.
"That sounded like Valerie." Sam said, turning to Danny, who is still looking dazed. "Danny? Danny? You didn't think it was a real kiss, did you?"
"No! Why? Did you?" Danny asked, snapping out of his gaze.
Sam looks as uncomfortable as Danny.
Casper High...
Tucker is walking in the school hallway.
"Wait." Tucker said, amusingly raising his eyebrow and he looked over at Danny and Sam behind him. "You guys kissed?"
"No. It was a fake-out make-out!" Danny and Sam said, at the same time.
"But that still has the words 'make' and 'out' in it, right? Maybe I should try that out on..." Tucker said, while Valerie walks in from a connecting hallway while he is looking back. They collide, and her books go flying. "...Valerie! Hi." He bends down to pick up her books. "Okay, guys. See ya."
Danny and Sam walk away, angrily as I walk away drinking some bubble tea.
"This is going to be good." I said, drinking my coconut taro bubble tea. "Tucker trying to hook up with Valerie."
Tucker finishes picking up the books for Valerie and as he picks up the last one, he reads the title of the books, "'Ghost Hunter's Almanac'? 'Ghost Killing for Dimwits'? When did you get so interested in ghosts?"
"When they ruined my life." Valerie said, grabbing her books from Tucker.
"You know, I happen to know a thing or two about ghosts." Tucker said.
"Please, I'm broke. I'm not stupid." Valerie said, beginning to walk away.
"But seriously, did you know Danny's parents are professional ghost hunters?" Tucker asked, following Valerie. "And did you know Jared hunted ghosts with the Ghostbusters? Those ghost hunters from the 80s."
"No, I didn't know that." Valerie said, stopping and turning to Tucker with a big smile and sweetens her voice. "Hey, Tucker..." Her eyelids are fluttering. "...do you wanna carry my books for me?"
Sparkles around Valerie in Tucker's vision. Tucker smiles as he and Valerie walks away. Danny, Sam, and I are watching nearby.
"Great. My best friend has a crush on a ghost hunter." Danny said, annoyed.
"That's life. Well, your life and Jared's life, anyway." Sam said, sadly.
"You're not wrong. My life had doctors marrying assassins." I said, frowning. "Two times over."
Gym...
Casper High is playing another nameless school with yellow and purple uniforms. Sam, Danny, and I are in the first row of the bleachers watching the basketball game.
"Danny, will you relax?" Sam asked.
"Sam's right. You need to relax, Danny. Everything will work out in the end. I promise." I said, sipping on a bottle of Mountain Dew.
"How can I relax? Jared, your foreknowledge hasn't been helpful lately. And you haven't told me anything. That stupid ghost dog could be anywhere. Not to mention, I have no idea how Valerie became a ghost hunter." Danny said, looking over at me.
Valerie and Tucker show up at the end of our bleacher's row.
"Hey guys, can we join you?" Tucker asked.
"No!" Sam and Danny said, at the same time.
Valerie looks down, hurt.
"Of course we can." Tucker said, happily.
"So, Danny, Tucker tells me your parents hunt ghosts." Valerie said. "And Jared, Tucker tells me you hunted ghosts with the Ghostbusters."
"Did he now? What else did he tell you?" Danny asked, glaring at Tucker but he just smiled back.
Dash is ready to take the shot but misses when Cujo starts barking nearby, Cujo turns visible. Cujo scares almost everyone out of the gym, with Dash dashing ahead of everyone else.
Meanwhile, Danny and Valerie gasps and heads off in different directions. Cujo phases through the bleachers, begins making digging motions on the floor.
Danny Phantom phases from the floor next to him, Cujo sees him and gets small and happy again, then starts digging again, "You're looking for something? What are you looking for? Jared was right. Ghost dog or not, you're still a dog, and you're looking for something."
A pink blasts was shot which hits Cujo and throws him far down the gym.
"Say goodbye, ghost boy." Valerie said, as she has a thermos exactly like one of Jack Fenton's except in different colors.
Valerie can't get the caps open.
"Huh?" Danny asked.
"Oh, come on, you stupid thermos!" Valerie said, struggling.
Sam, Tucker, and I are looking down from the top of the bleachers above.
"Oh my gosh, Danny's in trouble!" Sam said, worried.
"Tuck, just so you know..." I said, gesturing to Valerie. "That's your girlfriend. Valerie has been trying to hunt Danny and I lately. On top of the ghost dog."
"That's awesome! Hey, Valerie, wait up!" Tucker said, jumping off and crashes on top of Valerie. "Great outfit."
Danny flies to Valerie, grabs her, flies her to one of the basket hoops and wedges her inside it, "You should be safe here until help comes."
"Get me down! Get me down so I can destroy you and the Black Pearl!" Valerie said, angrily.
Danny turns intangible and flies out of the gym.
Chemistry Lab...
Sam, Danny, and Tucker are working at the same lab table. I am invisible, watching what is happening nearby.
"Tucker, you can't still like her." Danny said, looking at Tucker.
"Why not? For once, a girl I like likes me back. Why can't you just roll with that? Not everybody has to like you, Danny. Don't you trust me?" Tucker asked.
"You? Yes. It's your hormones I worry about."
Sam, Danny, Tucker, and I look to the left. Valerie is at the next table over, Valerie giving Tucker a flirty smile and wave while working on the science project. Tucker waves back. Danny's ghost sense and my ghost sense goes off as barkings are heard nearby, Valerie hears the barking too.
"May I be excused?" Valerie and Danny asked, with the two raising a hand.
Valerie emerges from the school in her suit and begins shooting at Danny, Cujo, and I.
"Jared, 279 girls at our school, and Tuck's got to have a crush on the one with the weapons and the grudge." Danny said, looking over at me. "What caused this to happen?"
"When you interrupted Valerie's dad showing off to his boss for a possible job promotion." I said, tossing a coin in the air and shooting a Railgun at Valerie's gun and knocking it into her hands as she fell off her board to the ground, not catching her this time. "Cujo was looking for something around that lab was what started it. But you accidentally stopped him."
"Oh. All this is my fault, sort of." Danny said, while Cujo stops in front of him and I. "I suppose we should do something to help Valerie, after we figure out what to do with you."
Cujo turns small again. Danny takes out the dog training book and opens it.
"Go on, boy. Go get it!" Danny said, excitedly.
Cujo blinks, confused.
"I mean..." Danny said, pointing in a certain direction. "...fetch!"
Cujo runs off yapping with Danny and I following him.
Axion Labs...
It is night time. Danny and I are with Cujo, who is scratching at a wall.
"Jared, you were right." Danny said, looking up. "The lab? Cujo? What you're looking for is in there?"
Danny and I hear the gate closes.
"Crap! Somebody's coming!" I said, terrified.
Danny picks up Cujo, covering his mouth, turning them all invisible. I turned myself invisible just before Damon and his boss came around the corner of the building. Damon and his boss are walking past Danny, Cujo and I.
"I appreciate the second chance, sir." Damon said, happily.
"As long as nothing else happens, we'll see about reinstating your contract. I knew we never should have gotten rid of those guard dogs." Damon's boss said.
"Valerie's dad? Oh, great." Danny said, annoyed.
Amity Park...
It is even later at night. Danny Fenton is now on top of a hill overlooking Axion Labs with Sam, Tucker, and I.
"We're here. Where's man's best friend?" Sam asked.
I gave a quick whistle, Cujo bursts out of the ground nearby, and bounds over to loom menacingly behind Sam and Tucker.
"Relax. I'm on your side." Tucker said, happily.
"Yeah, so he says." Sam said, scoffing.
"Well, I was the one that knocked out the security camera." I said, taking out my sonic screwdriver out of my sling bag. "Sonic screwdriver. Love this thing."
"Okay." Danny said, standing up. "Good news, there's only one guard. Bad news, it's Valerie's dad."
"Ouch." Sam and Tucker said, at the same time.
"So I think it's safer if I go down there myself." Danny said, taking out the Fenton Fisher. "The Fenton Fisher should make a good leash." He ties the fishing line from Cujo's collar to a tree. "You guys watch the dog."
"We will." Sam said, smiling.
"From waaay up here." Tucker said, smirking.
"This is going to be a long night..." I said, letting out a sigh.
Sam, Tucker, and I had climbed high up to a tree, Cujo started barking and jumping up at us.
(Open POV)
Axiom Labs...
Damon is in his office.
"Think I'll go and pick us up a little late-night snack." Damon said, looking at Valerie doing her homework at the desk. "Will you be okay, honey? You got stuff to do?"
"I'm fine, daddy. I've got everything I need, right here." Valerie said, patting her backpack which is filled with weapons and something goes off, some pink smoke comes out.
"Valerie?" Damon asked, sticking his head at the door.
"I'm okay!" Valerie said, smiling innocently.
Somewhere else in the building, Danny phases through a wall before flying in slowly.
"I wish I knew what I was looking for." Danny said, turning tangible.
Suddenly, a pink blast hits Danny, throwing him back to the wall he came through. Danny holds his head.
"Back to the scene of the crime?" Valerie asked.
"I really hate to do this..." Danny said, charging an ecto-energy. "...but..."
Danny shoots an ectoblast and knocks away Valerie's gun.
"Yeah? Well I don't!" Valerie said, angrily.
A shoulder cannon unfolds from her backpack and she sights in on Danny. Danny flies up and phases through the ceiling but still manages to hit him as he screams, the blast Valerie shoots also cause a big hole in the roof of the building. Danny turns tangible and flies back in the building.
Outside Axiom Labs...
"What was that?" Tucker asked.
"10 to 1 says it's your girlfriend." Sam said, happily.
"It is so your girlfriend, Tucker." Jared said, smiling.
Cujo starts barking at Danny, trying to get to him and uprooting the tree. Sam, Tucker, and Jared hold on to the tree branch as Cujo drags them down the hill.
"This is why I'm a cat person." Sam said, sighing, turning to face Tucker and Jared.
Axiom Labs...
Valerie seems to be flying in slow motion with a smaller pistols in each hand, blasting away. Danny dodging them, he fires an ectoblast at Valerie.
Valerie stops and looks back to see where it hit, which was about two feet above her head, "You're a pretty lousy shot."
"That's because I'm not trying to hit you. Can't we talk?" Danny asked.
"I'm done talking." Valerie said.
Valerie's boots sprout in-line skate wheels and rocket motors. Valerie rockets to Danny trying to punch him, he turns intangible. She goes through them, almost crashes into the wall and Cujo's head phases through the wall right in front of her. Danny flies over and saves her from Cujo.
"Let me go!" Valerie yelled.
"Yeah, you're welcome." Danny said, dropping Valerie.
Valerie lands perfectly on the ground and pulls out a her biggest gun. She shoots but misses Danny, accidentally hits the alarm button. The alarms trigger.
Amity Park...
Damon is at a fast food restaurant across the street, he hears the alarms.
"Valerie!" Damon said, worried.
Axiom Labs...
Danny is being targeted by Valerie as he tries to move away from her view.
"You, your friend, and your stupid dog ruined everything, and you're gonna pay! You, the Black Pearl, and every ghost like the both of you." Valerie said.
Danny turns intangible but the ray still manages to hit him phasing through the wall, leaving another hole. Valerie pauses to admire her work, she doesn't notice Cujo right behind her.
"That ought to do it." Valerie said, finally noticing Cujo, turns around and screams.
Danny gets hit on his back, lands on the ground and finds themselves in a dusty, cobwebbed room.
"An old kennel? This must be where they kept all the guard dogs." Danny said, leaning against a pile of mats and something squeaks. "Huh?"
Danny searches the pile of mats and finds something. Valerie is on the ground as Cujo roars at her.
"Here, boy! Is this what you've been looking for?" Danny asked, holding a little pink bear, the squeaky toy he found in the kennel.
Cujo starts wagging his tail and barks happily, but Valerie starts moving. Cujo growls at Valerie.
"No, no, no! It's okay!" Danny said, flying over to Cujo before he starts talking in a baby voice. "Does you want your squeaky? Huh? Oh, does you? Here you go. Now, please, just go home and stay there!"
Danny throws the pink bear. Cujo chases after the toy, starts shrinking after he gets it and dissipates. Danny attends to Valerie.
"Look, I know you're angry, but that's not my dog..." Danny said, pointing at where Cujo was. "...that's not the Black Pearl's dog, and we're sorry about whatever happened to you. Not all ghosts are evil."
Danny lends Valerie his hand to help her up.
"Yeah?" Valerie asked.
As soon as Valerie accepts his hand, she immediately throws Danny to the floor.
"And not all humans are saps. huh? Goodbye, ghost boy." Valerie said, while her bracelet comes out with a wrist blaster.
"Valerie?" Damon asked, nearby.
"Oh no! My dad! I can't let him see me like this!" Valerie said, pulling back her wrist blaster.
"I'm sorry..." Danny said, turning him and Valerie intangible. "...but I can't help you there."
Danny flies up phases through the ceiling. Sam, Tucker, and Jared are peeking in the lab from the doorway with branches in their hair.
"Maybe Danny can't help her, and Jared, you don't want to help her, but I can." Tucker said, taking out his PDA and re-activate the security system.
"Good luck, Tuck." Jared said, and Tucker goes into the room where Valerie is and sets off the alarm.
A net scoops Tucker up just as Valerie, now in her normal clothes, finishes repacking her weapons.
"What are you doing here?" Valerie asked.
"Um, hoping for a fake-out make-out?" Tucker asked.
Valerie smiles genuinely at Tucker. Damon clears his throat to get their attention, he glares at Tucker.
"Uh, heh, hi. You must be her dad. You're bigger than I thought you'd be." Tucker said, happily.
"Well, at least we know we're secure against teenagers, but you're still on thin ice." Damon's boss said, looking at Damon.
Damon glares back at Tucker and Valerie, who smiles sheepishly.
(Jared's POV)
Casper High cafeteria....
I am at Sam, Danny and Tucker's table, eating a bacon cheeseburger and some fries, with a Coke on the side.
"Know where the dog went?" Tucker asked.
"Nope." Danny said.
"Gonna play it a little safer now that Valerie the Ghost Slayer is around?" Sam asked.
"Yep."
"Honestly. Same. I don't know where Cujo went. And with Valerie around. I can't be as childish as I used to." I said, sipping on my Coke.
Valerie walks past our table. She bluntly ignores the popular kid's table as they all glare at her. Vlad Plasmius teleports into the hallway, leaves a package, and teleports away.
"I just wish I knew where she got those weapons." Danny said.
Valerie notices the package on the floor, she smiles.
"Or that costume." Tucker said, leaning on his palm dreamily. "A costume that stylin' had to cost something, you know?"
"Well, I don't know where she got the weapons, but I think I know where she got some extra cash. Remember those concert tickets she sold on the internet?" Sam asked.
"You bought her tickets?" Danny asked.
Dumpty Humpty Concert....
Sam, Tucker, Danny, and I are rocking out. Dash, Paulina, and Kwan sit next to the quad, looking glum in their matching Dumpty-Humpty tees.
"I can't believe we're sitting next to those losers!" Sam said, excitedly.
"This is no Ed Sheeran! But they're as good as the Black Eyed Peas!" I said, looking over at Danny, Tucker, and Sam. "I love them!"
