Splitting Images/Transcript

	Fade in on a Casper High hallway. Tucker Foley, Sam Manson, and Danny Fenton walk down the hall together. Each carries a box that says "Save the Frogs!" and has a picture of a frog crossed out by a no symbol.
Danny	So, why exactly are we breaking our backs here, Sam?
Sam	Frogs' rights. We have to stop dissecting frogs in our school biology labs. And at today's assembly, (They stop walking.) I'm gonna demonstrate a humane alternative. (Tilts her box forward.)
Tucker	(Reading the top of Sam's box) "I Can't Believe It's Not a Frog Cadaver"?
	Sam puts down her box and takes out an oozing mechanical frog.
Frog	*croak* (Robotic voice:) Please remove my detachable three-chambered heart. *croak*
	Danny's ghost sense suddenly goes off. Sam's box on the ground begins to glow green and shake, then erupts a cloud of green smoke. Out of surprise, Sam tosses away the frog, which lands on Tucker's head and he struggles to remove it. The green smoke then materializes into the Box Ghost.
Danny	Oh great. Him again.
Box Ghost	I am the Box Ghost, and I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!
	Danny goes ghost, and the Box Ghost levitates the trio's boxes in the air. Meanwhile, Sam pulls the frog off of Tucker's face, leaving him covered in green slime.
Tucker	Oh, gross!
Danny	You guys get to the assembly. (Sam and Tucker run off.) I'll get this moron sealed up tight.
	The Box Ghost causes one of the boxes to open and numerous scalpels rise up out of it. They fly at Danny, but he turns intangible and they stick into the wall of lockers behind him.
Danny	Huh. Maybe Sam has a point.
	The Box Ghost slams into Danny, sending him through the lockers and through several more rooms before he finally tumbles into the backstage area of the school's auditorium. Upon landing, he changes back to human.
Danny	Oops.
Box Ghost	(Phases through wall.) Tremble before the might of the Box Ghost, as you are devoured by... (Reading label on box) uh, oh yeah. Costumes and props from the Broadway classic, My Fair Lady!
	The box opens and a bundle of clothes rises up out of it. The bundle hurls itself at Danny, knocking him backwards. He ends up under a pile of clothes.
Box Ghost	(Laughs evilly) Beware! (Phases out through the ceiling)
	Cut to Sam walking up to a podium onstage in front of a closed curtain.
Sam	(Into the mic) Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is taking place right here in our school, and I'm about to show you what it is.
	The curtain opens up behind her to reveal a large "Save the Frogs!" sign. The students in the audience pause, then immediately point and laugh. Sam turns around and sees Danny, who stands up from the pile of clothes wearing a pink-and-white dress, a matching hat with a wig of curls, and makeup. Danny glowers when he realizes the situation.
Tucker	(Cheering) Whoo! Take it off! (Sam glares at him) No, seriously. He should take it off. That's weird.
	Cut to theme song.
	Fade in. Sam, Danny, and Tucker walk down a Casper High hallway, where students still laugh at Danny.
Sam	Thanks to your little dress-up parade, my "Save the Frogs!" presentation was a total bust.
Tucker	And speaking of bust, did you see Danny in that bra? Puce is not your color, pal.
	The trio walk up to a locker covered in yellow caution tape. Danny carries a piece of paper.
Danny	Yeah, and now because that idiot Box Ghost trashed my locker, I've been assigned a new one. (Reads paper) Locker...seven-two-four.
	Sam and Tucker gasp and look dramatically fearful. Tucker points behind Danny at the rusty, worn-down locker 724. They all walk towards it.
Danny	Guys, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. (Chuckles.) Or something really scary that we don't see every single day.
Tucker	Hello?! Locker 724? How do you not know the legend of locker 724?
	Danny opens the locker. A gold-framed mirror hangs in the back, which Danny touches. The mirror begins to sparkle as Danny speaks.
Danny	What's the big deal with 724?
	Dash Baxter suddenly slaps down the hat-wig from the My Fair Lady costume onto Danny's head.
Dash	You left something behind, Fenton.
	Dash and two of his jock friends laugh while Danny glares at them.
Dash	Let's see if it fits in your new locker, with you inside!
	Dash grabs Danny and shoves him in his locker, then slams the door shut. Dash and his friends walk away laughing.
Tucker	I was gonna tell you the locker was cursed, (Opens the locker.) but I think you figured that out.
Danny	(Falls out of locker and stands up.) I'll show you cursed. Cover me.
	Danny grabs Sam and Tucker and hides behind them. He goes ghost, and flies invisibly down the hallway, then overshadows Dash. Danny then slams Dash's head into a locker twice before dunking it into a janitor's mop bucket, where he leaves Dash's body. He flies away from the crowd surrounding Dash and pops back into human form. He high-fives Tucker, while Sam glares at him.
Sam	(Admonishing) Danny.
Tucker	Relax, Sam. (To Danny) It's about time you used that Phantom advantage for some ghostly get-back.
	Sam sighs in disgust and walks away, and Tucker and Danny follow her. A ghostly voice (belonging to Sidney Poindexter) speaks from within locker 724.
Poindexter	Bullies. (Green light glows from within the locker.) Bullies!
	Fade to the Fenton Works' kitchen. At the table, Maddie is working on the Fenton Ghost Gauntlets, Jazz is reading a book, and Jack is eating breakfast. Danny walks into the kitchen.
Jack	So, Danny! What's this I hear about you getting a new locker?
Danny	Oh, uh, hehe. Uh, no big deal, really. Uh, nothing for you and Mom to get obsessive about.
Jack	(Angrily:) Why? Is it haunted?!
Maddie	Don't worry, son. You'll barely even notice us while we're staking out that locker during normal school hours.
Jazz	(Looks up from book.) What?! (Goes over to cover Danny protectively.) No! Danny is at a very critical stage in the development of his peer groups. (Lets go of Danny.) He's already considered a clumsy nerd. The last thing he needs is you two confirming it.
Danny	Nice defense, Jazz. Total confidence-builder.
	Jack suddenly grabs the Ghost Gauntlets away from Maddie and puts them on, bumping them together and swinging his fists around to showcase them.
Jack	And the best part is, thanks to the new ghost gloves, when that ghost comes out of that locker, I can spar with it mono à ghost-o.
	He punches a column of pipes and it breaks down. Jack raises his arms victoriously, and more pipes crash down from the ceiling.
Jazz	(To Danny:) Don't worry. Maybe girls will talk to you in college. (Walks away, and Danny glowers.)
	Cross-fade to Danny glowering into his locker at school. He glances over to Dale and another jock picking on a marching band student with a tuba.
Dale	Hey, Tubby the Tuba. (Grabs the student's shako.) Nice shako. (Twists shako in student's ear.) Does it remove earwax, too?
	Danny slams his locker door in anger and walks off. The locker begins to glow green again as Poindexter speaks from within.
Poindexter	Bullies.
	Dale tosses the shako to his friend.
Jock #1	Go long!
	He throws the shako down the hallway as Dale runs down it, but Danny's locker door suddenly flies open and smacks Dale in the face. He falls on the ground, dazed, and the shako lands on his head. Cut to a boy with glasses pushing a projector on a cart. Paulina suddenly stops the cart with her foot and leans on it.
Paulina	(Flirtatiously:) I'm so fascinated by AV equipment. (As Kwan sneaks up behind the boy:) Can you show me how it works?
	Kwan secretly ties the boy's shoelaces together.
Poindexter	Bullies!
	A stream of green ghostly energy comes out of Danny's locker, slides up across the ceiling to the opposite wall, and causes a trophy to fall off a trophy shelf onto Kwan's head. He stumbles around and knocks into a fire extinguisher case. The case opens up and the extinguisher tumbles out, spewing foam at Paulina, who screams as it knocks her backwards. The green energy finally unties the boy's shoelaces back to normal. The boy looks around and shrugs, then keeps walking.
	Fade to the Casper High cafeteria at lunchtime, and to the popular kids' table.
Dale	And all of a sudden, this locker door flies open and nails me.
Paulina	(Brushing foam out of her hair.) I'm gonna be brushing this stuff out of my hair for a week!
Kwan	It's like, this school is haunted.
	Pan to Tucker, Sam, and Danny at another table.
Sam	Apparently, someone's been busy.
Danny	It wasn't me, I swear!
	Danny suddenly turns invisible and goes to overshadow Dash, who is just sitting down between Kwan and Dale. He causes Dash to dump his tray of food on Paulina, then leaves his body. Dash shakes his head clear and scratches it in confusion. Danny then goes back to his table and turns visible again.
Danny	Now that was me.
Sam	Danny, I don't think you should be using your powers like--
	Sam suddenly sees Mr. Lancer standing in the cafeteria doorway.
Sam	Lancer. I'll be right back! (Runs off.)
Tucker	Don't listen to her, Danny. It's about time somebody struck a blow for Sidney Poindexter.
Danny	Sidney who-dexter?
Tucker	Sidney Poindexter. (Takes out PDA and taps on it.) Locker 724 was originally owned by a Poindexter back in the fifties.
	Cut to Tucker's PDA screen, which says that Poindexter attended Casper High from 1954-1958. Fade to a black-and-white flashback version of Casper High, where students dressed in 50's-styled clothing are walking in the hallway. Poindexter adjusts his bowtie in the mirror in locker 724, then closes the door and walks down the hallway.
Tucker	(Voice-over from the present:) Poindexter was the victim of more cruel pranks (A bully sticks a "Kick Me" sign on Poindexter's back.) than anyone in the history of Casper High School. (Cut to a group of boys directing another boy to pick on Poindexter.) Apparently, picking on him was a graduation requirement. (The boy kicks Poindexter from behind while he's smelling flowers, then laughs. Cut to Poindexter being shoved into his locker.) He got stuffed into his locker so many times, (Fade back to Tucker in the present.) it's believed his spirit still inhabits it to this very day.
	Sam walks back up to the table, carrying a box of frogs.
Danny	Sam, what are you doing?
Sam	(Suspiciously:) Nothing. (Setting box down on the table bench.) Certainly not trying to smuggle frogs out of the bio lab while Lancer isn't looking.
	Suddenly, Danny is pelted in the face with several hamburger patties.
Dash	Hey, guys. (Cut to Dash holding patties, surrounded by several jocks.) What do you say we "meat" my new locker neighbor?
	Danny wipes off the patties and glares at Dash, his eyes glowing green. Sam holds him back.
Sam	Easy, Danny. Take it easy.
Danny	(Sighs.) You're right, Sam. I--
	Danny suddenly gets pelted by more patties, cheese, veggies, and finally a giant loaf of bread that lands on his head.
Dash	(Walking away.) Enjoy your sandwich, neighbor.
Danny	That's it! (Takes bread off of head.)
Tucker	Hmm. I wonder how Dash would feel if he had a frog in his throat.
Danny	Or twelve. In his pants. (Looks at box of frogs.)
Sam	(Picks up box.) Oh, no. You're not gonna exploit innocent amphibians for some juvenile revenge scheme.
	Danny's eyes look indifferent, then glow green with mischief as frogs jump in their reflection.
	Cut to Dash opening his locker in an empty hallway, then pan to Danny as Phantom holding the box of frogs. He turns invisible, then yanks open the back of Dash's pants.
Dash	Hey!
	Danny yanks Dash's underwear up and over his head, and dumps the frogs into his pants. Dash's head tears through his underwear, and he cries out in pain as he hops down the hallway.
Dash	Wh-ow! Ow! O-ooh! (Repeatedly:) Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
	Danny chuckles to himself. Cut to locker 724, which begins to glow green as Poindexter speaks from within once more.
Poindexter	Bullies! (Suddenly phases halfway out of the locker door.) Hey! I'm free! Finally, the doorway's been opened! (Notices Danny laughing.) You think that's funny, buster?
Danny	(Notices Poindexter floating next to him.) Huh? What? You can see me?
Poindexter	Yeah, that's right, bub. Now leave that poor kid alone.
Danny	(Turns fully visible.) What? Oh. (Laughs.) Oh, man. That's good. Man, do you ever have it backwards.
Poindexter	Don't hand me that jazz, Clyde. You're the bully from where I'm standing.
Danny	(Points at his feet.) Uh, floating.
Poindexter	Uh, okay. Floating. Let's see how (Raises arms and hands begin to glow green.) you like getting bullied.
	Poindexter causes the lockers in the hallway to glow green. His eyes turn solid red, and school supplies fly out of the lockers. Cut to the cafeteria, where lunch trays suddenly smack into students' faces and food flies all over the room. Cut to a science lab, where Mr. Lancer is searching around for the frogs Sam stole.
Mr. Lancer	I know those frogs were here somewhere.
	The beakers and other science equipment in the room suddenly break and shatter.
Mr. Lancer	Great Gatsby!
	Cut to Maddie and Jack walking up to the front doors of the school. Jazz cuts them off before they can go in.
Jazz	How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing weird going on in this school!
	Maddie and Jack share a disbelieving look. Suddenly, a crowd of students runs out of the front doors, screaming in fear.
Jack	Move, Maddie, move!
	Jack and Maddie run into the school, Jack wearing the Ghost Gauntlets. Jazz slaps her forehead in annoyance. Cut back to the hallway, where school supplies are flying through an intangible Danny.
Danny	Look, you don't understand.
Poindexter	I understand a bully when I see one.
	Poindexter shoots a ghost ray out of his eyes, which hits Danny, sends him through a wall through a library, and lands him in another hallway. Danny, still intangible, flies back and looks around sticking out of a wall of lockers. Meanwhile, Sam is rounding up loose frogs and putting them back into the box.
Sam	There you go, little fellas.
	Danny and Poindexter come to a stand-off in the hallway around Sam.
Poindexter	Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, bully. (Danny turns visible.) I'm Sidney Poindexter, (Tucker walks up next to him. Gesturing to Tucker:) and wherever there is a single nerd in need, I shall be there.
Tucker	Hey, who're calling a nerd?
	Danny flies at Poindexter, but he turns intangible and Danny flies into Tucker instead. They crash into some lockers and fall to the ground. Poindexter turns tangible again.
Tucker	That's the guy who used to have your locker. In your face, Mr. Skeptic.
Poindexter	In his face? (Pulls out an ink pen.) Swell idea.
	Poindexter causes the pen to spray ink in Danny's face. He laughs, but then Danny turns intangible and flies into him, sending them both through the floor and into the basement. Danny, weak from the attack, transforms back into his human self automatically.
Poindexter	Holy socks! You're the halfa!
Danny	The what-a?
Poindexter	The halfa. Everybody in the Ghost Zone talks about you. You're half a boy, half a ghost. The halfa! You have all our powers on the human plane. An-- (Suddenly angry.) And you're using your powers for evil?
Danny	No! Look! Just listen! I-I took over Dash's body because--
Poindexter	Hey, wait. You can take over a person's body? Jeepers creepers, I would flip if I had your powers. I wonder...
	Poindexter turns intangible and flies into Danny's body, which starts glowing green and shaking as Danny struggles to resist.
Danny	Hey! What are you doing?!
Poindexter	Giving you a taste of your own medicine, bully.
Danny	Listen to me! Dash-- isn't--
	Danny's face and body begin to distort into weird positions, which are accompanied by strange sounds, until a sudden calm comes over his body.
Poindexter	You might use your powers to pick on innocent kids...
	Danny's ghost half intangibly floats up out of his body and through the ceiling.
Poindexter	(Now possessing Danny's body.) But I sure as sugar won't.
	Danny's ghost half floats into locker 724 and into the mirror. On the other side, a locker door opens up to show students walking in a black-and-white fifties' version of Casper High in the Ghost Zone. A jock walking by doubles back to look into the locker.
'50s Jock #1	Hey, Poindexter.
	Danny looks in the mirror behind him in the locker to see that he now looks like Poindexter. He screams.
	Fade to commercial break.
	Fade onto Jack and Maddie running down a Casper High hallway, followed by Mr. Lancer. They come up to Tucker and Sam, who still has the box of frogs.
Maddie	Is it true? Did you kids just witness a ghost attack?
Jack	Fear not, young ones. (Raises electrified Ghost Gauntlets in the air.) These gloves are made for grabbing!
	Poindexter (in Danny's body) phases up intangibly through the floor behind Maddie. Tucker sees and gasps, then goes over to block Poindexter from view as he turns tangible again.
Tucker	Uh, no ghost here, Mr. and Mrs. F.
Mr. Lancer	Only a girl trying to create a diversion for her own needs.
Sam	Right. Right. No ghosts here.
	The adults run off.
Tucker	Watch it, Danny. Your parents almost caught your intangible act.
	Poindexter smirks in satisfaction of not being suspected. Fade into the Ghost Zone Casper High, where Danny (in Poindexter's body) is walking down a hallway.
Danny	Where am I? It's like I dropped into Grandpa Fenton's yearbook.
	A male teen comes up to Danny, making him stop.
Teen #1	Hey, Poindexter. (Points at Danny's chest.) You got a spot on your shirt. (Flicks finger up to hit Danny in the nose.) Ha! Made you look! (Walks away.)
	Students in the hallway laugh as Danny glares and turns to keep walking, only to be tripped by a girl in a poodle skirt.
Poodle skirt girl	Have a nice trip, Poindexter. See you next fall. (Walks away.)
	While Danny is still on the ground, a punk male teen in a leather jacket grabs the back of his pants and pulls his underwear up to lift him into the air, giving him a wedgie.
Punk	Hey, don't you know there's a dress code, Poindexter?
	He lets go of the underwear and it snaps over Danny's head. Danny rips it off and runs to go through the front doors of the school. only to struggle to keep himself from falling as he realizes there's no ground as the school is floating in the Ghost Zone. He falls, but catches himself on the front step and tries to pull himself back up.
Danny	I got to get out of here!
	Cut to Sam, Poindexter, and Tucker walking down a hallway. Tucker is now carrying the frogs.
Poindexter	Ooh, ooh! Spiff diddly dee, man. So this is what it's like to have friends.
Sam	You sure you're alright, Danny?
Tucker	Danny?
Poindexter	Oh, me? Yeah, right. I'm right like Ike, Mike.
Sam	Why does your voice sound so weird?
Poindexter	Uh...puberty?
Tucker	What happened to Poindexter?
Poindexter	Oh, that square? (They stop walking.) He flew the coop. Permanent-like.
	Poindexter continues walking as Sam and Tucker stay behind, staring suspiciously at him. Cut to Dash hitting a vending machine.
Dash	Come on! Give me my soda!
Poindexter	Hey, let me help you out there, pal.
	Poindexter phases an intangible hand through the side of the vending machine as Sam and Tucker walk up. He fumbles around until the machine clicks and dispenses a soda. Dash takes it and drinks it.
Dash	(Crushing the can.) Thanks, Fenton.
Poindexter	Eh, no problemo.
Dash	What, are you going through puberty? (Sam and Tucker share a questioning look.) Uh, you know, I'm a little tight on quarters. Think you can get a few more sodas for me and my pals?
Poindexter	Hehe, you betcha. (Winks and phases a hand into the machine again to dispense more sodas.)
Sam	Danny, that's stealing.
Poindexter	(Gathering the sodas in his arms.) Eh, I'm sure that poor kid lost more than his fair share of quarters to the vicious bullies in this school. It's time somebody evened the score. (Passing out sodas to Dash and his friends.) Hey, everybody! Egg creams on me.
Kwan	I don't know what the heck an egg cream is, but thanks!
Sam	Well, this is new.
	Fade to Danny walking up to locker 724 in the Ghost Zone Casper High.
Danny	This is how I came in. (Opens locker.) There's got to be a way back!
	Danny touches the mirror inside. Cut to the present-day locker 724, which glows green and flies open. Danny looks through the mirror to see what's happening.
Danny	(In the mirror:) Huh?
	He sees Poindexter (in Danny's body) continuing to pass out sodas to a bunch of students. Danny then notices Dash.
Dash	(Toasting his soda.) Here's to Fenton! (The students cheer and raise their sodas.)
Danny	What the heck?! (Sam and Tucker walk by the locker.) Tucker! Sam! It's me, Danny!
Kwan	(Comes up to Poindexter.) Hey, Fentonmeister! We're short one for touch football. Are you in?
Poindexter	Posi-lutely abs-itively.
Kwan	Posi-lutely? (Laughs.) When did you get a sense of humor?
	Dash, Kwan, and the other students lead Poindexter away as they continue to cheer. Poindexter suddenly notices that locker 724 is open and rushes ahead to close it quickly. On his side of the mirror, Danny is thrown back from the force across the hallway. A jock comes up to him.
'50s Jock #2	Hey, Poindexter. What's black and blue and can't touch the floor? Hehe.
Danny	I...give up.
'50s Jock #2	(Picks Danny up off the floor.) You! Ha!
	Danny braces for impact before he gets punched. Fade to the present-day Casper High football field, where two groups of students are huddled up separately, one of which includes Poindexter and the jocks.
Dash	Okay, Fenton. After the snap, I'll hand the ball off to you. (Poindexter salutes and runs off, laughing crazily.) (To the rest of the group:) Leave him wide open for punishment.
	The group breaks its huddle and lines up for the snap.
	Cut to Casper High in the Ghost Zone, where Danny is hanging by his shirt from a ceiling fan, struggling to get down. His shirt finally rips and he falls to the floor, then runs over to open locker 724. He puts his hands on the mirror inside.
Danny	Have to contact them somehow.
	He emits a green energy that transfers through the mirror and into the present-day version of the locker. The energy then travels as a ray down the hallway and outside to the football field, where it begins to carve a message into the turf at Sam and Tucker's feet. Meanwhile, the two groups of students are lined up for the football snap. Dale snaps the ball to Dash, who winks at him and Kwan as a signal for them to give Poindexter space. Dash then hands the ball to a confused Poindexter. Sam and Tucker wince in anticipation of the impending tackle.
Sam	Well, it was nice knowing him.
Tucker	Think I can have his computer?
	The green energy finishes writing the message in the turf, which reads, "TUCKER, SAM, OPEN LOCKER 724." Meanwhile, the opposing team tries to tackle Poindexter, but he goes intangible and phases out of the pile of players to run the ball in for a touchdown. Dash and his friends look astonished.
Dash	Fenton's got game! Who knew?
	Poindexter does a little touchdown dance of celebration. Sam and Tucker look happy and relieved he didn't get hurt, and look down at the ground at their feet. However, before they have a chance to see Danny's message to them, Jack and Maddie run up, wiping out the message with their feet.
Jack	There's a ghost in here. I can feel it in my boots! And I'm not leaving this campus (Holds up Ghost Gauntlets.) 'til these gloves grab some ghost.
	The Fenton Finder that Maddie is holding begins to beep, and she turns it towards the source: Poindexter in Danny's body. The Fenton Finder reads, "GHOST!" and shows Danny's image.
Maddie	A ghost? That can't be right. Hmm. Looks like we'll be staking out the school all night. Don't wait up.
Jack	In that case, I need to use the little ghost hunters' room. (Hands Tucker the gauntlets.) Hold these gloves, son. Where I'm going, there's no need for that much power. (He and Maddie run off.)
Dash	Party at Fenton's house! (Students cheer.)
Poindexter	Hot dog! Where does he live!
Kwan	It's your house, bonehead. Is he hilarious or what?
Sam	Free soda, a touchdown, and the opportunity to trash a classmate's living room. How easily the letter jacket and pom-pom set is swayed.
Tucker	I don't know. Danny seems a little...off.
Sam	(Looks at the "Save the Frogs!" badge on her shirt.) Although, the residual popularity effect could work to our advantage. (Runs over to Kwan, waving the badge.) Oh, Kwan! You simply must wear one of these "Save the Frogs!" badges. It's all the rage.
Kwan	I don't know...
Poindexter	(Taking the badge.) Hey! Boss badge. Can I have one?
	He puts the badge on his shirt. The other popular kids begin to crowd around him.
Dash	Hey, I want one!
Paulina	Me, too. I can wear it with my old army lime green baby tee!
Kwan	(To Sam:) Give me one, yo! I started this trend.
Sam	Hang on, folks. (Her and Tucker begin to run away.) Plenty more in my locker where that one came from.
	Cut to locker 724, glowing green. Just as Sam and Tucker walk by, the locker door flies open, scaring them both.
Danny	(From inside the mirror:) Sam! Tucker! In here!
Sam	Poindexter?
Danny	No! It's me, Danny! Poindexter took over my body and sent me into this bizarro spirit world.
	Sam and Tucker share a disbelieving look. They both cross their arms.
Sam	Prove it.
Danny	In second grade, Tucker threw up in your lunch box, but he told you Ricky Marsh did it.
	Tucker waves his hands to stop Danny as Sam gasps.
Sam	What? I kicked him off the monkey bars for that! (Points at Tucker, who smiles guiltily.) It was you?
	Tucker and Sam stop in realization and look back in the mirror.
Sam and Tucker	Danny?
Danny	(Trying to get through the mirror.) The mirror acts as some kind of portal, but I can't phase through it. (Sighs in defeat.) Serves me right. I'm only in here because I was acting like a bully. Now I'm in here and I'm gonna get bullied for the rest of eternity!
Sam	You might not be able to get out, but that doesn't mean Poindexter can't get back in.
Tucker	I doubt he's in a big hurry to go back where he came from.
Danny	(Thinks and gets an idea.) I know how to get him in here. Here's what you need to do.
	Fade to Sam running and pulling Poindexter by the arm down the hallway.
Sam	Danny! Come quick! A bully is shoving a poor, defenseless nerd inside his own locker.
	Cut to Tucker standing indifferently with his hands behind his back in front of an open locker 724. Sam stops running and Poindexter skids to halt.
Poindexter	Tucker! I'll save you! (Goes ghost.) Hey, there's no nerd getting shoved inside his locker.
	Tucker casually walks forward, then produces the Ghost Gauntlets from behind his back. Poindexter screams, and Tucker grabs him with the gauntlets.
Tucker	There is now.
Poindexter	Noooooo!
	As Poindexter yells, Tucker shoves him into the locker and through the mirror to a waiting Danny, who pulls him out on his side of the mirror into the hallway on the floor.
Danny	You've had your fun. Now I want my body and my life back.
Poindexter	(Stands up.) Forget you, bully! You're not going anywhere.
	Poindexter flies at Danny, but is shaky and ends up hitting him with his backside. Danny crashes into a wall, and Poindexter flies at him again, this time more confident and stable.
Poindexter	Haha! (Turns intangible.) I'm doing it!
	Danny narrowly dodges the attack, and Poindexter phases through the wall.
Danny	You may have my powers, but you sure don't know how to use them. 'Course, I don't know how to use them, but at least I know how not to use them better than you do.
	Poindexter phases back out of the wall and tries to hit Danny mid-air, which Danny dodges.
Danny	You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses. (Ducks as Poindexter tries to hit him.) You couldn't hit a guy with glasses. (Ducks another hit.) In fact, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!
Poindexter	(Frustrated:) Hold still.
	The school bell rings, and students come out of classrooms and crowd around Danny and Poindexter.
Students	(Chanting:) Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
	Poindexter tries to hit Danny as he continues to duck, then tries to hit him again, the momentum of the swing making him spin.
'50s Jock #3	Hey! Get a load of Poindexter. He's fighting the halfa!
Greaser	Hehe! Look at him stand up to that weird-haired ghost boy.
Danny	I'm not a bully!
	Poindexter takes the opportunity of distraction to punch Danny into locker 724, the door closing on him.
Poindexter	Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna live it up some more in your body.
	The locker opens and Danny steps out, holding the mirror above his head.
Poindexter	What?!
Danny	One false move, and I smash your door back to my world.
Poindexter	You wouldn't. You'd strand us both here.
Danny	(Lowers mirror.) Try me.
	Poindexter reaches for the mirror, and Danny pulls it back.
Poindexter	I've got a better idea. I can make you. With your powers, I can make you do anything.
	Poindexter turns intangible and phases into Danny, who drops the mirror and glows green.
Danny	That's what I was hoping you'd do.
	His face once again distorts into weird positions, and he falls on the floor. Danny, now back in his own body, phases out of Poindexter and flies into the air.
Poindexter	(In his own body:) Huh? No!
	Danny flies into the mirror. Poindexter picks it up, yelling at it.
Poindexter	I'll get out of here, buster brown! And when I do, you better watch it!
	A group of students walks up behind him.
'50s Jock #3	Hey, nerd! Nice job standing up to the halfa.
Greaser	Who'd have thought you had it in you?
Poodle skirt girl	You wanna grab an egg cream?
	Poindexter smiles and puts the mirror back in his locker.
Poindexter	Of course, I could hang here (Closes locker.) for a little bit. (To students:) Hey, the heck with the egg cream. Who's up for a diet soda? Whatever that is!
	Cut to Mr. Lancer carrying a box of frogs in the present-day Casper High. Right as he passes locker 724, Danny falls out of it (back in his human form), knocking them both to the ground. The frogs begin to hop away out of the dropped box. Mr. Lancer runs after them, passing Sam and Tucker leaning on some lockers.
Mr. Lancer	No! Come back!
Sam	(Sarcastically:) Oh, dear. Whatever will we do? (Danny walks up to them, looking down.) Good one, Danny.
Tucker	Yeah. But how do we know you're really Danny?
Danny	Because I used my powers for the wrong reason and became exactly the kind of person I hate. It got me into a load of trouble, and I'm not gonna do that again.
Sam	Now that's the Danny I remember.
Danny	(Takes mirror out of locker.) Just one more thing to do.
	Danny throws the mirror on the ground, shattering it.
Mr. Lancer	(Off-screen) Fenton! (The trio turns to look at him.) That's school property.
	Cut to Mr. Lancer wearing a "Save the Frogs!" badge standing in front of a crowd of students also wearing badges and holding signs for the frog campaign.
Danny	I can explain! (Hesitates.) Actually, I really can't.
Mr. Lancer	I'm holding you responsible for this and the escaped frogs, but seeing how (Looks at Dash.) upstanding students like Dash Baxter have made their opinions known, I'm willing to overlook the frogs. Miss Manson, you could learn a thing or two from them about activism. (Sam frowns.) Still, (Holds up a pencil and notebook.) that leaves the matter of your locker. I'm going to have to assign you a new one.
	Fade to a "Band Room" sign over a door, which Danny's new locker is next to. Danny closes his locker as the tuba player from earlier walks by. Dash and Kwan then walk up behind him.
Kwan	Hanging with band geeks, Fenton?
Dash	No amount of free soda's gonna fix that.
	They walk away, and two band kids, one of which is named Lyle, walk up to Danny.
Lyle	Hi. I'm Lyle. Wanna help me clean my spit valve? (Holds up his instrument.)
Danny	(Sighs.) My fifteen minutes of popularity is up, and I wasn't even here for it.
	Sam stands next to him, holding a mechanical frog.
Sam	Yeah, but at least it wasn't a total loss. (Looks at frog.) Looks like this baby's gonna get some use after all.
	Suddenly, the Box Ghost swoops in and takes the frog out of Sam's hands, flying above them.
Box Ghost	Aha! I am no longer the Box Ghost. I am now the mechanical frog ghost!
	The frog crackles with electricity and the Box Ghost drops it onto Tucker's head out of fear.
Box Ghost	Uh, I've changed my mind! I am once again the Box Ghost, who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians. (Raises arms.) Beware! (Phases through lockers.)
Danny	Now there's a guy who knows exactly who he is.
	The frog on Tucker's head croaks and the screen closes in on it.
	End
