Day 21: Double Date

Prepare for trouble, and make it double!

...oh, wait, wrong fandom...

Featuring, as always, @imekitty’s wonderful writing with the help of @bibliophileap's amazing ideas.

“Ghost boy, for our date this weekend, do you think you could bring a friend for my friend, Star?”

Danny looked down at Paulina from where he hovered in the air above the park. She was smiling up at him and looking way too pretty as usual. When she had asked him out on a date earlier that week, he of course could not decline.

But this new request was not something he was expecting.

“I really want her to come along,” explained Paulina. “A double date would be fun, don’t you think?”

Danny chewed the inside of his cheek. He really didn’t want to blow this opportunity, didn’t want to disappoint her and bring a frown to such a beautiful face. “I...guess I could find someone.”

Paulina clasped her hands. “Ooh, thank you, ghost boy! We’re going to have so much fun!” She blew him a kiss before taking off, practically leaping into the air every few steps.

Danny considered his options. Had to be a human, of course, and Tucker and Star had already dated and broken up.

That left just one other choice.

A couple days and a trip through the Fenton Ghost Catcher later, Super Danny and Fun Danny met up with Paulina and Star outside their decided meeting place, the Nasty Burger.

Sure thing! Hmmm, something I’m actually actively working on… well there’s Mid||Night, but that’s updating either later today or tomorrow, so how about this? I’ve been carrying around the draft of this fic in my bag for literally four months now as I’ve been waiting out this latest round of blocked creativity, to the point where the pages are dog-eared and scribbled with like, three colors of pens. I think I’m sloowly starting to get somewhere though. Here’s the newly minted intro:

There were a lot of ways Danny had imagined this vacation would go. Snow and skiing in the crisp mountain air. Sweeping views of the Catskills. Hot chocolate with extra whipped cream, maybe shared with one of those pretty Swiss girls Tucker swore practically lived in the ski lodges. “We doing this or what, Fenturd?”Danny sighed. “Yeah, give me a minute." 

“Are you telling me I can’t hit on her either?”  Tucker asked Danny when Vic flew up and joined them in the honored guests’ box.  Danny rolled his eyes.

“Just think of this as a no-flirting zone, Tuck.  Like, a family reunion or something.”

Well, he guessed this was as crazy as any of his family reunions.  And there was that time his Uncle Mike got into a fight with Second-Cousin Arlo, so…

He was distracted by Vic and Tali’s whispers, but he couldn’t quite catch what they were saying.  Tali nodded gravely as they finished, though.

“Change of plans,” she said.  “We’re working out some technical difficulties, so we’re switching up the phighters for this round.”

“Technical difficulties?”  Tucker asked.

“Yeah, looking into hiring more writers, keeping everyone on their toes, giving everyone a more even chance to know if they’re moving on to the next round or not,” Tali said.  “I meant to do this earlier actually.  Vic just reminded me.”

“Huh.  Well is there still gonna be a fight?”

“Of course!  The Phight must go on!”  She raised her megaphone.  “Introducing the phighters of match four!  From the Medieval Province, we have the mathematical Bibliophileap!”

“The derivative of 2x^2 is 4x,” Bibliophileap announced as she entered the ring.  Her medieval robes, which were embroidered with impossible-looking equations,  hovered a few inches above the ground.

“And from the Temporal Domain, a phighter who’s knowledge spans dimensions: Dannyphantom-justiceleague!”

“Oh great, it’s the beekeeper again,” Danny said, sinking deeper into his seat.

“Oof,” Tucker said.  He’d known Danny long enough to know his hatred of bees.

“PHIGHT!”

“Come, my children!” Dannyphantom-justiceleague said, opening their sack of bees.  The insects buzzed loudly as they circled in a pattern around them, forming a protective ring.

“Ah, a sine function,” Bibliophileap said sagely.  The bees were hovering up and down in time, creating a wave in the ring.  “I should be able to break through if I can calculate the antiderivative…”

She pulled out a scroll of parchment and a quill.  Unfortunately for her, the bees weren’t waiting on her to show her work.  They clumped together before firing at Bibliophileap like a giant laser of bees.

“Ahh!”  She cried out, falling to the pavement.  ““Alas! I must lie tangent... with the curves... of the ground....”

Tali blew her kazoo as Dannyphantom-justiceleague called back their bees.
