Shot of Casper High. The bell rings. In front of the school, a banner reads "Spirit Week Centennial: 100 Years of Casper Spirit". It cuts to Lancer jumping in the air as he cheers.

Lancer: Casper! High! Spirit! Oomph!

He falls on the ground. Jazz looks down at him. He looks up.

Lancer: Ahh, Spirit Week. I love it so. The pomp, the circumstance, and mostly the spirit sparklers! 
Jasmine, did you know I was a cheerleader when I went to school here?

He whips out a photo of a younger Lancer cheerleading.

Jazz: Really? Weird. No clue. Look, can I talk to you for a minute, Mr. Lancer?

Cut to Danny in the hallway walking past Spectra's office.

Jazz: About my brother Danny and Diego? They've been acting really strange lately. Like their not themselves anymore.

Danny goes intangible and flies through the door. Bertrand growls and they exchange blows. Back with Jazz and Lancer.

Jazz: I'd talk to him, but I'm his older sister and he's just going to think I'm being bossy, we practically took Diego in and me and him are barely connecting. And if they doesn't get some help, if they doesn't talk to somebody--

Cut to Danny's fight with Bertrand.

Jazz: all that frustration he's repressing could come out the wrong way.

Danny shoots several ectoblasts at Bertrand but misses. Bertrand growls at Danny, then flees through the ceiling. Danny transforms back to his human form. Suddenly Lancer opens the door to find Danny in Spectra's destroyed office.

Danny: Good one, Fenton. You let him get away, you idiot. Diego will never let me hear the end of this.

Lancer grabs him by the collar and yanks him off-screen.

===========================

Camera opens in front of Casper High. Some random student knocks another random student's books out of his hands.

Jazz: Is it always so cold in here?

Spectra is seen turning the thermostat from "Cold" to "Colder".

Spectra: Of course! I find that cold temperatures keep the mind icy sharp. And don't you worry about this mess of an office, either. Stuff happens! No biggie. Right, Jasmine?

Jazz: It's Jazz. My friends call me Jazz.

Danny: Yeah, well, your brother calls you fink!

Diego: Why am I in here?

Jazz: Danny, I'm just trying to help. Come on, we used to talk all the time. And Diego you barely talk to us.

Danny: Yeah, when I was 8 and you weren't a fink.

Diego: I just don't want to talk that's all.

Lancer: That's more than enough out of you, Fenton. Get to class while Ms. Spectra and I decide what your punishment is.

Danny scowls at Jazz, then stomps off in a huff. Diego follows with hands in his jacket pocket.

Lancer: Unlike her brother, Jazz is one of Casper's best and brightest as well is Mister Martinez but he's, shy. She'll be giving the keynote pep speech at our centennial Spirit-a-thon on Wednesday.

Danny Phantom: Busting makes me feel goodWhere stories live. Discover now
