3RD POV

Fade to the outside of Casper High School, then to a hallway full of students. Danny, Sam, Tucker and Magnolia walk through the hallway before going up a flight of stairs.

Magnolia's POV

"I think I should tell them." said Danny as we walk to class. 

"Why? Parents don't listen. And even worse they don't understand. WHY CAN'T THEY ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM!!" Sam shouted. 

Me and the boys stare at her as Danny said. "Um Sam. We are talking about my powers, my problems?"

"Oh right. Me too." Sam said, embarrassingly.

"It's been a month since the accident and I still have barely any control. If somebody catches me I go from geek to freak around this place." Danny said as he starts to sink down the floor. 

"Kinda like what you're doing now?" I asked him. He raises his eyebrows and looks down and sees himself phasing through the floor and he yelps. I grabbed his right arm as Tucker grabs his left arm and the both of us pick him up. His legs and feet become tangible and he lands on his feet.

"Oh darn it! If my dad can invent something that makes me half ghost. Why can't he invent something that turns me back to normal?" Danny asked as he walks off. He goes intangible again and walks through the snack machine. 

"Danny, your powers make you unique. Unique is good! That's why I'm an ultra-recyclo vegetarian." Sam said as she walks in front of Danny as he goes tangible.

"Which means what?" Tucker asked.

"She doesn't eat anything with a face on it." I replied to him.

"Oh who cares about that stuff." Tucker said and he faces Danny. 

"Danny, two words: meat connoisseur." He said and then he sniffs the air around Danny. "Last night, you had Sloppy Joes. And Magnolia..." Then he sniffs the air around me. "Hmm you had steak last night."

"Impressive." Danny and I said as Tucker smiles, smugly.

"Meat heightens the senses and my all-meat streak is fourteen years strong." Tucker said. 

"And it's about to end. The school board finally agreed to try a new cafeteria menu. I wore them down." Sam said. 

"Wait....what did you do?" Tucker asked her, alamred.

Few minutes later, we make it to the cafeteria and see a big banner that said ULTRA RECYCLO VEGETARIAN WEEK. The boys and I walk up to the line and the lunch lady handed us a slice of bread with grass on top. 

"What is this?" Danny asked. "Grass on a bun?" I asked. 

Tucker turns to Sam and shouted, dramatically. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" 

Sam just smiles at him and said. "Tucker, it's time for a change." I just shake my head and we head to our table and look down at our pathetic lunch. 

"Don't you think this is a little extreme, Sam?" I asked her. 

"Ah, Miss Manson." said Lancer's voice. "The school board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our cafeteria." He said. 

At that moment, Tucker sniffs the air and said. "Meat. Near." Then he looks up at Lancer and sniffs the air around him. 

"No, no. The rumors about the new all-steak buffet in the teacher's lounge are completely untrue." said Mr Lancer as he pulls out a toothpick and places it between his teeth. "Thanks again." He said, quickly, to Sam and walks away from our table.
