3RD POV

The episode opens on a ship and pans to a row of warehouses and other buildings along a dock. Inside one of the buildings, the Box Ghost phases through a wall and crashes into a pile of boxes. Danny also phases through to just in front of the wall, and they both turn visible.

Danny's POV

"Beware! I am the Box Ghost! I have power over all containers, cardboard and square." said the ghost.

"Okay, can we get this over with? I've got a rest to study for." I said, folding my arms across my chest.

"Study? There will be no time to study when you find yourself crushed beneath the forgotten possessions of..." He trails off and reads the label on one of the boxes. "Elliott Kravitz of Arlington Heights, Illinois!" He finished and he turns to me and sends the boxes and their contents my way.

I turn intangible and the stuff hits the wall behind me. "I don't have time for this! Hey, Tucker, let's go!" I said, annoyed. 

Tucker, Sam and Magnolia kick down the door and jump into the room we were in. Magnolia is carrying a textbook and Tucker is carrying the Fenton Thermos. 

"Goodnight everybody!" Tucker said as he opens the thermos and activates it. I grab the Box Ghost and throw him into the beam of the thermos. He screams and gets sucked in and Tucker caps the Thermos.

"Perimeter secure." Tucker said.

"Perimeter secure? What are you, a Navy Seal?" Sam asked him.

"Seals: aquatic mammals that bark. They're canines, right?" I asked. 

Magnolia checks the textbook and said. "Wrong. That's zero for twenty-one."

Tucker spins the thermos on his finger, like it was a basketball, and said. "I'm not teacher, but I'm guessing that's an F."

"Come on, you guys. If you're gonna be superhero sidekicks, you're gonna have to be a little more focused." I said as I fly between Magnolia and Tucker. 

I turn to Magnolia and Sam and said. "You two are supposed to help me study for the test tomorrow." I said, then I fly over to Tucker and said. "And you're supposed to be helping me catch these ghost so I have time to study!"

"What? They're all right here." Tucker said. And as if on que, the thermos falls off of Tucker's finger and lands on the floor and the cap bursts off to release multiple ghosts, even the Box Ghost gets loose. 

"Ha, ha! I am the Box Ghost! You cannot hold me within the confines of a cylindrical container." He said and phases through the wall. 

"That's weird. According to my schedule, we should be done catching ghosts by now." Tucker said as he looks at his PDA. I glare at him as Magnolia face-palms at this.

Magnolia's POV

"I got a D?!" Danny exclaimed. It was the next day and we were in the library as Danny found out his test grade. 

"All this ghost hunting is taking away from my study time." Danny said. 

"So much for the Fenton's being a family of geniuses." Tucker said. 

"I can't get a D in biology. My parents will kill me." said Danny. 

Sam, who was sitting by a computer, said. "Not if you pull your grade up by doing an extra credit biology assignment on this magnificent creature." And she shows us a picture of a gorilla named Sampson.

"A purple back gorilla?" I asked her.

"Yep. Extremely rare. Only two left, both male. After this, they're gone forever. Which is why you are going to prove he deserves to be set free." Sam said, pointing at Danny.
