Magnolia's POV

"So, why exactly are we breaking our backs here, Sam?" Danny asked her as he, Tucker, Sam and I carry really heavy boxes down the hallway of Casper High. 

"Frogs' rights. We have to stop dissecting frogs in our school biology labs. And at today's assembly, I'm gonna demonstrate a humane alternative." She said as she tilts her box forward once we stop walking. 

"I Can't Believe It's Not a Frog Cadaver?" I read the label on her box. 

She puts it down and takes out an oozing mechanical frog, holding it out for display. "Please remove my detachable three chambered heart." The frog croaks.

Suddenly, Sam's box, on the ground, begins to glow green and shake to erupt a large 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. 

"Oh great. Him again." Danny said.

"I am the Box Ghost, and I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!" He exclaims as he glows green. 

Danny goes ghost and the Box Ghost levitate our boxes in the air. Meanwhile, Sam pulls the frog off of Tucker's face, leaving him covered in green slime. 

"Oh, gross!" Tucker said. 

"You guys get to the assembly. I'll get this moron sealed up tight." Danny said and we run off.

Danny's POV

Once they leave, I turn to face the Box Ghost only to see that he has opened one of the boxes and numerous scalpers rise up out of it. They fly at me but I turn it tangible and they land in the wall of lockers behind me. 

"Huh. Maybe Sam has a point." I muttered to myself as I feel my chest. Suddenly the Box Ghost slams into me, sending me through the lockers ND several more walls before I finally tumble into the backstage of the auditorium. 

"Oops." I said as I turn human.

"Tremble before the might of the Box Ghost as you are devoured by....uh, oh yeah. Costumes and props from the Broadway classic, My Fair Lady!" The Box Ghost said and he opens the box and a bundle of clothes rises up out of it. Then he hurls them towards me and I'm knocked backwards by the clothes and end up underneath a pile of them. 

"Beware!" He shouts as he laughs and leaves.

Magnolia's POV

Sam approaches the podium onstage in front of a closed curtain. 

"Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is taking place right here in our school and I'm about to show you what it is." Sam said into the mic. The curtains open behind her to reveal a large Save The Frogs sign.

Suddenly the students start to laugh. Sam and I turn and see that they are laughing at Danny, who is wearing a pink and white dress, a matching hat with a wig of curls and makeup. Danny glowers at the students as they continue to laugh. 

"Whoo! Take it off!" Tucker cheers. Sam and I glare at him then he said. "No, seriously. He should take it off. That's weird."

"Thanks to your little dress up parade, my Save the Frogs presentation was a total bust." Sam said to Danny as we walk down the hallway suddenly, people still laughing and pointing at Danny for the event from this morning. 

"And speaking of bust, did you see Danny in that bra? Puce is not your color, pal." Tucker said as Danny glares at him. 

"Yeah, and now because that idiot Box Ghost trashed my locker, I've been assigned a new one. Locker seven two four." Danny said as he reads the paper in his hand.
