The Casper High cheerleaders were going through their routine before the football game started, egging on the other team.
"Casper's cool, and you're a dud! We will drag you through the mud!"
Paulina, who was at the front, turned around with an evil grin, kicked the legs out from underneath the girls who were at the base of the pyramid, and watched everyone tumble into the mud.
"You can say that again."
With an amused smile, Paulina runs off, only for her to show up a moment later, shouting the chant when she notices her friends, covered in mud, on the ground.
"Oh come on, guys, you're getting too real!" She scolds them with her hands on her hips, all the girls glaring.

"Tucker! Dinner time!" Tucker's mom shouted from the kitchen as she placed the meal on the table.
Tucker rushed downstairs.
"Ah, mother's meatloaf, its warm embrace beckons me," Tucker exclaimed, giving his mom a hug, who rolls her eyes lovingly.
"Honey, I'm home!" Tucker's dad called out as he came home.
He drops his suitcase on the floor before walking over and blowing a raspberry in his wife's face.
"Ah! Maurice! What in the world?!" She asks, wiping the spit off her face as the two watch Maurice pick up the meatloaf and take a big bite before excusing himself.
"Sorry, honey, I just love your cooking..." He smiles evilly before taking the meatloaf and shoving it on his wife's head. "...On your head!"
He hops out the window only to re-open the door and come back in.
"Hi, honey, I'm—"
Maurice was cut off as his wife slammed the platter into his face.
Peeling it off and fixing his glasses, he asks, "Did I miss meatloaf?"

At the park, Dash was playing catch with his dog.
He throws the frisbee, telling his dog, "Go get it, Pookie!"
Pookie races off to catch the frisbee out of sight, only for Pookie to emerge from the bushes to Dash's left.
Dash gives his dog a confused look when a park ranger walks up.
"You do realize your dog is supposed to be on a leash at all times?" He asks, and Dash bends down and gives Pookie scritches as he explains.
"Sorry, officer, but Pookie here is so sweet, he wouldn't hurt a fly."
The officer bends down to pet the dog when he starts growling and biting at the officer, surprising Dash as Pookie chases the officer just as Pookie came back with the frisbee.
"You are totally the most baddest dog ever, Pookie! Tonight I'm watching the romance channel by myself!" Dash shouts at Pookie, who whimpers.
The violent Pookie runs out of the park and glows blue before forming into black putty that forms itself into a faceless man wearing a black trench coat and fedora.
He looks around to see the cheerleaders chasing Paulina, and Tucker's mother chasing Maurice, with Tucker trying to keep his mom from hitting his dad.
"Another day, another town to turn completely upside down," The figure said with a chuckle as he floated down the street.

The school bus drove its elementary schoolers to school, passing by a rest stop. A black cat with red eyes runs into the street chasing a butterfly, catching the driver off guard as he slammed on the brakes, the bus swerving over the cliff with everyone screaming.
The bus starts to plummet when suddenly it stops, and everyone looks out their window to see Danny and (s/n) had caught the bus before it hit the water.
"Okay, gang, we know this bus is dirty, but there are easier ways to wash it," Danny tells them as the kids start to cheer.
"Danny Phantom and (s/n)!"
Soon, cameras were pulled out and flashes came on as the two smiled for the surprise photoshoot. They land the bus safely back onto the road, and it goes back on its way to school.
"There you go, wouldn't want you to miss one day of happy therapy-induced memories!" Danny shouts to the kids as (s/n) looked around the empty street for the cat.
"You two are heroes, Danny Phantom, (s/n)!" We hear the bus driver call back as Danny rubs his neck.
"Heh...Heroes, now for the cat."
"Probably got scared and ran home, and speaking of home..." (s/n) trails off.
Not seeing the cat anywhere, the two take off.
"Hmm, that got a tad out of hand. All I wanted to do was frighten them, get a laugh or two," The cat murmured from the shadows.
It shapeshifts back into its original form, the faceless man.
"I suppose it's fortunate that those nauseating goodie goodies were here. I may have no face of my own, but I'm seen everywhere, and my pranks are the talk of the town. Good news travels fast..." He started to celebrate as he read the newspaper when the latest newspaper was thrown over the stack, covering his madness with the latest headline on how the two saved those kids.
"Too fast! How dare that fuzzy-wuzzy couple steal my headline?!" He asks, shaking in anger. "Fine..."
He morphs into two, taking the appearance of Danny Phantom and (s/n).
"They want a contest? They've got one..."
.

"Doh, would you look at this nonsense?! Danny Phantom and (s/n) saves kids!" Jack scoffs as he hands the newspaper to Mom.
"That's the fifth heroic act this week!" Maddie scoffed as well.
"This is really disproving our hypothesis that all ghosts are evil..." Mom trails off, rubbing her eyes with her thumb and pointer finger.
"At least that we know of," Jazz says, giving us a wink as Jack looks over the paper again.
"If they keep this up, they're bound to make the town forget they're nothing but self-aware ectoplasm!"
Taking the newspaper, Jazz cuts out the article and adds it to her scrapbook.
