Royal Pain

Chapter 11: The End

The Next Day

It was another typical morning at Casper High, students were loitering in the halls, socializing with their peers and gathering their things as they waited for the bell to ring to signal the start of class. At the end of the hall, Danny, Tucker and Sam met up and we're discussing the events from yesterday.

"That was quite a match yesterday..." Danny said, referring to the video game battle from yesterday.

"Yeah, it certainly was fun dominating you two at Doom 2 last night..." Sam said proudly while Tucker pouted.

"Enjoy your winning streak Sam because I am due for a comeback and soon. .." Tucker said, still feeling sore about losing at video games yesterday.

"Sure, Tucker..." Sam said with an eye roll at his dramatics.

Danny was amused by this and took a book out of his locker, happy with the brief moment of normalcy in his otherwise abnormal life. However, the moment was interrupted when the A-Listers appearing in the hall, with Paulina in the lead, obviously in high spirits about something.

"And then that Prince locked me in a tower, where I watched the ghost boy fight him in a duel, all just for the chance to have me as his bride...It was so romantic, the duel had a joust, archery and sword fight and my ghost boy beat the prince like super easy and then took me in his arms, where we would live happily ever after. .." Paulina said giddy like.

The trio of friends realized that she was talking about what went down yesterday in Dora ' s kingdom. They also saw that with the exception of Star, no one seemed to be that interested in what the popular girl was saying at all.

"That's some kind of dream Paulina..." A totally bored Dash muttered.

"I didn't even get to the best part, I even got to kiss him and everything..." Paulina said and Danny flinched upon hearing that.

Paulina was referring to when as soon as Aragon was down, she began to squeeze the life out of him with her tight hug and then tried to kiss him, only to end up pecking his cheek instead. It seems she was telling her friends a different version of the story. The other A-Listers didn't even look like they were listening anymore, expect Star who gave Paulina a dreamy look.

"It's so romantic Paulina...too bad stuff like that doesn't happen in real life..." Star said with a shrug.

"Wouldn't she like to know..." Tucker muttered while he listen to more of this conversation.

"Yeah pity, but whether in dreams or in real life...the ghost boy is always going to be my knight in shining armor..." Paulina swooned as she continued to walk and talk and her friends, not knowing or caring that the trio heard every single word as she gave her own version of the story.

Danny looked very uncomfortable, Tucker looked amused and Sam looked like she was about to barf up her breakfast as Paulina kept telling her suppose dream to anyone who was unfortunate enough to hear it, making it more and more absurd than what actually happened yesterday.

"Even her delusions have depths I never thought could fathom..." Sam said with an eye roll as she watch Paulina give her own version of the adventure she still thinks was all just a wild dream.

"It could be worse..." Tucker said with a shrug.

"How do you figure that?..." Danny asked, still uncomfortable with the way that Paulina twisted the details of yesterday's events.

"At least she's not making you meet her parents..." Tucker joked, referring to what Paulina said when she tried to use the duel as an excuse to force Danny into a long engagement with her.

Danny was not amused and just shut his locker, making sure that his books and thermos was in his backpack.

"Come on guys, class is about to start and I don't want another tardy if I can help it..."Danny said to his friends.

The trio soon left for homeroom, happy to be away from Paulina and anything about fairy tale for the time being.

Later that day

School had let out and Danny, Sam and Tucker were in good moods, since with the exception of the Box Ghost, they barely debt with any ghosts today and had no homework tonight and that meant a free afternoon to do whatever they felt like doing.

"So, anyone up for a mega video game rematch..." Danny suggested as he took a sip of his cola.

"I'm in..." Sam said.

"Me too, I still have to avenge myself in the VG world against Sam..." Tucker said while Sam just sent him a smirk.

"We'll see about that..." Sam said in a challenging tone of voice.

However before the trio of friends could do anything, an arrow flew by and hit a nearby tree, getting their attention.

"What?..." Danny said as he ran to get it.

"Not again, I thought we beat Aragon..." Tucker complained while Danny read the message.

"What's it say, Danny?..." Sam asked, feeling worried.

"It's an invitation to a party. .." Danny said happily.

"What?..." Tucker and Sam asked at the same time and read the message.

"To Sir Phantom, Lady Sam and Friar Tucker...

In honor of your heroic acts in helping liberate my kingdom once more , I invite you three to a grand ball being held in your honor, as well as the honor of Sir Winston, the kingdom's newest knight and captain of the Royal guards. The ball will be held at 6 o'clock and there will be music, entertainment, food and a merry making. I hope to see you three there.

Sign your good friend, Queen Dora of the kingdom of Aragon."

"A party..." Tucker said excitedly.

"A party in our honor, huh?..." Danny said with interest.

"As well as Winston's, looks like Dora gave him a promotion..." Sam said, feeling happy for the small but nice ghost who helped them a lot yesterday.

"This actually sounds like a lot of fun, I never really been to a medieval ball before..." Danny said before looking at his friends... "what do you guys think?..." He asked.

"I'm in..." Tucker said simply.

"Me too, I think it be nice seeing Dora now that her kingdom is no longer being oppressed. .." Sam said happily but noticed that there was something written at the back of the scroll.

"There's more to the message..." Sam pointed to the message and what looked to be drawing of medieval outfits.

"For the ball, these garments have been custom made for you three to wear, I hope it's to your liking..."Sam said as suddenly the pictures glowed and out of thin air appeared in real life.

Sam had a black and purple medieval ball gown with a spider web pattern, Danny had an outfit that had the same color scheme as his ghost suit and even his DP symbol as some kind of crest, and for Tucker, it was a yellow and green noble man suit. These outfits were medieval but cool looking.

"Cool..." Tucker said as he looked at his outfit.

"Nice outfit..." Danny commented at clothes given.

"Now this is the kind of medieval party I can get with..." Sam said as she admired the Gothic gown that was very much in her style.

Looks like they were going to party, medieval style!

A few hours later

At Dora ' s castle

Team Phantom, each dressed up in their medieval outfits, had arrived to see that the once dreary, depressing castle be so full of light and fun. They saw all of the citizens there, dancing, eating and just having a good time. It was a big contrast to the last party Sam had been to when she was trapped here.

Everyone was having fun!

"Now this is a party..." Danny said as he looked around, impressed.

"Looks like Dora went all out..." Sam commented.

"Sir Phantom! Lady Sam..." Dora suddenly appeared, with a guard right behind her.

"Hey Dora, this party looks amazing..." Danny said.

"Yeah, it does..." Sam said.

"Thank you..." Dora said.

"So where's Winston, your letter stated that he got knighted?..." Danny asked the queen ghost.

"Yes, and it was the biggest honor of my existence. .." Dora's guard said as he lifted his helmet, revealing to be Winston.

"Winston?..." The trio said pleasantly surprise.

"For Winston's bravery, I awarded him knighthood and made him my personal guard, since there is no one in this kingdom more loyal or courageous as he is..."Dora said, making Winston blush at the praise.

"That armor looks good on you..." Danny said kindly to the new knight.

"Thank you, I will do my best to show that I deserve it..." The new knight said.

"You already did yesterday..." Sam said smiling at him.

Suddenly the moment was spoiled when Tucker's stomach started grumbling, making Sam and Danny give him a look.

"Hey, mind if I can grab a bite..." Tucker asked and Dora laughed.

"Go right ahead, eat, dance and be merry..." Dora encourage while Tucker left for the buffet table.

"So where is your classmate? The poor girl that got kidnapped yesterday?..." Dora asked.

"Paulina is fine and safe at home and well, let's just say I think she has had enough castle's and princes for one day. .." Danny said, hoping Dora won't press for more.

Thankfully she didn't as she just nodded in understanding before changing the topic, as they just continued to talk and enjoy the party. They were all just having a nice time now that the kingdom's biggest threats have been dealt with and are serving time where they belong.

Meanwhile

In the dungeons

In the dark, dreary, cold and damp dungeon, a pair of ex royals were chained up in cells, both absolutely furious.

"LET ME OUT! I DO NOT BELONG IN HERE!..." Grimhilde screamed as she tried to break her shackles but without ether ring, she was practically powerless.

"RELEASE ME! I AM THE RULER OF THIS REALM! ME!..." Aragon yelled, unable to believe that he is a prisoner once again.

I DON'T DESERVE SUCH A FATE! I DESERVE TO BE IN THE CASTLE..." Grimhilde yelled, wishing that this wasn't so.

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!..."Aragon yelled at Grimhilde, blaming her for all that has happened.

My fault?! If you weren't so weak to lose to your sister, this never would have happened..."Grimhilde shot back, furious that he was like this.

Why you-" Soon the mother and son broke into the argument, both blaming the other for their defeat and imprisonment, although no one could hear them since the dungeon was basically empty with the exception of them.

Aragon and Grimhilde were all alone with each other, trapped in a disgusting cell as their former kingdom celebrated their defeat and hailed Dora as the true ruler.

It seems like you really do reap what you sow in the end.

Back at the party

While Aragon and Grimhilde were at each other's throats, Dora and her friends were enjoying themselves at the Grand ball, away from any hostility or thought of the dark ages. Tucker was even dancing with one of Dora's ladies in waiting, while everyone else was just plain happy.

Suddenly a new song came and Winston gave Dora shy look on his face.

"My queen, if it is not too forward, would you honor me with a dance?..." Winston asked, blushing up a storm.

"Certainly Winston..." Dora said as he took her hand and he lead her to the dance floor for a waltz.

All the while, Danny and Sam sent each other a knowing look, it was obvious that Winston seemed to have a little crush on Dora with how shy he acted, not to mention how he was willing to face Aragon's wrath to protect her yesterday.

"He likes her..." Sam said.

"Totally obvious. .." Danny commented as he watched the two dance.

As the song continued, Danny soon noticed that everyone, with the exception of him and Sam, we're happy dancing with a partner. The two teenagers noticed this and felt a little awkward to say the least.

"Um...Sam..." Danny started, feeling a little shy.

"Yeah?..." Sam asked.

"Since everyone else is dancing, do you want to?..." He asked her and Sam smiled at that.

"Sure, why not?..." Sam said as she took his hand and they joined the others on the dance floor, having just a nice FRIENDLY dance between two friends and nothing more.

It really was quite a tale want it? The evil dragon has been vanquished and the fair maiden had been saved, and the entire kingdom rejoiced as their beloved queen was back in power once again, all thanks to the courage and heroism of a once timid ghostly servant and three unusual teenagers who were now partying hard with their friend Dora.

The end

And done.

Short but fun.

I know that this is different from my other DP fanfics but that's the point. I wanted to make a story that could have been a plausible episode that just never got made. I liked doing it so much that I decided to make this my own series titled "Lost Episodes" which is basically a bunch of different stories that takes place before Phantom Planet, during season 3 to be more precise.

Here's my list of upcoming fics ideas:

1) Charmed and Dangerous: A shy wallflower with a crush on Danny discovers a ghostly charm bracelet which gives her powers of her own. She decides to use this power to do some good for Amity Park, as well as get noticed by her peers and by Danny. However she is unaware of the sinister story behind the charm and it's up to Danny to save the day and his classmate from it's dark effects.

2) Cursed at Casper High: Dash takes a "souvenir" from a ghost attack and gets cursed with bad luck because of it and begs Danny to help lift his "curse".

3) The werewolf of Amity Park: Danny begins acting strangely, while at the same time a mysterious beast is haunting Amity Park during the full moon.

4) Gender Defender: There's a new ghost villain in town called Misa Andry, a man-hating ghost on a rampage against all men, Danny fights her and the man-hating ghost places a spell on him, the end result is Danny being transformed into a girl. Now Danny has to track down Misa and find a way to change back into a boy before the effects become permanent.

5) Ailments of the unknown: Jack and Maddie go away to a ghost hunter convention, leaving Jazz in charge for a week. At the same time, Danny contacts a virus that seems to be deadly for ghosts. It's time for Jazz, Sam and Tucker to save Danny by finding the rare ingredients in order to make a cure before he succumbs to the fatal illness.

6) Day Scare: Spectra is up to her old tricks again and tries to steal youth once more, only to get into another fight with Team Phantom. An accident occurs and the end result has Danny turned into a 4 year old and causing "baby chaos", all over town. Now Tucker, Sam and Jazz have to find Danny and change him back before he gets himself (or anyone else) in big trouble.
