"Me? I almost got him killed? The only reason this happened was that you had to be unique. You had to take the meat away, and I'm gonna get it back," Tuck continued to argue with Sam before storming off.

 Shouting back at him Sam yelled "You wanna change that menu back? You're gonna have to go through me to do it!" She then ran out of the room slamming the door.

Giving the door a concerned look I address Danny. "That's slightly concerning but I'm gonna head home. Are you sure you'll be okay? From what I heard that ghost hit you hard."

"Don't worry I'll be fine but thanks for worrying about me," He said giving me a small smile before asking me a question. "Wait...Sam and Tucker told you?" 

Giving him a small smile I say "Yeah about how you tried to help Sam and then you were knocked out by that meat monster."

"Oh, I thought they had told you something way, way worse," He breathes a sigh of relief.

Chuckling at him I shake my head in disagreement. 

Getting out of bed Danny said, "Eh well I'm sure everything will be back to normal by tomorrow."

Danny and I look at the schoolyard in confusion at the two protests going on.

"Or not. Maybe it'll be worse," Danny grumbles.

 In the schoolyard there were two protests, one meat-themed one where a chef was cooking hamburgers, there were steak-shaped balloons, a guy in a steak costume, people carrying meat signs, someone was cooking pork,  someone else was serving meat on a stick and there was a huge stage with a few girls dressed at weenies dancing on it, Tucker yelling in a microphone.

"What do we want?!"

 Everyone replied with "MEAT!" 

"When do we want it?!" 

 "NOW!" 

On the other side of the school were the hippies and a bunch of fruits and veggies, people holding up signs while chanting with Sam.

"Veggies NOW! Veggies FOREVER!" 

When Sam noticed us she hopped off the school bus she was standing on and raced toward us, soon Tucker ran to us too.

"You guys put together two protests in one night?" Danny asked looking at both of our friends.

"That's honestly a little hard to believe but still impressive," I chime in, looking around. 

"Meat-eaters Danny and (y/n). Always ready to fight and our high protein diets give us the energy we need to do it quickly."

 "Ultra recyclo-vegetarians are always ready to protest and because we don't have to waste time cooking our food we can move even faster."

 Looking at our friends worriedly Danny had started to ask "Don't you guys think is a little..." 

I finished his sentence for him "Extreme?"

 Glaring at Sam, Tuck answered our question. "No choice buddy you're ether with me?" 

"Or you're against him," Sam cuts him off, and the two glare at each other.

Yelling in unison they ask us "So whose side are you on?!" 

Before we could even think of answering a storm appeared out of nowhere as the wind started blowing in our faces. Laughter came from the air as my ghost sense went off. All the meat started flying with the wind as a familiar meat monster formed: the ghost Lunch Lady. 

Everyone looked on in terror as the meat monster screamed "It's lunchtime!"

 Soon afterward everyone started running away in a panic, I joined the crowd losing sight of my friends as I tried to find a place to transform while Tuck shouted.

 "Meat! Why have you betrayed me?!"

Looking a bit annoyed Danny looked to see if (y/n) was around before telling Sam and Tuck "Guys time to make up. NOW!" 

Still glaring at each other they hugged each other covering Danny while he transformed.

At the back of the school, Jazz was talking to Spike, one of the few goths in the school, completely missing the commotion in front of the school.

"Spike you have to open up to your parents. Be true to yourself and them. Tell them how you feel. I mean it's not like they're gonna attack you or anything," Jazz said crossing her arms before having a net launched at her. 

Screaming she was dragged away from Spike. 

"I've got her! The Fenton Grappler is workin' like a charm," Jack said as (m/n) helped reel Jazz in. 

"I don't understand. If Jazz is a ghost why hasn't she phased through the net?" Maddie asked confused.

"Because I'm not a ghost! You've ambushed me, suffocated me with smoke, and worse I was pulled away from Spike before he had his breakthrough! What do you have to say for yourselves?!" Jazz yells at them, throwing the net at (d/n) before Jack shoves the Fenton Thermos in her face.

"Eat hot Fenton Thermos ghost gal!" 

They all stared at the broken thermos while Jazz glared at her father. 

"Mm, the darn thing still doesn't work," Jack stated shaking the Fenton Thermos.

After transforming I fly up to the Lunch Lady the ghost boy from earlier soon joining me and cracking a joke.

"Funny seeing you here. Come here often?"

"Oh, a jokster are you? That'll keep things interesting. I actually came for the all-meat buffet, it's clearly popular," I joke back gesturing toward the Lunch Lady as she threw a punch at us.

It was easy to dodge along with her other hits before we flew up and over her, swiftly kicking her behind the head, and causing her to faceplant.
