At school Tuck, Danny, and I were helping Sam carry boxes filled with mechanical frogs, as we made our way to the auditorium. 

"So why exactly are we breaking our backs here Sam?" Danny asked Sam when she glared at him.

"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." 

Tucker looked over the boxes as he read in a questioning tone, "I can't believe it's not a frog cadaver?"

Smirking Sam put down her box and pulled out the continents inside a metal, mechanical frog that was oozing some sort of green goo, a mechanical voice ringing out.

"Ribbit, ribbit please remove my detachable three-chambered heart! Ribbit!" 

I made a quick shiver at the mechanical frog while looking at it with disgust I turned to Sam.

"Well I may not like the mechanical frog but I think it's great that you're standing up for frogs even though my reasons to do this would be entirely different."  

My friends looked at me expectantly, curious as to what my reasons would be for doing this. 

"I think at least once during a student's time at school they should dissect at least one thing and we have but high school is supposed to prep us for adulthood and instead of learning how to pay tax, get a job, buy a house with a mortgage, basic first aid, the laws, our 30 human rights, financial advice...You get the picture but instead, we're stuck with our pointless curriculum," I said as I counted of things we should be learning with my fingers. 

Danny looked at me with a smile and nodded in agreement. Suddenly our ghost senses went off and the box Sam had put down started to glow. One of the mechanical frogs landed on Tucker's head, and while he struggled to get it off, the Box Ghost appeared as Danny and I said in unison:

"Oh great...him again." 

"I am the Box Ghost and I will have my carigated cardboard vengeance!" He shouted as I began pushing my friends away from him.

"Go get the Fenton Thermos, I'll distract him!"

Danny quickly shook his head no, telling me, "I can't let you fight him alone!" 

Chuckling I ask "What's he gonna do? Stuff me in a small cardboard box?" I heard the Box Ghost growl at me, as I pushed Sam, Tuck, and Danny around the corner. 

I turned my head to see the Box Ghost flying towards me, his fist clenched and headed for my face. Quickly I ducked and moved to the side and watched as he flew into a wall.

"Hey! You missed!" I shouted to the Box Ghost as I went ghost, just in time too, Danny flew around the corner a second later. 

The Box ghost used his powers to lift the boxes as we heard Tucker shout "Ugh gross!" 

I could only guess Sam had pulled the frog off Tucker as Danny shouted to them, "You guys get to the assembly! We'll get this moron sealed uptight." 

We turned to the Box Ghost to see scalpel knives pointed directly at us. The knives were thrown at us and ended up stabbing the lockers because we had gone intangible. 

"Huh, maybe Sam has a point," Danny whispered to himself as he checked for any knives that may have come in contact with him. 

I had flown up at this point as I shouted to Danny, "Look out!"

He stared up at (s/n) confused until the Box Ghost body-slammed him and he went flying into the auditorium behind the curtains and reverted back to his normal self. 

"Huh, whoops," Danny muttered to himself as the Box Ghost picked up a box filled with costumes.

"Tremble before the Box Ghost as you are devoured by uh...Oh yeah, costumes and props by the Broadway classic My Fair Lady!"

.

.

Flying into the auditorium I see Danny getting pummeled with costumes, angering me as I charge at the Box Ghost, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt with a growl, causing him to tremble in fear. I began spinning in a circle and flung him away before focusing my attention on Danny.

I landed on the ground, turned back to human, and ran to help Danny who was climbing out of the pile of costumes when Sam's voice rang from in front of the curtains.

 "Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is taking place right here in our school and I'm about to show you what it is!" 

The curtains revealed a Save the Frogs poster and Danny...Wearing a pink dress, pink shoes, white gloves, a curled hair wig with a matching hat, and makeup. 

Everyone laughed as Tucker shouted, "Woo take it off!" 

Sam and I glared at him as he told us, "No seriously he should take it off that's weird." 

Sighing and still feeling my anger from earlier I walked up to the podium and addressed the crowd. "So if we're talking about problems, then let's talk about the biggest one we have: all of YOU! You all talk about ending bullying but you don't realize that you are the bully. It's honestly a wonder how you all have friends...Oh, I'm sorry I assumed that you all actually HAD FRIENDS!" I shouted before leaving the podium, I didn't need to spit worse venom on them than I already did but it shut them all up, even though I'm sure half of the students are glaring at me.

After we left Sam began yelling at Danny. "Thanks to your little dress-up parade, my Save the Frogs presentation was a total bust!" 

"Speaking of bust did you see Danny in that bra? Puce is not your color pal," Tucker stated while Danny and I glared at him. 

We walked up to a locker with caution tape plastered all over it as Danny told us, "Yeah, and now because of that idiot Box Ghost, I trashed my locker. I've been assigned a new one. Locker...724."

Sam, Tucker, and I gasped as we pointed behind him at a rusted locker as he asked, "Guys? What's wrong? You've looked like you've seen a ghost heh...Or something really scary that we don't see every single day." 

Shocked Tucker asked as Danny opened the locker and touched the golden mirror inside  "Hello? Locker 724?  How do you not know the legend of locker 724?"
