[GRUNTING, SCREAMING]
BEWARE, I AM THE BOX GHOST.
I HAVE POWER OVER ALL CONTAINERS CARDBOARD AND SQUARE.
OK, CAN WE GET THIS OVER WITH?
I'VE GOT A TEST TO STUDY FOR.
STUDY?
THERE WILL BE NO TIME TO STUDY
WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF CRUSHED
BENEATH THE FORGOTTEN POSSESSIONS OF...
ELLIOTT KRAVITZ OF ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS.
AHH, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
HEY, TUCKER, LET'S GO.
HA! HA!
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY.
AAAAHHH...
PERIMETER SECURE.
PERIMETER SECURE?
WHAT ARE YOU, A NAVY SEAL?
SEALS: AQUATIC MAMMALS THAT BARK.
THEY'RE CANINES, RIGHT?
WRONG.
THAT'S ZERO FOR 21.
I'M NO TEACHER, BUT I'M GUESSING THAT'S AN "F."
COME ON, YOU GUYS, IF YOU'RE GONNA BE SUPERHERO SIDEKICKS,
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO BE A LITTLE MORE FOCUSED.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME STUDY FOR THE TEST TOMORROW,
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME CATCH THESE GHOSTS
SO I HAVE TIME TO STUDY.
WHAT? THEY'RE ALL RIGHT HERE.
HA HA! I AM THE BOX GHOST!
YOU CANNOT HOLD ME
WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A CYLINDRICAL CONTAINER.
THAT'S WEIRD.
ACCORDING TO MY SCHEDULE,
WE SHOULD BE DONE CATCHING GHOSTS BY NOW.
HALF HUMAN, HALF GHOST. ONE OF A KIND.
HE'LL MAKE A FINE ADDITION TO MY COLLECTION.
HA HA!
TOUCH THE BOX AND YOUR PELT WILL ADORN MY FIREPLACE.
BEWARE!

OH, MY GOSH, THEY SAID YES!
WHO SAID YES?
THE PERSON YOU ASKED
IF YOU WERE A CONCEITED SNOB?
NO, "GENIUS MAGAZINE" SAID YES.
THEY GOT MY LETTER AND WANT TO PUT MOM ON THE COVER!
AAAAAHH!
"GENIUS MAGAZINE?"
IS IT THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE?
UH, DAD, "GENIUS MAGAZINE" IS FOR WOMEN GENIUSES,
BY WOMEN GENIUSES, AND ABOUT WOMEN GENIUSES.
SO, IT IS THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE.
OH, GROSS.
MOM'S GONNA BE IN THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE?
IT'S NOT THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE.
BUT IT IS THE PERFECT MAGAZINE
TO SHOW THAT I HAVE NORMAL PARENTS
INSTEAD OF A COUPLE OF GHOST-HUNTING FREAKS.
THEY'RE NOT GHOST-HUNTING FREAKS.
HEY, DANNY, SPEAKING OF GHOST HUNTING,
CHECK OUT THE LATEST IN GHOST HUNTING TECHNOLOGY.
THE GHOST GABBER.
"GENIUS MAGAZINE" HAS TO BE INTERESTED IN THIS.
IT TAKES THE MYSTERIOUS SOUNDS A GHOST MAKES
AND TRANSLATES THEM INTO WORDS YOU AND I USE EVERY DAY.
HERE, TRY IT.
UH, UH... BOO?
Computer: I AM A GHOST. FEAR ME.
I'D BETTER GET TO SCHOOL.
Computer: I'D BETTER GET TO SCHOOL.
FEAR ME.
THAT'S GREAT ABOUT THE MAGAZINE, SWEETIE,
BUT YOUR FATHER AND I ARE A TEAM.
I THINK THAT BESIDE EVERY GENIUS WOMAN,
THERE'S A GENIUS MAN.
WHO SHOULD BE STANDING BESIDE HER
ON THE COVER OF "GENIUS MAGAZINE."
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE FENTONS
ARE A FAMILY OF GENIUSES.
Danny: I GOT A "D"?
ALL THIS GHOST HUNTING IS TAKING AWAY
FROM MY STUDY TIME.
SO MUCH FOR THE FENTONS
BEING A FAMILY OF GENIUSES.
I CAN'T GET A "D" IN BIOLOGY.
MY PARENTS WILL KILL ME.
NOT IF YOU PULL YOUR GRADE UP
BY DOING AN EXTRA CREDIT BIOLOGY ASSIGNMENT...
ON THIS MAGNIFICENT CREATURE.
A PURPLE BACK GORILLA.
YUP, EXTREMELY RARE. ONLY TWO LEFT, BOTH MALE.
AFTER THIS, THEY'RE GONE FOREVER.
WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE GOING TO PROVE
HE DESERVES TO BE SET FREE.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR EXTRA CREDIT...
OR YOUR AGENDAS.
ACTUALLY, YOU DO.
YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO MANAGE IT BETTER.
I DECIDED TO BECOME YOUR TIME MANAGER.
IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO
AFTER SAM MADE ME LET ALL THOSE GHOSTS OUT.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'LL BE MY JOB TO KEEP TRACK OF YOUR SCHEDULE
SO YOU CAN DO YOUR SCHOOLWORK
AND CATCH ALL THOSE GHOSTS THAT SAM LET LOOSE.
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I LET YOU MANAGE THE THERMOS?
AND I'VE ALREADY SCHEDULED "REMEMBER NOT TO LET TUCKER HANDLE THE THERMOS."
I SUPPOSE WE COULD HAVE A TRIAL PERIOD.
SEE? I'VE ALSO SCHEDULED SOME ZOO TIME
SO WE CAN CHECK OUT THAT GORILLA.
LET'S GO.
HMMM, SO THIS IS YOUR PREY, EH, GHOST BOY?
UH, EXCUSE ME, SIR?
RAHH!
ARE YOU FINISHED WITH THE COMPUTER?
WWAAAHHHH!
YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD SNEAK UP ON ME?
SKULKER?
WAAAAAAAH!
GHOST WORLD'S GREATEST PREDATOR?
AAAAAAAAHHHH...
QUIET, YOU'RE IN A LIBRARY.
AAAAAHHHH...
WOW, YOU DO THAT?
NO, BUT I CAN ALWAYS STOP
AND APPRECIATE HIGH-QUALITY BULLYING.
WAAAHHH!
Sam: THERE HE IS— SAMPSON.
SO GIFTED, SO MAJESTIC.
SAM, WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THE GORILLA SCRATCH HIS BUTT
FOR, UM, HOW LONG?
[YAWN] 6 HOURS.
TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE MAJESTICALLY SCRATCHING YOUR BUTT.
Sam: IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU FIND OUT
SOMETHING ABOUT SAMPSON NOBODY'S EVER LEARNED.
YOU SHOULD GO AND TRY TO COMMUNICATE WITH HIM.
AHH, GREAT.
TUCKER, YOU'RE HIS MANAGER,
CAN YOU—
[YAWN]
AHH, I'LL DO IT.
BUT FIRST...
HA HA, BOYS HUGGING MAKES EVERY YEARBOOK FUNNY.
[GROWLING]
OH, PLEASE.
[SNARLING, SCUFFLING]
[CHATTERING]
WHAT IS IT, YOU WONDROUS BEING?
[EXCITED CHATTERING]
IS SOMETHING WRONG?
[SCREAMING]
YOU WANT OUT?
[YOWL]
WHAT?
GORILLA ATTACKING?
GGGGRRRRR! AAAUGH!
AAAH!
[SNORING]
OH, MY GOSH! AAAAHH—
NOW FOR THE GHOST CHILD.
GGGRRRRRR!
AAAHH! AAAHH!
AAAHHH! AAAHHH!
AAAAHH! AAAAHH!
GORILLA. LOOSE!
I GOT HIM!
I'M GOING GHOST.
ALL RIGHT, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU GOT OUT,
BUT YOU'RE GOING BACK.
DANNY, I MEANT TO TELL YOU, THERE WAS A GHO—
I WONDER WHO LET THE GORILLA GO...
SAM?
YEAH, WAIT'LL WE TELL EVERYBODY AT SCHOOL
YOU LET OUT A 400-POUND GORILLA.
OR WE JUST KEEP IT OUR LITTLE SECRET.
YEAH, WE REALLY HAVE NO PROOF SHE DID IT, YOU KNOW.
NO.
A FEW MORE QUESTIONS, MADDIE.
CAN YOU TELL OUR READERS WHAT YOU'RE WORKING ON NOW?
WELL, IT'S CALLED THE GHOST GABBER, AND—
DAD, PUT THAT THING AWAY!
SHE'S ACTUALLY WORKING ON
A NEW FORM OF SELF-GENERATING ENERGY.
SHE'S AN AMAZING, INTELLIGENT WOMAN
WHO'S ABOUT TO CHANGE THE WORLD.
CONNIE, MY PRIMARY FOCUS THESE DAYS
IS GHOST HUNTING.
UM, FORGIVE ME.
DID YOU SAY GHOST HUNTING?
AHH...
DANNY, LOOK AT YOU.
I'M NOT SURE I LIKE THIS OVERNIGHT ZOO RESEARCH.
MOM, COME ON, WE'RE JUST A BUNCH OF KIDS.
IN THE ZOO. AT NIGHT.
ALONE.
WE'LL BE IN MY ROOM.
FEAR ME.
GIVE ME THAT!
NOW, WHERE WERE WE?
HERE WE GO, DANNY.
HOME IN TIME FOR SOME WELL-DESERVED REST.
[PALM PILOT BEEPING]
BUT KEEP IT QUICK, BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT 13 MINUTES.
HELLO, GHOST CHILD.
AAH!
DANNY! DANNY!
THE HUMAN GHOST CHILD IN ITS NATURAL HABITAT.
WHO ARE YOU?
I AM SKULKER.
A COLLECTOR OF THINGS RARE AND UNIQUE.
AND YOU, GHOST CHILD, ARE THAT AND MORE.
HA HA HA HA...
HEY, MY ROCKET!
I BUILT THAT!
PITY, THOUGH,
I'D HOPED YOU WOULD PUT UP MORE OF A FIGHT.
OH, DON'T WORRY.
I WILL!
[GROWL]
THAT'S THE GHOST FROM THE ZOO.
DANNY?
NO, THE OTHER GUY.
[CRASH]
YOU KNOW, GHOST HUNTING ISN'T THE ONLY THING MY PARENTS DO, CONNIE.
IT'S REALLY A SIDE INTEREST.
WHAT THEY'RE REALLY INTO IS—
[CRASH]
GHOST! GHOST! GHOST!
KIDS, GET DOWN!
THERE'S A GHOST IN THE HOUSE.
ACTUALLY, THERE'S TWO—
MUCH HOMEWORK TO BE DONE
FOR THERE TO BE A GHOST HERE.
I'LL GET SOME SNACKS.
YEAH, DANNY'S UPSTAIRS.
[CRASH]
UH, LIFTING WEIGHTS?
HE DOESN'T HAVE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT UP THERE.
[CRASH]
Danny: MY COMPUTER!
OH, THAT'S JAZZ'S.
THAT'S WHY HE'S USING HIS COMPUTER.
AAUHGH!
OOOMPH!
COME, GHOST BOY.
TIME TO SEE YOUR NEW HOME.
WHOOOAHHH!
UH... HI-YAH!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
[CRASH]
SOUNDS LIKE RATS IN THE LAB.
GHOST RATS. I KNEW IT.
Sam: DON'T WORRY, WE'LL GET RID OF THEM.
I'D LIKE TO LEARN A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THIS DANNY.
UH, THAT'S PROBABLY NOT SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT HE'S DOING UP THERE, ANYWAY.
WAIT!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BRINGING YOU BACK TO MY WORLD,
WHERE I CAN PUT YOU ON DISPLAY.
WHAT?
HA! AT LAST.
TIME TO PUT YOU IN YOUR CAGE.
NOOOO!
NO IS RIGHT, DANNY.
CAGES ARE WRONG.
HOW DO YOU THINK SAMPSON FEELS BEING IN A CAGE?
BUT—
HE'S A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL
AND DESERVES TO ROAM FREE!
I...
SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
RRRRRR-UHH!
AAAAHHH!
THAT TECHNOLOGY— SO SLEEK, SO ADVANCED.
HMM, I WONDER...
HEY, I GOT 3 MORE PAYMENTS ON THAT.
AAAAHH!
MARVELOUS.
WAY TO GO, TUCKER.
YOU JUST MADE THE BAD GUY MORE BAD.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW MY PDA WAS GHOST COMPATIBLE?
SAY GOOD-BYE TO THIS WORLD, CHILD.
[MUSICAL BEEPING]
WHAT?
"FLY TO LIBRARY?"
"GET A BOOK ON EATING HABITS OF PURPLE BACK GORILLA?"
OH, STOP. THE HUNT IS NOT OVER!
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHO CARES?
AT LEAST I GOT A MINUTE TO RELAX
AND FIGURE THIS OUT.
Mom: DANNY, WHERE ARE YOU?
SOMEBODY HERE WANTS TO MEET YOU.
D'OH! MY ROOM!
DANNY, THIS IS CONNIE FROM "GENIUS MAGAZINE."
DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER KNOCK?
JAZZ IS GOING TO KILL ME FOR THAT.
I'M GONNA KILL HIM FOR THAT.
BROODING? MESSY? RECLUSIVE?
NOW, THOSE ARE THE SIGNS OF A TRUE GENIUS.
OH, IF ONLY HE WERE A WOMAN.
[BELL RINGS, RANDOM CHATTER]
ANY SIGN OF HIM?
NOPE.
HE HASN'T BOTHERED YOU FOR 38 MINUTES.
MAYBE HE'S HUNTING SOMEBODY ELSE NOW.
HOW MANY OF THOSE THINGS DO YOU HAVE?
JUST TWO.
GOOD THING I BEAMED ALL YOUR INFO IN HERE
AND BACKED IT UP.
GLOBAL THINKING, DANNY.
THE SIGN OF A QUALITY TIME MANAGER.
COME ON, YOU'RE LATE.
[BELL RINGS]
SOON, GHOST BOY, SOON.
[BELL RINGING]
DAAAAAAHHHH!
DANNY! DANNY!
I HAVE YOU NOW, CHILD.
[MUSICAL BEEPING] WHAT?
"GO TO THE NEWS STAND AND PURCHASE MAGAZINE
WITH ARTICLE ABOUT PURPLE BACK GORILLAS?"
AAAAAHHHHH...
HMM, I HAVE THE SAME THING ON MINE.
I THINK WE'LL BLOW THAT ONE OFF.
DANNY, EAT SOMETHING.
I CAN'T EAT NOW.
HE COULD BE ANYWHERE.
[GULP]
HEY, THIS FOOD WAS SCHEDULED TO BE EATEN.
AAAH!
DANNY! DANNY!
NOW, BOY, ONCE MORE, I, SKULKER, SHALL—
[MUSICAL BEEPING]
"TAKE PHOTOS OF GORILLA?"
WELL, AT LEAST HE'S REGULAR.
YEAH, ALMOST LIKE A SCHEDULE.
WHAT'S THE NEXT THING YOU HAVE SCHEDULED FOR ME, TUCKER?
GYM.
WHY?
YOU ARE ONE SMOOTH-LOOKIN' DUDE.
HEY, DASH?
I'M TOO WEAK AND DEFENSELESS TO OPEN MY LOCKER.
CAN YOU OPEN IT FOR ME?
OUT OF THE WAY, LOSER.
HMM, MY SENSORS INDICATE YOU'RE AN AVERAGE HUMAN
DESTINED FOR AN AVERAGE LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
I SHALL—
[MUSICAL BEEPINGÑ
"THE GORILLA DISPLAY
AT THE MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY?"
WHY'S HE GOING THERE?
WHEN SKULKER PUT YOUR PDA INTO HIS TECHNOLOGY,
HE BECAME BOUND TO MY SCHEDULE.
HE HAS TO GO WHERE I WAS GOING TO GO NEXT.
WHICH MEANS...
IT'S TIME FOR THE HUNTER TO BECOME THE HUNTED.
COME ON, I'M GONNA GO DO SOMETHING
A LITTLE AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
WHERE IS HE?
ACCORDING TO THIS INFERNAL DEVICE—
WHICH I CANNOT REPROGRAM—
THE GHOST BOY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE AN HOUR AGO.
YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BAIT,
YOU STUPID ANIMAL.
SAMPSON'S NOT STUPID.
HE'S ALSO NOT HERE.
CAN I TAKE A MESSAGE?
YOU TWO. YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
[MUSICAL BEEPING]
"TIME FOR PUSH UPS."
WHAT?
AHHH!
STOP! STOP! I CAN'T STOP!
I CAN HELP WITH THAT.
UH-UH-UH, 10:11, POLISH ARMOR.
AAH...
STOP FOOLING AROUND, TUCKER.
POWER HIM DOWN, ALREADY.
NOW!
RELAX, EVERYTHING'S TOTALLY UNDER—
CONTROL?
AW, MAN, I HAD 4 MORE PAYMENTS ON THIS ONE.
TUCKER, YOU'RE FIRED.
VERY WELL.
I PLANNED ON SIMPLY CAPTURING YOU
AND LETTING YOU LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN A CAGE.
BUT NOW I WILL REST YOUR PELT AT THE FOOT OF MY BED.
OK, THAT'S JUST GROSS.
WELL, GHOST BOY, ANY LAST WORDS?
JUST THIS...
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
CALLING A FRIEND.
GGRRRAAAAUGH...
YOU LEARNED HIS LANGUAGE?
WELL, SURE, ALL HE DOES IS THIS.
All: YAY!
All: OOOH!
All: YAY!
All: AWWW!
BUT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
A GHOST NEEDED A HIGH-TECH BATTLE SUIT.
[SQUEAKY VOICE] LET ME GO!
I AM THE SKULKER! THE SKULKER!
SO YOU HEAR ME? FEAR ME!
I AM THE GREATEST HUNTER IN ALL OF GHOST WORLD.
YOU WILL ALL FEAR ME.
THERMOS, PLEASE.
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME!
I SHALL CAPTURE YOU ALL.
YOU SHALL ALL BE MINE. MINE, DO YOU HEAR?
COOL, LET'S GO HOME.
BUT YOU DIDN'T GET ANYTHING YOU COULD USE FOR YOUR REPORT.
YOU'RE STILL GONNA GET A "D."
AH, THAT'S OK.
WE STOPPED THE BAD GUY, SAVED A GORILLA.
IF THAT'S ALL I GOT DONE, THAN THAT'S—OH, MY GOSH!
"BROODING GENIUS DANIEL FENTON DID WHAT NO OTHER RESEARCHER DARED TO DO.
"HE GOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THIS RARE PURPLE BACK GORILLA
TO REALIZE SAMPSON WAS ACTUALLY A DELILAH."
NOBODY AT THAT ZOO EVER BOTHERED
TO SEE IF IT WAS A BOY OR A GIRL?
THAT'S WEIRD, HUH?
WELL, MAYBE THEY WERE RESPECTING HER PRIVACY.
WELL, FENTON, I HAVE TO ADMIT I'M IMPRESSED.
WANTED TO GET YOUR GRADE UP SO BAD,
YOU RISKED GETTING MAULED BY A GORILLA.
"C."
A "C"?
I ALMOST GET KILLED BY A GHO—RILLA
AND ALL I GET IS A "C"?
LIFE'S A BIG MYSTERY, ISN'T IT, FENTON?
[BELL RINGS]
NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO GET YOUR GRADE UP,
TRY THE LIBRARY.
WELL, IT'S BETTER THAN A "D," RIGHT?
OH, MAN, IF ONLY I HAD SOMETHING
I COULD TAKE THIS OUT ON!
I AM THE BOX GHOST, AND ONCE I EMPTY YOU OF YOUR USELESS PAPERS,
YOUR MARVELOUS SQUARENESS SHALL BE MINE!
HA HA HA HA!
HELLO, MISPLACED AGGRESSION.
YOU'VE GOT 5 MINUTES.
WHICH IS 4 MORE THAN I'LL NEED.
Box Ghost: AAAHH! AH! OWWW! BEWARE!
