- [the poem continues]
- Ghost Writer: Danny Fenton hates Christmas. He hates it a lot, / Which is why I've inserted the boy in this plot. / He'll go through this tale till the story is ended.
- Danny Fenton: [angrily] But you can't make me rhyme!
- Samantha "Sam" Manson: [greets a passerby] Hope your new year is splendid!
- [Danny shoves an orange into Walker, hoping to end the ghost brawl]
- Ghost Writer: [typing] Young Danny thought quickly and picked up an orange. / He threw it at Walker who...
- [stops typing and tries to think of a rhyme to "orange", only to realize he can't]
- Ghost Writer: [angry] Aw, crud! Nothing rhymes with orange!
- [Danny returns to Amity Park after destroying the Ghost Writer's Quantum Keyboard, depressed at what he did to Christmas]
- Danny Fenton: [narrating] With the keyboard all busted, the curse takes its toll.
- [Christmas lights go out, as a sign that Danny had destroyed Christmas]
- Danny Fenton: The story continues, but I've no control.
- [Tucker sees him at the window of the Foley house, then calls Sam, and they find Danny sitting all depressed]
- Tucker Foley: Dude, like, it's Christmas. So why are you here?
- Samantha "Sam" Manson: Alone outside, with no friends or family near?
- Danny Fenton: It's my fault, all my fault, what had happened tonight. / I spoke out in anger and acted in spite. / I started it all when I picked that first fight. / But I'd give all I had to set everything right.
- [while Danny is speaking, the toys and presents are restored to the way they were]
- [Danny Phantom is surrounded by presents that Ghost Writer conjured up]
- Danny Phantom: Now you're ripping off gifts? What is that supposed to do?
- Ghost Writer: A. Make a huge scene, and B. blame it on you!
- [the crowd blames Danny, who then gets hit by a laser blast from Jack and Maddie]
- Maddie Fenton: [shouts] You've ruined our night!
- Jack Fenton: [firing a blast] Drink some anti-ghost tonic!
- [Danny's mouth goes intangible to avoid the blast]
- Danny Phantom: Wait, I've ruined their night? How's that for ironic?
- [he flies away from the crowd]
- Ghost Writer: So Danny did soar through the crisp evening...
- Danny Phantom: [to Ghost Writer] Look! / What's a guy got to do to get out of this book?
- Ghost Writer: And then Danny thought...
- Danny Phantom: Wait. My problem is clear. / This poem's about Christmas, which is here, here, and here. / This curse will stay on me from my town to Rome. / But he can't Christmas me in a non-Christmas home.
- [ghost Christmas trees are attacking Amity Park; the Fentons watch the news on TV]
- News Reporter: It's tree watch, day one. Hope there isn't day two. / Let's go to Lance Thunder, our weatherman who...
- [scene shifts to Lance Thunder, surrounded by ghost trees]
- Lance Thunder: Can't believe I quit acting to work in this place. /... There's chaos here, Bill.
- [the ghost trees gang up on him]
- Lance Thunder: [surprised] Not the face! Not the face!
- [the Fentons turn off the TV]
- Jack Fenton: [to Maddie] Anybody seen Danny?
- Jazz Fenton: [walks off with anger in her mind] Like I even care.
- Maddie Fenton: What's wrong with you, Jasmine? Your brother's out there! / Hold down the fort, Jack! I'll go after our tot! / Those trees will not stop me!
- [she jumps out the window]
- Jack Fenton: [excited] Oh, man, that is hot!
- [ghost Christmas trees are attacking Amity Park; the Fentons watch the news on TV]
- News Reporter: It's tree watch, day one. Hope there isn't day two. / Let's go to Lance Thunder, our weatherman who...
- [scene shifts to Lance Thunder, surrounded by ghost trees]
- Lance Thunder: Can't believe I quit acting to work in this place. /... There's chaos here, Bill.
- [the ghost trees gang up on him]
- Lance Thunder: [surprised] Not the face! Not the face!
- [the Fentons turn off the TV]
- Jack Fenton: [to Maddie] Anybody seen Danny?
- Jazz Fenton: [walks off with anger in her mind] Like I even care.
- Maddie Fenton: What are you saying, Jasmine? Your brother's out there! / Hold down the fort, Jack! I'll go after our tot! / Those trees will not stop me!
- [she jumps out the window]
- Jack Fenton: [excited] Oh, man, that is hot!
- [at FentonWorks]
- Ghost Writer: But Danny's grim yuletide was only beginning. / And later that night, as his patience was thinning...
- Jack Fenton: [slides down the chimney] See! A fat man can fit down the chimney! Here's proof!
- Maddie Fenton: That still won't explain how he gets on the roof!
- Ghost Writer: And Young Fenton sat there, just steaming and fuming...
- [Danny looks out the window]
- Ghost Writer: His blood pressure rising, his anger consuming...
- Danny Fenton: [shouts] I won't keep this up!
- Ghost Writer: ...Danny said to the Writer.
- Danny Fenton: There's no poem if I'm silent.
- Jazz Fenton: Can't you make Dad not fight her?
- [Danny screams in frustration]
- Ghost Writer: [to Danny] You think this is over? It's barely begun! / This psalm doesn't end 'til the lesson is done!
- Danny Fenton: And you think that I'll learn it? You think you're that tough?
- [sees his parents arguing]
- Jack Fenton: [shouts] He exists!
- Maddie Fenton: [shouts] No he doesn't!
- Ghost Writer: Then Dan screamed:
- Danny Fenton: Enough! / I'm sick of your fighting! Can you please let this die? / You've ruined each Christmas! Each Christmas, and I / Can't take anymore of this war, am I clear? / Fourteen years is enough! I am so out of here!
- [walks out the door]
- Maddie Fenton: Hmm? What's got into him?
- Jack Fenton: He takes after his mother.
- Jazz Fenton: [sees Danny outside the window] Can't blame you for losing your cool, little brother. / Go ahead, clear your head, and I think you'll be fine.
- [the Ghost Writer sends the Fenton Family's presents to attack Danny; Jazz sees them following him]
- Jazz Fenton: [angrily] ... but taking our presents is crossing the line!
- [in the Ghost Zone, Ghost Writer devises a trap for Danny by inviting him into a room filled with ghosts]
- Skulker: We've been waiting for you.
- Ghost Writer: Skulker said with a grin.
- The Box Ghost: Now our holiday party can finally begin!
- [the spotlights come on and illuminate two Christmas trees to Danny's surprise]
- Skulker: Eat, drink, and be merry!
- Ember: Have some warm Christmas goose!
- The Box Ghost: For surely you know of our annual truce!
- Ghost Writer: [shocked] The truce! It's still holding? I thought they'd suspend it / To beat on their foe!
- Skulker: Oh, this truce, we defend it!
- [Danny has just defeated the Ghost Writer and had him detained by Walker's guards]
- Danny Phantom: Roses are red, violets are blue, / One sleasefry, I'm guessing this poem is...
- [he destroys the Quantum Keyboard, only to find it has no effect on the rhyming curse]
- Danny Phantom: [shocked] ... Through? / Nooooo!
- Ghost Writer: Danny screamed.
- Danny Phantom: [shouts in horror] I'm still talking in rhyme!
- Ghost Writer: I would have forewarned you if given the time!
- [Danny fights off the monster nutcracker using the ghost blasts]
- Danny Phantom: You think this can stop me? This bear, or this train? / I'll just fire away 'til no pieces remain!
- [he destroys the nutcracker, then flies back on the ground]
- Danny Phantom: Nothing to add?
- Ghost Writer: Danny asked. Then the answer / Showed up in the form of Sam, Tucker, and Lancer, / And Jazz standing silent, her eyes filled with tears, / Mourning the bear she had loved all these years. / And Tucker and Sam felt that crushing blow, too.
- [Danny tries to console the group]
- Tucker Foley: Danny, don't!
- Samantha "Sam" Manson: What's your deal?
- Jazz Fenton: I don't even know you.
- [they walk away from the crowd, who gathers up in sadness and anger]
- Ghost Writer: It seemed that the whole town was left to proclaim / That Christmas was ruined, the Ghost Boy to blame.
- [Danny flies away from the angry crowd and stops at a house]
- Ghost Writer: Save for one little boy, in his little red hat. / He thought Danny was cool... so we'll have to fix that!
- [he brings the ghost Christmas trees to life and they attack]
- [Danny Phantom finds the presents are restored and sent to their homes by the ghosts from the Ghost Zone]
- The Box Ghost: The Box Ghost shall conquer this holiday doom!
- Lunch Lady Ghost: We just couldn't leave you to suffer in gloom.
- Skulker: [with an arm cannon] Tomorrow you'll see what *this* baby can do! /... But all ghosts share the truce... even half-ghosts like you.
- Danny Fenton: [to the ghosts, about the Ghost Writer's curse] I'm trapped in this story. The guy's off his nut!
- Skulker: He ought to know better!
- The Box Ghost: Let's go kick his butt!
