FADE IN:
INT. FENTON KITCHEN- DAY (COLD OPEN)
DANNY and JAZZ are seated at the kitchen table, eating breakfast while MADDIE stands in the background, fiddling with the toaster. JACK enters the room. He looks as though he hasn't slept in the last 24 hours.
JACK
Good morning!
MADDIE
Jack, have you been awake all night?
JACK
Yup! working on my newest invention!
As MADDIE takes a seat at the table, Jack unfurls what looks to be a jacket with 3 long metal arms hanging from the sleves.
MADDIE
A jacket? You've been all night working on a jacket?
JACK
Not just any Jacket
The Fenton Ghost Tickling Jacket!
MADDIE
Right, and you don't supose that time could have been better spent fixing the toaster?
JACK
Nah, this was more fun!
It weakens a ghost's defences while sucking it dry of all it's etco energy.
THE ARMS suddenly whip around DANNY, wraping around his arms and legs as he is held and restraind in mid air, then at the end of the arms, big, green feathers hover over him.
DANNY
Uh, Dad?
The feathers attack and DANNY whips around in hysterical laughter.
DANNY
HAHAHAHAHAAAAA DAHHAAAD! Make it STOOAAAAP!!!!
JAZZ
Dad, turn it off!
JACK
I can't turn it off, it turns itself off automatically after the Ghost's energy is completely drained.
MADDIE
But our son isn't a ghost!
Without it's host, the jacket shuts down and the arms fall to the ground, still twined around DANNY. DANNY falls with them. They watch as DANNT hits the table, landing on his back. Laying there. he catches his breath.
JACK
Back to the drawing board.
As JACK heads back down to the lab...
