The episode begins in Amity Park in the morning. Danny and Tucker are jogging and look very exhausted.
Danny	So, [Gasps.] how's [Gasps.] the four minute [Gasps.] mile coming, Tucker?
Tucker	Nine minutes [Gasps.] and counting, dude. [Sam enters, running backwards and passing the boys.] This is just embarrassing.
Sam	I know! How are you two going to pass the President's test on physical fitness if you can't even pass me?
Danny	So what? I have super powers. Why should I even care?
	An ecto-blast is shot from the sky at the three. Danny and Sam fall to the ground with a shout of surprise, and Tucker lands bottom down in a trash can next to them.
Skulker	[Flies out from above a building.] Hello, ghost child. I saw you running and thought 'Hey, I should give him something to run from!'
	Danny, who is off-screen, shoots an ecto-blast back, hitting Skulker's left jet pack wing and causing him to scream and fly away due to its instability.
Danny	[Right hand is shown, still glowing from the blast, and then turns to his face.] Ha! Let's see the president do that! [He goes ghost and flies after Skulker.]
	Cut back to Skulker, who is still screaming as his jet sends him flying into a dumpster, which closes from the impact. His head pops up from the dumpster, and he notices Danny racing towards him. Cuts back to Danny, who is flying straight at Skulker, and he uses both of his hands to shoot another ecto-blast which hits the dumpster. The view returns to Skulker, who is thrown from the dumpster due to the blast. Skulker flips into a wall upside-down with a grunt. He quickly gets to his knees and turns to look at Danny again. Back to Danny, who fires off another ecto-blast with his right hand and hits the wall behind Skulker. Skulker ducks out of the way, only to be hit by several other blast from Danny, which break his left forearm and right foot to expose sparking wires. Skulker falls to his side, unable to maintain balance. He looks back to Danny, who lands in front of him a few feet away.
Danny	Hey, Skulker, without your suit you're pretty powerless. Maybe you need to learn to rely on your natural abilities!
Sam	[Runs up behind Danny and turns to Tucker, who has fallen behind.] Tucker, hurry up!
	Tucker finally enters next to Sam, holding the Fenton Thermos, sweating and gasping from the run. She grabs and aims the device at Skulker, who is off-screen, ready to capture him once again.
	Scene cuts back to Skulker.
Skulker	[Still on the ground, and being sucked back into the thermos.] No, no, no!
	The view returns to Danny and Sam. Sam hands the thermos to Danny.
Sam	[Crossing her arms and looking to Danny, causing him to frown.] Speaking of natural abilities... [Danny glances toward her, obviously aware of what he's done.]
	Cuts to Danny, who is back to being human and struggling with his arms above his head.
Danny	I think I liked fighting Skulker better. [Pans out to reveal that he's attempting to do pull ups on a bar in the Casper High gym, with Tucker slumped against them next to him, exhausted.] How many is that?
Tucker	One.
Sam	[Runs to the bars next to Danny and effortlessly does several pull-ups, then swings into a flip off the bars with a perfect dismount and begins running backwards again.] Hey Danny!
	Danny falls from the bar with a grunt and hits the floor.
Opening sequence.	Title card reads "Danny Phantom in Micro Management" with the subtext "Small in size: Large in TERROR!" Opening credits follow.
	Transition to the Ghost Zone, and a handful of ghosts float by. Pans left to show a large floating island.
Skulker	[Left arm comes into view, and when his fist clenches two blades extend from his arm. Cut to his belt being buckled, on which the 'S' shaped symbol glows, and then cuts to show his face showing his obviously grim mood, and a visor being lowered over his eyes. Pan out.] Rocket launcher. [He turns to his left shoulder, where a large missile launcher pops up.] Laser ray. [Turns to his right shoulder to show a laser gun appear.] Ecto-seekers. [Tracker appears on his right jet wing.]
	A projection is cast from the skull symbol on Skulker's chest, showing a projection of Danny in ghost form.
Danny Projection	Maybe you should learn to rely on your natural abilities!
Skulker	Let's see how his natural abilities match up to these not natural abilities! [Skulker blasts the projection with his rocket launcher, and laughs.]
	Fade in to Casper High. Cut to the gymnasium, where students are exercising poorly. Each failing to use the equipment or complete simple exercises. Danny tries to climb the rope, but struggles and drops to the floor next to Tucker who has his hands on his knees. Ms. Tetslaff walks up to the two.
Tetslaff	Listen up, people. This has to be the worst display of physical fitness I've ever seen in all of my days of Casper High.
	Tetslaff takes a big bite out of a sub sandwich.
Tucker	Apparently somebody doesn't own a mirror.
	A dodgeball hits Tucker in the chest, sending him flying backwards. Danny stands up from the floor.
Danny	And apparently somebody doesn't have a sense of humor.
	Tetslaff blows a whistle.
Tetslaff	According to my reports the only thing funny here is how much you're bringing down your class average! So, I'm going to assign you both [Danny and Tucker glance at each other] fitness buddies. [Calling over her shoulder] Manson. [Sam does a back handspring to stand next to Tetslaff.] You help Foley.
Tucker	[Still on the floor with a dodgeball on his chest, Tucker looks around nervously.] Uh, um, I think I'm coming down with something.
Sam	Yeah. [Sam leans down and takes the dodgeball from Tucker. She spins it on her finger.] A severe case of ab [punching the spinning ball away] crunches.
	Sam walks over to Tucker and grabs one of his arms and drags him away. Danny laughs as he watches Sam walk off, with Tucker being dragged along the floor. Danny stops laughing as Dash comes into view, looming over him.
Tetslaff	Baxter, you're going to have to whip Mr. Fenton into shape.
Dash	Cool. Is broken in half [grabbing the front of Danny's shirt] considered a shape?
	Danny blinks, looking nervous. Fade to FentonWorks. Cut to pixelated ghosts floating across the screen. They disappear when a gloved hand punches them.
Jazz	And one. [punches digital ghost] And two. [punches digital ghost. Cut out to Jazz with a helmet and mechanical gloves on in the living room] Keep moving.
	Jazz does a high kick and "kills" another ghost. "5,000!" flashes on the screen with a video game beep. Cut out to Jazz continuing to punch her way across the living room. Jack is sitting by the coffee table with a new device in hand and a box of pizza.
Jack	Jasmine keep it down! I'm trying to calibrate the Fenton Crammer.
Maddie	[walking up to Jack] The Fenton Crammer?
Jack	It shrinks ghosts in size [pats device] and hopefully threat level.
Maddie	Uh huh. [Raises eyebrow skeptically] Then why don't you call it the specter shrinker?
Jack	Because that's exactly what the ghosts would expect me to call i-- [Jazz kicks the device out of Jack's hands]
Jazz	Three. Still moving. And five.
	The Fenton Crammer goes flying across the room. Jack runs after the it and catches it before it falls.
Jazz	And six.
Jack	[Pulling the Fenton Crammer up and away from Jazz] Ah no-no-no-no. Careful. That helmet's for battle training, not exercise missy.
Jazz	Sorry dad. Virtual ghost hunting is a [taking off the helmet and shaking out her hair] perfect way to keep my cardio up.
Jack	[Jack turns to walk away] Well if anybody needs me [grabbing the pizza box] I'll be working on the crammer in the Ops Center. [Walks upstairs.]
Jazz	[To Maddie, while pointing her thumb towards the stairs] Speaking of cramming.
	Jazz and Maddie laugh.
Jack	[Offscreen] I heard that!
	Cut to outside FentonWorks. Zoom in to the backyard where Danny, Sam and Tucker are together. Cut close to Tucker's face, sweating as he struggles with push ups.
Sam	Come on, Foley. [Zoom out from Tucker's face to show Sam with one foot on Tucker's back.] Keep going.
Tucker	[Tucker flops to the ground and turns to face Sam.] I can't. Your boot ways a ton. [Turning towards Danny, who is leaning against the fence and holding a drink.] How bout a hand Danny? [Danny sets down the drink and claps sarcastically.] Oh you're hilarious.
Danny	Hey, when you got [shrugs] super powers, you can afford to be. [Puts his hands behind his head and leans back] Besides, why should I care about some stupid fitness test.
Dash	[Offscreen] Because if you fail, [pops up over the fence] I fail.
Tucker	[Sam takes her foot off Tucker] And if he fails at gym [stands up and dusts himself off] that would blemish his stellar D minus GPA.
	Dash glares at Tucker, then hops the fence and strides over. Dash slams Tucker's head down, forcing him onto the ground. Danny leans down and stage whispers to Tucker.
Danny	You don’t have super powers. You don’t get to be hilarious.
	Dash's hand reaches down and grabs Danny.
Sam	[Watching Dash grab Danny, while Tucker lays on the ground] Aaaand that's our cue to run.
Tucker	What do you mean our cue? [Cut to Sam] I'm not running [Sam pulls up a handheld device, looking smug. Tucker starts to pull himself up] an…why do you have the smart tech 5000. [Stands up] It's not even on the market yet.
Sam	The real question is [leans in to taunt Tucker] are you fast enough to get it from me? [Sam runs away. Tucker starts chasing after her as she jumps the fence.]
Tucker	Come back! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
	Pan to Dash holding Danny up by the hair. Danny has his hands on his head, likely to relieve the tension on his hair.
Dash	Psh losers. And speaking of losers.
Danny	[Danny's ghost sense goes off] Oh crud.
	Danny looks up to Dash's face, and Skulker flies up behind him. Zoom into Skulker as he fires a barrage of rockets from his shoulder. Danny gasps and turns Dash and himself intangible. Both boys scream in shock as Danny pulls them through the ground just before the rockets hit where they were standing. The smoke clears to show Danny and Dash both intangible in a crater, the latter apparently knocked out and laying on top of Danny. Danny turns them both tangible and looks up to where Skulker is flying overhead, extending blades from various parts of his suit. Dash, disoriented, groans as he wakes up.
Danny	[to himself] I gotta get away from Dash. [Looking towards Skulker, exclaiming overdramatically] Ah! [points towards Skulker] Ghost!
	Skulker swoops through the air, diving towards Danny. Danny gets out from where Dash had him pinned and runs away, screaming.
Danny	[Overdramatically exclaiming as he runs] Run! Run! It's a ghost!
	Skulker fires an ectoblast, hitting the ground near Dash. Dash screams and ducks away as Skulker swoops down and continues to chase Danny. Cut to Jack in the Ops Center. He moves from where he's working on the Fenton Crammer towards the box of pizza. He lifts a slice to his mouth and is about to eat when he hears Danny outside.
Danny	[offscreen] Run! Run! It's a ghost!
Jack	Sounds like Danny is in mortal danger from some ghost. Cool! I get to play with my new weapon. I mean, uh, save Danny.
	Dash is screaming as he runs from Skulker.
Dash	Awesome. I'm...I'm puny. I don't do puny!
Skulker	What is this? What did you do?
Danny	I didn't. He did.
Skulker	Big or small I will still have your head in my trophy room.
Danny	Uh, nice image. Here's a better one. We have to move.
Dash	Danny phantom? If I weren’t so terrified this would be really cool.
Danny	Uh thanks.
Dash	Oh man. We're dead. Dead!
Danny	No we're not. All we have to do is get into Fenton Works and unshrink ourselves. Okay, that's not normal. Must've been the wind shear.
Skulker	Hmmm. Seems to be losing his ghostly power. So am I. But my suit works fine. Advantage Skulker!
Tucker	You. Can't. Make me do this forever you know.
Sam	I don't need to make you do anything. You're making yourself. You want this, don't cha? Don't cha?
Tucker	Yes! Yes!
Sam	Then jump geek boy. Jump!
Tucker	Hey. Come back with that PDA.
Dash	H-how much further?
Danny	Ten feet. Or at this pace, ten years.
Dash	Is it really that far?
Danny	Hang on. I'll use my powers to phase us through the door. Okay. Can't blame the wind this time. Something's wrong. He's closing in. We've got to find another entrance.
Dash	Over there. There's a mouse hole.
Danny	We have mice?
Dash	Fly!
Danny	I can't.
Dash	What?!
Danny	Just run. It's good for your heart.
Dash	What kinda mouse hole is this? Where's the matchbox sofa and the coffee table made form a spool of thread?
Danny	You watch way too many cartoons. Get back! Oh man. That shrink ray must have shorted out my powers.
Skulker	Maybe you need to learn to rely on your natural abilities.
Danny	Will you just let it go.
	Commercial break.
Dash	I can't see.
Danny	Dash get down!
Skulker	Say farewell ghost child.
Dash	Where'd the ghost kid go?
Skulker	Well I was hunting the ghost child, but I coculd just as easily mount your tiny head in my trophy room.
Dash	Ew
Danny	Ew is right. Get back.
Dash	Dude that's awesome. You took over the mouse.
Danny	Not for long. Run! Go! Uh dude. Hold this. And this.
Skulker	This does not bode well.
Danny	Okay. Just follow my lead and…Dash?
Dash	I can't do this. I can't. Everything's bigger than me!
Danny	Dash?
Dash	And you. You're losing your powers. We're doomed. Doomed!
Danny	Dash! Stop! Listen to me. (sigh) Why did you come to Fenton Works?
Dash	I'm Danny Fenton's fitness buddy. I was supposed to help him because he was too puny, weak, wimpy, scrawny, and--
Danny	Yeah yeah yeah. Can you get to the point?
Dash	He's not strong enough to pass a fitness test.
Danny	Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, I need your help because I'm not strong enough to do this alone. So, fitness buddies?
Dash	Hey, what happened to your feet?
Danny	Uh, they're special high speed ghost shoes?
Jazz	And one. And two. Keep moving. Keep sweating.
Skulker	To the hunt!
Sam	Seven.
Tucker	Ow!
Sam	Eight!
Tucker	Ow!
Sam	Nine.
Tucker	Ow. Could you please stop counting and help me?
Sam	Sorry. No pain no gain.
Skulker	Keep running whelps. I'm about to make mouse meat out of you.
Danny	It's mince meat bonehead.
Skulker	Not this time it's not.
Maddie	You filthy animal. You are not leaving mouse droppings all over my clean kitchen.
Danny	Dust bunny!
Dash	Woah. Nice air.
Danny	Thanks. Oh great. I'm losing so much power I'm reverting back to--
Dash	Hey. What's with your pants?
Danny	Uh, um, it's casual Friday?
Dash	Today's Tuesday. Oh man. We're back outside.
Danny	Wait. This isn't real grass.
Jack	Jack Fenton on the 18th hole of the Ecto invitational. If he sinks this, it's all over but the Ghost Zone.
Dash	Where do we hide?
Danny	Have you ever seen him play golf? The only safe place is the hole.
Dash	Man. Is everybody in this family bad at sports?
Tucker	I can't believe I got pecked at by a bird. But at least I got my PDA. It's fake?
Sam	But you have to admit, it was a great way to get you into shape.
Tucker	I guess so. But since my hands are all bandaged I'm probably going to need help going to the bathroom.
Sam	Taxi!
Dash	Yeah. We did it.
Danny	But we're not nearly close enough.
Dash	How many costume changes are you gonna go through? What is this, Vegas?
Skulker	Very well.
Danny	Hurry. Out the window and up to the Ops center. Skulker's not following us. Unless he's coming up around the back. Hey Skulker. Still think your abilities beat mine?
Skulker	Lime and vinegar? Who eats those? Oh for crying out loud.
Danny	We don’t' have much time. I gotcha. One. Two. Three. Oh man. I'm one makeover away from blowing my secret identity. Good thing Dash is a total moron.
Dash	We did. What do you think we just benched, proportionally?
Danny	I don't know. I'm not that good at math.
Skulker	Soon you won't be good at breathing, either. Get off of me.
Danny	That's gotta be the device.
Dash	And that's how we're going to get to it.
Skulker	Thank you for opening the window for me. Your services are no longer needed. You'll never be able to climb fast enough to save yourselves.
Dash	Hey where'd you go?
Danny	I'm in here. I need you to pull the trigger, quick.
Dash	You okay in there?
Danny	Just flip it to uncram and push the trigger!
Skulker	You can't escape me. I'm faster than you. I'm stronger than you. And you're weak. Weak!
Danny	Actually, I'm a lot stronger than I thought.
Dash	Ha! Way to go dude. I knew I could count on you.
Danny	Yeah well without my powers, that made one of us. So, thanks. I couldn't have wished for a better fitness buddy. Maybe you're not that bad after all.
Dash	Thanks. Hey. What do you say we hang around here and stuff Fen-turd's head in the toilet. You know, just for giggles. I don't do puny!
Tetslaff	On your mark. Get set.
Danny and Tucker	One. Two. Three. Four. Five.
Danny	Ha. Just like climbing the wires up to the Ops center.
Tucker	Or chinnin' up to a killer bird's nest on a tree branch of empty lies!
Tetslaff	Well it's not record time, but it's good enough to pass.
Danny and Tucker	Thanks.
Tetslaff	Not you two. You two. Good job whipping those wimps into shape.
Dash	You do realize this is the last thing we'll ever do together.
Sam	Count on it. Does this come in black?
Danny	Well ghost beaten.
Tucker	Test passed.
Danny	And self worth restored. Ready?
Tucker	Yeah.
	Both boys fall backwards.
Jack	I'm so proud. Our boy finally has the physical prowess of a 60 year old president. Here's to you son.
Maddie	Here Jack, let me freshen up that root beer.
	Skulker screams at Jack brings the glass to his mouth.
