Keep on Skulking

Chapter 1: Couples Counseling

Ember's POV

That stupid phantom! I can't believe the nerves of his stupid mother and friends! Banishing us to the Ghost Zone, where they had also put Skulker, Johnny, and Bertrand? Despicable! Ugh, not to mention the fact that the dipstick's father beat Skulker right out of his suit! Sure, I know that he is that small, it is adorable how small and full of rage he is! But I prefer his cool suit!

The worst part is, that now that we are all together, we have to talk out our problems! Sure, that is Spectra's forte, but I hate talking about emotions! Kitty is still furious at Johnny for flirting with human girls and calling her meaningless, right after they got out of a fight! She won't even look at him. Johnny is just sitting on the couch in Spectra's house, starring at Kitty, looking miserable, and sighing a bunch. Skulker is fixing his suit, still furious at me, and muttering about how he is underappreciated! The dipstick! He just literally got his suit handed to him by Phantom's out of shape old man, and got humiliated in front of Phantom himself!

For some reason that I don't know, Penelope is ticked at Bertrand! They aren't even a couple! I guess he just annoys her. Bertrand looked a bit ruffled himself because Spectra wanted him gone. This fiasco is turning into a dysfunctional couples' (plus Bertrand and Spectra) convention!

"Okay," I started, "This is getting nowhere, I am getting bored, and am about to blow this pop stand. Spectra, get us started."

"Yeah," Skulker says, "Don't keep the lady waiting. I learned that the hard way."

"Oh shut it dipstick! I was waiting for you to find the TV remote, you great hunter, you!"

"Well, look! You two are talking! See, we are making progress."" Spectra says, "Kitty, do you have anything to say to Johnny?"

Kitty thinks it over a bit, and finds the best words to say.

"Just that I am not meaningless and," Johnny sighs mid-sentence, "That one of these days, when you find someone you truly care about, you will find out the hard way that your stupid bike isn't as important as they are!" At this, Johnny looks both frightened, and miserable.

" Very good Kitty! Johnny, do you have anything to say about that?" Spectra asks with true concern in her eyes.

"Oh Kitty, you know that I don't think that you are just a meaningless girl, you are so much more than an ordinary girl! And you are that person that I truly care about. You leaving was how I found out the hard way! Please come back Kitten! Oh, and MY BIKE IS NOT STUPID!"

"So, you are saying that I am not just a meaningless girl," Kitty says with hope in her eyes. I totally saw this next part coming, Johnny needs to find better wording. "And that I am much more than just a girl, but I am still MEANINGLESS?" Johnny absolutely stupefied by this. He looks even more miserable while Kitty looks even more enraged.

"Wait, Kitty. Don't you see how miserable Johnny seems?" Spectra states.

"Yeah! Miserable that I called his bike stupid! I'll do it again, YOUR BIKE IS STUPID!"

"How dare you say that about her?" Johnny shoots back, but soon realizes his mistake in calling it a her, and defending a bike from being called stupid, when he didn't even apologize about calling Kitty meaningless. Ugh, imbecile!

"Oh, so it's a her now, is that right?! I'll bet that you wouldn't even defend me if someone calls me stupid!"

"NO, but would beat them into the next oblivion!"

"Sure you would. If they called your bike stupid! You only didn't do it to me because you knew you were already in hot water!"

"But you saw how I took a beating from Phantom to get you back!"

"You made a deal with Phantom in order to get me off his chest! Sure, I didn't really have feelings for him, and I would of given him space soon, but I just did it to make you feel like how you made me feel by flirting with girls! Only I expected mine to hurt even more because I formed an actual romantic relationship! But you screamed "Fine, you can keep her' and went home!"

"I did take you home! And I sent my shadow to get you to come back!"

"Yeah, by force! You didn't even have the decency to apologize or beg me to come back! You just had your shadow hunt me down! And just face it, you just wanted me back so you could be seen with a hot girl riding on the back of your motorcycle to seem like a lady's man! Well, you are, and I am no longer your lady!"

"Come on now! Kitten!"

"I'm not your Kitten anymore!"

"Kitty! Please! Please don't do this!"

"It's over. Maybe I should of gone for the Box Ghost instead of you after all!"

"Ugh, Johnny, see what you did! You made her want to date the Box Ghost!" I scream. "Johnny?" By now I was expecting him to shoot back something like "I'm trying!" or "Screw up your own relationship!" but no, he just sat there, eyes wide in shock and pain. I swear I heard shattered glass!

"Well, I knew they weren't going to last." Skulker chimes in.

"Oh, you're just ticked that you still haven't proven to me that you are a good hunter, and that Phantom saw you in your true form!"

"How did this get turned into a conversation about our relationship?" asks a now fully suited Skulker.

"Well, Kitty has obviously made up her mind that she is in no relationship, and Johnny is in a state of shock and depression, so he can't talk, so now you two need to work things out!" Spectra answers.

"She's right, Skulker!" I say.

"Oh, so you can admit that Spectra is right, but you can't admit that I am a good hunter?"

"Umm, yeah, because you aren't!"

"Well, I nearly got Phantom eaten by a sea monster!"

"Yeah, nearly! You ended up giving the Fenton's food for two years!"

"Well, I have put both Phantom, and The Red Huntress in my arena to be hunted by me!"

"They used your booby traps against you, temporarily paralyzed you, and escaped!"

"I will have his pelt on my wall!"

"You haven't even thought of an effective plan yet!"

"I am working on it! It would be nice to have some support, and not be continuously criticized by my girlfriend!"

"Umm, ex-girlfriend."

"What?"

"Yeah, you know, this whole loser, obsessive, in a slump attitude. Not working for me. Spectra, your up."

"For what?"

"To work out whatever issues you and Bertrand have!"

"We aren't even a couple!" Bertrand states.

"Yeah, but you are still annoying." Spectra counters.

"Well, you are an overbearing boss and I am not even paid! Plus, I do all the dirty work!"

"You just keep Phantom from foiling my plans. I make the children miserable which makes us look young forever!"

"You also make me miserable which causes wrinkles!"

"Then our partnership is over! Good luck coming up with plans to make you stay young!" Spectra triumphs.

"We're out!" Spectra, Kitty, and I shout at our ex's.

"See if we care!" The guys shout back, including Johnny, who was recovering from his state of shock.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Bye!"

"WAIT!" Kitty blew a kiss and made herself, myself, and Spectra disappear. We reappear right next to the asteroid belt!

"AHHHHHH!" We scream as we all franticly fly towards Earth.

"So that's where it goes! Gee, I wonder how all the boys of Amity Park survived!" Kitty states.

"Where are we going?" Spectra asks.

"I don't know. I mean, not many other places on Earth are so used to ghosts! And none are as immune as Amity park!" I say.

"But Danny would never let us stay. And if he sees people acting different, he will assume that we are overshadowing them!" Kitty announces.

"But, if we go to Danny, and explain ourselves that we mean no harm, he may let us stay." I explain.

"That could work, but where would we stay?" Penelope questions.

"Easy, with Danny. He would probably feel better too, cause if we are closer to him, he wouldn't have to worry much and he could keep a closer eye on us."

"Great idea! But one more thing." Kitty says mischievously.

"What?"

"Do we really mean no harm?"

"Of course we do! Duh, we are villainesses!" Spectra says.

"I've got it! The perfect way to make mischief, drama, and misery!" I triumph.

"How?"

"Ladies, we are enrolling in Danny's high school!" We all start wickedly laughing, well aware that those three things thrive there!

"Your right Ember! That is like a cockroach infestation there! Plus, we won't be on Danny's radar because that is normal there! Genius!" Spectra gushes.

"Heh, Casper High, here comes trouble!" I pull out a picture of Skulker, "Skulk all you want, but you'll never find us!"


AN: Hey readers. I have recently gotten into the Danny Phantom tv series. My favorite episode is Gril's Night Out, because sometimes, I feel like I can really use a break from the drama of guys in my life. Plus I really love Ember, Kitty, and Spectra. Especially Ember! I always call people dipsticks! But the part that I didn't like about the ending is that we didn't know if they got back together or not! Last night, at one in the morning, I had my inspiration! So, hope you like it! Review! Constructive critism is always welcome.
