Chapter 1) An Older Guy in a Grocery Store

A/N: This is my first fan fiction. Please review, even if you don't like it. Tell me what I can do better. Just no flames.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ember McLain, or the TV show Danny Phantom.

(3rd person limited- Ember)

Ember was the most relaxed person at Santa Maria. 'Who cares if I fail my exams? I don't need to know quadratic equations when I am a pop star!' she mused to herself as she walked through the produce isle of the local grocery store. While lost in thought, she accidently ran into a hot, older man in his 20's.

"Watch where you're… Sorry! I thought you were someone else. My name's Andrew," he stumbled.

"Hey. You can call me Ember," she purred, " My real name is Emily Amber, but it just doesn't have as much star power, now does it."

"No way! You want to break into the music industry too? Are you going to the American Idol auditions in Los Angeles in a couple weeks?" he exclaimed.

"Yeah. I just have to graduate high school first," she said like that idea bored her to death (Frankly, it did.).

"Do you want a ride? And maybe we can hang out a little before too," he suggested nervously.

Ember casually said, "Sure. Meet me at the movie theater at seven o'clock on Friday," and walked away.

After getting a safe distance away, she called her best friend, Nicole, to start gushing over him.

"Gorgeous eyes, like I could see into his soul... and he has to be somewhere in his early twenties," Ember bragged, before she was interrupted.

"Honey, your only eighteen. Are you sure he's a good guy? I don't want to be a downer, but he could be using you…" she started, before I hung up.

'Fine, if my bff couldn't share in my happiness, no one can,' she thought sadly. I'll show her that Andrew's a perfect gentleman.
