Alright, im attempting to start my first multi-chapter story. the basic plotline here is that Ember somehow falls in love with Danny, who is just realizing his feelings with Sam, but doesn't know if she likes him back the same way, and must choose between them. (prolly gonna end up being DxS in the end, just want some feed back from reviewers to help me guide this story)

Disclaimer: i do not own Danny phantom, or any other characters from the show.

Burning for You

Chapter 1: So Cute When They're Young.

Back in their youthful days, Danny Fenton, Samantha (went by Sam) Manson, and Tucker Foley had been under a spell of eternal bliss granted upon them by their carefree childhood. Though this 'eternity' would only last several more months before all their lives would be changed forever.

Danny, Sam and Tucker have just turned 15 within months of each other and were all in the 9th grade. It was in mid-March, and the flowers were in full bloom, the entire spectrum of colors, represented in the flowers put all of Amity Park in a slight state of bliss, well almost everyone.

"Aaaa-chooo!" sneezed poor little Sam, as the trio walked home from school one Friday afternoon. Sam had horrible allergies this time of year, which made her miserable, along with the never-ending rainbow of anti-goth colors creeping up on her every which way she turned.

"GOSH! I hade deese stubid allergies," a rather congested Sam yelled out to her friends, "why can't deeze stubid flowers bloom during Halloween? That would make it much scarier."

Danny couldn't help but giggle at his friend, "hehe, I suppose that's true Sam, so anyway, what does everyone want to do tonight? Scary movies at your house again as usual?"

"Danny, c'mon! We've seen probably every single horror movie 4 times! All at Sam's house." Tucker butted in. "Let's go to the amusement park or something, they've got all these new rides that the ads guarantee to give you a slight heart attack! Now don't tell me that isn't funner than watching boring ole scary movies guys."

Sam raised and eyebrow and put on a little smirk while glancing at Tucker, "First off, scary movies aren't boring, second, I think he's right Danny, let's do something new for a change, and lastly Tuck, "funner" isn't a word" she said in a mocking sort of voice.

"Oh my God!" Danny started laughing out loud, as Tucker got a little bit embarrassed in his English skills, "no wonder you're getting a c- in English Tuck."

"Yeah, well it's just that Lancer hates me, that's all." Tucker replied while shifting his eyes around nervously.

"Sure whatever you say Tuck." Sam said in a still mocking voice, "meet you guys at the park fountain in 2 hours?" now in a more inquisitive tone.

"You betcha Sammy! I think it's going to be fun, I haven't had a good thrill in a while." The dark haired, bright blue-eyed boy said his goth friend.

They finally reached Sam's house, Danny reached over and gave her a soft pat on the shoulder and told him he would see her that night. It was just Tucker and Danny now.

"Dude you need to tell her…" Tucker suddenly blurted out.

A little spastically, Danny replied, "what? Wha-what are you t-t-talking about?"

"Are you really that clueless? I mean c'mon, you totally have a crush on her Danny"

"DO NOT!" Danny replied while a deep red glow appeared in his cheeks. "She's just my best friend that's all…"

"suuuuure she is Danny, whatever you say. Just keep your lips to yourself when you guys are in the tunnel of looove". Tucker mocked to his friend.

"It's not a when Tuck, it's an if." Danny said in an authortitative tone, but hastily clapped his mouth shut and held his head from embarrassment as even more blood pooled in his cheeks.

"So you DO want to go on the tunnel of love with Sam don't you?"

"That's not what I meant, Tucker." Danny tried to convince him but it was no use, maybe he did have some feelings for Sam, but not that Sam would return them in the greatest magnitude. The conversation went quiet all of a sudden and Tucker went into his front door, Danny, not realizing that they made it all the way to Tucker's house already. Danny Stared at the ground the entire rest of his walk home, which wasn't too far, but long enough to start a conversation in his head.

"Do I like her that way?" Danny thought to himself.

"Yes, you totally do, but I know not as much as Paulina though…" His voice in his head replied.

I know, she's a fox ain't she?

Yea, but Paulina couldn't love you though, Sam on the otherhand…

What? Could she? C'mon don't leave me hangin!

Well, if you are in love with your frie…

Whoa! In love! Aren't you taking this a little too far?

No, im just saying to you what you are thinking deep down that's all, like I was saying. If you are in love with your friend, then at least you know you guys would get along great and she would accept you for who you are.

I guess you're right…

Danny made it home after an awkward conversation with himself. He plopped his backpack down next to the door, kicked off his shoes and went to the kitchen and grabbed some chips, when his sister Jazz, who was already sitting down on the couch called Danny into the other room.

"So how was your day Danny?" Jazz asked in a playful tone of voice.

"Bleh, just a day at school, nothing much." Danny replied in an almost disgusted way.

"So how are Tucker and your girlfriend?" Jazz smirked and started getting up, getting ready to dodge any sort of projectile that would be heading her way.

"She is NOT my girlfriend" Danny said very annoyed, and threw the couch pillow at Jazz's face.

"Oh lighten up Danny. So whatcha doing tonight?"

"Sam and Tucker are going to the amusement park with me tonight"

"Oh, sounds fun, you going on the tunnel of loooove with Sam?" Jazz said with some unusual amusement on her face.

"I've already had this talk with Tucker, so shut up!" Danny replied angrily.

After an hour and a half of talking with Jazz eating chips and finishing homework, Danny walked up stairs and brushed his teeth and combed his hair making a slightly big deal out of tonight, but it didn't matter, because he didn't look any different than before he got ready.

"Ooh look at my little brother looking all nice for his first date!" Jazz teased Danny.

Danny said nothing and rolled his eyes as he went ghost and flew to the park. Waiting for a good night that is almost ready to unfold.
