-Chapter 1-
Haha hey, guys! A new story, then. ;3 (REMEMBER, THIS is a Danny x Ember! I'm not perfectly sure how ratings work, BUT I don't do lemons. There is very mild swearing in my stories (I don't overdo swearing in my stories... like, ever.) o.o
Well, if you've read the summary, that's what this, basically, is about so not much to say I guess. I don't plan on this being a one-shot at all, but I don't plan to make it 30 chapters either, so...
I don't own anything. (Just curious... I know about copyright and everything, but why exactly do we have to put "I don't own anything"? It's not like the creators are checking Fanfic to find fakers taking credit for their work, right? -.-
I got the idea of "body-switching" for an episode of something I watched, but the plot in my story is different in many ways: characters, the script, most of the ideas, how it ends and how it starts. The only thing the same is the main plot which was, literally, just body switching. -.-
ANYWAY... here's "Unexpected". Hope you enjoy and review it, mates. ^_^
In Amity Park, a usual fight between the town's hero was at hand against one of his enemies. It would be a normal fight, but for both Danny and the enemy he was fighting it was different; it had a drastic consequence that no one saw coming.
"What the hell did you do!?" Ember exclaimed as she panicked extremely.
"Whoa, I didn't know your guitar could do this..." Danny said softly under his breath as he slowly looked around Amity.
"Argh! Phantom, I'm going to end you!" Ember screamed as she flew at top speed towards Danny.
"Well then, I guess I'm just going to have to use this as a defence weapon..." Danny said with a small hint of glee as he lifted Ember's most prized possession in his left hand; Ember's blue and pink electric guitar.
"Whoa, hold on! Put that down!" Ember shouted pointing directly at her guitar.
"Okay, how? Do you want me to throw it down to the floor or smash it against the floor?" Danny asked playfully knowing this was going to make Ember want to kill him; teasing his enemies always seemed like a thrill for Danny.
"Don't think even think about it, dipstick!" Ember said trying not to sound panicked, but tried to sound intimidating instead.
"Alright, alright. Now tell me... how do we undo this? Undo it, and I won't do anything to your guitar." Danny said softly and calmly to try calm Ember down since Ember looked as if she was going to explode with anger.
"WE CAN'T UNDO THIS HELL YOU CAUSED! DON'T YOU GET THAT!? IT MIGHT TAKE WEEKS OR EVEN MONTHS TO GET THIS HELL SORTED!" Ember raged.
"Why? Can't you just smash an undo chord on your guitar or something and everything goes back to normal!?" Danny began to panic.
"Well I COULD HAVE! But no! You had to go and freakin' smash the whole body-switching system!" Ember said turning her back as she began to mumble in a childish way.
Danny sighed loudly and heavily as he tried to think what he could do since this really was a mess.
-10 Minutes ago-
"Ember! What are you doing here!? I'm off patrol soon and I'm meeting Tucker at the Nasty Burger in 10 minutes so... can we make this a quickie?"
"Wow, Phantom, you have no idea how wrong that sounded..." Ember mumbled with a slight sense of humour in her voice.
"What?" Danny asked smiling raising an eyebrow since he secretly heard it; he just wanted to hear it again.
"I said: 'Don't worry, me beating you up will take a lot quicker than 10 minutes.'" Ember lied with a small smile.
"Seriously... c'mon! What are you here for?" Danny asked again, not in the mood for banter since he had serious plans for when he got to the Nasty Burger.
"What do you think I'm here for? I came here to see my 'favourite' ghost boy!'" Ember said with much sarcasm, but then added, "Honestly, Phantom... sometimes you really are a dipstick, what else could I be here for? I'm taking over Amity!" Ember said with a shake of her head with disappointment; disappointed with Danny's stupidity.
"Oh right... that makes sense." Danny said nodding as he readied a fighting stance. He had 5 minutes left to get to the Nasty Burger, and he really needed to get there.
"Oh please. Bring it." Ember taunted playfully with a wink.
Danny began to blush unknown to Ember. Danny then charged with intense speed at Ember in hope that with the speed he's flying, Ember wouldn't be able to notice the blush.
Ember didn't notice the speed nor blush. She turned to give one more taunt, but by the time she looked and turned towards Danny, he had crashed right into Ember's guitar.
A massive snowy-white and electric-blue flash surrounded and covered most of Amity Park for less than 2 seconds. The flash was brighter than the sun and just as blinding.
When Ember and Danny had opened their eyes, they were a couple feet apart. At first, nothing happened and Ember was about to lecture how dangerous that could have been for Danny if her guitar broke, but she stopped herself since she saw her guitar wasn't on her neck.
"Wait, what?" Ember asked out loud when she saw she was wearing Danny's hazmat suit with his logo. "Wow, his colour choice isn't bad... I'll give him that." Ember muttered.
Suddenly a piece of hair floated down onto Ember's face and it was snowy-white. Ember didn't panic at first; she merely calmly expressed, "Oh great. How the hell can I be getting white hair if I can't grow older?"
Ember was about to look for her guitar, but halted when she heard Danny scream.
"Oi, dipstick! Have you seen my-" Ember's train of thought stopped when she saw herself stand up and walk towards her. "Ember... we have a slight problem here." The Ember in front of her said, though she guessed was Danny since he gestured to Ember McLain who was in fact, in the wrong body.
"What the hell did you do!?" Ember exclaimed as she panicked extremely.
-Back to present-
"Okay... you calm now?" Ember asked with a slight smile in Danny's body.
"Me!? You're the one who-" Danny was about to argue using Ember's voice, but she just laughed in Danny's voice and said, "I was only joking, dipstick... take a joke." Ember said with another laugh.
"Ember, this is serious. I'm in your body. And you're in mine. I mean... I talk like you and you talk exactly like me. This would be so cool if it wasn't going to screw up my life..." Danny mumbled the last bit.
"Yeah..." Ember replied simply.
"Wait... you said this would take weeks or months for this to be fixed, why would this take weeks or months? Can't you just fix it and fix this?" Danny asked.
"That's the thing: I didn't make my guitar, I'm not exactly smart..." Ember said with a shrug.
"Well, that's your opinion..." Danny complimented quietly as his face began to heat up.
Ember heard it, but didn't comment because anything she would have said after would have made her blush more than she is now... if possible.
"So, uh, anyway... my guitar was made from a ghost that actually got - well... he was a rare ghost and you know how Skulker's always hunting rare ghosts down?" Ember began to explain, but stopped since Danny already guessed what happened.
"Oh... so, Skulker ended his after life?" Danny said with his eyes wide.
"Yeah... and he was the only person I knew who could fix and make my guitar so..." Ember summed up with a shrug.
"Oh no..." Danny said under his breath. "So, do we stay like this forever, then?" Danny asked.
"I don't know..." Ember said depressingly, but then lightened the mood and said, "Funny how we're not fighting now, huh?"
"Haha, yeah..." Danny said still in Ember's voice and body.
"Danny!" Danny and Ember heard Sam call.
"Oh crap. Warning: beware of the goth chick." Ember said with slight amusement.
"Okay listen, Ember - I mean me. Listen, Danny. Until we can work this out, just act as if we usually do, okay!? Quickly act! Sam's here!" Danny whispered fiercely as he tried to work the guitar that was around his neck.
"What are you doing here? Tucker called me asking if I knew where you were!" Sam said talking to "Danny".
"Huh? Oh right... I was just, uh... fighting ghosts... the thing I do, you know?" Ember asked plainly as it came out as Danny's voice.
"Ember, what are you doing here!?" Sam asked angrily to "Ember".
"Uh... taking over Amity and stuff! Controlling minds! Singing and yeah!" Danny said nervously.
"Danny, you got the thermos?" Sam asked who she thought was Danny.
"Thermos? Oh the thermos! That little crap-hole... I mean... I forgot it... doesn't matter! I was just about to leave anyway because Ember's way too powerful for me to handle!" Ember said holding back a laugh and a smile.
"Say what!?" Danny shockingly asked as he put his arms on his hips. 'Stupid girl tendency...' Danny thought annoyingly referring to the 'hands-on-hip' movement.
"Danny, you're acting weird..." Sam noticed.
"Oh no, c'mon, dipstick. Just because you're super cute doesn't mean you should give up..." Danny said with a smirk.
"Ember... did you just call Danny cute?" Sam thought out loud.
"Well played... Ember..." Ember muttered.
"But she has got a point, you are super cute, Danny..." Sam said as she leaned forward to kiss "Danny".
"Whoa! Whoa! Back off, what are you? A lesbian?!" Ember asked frantically without thinking. 'Oh crap... wait...'
Danny face-palmed hard. "Danny, what are you talki-" Before Sam could question, "Ember" flew into "Danny" and they crashed by a tree far away from Sam.
"Ember! What the hell was that!?" Danny complained on Ember's "acting" skills.
"Hey! Not my fault! I didn't agree to be you! Nor did I agree to have a make-out session with the goth chick!" Ember said as she gagged majorly.
"It wouldn't matter because you'd be me! Besides, you're basically a guy now!"
"That's so many levels of wrong!" Ember said as she gagged more.
"Ember" then got up off "Danny".
"It doesn't matter anyway; I was supposed to meet up with Tucker 20 minutes ago to ask him how to break up with Sam."
"It's not that hard... if you want, I'll do it for you!" Ember suggested.
"How are you going to break up with Sam for me? I'm going to do it, it makes more sense." Danny said as he turned around to walk back to Sam.
"Wow. You're totally right, it makes sense that 'Danny' wouldn't be the one to break up with his girlfriend, but it makes a lot more sense that 'Ember' would do it... I see." Ember said with a large amount of sarcasm and a smirk.
"Ugh, god sake. I forgot." Danny mumbled.
"Look, I'll be fair. So, we'll do this your way and I won't interfere. How do you want to break up with her and I'll do it exactly as you want." Ember co-operated maturely.
"Wow... okay then. So, first I want to be alone with her so it's not public." Danny began.
"Okay," Ember said following along, nodding with each point.
"Then, I want to keep her calm and tell her why I'm breaking up with her..." Danny explained.
"Wait... why are you breaking up with her?" Ember asked curiously.
"Urm... I can't tell you..." Danny said pathetically.
"Well, you're going to have to. Wait... I'm going to guess! Is it because she's goth?" Ember asked.
"No."
"Is it because she's really ugly?"
"No."
"Is it because she really ISN'T straight?"
"No."
"Is it because you're cheating on her... and you feel guilty?"
"No."
"Is it because you want a 'physical' relationship, but she doesn't?"
"Can't even believe you went there..."
"Okay then, not that either... oh my god... it's because you got her pregnant! Oh that's it! Isn't it!?"
"No!" Danny said fed up.
"You know, I'll stop trying to guess if you just tell me..." Ember said moving closer to Danny (herself) for comfort.
Danny sighed and said, "It's because I don't like her in that way anymore and there's no spark and I like this other girl and my mind's all screwed up."
Ember had no comment.
"Danny!?" Sam yelled hoping for a reply, Sam ran up to the tree only to see "Danny" (Ember) standing there like a statue with Ember McLain (Danny) gone.
"Danny, what are you doing?" Sam asked confused.
"Oh, um... I was just going to, uh... meet with T-Tucker... like I said I would..." Ember said nervously playing as Danny, under the real Danny's orders.
"Oh, okay, we can walk down together!" Sam said joyfully.
"Uh... sure... You go ahead first for a second, I have to do something." Ember said as calmly as she could without gagging at Sam's request.
"Okay, bye, Dan!" Sam said as she kissed "Danny's" cheek and then ran down the street.
Ember was about to puke. "Eughh! That was the worst experience of my afterlife! You know what!? It's worse than dying!" Ember choked.
Danny then became visible in front of Ember. "What? Getting a kiss on the cheek from Sam?"
"Ugh! Don't even mention it! I'm going to literally be sick! Seriously, if I had a stomach that worked, it would be working real hard to keep my breakfast down!"
"Hahah! Oh well. Thanks, Ember, for playing along." Danny thanked with a smile.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't get all mushy with me. So, until I can track down the guy's master that made my guitar, we're going to have to try making a compromise here." Ember replied with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Just try to live my life for the time being." Danny said softly.
"Wait! Are you serious!? Look, Phantom: I don't do hero business, I don't kiss goth chicks, I don't do school and I don't do parents and teenage responsibilities and curfews..." Ember said crossing her arms.
"Please? You have to be Amity's hero for a while, you can avoid Sam, you can stay ill at home or something and you can just not acknowledge they're there... and just try to get in before curfews and stuff!" Danny begged.
"No! I'm staying in the Ghost Zone and being Ember McLain and using my afterlife!" Ember stated firmly.
"That makes no sense! You can't be Ember McLain and use her afterlife if you're Danny Phantom! I'm going to have to live your afterlife!" Danny retorted.
"Hell no! I'm not letting you wonder around the Ghost Zone as me!" Ember complained.
"Do we have a choice!?" Danny argued.
"What if you run into some guy that wants to beat Ember McLain up in there and you have no idea how to use my guitar!?" Ember panicked.
"I can play guitar..." Danny mentioned.
"Really? It doesn't matter anyway... it doesn't work like that..." Was Ember's reply.
"Uh... I'll just use your basic ghost powers, then." Danny suggested.
"This has bad idea written all over it." Ember summed up.
"It won't be that bad. Look, here, I'll give you my number so you can call me if it's serious and I'll call you if I run into any problems." Danny said as he transferred the number into each cell phone.
Ember sighed knowing she was going to have to go through with this.
"First thing's first: change into Danny Fenton." Danny commanded.
Ember easily turned into Danny Fenton. "Ugh, being human again..." Ember muttered.
"Okay, before you leave, you have to swear you won't do anything to my guitar. Got it!?" Ember said almost yelling.
"Can't I just give it to you now?" Danny asked.
"No... Have you ever seen me without my guitar!? Yeah, neither has anyone else so it would be the weirdest thing in the Ghost Zone if I didn't have my guitar on me..." Ember answered.
"Okay, fine." Danny said as he took of flying to Fenton Works' lab to the portal, but stopped when "Danny Fenton" grabbed his shoulder.
"What?" Danny asked.
"I fly on my guitar. Have you ever seen me flying about not on my guitar?" Ember asked rhetorically.
"But... I can't really balance... I won't be that good." Danny said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Erm... well just... it's just like surfing..." Ember said with a shrug hoping that would make it better, but it didn't.
"Yeah... no... I don't surf." Danny said as he sighed annoyingly.
"You'll get the hang of it, promise." Ember said kindly.
"Okay, I think this is it." Danny said with a heavy sigh knowing this wasn't going to be easy at all.
"Yeah, I guess. Look, Phantom-" Ember began to say only to be corrected by Danny.
"-I believe you mean 'Ember'." Danny said with an amused chuckle.
"Ha. Ha. Fine then, 'Ember'. Look, I'll try after... ugh school... to find a guy that knows how to work my guitar and fix it." Ember said with disgust as she reminded herself that she had to go to school.
"Ember-" Danny said after a light sigh.
"-Phantom, baby-pop, dipstick... choose one." Ember corrected with a smug.
"Hahah! Okay then, baby-pop. I just wanted to thank you again for agreeing to do this whole thing... it means a lot." Danny said with a small blush.
"Yeah, no problem, Ember. I don't really have a choice anyway. Since you could just as easily ruin my reputation in my afterlife..." Ember said mumbling the last part.
Danny then flew, in Ember's body on her guitar, heading towards the Ghost Zone as Ember, in Danny's body, headed to the Nasty Burger since she remembered Danny had to meet Tucker there.
GUYS! GUYS! GUYS! This is going to be the most complicated story I've ever written because it's so confusing to get the characters saying the right things in the right bodies and agh! -.-
I'm not sure if I should continue it though... what do you guys think? Review and tell me if I should continue or not because I genuinely think you guys won't understand parts as much as I don't when I read over it. :/ X'D
REVIEW! :'3
(Eh, almost forgot, I know this promise is going to likely backfire and that it won't last 2-3 weeks, but I'll try update a chapter once a week like I used to. XD)
