Danny, Sam, Jazz, Tucker and Valerie all walked up to the roof of Danny's house. They were all preparing to release Ember from a Fenton Thermos so Sam could talk with her. As for why Sam would want to converse with the undead rocker, only she knew.
"Before we let Ember out," Valerie said, "maybe I should slip into something a bit more combatible." After saying that, two pink energy rings spun around Valerie and she was now in her red and black ghost hunting suit, complete with a rather large ecto cannon she carried over her shoulder.
"Good idea," Danny said and then transformed into his ghostly alter ego. "All right Sam, let Ember out."
Sam pressed the release button on the Fenton thermos and Ember appeared standing on the roof with the rest of them.
"I'm free," Ember cried after being released. It was at this point that Danny and Valerie had energy blasts charged and aimed at Ember. "Aw crap," Ember said, holding her hands up in the traditional sign of surrender.
"Ok Sam, here's your chance to say what you want to say," Danny said.
"Ember," Sam said while walking towards the musical spirit, "do you remember what you told me about why you want to take over the world?"
"You mean the part about me hating people walking around through life, completely absorbed in their own self-assured sense of superiority?" Ember asked.
"Yeah, that. I went through something like that a few years ago, which is why I became goth. But eventually I came across Danny and Tucker, and my hatred faded. I'm sure the same thing can be done for you."
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Ember asked with a confused expression on her face.
"I'm just saying that maybe we don't have to fight each other. Maybe you can let go of her anger and hate, and we can help you."
"Sam, are serious?" Danny said.
"I know what I'm doing, Danny," Sam countered.
Ember was considering what Sam had said. She had been alone ever since she came into existence as a ghost. And now she had the best friend of one her enemies offering her friendship. She knew what she was going to do.
"All right," Ember said, "I'll give up trying to take over the world." Probably more trouble than its worth Ember thought to herself.
"Thanks, Ember," Sam said and then hugged Ember briefly. When the hug ended, Ember grabbed both sides of Sam's face and aggressively kissed her. As soon as Ember did this her flaming ponytail stood strait up and split into the shape of heart.
Sam's eyes widened in shock from locking lips with Ember, but she did not resist the ghost. She did not return the kiss either. This was certainly not what she had planned with trying to get Ember to renounce evil.
As for everyone else, they were too shocked to do anything- except for Tucker, who took a picture of the two girls kissing with his PDA. About a minuet later, Sam and Ember broke apart and Ember's ponytail assumed its original shape.
"Why did you do that?" Sam asked.
"Because I wanted to," Ember said.
"Forgetting what we just saw for a moment," Danny said, "Are you trying to get Ember to join our group, Sam?"
"Why not? You're pretty much trying to do the same thing with Valerie," Sam countered.
"True"
"I don't think we should trust her," Valerie said.
"This coming from the girl was trying to kill Danny less than 24 hours ago," Tucker said, and was then met with a nasty glare from Valerie. "Then again, everyone does deserve a second chance."
"She used me and tried to get me to kill Danny. How do we know she won't try something like that again?"
"In my own defense," Ember began, "I'm probably not the first person to use you like that."
"What would make you say that?" Jazz said, her curiosity peaked.
"Well, it was so easy that I would be surprised if someone had not done it before. Also, she probably allowed herself to be used on some subconscious level."
"Not to sound cliched, but its more likely that her judgment was clouded by anger."
"All right," Valerie yelled at the red head and the undead rocker, "I have had enough of you two psycho analyzing me for now."
"All I'm asking for, Valerie," Ember began, "is that you give me the same chance Danny and his friends are giving you."
"All right," Valerie grunted, "I'll give you a chance, but I'll also be keeping an eye on you."
"Fair enough."
"Um, everyone," Sam spoke up, "I need to talk with Ember alone now."
"That's fine," Valerie said, "I need to have some private words with Danny."
"About what?" Danny asked.
"If I told you that in front of everyone now, then it wouldn't be private." After saying this Valerie's bladed jet sled appeared beneath her feet and she hovered a couple inches off the ground. "Hop on Danny."
Danny got onto the jet sled and then it flew directly upward. Then Sam looked around the rooftop, and saw that Tucker and Jazz were still there.
"Can you two do something to keep yourselves occupied for a while?" Sam asked them.
"What if Ember tries something?" Tucker asked.
"Fine. Just stand outside the doorway and don't do anything unless you hear me scream."
Tucker and Jazz went through the roof door and stayed behind as Sam and Ember began their conversation.
