Chapter 1: Getting the materials
Ember's POV:
I was thrown back into the Ghost Zone again after having another fight with the local ghost boy hero, Danny Phantom. Almost every ghost of the entire Ghost Realm has heard of him and I only heard of him a couple of days ago. When I was in the human world, I did notice how handsome that he looked. He is a nice guy, charming, caring, and buff. I was interested in this person, so I flew back through the portal again and I was about to fly out of Danny's house when I spotted a belt that his parents must have made. I walked over to it and noticed how stylish that it looked. I read the description card regarding this belt and I was surprised at what I read.
"This belt here is able to cloak, or hide, an ecto-plasmic signature despite the amount of energy that ghosts are able to produce." I smiled at what I read.
'This might help me with what I need to do.' I quickly grabbed the belt and put it on. I hoped that it started to work as I put it on. I then flew out of the house so that Danny would not catch me at all.
Danny's POV:
I was on my way to the kitchen when I thought I felt a ghost nearby. It was there and in the next second, it was gone. I was curious as to how a ghost could have slipped by me.
"Hey mom. I have to go and do something real quick. I will be back for dinner. I promise." My mom just smiled at me because she knew that I was good at keeping any promise that I made. I went to the lab and looked around real quick to see if there were any ghosts at all that could have set off my ghost sense. I looked around for about 5 minutes when I then went back upstairs and went towards the kitchen.
"I am back like I said I was going to be." I sat down at the table and started to eat.
Ember's POV:
I was able to turn myself invisible in time before Danny came downstairs and saw me. It was also a good thing as well that I also decided to fly away so that he would not see me as well. After a while looking to see if the coast was clear at all, I then flew out of the house starting to look for supplies that would make me look like a human. I flew to the center of the town, Amity Park, and looked around. I saw a wide variety of shops, but none of them had what I was looking for. I was about to give up when an old woman started to talk to me.
"Excuse me, miss, but I think that I can help with what you are looking for," she said to me. I always told myself never to look a gift horse straight in the mouth. I learned how to be skeptical of things during my time as a ghost. That is one thing that I did learn. I looked at her again and noticed that she grabbed a bottle of some softs from the jacket that she was wearing. I thought to myself 'Creepy.'
"This bottle here is what is known as 'Essence of Human'. It is a skin dye, but it will give you a human looking skin and lucky for you, I will sell it to you for $100." I looked at her as if she was crazy.
"Lady, you have to be out of your mind if anyone will believe or ever buy that in the first place at all," I said yelling at her. What she said to me next really took me by surprise.
"Oh, and here I thought that a ghost wanted to look to human. My bad." I was shocked. How did she know that I was a ghost in the first place? I did not even tell her who I was at all. I now needed the bottle. I flew towards the nearest ATM went invisible and grabbed some money. The money that I grabbed seemed like thousands of dollars to me. I did not question it at all. I put it in my purse that I always have with me whenever I go somewhere casually. I was going to count it later. I went back to the exact spot where I met the old woman hoping that she would still be there and I was happy to see that she never left at all.
"Here you go. $100 dollars for that skin dye." I saw her smile when I gave her the money. What I did not know was that smile was a smile of deception of me not knowing exactly what the skin dye was going to do. She was also able to throw in some hair dye as well. I thought that maybe it would not hurt and decided to get some as well. I did not think any of it at all. I grabbed both the skin and the hair dye from her and continued shopping. I grabbed a few more things such as fabrics (I knew how to sew), and some clothes in general. After I was done shopping, I then flew back to my realm.
Ghost Zone 30 minutes later…
I arrived back in my realm with products in hand. I put them on my bed and went to work. As I looked through what I bought, I grabbed the skin dye and read the instructions.
"To apply, fill bathtub and dump contents into cold water. Wait 10 minutes for dye to soak into water. When ready, submerge yourself into the tub. Cover hair when a cap and make sure to close eyes. For results, stay submerged for a minute." I finished reading the contents and I went to my bathroom. I filled the tub up to its halfway point and dumped the contents. I waited the 10 minutes that the bottle said and as soon as that was done, I went in the tub. I put my hair up in a shower-cap (it was hard to do since my hair is always on fire) and I went in the tub. I stayed submerged for the minute that it said. As the minute was up, I got up and went over to the mirror that was in my bathroom. What I saw stunned me. There I stood looking like a human.
"I am so happy. I can't wait to meet Danny, but how am I going to meet him." I kept on thinking of ways on how I can get close to him without him even blasting me at all. As I was thinking, I looked in the mirror and noticed that my hair was still a blue flame.
"I have to take care of it somehow." I walked back to my room and grabbed the black hair dye and the contacts that I bought as well. I first put the contacts in and my eyes went from neon green to baby blue, just like Danny's. I grabbed the hair dye and read the instructions on how to apply it.
"To apply, wet hair then put dye in directly. For results, work the dye in with gloves as to not stain the skin." Well, what do you know? It was really simple. As I was getting myself ready to put the hair dye in, I heard someone speak up from behind me.
"So, Ember, what are you doing?" I turned around and there I saw Kitty, one of my friends.
Kitty's POV:
"So, Ember, what are you doing?" I said to her with the towel wrapped around her chest. It was then that I noticed that her skin. It looked like a human's. I was surprised.
"So, Ember, who is the lucky guy?" I asked wanting to know. I was a hopeless romantic. I love anything that has to do with romance.
"It is someone that I met in the human world. He is really cute," Ember told me. I was shocked. Someone from the human world? How? I had to find out more.
"What is his name?" I asked her. I noticed that she mumbled something under her breath that I was unable to make out.
"Who?" I said asking again. Ember spoke up a little louder but still mumbled under her breath. I was getting a little antsy.
"Ember, who is he?" I asked yet again.
"Okay, he is Danny Phantom, Danny Fenton, the halfa." I was shocked. She was in love with the ghost boy. I looked at her and just smiled.
"So, why the get-up?" I asked her wanting to know why her eyes were blue, her skin like a human's.
"I want to get close to Danny without him not knowing that I am a ghost so I decided to dress up as a human to get close to him. I was also going to make myself a new ghost costume to make myself like a halfa but not even close. I bought a silver wig and the fabric needed to make another ghost costume." I was surprised. She was going to go the length that was needed for her to get close to Danny.
"Oh, Ember, I am so proud of you. I can help you with making the new costume."
Ember's POV:
I was looking at Kitty knowing that she was going to be able to help me. I was happy.
"Thank you Kitty. Just let me get my hair done and I will help you. There is a specific way that I want the costume done." I went to the sink and got my hair done. I put the hair dye and worked it in. I looked in the mirror and saw how I looked. I looked great. I was able to put my hair up in a pony-tail. I threw on some clothes and I went back to my bedroom where Kitty was waiting for me.
