My Name is Ember
an: This one is... REALLY CRACKY! I mean, this one is one of those stories that even the author is thinking WTF the whole time writing it. It's bloody weird. Trust me. :) Randomness guaranteed.
She had been in the midst of another power gaining plot when something smacked hard into her arm and landed in her hands.
It was a small, soft creature with huge beady eyes and a bright yellow beak, not to mention its fur like feathers were a mix between purple, green, and gray.
It blinked up at the ghost girl, long black lashes waving up and down as it stared emotionlessly at her. She made a face, moving to poke its small head.
"Ferby," it squawked suddenly.
"Fur...bee?" the girl repeated confused, "what?"
The creature seemed insistent, however, not to explain itself while it continued to stare at her with wide eyes.
"Ferby. Ferby."
Its strange ears began to wiggle up and down.
Then she realized. Perhaps it thought her name was Ferby... perhaps it misheard her shout earlier as being 'Ferby' instead of 'Ember'. Both names were two syllables. It was possible. She chuckled softly.
"No, no, my name is Ember. EM-BRR."
"Ferby! Ferby! Ferby!" the creature insisted.
Its little taloned feet began to move as it tried walking closer to her as it chanted what it thought was her name.
"Ferby! Ferby!"
"No, it's Ember! It's Ember! My name is Ember!"
"Ferby. Ferby. Ferby. Ferby."
"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU STUPID BIRD! MY NAME IS EMBER!"
For a moment she thought she had finally got the message through the creature's thick skull. And then...
"Ferby. Ferby."
"GAHRAHAAAAAAA!" Ember screamed, "Why won't you listen? My name is EMBER! EMBER! EMBER!"
"Wow. Now here's something you don't see everyday."
The ghostly rockstar turned around in time to see the ghost boy, Danny Phantom, standing not five feet from her with his trusty thermos at the ready.
"Dipstick, can't you tell I'm busy?" she snapped moodily.
Phantom leaned forward, an amused expression on his face as he cupped a hand around his ear.
"What was that, Ferby?"
"MY NAME IS NOT FERBY, IT'S EM-"
Blue white light surrounded her in a cone, pulling her against her will towards the soup container.
"-ber."
She dropped the creature as she lost her footing. Really, she should have seen it coming, after all, Phantom had already had the invention poised for her capture.
"Ferby. Ferby."
The creature chanted as her body was slowly sucked and crammed against her will. Ember's blood boiled. That damn creature deserved to die. DIE! Even if it was the last thing she did! And it would know WHO killed it! SHE would. EMBER! Not FERBY! EMBER!
"My name is EMBER!" she shouted one last time for good measure at the bird, "EMBER!"
The creature blinked innocently at her again with its long lashes.
"YOU WILL REMEMBER MY NAME!"
And then she was lost in darkness as the contraption completely sucked her in and the lid trapped her inside.
"So close," Phantom commented, "you almost beat me there, Ferby..." he shook the thermos, laughing as he faintly heard the enraged screams from inside.
"Ferby. Ferby."
Phantom glanced over at the bird and walked over to it. He picked it up and grinned.
"Ferby. Ferby. Ferby," it chanted with another wiggle.
Phantom grinned.
"Ferby, indeed," he snickered.
And with that, he flew off towards home, a broad evil smile plastered on his face thinking of all the ways he was going to put his new torture device to good use.
An: I wonder... does anyone actually feel bad for Ember right now? *sighs* Poor girl. *heh heh heh*
