Mr McLain: Eight years and beyond

A special rooftop

Danny sighed while he flew above the city it been months since Sam broke up with him, but it felt like it was just yesterday. He couldn't understand why Sam just left him over something he couldn't control. Danny saw a rooftop and landed, he walked around and looked down at the city below.

"It's quiet up here" Danny mumbled and smiled, he liked it up here. All of his crazy fans wouldn't be able to see him, he could be alone and have some private time... something that was rare these days.

"Heads up!" Danny looked up and felt his ghost sense go off, he quickly dodges Ember's attacked and flew in the air.

"Ember," Danny said smirking and glaring at her, "Are you here to scare off the children?"

"Oh… now that was mean, babypop" Ember said with her arms crossed, "I think you hurt my feelings"

"Yeah… whatever" Danny said sighing before he created a plasma ray

"He's not joking around?" Ember raised a brow and simply dodge his attack, she quickly waited for his next one but didn't see it.

"Why are you here, Ember?" Danny asked while he simply floated in the air, "I wanted to be alone"

"Why aren't you fighting, Dipstick?" Ember asked landing on the rooftop, "You seem…. Off? You're usual rant and throw your attacks at me"

"I'm just not into it….. that's all" Danny said landing as well and looking away

"Wh…? You're not even going to ask why I'm here?" Ember asked while she watched Danny sit down.

"Just…" Danny clenched his fist and tried to hit her, Ember simply stopped his fist with her hand and looked at him. She could clearly tell something was wrong, the dipstick wasn't acting like himself.

"Dipstick, I can tell something up," Ember said letting go and raising a brow, "Just talk"

"It's just…. My breakup" Danny said sighing and watching the sunset, "With Sam"

"The goth chick?" Ember asked sitting down but made such there was a lot of space between them.

"Yeah... The goth chick" Danny said and smiled slightly

"What's up with her?" Ember asked. Ember didn't care about Danny or that goth chick he was seeing, there were tonnes of news about them but Ember never kept up to date with it. She could easily avoid the gossip news, magazines, and every related to the dipstick in the Ghost Zone.

"She broke up with me because she was in the spotlight! The press! The fans and the reporters!" Danny said moving his hands in the air, "She was tired of The Great Danny Phantom's life!"

Danny said and pretending to be one of the reporters, he sighed and leans his head on his hand with his elbow resting on his knee.

"I thought she was nice and shit," Ember said looking away. Ember glanced at Danny quickly since she understood what he was going through, the sacrifices you have to give for being famous along with the struggles of having a normal life.

"She changed I guess," Danny said moving his arm away

"Didn't you explain that it wasn't your fault?" Ember asked turning her head towards him, "We can't control them"

"I did but she blamed me," Danny said turning to face her, "She asked me why didn't I do more or I should control my fans"

"What a bitch," Ember said and shook her head, she couldn't believe Sam was that dump…. Well not really, she never liked Sam to start with. Danny looked at her and smirk slightly, something Ember quickly caught on. "I'm sorry but she is a bitch," Ember said again.

"I never said the opposite" Danny said and chuckled softly, "Your right"

"Like she a moron! She should be supportive, I don't see why she blaming you for something you can't control" Ember said waving her hand around while she ranted. Danny smiled slightly while he watched her, he had never talked to Ember like this before even during the Christmas truce. They usually avoided each other, or whenever they did spoke it was small talk but nothing else.

"I know… she wasn't the one" Danny said as they sky turn a beautiful orange and purple, "It's nice tonight isn't it?"

Ember smiled and turned to the sky, she wow slightly as she watched the beautiful sunset with the sky in a light orange and purple. She had never seen something as beautiful as this and she was watching this with Danny, her enemy, she wasn't supposed to be doing this?! She was supposed to be fighting him at the moment! And why did she asked about his problems?

"Dammit! What's wrong with you, McLain?! I couldn't care less about the dipstick!" Ember kicked herself for even stopping the fight when she could have taken his moment of weakness and finally defeat him. She could do it right now! She could attack Danny when his guard is down, she could defeat him and finally take over the world! Her youth revolution could finally happen with Danny out of her way... If she attacked him now.

"Do it... Do it…" Ember opened her hand and started to form a plasma ball, she smiled at her upcoming victory until she stopped. She had never seen Danny this close before… and she couldn't help but notice how handsome he was. She knew Danny for the longest time but she never took the chance to stop, and look at him. "Wow…" Ember moved her gaze and noticed Danny was more muscular from when they had first fought.

"FUCK!" Ember looked away and lowered her hand, she watched the plasma ball disappear from her hand. She couldn't believe she was thinking about Danny in that way!

"Something wrong?" Danny asked turning to face her

"No…. it's nothing," Ember said smiling slightly and turned back to the sky. Danny nodded and stared at Ember, and she was beautiful. He noticed her beauty when they first met but there were no chances he would admit it, but staring at her right now…. he felt his heart beating slowly beating faster in his chest.

"What the hell wrong with me… it's Ember! For goodness sake!" Danny quickly turned and sighed some more. The two didn't say anything to each other and simply sat on the rooftop, and watched the beautiful sunset being filled with stars.

"It's a very nice view from up here," Ember said staring at the full moon surrounded by a blanket of stars.

"It is…" Danny agreed as he moved his head as a shooting star passed by.

"You'll find someone," Ember said while she continued to stare at the stars. Danny raised a brow and looked away from the night sky, he turned and stared at Ember.

"Find?" he asked

"A woman? There's a woman out there for you, who's going to understand your lifestyle... You just have to find her" Ember said softly with her flaming hair moving along with the wind. Danny smiled some more and nodded his head, he looked down and stared at his feet.

"You're right," Danny said moving his hand around, "And there's probably someone for you out there! You know besides Skulker"

"I doubt it," Ember said closing her eyes, "Its too late for me"

"Don't be so hard on yourself," Danny said tapping her shoulder, "You'll find someone too"

"If you say so…," Ember said smiling slightly.

"Stubborn as always" Danny shook his head slightly and gave her a quick glance.

"Thanks…" Danny said getting up and looking back at her, "I really needed this... Thank you so much, Ember! You know... when we're not fighting or you trying to rip my head off…. Well, you're a kind woman and I would love to see this side of you more often."

Ember simply watched Danny fly off, she didn't know what to think or how to react. Was she supposed to be mad? Was she supposed to attack something? What the hell was she supposed to do… how was she supposed to even react over this?

"What's going on…," Ember whispered softly staring at the stars
