Mr McLain: Eight years and beyond

Christmas truce

Shout out to sheriff11

A few months later

"Danny, why are you going to the party?" Tucker asked while he stood near the portal, watching his best friend getting ready for the annual Christmas truce. Danny went ghost and looked back at him, he sighed and didn't know why he was going himself. Every since his talk with Ember on that rooftop… he couldn't stop thinking about her, and it freaked him out.

"I have to go… all the ghost in the zone attends" Danny explained while he opened the portal, "Especially me... Since I put most of them in jail and it's the rule"

"Blah blah blah" Tucker mumbled rolling his eyes, "Just be careful, man"

"It's the Christmas truce, nothing will happen," he said with a reassuring smile

"Okay," Tucker said nodding his head and watching Danny leave.

Ghost Zone

"What the hell wrong with you?" Kitty asked while she held her drink, hearing the music blasting in the background and everyone having fun.

"What are you talking about?" Ember asked staring at her with a confused look

"You've been so… locked up lately" she said

"I don't know what you're talking about," Ember said looking down at her drink while she moved it around.

"I'm just saying…. You've been weird," Kitty said raising a brow

"Can we talk about something else?" Ember said drinking her punch

"Fine... Any luck on finding a guy?" Kitty asked while she saw Danny walked in, who was immediately greeted… well licked by Wulf. Ember sighed and looked away from her bestie, the ghost zone was huge! But clearly, there wasn't a decent guy in the entire zone. She found them all morons and morons was the nicest word she could use, especially when all of the morons are at the party.

"No… they're all morons," Ember said with her cup resting her on lips

"YO! DANNY!" Johnny shouted pushing Ember and Kitty, "What's up?!"

"Hey, Johnny," Danny said while he had his arms wrap around

"Glad you could make it," he said and hug his neck

"He has to attend… it's the rule after all" Walker said in his emotionless tone of voice

"I wouldn't want to break the rule," Danny said rolling his eyes

"Why don't you hook up with, Phantom?" Kity teased and punched her shoulder

"Funny…." Ember said rolling her eyes, "Like I would hook up with him"

"Blah!" Kitty whined and went to get another drink

"Hey, Danny!" a young ghost woman said quickly going towards him, "Wow… its so awesome to see you up close!"

"Oh… hello?" Danny said raising a brow, he had never seen this ghost before she must be new to the zone. "It's nice to meet you?" Danny waiting slightly.

"Oh! My name is Laura!" she said and got closer to him, "I just want to say… you amazing!"

"Thanks?" Danny said smiling at her

"HM!" Ember glared and crushed her cup with some of her drink spilling onto her hand, she didn't know why she was acting like this? "Just calm down" Ember took a deep breath and threw the cup away.

"You're so amazing! Can you tell me some stories?!" She asked and held his arm

"Uh… I think I shouldn't….. I put most of the people here in jail" Danny said glancing at his enemies, who were simply staring at him. "The only reason they're not killing me at the moment is because of the truce," he said.

"But you don't have to mention names," she said and drag him to the table.

"Ugh… not another crazy fan" Danny sighed in annoyance and simply followed her, he could tell he was going to be stuck with her all night.

"Ember?" Kitty said walking from behind and noticed she was glaring, "What are you staring at?"

"Nothing…" Ember mumbled while she crushed her cup some more

"Really? You're killing your cup at the moment" Kitty said and pointed at her hand, "Well... It's already dead"

Ember looked down and let go, she had taken a red drink so it looks like the cup was bleeding. Ember threw it away and simply stared at Laura ranted about something, Danny simply had a bored expression on his face and seem annoyed.

"Why am I acting like this?" Ember closed her eyes and turned away from them, she didn't want to watch them because she wasn't sure about her feelings.

"Come on! Please tell me!" Ember looked back and saw Laura clinging to Danny's arm; she could tell Danny was annoyed with her but was too good to do anything.

"Hey! Back off" Ember said walking towards them, she frowned and pulled Laura away.

"What's with you, McLain?" Laura asked crossing her arms

"Just because you're new! Doesn't mean you get bug people" Ember said with her hair flaming higher, "The dipstick said no! So back off"

"I was just asking," she said and crossed her arms

"You're pissing him off! So fuck off" Ember said and pushed her back. Laura rolled her eyes and walked away Ember smirk and turned back to face Danny.

"Thanks, Ember," Danny said watching Laura talking with someone else, "How did you know…..?"

"That she was pissing you off?" she asked and crossed her arms, "I could tell…. We have the same annoying expression"

"LET'S GET NAKED!" Danny looked up and saw Johnny trying to strip down naked, he would have succeeded if Kitty wasn't behind him, and trying to keep his clothes on.

"Get down!" Kitty shouted and pulled Johnny down

"There's alcohol in here," Walker said smelling Johnny's drink, "You broke the rules"

"Walker just chill," Kitty said pushing him back slightly, "I got this"

"WHOA!" Johnny shouted and ran off. Kitty growled and quickly ran after him, she grabs his arm and turned him around before punching him out cold. Johnny made a weird face before passing out, he fell into Kitty's arms who fell to the ground from his weight.

"Moron!" Desiree said flying towards Kitty, "Here I'll help you"

"Thanks," Kitty said putting an arm around her neck, while Desiree did the same for the other.

"I'm going to have a talk with him," Walker said while he watched Kitty and Desiree leave the party. Ember shook her head slightly and went to get a third drink, she poured some in a cup and took a sip.

"Why did Ember help me?" Danny wondered while he watched Ember from afar

"Hey baby" Ember lowered her drink and slowly turned, her eyes widen slightly when she saw Skulker smiling at her.

"What do you want with me?" Ember asked and backing away slightly, "Leave me alone"

"Don't be such a bitch, baby!" Skulker said placing his hand under her chin, "Why not a kiss? You know for old time sakes"

"Never," Ember said moving his hand away, "We broke up!"

"Shut up!" Skulker said and pushed her, "Don't be the worthless piece of shit, that you are!"

"Did he just…" Danny couldn't believe his ears! Skulker was treating Ember like crap! And he wasn't going to allow it any longer!

"You think you're full of confidence now?!" Skulker said and pinning Ember against the wall, "Just because of your famous? Well your not! You're still that same little girl, who self-conscious, a loser, and unloved by all! Not even your parents loved you!"

Ember stared in shock, she felt like a blade had gone through her chest and broken whatever confidence she had in her. She wanted to hit him, she wanted to talk shit about her ex, but the old Ember inside of her…. Had taken over…. She didn't know what to say.

"No one will ever love you! You're worthless! You not even a good singer!" Skulker shouted and smiling seeing Ember broke from the inside. "Next time…. do what I say, bitch," Skulker said before laughing at her.

"It's just like before… I'm always threatened like shit" Ember sighed as she was reminded of her old life. Ember hug herself as she felt old wounds reopen, she was never loved by her parents, she didn't have any friends and everyone around her saw her as a burden. Ember moved her gaze and saw the ghost around them were looking the other way, turning a blind eye and not even bothering to help her.

"Hey! Skulker! Why don't you fuck off!" Danny shouted and pushed him back. Ember looked up and saw Danny was standing in front of her, he must have walked over and she hadn't noticed.

"Is he…. Helping me?" Ember simply watched, she had never thought someone would stand up for her… no one ever did.

"What did you say to me?!" Skulker said clenching his fist and looking down at him

"Don't treat her like that!" Danny said with his eyes glowing, "Got it!"

"I'm going to cut off your head! And mount it on my wall!" Skulker said taking out his gun and pointing at him.

"Bring it!" Danny said with his hands glowing.

"Stop right there!" Walker said stepping in between the two, "Fighting is prohibited during the Christmas Truce! It's against the rules"

"UGH! You got lucky this time, boy!" Skulker said putting his gun away. Danny glared at Skulker, he couldn't believe how he treated Ember! It just pissed him off! He wanted to punch Skulker in the face!

"You want to know something, Skulker?! You should never treat a woman like this! You should treat her with respect and to love her for her!" Danny shouted while Walker pushed the angered hunter back.

"This isn't over!" Skulker shouted while being held back. Danny flips him off and walked out of the party, he needed to cool off before he broke the truce.

"Danny wait!" Ember said going outside and tapping his shoulder. She couldn't believe Danny said those things… especially when he said the word 'love', she felt something inside her wake up.

"That jerk!" Danny said walking around slightly.

"I can't believe you stood up for me," Ember said moving her hand away

"I wasn't going to let Skulker talk shit about you," Danny said crossing his arms and glaring back at the party.

"I…. its... Just no one as ever stood up for me before" Ember said smiling at him, "It's… just weird for me"

"What do you mean?" Danny asked uncrossing his arms and looking down at her.

"Stop!" Ember looked away, she didn't want to relive the pain she felt…. She already did tonight and didn't want to go through this pain even more.

"Thanks" Ember whispered and took off.

"You're welcome…." Danny mumbled and waved at her.
