Unexpected

Ember my dear

"I GOT EMBER PREGNANT! AGH!" Danny thoughts were going crazy, he couldn't believe it! He had gotten Ember McLain, the famous rocker pregnant?!

"So what do you want to know?" Ember asked staring at his calm face, unaware of Danny's panic attack inside.

"Hm... Is Ember McLain you're actual name?" Danny asked, he knew many ghost in the zone changed their names after their deaths, he seriously doubted Skulker is his actual name .

"It is" Ember said with a small smile, "I was thinking about changing it but I wanted to keep my name"

"Ember McLain… Much more catchier then any other name" Danny said earning a slight blush from Ember.

"Why do you want to know more about me?" Ember asked as she stared into Danny's green eyes.

"A lot of things have happened…." Danny said while he rub his neck with his hand, "I just want to know more about you? You can ask any questions about me"

"Alright.. I thought you were with the goth chick?" Ember said, she could still remember the love spell she place on the dipstick, he was madly in love with the goth chick and she didn't mind it too much.

"It's very complicated right now… I don't think it's going to work out with Sam," Danny said. Ember felt a bit relieved, the dipstick wasn't with the goth chick…. But why? She shouldn't care about him…. So why?

"You have no luck with women" Ember said, Danny looked at her and grin at her, he chuckled slightly.

"How old are you? " Danny asked

"Seventeen" Ember said

"For how long?" Danny asked, Ember didn't say anything and simply took a moment to answer the question.

"For almost four years" Ember said in a soft whisperer, "I would have been 21 last week"

"Ember…. If you don't mind me asking….. But how did you die?" Danny asked, hoping he didn't just cause his own death. Ember simply sigh, she looked away for a moment before she looked back at the dipstick.

"A house fire" Ember said

"What's wrong with me? Why am I being so nice to him? Why am I telling him this?" Ember nervously rub her hands together, she took a deep breath before she looked back at Danny.

"You don't have to tell me," Danny said, feeling guilty for asking such a sensitive question.

"No it's alright…. it's kind of silly… I wasn't a popular girl in high school, and I had big dreams… I wanted to become a famous singer" Ember said. Danny smiled slightly, he was happy Ember was able to accomplish her dream, but he was a bit sadden she could only accomplish this in death. " I didn't have any friends, and I've never dated a boy before. But one day everything changed, Blake Lancer…." Ember said recalling her last days alive as if it was yesterday.

"Lancer?!" Danny eyebrow raised slightly, was it possible that both Lancer's were related?

Several years ago

"Susan right?" Blake asked. Ember immediately blushed, she pushed her brown hair behind her ear, she couldn't believe Blake was talking to her…. The most popular boy in school, the captain of the football team… was talking to her?!

"It's..it's Ember…. Ember McLain…" Ember whispered with her blue eyes trying to avoid Blake's green, "Hey…."

"Sure whatever! Do you want to go out?" Blake asked as he leaned against the locker, whipping his light brown hair to the side.

"R… Really….?" Ember asked in utter shock, "Bu…buy why me?"

"It doesn't matter why, so are you in or not?" Blake asked. Ember nod her head, "Saturday night at the movies, 7 got it."

"Alright…" Ember said, Blake pushed some of his hair back with his hand and simply left without saying a word.

Present

"I was so excited… My very first date… I pick my best clothes, I did my makeup and I went to the theatre" Ember said as she brought her knees closer to her chest with her arms wrap around them.

"Did he show up for your date?" Danny asked in a soft voice.

"I arrived at 7 and I waited… And waited… And waited…." Ember said as tears started to form in her eyes. Ember had forgotten this pain, the pain of rejection, and she was going through all of this pain because of Danny? Why was she making herself suffer for him?

Past

"He's just running late….. he's just running late…." Ember mumbled. Ember looked back at the theatre, the movie had ended nine hours ago and a thunder storm has rolled in. Ember simply stood in the rain, her makeup ruined, and her heart broken.

"He's not coming…." A voice said

"He's just running late…." Ember said with tears following down her cheeks

"Don't be a fool! Blake played you, he was never going to show up!"

"I'm so stupid!" Ember shouted. Ember simply burst into tears, she covered her eyes with her hands and ran home, feeling like a complete fool and heart broken.

Present

"When I returned home the sun was already rising, I simply went to my bedroom and when I awoke….. I was in the Ghost Zone." Ember said as she whip some tears away, "Clockwork found me and he explained what happened"

"Ember…." Danny mumbled while he sadly look at her.

"He said… I died in a house fire… I was so tried…" Ember said as she cried in her hands, feeling the pain she thought she had forgotten Years ago.

"Ember…. I'm so sorry" Danny said as he got up from his chair.

"I asked Clockwork how… How the fire started… But he simply told me it mysteriously happened" Ember said. Ember suddenly felt two arms wrap around her, "Danny…." Ember raised her head slightly, Danny was sitting down next to her with his arms wrap around her.

"I never knew…. You suffered so much" Danny whispered while gently place his hand on her flaming hair. Danny was surprised her flaming hair wasn't hot, Ember's hair was soft and warm to the touch, he never expected Ember's infamous flaming hair would be this soft and warm.

"Danny… Why are you being so kind to me… Why?" Ember asked through her tears

"Ember…. I don't know why…. But I want to be here with you" Danny said in a soft voice. Danny tightening his arms around her, he wanted to take all of Ember's pain away, he didn't want her to suffer any longer.

"Why am I doing this…. No I know why…." Danny looked down at Ember and gently whip some of her tears away, he gave her a small smile.

"Ember…. I didn't mean to cause you this pain" Danny said

"He's so kind to me…. No one has ever been this kind…." Ember looked away from his gaze, she simply leaned against Danny's chest and listened to his heart beat.

"Ember?" Danny asked

"Just be quiet, Dipstick" Ember said while she closed her eyes, listening to the gentle sound of Danny's heart "Just stay like this…. Alright?"

"Alright… Has long as you want" Danny said with a smile on his face.
