I don't own Danny Phantom or any of the characters in this. They are doing a life sentence to their original creators without the chance of parole. Enjoy part 6 of How I met my dancing flame.

Bertrand's realm 2 hours after the events of chapter 5

"He did what to you?" Bertrand said in shock.

"I told you he kick me and my girlfriend's asses! Normally the three of us could take on that metal idiot, but none of our attacks worked on him. If it wasn't for some unlikely help none of us would be in… ouch stupid won't take no for an answer Skulker!" Penelope hissed as she rubbed the spot where clothes lined her.

"Ok with Ember I could understand seeing as she did insult him and reject him but…" Bertrand never got the chance to finish his sentence as Penelope extremely pissed off slugged Bertrand in the face causing the midget shape shifter to go flying into a wall before turning into his goop form upon impact.

Bertrand didn't get a second to even scrape himself off the wall as Penelope was on him like white on rice holding him by his throat ignoring the slimy feeling on her right hand.

"You can understand him attacking my girlfriend? Who's side are you on anyways you sniveling worm? He came to Ember's realm banging on her door uninvited and then…"

"Well what did she expect? She not only ignored him, but called him a lousy hunter, and to top it all off admitted to saying she would rather spend time making out with our mortal enemy than dating him. I don't know about you but if you said that to me I would be equally pissed as well!" Bertrand said only for Penelope's grip to tighten.

Lucky for Bertrand Penelope's grip on him broke apart due to his body splattering before reforming and changing back into his human form. Unfortunately for Bertrand the moment he reformed Penelope instantly grabbed him by his neck and once again place the midget in an iron claw like grip. Looking into Penelope's blazing green eyes Bertrand even though he purposely didn't do so knew he struck a nerve with his misery loving girlfriend.

"So you spoke with that lousy piece of trash and you didn't do anything to him to avenge me? You must really have a desire for me to kick your ass for even…"

"He mentioned that to me but I didn't know what he did to you!" Bertrand explained hoping to douse the flame that was Penelope's temper. "I know you are pissed off, but you are being completely irrational now!"

Before Penelope could even bring up a response both of them heard a knock at his front door causing her to release him from her grip. Upon his release Bertrand wanting to put some distance between him and his pissed off girlfriend used said reason as an excuse. Upon opening the door Bertrand did everything in his power not to throw up the contents of his stomach. This was due to the person at the door looking as if they been through hell and back. Ectoplasm was leaking out of several cuts in different places on his body, not to mention he had a dislocated shoulder which completely surprised the midget shape shifter completely.

"God Johnny why do you look like you went 10 rounds with Skulker and lost?" Bertrand asked for lack of better words.

"Funny you should… say that because… that is exactly… what happened. When I… heard what… he did to kitty… I was pissed off. So I tried to… kick his ass… only to get my… unlucky butt kicked." Johnny explained before puking up ectoplasm.

"You idiot, why did you even try to take him on? You know between you, me and him he is far superior to us in all areas! If it were me I wouldn't have even attempted to mess with him knowing I would get my ass handed to me." Bertrand explained completely unaware that a certain red headed woman walked towards the door.

"I know you... don't like me... Spectra but remember… I already got… my ass kicked… by Skulker…" Johnny explained still trying to hold himself up.

"Don't worry your unlucky butt Johnny, even if you failed at least you tried to avenge Kitty which is more than what I can say for my worthless ex-boyfriend over here." Penelope explained.

"But Penelope baby why? You know that if I fought him I would lose so what is the point in trying?" Bertrand asked earning a hard punch to his face.

Wiping the ectoplasm off of her fist Penelope turned to the injured biker ghost and for the first time since she met him gave him a genuine smile.

"Johnny I will put in a good word for you so you can at least try to patch things up with Kitty. If you are lucky she might even take you back seeing as we both know she loves it when the men she likes/loves fight for her." Penelope explained before turning to the broken Bertrand. "As for why I am leaving you the answer is simple. Your actions today made me realize that having a boyfriend who is sniveling pathetic excuse of a man isn't going to cut it anymore. The only real reason I stayed with you for so long was because you worshiped me and has a masochist streak." Penelope said as she grabbed the very few things she had of hers and flew off to her realm.

"Dude I wouldn't bother… chasing after her… if I were you. She doesn't want… you anymore, and… to be honest… unless you truly… are a masochist… you are better… off without…" Johnny never got the chance to finish off his sentence as he collapsed due to major ectoplasm loss.

Ember's realm this exact moment

Ember injuries finally subsided due to the nonstop chanting the clones of her boyfriend did. However, even without any physical injuries Ember purposely stayed where she was. This was due to her being in the lap of her half ghost boyfriend and while still hurt to a degree was enjoying being close to her boyfriend. However, upon Danny's clones stopping the chant Ember instantly opened her eyes and sighed.

"What happened to the chanting your copies was doing? You know I love it when I have my lover chants my name." Ember asked with a tinge of disappointment.

"They have been chanting for the past 2 hours straight Ember but the reason for them stopping was due to their ectoplasmic energy running out. The clone I have back at home was given more then these were that clone was made 5 hours ago and according to my watch..." Danny stopped mid sentence a migraine overtook the young half ghost teen.

"What is the matter baby pop? Do you need some medicine for that headache of yours?" Ember asked concerned.

"No I just got a massive case of information overload from the clone I made. It is also all the more reason why I need to go back now. I don't have the energy to make another clone for now, and you know what will happen if 'I' am not in my room." Danny replied only for Ember to grab his hand.

"At least allow me to take back there. I can get you there in an instant, while it would take you hours that you possibly don't have to get there. Oh and Baby pop?"

"Yes my Dancing flame?"

"When we are healed fully you, me, Kitty, and Penny are going out for a night of fun as I originally planned for us." Ember said before she captured his lips with her own before teleporting in a whirlwind of flames.

Fenton works after school

"Sam are you sure this is a good idea? We both know he is under punishment, and for all we know he might still be pissed off at you for what you said." Tucker said voicing his concern.

"Noted, but I am not going to stop that from letting him know why I said what I said. But besides that Mr. Lancer told us to deliver his assignments so he wouldn't fall behind in his studies. So even if under punishment we have a totally valid excuse to see him while suspended." Sam explained to her completely and total opposite. "Besides we both know something is up with Danny that isn't good and we need to find out what it is before it is too late."

Taking out a bottle of mineral water Sam guzzled down the clear thirst quenching liquid until the contents were completely drained. Tossing the now empty bottle into the neared blue recycling bin Sam raised her hand and with a heavy fist knocked on the door. Sam and Tucker waited for a total of 2 minutes before the door opened revealing a transmission fluid covered Jack Fenton looking down at the two teens before narrowing her eyes.

"Mr. Fenton we know Danny is in trouble, but we came here to give him his homework for the day." Tucker explained to the older Fenton male. "Mr. Lancer and the other teachers gave us the responsibility of getting Danny his homework assignments seeing as he knew we were his friends. Now normally I would just hand them to you but seeing as you are covered in fluid I think it would be best if we gave him the homework. You know so none of that stuff gets on the papers." Tucker finished causing the older Fenton to sigh.

"You have a point Tucker so I will allow Danny to have your company for 5 minutes so he can get his assignments."

Tucker walked into the building without any resistance, however when it was Sam's turn to go in Mr. Fenton blocked her path.

"You however are no longer allowed to associate with my son or even welcome here. While I overlooked it before your behavior is starting to rub off on Danny and not in a good way. So I would advise you to hand over whatever assignments you have to Tucker and head home. I will also be calling both Mr. Lancer and your parent letting them know that you are no longer welcome here." Mr. Fenton replied before Tucker sigh.

"Sam hand me the rest of his assignments. I will make sure he receives everything he needs." Tucker said while finishing with a wink that was missed by the older Fenton.

Knowing how stubborn the Fenton family was when it came to their rules Sam reluctantly gave up the papers to her best friend before walking down the steps not at all liking what she just learned.

Danny's bedroom this exact moment

"You really look like slag baby pop. Hopefully this will make you feel better." Ember replied before once again kissing Danny lips.

Even though he was preoccupied with his girlfriend to notice, Ember's flaming mane rose out of pure pleasure due to their lip lock. Feeling a little more adventurous Danny place his hands on Embers waist before using what he had to pull her onto his lap. Enjoying her new favorite chair Ember literally and figuratively feeling the heat wrapped her arms around his neck while beginning to grind her hips against his.

Ember knew at the moment she what she was doing right now if could be classified as beyond dangerous. If they were caught by anyone be it any of her enemies or Danny's friends it would cause major problems for both of them. Especially if Skulker decided to pay Danny a visit while in his current condition. However, even with the danger of said situation the thrill that came with it what she was doing squashed any latent thoughts.

'Why should I be afraid of the dipstick family, friends, or enemies? If they were to find out I would still see Danny regardless of whether they approve or not and if they don't like it too bad for them. I know he isn't feeling as energetic but the just the thought of how dangerously we are existing is such a turn on.' Ember thought as she continued her actions.

Unfortunately for Ember, her plans came to a crashing halt when he not only heard knocking on the other side of the door, but the voice of Danny's male best friend Tucker.

"Dude open the door, I need to hand you your homework as well as talk to you about something important." Tucker explained knocking on the door.

Seeing her boyfriend's distort face Ember placed her hand on his face while giving him a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry baby pop, we can continue this some other time and trust me there will be a next time." Ember said just before vanished in a whirlwind of flames.

Not having anything else to do Danny opened the door revealing his best male friend with a stack of papers.

"Mr. Lancer and the other teachers not wanting you to fall behind so he told me and Sam to bring them over." Tucker asked before his cell phone went off.

Seeing that it was Sam who was calling Tucker was about to pick up the phone when he heard Jack's voice call him.

"Tucker your 5 minutes are up, so you need to leave. Danny is still under punishment for fighting and disrespecting authority and won't be allowed company for the next month." Jack explained before clicking the phone and handing it to Danny.

"I have a spare at home besides you really need to take this call seeing as Sam has something she wants to tell you." Tucker replied loud enough for Danny and Sam to hear but no one else.

"If it is about earlier today I already know about the 'real' reason Sam went off on me. Now take this with you unless you want to get barred from coming here as well." Danny explained remembering his clone's conversation with Jazz before hanging up the phone and handing it to Tucker.

"Fine we will see you in…"

"TUCKER IF YOU DON'T COME DOWNSTAIRS THIS INSTANT…"

"Coming Mr. Fenton I was just explaining the trickier assignments to him." Tucker replied before leaving walking out of the young halfa's room.

Stage out.
