AN: Yo! It only took a week and not 10 days this time! By the way, the last chapter never sent out an alert when I uploaded over the previous message. PLEASE go read Chapter 10 BEFORE reading this chapter!

After telling my family about Dark Dan and the emotional hug session afterwards, we all went off to bed. I woke up around ten o'clock the next morning to see Tucker, Sam and Amber hanging out in my room with Amber tuning and strumming a tune on her guitar.
"I know y'all are my best friends and all but really guys? Watching me sleep is a new low, even for you Tucker," I mumble as I sit up, stretching. I laugh as they all jump and look towards me. "So what's the plan for today? Besides letting me sleep in," I ask as I stand up and give Tuck, Sam and Amber a fist bump.
"Well, we were all talking and how about a dinner date at a nice restaurant in town? I can get reservations easily since all four of us are famous. Afterwards we can go watch one of the new films in the theater and call it a night to get ready for semesters next week," Sam tells me as I get some nicer than usual clothes out to go shower and change.
"As long as everyone else agrees I think that sounds pretty good," I give my agreement as I walk out my door and turn down the hall to the bathroom and hear giggling behind me. I sigh and turn intangible as I phase back into my room to see Amber transform into her ghost-half with a shit-eating grin and a mischievous look in her eye. Yup, thought that was her.
"Hey Em, no peeking. I've never peaked on you and I'd appreciate the same courtesy, I think sometimes you forget I have the same abilities," I say as I become visible, staring at her as she transforms back.
"Dammit Dipstick, you're no fun," She pouts at me as I leave again to take a shower.
….
After finishing up in the shower I come out in tan slacks, dress shoes and a loose red polo. I walk into my room to see Tucker there by himself dressed up as well too. "Where'd the girls get off to? They go to Em's room to get ready?" I ask Tuck as I see he is in the same outfit I'm in except with a purple polo instead.
"Yeah, Sam told me to wait here after changing. I got a feeling we are going to match our dates," Tuck says as we surf the web searching for anything interesting while we wait.
"Damn right we are matching!" Amber says as I turn around and immediately lose all brain function. Amber and Sam are both wearing crop-tops that match the colors of Tucker and I, but after that, the styles are all their own. Amber has a black, open faced jacket with ripped skinny jeans and her ghostly rocker boots while Sam has her plaid skirt, combat boots, and a dark gray overcoat left opened.
"So how do we look boys?" Amber asks, while high-fiving with Sam. "Y'all look drop dead fucking gorgeous. I'm pretty sure if I wasn't a Halfa already I'd become one now!" I jokingly quip as I finally gather my wits. I look back at Tucker who is still trying to pick up his jaw from the floor, "Obviously Tuck here agrees, he's just not as used to seeing two beauties who actually tolerate his ass." We all chuckle as Tucker finally comes out of it and rushes to hug Sam.
"Holy fuck you look awesome!" Tuck exclaims, letting go of Sam. "Glad to know we can make our special people speechless, you two clean up nicely as well," Sam remarks, scanning us.
"Yeah, who knew the Dipstick could actually clean up for once? And if he's this shocked by this outfit, he'd hate to see some of the other outfits I have," Amber smirks and winks at me, causing me to blush.
"Anyway want to watch some tv to kill time till dinner?" I ask, deliberately changing the subject. I see nods from everyone as we all head downstairs, each of us with interlocked arms with our respective dates.
…
As the time rolls around to head to the restaurant we hear a car pull up out front and honk twice. "Sam, did you hire a limo?" I ask her, knowing her to show off at times. "Maybe I did, maybe it's my family's personal limo that they let me borrow for tonight," She cheekily replies. I chuckle at her answer as we file out of the house and into the limo, girls first of course. We all chat quietly on the way until we arrive at the most expensive place in town, Amity Cuisine.
"Uh Sam? I know I make a lot and so does Tuck but we don't really have this kind of cash laying around," I trail off as I see her share a look at Amber and then see them both smirk. Oh shit.
"Well you see, Mister "I am the hero of the world" Phantom, after I called for availability and told them a Manson, the mayor, the hero of the world and the best ghost rocker ever wanted to make a reservation, they immediately said that the restaurant would be closed for us as a private party and the meals would be on the house. The only stipulation was they wanted you to talk to the press after we eat and describe the food," Sam informs me as I blush at my stupidity.
"Oh, right. Cool, I can give an interview I guess. Just don't expect me to go ghost or answer sexual questions about the date. Let's head inside," I offer as I open the door for my friends, following Tucker inside after the ladies. Tuck and I pull the chairs out for everyone and sit across from our dates. We get our orders placed and as we are waiting, we sit there awkwardly. Oh great, first double date, hell pretty much first date ever and it's awkward as fuck.
"So Em, how's the practice going for the concert? Manage to find who you wanted for a special?" I ask her, breaking the silence. She glances up and I see a brief flash of gratitude before her normal smirk takes its place, "Sure did Babypop! It's going swell, going to be ready for the graduation party next month!"
"Awesome! I've got everything on my end set up too, just need to drop the news on the press, which I can also do tonight now that I think about it!" I realize, thinking that the press after this might not have been all bad after all! The food finally arrives and holy shit, it is amazing. I now understand why this is the most expensive and best place in town. We finally have broken the awkward moment and talk idly while we eat our delicious steaks and pastas. After what seems to be not long at all, we all stare down at our empty plates and congratulate the chefs and wait-staff for the excellent food and service. We all leave generous tips anyways, and proceed to head to the exits to deal with the interview. I step outside last to see a podium set up with cameras for all sorts of different news channels. I take a deep breath and feel someone slide their hand into mine. I glance to my left and see that it was Amber who is smiling at me comfortingly. I smile back, squeeze her hand and step forward to the podium.
"Uh, hey everyone! I just want to say three things! One, Amity Cuisine is by far the best food I have ever had, dead or alive! The second topic is quite entertaining for everyone! I along with the government of Amity Park have green lit a graduation celebration for the current Seniors of Amity High! Of course, the lovely Ember McLain will be performing along with My Chemical Romance and a special ghostly guest that has offered to help out Ember! The third and final announcement is that we are currently heading to the perfect finish of the night, the movies! Goodnight everyone!" I finish my little speech as we all head to the limo with Ember and I making all four of us invisible until we are seated in the limo.
"Phew! I thought they were about to jump the stage! What's the movie we are going to see Sam? You never did say," I question her as we all relax. "Well, you know how Marvel Studios is starting their cinematic universe next month with Iron Man? I uh, got us a private showing!" She reveals causing Ember, Tucker and I to jump and shout with glee.
"Oh hell yeah Sam! This is going to be fucking awesome!" Tuck exclaims as he swipes her up and kisses her. I smirk at his antics and put my arm over Amber's shoulders as we share knowing glances. She looks at my arm, chuckles and snuggles in. Damn, who knew the big bad rocker was such a softy, it's cute. I reflect to myself, smiling softly. We make it to the theater, get out of the limo, and grab popcorn, candy and drinks to settle down to watch the start of, we didn't know it at the time, one of the best cinematic universes in history. During the movie, everyone sits in different areas of the theater and snuggle up with our dates. After the film, we all head out on our separate ways home, which means Em and I took to the skies while Tuck and Sam walked together. We make it to the front steps and look at each other.
"I had an awesome night with you Em, I don't think I could even picture a date as awesome as that with anyone else," I tell her honestly as I grab her hand. She smiles at me and retorts, "Well you know what'll make it perfect?"
"What can make tonight any better?" My dumbass asks, confused. She sighs in exasperation.
"This will, Dipstick!" She smarts off as she leans in and kisses me. OH HOLY FUCK YES! I scream in my head as I feel both of us melt into the kiss. We pull away and rest our foreheads together, smiling. "Damn Em, that was amazing. Too bad we still need to breathe," I chuckle as we head inside. I kiss her again as we go upstairs to head to bed.
"Hey Em? Will you make me the happiest Halfa and become my girlfriend?" I ask her while holding her around the waist in the hallway. "After that kiss? Hell yeah Babypop, just make sure you keep time for me in that busy hero schedule," she jokes. I laugh and swing her around.
I give her one more long, searing kiss before setting her down and letting her go. "Goodnight Ember," I say, smiling sweetly. "Goodnight Danny," she smiles as we shut our respective doors and collapse on our beds, drifting off to sleep while thinking of the kiss and the events of the night.
AN:I'm setting this story in late April to make the dates add up correctly for this chapter to make sense. Fun Fact: It is considered "Gentlemanly" to walk on the street side of the sidewalk when walking with any girl if you are a guy. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please review! Thank you for all of the views, follows and favorites even if this story is (personal opinion incoming!) not the greatest out there! See you next chapter!
