Jason went back to his human form and ran over to Rosie, kneeling down by her side and holding her in his arms. "Rosie…" He said, scared. Rosie just lied there, in Jason's arms, motionless and silent. Danny went back to his human form himself and you see him in a wheelchair now. Ember wheeled him over to Rosie and Jason and locked it in place. She kneeled down next to Rosie and felt a tear run down her face. Danny felt one go down his cheek too, but his face was in distress. The only thing that came to his mind was: "CLOCKWORK!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. But Clockwork never showed up. "Rosie, can you hear me?" Jason asked, being very quiet. Rosie didn't respond. Her skin was as pale as her ghost alter ego. Everyone around her thought right away, that she was dead. But boy, were they going to be surprised.
Rosie was in a neon white room, as Rosie Phantom (not Rosie Ghost. Rosie Ghost has hot pink on her suit, and Rosie Phantom has white on her suit). She was scared and yet wishing she could stay there forever. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Rosie called out. No answer, just footsteps behind her. Rosie turned around and saw a young Clockwork standing there. "Who are…?" Rosie was about to ask when she recognized the scar on the guy's completely red left eye. "…Clockwork." She said. Rosie met Clockwork when she was just a baby, and when she 5 to 10 years old, Clockwork baby-sat her for Sam and Danny. They became friends after that.
"Hello Miss Fenton. It's been too long." He said. "Yeah, it has. What is this place?" She asked, hoping he knew. "This is where half-ghosts come to see if they are worth dying at the age they are. You're father was here at one point of his life." Clockwork explained. "Really?" She asked. She then remembered her mom and dad, and her friends, and boyfriend. She didn't want to die just yet, but knew that, her time was up. "Is my time up, Clockwork?" She asked, trying to hold back her tears. Clockwork noticed her depression and knew that she was didn't want to leave her family just yet.
He smiled. "I'm afraid so, my dear." He answered. Rosie couldn't hold a tear back after hearing that. She let slip out from the corner of her eye and onto her hand, making her necklace glow. "Huh?" She looked at her necklace, then, saw that the white on her suit was changing to hot pink again, just like it did before she collapsed. "What the hell…?" She said as she looked at her hot pink mini skirt and hot pink high-heeled boots. She looked at her hot pink glove next on her left hand and the hot pink where the white was on her mid-drift area. The two black musical notes where still where they were before, but the belt was now hot pink too. Her hair was hot pink as well. Her eyes were still a neon green color and glowing.
"What just happened, Clockwork?" Rosie asked, confused. "Rosie Ghost, that is your alter ghost ego's new name. You are the next generation of half-ghost, half-human…you are more powerful than your father." Clockwork explained. Rosie looked at Clockwork, shocked. "I turned into Rosie Ghost for my last blow on Vlad just minutes ago." Rosie responded. Clockwork smiled again, his old face looking into Rosie's. "My dear child; go back, and continue to sing, and…live with no heart problem, anymore." He said as he touched her necklace and closed his eyes. Rosie felt a new power…no…a new HEART beating inside of her. She knew right then and there, she was going to be around for a long, long time.
Just then, she heard one single word, or in this case, name being called from outside of this dream. "CLOCKWORK!" Danny yelled. To Rosie, it sounded muffled. Clockwork smiled once last time and told Rosie, "Awake, my child! Your family, friends, and boyfriend need you." Rosie looked at Clockwork again, with confusion written on her face. Just then, a bright white light surrounded Rosie, and when it disappeared, Rosie was gone, leaving Clockwork in the neon white room, alone.
Jason kept holding Rosie in his arms, only feeling the coldness of her own arms. Sam had run out and was now crying her eyes out into Danny's chest. Clockwork, why won't you answer my call? Danny thought. But, somehow he knew that he wouldn't get a second chance with his daughter's life again.
Jason just let more tears fall down…even Ember, who had changed back into Emma was crying her eyes out (I know I lied. Ember said that Emma was home, but somehow, Ember merged with Emma one day and now, Emma is a half-ghost too). "Rosie, come back…" Jason said, through sobs. "Jason…Jason…Jason…" A voice sang, echoing through the breeze. Jason's eyes grew wide at the voice. "That's Rosie's voice!" He yelled.
Just then, he felt Rosie's skin go warm, and heard a cough come from her lips. He quickly turned his gaze back at Rosie, and waited. Sam heard it and looked back at her daughter's body, and waited with hope. Danny waited too, but was growing impatient as Rosie never woke up. Emma was growing impatient herself. "Rosie…" Jason said, hope in his voice. Another cough came from her lips and…her eyes fluttered open. She saw her mom and dad, along with her best friend, and her NOW boyfriend, all by her side. "What's going on here?" She asked, with an already knowing what it was that was going on grin. Jason smiled excitedly as he hugged her, tight. Rosie hugged him back with the same tight embrace. "I thought you were dead!" He said. "I was…but I'm not now." She said, smiling. She let him go and he helped her stand up. "Rosie!" Sam yelled as she hugged her daughter. Rosie hugged her mom right back. "Mom…" She said.
She saw her dad, with tears of joy in his eyes. She let go of her mom and walked over to Danny. She kneeled down in front of him and smiled at him. "Hey dad…" She said. "Rosie…" Danny said as he hugged her with one arm. Rosie hugged him back and then let him go. "I saw Clockwork…in my dream. He brought me back." She whispered into her dad's ear. Danny's smile went bigger when he realized that Clockwork did answer his call. Thank you, Clockwork. I owe you one. He thought. "You know you do…" Clockwork echoed in Danny's head.
Just then, Rosie's ghost sense went off, but it was green like it normally was, it was hot pink, but Emma thought it was crimson red, and got scared. "Rosie, your heart…!" Emma yelled. Rosie giggled at Emma's worried expression and just looked at everyone. "My heart problem…I don't have it anymore. Clockwork gave me more than just a second chance at life." She explained. Danny's eyes went wide. "He took away your heart problem?" He asked. "Yeah. He gave me a new heart." Rosie said back to her father. Danny's wide eyes went to excited eyes and he smiled. "Well, I'm glad I won't have to worry about your heart giving out on you while we're in school." Jason said as he put a hand on Rosie's shoulder. Rosie looked at Jason and smiled.
After a while, her ghost sense went off again, in hot pink and Jason's green ghost sense went off too this time. Danny's did too, but somehow, now he was in too much pain to fight with Rosie and Jason, including Emma. "Sorry, guys, Danny Phantom won't join this fight." Danny said, wincing in pain. "Don't worry about it, dad. Besides, Rosie Phantom…" Rosie began, but stopped when she realized she said 'Rosie Phantom'. "DOH…I mean…" She began to finish when, "Well, well, if it isn't little miss Rosie Fenton…" A familiar voice rang through the area. Danny gasped, along with Sam and Rosie. Right in front of Rosie, appeared Rosella McLain, Ember's cousin. "Long time no see…" Rosella said. Rosie was shocked, but then, mad with rage. "Rosella…I should have known it was you." Rosie said. "Well, now you know. So, turn into Rosie Phantom and let get this fight off the ground." Rosella added. "With pleasure. Oh, and by the way, my ghost form is no long Rosie Phantom…" Rosie replied, as she snapped her fingers. Two neon white rings appeared around her waist and one traveled up her body while the other traveled down, revealing Rosie's new ghost form. Hot pink and black with a hot pink emblem R on the black. Her hair a hot pink and her eyes…they were still neon green.
Rosella was shocked at this and so was everyone else. "…my ghost form's name is now…Rosie Ghost." Rosie finished as she shot hot pink ectoplasm with black musical notes in it at Rosella, hitting her head on. Then, Rosie sang one high note on 'ah', making Rosella go deaf and sucked her up into the Fenton Thermos. Rosie turned around as she turned back into Rosie Fenton and giggled. "Told you I got more than just a second chance at life and a new heart." She said, trying real hard not to laugh at Danny's reaction. His jaw was practically in his lap.
At the Nasty-Burger (McDonalds), Rosie was on stage; holding a black electric guitar with hot pink flames on it, and was in her human form. She didn't care if people put her voice and Rosie Phantom…I mean, Rosie Ghost's voice together anymore. Actually, she had a surprise for the end of her performance. It has been a month since the battle with Vlad. Danny's wounds were all healed up and his casts on his left leg and arm were off. Emma found a talent of her own. She became a background singer for Rosie's gigs. Sam started being a little over protective of Rosie. But can you blame her? Sure, Rosie almost died, but she came back (LOL)! And Jason…he found a better purpose for his ghost powers. He was now known as Rosie Ghost's partner in saving the world with the new name of…Phantom.
"Alright, please welcome…Rosie Fenton!" The manager announced. Everyone clapped as Rosie stepped up to the microphone after the manager ran off the stage. Rosie took a deep breathe and Emma began to play the piano.
(SONG: "If everyone cared"—Nickelback) (Pretend it's a girl singing, okay?)
Rosie began playing her guitar and then she began to sing.
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky,
Confusing stars, for satellites,
I never dreamed, you'd be mine,
But here we are; we're here tonight…
Singing, Amen, I'm-I am alive (x2)
If everyone cared, and nobody cried,
If everyone loved, and nobody lied,
If everyone shared, and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died.
I'm singing…
Amen I (x2), I am alive. (x2)
And in the air, the fireflies,
Our only light, in paradise,
We'll show the ghosts, they were wrong,
And teach them all, to sing along…
Singing, Amen, I'm-I am alive (x2)
If everyone cared, and nobody cried,
If everyone loved, and nobody lied,
If everyone shared, and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died. (x2)
Rosie played her guitar still as two neon white rings appeared around her waist, traveling up and down her body, leaving Rosie Ghost, on the stage.
And as we lie, beneath the stars,
We realize, how small we are,
If they could love, like you and me,
Imagine what, this world could be…
If everyone cared, and nobody cried,
If everyone loved, and nobody lied,
If everyone shared, and swallowed their pride,
Then we'd see the day, when nobody died. (x2)
We'd see the day (x2) when nobody died! (x2)
We'd see the day, when nobody died!
(End of song)
When the song was over, everyone went berserk. Rosie just smiled excitedly. She saw the little girl, Amber with her mom. Amber mouthed to Rosie, 'Thank you, Miss Ghost.' And turned around with her mother, fading from the area. Rosie's smiled to shocked, but smiling at the same time. She was a ghost! No wonder my ghost sense wanted go off when she was around! She thought. Jason was cheering and applauding from the back of the crowd. He was so proud of his girlfriend.
"Rosie, that was awesome!" Emma said as she ran up to Rosie's spot. Rosie looked at Emma as she went back to human form. "Thanks…Ember." Rosie whispered. Emma smiled slightly. "How'd you find out?" She asked (btw, her skin is black again). "When I woke up, I saw you instead of Ember over my body. I had a feeling that you were a half-a too." Rosie explained. Emma just smiled some more and didn't care if Rosie knew her secret. She knew Rosie's secret, so, it's only fair for Rosie to know her secret.
Out at the park late that night, Rosie and Jason were walking around the lake, holding hands. "So, this is going to be weird for your football fellows, huh?" Rosie asked. "Actually, I quit football." Jason announced. Rosie looked shocked. "Why?" She asked, in disbelief. "Because of my ghost powers. I don't want to have to be focused on a big game when my ghost sense goes off." Jason explained. Rosie was about to encourage him to rejoin the football team when he added, "and besides, if I don't do football, that means more time with my girl." He winked at Rosie, making her blush. "Oh Jason…" She said. They both stopped walking and Jason pulled her close. He put one hand on the back of her neck and leaned in. Rosie leaned in as well and they both kissed each other on the lips. Rosie put her arms around his neck and Jason put his arms around her waist when he moved his hand away from behind her neck. He deepened the kiss. Looks like the lives of the half-a's were going to be normal…hopefully it'll stay that way.
THE END!
