I do not own Danny Phantom or any of the characters. They are doing a life sentence to their original owners without the chance of parole. Enjoy chapter 12 of How I met my Dancing Flame.

Spectra's realm

Spectra couldn't help but smile as she looked herself over in the mirror for a 4th time. Sure she was vain, but in her option when you looked as good as her vanity was more than welcome. She was currently in her flawless 3rd form wearing her black plants with green ectoplasmic flame boots attached, and a matching black shirt with ectoplasmic green outlines and pink earrings. (AN: The same outfit she had on when this form was first created in the canon.)

'God I am just gorgeous! When I get to that party those guys won't know what hit them! Hopefully there will be some decent ones there. But if not I can always stick with the threesomes Ember invited me to.' Spectra thought to herself as she once again looked over her outfit to make sure nothing was out of place.

No sooner did Spectra look herself over for a 5th time did she hear a knock on her realm door. Assuming that it was Ember, Kitty, or possibly both Spectra left the mirrors, and walked towards her door. However, upon opening her realm door and seeing who was at the door her mood went instantly sour.

"Why are you here Bertrand? I gave you all your stuff 13 weeks ago?" Spectra asked not even trying to hide her disdain.

It was at this moment that Bertrand got down on his hands and knees and began groveling at her feet much to her amusement.

"Penelope baby I am sorry for what I said that day, and I want you to know if I had to do it all over again I would…"

"Too little too late worm! Just like Ember can do a whole lot worse than her current boyfriend, I can do a whole lot better than you. Hell at least Johnny despite being the biggest womanizer I know actually put himself on the line to avenge Kitty's honor! I refuse to be with someone who won't even try!" Spectra replied only for Bertrand to grab her leg.

"Please forgive me Penelope! I made a mistake, and if you forgive me I promise it will never happen again! Hell if it is that important to you I would stand up to even the ghost king himself if it meant getting you back!" Bertrand pleaded.

Spectra's only response to this was to make her leg intangible, grab Bertrand by the throat, and brought him within inches of her face. Bertrand thinking, she had forgiven him attempted to kiss her only for Spectra to scrunch her face in disgust before kneeing her ex as hard as she could in the balls causing him to reach a very high note due to pain.

"We have been done for the past 13 weeks, and we are going to stay done for the rest of eternity! Now get out of my sight before I have Kitty banish you for good! Now if you excuse me I have…"

"Penny I thought you were going out with me, Kitty, and Johnny to the rave not playing Kissy face with the worm who is so spineless that he won't even stand up for his woman." Ember replied with amusement.

Spectra seeing that her girlfriends have arrived gained a very sadistic smile on her face much to Bertrand's dismay.

"Kitty would you be a dear and send Bertrand to the same place you sent Skulker after he got his ass kicked? He is being a real nuisance and…"

"Ok I get it I will leave you alone and… try and find someone else that can be 1/10 of the perfection that you are." Bertrand replied before becoming intangible and leaving. "But you are making a mistake Penelope! I am the best thing that could ever happen to you." Bertrand replied before flying off with a look of defeat on his face.

Satisfied that her ex was gone Spectra's frown vanished with the thought of the fun the trio would have.

"You going in your brand new you I see? I figured you would have gone as your normal self." Kitty replied only for Spectra to shake her head.

"While it doesn't grow old anymore, my original form still needs to feed on teen misery. But for the sake of your truce with your boyfriend I tend to avoid going into that form." Spectra explained. "Besides while both of my forms are just gorgeous my brand new self has a slight edge in my own opinion."

"I am surprised you aren't trying to convince Ember to let you in on the relationship she has with Danny. I know if were single and in your shoes that I…"

"Not going to happen! While I will admit the last six threesomes between me, Ember, and Danny were fun, I would rather have my own boyfriend. Plus, while I know Ember doesn't mind I think she would want Danny to herself again as well." Spectra added with a firm expression.

Kitty was about to say something when took a look at the watch on her hand and saw it was 6:45 PM.

"You already told Johnny where to meet us didn't you Kitty?"

"Yeah he knows to meet us on the outskirts of Amity where that abandoned warehouse is." Kitty explained.

"Then we need to get to lover's point to pick up baby pop. 'Oh and trust me baby pop if you think what happened at the last rave was fun just wait until you see what we have in store for you this time.'" Ember said thinking the last part before grabbing Kitty and Spectra and vanishing in a whirlwind of flames.

Unknown to them a certain invisible shape shifter who was supposed to have left heard all this and unable to hold it in anymore let out an angered scream with good reason. He not only got brushed aside, but she was she was sleeping with their mutual enemy at that. Knowing that Spectra's realm would go to lockdown in seconds Bertrand flew through the entrance door invisible and intangible just in time for the door to vanish signaling the lock down. With a smile on his face that would make Desiree proud the shape shifting ghost flew towards his realm like a man on a mission.

Lover's rock 10 minutes later

Ember, Spectra, and Kitty all appeared above the spot where Ember met Danny for their first date, and as expected the young halfa was waiting there wearing the same darker clothes that had Sam drooling the moment she first saw him. Ember was about to go and great him when Spectra tapped her on the shoulder shook her head.

'Don't do it yet Ember look who is spying on him on the hill.' Spectra whispered pointing over to where Tucker and the injured Sam were hiding a few feet away.

"Looks like Danny friends have developed a nac for stalking…"

"Which is why I made that duplication and for the record they aren't stalking me." Came a hushed voice causing Kitty to jump but not surprisingly Ember and Spectra to remain calm.

"He can…"

"Yes he can clone himself, now let's get out of here while the duplicate of baby pop has the peanut gallery occupied." Ember replied before she grabbed Danny and the others and vanished once again in a whirlwind of flames.

Clone Danny getting the signal that his original was safely with the others took a look at the full moon in the sky and couldn't help but smile before walking getting up and walking down the hill knowing that the Tucker and Sam were following him.

'I have about 33 percent of his overall ghost energy so as long as nothing unusual shows up I shouldn't have any issues. Original me, My Dancing Flame I hope the two of you have fun.' Clone Danny thought just before he continued walking down the hill towards his home.

A warehouse on the outskirts of Amity

"Well here we are, so are you ready to experience more of the dark side baby pop?" Ember asked already knowing the answer.

"I was born ready, now let's show these chumps why we are the best." Danny replied as he opened the door with Ember, Kitty, and Penelope entering before he went in.

Like the first time around Danny was once again introduced to an atmosphere filled with thick cigar and cigarette smoke, and extremely loud music playing in the background. Also like before there was a mass of about 70 – 100 people ranging from the ages of 14 – 25 dancing, smoking, drinking, and in extreme causes straight out having sex with one another.

As triple threat and Danny continued to walk through the party while triple threat didn't notice it Danny noticed something that if discovered would have wreaked the whole evening. This was due to him seeing a certain blond biker ghost speaking with another pretty female about who knows what.

The woman in general stood the height of 6 foot 1, had brown hair that was in a similar hairstyle of Jazz's, had baby blue eyes and full lips that cover in ruby red lipstick. She wore blue spaghetti strap dress that revealed a good deal of ample cleavage or hide the curves of her body, including her hourglass waist, equally ample backside, and long flawless legs.

'Though to be honest if I was still single myself I would be tempted to speak with her myself. But then again maybe there is a possible chance that he is just chatting with her and doing what Kitty claimed he normally would do.' Danny thought before he broke away from the group.

As he walked toward Johnny and the mystery girl he got a piece of the conversation the two were talking about.

"Wow Carly, it sounds like your boyfriend is real abusive asshole. I mean from what you have told me it sounds like you love him, and would never leave him yet he is so insecure that he tries to control everything you do. While I am not therapist like my girlfriend's best friend I would either get the guy help or if that doesn't work I would leave him." Johnny replied as he saw Danny coming up towards him.

"Hey Johnny, I saw you over at the bar, and I decided to let you know that your girlfriend, Ember, and Spectra are here." Danny replied getting the biker's attention.

Upon hearing the voice both Carly and Johnny turned towards the halfa, and upon the former seeing him a smile appeared on her face.

"Johnny it is obvious that this guy knows you and from the looks of him is kind of cute. Could you tell me who he is, and if he is single?" Carly asked.

'She things I am cute? Wow and older woman likes me.' Danny thought with a smile only to feel a pair of soft pale blue hands wrap around him in a very possessive manner.

"Sorry but baby pop is mine, so you can go and find someone else to start anew with!" Ember hissed in a very jealous and protective tone.

"My dancing flame you know you are the only one for me, so there is no need for you to get jealous. Besides we are here to have fun not fight if it isn't needed…"

Before Danny could finish his thought a very familiar song he heard at the last rave. However, this time around instead of having an effect of Ember it had an effect on Penelope.

"Oh my god, they are playing my song! Ember I hope you don't mind but I am going to be borrowing your boyfriend for this one. Danny try to keep up with me because it is time for us to show this these slobs how it is done!" Spectra replied before she went to the dance floor as the techno music began.

Oh my, gosh
Do you see that beautiful girl in the mirror
(she's so pretty)
Oh my gosh just look at her
She's so beautiful
(oh my gosh she's hot)
It's me

Feeling complete energized by her favorite song Spectra now in her own world proceeded to move her body to the beat in a very hypnotic way that as expected drew the attention of the masses both male and female.

Fortunately for the young halfa during the three months Sam was in the hospital he got familiar with several rave songs thanks to his girlfriend's recommendation list with one of them being the song Spectra was dancing to. However, the one thing Danny wasn't all that prepared for was Spectra coming into his personal space and doing several moves that Ember did to him the first time around.

Take a good look
Got you sprung got you hooked
If looks were a crime
I'd be the biggest crook
My sexy lips, dreamy eyes
Look into my eyes
I'll put you under my spell
I got you hypnotized
I'll make you my fool, my living foot stool
I'm beauty you're the beast
I'm the stallion you're the mule (really)
I'm looking so good from head to toe (so hot)
I see you looking at me, your pants tells me so

As the song continued to play and the two continued to dance in what appeared to be a borderline intimate manner Johnny who wasn't as familiar with the new closeness Spectra and Danny developed started fishing for answers.

"You Ember, since when have you been cool with Penny dancing with your boyfriend? You looked like you were ready to rip Carly's head off prior when she made her move." Johnny asked.

"Simple dipstick. I know Penny wouldn't try to steal my boyfriend from me, and besides even if she did I know baby pop is 100% loyal to me. But I must say his dance skills have improved since the last time we were on the dance floor. I can't wait until I get my time." Ember replied as the next verse of the song played.

"Johnny you shouldn't worry about what is going on with them but rather what is going on with us. Also if I learn that you..."

"Calm down Kitten, I am a changed man. You know I love you and would never cheat on you." Johnny replied as the song played in the background.

I see you looking
You looking, looking, looking at me
I know you're wishing
You're wishing wishing you could be me
Look in the mirror
And tell me tell me what do you see
So tell me, what do you see
So when you're looking at me

As Danny and Spectra continued to dance on the floor, Ember, Kitty, and Johnny proceeded to order their drinks. Upon walking to the bar Ember instantly recognized the bartender who was waiting there.

"Well if it isn't a sight for sore eyes. Ember I haven't seen you since the last rave you brought you boyfriend to. But from the looks of it your influence has totally rolled on him. But at the same time I would be wary of that closeness they have. She looks like she wants to take him then and there." The bartender replied.

"Penny like Kitty is my girlfriend, and I trust her as well as baby pop." Was Ember's response.

"If it were me I would be careful, but then again I am the extremely jealous type as well. But enough about that what are you and your friends having?" The bartender asked in a calm tone.

"You can give me a vodka with lemon." Ember replied.

"You can get me a beer." Johnny answered.

"I will have a rum and coke thank you." Kitty answered as she looked towards the dance floor.

On the dance floor

"Wow if I didn't know any better I would think you were trying to seduce me and steal me from Ember." Danny replied as he felt Spectra's hips grind against his in an attempt to get a reaction out of him.

"Trust me if I was trying to seduce you we would be like one them for example." Spectra replied as she eyed a blond haired male and what appeared to be a pale green skinned woman in a heavy make out session with their hands all over each other.

"While I won't lie and say I am not enjoying this, doesn't this defeat the point of try to get someone?" Danny asked only for a smirk to appear on Spectra's face.

"I know but here is one of the tricks of dating. When people see you alone they don't want you. But when they see you with someone they think is undeserving they look at the person they want and think 'what does he/she have that I don't?' Besides even if it does fail in the end I still got to have fun." Spectra explained as she went into the perfect role for the next part of the song.

So roll out the red carpet
Cause the queen is here
And bow down before me
And be of good cheer (bow down)
Have my bath ready
And my food prepared
It's not my fault you're ugly
Stay over there
Say, mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the prettiest of them all?
Me, me, me, me, I'm the queen of the ball
I will rise never fall, I'm forever standing tall
Me, me, me, me
I'm the prettiest of them all (that's right)

'Hopefully I am not worn out by the time this song ends, because I still need to save a dance for my dancing flame as well. But still had I never got with her I doubt I would have ever seen this side of Spectra either. It makes me wonder… nah I seriously doubt it.' Danny thought as he like Spectra got into the zone.

I see you looking
You looking, looking, looking at me
I know you're wishing
You're wishing wishing you could be me
Look in the mirror
And tell me tell me what do you see
So tell me, what do you see
So when you're looking at me

In less than 3 minutes a circle was already surrounding the Danny and Spectra and it was quite obvious that despite this being a rave the eyes of the populous were quickly turning towards them. Many of the guys who were looking for a date were instantly going towards the crowd, and the same could be said of the females.

Smiling at the attention Spectra knew she was getting she choose this moment to ignore it and focus on her fun.

'They will still be there when I am done and from what I can see I actually have a line of them waiting for me. But then again I could say the same for Danny with the ladies Ember you better stay on guard otherwise they will be all over him like a fly on shit.' Spectra thought still lost to her world as the next verse and course played.

I'm so vain, so beautifully insane
(that's right)
So don't be ashamed
If you got me on your brain
Where the cameras at (Flash, Flash)
Yeah I'm all a that (Flash, Flash)
I know you're feeling that (Flash, Flash)
Who don't like it can kiss my ass (Flash, Flash)
Get out my way, want a picture got to pay
(good move)
To look like me get on your knees and pray
So ridiculously fine
Don't cha ever cross the line
Don't invade my space
Cause what's mine is mine

I see you looking
You looking, looking, looking at me
I know you're wishing
You're wishing wishing you could be me
Look in the mirror
And tell me tell me what do you see
So tell me, what do you see
So when you're looking at me

Back at the bar

"Wow Danny and Penny are on fire. It seems Penny is drawing up crowd of potential suitors thanks to her looks and dance skills." Kitty replied as she sipped on her rum and coke.

"Yeah, but it also looks like the little dude is also drawing his own and if every one of those girls is after him then he is getting even more attention than she is." Johnny added.

"Well if anyone of those sluts tries to take my baby pop…"

"Ember calm down you know he is 100% loyal to you. I am willing to bet the goddess of love herself could come down and try to claim him and he would reject her for you. Besides the final verse of the song is coming up, and it seems Penny is really into it." Johnny replied drinking his beer.

"Johnny is right, he would never willingly hurt you in that way. But if they try anything and don't get the message..."

"I will break it up before anyone dies." The bartender replied not wanting her favorite place of work being closed due to a murder.

So don't touch my face (get away)
You might get erased
(goodbye go that way)
Don't invade my space
(what's wrong with him)
You better know your place (goodbye)

'Darn the song is ending and I was really enjoying this close quarters dancing with Danny. Hopefully one of the guys here will be a better replacement.' Spectra though as she savored her last few moments of the song and dance.

Eventually the entire song minus the intro started to loop however before the it could start again the DJ ended the song bring both Penny and Danny back from their high. Normally both of them would have been sweating however, thanks to the wonderful ability of intangibility there wasn't an ounce of sweat on their bodies. No sooner did the song end did the crowd of people break apart and go towards the dancer respectively.

"Wow I have to say the two of you were great on the dance floor. However, I have to ask what is a smoking hot babe with all the moves and curves in the right places doing with a loser like him? I mean sure he can dance, but I am willing to bet he couldn't hold his own in a fight if it came down to defending you." One of the macho males replied.

Instantly for some reason she couldn't think off Spectra instead of being turned on was turned off by the comment. Deciding that she wouldn't give this guy her time and looking at the others Spectra continued to listen to the flattery she was getting.

"Tell me about it, he looks like a geeky wimp that you picked up out of pity. Why not ditch the loser and get with a real man!" Another guy replied earning an eye roll from Spectra.

As the crowd of dudes continued to do this and unknowingly continued to turning off Spectra more and more on contrast the girls were doing the same thing.

"Hey there what is a cool guy like yourself doing with an old hag of a woman like her? I know that the rules outside don't apply, but don't wouldn't you rather have a young cute girl like myself over that old batalac over there?" One of the girls replied earning a frown from Danny.

"I hate to rain on your parade… scratch that actually I don't because I already have a girlfriend and…"

Before Danny could finish his sentence and a fight could break out another song began to play and upon hearing he knew what would happen. The Instant he heard the music this time it was his Dancing Flame saying the exact same words that Penelope said earlier, and within moments Ember went through the crowd and on the dance floor.

"Back off you Harpies baby pop is with me!" Ember hissed earning the ire many of the girls there.

"I was wondering when you were going to come my Dancing Flame. You are just in time to seeing as I got my second wind." Danny replied as he walked off with Ember towards a different part of the dance floor as one of her favorite songs began to play.

Come at me,

And you see

I'm more than meets the eye

You think that, you'll break me

You're gonna find in time

You're standing too close to a flame that's burning

Hotter than the sun in the middle of July

Sending out your armies but you still can't win

Listen up silly boy

'Cause I'm gonna tell you why

'I swear the person who wrote this song must have been thinking of me because it describes me perfectly. Time to show these little girls what is mine is mine.' Ember thought as her first chorus came.

I burn

Can't hold me down

You've got nothing

I burn

Swing all you want

Like a fever I'll take you down

The moment Ember heard 'I burn' she had no problem letting her flaming ponytail raise in snyc with the lyric enticing the audience and party goers as she like with the first rave took control and got up close and personal with Danny. Relishing the attention she was getting from her boyfriend as well as the closeness Ember like the first time ground her hips into Danny's in an attempt to get a reaction out of him. However, this time around the young halfa smiled while whispering 'You are going to have to do better than that to get a reaction out of me this time.' In a teasing tone. Ember not one to turn down a challenge took things up a notch as the next lyric of her song played.

Reign supreme

In your dreams

You'll never make me bow

Kick my ass

I'm world class

And Super Saiyan* now

You're starting up a fight

That you just can't finish

Watch the little hearts

While they scrape you off the floor

Bringing out your rockets, well shoot 'em baby

High as you can go

But I'm the one who's gonna soar

At the bar

"Wow it looks like Danny flipped Ember's switch with whatever he whispered in her ear. I haven't seen her like that since… well you know." Kitty replied as she took another rum and coke from the bar.

"Tell me about it, girlfriend is on a mission though from what I am seeing it looks like things could turn ugly really soon. When I was coming over here I overheard some of the jealous harpies talking about showing her who 'reigns supreme.' Penelope replied earning a frown from both Kitty and Johnny.

"Speaking of that, you had a pack of guys after you Penny, why did you turn them all away?" Kitty asked.

"While they all look good they all a bunch of macho meat heads who have even less brains than that blond jock that used to mess with Danny. They all thought that badmouthing my dance partner would win me over but to be honest all it did was turn me off. Besides Ember did mention that until I found someone I liked she had no problem…"

"Helping you find someone you like." Kitty replied causing Johnny and Penelope to raise an eyebrow.

I burn

can't hold me down

You've got nothing

I burn

Swing all you want

like a fever I'll take you down

It doesn't have to be this way

Let's kiss and make up

Then you'll learn

You can fight your life away

I get what I want to

don't bother and just watch me burn

The upper levels of the warehouse

"That bitch thinks she is hot stuff? Well guess what? You are about to get your flames doused. It is a shame cutie will get caught, but that bitch needs to be taken down a peg or 10." A jealous girl thought.

"Bombs away!" One of the girls shouted as she and the other jealous rejected girls dumped their buckets of water, but was drowned out by the loud music.

Just below with Ember and Danny

Ember like Spectra was prior was completely in her zone enjoying the upbeat music while grinding her hips against Danny's in an extremely teasing manner. However, this time around she got what she wanted and felt junior begin rise to attention earning a sly smile. Having Danny right where she wanted him Ember was about to go in for the kill when both she and Danny felt several buckets of ice water pour on their head interrupting their dance time.

"Sorry about that, I guess I must have slipped… ha ha ha!" One of the obviously jealous girls replied causing Ember's neon green eyes to glow brightly while her flaming mane burned even brighter than before.

At the bar

"Oh shit this isn't good. Ember is going to kill them!" The bartender replied earning a nod from Johnny and a shocked look from Penelope.

"You aren't surprised to see…"

"Of course not! I already know Ember, you, Kitty, and Johnny are ghosts, and her boyfriend is half ghost." The bartender replied before pulling out a fire extinguisher.

However, before anything could happen, a puff of green smoke filled the room, and when it was gone so were Ember, and Danny. Fortunately for Danny the party goers despite seeing the fire as well as them disappearing with their own eyes cheered loudly.

"Wow did you see that pale skinned girl ignite in rage before vanishing in a puff of smoke with that guy? That had to be the best act I have seen!" Several of the party goers replied.

"It is a shame really, the flaming haired girl was smoking hot. I would have loved to make her mine." One of the guys replied disappointed.

"I could say the same for the guy she was with." Many of the girls who while jealous weren't apart of the prank replied before everyone went back to what they were doing prior.

At the corner of the party

A certain second best shape shifter smiled as he looked over the footage he got. While equally pissed that his woman was dancing with someone else, he knew that it would soon be coming to an end.

'Once she gets a hold of this, that relationship of theirs will be over including the threesomes with my woman. Once he is out of the way she will take me back and things will be perfect again. Bertrand you old dog you are a genius.' Bertrand thought just before turning invisible and leaving the noisy party.

Stage out
