Love… Is Complicated

Valentine's Day. A day of love and spending time with your loved ones, giving them Valentine's Day cards and gifts, feeding them chocolates, and doing romantic things together. It is, for certain, a day of love. However, for three certain girls, love… is a little more complicated…

…

Put Me Down!

Dani was just walking home when it happened.

Sure, she could have flown home, and if she knew what was going to happen to her, she would have. But, she just wanted to walk home, and observe all the different couples spending Valentine's Day together. It made her heart ache, but she didn't care; when she had found the one who loved both her human and ghost forms, then she will spend Valentine's Day with them.

Anyway, Dani was just minding her business, alternating between people-watching and daydreaming about the one for her… when she was suddenly lifted up off her feet and into the air.

"AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!" Dani screamed, clutching on tightly to whatever grabbed her, eyes squeezed shut from the terror of suddenly being lifted up from the ground and into the air. However, she could feel that whatever she was holding was cold to the touch, and was shaking, and she could hear familiar laughter. And then, she heard a voice that she hated with a passion.

"Hello, my bonnie lassie."

Dani's eyes snapped open, and she glared in hatred at the ghost she hated more than any other ghost she and Danny have encountered.

"Youngblood."

The ghostly teen smiled what he thought was a charming smile, but wasn't, to her.

"Surprised to see me?"

"Not at all," Dani bit out. "Now, could you please put me down?!"

"Sorry, my bonnie lassie, but I didn't go to all the trouble of surprising you by sweeping you off your feet by putting you down."

"One, you didn't surprise me; you scared me. Two, I don't believe that you would go to the trouble of pulling me into the air for 'sweeping me off my feet'. And three, don't call me your bonnie lassie. Now put me down!"

"Well, believe me or not, I did want to surprise you by sweeping you off your feet. And what else shall I call you, my bonnie lassie?"

Dani growled. "How about nothing at all?! And, for God's sake, put me DOWN!"

To emphasise that, Dani's eyes glowed a furious green and she let go of Youngblood with one arm, using that arm to clench her fist.

"You sure about that?" Youngblood asked cockily, raising an eyebrow.

"If you wanna still use your mouth, then yes!"

Youngblood sighed exaggeratedly. "For you, my bonnie lassie, yes."

Dani glared at him all the way as Youngblood flew down and placed her back down. Dani folded her arms as she continued to glare at a smirking Youngblood.

"Well, see you around, my love. I hope that you remember this day as a sign of my love to you. Maybe we could go on a date sometime?" Youngblood farewelled, smirking. But before he could fly away, Dani grabbed the back of his coat and pulled him back to face her.

"Ow!"

"One, I am not your love. Two, that was not love; that was you thinking that you're in love with me, and I'm in love with you, which I'm not. And three, never ask me to go on a date again," Dani said. "And I'll never remember this day as one of love to me. Just count yourself lucky that I haven't sucked you inside my Fenton Thermos."

Youngblood smirked.

"Think what you think, Dani, but you are as hopelessly clueless to your love for me as I know I am deeply in love with you."

"I am not clueless. And I am not in love with you," Dani growled.

Youngblood smirked again.

"Again, think what you think, Dani. But…"

Suddenly, he kissed her. On the cheek. Dani's eyes widened in surprise and her mouth opened in an 'O' as a blush blossomed on her cheeks.

Youngblood smiled and pulled away, Dani still looking gobsmacked.

"But just think about that," Youngblood finished, before he teleported back into the Ghost Zone.

Dani was still standing there a few minutes after Youngblood left, hand to her cheek.

"Youngblood kissed me?" she whispered. At that, she frowned.

"That obnoxious, arrogant jerk!" Dani exclaimed. She glared at the spot where Youngblood once floated and shouted, "YOUNGBLOOD!"

She began walking away, before stopping and turned back, yelling, "And for your information, I am not clueless!"

And with that, Dani walked back home, feeling angry, frustrated and confused about Youngblood "sweeping her off her feet" and kissing her. It was exactly how that arrogant, narcissistic jerk who had deluded himself into thinking he was in love with her would act, and he was also thinking that she was in love with him, along with June, Haley, and Danny. But she didn't. She did not have a crush on Youngblood, no matter what anyone said. And she was definitely not clueless.

But still, a small, small part of her couldn't help but feel a warm feeling at how Youngblood had kissed her.

Study-Date

Haley was feeling excited.

Today, she was studying with Carter. Her crush. At his house. On Valentine's Day.

No, she was more than excited. She was ecstatic.

Giddily, Haley knocked on the door, and a few minutes later, her crush appeared.

Carter smiled at her, his brown hair flopping adorably over his baby-blue eyes.

"Hey Haley," Carter greeted.

"H-hi Carter," Haley greeted, trying to keep cool.

"So, want to come inside? I've got it all set up," Carter invited, stepping aside.

"S-sure, Carter," Haley said.

She walked inside, barely keeping in her giddy excitement at being in her crush's house, but she tried to keep it cool.

"So… where are we studying?" Haley asked, hoping that she was playing it cool.

"We're studying in the living room. That okay with you?" Carter asked her.

Everything's okay when you ask me if they are okay, Haley thought dreamily, before saying, "Yeah, it's cool."

Carter smiled. Gosh, Haley loved that smile.

"Sweet."

You're sweet, Haley thought dreamily, but she continued to play it cool.

"So, what do you want to study first? Geography? History? Science? What about we do that assignment for English?" Haley asked Carter.

"Wait, we have an assignment?"

"Uh, yeah, we do."

"Wow, I must've not been paying attention. What's the assignment about?"

"It's about writing a short story about a chosen mytho-"

"Carter! I didn't know we were going to have guests here."

Haley's head jerked up and her eyes widened, while Carter smiled.

"Hey uncle."

Haley stood there, frozen, as Hans Rotwood looked at her and Carter.

"Hey Carter." He looked at Haley and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw her. "And Haley Long."

Haley stood there, stiff as a statue, while Carter smiled, but then saw her frozen state.

"Haley, are you okay?"

"Pardon? Oh. Y-yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure? You don't look fine."

"I'm fine, Carter. Look, can we take a rain check? I'm terribly sorry about this, but…"

With that Haley headed out of the house.

"Haley!" Carter called after her, but Haley had already walked out.

She had been so excited for this study-date, spending this special day with her crush.

But how could you enjoy a study-date with your crush when his uncle, who was determined to expose the magical world and knew hers and Jake's secrets, was in the same room as you?

Picnic Date Interruptions

"GET BACK INTO THE HOLE FROM WHERE YOU CAME FROM!"

Suddenly, a reptilian monster crashed into the ground. Standing where she had punched it was June. Panting, she strode up to the monster and using her Te Xuan Ze strength, threw the monster out of town.

Monster dealt with, June ran back to where she was having a picnic date with her crush, Marcus.

"Sorry about that, Marcus. There was a lizard, and I was chasing it off," June lied, looking down nervously as she sat down.

"You sounded like you were really angry at it," Marcus observed, making room for June.

"Well, they're lizards. They're annoying little creatures," June said. "Now, I'm sure-after the first five times-that we won't have any more-"

"

Suddenly, the purple gem on her bracelet began to glow and June groaned while Marcus frowned.

"Interruptions," June finished. She smiled apologetically at Marcus.

"Sorry about this Marcus. I've gotta do something. But, maybe we could take a rain check?" June asked.

Where I'm not being bombarded by demands from the magical world every two seconds?

Marcus shrugged.

"Sure."

June gave him a relieved smile.

"Thanks!" she thanked, and the ran off, hoping to get rid of the magical creature that had interrupted her picnic date with her crush, like the other five creatures that had done the same.

Why can't I enjoy one day with my crush without any demands for the Te Xuan Ze? Especially when today's Valentine's Day?

…

Yep. For Dani, Haley and June, love… is complicated.

Weird, I know. And kinda a Drabble. But, I hope you enjoyed this nonetheless!
