Remember: A twist in time
A shining star
Ember nervously read over her lyrics, she had recently finished her song with the help of her boyfriend! And this was the first time she was going to sing it, she was going to sing her song at the talent show of all places.
"Ready?" Danny asked while he sat down
"Yeah... I'm kind of nervous" Ember said while cleared her throat, "like... I have no problem singing in front of you... But the entire school..."
"Alright... Just imagine your singing to me" Danny said as he stood up and place his hands on her shoulders, "just pretend it's you and me"
"Alright..." Ember said with a smile
"Alright, McLain! Get singing" Danny said clapping his hands together and sitting back down, "Go"
"Jerk" Ember smiled at her idiot of a boyfriend. Ember took a deep breath, she smiled at him and started to sing. Danny simply smiled, her voice was amazing something he wouldn't have admitted before. Danny simply listened, he felt like it was hours, hearing her beautiful voice but it was simply a couple of minutes.
"So what do you think?" Ember asked as she nervously bit her lip
"Perfect my dear!" Danny said while he got up and kissed her cheek, still making her blush, "You're going to win for sure"
"Thanks… Dipstick" Ember smiled while she pushed some hair behind her ear, moving her hand down and holding it.
"AH!" The two quickly looked back and saw Elizabeth shouting in excitement, they had completely forgotten to tell her parents.
"Shit….." Ember quickly saw her mother hug Danny, she shouted some more and tighten her grip around him.
"Mom! Don't choke him!" Ember shouted seeing her boyfriend turn purple
"Oh! Yes!" Elizabeth shouted while she continued to shout, "My dream has come true! THANK YOU LORD!"
"Gosh!" Ember sigh, she took Danny's hand and pulled him towards the front door.
"JAMES!" Elizabeth shouted as she ran into the kitchen, "OUR LITTLE GIRL HAS A BOYFRIEND"
"WHAT?!" James shouted from the kitchen
"AH!" Ember shouted quickly leaving the house
"Wow…. I never knew your parents would be so happy" Danny said, Ember glared at him, she wrap her arms around his neck.
"Come on," she said as she jump slightly, Danny chuckled and pick her up in his arms. He went ghost and flew off, they flew in the sky and felt the cool air blowing in the air.
The day before the show
Ember sigh in annoyance, she had the worst weekend ever! Her mother was freaking out since she was dating Danny, and her father was neutral….. which worried her a bit and her aunt was as crazy as her mother. Ember was happy that Danny and her passed the baby flour project with flying colours, they got the highest grade in the class which simply encouraged the gossip some more.
"So…. Romeo said…." Ember blinked a few times, she had forgotten she was in English class, she sigh once more and glance at the window. Ember glance at the window, her eyes widen slightly, seeing her man outside during track and field…. Shirtless….
"Helllo…" Ember smiled and bit her lower lip, she leaned in forward and watch her man's beautiful and muscular body. Ember blushed like crazy, her eyes scanning Danny's six pack and muscular arms.
"OH MY GOSH!" Ember looked back and saw every single girl in the class rush towards the window, she sigh since she knew what they were looking at, they were looking at her shirtless boyfriend.
"CLASS SIT DOWN!" the teacher shouted seeing the girls go crazy, and having a few guys impressed on how muscular he was, and the others couldn't care less. Danny looked towards the window, clearly noticing the screaming girls.
"They're idiots," Ember said while she watched the girls run out of class, quickly running outside to get a better look. She continued to look outside and smiled when she saw her boyfriend push the girls away, she rolled her eyes knowing Danny would never cheat on her.
"Danny!" Glitter shouted while she pushed some girls away, "HOLY SHIT!"
"UGH!" Danny shouted while he continued to push more girls away, "GET OFF!"
"DANNY!" Glitter said while jump on his back, she quickly clinged to his neck "FUCK YOUR SO HOT!"
"UGH!" Danny shouted while he pushed her off
"Alright!" Ember shouted while she casually walked towards them, "Girls! He's taken"
"Oh, no…. shes probably going to overreact like Sam…." Danny worriedly looked at Ember while she pushed some girls away, Ember somehow got some of the girls to leave which was impressive since they acted like animals.
"Beat it!" Ember said
"Alright ladies!" the principal shouted noticing the students from his office, "Go back to class right now!"
"You heard him! GO!" Ember said while she held Danny's hand, "NOW!"
The girls whined and complained, they reunctically left and went back to class. The principal glared at Ember and waited for her to return to class as well, Ember smiled and looked at him.
"I have a spare, sir" Ember said, the principal raised an eyebrow and nodded his head before leaving. Ember rolled her eyes and looked back at Danny, he nervously waited for her to shout at him for being unfaithful.
"They're so stupid" Ember chuckled while she kissed his cheek, "Do they really think, you would cheat on me?"
"She's not…. Mad?" Danny raised an eyebrow and was surprised, he was so used to have Sam screaming at him whenever a girl approached him.
"You're not mad….?" Danny asked a bit surprised
"Why would I get mad?" Ember asked while she raised an eyebrow, "It's not your fault"
"Oh….. Hm….. Never mind then" Danny smiled while he scratch his head. Ember smiled and glance at Danny's bare chest, she smiled biting her lower lip.
"You…. Should sadly put a shirt on" she said with her eyes staring at his abs, Danny chuckled while he waved his hand in front of her, Ember quickly looked up and smiled at him.
"I HATE HER!" Glitter shouted while she stormed to her car, she opened the door and entered her car and fixed her makeup. Glitter lowered her mirror and checked her makeup, she made a few touched for the tenth time this morning. "HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO GET BACK AT HER!" She shouted hitting her stirring wheel.
"Baby….." Glitter looked up and sigh once she saw it was Josh, "I think I can help you"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Glitter asked
"Talent show…. My sister is in charge and…. That bitch is going to sing" Josh said while he leaned over her car door. Ember smiled and leaned in closer, "So you in?"
"What do you have in mind?" Glitter asked. Danny simply walked around town, he couldn't believe Ember didn't freak out, she understood he had no intentions in those other women. Danny smiled while he walked around downtown, Ember was amazing….
"MY PAPERS!" Danny quickly raised his head and saw papers fly by, he ran after them and managed to catch them all…. Well, he had to fly slightly to catch the last one. Danny gather the papers and look around, he quickly saw a man in a suit with a hat, he held an opened briefcase while gathering some papers.
"Thank you," the man said while he ran towards him, "Nice catch"
"No problem…." Danny said glancing inside his briefcase and reading 'Rolling Stone Mobile Studio's scouter'
"Scouter….. wait….. This is Ember's chance…." Danny looked up at the man, he was hoping this man was a music scouter and not an assistant or something.
"Wait….. Rolling Stone Mobile Studio?" Danny looked up at the man
"Thanks, son," the man said with a smile, "You saved me life"
"I just caught a few papers," Danny said while he gave them back
"Important ones," the man said
"Excuse me…. But are you a scouter for the studio?" Danny asked with a smile
"Indeed I am" the man replied
"Sir! If it wouldn't too much to ask but….."
The talent show
Ember nervously waited behind stage, she was only five minutes away from going on stage and performing her new song. She sigh and walked around a bit, she place her song down and took a breather, trying to calm down her nerves.
"Hey rocker star" Danny said while he walked towards her, "Ready?"
"Kind of…." Ember mumbled nervously rub her hands together
"What's wrong?" He asked
"I can't really remember my song…." Ember said while she glance at the audience from the small opening, "I'm really nervous"
"You can do this…" Danny said while he rub her arms, "Just imagine your singing in front of me"
Glitter smirk, she pulled her hood over her hand and quickly walked passed behind her and talking her lyrics. Glitter walked away and threw the song away, she quickly went to find Josh, who held a bucket with water.
"Ready?" She asked
"The lights are off…. The voice…. Water on her head….. And I got that photo you took…." Josh smiled, Glitter smiled as well. Glitter had managed to get a photo of Ember in her darkest moments, she was a mess and Glitter had added 'Die bitch Die' to it.
"Just get ready…. I'll pull the cord and that's your signal" Glitter said
"Don't worry Ember….. You'll do great" Danny smiled as he kissed her cheek, "Good luck"
"Thanks, Dipstick" Ember smiled. Danny smiled and rub her arm, he walked passed her and started to make his way to his seat, but something caught his eye. Danny stopped and look closely, seeing Josh holding a bucket with a grin on his face.
"What is he doing?" Danny looked around, he quickly went invisible and walked towards Josh, who seemed to be repeating something to himself.
"Cord…. Turn off light…. Bucket… And that photo of that loser…." Josh mumbled while he watched Ember go on stage, "That bitch is going to pay…."
"Son of a bitch…." Danny growled. Danny phased through the wall, he flew a bit and look at the things around him. Danny slwoly turned visible and punched Josh in the head, Josh was suddenly struck and landed on the ground With the bucket falling to the ground. Danny jump down and landed in the water, he slowly walked towards him.
"What the HELL are you planning?!" Danny said while he heard the announcer, "TELL ME"
"FUCK!" Josh shouted as he threw the bucket at him, quickly running off and didn't see the bucket phased through him. Danny looked back where Josh was, he search the area and found a USB key, he took the key and place it in his pocket.
"Ember McLain!" Danny looked over and smiled when he saw Ember on stage, he scanned the area once more, making sure there wasn't anything to ruin her performance. Danny quickly left the stage and went to his seat, he made it just in time to see Ember about to begin her song.
"I can do this…." Ember closed her eyes, she felt her heart beating out of her chest. Ember took a deep breath and held the mic, she looked up at the crowd but her eyes only focusing on Danny in the seats, she cleared her mind and only focused on him. Ember started to play her guitar while her eyes staring at Danny, she waited for the moment to sing and imagined she was all alone with him like during their practice.
"It was….. it was September….."
Danny smiled at her, he looked back and saw the audience were in shock, unable to believe such a beautiful voice came from this young girl. The audience was in complete silence while they listened to Ember's beautiful song, Glitter bit her lip in frustration seeing she was lose the talent show. Glitter glance at her mic and followed the cord, she went back stage and pulled the cord and unplug it, Ember was near the end of her song when she noticed the mic went silent. Ember looked around, she wasn't sure what to do…..
"Come on Josh!" Glitter thought while she waited for the lights to turn off, and seeing the embarrassing photo. Glitter simply waited and waited, she watched has Ember's mic was plug once more and she continued to sing after apologizing. Glitter quickly went further back stage and went to Josh, her eyes widen, seeing Josh was missing along with the USB. Glitter looked around and wasn't sure what happened, she heard the audience clap and cheer.
"FUCK!" Glitter thought as she quickly went back to her original spot, "FUCK"
"Our next performance is Glitter Lockwood" the announcer shouted. Glitter purposely hit Ember in the shoulder while she walked passed her, Glitter walk on stage with her mic. She was going to sing a Beatle's song, she knew she couldn't sing but she was going to ensure her victory. Glitter smiled and started to sing….. Very badly….. The audience glance at each other, a few covered their ears while others 'bo' her.
"I'm going to win…." Ember thought seeing the audience suffer through this torture, "Wow….."
"THANK YOU!" Glitter shouted in a high pitch voice, she walked off stage but quickly blew a kiss before leaving. Glitter went to her bag and took out her phone, she went through her contacts "Daddy! Make a call….."
A few moments later
"And the votes are in" the announcer shouted while he held a folded paper, "And the winner is…."
"Come on…. Ember….." Danny held his hands into a fist and anxiously waited for the announcement, "Come on…."
" Glitter Lockwood!" the announcer shouted. The crowd started to whispered, they couldn't believe Glitter had won the talent show, she was nothing compared to Ember's talent.
"THIS IS BULLSHIT!" someone shouted before the audience followed along with her, shouting a fake talent show, and corrupted judges.
"EMBER! EMBER! EMBER!" Danny shouted outraged Glitter had won, he knew she had paid off or threatened the judges for her victory. The audience looked at Danny shouting, a few followed along with him demanding for the true victor to be acknowledge.
"SHUT UP!" Glitter shouted
"ENOUGH! The judges have made their decisions" the announcer shouted, the audience shouted in outrage and in shock of Glitter cheating her way to victory. The announcer quickly took Glitter and pulled her behind the stage, and away from the outraged audience.
"As long as Danny liked it….." Ember smiled she walked down from the stage and towards him, she would have been angered by this like her fellow classmates….. but she wasn't. She was happy enough to have Danny in her life, she didn't really care about losing the talent show or that Glitter cheated.
"Danny!" Ember said while she hug him with the audience leaving in disbelief, "Did you like it?"
"You were amazing!" Danny said as he kissed her cheek, "You should have won"
"It's alright…. As long as you loved it…." Ember said
"Well…. I have something that could cheer you up" Danny said
"What is it?"
"Ember…. Look behind you" Danny said while he place his hands on her hips
"What is it?" Ember asked. Danny waved, he turned Ember around and faced a tall man with a hat and blue eyes, "Who's this?"
"Marcus…. Of Rolling Stone Mobile Studio…. He's a scouter" Danny said with a smile. Ember eyes widen in shock, she started to freak out but managed to hold it inside.
"It…. Its such a honour…." Ember said with her eyes wide
"You were quite a shining star," Marcus said with a smile
"Thank you," Ember said with a big smile
"I'll talk to my boss and give you a call," Marcus said while he shook Ember's hand, "See you later, Amberline"
"How about…. Ember…. McLain….." Ember said feeling her heart beating out of her chest, "Ember McLain"
"Ember McLain….hm….. I like it" he said while he put his hand in his pocket, "It's catchy…. And people will remember that…. Good choice"
"Thank you!" Ember said quickly looking at Danny, who smiled at her. Marcus smiled and put his hat on, he shook her hand once more and tip his hat to her before he left. Ember waited for Marcus to leave, she screamed in excitement and hug Danny and giving him kisses on his cheek.
"THANK YOU!" Ember shouted while she continued to kiss him all over the face, Danny chuckle while he held her in his arms.
"Calm down….. " Danny said with a chuckle, "Whoa there…. I love kisses but…."
"Danny! I can't thank you enough!" Ember said hugging him
"Anything for you, my love," Danny said while he wrap his arm around her waist, kissing her cheek and smiling.
