-Chapter 25 Truce-
PREVIOUSLY ON MY LAST CLIFFHANGER.
"Ember I wanted to ask you something..." Danny started to say awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
"About?" Ember asked not really sure of what he wanted to ask since he asked Amber out so he couldn't ask her out too.
"You saying that we're enemies..." Danny said softly with a hint of sadness.
"Yeah?" Ember said indicating him to carry on.
"Well I wanted to ask if...if...maybe we could...call a truce? Maybe we can be friends?" Danny asked biting his bottom lip about to pass out from the tension.
'That didn't sound pathetic.' Danny's conscience said sarcastically.
"Dipstick-" Ember started to say but stopped talking seeing that Danny's ghost sense went off. 'Oh perfect timing!' Danny yelled in his head sarcastically.
"Great." Ember stated sarcastically turning around slowly standing up off the bed when the door opened and came in two extremely happy teenagers.
"DANNY!" Kitty and Tucker shouted at the same time as they went up to give Danny a bear hug.
"Guys hey! I know I've been unconscious and stuff but I might pass out now since I'm being strangled!" Danny said referring to their hugs of joy as Ember giggled.
"Ember when did he wake up?" Kitty asked curiously.
"Around ten minutes ago I guess..." Ember replied shrugging her shoulders.
"What did you tell my parents Tuck?" Danny asked Tucker raising an eyebrow.
"I simply said you went on a small school trip, your mom fumed and argued saying she never gave any sort of permission or had any notification of this trip, I said that your dad said you could go, your dad literally just agreed since he wouldn't remember if he did or not anyway..." Tucker answered smiling brightly.
"Not bad geek." Ember said smugly, Tucker just smiled warmly knowing she still had to call him that for now since Danny was in the room and didn't know they were friends.
"Danny how you feeling?" Kitty asked worryingly.
"Wow, you were right Ember...but to be honest I think it's only the female ghosts who follow your statement..." Danny said smiling at Ember, referring to when Ember said that ghosts care for each other.
"What statement?" Kitty and Tucker asked at the same time looking back and forth from Danny to Ember.
"Nothing much." Ember and Danny answered expressionless.
"Oh and dipstick not true, there is Desiree and Spectra." Ember said smirking proving him wrong.
"Oh yeah good point, well then I guess it's only the pretty ghost girls who follow the statement?" Danny smoothly flirted referring to Ember mainly.
Ember and Danny's eyes clicked for an endless moment, until Kitty finally broke that. "Ember what is he talking about?" Kitty asked unsure of anything Danny was talking about.
"It's nothing Kitty..." Ember replied dreamily while looking deeper into Danny's eyes As she saw them flash emerald ghost green.
Danny looked into Ember's eyes with the same, even maybe more, passion as he saw them flash blue like his for not even more than half a second. Kitty noticed the quick change in her eyes too.
"Uh hello? Earth to Ember and Danny!" Tucker said a little annoyed since he was being ignored by everyone.
"Yeah?" Danny said dreamily looking at Ember's face, every feature he admired.
"Dipstick stop looking at me like that..." Ember said dreamily, also blushing as she tried very hard to stop herself from stupidly smiling.
"Hey Kitty, are there any good food joints around here?" Tucker asked Kitty quietly as he felt his stomach rumble.
"Are you crazy!? Do you think other ghosts there aren't going to notice Danny Phantom with me, Ember and you casually walking together without you guys blasting us or shoving us into that thermos of yours!?" Kitty yelled.
"Good point. Then me and Danny better go back to the human realm..." Tucker asked slowly only to be hit in the back of the head with Kitty's backhand.
"Ugh seriously, were you born stupid or did you catch it off Skulker?" Kitty asked harshly when she continued to say "You guys can't leave at this time, there will be ghosts everywhere and around your portal so now isn't the best time to be leaving!" Kitty hissed.
"But...I'm hungry!" Tucker whined like a two year old.
"Ugh...humans." Kitty mumbled.
"What? Don't ghosts need food?" Tucker asked curiously.
"No. We can if we want to, but it's not essential for a ghost" kitty answered with a dull look.
"Hey nerd, there's loads of food downstairs." Ember said to Tucker.
Tucker ran downstairs to the kitchen. 'Weird...they don't need food but they have kitchens...makes sense.' Tucker thought to himself.
Kitty flew over to Tucker downstairs to see him rummaging through random cabinets.
"Tucker by the way, I know about Danny and Ember." Kitty stated simply. As soon as that was said Tucker stiffened and turned around slowly and asked "How much do you know?"
"Everything from Ember's point of view..." Kitty said smugly.
"Oh...so everything then?" Tucker asked raising an eyebrow.
"Basically yeah, cute couple right?" Kitty asked smirking.
Tucker softly smiled while nodding slowly. "Here, I'll cook some dinner for everyone" Kitty suggested while flying to a cupboard and grabbing different ingredients. "Eh, might as well help." Tucker said as he shrugged his shoulders.
-With Ember and Danny-
Tucker ran downstairs to get food.
"Well I better go after him incase he destroys your kitchen Em." Kitty stated leaving Danny and Ember.
"Em?" Danny asked raising an eyebrow.
"What you think everyone calls me Ember? Everyone calls you Danny! Right Daniel?" Ember said smirking.
"WHAT!? How did you-" Danny began to say when Ember cut him off.
"-Dipstick seriously, I talked to your girlfriend, she said your name was Daniel and she said you were cute? Unbelievable right?" Ember joked.
"You talked to Amber?" Danny asked eyes wide open.
"Yep, you told me she was a fan? And I knew she was since she screamed when I walked up to her..." Ember said smugly lying. "I told her that you asked me to meet her, she was really happy and couldn't believe it." Ember stated.
"R-really? You said I sent you?" Danny stuttered.
"Course baby-pop! It was a small favour I guess?" Ember said shrugging her shoulders.
"I owe you one Ember...thanks" Danny said softly looking at the floor.
"Nope. I owed you two and you owe me one so, that was one of them, so now I owe you one and you owe me nothing...so far anyway." Ember stated smiling.
"So about the-" Danny began to say when Ember held out her hand for him to shake it.
"-Phantom I accept." Ember said tilting her head to show her hand.
"W-what?" Danny asked unbelieving.
"I accept your truce." Ember said simply as Danny shook her hand and smiled.
"So are we like...frien...frien-" Danny struggled to say.
"We're friends dipstick, but that doesn't mean I can't still call you dipstick and Phantom." Ember said smiling.
"What about baby-pop?" Danny asked smiling.
"Of course I'm still going to be calling you that!" Ember answered punching his arm playfully.
"Why do you call me baby-pop anyway?" Danny asked.
"Uh...I have no idea?" Ember answered biting her bottom lip and blushing slightly.
"We should go check if Tuck didn't burn my kitchen up..." Ember said as she floated to the door.
"Going ghost!" Danny yelled as two rings formed around his body and he turns from Fenton to Phantom. "Hey wait? Did you just call him Tuck?" Danny asked Ember shocked.
"What no? I said 'We should go check if the tick didn't burn my kitchen up'!" Ember answered acting annoyed.
"Oh." Danny mumbled as he floated to the door next to Ember then they both phased down into the kitchen to see Kitty and him cooking.
"Tuck since when can you cook?" Danny asked shocked.
"Since never, Kitty's doing most of the work, I'm just trying to help..." Tucker answered smiling cheerily.
"It's weird you and Danny aren't killing each other?" Kitty said to Ember smugly.
"Yeah Danny, I thought by now you would have sucked her into the Fenton Thermos?" Tucker said to Danny with the same amount of smugness in his voice as Kitty's.
"Truce." Danny and Ember said at the same time blushing slightly.
"What? You guys called a truce?" Tucker and Kitty asked.
"Yeah, dipstick and me are friends" Ember answered.
"*cough* yeah like Danny doesn't want to be more *cough*" Tucker smirked as Kitty elbowed him hard and Danny blushed red, his whole face was red he seemed so tense, though his face was red you could tell that his face showed anger, by the looks of it he wanted to kill Tucker.
Ember began to blush too with just made Tucker's smirk wider.
"Guys calm down, I was just joking!" Tucker lied smugly.
"Yeah obviously!" Danny said almost shouting nervously.
"Yeah! I mean dipstick doesn't have a crush on me!" Ember said almost shouting agreeing with Danny which only caused Danny to blush more if possible.
"Wow." Kitty said watching the scene pass as she tried not to burst into laughter.
"So guys dinners ready!" Tucker said awkwardly since Kitty just floated there smirking, Danny and Ember just stood still blushing not making eye contact.
-During dinner-
"This is good, you guys can really cook!" Danny said happily while eating.
"Thanks!" Tucker and Kitty replied.
"Ember's good at cooking too, weird I know..." Kitty mentioned only to get a glare from Ember.
"Ha! Maybe when they're living together she can cook for you Danny!" Tucker joked making Ember and Danny flush red.
"SOOOOO!, being full ghosts you guys don't need to eat, do they still have restaurants here in the ghost zone?" Danny asked trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, they have all types of restaurants! Same as the human realm? Sushi, Chinese, Indian, fast food-" Kitty was cut off by Tucker.
"And romantic restaurants! I'm sure one day on one of their many special anniversaries Danny will take Ember out on a lovely meal there." Tucker joked smirking.
Kitty tried to hold in her laughs but they just flowed out and she couldn't stop laughing, Ember and Danny began to grit their teeth at Tucker and both glared daggers at him too.
"Change of subject off food then! Kitty how is Johnny?" Ember asked changing the subject over to Kitty.
"Oh he's fine, he actually pays more attention to me now! He doesn't check every girl out anymore, he's being the perfect gentleman!" Kitty replied smiling with the tone of a warm heart.
"Yeah I'm sure Danny will be like that too! The perfect gentleman, Ember I'm sure, would love a guy that's a gentleman, right Ember?" Tucker said after Kitty still with the same smirk.
At that moment Ember and Danny both kicked Tucker under the table.
"You both kicked me again!" Tucker yelled as he grabbed both his knee caps.
'Woah, deja vu' Ember and Danny thought.
"Again?" Kitty and Danny asked raising an eyebrow. Danny knew that he kicked Tucker before but how did Ember?
"Hey did you guys hear about the fire in Amity Park? It didn't hurt or kill anyone but it was huge! I saw the whole thing!" Kitty said after an awkward silence, trying to bring up a subject.
"No I didn't hear, good thing no one was hurt though" Danny said smiling.
"Wow a fire...was it a beautiful flaming blue fire by any chance?" Tucker asked slyly looking to the direction of Ember and Danny.
Danny's hands and arms stiffened as Danny bit his top lip and looked away from everyone and to the wall.
Ember more or less did the same, she quickly dropped her head and looked straight at her food not saying a word.
Kitty knew about their little flirty conversations and now knew that Tucker also knew so she casually just didn't say or do anything but smile...
"So Kitty! Have you met Amber before?" Danny said quickly.
"No, what's she like? Ember's told me about her before..." Kitty answered calmly.
"Well...she's really nice, she's funny, fun to talk to, I have loads in common with her! We both play guitar and she can sing amazingly!" Danny said with emotion.
'Sounds like Ember to me.' Kitty thought happily.
"That's funny? Ember can sing amazingly too and she plays guitar" Tucker mentioned trying not to sound sly.
"Yeah you guys should do a duet sometime? It would probably sound amazing!" Kitty said joining in with Tucker.
"Yeah, you guys are friends now, might as well just to see what it would sound like?" Tucker agreed.
Danny and Ember slowly nodded.
"Anyway! I'm done eating, so I'll go clean up" Danny said taking Ember's plate too since there was no more food on hers either.
"Thanks baby-pop" Ember said with a small smile.
'Isn't he sweet?' Ember's conscience said.
Kitty gave Ember a small smug since she noticed Danny taking her plate for her.
While Danny was in the kitchen he shut the door so that he didn't have to hear more and so he wouldn't kill Tucker.
"So Ember, when are you gonna tell him?" Tucker asked smiling casually.
"You act so innocent even after the awkward conversation you just made..." Kitty stated seeing how calmly Tucker said that.
"You just had to go and make this small dinner awkward didn't you?" Ember said with a tiny smirk.
"Admit you thought it was funny!" Tucker said as he saw a small grin on Ember's face and he saw Kitty snicker.
Danny now opens the kitchen door and walks to the three friends.
"Guys it's almost midnight? What if the portal closes?" Danny asked worryingly.
"All the ghosts would have been asleep by now anyway, you guys can go..." Ember said a little disappointed.
"I'm going to get lost remember?" Danny said hinting he wanted Ember to teleport him home again, in other words he wants to hold her hand to teleport again.
"Ember, you take Danny home since you can only teleport one person at one time, then come back for Tucker?" Kitty suggested.
"It takes a lot of my power to teleport twice? Can't you take Tuck since you can fly faster than usual ghosts?" Ember suggested.
'There she goes calling him Tuck again!' Danny thought.
"Hmm, okay. You take Danny and I'll take Tucker." Kitty answered.
Danny nodded smiling knowing now that he would be taken home again by Ember.
Danny was about to grab her hand when Ember offered her hand for them to teleport.
Danny then accepted Ember's hand and they both disappeared in a whirlwind of blue flames.
"Awwh..." Kitty said sweetly after they left. "Aren't they so cute!" Kitty said in a high pitched voice.
"Yeah, maybe we should leave them a bit of time to talk." Tucker said smiling.
"Yeah, I'll take you back in two minutes" Kitty said.
-The moment when Danny and Ember arrived in Fenton Works lab-
Suddenly a blue whirlwind of flames appeared as then the flames disappeared to show Danny and Ember holding hands in Fenton Works Lab.
"Here you go dipstick." Ember said simply looking around the lab awkwardly.
"Yeah thanks Ember" Danny said sheepishly as he turned around and kissed Ember on the cheek.
'I don't believe it, he did what 'Amber' said to do!?' Ember's conscience said shocked.
Danny walked to the steps to the ground floor of his house after he said "See you"
Ember just stood there in shock. Then Kitty and Tucker flew through the Fenton Portal and they both said "Hey Ember."
"Baby-pop already went upstairs." Ember said simply. "C'mon Kitty let's go, see you Tucker" Ember said emotionless.
Ember went through the portal into the ghost zone, Kitty mouthed to Tucker 'What happened?' Referring to Ember's expressionless face and tone of voice.
Kitty went through the portal and Tucker went home.
