I Can't Believe My Heart
In the endless realms of the Ghost Zone, a familiar blue-haired female rocker ghost was sitting on a floating rock, chin resting on her hand, her other hand twirling a red rose between her fingers; a rose that the dipstick had given her.
Why in the Ghost Zone did he give me this?
It didn't make sense. They were enemies. Why would he give her a flower. He couldn't be in love with her... could he? And she isn't be in love with him... is she?
"No. I sworn off men after the last time. It couldn't be... and yet why is my heart telling me differently?"
Ember sighed, letting her hand fall, looking out over at the swirling green and black expanse of the Ghost Zone, confused about what her heart was telling her...
EMBER
"I've always thought that men were slime,
And every guy I've met has proved me right.
Until tonight."
It was true. Every guy Ember had dated, including that oaf Skulker, had never seen her as a woman, but as a girl who will be dumped but the next prettier ghost girl. But Phantom...
Ember shook her head and continued to ponder what were feelings were for Phantom.
EMBER
"Just when I thought I had it figured
That life's a game you cannot win,
He comes in and changes all the rules.
What I've been taught, I learned the hard way,
That life and love are never just.
And if you trust, you're one of the fools."
That was true. Her heart had definitely learned the hard way that love was a cruel game played by fate; it had cost her her very life. And now, when she had thought her heart had hardened to love entirely, here comes Danny Phantom, who she believed was her enemy, but now, he confused her by giving her this rise after their latest fight. It was puzzling, to say the least. And yet her heart...
EMBER
"And now I can't believe my heart;
Is saying don't resist him.
That I've been on my guard too long.
I can't believe my heart
Surrendered when I kissed him. And told me all I thought I knew,
As sad, but true, is wrong."
Why was her heart telling her that she was in love with Phantom? True, she had been guarded, but she was just protecting herself from getting her heart broken again! And why was she imaging how Phantom's lips would be on hers... Phantom's lips on hers...
STOP IT!
Why couldn't her heart be straightforward?! It was pulling her in one direction, and her head was pulling her in another direction. Why? Why was she feeling so confused? Why...
EMBER
"If life is worth the disappointment;
I hadn't seen one reason yet,
Until I met the boy who smiles for free.
Upon this Earth, there's no one like him
He sees the girl I long to be.
Making even me believe in me."
She had suffered so much in life-heartbreak, the death of her family and best friends, her own death and her start as a ghost-that she had stopped believing that things like love were fair. But then, Phantom came along. He treated her like an enemy in the beginning, but now... now it was like he was seeing her as a girl to be loved, and to love. He saw in her the girl she once was when she was alive, the part of Amber McLain that hadn't died in that fire and wasn't resurrected as Ember McLain. His smiles, this rose, even that annoyingly charming witty banter made her smile too, made her become Amber McLain once again. But she wasn't. She was tough, fiery, fearless, strong Ember McLain, who didn't care about what anyone thinks about her and her heart was stone-cold to love. And yet... Danny Phantom made her believe that she could be once again Amber McLain.
But...
EMBER
"And now I can't believe my heart
Has overcome my senses,
To help me see that he's the prize.
I can't believe my heart
Says tear down your fences,
That everything you want and more is right before your eyes.
I can't believe my heart
Could be so...
Wise."
The rose slipped out of her fingers as Ember's hands were placed where her heart used to throb, confused and stunned.
Why was her damn heart so convinced that she was in love with Phantom...
Was she?
Why did this all have to be so confusing?
She needed more time to ponder this.
Oh Ember... you're just as clueless as the boy you're crushing on.
