Resurrected Memories

Chapter 38: Temptations

Monday, that afternoon

(11 days before the prom)

All day, Ember has been the center of attention at Casper High and she loved every single moment of it. They all were treating her like she was a celebrity, some asking for autographs and telling her that she was amazing.

This was her happy place.

"Amberline Lain is so cool…."

"I heard she's going to be this year's queen…"

"You should have seen that concert she did on Saturday; she was like a rock star…"

"Amberline is amazing…"

These were some of the many things Ember was hearing and she loved each moment of it. Her concert was a total success and she gain a following and loved it. Best of all, not once all day did she hear a comment about Paulina or her campaign and that was a sign that she was winning

"This rocks…" Ember thought in glee as she continued to be fawned over the fan club.

"Hey Amberline, can I have your autograph…" Some freshman asked.

"Sure thing…"Ember said as she signed his notebook.

"Can you sign my shirt?...'Another kid asked and the auburn girl did just that.

More and more kids kept asking for autographs and details about her performance and Ember truly felt in her element here.

"So what's your band called again Amberline?...'Some kid asked.

"Um…It's not exactly my band, I'm a solo act…Christopher and Zoe and I just did a one-time thing…"Ember explained.

"Well you guys sounded awesome together and that drummer was dreamy…"A brunette girl said, causing Ember to roll her eyes.

"That girl on the keyboard was cool too, Zoe was her name?...'Some jock asked.

"Yeah but she's not from this school…She goes to APAA…"Ember said as she had more people ask her about her temporary band.

Usually Ember would have felt agitated and annoyed when people started praising others, especially when she was present but…for once, she didn't feel annoyed. She knew that Christopher and Zoe were great musicians and they were really nice to her, willing to help her beat Paulina even after she told her she wasn't interested in joining there band. Maybe it was because the truth wasn't that she wasn't interested, but it was that she was unable, given the circumstances in her life and afterlife.

Had they been different, maybe-

"Stop it…You know why you can't…" Ember thought stubbornly as she tried to shake away those thoughts that have been plaguing her all weekend. Ember tried to focus on the attention everyone was giving her and she soon saw Danny and she went to join him.

"Hey Danny…" Ember said to the male halfa.

"Well if it isn't Taylor Swift…'Danny chuckled when she saw her frown.

"Do me a favor and don't do that…I prefer my own name thank you…"Amberline said, trying to keep a neutral expression.

"Alright…Geez, I just meant that you were such a huge hit the other day, the whole school is acting like you're this rock star in the making…"Danny said.

"Only because I am…One day I will be a famous singer and everyone will know just how good I am…"She said proudly.

"Well I really can't wait to see that happen…Speaking of which, how's everything with the prom?…"Danny asked.

"Perfect, Sam said I'm in the lead by 2%..."She said excitedly.

"That's wonderful…"Danny said happily.

"Not only that but I already picked out my dress during the weekend, the shoes and I book an appointment to get my hair done…"Amberline listed.

"I see…"Danny said.

"What about you? Are you still planning on ditching prom?...'She asked.

"I think…I dunno yet…I wouldn't even know who to ask…"Danny shrugged.

"You don't need a date Danny but I still would prefer if you were there to see my crowning glory, along with me giving my first command to Paulina…"Amberline.

"Which is what again?...'Danny asked curiously.

Amberline, wanting to make sure that none of Paulina's little spies were around, quickly whispered in his ear and Danny started laughing.

"Are you serious? You're going to make her do that?.." Danny said in between his laughs.

'I have to…I promised Sam…"She said.

"Yeah, I can totally see Sam making that request…"Danny said with a small smile.

"Don't think I forgot about you, I'll still make sure she stays at least 10 feet away from you for as long as possible…"Amberline said seriously.

"Thanks Amberline…'Danny said in an appreciative tone.

The two soon left and joined up with Valerie, Sam and Tucker. They all started socializing, taling about their weekends, the prom and just about everything a bunch of friends would talk about. Ember tried to ignore the churn in her stomach as she tried to enjoying socializing with them. She tried not to think that in just a few days, she would leave and not be able to see them again. She tried not to think about who false their friendship was.

She only wanted to…to keep pretending that they were real friends and that they did care about her. She wanted to keep thinking that for now, she cared about them as well.

She kept performing her act, since that was that she could do now.

Later

It was lunch time and Ember had excused herself from the group to use the bathroom. She had just gotten out and was going to re-enter the cafeteria, when she heard some muffled noises coming from a nearby janitor's closet.

"What the-…'Ember said as she opened the door.

To her surprised, she saw that it was Star and she was crying. She was sitting on the floor, hugging her knees and she was too deep in her tears, she didn't even notice that the door opened yet.

"Star…"Ember said in shock and that got the blonde's attention.

"A-AMBERLINE!...W-What are you doing here?...'Star said in shock as she got up and tried to wipe away her tears, make it look like she wasn't crying.

"I heard some noise and…are…are you alright?...'Ember asked, feeling a little strange as she saw Star's face quivering a bit.

"Why would you a-ask that?..."Star was stuttering now.

"Because you were crying and…Star, what is going on?...'Ember asked, feeling a little worried right now.

She saw Star break down again, crying and blubbering that Ember could barely understand a coherent word. Ember was completely lost but she wasn't moving. She didn't want to leave the blonde girl alone like this.

"Paulina…She…Me…I didn't…Wah…."Star let out and Ember soon found herself being clung by the weeping blonde.

Feeling freaked out and little sorry, she, not even realizing it, tried to calm her down.

"What did Paulina do?...'Ember asked, getting a clue but still needing details. Star, still tearing but a little calmer, spoke up to the auburn haired girl.

"Well, it all started like this…" Star started, beginning her sad tale.

FLASHBACK

About 20 minutes ago

Paulina was in a very foul mood. All day the entire school was obsessing over her rival Amberline Lain and Paulina looked like she was going to bite someone's head off.

"I can't believe this is happening to me…" Paulina growled.

"Look Paulina, I know the party is a bust but we can still turn this around…"Star started, hoping to ease her temper.

"And how exactly can I do that?...'Paulina demanded.

Start flinched, and tried to think of something plausible in order to satisfy her BFF.

"You're still the queen of the A-Listers and we still have your campaign video…Maybe we could get one of the nerds to remix it?...'Star suggested.

"Star are you even awake?!..."Paulina shouted, causing the blonde to flinch at her tone..."The entire school is nuts about Lain and see her as some rock star and all you can suggest is a dumb remix video….'Paulina spat.

"It…It was just a suggestion…"Star said weakly.

"Well until you come up with a good suggestion, I don't want you to talk to me…"Paulina said, causing Star to gasp.

"What? But what did I do?...'Star asked.

"Prom is this close and I will not lose my crown to that puta new girl, I need to get the competition back on me..."Paulina said and then sent Star an accusing look.

"You do want me to win don't you?...'Paulina asked.

"Of course I do, you're my best friend Paulina…"Star said seriously.

"Really, since if by some chance I don't win, the crown would be for either you or Lain…." Paulina said with an accusing glare.

"Paulina, I would never…I didn't even want to run…"Star said, not liking what Paulina was implying.

"Good, since no one would vote for you when I am in the competition, you are doing yourself a favor by not getting your hopes up…"Paulina said, not knowing or caring how much those words stung.

"But Paulina, I-…"Star was ignored as Paulina only walked away to talk with the other jocks who were ogling her.

Star only stood there stunned, unable to believe that Paulina was doing this to her again. Whenever something didn't go away, Star was always the first one she either vented too or took her anger out on. Ever since she was nominated for the Prom, no matter how much she tried to insist to Paulina that she wasn't against her, Paulina still had to tell her that she would never win anyway. She was used to this but now she was acting like this entire thing was her fault Lain wrecked the party. She knew Paulina had a temper, that she wasn;t a very patient person but they were supposed to be friends yet she was acting like Lain being in the lead was her fault when it wasn't. Star had done everything Paulina asked her to do, she had been the perfect BFF to her but it still wasn't enough.

Nothing she did was ever enough for her.

Memories of being left at the mall after the encounter with Lain, Paulina dismissing her suggestions and then taking the credit for her ideas, amongst many other things came crashing down, along with another thing.

"Star, this isn't how friendships work or life in general...I keep telling you that you shouldn't be doing this..."Valerie voice rang in her mind, along with another voice.

""Why are you even friends with her anyway?..." Lain's voice echoed in her head.

Star felt her eyes begin to water and she boled to the nearest closet she could find. Once in there, she closed the door and let the tears finally fall, happy that no one was here to see her like this.

End of Flashback

Present time

Now here was Star, in the janitor's closet, hugging Amberline like she was some old childhood toy as she kept crying. The auburn hair girl didn't even had the heart to pull away.

"Paulina really said that?..."She asked, unable to believe her own eyes as Star kept crying.

"She did…Nothing I do is ever enough for her…'Star cried even louder.

"Hey, don't say that…She had no right to say that to you…You didn't do anything wrong…"Ember said, trying to get her to stop crying.

It was so weird but she did feel sorry for her. She knew what it was like to be verbally abused by a mean girl and she realized just now that was what Paulina was doing to Star. It wasn't that they had a fake or at least a rocky friendship. Paulina was really mistreating her, worse than Ember even imagined.

"For years, I did everything she ever asked me…I helped planned her parties…I dressed according to her code…I dated guys only she approved of…I even kept her secrets that no one else knows and it's still not enough for her…"Star kept crying.

"Star, you have to calm down…"Ember urged, trying to undo this somehow.

"I thought that she at least could trust me but nothing, I did everything for her and I even made sure no one knew of the bourbon she hides in her diet cola…'Star was on autopilot and didn't even realize what she said when it was too late.

Once aware, she gasped and covered her mouth, hoping that Amberline didn't realize what she said. It was too late; the auburn haired girl only had wide eyes in shock.

"No…I didn't say t-that…"She tried to change the subject but it was too late.

"Paulina's drinking?...'Amberline asked in shock.

She suddenly recalled Paulina sometimes pulled out what she thought was a bottle of diet cola and would drink it during lunch…and she noticed she had a different demeanor after drinking it.

"Oh my gosh…"She exclaimed, unable to believe this.

Brining alcohol to school grounds was a huge violation and Paulina was a minor and could get in serious legal trouble. Suspension or expulsion was some of the few things she might face if the teachers found out about that and she knew not even her dad would be able to buy out of that.

"Wait…If Paulina gets suspended…then she can't compete…."Ember thought but soon found herself eye to eye with a very desperate Star.

"You can't tell anyone about what I said…"Star said serious.

"But-…"She was cut off by Star's tears.

"I'm begging you…You can't tell a single living soul…I'm the only person who knows about this…If this gets out, Paulina will know it was me who spilled the beans…So you can't tell anyone…"Star pleaded again.

"But Star, Paulina…"Ember started but stopped when she saw Star's eyes. She wasn't asking her to look out for her friend. She was something she didn't expect to see in the blonde girl's eyes.

She saw fear…

"Please…I'm begging you…You can't let anyone know about that…If Paulina finds out I told you…I'll be ruined…"Star said as she kept crying.

"I'll do anything but please…don't tell anyone…"Star begged once more.

Ember was completely petrified. For weeks she had tried to goad Star for information against Paulina, making her question their friendship but now-

'She's a mess…'Ember thought as she felt a strange wave within her.

She could easily use this to finally ruin Paulina, get rid of her and easily take the crown but she also knew that Star would be in an even worse place with the spoiled brat. Ember was stunned as she finally realized what was wrong with Star. It wasn't that she delusional and thought that she and Paulina were friends or even faking it to keep her popularity.

Star was actually afraid of her.

She knew that the A-Listers were jerks and Val had told her about how they treated her when she was kicked out. It seems Star was afraid the same thing would happen to her if she went against Paulina.

Ember honestly couldn't believe this was happening, she could use this to get Paulina disqualified but-

What would happen to Star?

Ember suddenly had a thought that if Paulina only gets suspended, she would eventually come back and she would signal Star out for letting the news out. She could see Star losing her popularity and being an official target by Paulina and the other A-Listers. She imagined Paulina would orchestrate every one of her followers into turning against the blonde out of revenge. She also saw that Star seemed to have pretty thin skin, she would probably crumble and break if that happened.

Ember has seen it before…she lived it at one time.

She knew firsthand how unbelievably vindictive and cruel a mean girl could be. She saw Star and sighed, unable to believe what she was about to do.

"Stupid pity…"Ember internally growled.

"Fine, I won't say anything…"Ember said.

"You swear?..."Star said seriously.

"Yes, I swear that I won't tell anyone about Paulina's illegal actions, no one will hear about it from me…"Ember said, unable to believe it but she knew she had no choice.

Star was absolutely pitiful and even she didn't think she had it in her to do it with the blonde girl being like this.

"Thank you…"Star said with a sigh of relief and wiped away her tears.

"Uh…So, can we forget that this ever happened?..."Star asked, referring to her crying fest.

"Fine, whatever…"Ember said before leaving.

She still couldn't believe it. She finally had the right amount of dirt to finally destroy Paulina and she can't even use it. Before, she probably wouldn't have cared and she would have rushed to find Mr. Lancer and tell him without a moment's notice but now-

Despite everything, she couldn't use this information no matter how much she wanted to. At least not with Star being a total mess like this.

"When did I become less bitchy?..."She asked to herself.

She suddenly felt her stomach growling and remembered that she only has 20 minutes left of lunch time. She quickly rejoined her friends in the cafeteria and didn't tell them of what went down.

She did promise she wouldn't tell anyone.

At the school library

Jazz Fenton was in the middle of working on a term paper on the effects of ghost envy. It was an extra credit assignment and the topic could be about anything related to science, so she decided to do it on that.

She already has the topic and hypothesis planned out, now she needed to find some examples.

"Now where is it? I know it's around here someplace…"Jazz said as she tried to find the book she was looking for called unusual cases of psychology.

"There it is…'She thought as she took the book from the high shelf.

She was going to check it out when she heard some muffled noises. Curiosity getting the better of her, she followed it and soon saw that it was one of the teachers Mrs. Murray looking in a book.

"What's Mrs. Murray doing?..."Jazz thought.

She knew that it was rude to eavesdrop, so she was going to greet the educator, only to hear this.

"You really have to let go AJ…She's dead and she's not going to come back…"The teacher said in a sad voice.

"What? Who's dead?...'Jazz thought in alarm but tried to calm down.

Regaining her composure, she decided to be direct.

"Hello Mrs. Murray…"Jazz said, keeping her voice as to not disturb the other patrons in the library.

"Oh hello, Ms. Fenton, how are you?..."The teacher said as she discreetly closed the book, which Jazz noticed was a yearbook.

"I'm fine, so what are you doing?..."Jazz asked out of curiosity.

"Well I am on break and I guess I got a little…nostalgic…"She said as she referred to the book.

"So you attended Casper High?...'Jazz asked, getting a clue.

"Yeah back in the dark ages known as the 80's…"AJ said with a chuckle.

"Really?..."Jazz said.

"Yes, graduating class of 1988…"The educator said…." Anyway, what brings you here?...'She asked.

"Oh I have a term paper to make, it's all about ghost envy…"Jazz explained.

"Ghost envy?..."The teacher questioned.

"It's a state where a person expresses feelings of jealously, anger, anguish, or general envy towards ghosts …" Jazz explained.

"Sounds fascinating…"AJ said.

'Anyway Ms. Fenton, it was nice talking but I really should be going, class will be starting soon…"The teacher said.

"Alright, see you around Mrs. Murray…'Jazz said as she watched the teacher march off.

Though she couldn't help but notice that the book the she had been nose deep it said "Casper High 1977" instead of 1988.

Before Jazz could do anything, she noticed that class was about to start soon, so she went to check out her book and decided to wonder about this later.

Later

At Fenton Works

Ember was at Danny's house. They had finished their math homework and were now just goofing around. They watched TV and Ember was practicing some chords on the guitar Danny loaned her.

"New song?..."Danny asked.

"Bits and pieces, it's a work-in-progress…"She shrugged.

Well, I like it so far….I can't wait to hear the full version…"Danny said as he watched her play.

She looked so peaceful and happy when she played on her guitar. Danny couldn't help but notice how her eyes sparkled when she smiled or how big her grin got when she started to pop some moves as she played.

He was noticing a lot more stuff about her lately.

He noticed that she was pretty tall, especially with the pumps she was wearing. He always knew that she was really pretty too. Amberline hair was in a braid and he thought it looked really cute on her. She was also wearing a black top and jeans that showed off her figure.

"Hey Danny…"She called, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Uh, yeah…"Danny said sheepishly.

"Sorry to interrupt your daydreams, but you mind if I get a soda…" She asked.

"Uh sure, can you grab me one too?...'Danny asked.

"Sure thing…"She said as she sent him that smile he really liked.

"Man, she's cute…" He thought in fondness and realizes what he just let cross his mind. He accepted that she was pretty and cool because….

She really was.

She soon returned and they were on the couch, drinking soda and Danny wanted to talk to her again.

"Anyway, I'm really happy to know that soon you'll beat Paulina…'Danny said and noticed that she flinched a bit.

"What do you mean?..."She asked a little too quickly.

"I mean in the contest, you said that your in the lead thanks to the concert…"Danny explained.

"Oh yeah, uh thanks…"She said, trying to change the subject.

"Is everything alright?...'Danny asked.

"I'm fine…"She said evenly.

"Amberline, if anything happened, you know you can talk to me, right…"Danny said honestly.

"I know and I told you it's nothing to worry about…just…girl stuff…"She said vaguely.

Danny decided to let it go after that. Amberline soon went back to practicing on her guitar.

"That guitar looks really good on you…"Danny commented.

"It sure does…I almost don't want to let it go…"She said as she strummed the beautiful instrument.

"Then don't…'Danny said.

"What do you mean?...'She asked in confusion.

"You can keep it if you want…'Danny said honestly.

"What? Are you serious?..." Amberline exclaimed in shock.

"Totally serious, I already asked my dad and we both agreed that it's not fair to let it keep gathering dust in the attic…You're really talented and I know you'll treat it right…'Danny said smiling.

"But Danny…I can't accept this…"She said in flusters.

"I insist…This belongs with you and your going to need it when you do your first sold out show…"Danny encouraged.

"You really believe in me…"Amberline said softly.

"I do..."Danny said as he placed his hand on her shoulder and looked in her eyes.

"You're a good singer and I won't get off your back until you accept that it's your guitar now…"Danny said with the most serious look in his eyes.

Before he knew it, he found himself pulled into a tight hug with Amberline who was smiling a mile wide.

"Oh thank you Danny! This is the most thoughtful gift I ever got…"She said as she hugged him even tighter and Danny was grinning silly.
"I'm glad…"Danny said.

Before she could stop herself, Ember kissed him on the cheek, stunning Danny silent and herself once she realized what she did.

"Uh…That's my way of saying thanks…"She said, feeling a little awkward.

"Uh…You're welcome…"Danny said, rubbing the back of his neck.

To be honest, he didn't really mind that she kissed him on the cheek. He didn't mind it at all.

"Anyway, thanks again Danny…I think I should be heading out…"She said, trying to change the subject.

"Huh, oh…It's almost 9…"Danny said as he glanced at his watch..."You sure you don't want me to drop you off?...'He asked.

"Not necessary, I have a ride…See you tomorrow…"Amberline said as she gathered her things and her new guitar and was soon out of the door.

'Okay, see you…I'll text you…'Danny called and soon she was gone.

Once outside, Amberline ran to the closest ally and made sure that no one was around.

"Time to get home…'She said as she changed into her ghost form, made sure to used part of her essence onto her new guitar to make sure that it doesn't faze away once she was in the ghost zone, just like she did with all her other stuff.

Once done, she used teleportation and she was out of there.

In Ember's realm

Once there, the ghostly diva immediately plop on a nearby sofa and let out an audible sigh.

"Man, what a day…"She groaned as she felt dizzy.

Today was like some kind of roller coaster ride of unpredictability. It start great with her being in the lead for prom queen, but then the thing with Star…her discovering a lot of juicy dirt on Paulina and her promising NOT to use it just because it would ruin what remained of the blonde girl's social life.

"I still can't believe I'm doing this…"She sighed.

Like it or not, Ember did promise and she didn't want to break any promises, especially with prom being so close and she was still in the lead. Despite everything, she didn't want to be remembered for breaking a promise by anyone.

"Since when?...'Come through her mind.

"What?...'Ember said as she looked around, feeling a little strange.

Chalking it off as nerves from all of her drama, she noticed her usual guitar was still on her coffee table and she decided to go put it away, however once she touched it, she felt another surge of power.

"Another power boost…'Ember muttered.

Ember felt a yawn and decided to get some much needed sleep. Tomorrow was another day after all. As she laid on her king size bed, she allowed the need of sleep to take over and she did not notice that her old guitar started glowing a bit.

In Ember's dream

Ember didn't know how she got here. She was in some white room that seemed to go on forever.

"Where am I?...'She thought as she tried to find her way out. Ember kept walking until she noticed a door that appeared out of nowhere. She opened it and she saw that it was her ghostly guitar inside.

"How did my guitar get here…"Ember said as she reached for it. However, something she couldn't predict to happen just happened.

"Finally…"A voice suddenly said.

Ember looked around and saw no one.

"Who's there? Show yourself…'Ember said as she got defensive.

"Over here…"The voice said and Ember turned to see her guitar that was glowing red.

"What?...'Ember voice and looked at her guitar and realize that it was trying to communicate with her.

"What do you want?...'Ember asked her old weapon/instrument.

"Oh, so you finally decide to use me again? What took you?..."The spirit of the guitar said in annoyance, in a voice that was identical to Ember's.

The red out turned blue and a shadow like creature then joined. The creature was shaped just like Ember as well.

"What are you?..."Ember demanded, getting freaked out.

"I'm the part of you that you forgot when you decided to do your scam…"The creature said.

'What scam?...'Ember demanded, feeling angry.

'This one…"The creature said as it suddenly transformed into Amberline Lain.

"I'm Amberline Lain and as far as anyone else knows, I'm a human girl who wants to be famous…"The creature said in a mocking voice before changing back.

"What do you want?..."Ember demanded.

"I just can't understand somethings, you were able to rock out to over 200 students and yet you used that cheap old guitar that the dipstick gave you…'The creature spat.

"His name is Danny and I couldn't use my own guitar for the party, if I did, Danny would have recognize it…"Ember said to the instrument.

"So, you would have gain 10 times more power at that point and you could have fought him if he caused trouble…"The creature said.

"What? No! I couldn't do that…"Ember shouted.

"Why not?..."The creature asked.

"Because he's my friend…'Ember said.

"No he isn't, if he was…You wouldn't be too scared to tell him who you really are…and besides, I thought our real goal was to become the most famous person on Earth and yet your wasting your time being part of some teen sitcom turn real…"The creature spat.

"I will still become famous one day but I…I don't want to force people to listen to me…"Ember said.

"Since when?..."The creature said acidly.

"Since I know now that I don't need to…I know I am a good singer and I can become a real singer…Sure, it won't be easy but I can make it…'Ember said, sounding confident.

"Well, what about your silly prom…All you have to do is tell Lancer about the dirt you got and you will win…"The creature pointed out.

"I can't do that…I promised Star I wouldn't tell anyone…'Ember said and the creature just rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah Star, the same person you tried to manipulate and use to your own advantage…"The creature said in a mocking tone.

"Hey I-…"Ember was cut off.

"You're a hypocrite. You only got involved with Star because you wanted to dish out some dirt on the competiton and now that you got it…You're too chicken to go through…"The creature said.

"You are a ghost Ember, and one of the most dangerous ones in the entire Zone. You used to be willing to do anything to achieve your goal but you're becoming soft…"The creature spat.

"No…No I'm not…I'm not soft…I just realized that maybe I don't need to do these things to get what I want…"Ember shouted.

'Oh please, you can easily win the bet by turning in Paulina and you can make your dream come true, all you have to do is do a little work behind the dipsticks back and it will be too late for him to do anything about it…"The creature whispered to her.

Ember paused as she thought about it. She already had gain a following of her own at Casper High. It wasn't the legion of fans that she always dreamed but they were people who actually liked her music and thought that she was awesome and she gained so much power from them. With her ghost guitar, she could easily multiply those numbers and power would inscrease and she might be even stronger than-

An image of Danny flashed through her mind, along with these words.

"You're a good singer and I won't get off your back until you accept that it's your guitar now…"Danny 's voice echoe.

Ember gasped as she recalled those words and she also remembered Star's crying eyes and pleading voice.

"Please…I'm begging you…You can't let anyone know about that…If Paulina finds out I told you…I'll be ruined…"The weeping voice echoed.

Ember was stunned until she regained her own control of herself and turned to the creature that represented her old desires.

"No…"She said softly.

"What?.."The creature asked.

"I said no…I'm not going to do that…Danny trusts me…Star trusts me…and I'm not going to betray them…."Ember said flatly.

"You really have become weak…"The creature said angrily.

"I don't care what you say….I'm not breaking my promise to Star and I'm not going to betray Danny…Even if our friendship might not be real…I…I CARE ABOUT HIM…"Ember shouted.

"AH!..." The creature was suddenly pushed away by the emotional diva.

Ember couldn't explain it but it was like a flood of power and emotions just erupted within her and she couldn't stop.

"I CARE ABOUT HIM…AND SAM…AND VALERIE…TUCKER AND EVERYONE ELSE! I'M GOING TO WIN BUT I'M GOING TO WIN THE RIGHT WAY! I'M GOING TO KEEP MY PROMISES AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO BE THAT MISERABLE BITCH WHO USED HIPNOTISM TO MAKE PEOPLE NOTICE HER! THAT'S NOT ME! NOT ANYMORE ANYWAY!..."Ember screamed, feeling power coursing through her ectoplasm.

The creature suddenly disappeared and the white room as well. Ember was all alone but she did not feel bad at all.

She knew she did the right thing here.

Ember suddenly jolted awake and looked to see that she was back in her own realm.

"What a weird dream…" Ember thought as she tried to calm herself.

She remembered that dream in vivid details but she had her resolve. She wasn't going to betray Danny or her friends.

'I promise that I'll do this right…"She said to no one but herself.

She was going to win prom queen fair and square, fulfil her promises and then leave. That was what she decided. It hurt but she wasn't going to destroy what little time she has with her friends by going back to being that bitter diva. She wasn't going to use her powers to make people listen to her music anymore. She wasn't going to deceive Danny into getting more power for herself. She wasn't going to use people to get ahead in the competition like she tried to do with Star.

She was done. She wasn't going to keep acting like a hateful, victory-obsessed diva.

She wasn't that person anymore.
