Chapter 50: Amberline loves Danny

The Next Day

Tuesday

(4 days before the prom)

Ember had woken up early, the memories of Kitty and Sam still fresh in her mind. The ghostly diva honestly didn't know what she could do, Kitty was still angry and Sam was giving her mix messages about Danny. It was really confusing and Ember just wanted it all to end so they could be friends and have fun again, just like before...

Kitty was her first real best friend and Sam was an amazing girl that she knew she didn't want to lose either of them...


FLASHBACK

About one year ago

Ember was beginning to tap her foot impatiently as she awaited for her best friend to arrive. She and Kitty were going to go shopping to the newest shop in the Ghost Zone called Haunt Topic.

"Where is she?..."Ember grumbled as she glanced at her watch, watching another minute pass... "That's it, if she's not here in 10 minutes, I'm starting without her..."She grumbled, though she didn't really mean it.

She didn't have any desire to shop unless Kitty was with her today, just because...because it wouldn't be the same for her.

She just hoped she come quick, she didn't want to miss any more of the Grand opening sale at Haunt Topic. Since the Ghost Zone was usually a dreary place, it wasn't often when something, like this happens, so she was really looking forward to it .Sure, if she really wanted to, she could have gone by herself but...well, shopping never seemed to be as fun unless she was doing it with Kitty.

Sure, she still liked getting new clothes but unless Kitty was there to share gossip with her, compliment or criticize her wardrobe choices, make jokes against some of the less appealing styles and so forth...it just got boring...

Thankfully, the diva didn't have to wait much longer, as the green haired biker babe finally arrived, a smile on her face even as Ember glared at her with her hands on her hips.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting like forever!...'Ember said in an impatient tone.

"Chill girl, Shadow was acting wild again and I had to make sure he and Johnny wouldn't get into too much trouble until I got back...'Kitty said with a shrug.

"Whatever...come on, it's the grand opening and I want to get there before all of the good stuff is taken..." Ember said.

"You don't have to tell me twice, I'm gonna shop until I drop...or until Johnny's wallet gets a heart attack..."Kitty said.

Ember's frown left and soon smirked at that, until a laugh escaped her lips. Even when she was like an hour late, Ember never really could stay annoyed at Kitty for too long.

Why? She still didn't understand, except for the possible fact that she actually liked the girl...

End of Flashback


Sure, it didn't seem like much at the surface, but before this entire portal incident, Ember had very, very few people that she could tolerate, much less call her friend. Sure, she had her admirers and the ghosts that feared her, but a person she actually genuinely liked and who liked her back, enough that she grew patient with their annoying traits and grew to appreciate their good ones.

That's always been Kitty, until she made friends with her human classmates, but that didn't make Kitty any less special to her and no matter what, she's still her best friend and no one can replace her.

How could they? There is no one else in the Ghost Zone or Earth that's like Kitty


Ember had changed forms to bathe and get ready for school, thoughts about school made her think about Danny, her campaign and even her friend Sam Manson too. Thoughts of the goth girl made her think about that...fight from yesterday?

Was it really a fight? Ember didn't know.

All she did know is that she didn't like the thought of no longer getting along with the goth girl she grew to genuinely like and appreciate over the course of the last 4 months of her existence. She just hoped that whatever that was happening to her yesterday is over...

She really liked Sam, maybe she wasn't as close to her as she used to be with Kitty but still, she knew that she liked the dark haired, mysterious, radical, nature loving vegan goth very much since she did something that only few people she came across manage to accomplish...

She got her respect...


FLASHBACK

6 weeks ago

Ember was in her Amberline form, talking with Sam in the hallway as they both continued to discuss strategies in order to get the attention away from Paulina and onto her...

Speaking of which, the spoiled girl strutted through the hallway, as if she was on the runaway, not helping with the fact that all the boys, sans Danny, were drooling over her like dogs over a pile of bacon.

"Just what do they even see in her anyway?..."Amberline asked as she watched two idiots literally walk into each other and fall to the ground, but they didn't take their eyes off the mean girl.

"That's the problem, they don't see anything IN her, all they see is what's on the OUTSIDE... If it had been the other way, she wouldn't get a second glance..."Sam said to the auburn girl who smirked at that.

She really did grow to like that kind of wit the dark haired girl possessed.

'At the very least, there is one who's immune..."She said as she watched Danny once again flat out reject Paulina, who didn't take it well.

"It took a while to open his eyes, but Danny can't stand her after finally seeing her for what she is, as shallow as a puddle...It shows he has some taste...'Sam said.

"Let's stop talking about her, it's just as bad as having be forced to talk to her..." Amberline said.

"You got that right..." Sam said in agreement.

"So did you catch the Kiss music video marathon on RockTV last night?...'Sam asked her friend with interest.

"You know it, as if I would ever miss it because..."Amberline paused before... "I love to rock and roll allllll niiiight...and party every day!~...'She sang before doing the famous Gene Simmons tongue.

"So do I..."Sam said as she imitated the girl, both doing the same trick.

The two girls then began laughing, feeling comfortable over their bonding of their love for the old school band KISS and their hatred of Paulina.

End of Flashback


Amberline finished her daily routine of beauty, took her book bag, purse, money and soon teleported.

In a few moments, she arrived to her typical spot, and soon entered the school. Once inside, she was greeted by her many admirers, the many people who were admiring her, calling her cool, beautiful and telling her that they would be voting her for prom queen as she went to her locker to get her books. Once there, Danny immediately went to greet her and they soon began walking and holding hands, which the other students noticed and got excited.

"Danny? Amberline? Rumor has it that you guys are going to the prom together, is it true?...'One jock said.

"Yes it's true, I asked Amberline last Friday..."Danny said as he put his arm around her, making the girl blush.

"AW! Say it's not so Danny...'Some of his fan girls whined sadly, while the guys looked jealous.

It's obvious that they wanted what they had.

"Sorry girls, but he's taken...'Amberline said as she gave Danny a hug, and non verbally told the fan girls to back off.

She didn't care if she was being too bold too soon, she loved Danny, he's her date for the prom and she was going to make these girls understand that.

"WHAT?!...'A loud, annoying voice shrieked.

Danny and Amberline turned to see an enraged looking Paulina stand there in anger and disbelief as she heard the announcement.

"Danny, you can't seriously be going with this loser, over me?...'Paulina shouted.

"She is not a loser, she's my prom date..."Danny said, making Amberline smile and Paulina scream.

"You are suppose to be MY prom date...'Paulina screamed again, irritating those around her.

"Get lost Paulina, he's taken and I suggest finding someone else to take you since Danny is going with me..." Amberline said smugly.

"Just wait until I win prom queen...I'm going to make you wish you never set foot in this school..."Paulina growled, but Amberline did not look intimidated, just annoyed.

"Oh please...Have you really not checked the online polls Paulina...someone here is in the lead by 85% and it's NOT you..."The auburn haired girl said sharply.

Paulina looked stunned, and almost looked worried before she settled on sending her rival a defiant, vicious glare instead.

"This contest isn't over yet Lain, I will be queen..."Paulina said before marching away dramatically.

"What a diva...'Danny muttered in annoyance.

"I have seen diva's before and believe me, they are nothing like her...'Amberline said.

"I believe you...so come on, Ms. Queen-to-be...may I escort you to class?...'Danny asked in a gallant voice and even did a gentleman bow to her.

"Yes you may, Mr. King to be..."Amberline said in between her giggles before leaving with him hand and hand.

When she holds his hand, she feels her heart beat faster, a deep, warm feeling wash all over her and she felt a silly smile on her face that wouldn't go away...and she didn't want it to go away either.

When she is with Danny, just holding his warm, strong hand...she just can't stop smiling...


Later

During science class

Amberline and Danny were in the middle of science class, their teacher which is once again Mr. Lancer, was busy explaining to them concepts, and Danny and her were partners, just like they have been for the last few weeks.

He was currently wearing his lab coat and goggles, just like her and the girl couldn't help but think he looked so cute, like a real scientist.

'He's so adorable~...'Amberline thought in a gushy kind of way as Danny tried to focus on the lesson.

"Okay, according to Lancer, the nitrogen compound generates the friction..." Danny paused, trying to recall the rest of it.

"And it causes the disposal of unwanted organism...'The auburn haired girl said, though her eyes were on the boy and not the lesson.

"Correct again...wow, Amberline...it sure is great having such a smart lab partner..."Danny complimented her as he wrote the rest of what she said down.

As he did so, Amberline continued to send him enamored looks, and when no one was looking, he sent some to her as well.

"Oh Danny~..."The smitten girl thought as her heart kept on pounding, unaware that a pair of lavender eyes were watching them in a strange level of turmoil.

"Amberline...Danny...'The lavender eyed girl thought as she tried to focus on the lesson.


Later

During Free Period

The two teenagers decided to spend free period on the roof in order to avoid the high school paparazzi who were still all over them due to the fact that they were the most likely to be voted prom king and queen and everything. Once there, they finished what they had of homework as of late, and now decided to take a break just watching the clouds roll by.

They laid together on the roof, on a blanket Danny borrowed from the supply closet and now they were just admiring the cloud formations and just being so close to each other right now.

"That one looks like an elephant with wings..." Danny said as he pointed to one particular formation.

"I guess it does a little...Oh, that one looks like a clown with an afro..."She giggles as she pointed to the cloud.

"Man, I never knew just looking at the clouds could be fun...'She giggled.

It was almost as much fun as star gazing with him.

"Me, Tuck and Sam used to do this all the time when we were kids...there's just something pleasant and relaxing of just laying here, looking up and admiring the beauty of the sky..." Danny said in an almost poetic kind of way.

'Yeah...beauty..."She said but her eyes had glanced at him.

'Oh! That one reminds me a bit of Cujo…" Danny said as he pointed to a cloud in the shape of a puppy.

"Who-jo?..." Amberline asked.

"Oh, he's this ghost puppy I came across one time...he's cute but can cause A LOT of trouble, especially when he changes forms..." Danny answered... "But enough about that..." He said with a shrug.

"Hey, that one almost looks like a guitar..."Amberline said.

"Really, electric or classical?..." Danny joked.

'I don't know...it's like a guitar is all...'She said before laughing a bit at his silliness.

The two continued to laugh until their hands accidentally brushed against each other once again, making them stop and just look at each others eyes now. Amberline felt her heart beating and her face get warm as she continued to look into his eyes.

His big, beautiful, baby blue eyes that were always so kind and gentle looking, and she felt his hand on her hand...his big, strong, warm, but gentle hands on her hand.

David Parker had blue eyes too but they were absolutely nothing like Danny's. While David had a superficial kind of beauty, he didn't have any kindness in his heart and now that she can remember clearly her past, she knew now that there wasn't any kindness in his eyes either, only arrogance and pride, much like in Alexandria's eyes. Maybe that's the reason why they were a couple, they were both beautiful on the outside but hideous on the inside that they totally deserved each other.

But Danny isn't like David at all, and that's why Ember loved him so much now. Danny's beauty is in the most sincere way possible. Sure, he might not be too tall or muscular but he had a certain charm to him that once you notice, you can't get enough of. His gorgeous eyes that always had that twinkle in them when he smiles...and his smile, always so warm and welcoming just like right now...and the way he was looking at her right now, as if she's the most special thing in the world to him made her feel so...so...

"Danny..."Amberline whispered and noticed that he was beginning to lean forward.

She felt her heart vibrating right now as she knew what might happen, she closed her eyes and eagerly waited for it...However-

RING!

The school bell rang, signaling the end of free period and incidentally made Danny stop what he was doing before he even had a chance to do it.

"DARN IT!...'Amberline thought in frustration while Danny began to get up before he even had the chance to give her a kiss.

"We better head back to class...'Danny said.

"I know...'She thought, while on the inside she pouted.

She knew that Danny wanted to kiss her and she wanted to kiss him too and it would have been so perfect just now...why did that stupid bell have to ruin everything?!

She's been wanting to kiss him for days now, waiting for him to give her the chance, and she felt close to pouncing on him soon, but she can't do that. She wanted her first kiss with him to be special and romantic, something she and he would never forget.

"So Amberline, are we still up for the movie later today?...'Danny asked as he helped the girl up.

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it...'She said with a strange smile on her face as she recalled about their date for later today...and possibly another chance as well...

"Come on, I'll drop you off at Music appreciation and then I'll head to chemistry..."Danny said as he became invisible and grabbed her hand. He quickly flew her down stairs and left her at the entrance of her class, and not a second too soon before the final bell rang.

"Thanks Danny...'Amberline said as she kissed him on the cheek, making him smile all goofy like.

"Anytime...I can't wait for later...'Danny said with a silly grin as he began to walk away but not taking his eyes off her yet.

However, because the fact that his eyes were on the girl and he nearly tripped over backwards over a wet floor sign on the floor and barely managed to regain his balance and thankfully didn't fell to the floor. Danny sent Amberline a sheepish, embarrassed look and hoped he didn't come off looking too much like a spazz…. Amberline just giggled and waved at him goodbye for now. Danny blushed and waved back before he turned the corner and soon left for his own class.

Even after he was gone, Amberline still felt her heart racing and let out a deep, happy, content sigh that only a person who has experienced love could understand it's meaning.

"Oh Danny...'She said happily as she went inside her class, but her thoughts never strayed from the adorable, dark haired boy,

It was just so ...so amazing to be in love with him.
