Stuck
Chapter 15: Girl Trouble
Previously
As the boys flew out of the house, they were unaware that a pair of green eyes had witness them from behind a bush.
A pair that belongs to one Colette Bevier who was stunned by what she has seen from across the street.
"Is that Danny Phantom...the attractive hero of the town and Danny's annoying male friend?...what are they doing here? And where is Estelle?...'Colette whispered as she used her binoculars and saw that her step sister was no where in sight in her bedroom, which is where she is suppose to be at this time.
It made the red haired girl suddenly smirk darkly.
"Hmm...seems Estelle has been a bad girl...magnifique..."Colette whispered in a sinister way.
Uh oh.
Stella Bevier was currently in her penthouse in Amity Park, feeding her infant son Pierre. She came back home early due to him getting fussy and Jean Luc called the limo to take them home while he finished doing his work.
So here she is, alone with her baby.
Her husband Jean Luc is still overseeing business with his clients and her step daughter Colette is currently out with her new friends she made at school today and she asked for an extended curfew tonight. Since it has been a tough transition moving to America and she has been on her best behavior, Stella allowed it.
Sure, Colette sometimes may do things in her own way, but she is a very sweet girl and she trusts her.
The mother soon started burping her son, who was now calm.
"There, all better..."Stella said as she then placed her baby in his crib.
Once done, she looked out to the window and saw the city of Amity Park.
She never told anyone this, but when she first moved here with her family years ago, she resented living in such a small town when she had been accustomed to the finer things of New York and later Paris. Now, she moved back by choice for one reason and one reason only.
Her daughter Estelle, or Star as she prefers to be called.
It's been almost 2 weeks since she nearly lost her for good, in both the literal and emotional sense but by some miracle, Star came back and gave her another chance...which is why she chose to come back with Jean Luc, Colette and Pierre.
Despite all of the mistakes she has made in her life, they are her family and she loves them all and she was happy that so far, things have been going well.
She and her daughter were spending time together again and her ex-husband hasn't made any more threats to terminate her visitation rights, which is a good thing.
Sure, Jean Luc and Colette made it clear that they missed Paris but she knew that in time, they would come to like living here and that this was the best decision for their family.
"Hmm...I wonder if Estelle would like to go with me to the new spa tomorrow?..."Stella thought as she was about to pick up her phone to start calling her daughter, only to suddenly hear loud crying.
"WAHHHH!..."Baby Pierre shouted as he began crying once more for his mother.
The blonde mother soon went to tend to her baby and sighed as she knew this was going to take a while.
"I'll call her tomorrow, besides she is probably busy right now..."She thought as she tried to calm her wailing son down, figuring that her daughter is fine right now, most likely enjoying her evening with her boyfriend as she has been lately.
Meanwhile
With Star
Star was not enjoying her evening and she was also not with her boyfriend.
It was pretty much the opposite.
She was having a lousy evening, being handcuffed to the very girl who A) hates her and B) has designs on her boyfriend!
"This stinks..."Star thought in frustration, before noticing something outside.
"I think it's stopped thundering outside..."Star commented.
"Like it makes any difference...it looks like it's going to be raining all night..."Sam muttered in annoyance and Star sighed.
"Well, we have already missed curfew, we're stranded out here with no cell service and there is no point in going out there to catch our death...might as well sleep this out until the storm clears up..."Star said.
"Oh, so typical..."Sam muttered under her breath.
"Excuse me?! What's that suppose to mean?..."Star demanded.
"Oh, nothing...I just figure you must be so tired and want to sleep instead of thinking up a plan on getting back home..."Sam said mockingly.
Star glared at that.
"What I meant was that we might as well save our strength for when we can actually use it...but if you have a better idea on how to get out of here right now, I'd love to hear it..."Star said sarcastically.
Sam just glared at her before turning away, nearly pulling Star's arm off due to the way she turned.
Star was not amused...not in the slightest.
"Don't give in Star..it's just what she wants...don't give her the satisfaction..."Star thought, trying to keep her temper under control.
"This is unbelievable..."Sam mumbled bitterly.
"Well, you better believe it because it's happening, whether we like it or not..."Star said sarcastically.
"Of all things...I can't believe I have to share a cabin with you... AGAIN!...And what's worse is that I can't even go to the farthest end of the cabin by myself! Darn it, I think I rather be chained to the Box Ghost!..." Sam shouted in annoyance and Star rolled her eyes at her complaining.
"This is no picnic for me either, Manson..." Star responded. "And while we're on the subject, if not my Danny-Boo, I'd rather be chained to Foley. True, he'd try hitting on me, but I'd take annoying over impossible to work with..."Star said.
"What did you just say?..."Sam argued and Star groaned in exasperation.
"That! All you have done tonight is yell at me or complain and quite frankly, I'm sick of it!..."Star said and Sam glared.
"And I'm sick and tired of you! What Danny sees in you, I'll never know..."Sam shouted and Star glared even harder.
"He sees his girlfriend in me, that's what!..."Star shouted and Sam glared even harder at that reminder.
Then, she got an idea. Sure, she should probably use this time to think of a way to get back home, but she is too deep in her argument with Star to think clearly.
"Oh, really...has Danny ever offered you... kiwi fudge milkshakes?..."Sam asked, expecting her to react with disgust.
Danny and Tucker make their own drinks that she always found gross, and she figured Star would too, which she could use as a sign that she doesn't know Danny as well as she thinks she does.
However, this was her response.
"And cheese puffs and bacon..."Star said with a shrug while Sam's jaw practically hit the ground.
"It wasn't as tasty as kiwi fudge but Danny did say it's an acquired taste...but what does that have to do with anything?..."Star asked in confusion and wondered what was going through the Gothic girl's mind.
however, she looked even angrier now for some reason.
"There's no way!..."Sam said.
"There's no what to what, Manson?! No way that Danny and I actually click, well we do...'Star said defensively.
"No! There is no way that you and Danny can be so..," Sam did not want to say it. "So..."
"Happy?"
Sam scowled at Star for saying that.
"You have nothing in common!..."Sam shouted
"Not true... on our first date, we learned a lot about each other. We found out we both enjoy playing video games, especially Crash Nebula, we laugh at the same jokes and we like the same music, along with a bunch of other stuff... True we have a few things different but I think we're a healthy blend of opposites attract and being two birds of a feather... lovebirds!..."Star said, emphasizing the last word.
Sam gritted her teeth.
"There is so way that some blonde, plastic bimbo just-
"SHUT UP!..."Star shouted.
"I am sick and tired of you insulting me and you know what else, I am sick and tired of having you and everyone else trying to get between me and my Danny-boo..."Star said in anger.
"There you go calling him that ridiculous name again! And what the heck are you talking about?..."Sam demanded.
"First, if you knew the story of how I came up with Danny-boo, you wouldn't think it's ridiculous! And second, what I mean is that you, Colette, and even if she doesn't realize it, Paulina, all keep trying to get in between me and my boyfriend and I have had it!...'Star said in anger.
Both girls were now glaring daggers at each other.
Aqua blue eyes then met lavender eyes as there was practically static and fire in their stares.
"Also, I know the real reason why you hate me...it's not because you think I am a weak link to the team or that you think that I will spill Danny's secret..heck, it's not even because I am a former A-lister and a cheerleader...the reason you can't stand me is because you're jealous!..."She shouted.
"Jealous? In your dreams! What would I be jealous about?..."Sam scoffed and Star growled.
"Because Danny asked me out instead of you!..."Star accused and Sam looked agape.
Yeah, looks like this girl trouble has gotten much, much worse now...
Back In Amity Park
With Danny
Danny has been flying none stop all over town to find Ember and make her bring Sam and Star back.
He and Tucker split up. He ordered Tucker to check the west side of the town on foot, while Danny searched the east side by air.
But so far, neither have experienced any luck and it was getting really late. He didn't care though, he just kept looking.
"Any luck, Tucker?..."Danny said over the Fenton Phones.
"No, not yet but don't worry...she has to be here somewhere, right?..."Tucker said.
"Just keep looking..."Danny said, feeling more worried for his best female friend and his girlfriend.
They have been missing for three hours now and he still hasn't found Ember yet.
"If anything happens to them, it's all my fault..."Danny thought in dread.
However, before he could think more about that, Danny got a quick message from Tucker.
"Danny! I think I found her!..."Tucker said quickly to his best friend.
"What? Where?!..."Danny begged.
"The Stadium down town!..."Tucker shouted and Danny sighed.
"Figures...hang tight, I'm on my way..."Danny said as he then flew as fast as he could in that direction.
He was determined to find Ember and give her a piece of his mind...along with some other things too.
