Hey, guys. How is everything? Things are okay, I guess. We got back from Boston yesterday, went to the Basketball Hall of Fame while we were there, and that was really cool. I'm a little depressed now because school starts tomorrow. Sighs Oh, well. The summer was fun while it lasted.

Here we go with Chapter 15! What will the heroes do now that they've discovered the secret behind the romance?

When Teen Heroes Collide

Chapter Fifteen: Searching for a Solution

Middleton, Wisconsin, Wednesday, 10:00 AM

Kim stared at Danny through the Kimmunicator, awestruck.

She said, "No way."

Danny responded, "Yes way. That note Ember, that's her name, by the way, blasted made some love spell that made Sam and Don fall in love with each other."

"It's Ron, Danny."

"Right, sorry."

"How do you know that this is a love spell working?"

Tucker chuckled at this, "Because Danny fell under it a few months ago. It made him fall in love with Sam. Well, not that he isn't now. She just enchanted the love so it distracted him from everything else."

"Was she affected by it back then?"

"No. She was wearing a pair of Fenton Phones. They drown out ghost noise so it didn't affect her."

Kim turned back to Danny and asked, "So how were you snapped out of the spell? Maybe we can use what we used then to snap Sam and Ron out of their own spell."

Danny held his head and said, "I seriously don't want to talk about this part. Sam was able to break the spell by pretty much breaking my heart, which meant kissing someone else."

Kim shuddered, "Who? Tucker?"

"No! Some bully at my school named Dash."

Tucker scratched his chin and said, "I don't know if this is gonna work like that this time around since the one that they're in love with isn't gonna kiss someone else or something like that."

Kim said, "Hmmm." Then she had an idea. She put Wade back on and said, "Wade, we need help."

Wade smiled, "I'm here to please."

"You still have Ron micro-chipped, right?"

"Kim, we've before discussed the ethics of…"

"Wade…"

"Yeah, I do."

Danny asked with a chuckle, "You have him micro-chipped?"

"Long story. Anyway, Wade, we need you to run a scan on him and see if there are is any somewhat paranormal activity going on inside of him."

"You got it." He started doing a bunch of typing like he always did.

After a few minutes, he said, "Okay. I think I've got something. Looks like some kind of special ectoplasm around his heart."

"What kind of special ectoplasm?"

"It's shaped like a bunch of hearts, that's all it looks like."

"And how do we negate the effects?"

"Just a minute." With that, he started doing some more typing. After a few more minutes, he turned back to Kim and said, "I think if you collect some special dust from a place in South Africa and drop it on them, it should destroy the ectoplasm inside of them."

"Then we're going to South Africa."

"Not right away, Kim."

"Why not?"

"This dust only shows up when the light of a full moon touches a special valley. And the next full moon is this Saturday night."

Danny said, "That's the night of the next Casper High dance."

Kim asked, "Is that your school?"

"Yeah."

Tucker asked, "What are the odds that Sam has probably asked Ron to it?"

Danny replied, "I don't want to think about it."

Kim asked Wade, "So what do we do until then?"

Wade responded, "Wait. That's it. I'll get you in a favor. Later, Kim. Danny. Tucker."

He logged off.

Kim said to Danny, "So Saturday night, I'll head to South Africa, get that dust, and cure Sam and Ron."

Danny replied, "No, Kim. I'm going with you too. This is my mission too."

"Danny, no offense, but I've had more experience than you in dangerous missions like this."

"Kim, I've defeated a knight who tried to use an ectostorm to take over the world."

"I've defeated a scientist who wanted to suck up the world's electric energy."

"I've fought off a ghost warden and his henchmen."

"I've gotten rid of a mutant dino-thing!"

"I've fought off a homicidal ghost hunter wanting my head!"

"I've disabled a weather machine that tried to attack Canada!"

"I've…" Just then, Tucker whispered something into his ear. Danny smiled and muttered, "Okay."

Then he started doing Kim's infamous puppy-dog pout.

Kim yelled, "Hey! You can't do the puppy-dog pout! That's mine!"

But Danny kept on doing it. Kim tried to look away, but couldn't keep her eyes off that sad look. She finally sighed and said, "Fine. You can come."

"Spankin'."

Madison, Wisconsin, Wednesday, 6:30 PM

"This cannot be happening," Vlad said in astonishment.

Shego responded, "It is, Vlad. Kim Possible and Danny Phantom have discovered the love stuff going on is part of Ember's spell. Did some spying, got the facts."

"Anything else?"

"They're going to find the cure Saturday night. Some kind of dust in South Africa."

"Oh, dill pickle."

Skulker asked Vlad, "So what do we do now? They're obviously going to try and pull the team back into stability."

"Not if we interfere. Everyone listen closely. We're going to take a look at Plan B. And I'm going to have to make another call."

Amity Park, Indiana, Thursday, 9:00 AM

For the first time since Monday, school was on for the day. Currently Danny and Tucker were walking to their next class. Sam was cutting school to be with Ron for the day.

As they walked, Tucker said to Danny, "Since I'm guessing Sam won't want to go to the dance with you on Saturday being in the state that she is, who else are you left with?"

"Tucker, I'm not even going to be at the dance, remember? I'm heading to get that dust with Kim."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that."

"And I'm guessing you're gonna try and ask just about every girl in school if they'll go, until one of them eventually cracks."

"You know me too well, dude."

"Also, while you're there, date or no date, just make sure Sam and what's-his-name stay there until Kim and I get back there."

"Okay, Danny."

"Hey, Danny," said a voice from in front of them.

They both looked ahead and saw Valerie Gray standing there. Valerie was a teenage ghost hunter, the weapons given to her by Vlad. She happened to like Danny Fenton, but she despised Danny Phantom with a passion, more than before now because he had revealed her hunting secret to her father, and she had gotten in trouble for it.

Danny answered, "Hey, Val."

"I was just wondering if, you know, if you wanted to go to the dance with me on Saturday."

Danny shook his head, "Sorry, Valerie. I already have plans for Saturday."

Valerie's face dropped, and then she asked, "What do you mean? Are you going with Sam?"

"No. It's something else. Maybe you'd like to go with Tucker?"

Valerie shrugged, "If he wants to."

But Tucker turned away and said, "Sorry. I've already got somebody. That person just doesn't know it yet."

"Okay, whatever. If…" Just then her cellphone rang. She said, "See ya later, Danny."

She walked away and flipped her cellphone open, and then said, "Hello."

A voice answered, "Hello, Miss Gray. This is Vlad."

"Oh, Mr. Masters! What is it?"

"I have news. I know where Danny Phantom is going to be on Saturday."

"You do? Great! I've wanted that ghost's head for a long time now. Where is he going to be?"

"In South Africa."

"South Africa! How am I going to get to South Africa?"

"Do not concern yourself, Valerie. I shall arrange a transportation for you."

"Thank you so much. Wait, why are you telling me this anyway?"

"Because I happen to dislike Danny Phantom as well and I want him out of the way as much as you do."

Valerie checked her watch and said, "Listen, could you give me details later? I have to get to class."

"Very well. I shall call after school."

"Thanks. Bye."

Madison, Wisconsin, Thursday, 9:05 AM

Vlad hung up his phone with a smile and said, "Perfect. They're both being led right into an ambush."

Duff Killigan walked up to Vlad and asked, "But how is Kim Possible going to be in danger too? This girl you've called isn't going to attack her as well, since she's not a ghost."

"This is merely to keep them busy, while we make sure things at the dance take an unexpected turn. Make no mistake, Killigan. We will come out victorious."

We're gonna stop here. Sorry, I have to be in bed in about ten minutes, so I have to stop now. Anyway, oh, geez. Now Vlad's setting a trap for our two heroes! Will they both be ready for it? And what is he planning to pull at the dance? We shall first wait until Chapter 16!
