I'm sorry for the long time gaps between these last few chapters, I just wasn't inspired, strangely. Also, I was looking for the perfect song for Danny to sing, and now I think I found it!
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, Butch Hartman does. I do not own Stephanie the singing ghost, she belongs to the wonderful author who wrote The Song Curse! And last but not least, I do not own The One by Backstreet Boys
"(Tucker singing...)" "Danny singing..." "Both of them..."
"Stephanie?" Jazz was confused, how had she gotten all the way over here? One moment she was entering the ghost zone, the next Stephanie was starring at her like she had just seen a ghost.
"What do you want?" she sneered, she obviously didn't like Jazz, that, or she was getting really annoyed at people constantly coming to her for various reasons.
"You have to undo the spell you put on Amity Park, now!" The red-headed girl commanded as she spoke through the speaker.
"Now, why on earth would I do that?" the ghost said innocently. Jazz glared at her, this was wasting her time. Why Danny wanted her to do it, she had no clue. She pushed a button in the Specter Speeder and ecto guns emerged out pointed at Stephanie. Jazz reached over to the switch next to her and flicked it on. Stephanie's eyes widened as the guns were warming up, two small balls of light growing bigger as the noise got louder.
"Okay, okay!" She yelled, waving her arms. The teen in the vehicle grinned in victory as she shut down the guns. The two ecto-guns folded down and were pulled back into the speeder. Then each of Stephanie's hands was covered in a purple smoke as she carefully swayed her arms in front of her. The purple smoke on the specter's hands turned red and she sighed.
"I'm sorry, kid. It didn't work." Stephanie announced the smoke fading from her palms.
"What do you mean it didn't work?" Jazz asked.
"I accidentally made it so that the spell would only be broken if there are people in the Christmas Spirit." She explained.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You ready?" 'Santa' whispered turning to Tucker. He nodded, his hat jingling with it. The raven-haired teen looked over the crowd, as he stood there waiting, waiting for the spell to kick in. Danny grinned in delight as he felt the familiar sensation taking over his body...
"I'll be the one..." Danny sang as he strummed the guitar uncontrollably. His eyes were mesmerized, starring at the beauty of a teenaged girl, standing by the punch bowl, wearing a black dress.
"I guess you were lost when I met you
Still there were tears in your eyes
So out of trust and I knew
No more than mysteries and lies"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam's Point Of View
I was still disappointed that Danny never did sow up to the party, but I'm pretty sure that there is a good reason for his absence. The man on the stage keeps on starring at me as if his eyes were a magnet as he sang one of my favorite love songs. I also was keeping my eyes on him, as were all the people in the crowd during the performance. His crystal blue eyes glistening in the stage light, I could feel myself starting to blush uncontrollably from my own thoughts. There was something about the way he was starring that looked familiar to me, something that I can't put my finger on, but all I know, it was in his eyes...
"There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night"
He stretched out his arm and pointed in my direction as he sang, was he pointing at me? Or was it just a coquincidence? But that would be creepy, some old guy, dressed in a Santa Claus suit, that I never knew, singing...for me.
"I'll be the one"
"(I'll be the one)" Tucker sang as back up.
"Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light"
"(I'll be the light)"
"When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one...
To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright
'Cause my faith is gone
And I want to take you from darkness to light"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean by the 'Christmas Spirit'?" The eldest Fenton asked, there are some different ways you can be in the Christmas Spirit, but there was one certain one that they needed to break the spell.
"Love..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There you were, wild and free
Reachin' out like you needed me
A helping hand to make it right
I am holding you all through the night"
Whoever this guy was, he was a great singer, that or he was another person to have caught the spell. I took another sip out of my punch and set it down on to the table. I started to make my way through the crowded area to get a better glimpse of him, but with no luck. Dash, Kwan, Paulina and crew were blocking it from any "losers" getting into the front. If only she knew how rich I was and the fact that I owned this place, she would be nicer to me, but only because of my money. Besides, who needs popularity when you have great friends like the ones I have.
"I'll be the one"
"(I'll be the one)"
Having to get into the front, I went down on hands and knees, crawling between the legs of people I do and do not know.
"Ew..." I whined as I pealed a piece of already chewed gum. About to toss it behind me, I found the perfect new home for the sucker when I saw a familiar pair of shoes in front of me. I carefully stuck it there as I passed them, snickering.
"Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light"
"(I'll be the light)"
I pushed myself up from the floor once I was right in front of the stage where he was singing. His eyes still glued to mine.
"When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one..."
The singing man knelt down right in front of me, our faces almost a foot apart as he still sang into the microphone, looking at me straight into my eyes...
"You need me like I need you
We can share our dreams comin' true"
Oh my god...this is weird!
"I can show you what true love means
Just take my hand, baby please!"
I took a step backwards, stumbling over other people's feet as his arm reached out for me. What a creep! Or my stupid mother told him to do that. I looked again at his pleading face, like a cute little puppy. He stood up, not moving from his spot, eyes still glued on me.
"I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run..." 'Santa' and his 'Elf' sang together, separate microphones.
"I'll be the one"
"(I'll be the one)"
"Who will make all your sorrows undone
I'll be the light "
"(I'll be the light)"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love?" The red-headed teen thought for a moment, tapping the point of her finger on her chin. Then something clicked in her mind. "Danny..."
She turned the Specter Speeder around quickly to try to find a way back to her house.
"See ya!" Stephanie called behind her, and she back sat down on to the floating landscape scanning her nails. She heard the sound of an engine and looked up to see the Specter Speeder next to her. The door slammed open and an arm came out, grabbing Stephanie, and pulling her into the vehicle.
"Now I'm going to find a way out of this endless universe and you're going to help me!" The driver announced, still keeping her eyes glued to the non-existing road. Stephanie tried to fly out, but was always pushed back in from the ghost shield surrounding the speeder.
"Take a left here!" Stephanie yelled, pointing to a floating door. Jazz steered the wheel towards the door and ended up in front of the Fenton's portal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"When you feel like there's nowhere to run
I'll be the one..."
It's nice to know that people actually like you, people your age or a little younger. But when they're older and much, much, MUCH older, then that's just creepy. I really hope that it's not the deal with this guy. I wish Danny was here...eh, random thought.
"I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I'll be the one
I'll be the light
Where you can run
To make it alright
I"ll be the one"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazz stepped out of the Specter Speeder, keeping the ghost shield on so that a certain ghost couldn't escape. Walking over to a desk, she picked up the Fenton Ghost Fisher and started to unwind some of the string. Then she put the end of the string in her mouth to try and break it apart with her teeth.
Jazz walked around to the other side of the speeder, where Stephanie was sitting, tying it around her wrist like a leash.
"What do you think I am, a dog?" the female ghost sneered, Jazz ignored it and they ran up the stairs, to Sam's house.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To hold you
And make sure that you'll be alright.
I'll be the one..."
The crowd clapped as he ended the song wonderfully. I turned away after it ended, going back to the punch bowl, where I had spent most of the night wondering where the heck Danny was when he said four words that made my heart skip a beat.
"I love you, Sam..."
