Sleepover

Chapter 12: Dancing lessons

A/n: Okay, here's another list of things.

1. You are all lucky that this chapter is prewritten so it won't be all sad. I broke up with my boyfriend Friday… so right now I'm trying SO HARD not to make chapter 14 sad. Buuuuut I'll get over it.

2. Apparently, Surge really IS a drink. (Eyes widen) Whoooooaaaaa… I probably saw it before… maybe THAT'S why I put that name down.

3. Reviewer responses, just read through them;

a. YES I SAW IDENTITY CRISIS! AAAAHHHH! I LOVED IT! That's my new favorite episode! Lol I love Super Danny! "I'm… DANNY PHANTOM!" "Curse this messy room! This looks like a job for… THE VACUUM CLEANER!" "I'm more than okay! I'm… DANNY FENTON!" lol "Did someone say… SUPER?" and Sam's like, "Someone kill me…" OMGSH! YOU JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA FOR A CUTE ONESHOT! I LOVE YOU! AAAAAHHHHH!

b. Well, I'm just pretending that Sam has a gag reflex to seeds like I do… and they were Cherry seeds, which you'll find out later.

c.(frown) Hurricane Rita? I know I already went psycho over that on DPO, but still BE CAREFUL! And, I will check out that new fic Angel of Death.

d. And yes, everyone else, Paulina is a diabolical scheming, evil, lowlife, idiot.

4. Ha ha ha ha ha, I might get kicked off of Danny Phantom Online, that's great. I was yelling at some guy for putting his made up quotes in the section for the SHOWS quotes lol. You should read about it!

5. I know it's to soon for me to update... but I got a review for the last chapter within MINUTES of updating! You all have no IDEA how awesome that it to me.

6. And I know there's a chunky paragraph at the beginning... but you all can deal.

Okay, I'm done. That was long… SMOOTHIES FOR ALL. (starts singing the dance I talk about in here…)

Sam was sent home that day. Apparently, there's a rule that if you almost choke to death you can go home early.

However, Sam was beginning to think she should have stayed in school the rest of the day. Now, the moms were freaking out and tending to her every whim like their were maids (she didn't mind that so much, they were just poking their heads in her room every five seconds, preventing her from sleeping), next she had Ember scolding her on being more careful on what she ingests ("You can't win if you're dead!" seemed to be the motto of this contest for her. "People are going to try to illuminate you from the contest so check everything for traps!"), and then her dad decided to come up and tell her every single thing he learned about Ghosts and Ghosts Hunting from Danny's dad ("There's not going to be a single Ghost alive that'll get into our house!" he told her. "Dad…" Sam said. "Ghosts are dead." He grinned at her. "And their gonna stay that way if they try to come into our house again!"), he even showed her an invention he helped invent. It was called a Fenton Ghost House Scanner, and it could detect a Ghost in any room of the house. ("We'll put it in your room since that Ghost boy seems to like to haunt it.")

Oh yes, rest and relaxation all day long.

Just when Sam finally got to sleep for about five minutes someone knocked on her door. She moaned, "Can you guys let me sleep for five minutes?" she asked annoyed.

The door opened and Danny stepped in. He started laughing. "Maybe I shouldn't have knocked this time. You wouldn't have bit my head off.

Sam sat up and turned around, since she was laying on her stomach. She scooted back and leaned against his head board. "School's out already?" she asked.

He nodded and sat down at the foot of the bed. "Brought your homework." he said, tossing a book by her feet. "We have to read this by next week, write a report about it, and draw something to illustrate your favorite part in it." Next he placed three sheets of paper ontop of the book. "And these are worksheets."

She looked at the papers and sighed. "Can't they ever give us a break?" she asked, picking up the book and flipped through it. "Romeo and Juliet… joy…" she said sarcastically.

He shrugged and stood up sighing. "Whelp," he yawned. "I'd better get started on my own homework." he turned to her. "Ember told me to tell you that the judges told her to tell you that you need to tell them that Ember told you that I'm going to be your host."

Sam blinked. "…what?" she asked.

He grinned and started laughing. "Just tell the judges I'm your Host, okay?" he laughed.

She rolled her eyes and nodded. "Mmkay."

Sam took a step back and examined her work. She decided to blow off homework for once and decorate Danny's 'room'. She still had 2 days to complete her homework since she was sent home 'sick' so there was no point in doing it now.

Once she was satisfied with the Giant House of Heroes poster on the wall she smiled again and walked out of the room.

Ember clapped her hands in a continual beet. "Come on Sam! Pick up the pace! One two three four, one two three four, one two three fo- no… no stop, stop… STOP!"

Sam sighed heavily and glared at her. "What NOW? I got the stupid steps down." she said.

Ember glowered and stalked over to her. "You have the steps but you don't have the face. What's with the stupid smile? I told you MONOTONE! Don't look happy, don't look sad and-" she started to speed up her words and changed what she was going to say as Sam glared at her. "Don't you dare glare at me! Remember, I could walk out of this contest ANYTIME I want, but you have to stay in it. So be nice to me and I'll consider staying."

"Nothing stopping me from leaving ether." she said simply.

"Your pride's what stopping you, dipstick!" Ember glared. "And that's exactly why you're here learning the steps to the stupid dance instead of sucking face with fido over there." she pointed with her thumb behind her to Danny, who was sitting in the audience. He glared at the back of Ember's head since she was facing Sam, who was on the stage, and not him. They were currently "borrowing" the Ms. Teen contest stage. It paid sometimes to be able to go through walls, and to have a friend who can help you through them also.

"He's not my boyfriend!" Sam snapped.

"So you say." Ember said slyly. She then snapped out of it and returned to a glare. "But back to the problem. I don't want you to look like you want to be here, or you're enjoying being here. NO EMOTIONS AT ALL!"

Sam sighed heavily. "Well maybe if I actually had the stupid music…" she grumbled, crossing her arms.

Ember grinned. "You want music?" she asked. Suddenly blue flames erupted around her; once they went out her trademark fire-shaped electric guitar appeared in her hands.

Danny had the remote to her "necklace" and "Bracelet" in an instant. He pressed a blue button.

A wave of shock fell over Ember's body. "GAAAHHHH!" She screamed, falling to the ground. She crumbled up in a ball for a moment then, once the wave of surprise was over she jumped up. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?" She shouted, tugging at the necklace, and then biting at the bracelet.

"That would be the Fenton Ghost Jewelry. If you even think of picking that guitar up, I'll shock you again, or send you back into the ghost zone." he grinned, walked over to her and grabbing the guitar off the floor. He shot an ectoplasmic beam at it, making it blow up.

Ember glared at him and dove at his neck, hands outstretched. "THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL!" she shouted. Her fingers enclosed around Danny's neck, he kicked her off and with a press of a button she was enveloped with shock again. "GGAAAHHHHH!" she cried, flying backwards onto the ground comically, feet over her head and everything. She reached a twitching hand up and clamped it onto the stage, using it as a prop to pull herself up. She took a moment to regain her balance and get the frizz out of her hair- the part that wasn't made of flaming fire.

"You never specified that clearly." he grinned.

Ember glared at him and opened her mouth to chew him out when she suddenly realized…,

…She had nothing to say to that. No snappy comebacks, no insults, no rant of stupid names to call him. She glared at him menacingly, and then turned to Sam. "What are you standing around for?" She yelled. "GET TO WORK!" her voice reminded Danny of a pack of angry wolfs attacking a rival pack. He would had been scared maybe, if he couldn't shock her at any given moment.

Sam glared at Ember but started dancing none-the-less. Danny walked back to his old seat and sat down grinning at Sam. Suddenly he was up on his feet in ghost mode once again, floating around the ceiling. Sam looked up at him a few more times, and then fought back a small smile when she saw Danny stick his tongue out at her in a playful way.

He started dancing along in the air, turning around and shaking his butt at her then started to tango. That broke Sam's monotone-face-mask. She bursted out laughing and had to stop dancing to hold her stomach.

Ember snapped her around quickly to see what Sam was cracking up about. So quickly, in fact, that she cracked her neck. After wincing she looked at Danny expecting to see him with a clown mask or something, but all she saw was him as a human lounging around in one of the chairs looking back at her. She glared at him again and turned around to yell at Sam. "STOP LAUGHING! Get back to dancing!" she yelled.

With Ember's back turned, Danny shot up into the air as Danny Phantom again. This time he decided to do a dance they had learned during their Washington DC trip. With his hands on his hips, he patted the air in front of him with his right foot twice then behind him with the same foot twice. Then he swung his right foot in front of him like he was crossing his leg but had his left hand touch his boot. After this motion, he swept it over to his right side and touching his boot with his right hand. Then came the shimmy. Hands still on hips, he shimmied to the right, then put his left hand in the air and spun around moving to his left, then repeated the dance. What was the name of this dance again? He couldn't remember. He knew how the song went, well the tune. Not the words. (Where did you come from, where did you go? Where did you come I don't know. Where did you come from, where did you go?)

Sam recognized that dance immediately. A week after the trip one night Danny paid her a visit at 2 am hyped up on sugar. He danced it so many times and somehow got her to do it too. Personally, she thought he looked dumb dancing it but it was a fun dance to do, she'd admit it.

Without realizing it, she had started dancing too. Not the lame Ms. Teen dance, but the dance Danny was doing. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Ember shouted.

Sam snapped out of it laughing hysterically again. "Wha-? Oh!" she snorted and stopped dancing again.

Ember gave a cry of frustration and slammed her head into the stage as Danny flew over to Sam and began to tango with her.
