Chapter 5: Moodulators

"I'm sick of you always hitting me!" Danny growled.

"Danny, I'm your friend, remember?" Sam was slowly backing away toward the barn window. "I'm just trying to help you."

Kim grabbed Tucker by the shirt, bringing him close to her face. "Where's Ron!"

"I don't know! He ran out with the naked animal!" Tucker closed his eyes, expecting the worst.

Chloe ducked behind a tractor as Clark went after her with a pitchfork. "Okay, Clark, you don't want to do this."

"You're always getting between me and Lana," he growled, "but with you out of the way, I'll finally have her without worrying about you."

Danny pushed Sam out the window, Clark threw the pitchfork at Chloe and Kim raised a fist to punch Tucker. Danny turned around, and Clark walked out of the barn just as the three of them changed moods once more.

"Chloe!" Danny shot a ray at the pitchfork so it veered off course and hit the hay.

"Sam!" Clark raced forward and caught the screaming goth girl.

When nothing happened, Tucker opened his eyes. Kim was watching him with a flirty smile on her face.

"Uh, oh." Tucker gulped.

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and came out from behind the tractor. "Thanks, Danny. I don't know how you did that, but I'm glad you did."

Danny was staring at her with a goofy smile. "You're cute when you're in danger."

"Uh, oh."

Sam released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "Thanks, Clark."

Clark smiled at her. "You're welcome."

There was a silence. "Um, Clark, you can put me down now," she said.

"I like holding you."

"Uh, oh."


Chloe, Sam, and Tucker locked themselves in a room in Clark's house away from the heroes.

"Okay, sure, I wanted a guy to like me, but not him," Chloe said.

"You and me both," Sam muttered.

"Where's that Ron guy? He said something about moodulators," Tucker said.

"Oh, Sammy, where are you?" Clark called.

Sam groaned. "This is just so wrong in so many different ways!"

"Hey, guys," Ron hissed. "Over here."

They turned around. "Ron!" Chloe bounded up to him. "Please, tell me you have a way to get us out of this predicament?"

"Um… Do I have to say it exactly like that?"

Tucker sighed. "We're screwed."

Sam began smacking her head against the door. "This is like Ember's spell all over again except instead of Danny fawning over me it's some guy I hardly know!"

"You enjoyed Ember's spell, didn't you?" Tucker was grinning.

Sam growled and punched him in the arm hard. "This isn't funny, Tucker!" She sighed and put her head in her hands. "First the three of them are crying like babies; second they try to kill us; now, they're in love with us!"


The three heroes were walking around looking for their "lovers", but their eyes suddenly glowed green and they stopped.

"Um…what were we doing?" Clark asked.

"I dunno… Whoa!" Danny suddenly phased through the floor into the room below.

Tucker, Sam, and Chloe screamed and ran into a corner as Danny dropped onto the ground.

"Ow," he muttered as he sat up. "Uh, hi… What am I doing here?" He glanced around. "Where is here?"

"Great, and now Danny's brain fell out," Sam muttered.

Chloe had just opened the door to find Kim and Clark standing in the doorway with blank looks on their faces. "He's not the only one…"


"Shego, stop playing with that and help me with the synthodrones!" Drakken shouted.

"Okay, okay!" Shego dropped the moodulator control on the table, never noticing it beeped and changed.


Danny, Clark, and Kim's eyes suddenly flashed pink for a moment. Without warning, Clark leaned forward and kissed Chloe.

"That's a bad sign." Sam looked toward Danny to find him staring at her with a goofy smile on his face. "Oh, no," she sighed, "not again."

"Oh, Ronny." Kim stepped over Tucker's cowering form as she walked toward where Ron was hiding at the top of the closet. "Don't make me come up there and get you," she purred.

Chloe gasped when Clark finally pulled away. She seemed a little dazed at first then shook her head. "Wait, this is wrong."

"What's wrong as long as we're together?" he asked, a dreamy tone in his voice. He walked forward as Chloe began to back away.

Sam slowly backed away until Danny had her backed against a wall. "D-Danny, w-what are you doing?"

"I want to be close to you." Danny still had the dreamy smile on his face, walking closer.

"Danny, I-I don't want to be close. Danny, please go away."

Danny stopped once he was a few inches away from her, still smiling. Before Sam could move, Danny kissed her.

"It's not fair!" Ron whined before leaping from his hiding place and running.

"Aw, Ronny, don't make me have to chase you!" Kim called, giggling.

"Come on, Clark, what about Lana?" Chloe nearly tripped as she backed away.

"Who's Lana?" he asked dreamily.

"I've been waiting to hear those words all my life."

Sam's eyes were still closed when Danny pulled away. She opened her eyes, her thoughts hazy. Danny was smiling, his eyes shining with love.

"A-am I dreaming?" she whispered.

"Not unless we're having the same dream," Danny whispered back.

Her eyes widened, and she took a step back only to find she couldn't. He leaned in to kiss her, but she ducked down and crawled away between his legs.

"Aw, come on, Sammy. Don't play hard to get." Danny followed her once she managed to get to her feet.

"Come on, Danny, what about Pualina?" Sam asked.

"Who's Paulina?" he asked dreamily.

"That's the second time you've said that, and it's the second time you've been brainwashed when you've said it." Sam groaned. "My life is so unfair."


Sam, Chloe, and Ron managed to hide from them for the second time that day while Tucker had disappeared.

"We've got to get the moodulators off," Ron said.

"Yeah, but how?" Chloe asked.

"I'm going to hate suggesting this, but what if we faked planning to kiss them and pull them off their necks?" Sam offered.

"Chloe shrugged. "It's worth a shot. It's not like it'd do any harm if we ended up kissing them…again."

All three of them blushed.

"Yup, no harm," Sam muttered.


Danny walked aimlessly through the house. "Oh, Sammy, where are you"

"Right here." Sam walked out of the other room, leaning in the doorway with a smile on her face.

Danny nearly bounded toward her then leaned on the wall inches away from her. "I knew I'd find you eventually."

"Of course you would have." She swallowed and resisted the urge to lean back as Danny leaned toward her. "Listen, Danny," she put her arms around his neck, "I think we need to talk."

He put his arms around her waist. "I'm definitely listening."

"Yeah, um…" Sam touched his neck, found the moodulator, and pulled it off.

Danny had a five-second brain shut down then he blinked, and his eyes widened when he saw who he was holding.

"Ah!" He released her then toppled to the ground.

"Yes, Ah! is right!" Sam said, her hands on her hips. "I have had the weirdest day of my life!"

"Uh…" Danny felt a blush creeping onto his cheeks. 'And I remember every single bit of it. That's a bad thing…isn't it?"

"Remember Ember's spell?" Danny swallowed and nodded. Sam dropped the moodulator onto his chest. "This is way worse."
