Chapter 5: Starstruck and Heartbreak
Danny looks down and notices something on ground level he's been looking for. It's Johnny 13, on his bike, flirting with some girls.
"Johnny! Finally!"
He dives down, tackling into his motorcyclist foe. This causes the girls to run off. The two ghostly guys knock into a stand, causing its host and some customers to run off.
"What the heck?!" Johnny yells, before he notices Danny, standing above him. He glares. "You!"
Before Johnny can do anything else, Danny punches him out.
With his foe out cold, Danny walks to the motorcycle and sees the stolen Fenton technology.
"Finally!" Danny says as he pulls it off the bike.
Now, how does this work?
"Hello?!" A female voice calls out, in a romantically longing tone.
Oh no…
Danny starts to panic.
"Where are you, my little handsome space traveler?" Starfire calls out.
He doesn't see her, but he still chooses to run in the opposite direction he heard it from. He goes behind a nearby stand and aims the device at himself.
"Your princess of Tamaran is looking for you!"
"Sorry Starfire…" Danny whispers. "But this date's over."
Danny fires at himself.
Did it work?
Danny concentrates and, thankfully, he returns to human form. He smiles.
"Excuse me, Earth boy."
She's here!
Danny turns quickly, hiding the device behind his back.
"Yes?!"
"Have you seen a cute boy of my world nearby?"
She thinks I'm cute? He thinks. Maybe I should… no, I gotta get out of here.
"No." He says. "I'm sorry, I didn't… he must have left."
Starfire only stares at him for a moment before she speaks.
"I see…"
She turns away. Danny sighs in relief.
Sniff…
Danny hears this coming from her.
"He has left me…" Starfire says sadly. This caught his attention, especially when she lands on the ground. "My handsome Phantom has gone and left…" She sniffs again, this time rubbing her eyes with her arm. She then starts walking away.
"You're not going to fly away?" Danny asks, concerned for her.
"I do not feel joy at the moment, therefore I do not feel like flying." She says without turning away. "I fear my heart felt the brokenness earlier and this has made it more of the brokenness."
She walks away.
Danny looked to her, feeling guilt.
I just broke her heart. I really didn't think this through.
He had to deal with his current problem though. He walked over to where Johnny 13 was left.
Starfire chose to walk back into the pier, wanting to think as she walks through the rides and attractions. She sees someone coming out of a damaged stand, someone with greasy blonde hair. Somehow, this person has some kind of attraction to her. So attractive that a smile comes back to her face and she flies him, hearts appearing in her eyes. She hugs him tightly.
"You are quite attractive!"
Danny, coming for Johnny, sees Starfire squeezing him. He questions why, but realized that since Johnny is a full ghost, he must be having a stronger effect on her. With the added time she spent being around him likely still in her system, Johnny is the one feeling the bad luck right now.
"Whoa! Let me go, doll! Kitty would clobber me if she saw me with you!" Johnny panicked. He phased through her arms and ran to his bike, hopping on it and taking off.
Starfire just stares confused.
"How did he escape my grip?" She shrugs. "I will just reclaim him!" She flies in his direction.
Danny sighs. On one hand, he could leave Johnny to deal with an overly affectionate alien. On the other hand, he couldn't just let him cause a mess in another world.
Johnny sped as fast as he could to the portal that led him and Danny to this world. He looked back in absolute fear at the redhead chasing him.
"Normally, I'd want a chick to come after me like this. But Kitty would break me if she saw this babe…" He says concerned.
Starfire, with a big smile on her face, giggles at this man's apparent shyness.
"Stop!" Danny Phantom called out. Looking over her right shoulder, Starfire sees this young boy she's encountered earlier. "Starfire! Stop!"
Starfire looked to him, then to Johnny, then to Danny again. She then smiles.
"There are two handsome ones who show an interest in me?!"
Danny sighs. He just wants to get away from this pretty little insane girl and get home. With that, he decides to use his restored power and speed up to go past her, which is helpful as the portal is not that far.
"Here we go!" Danny yells as he tackles into Johnny, knocking him and the motorcycle into the portal.
The two disappear, causing Starfire to stop and stare at where the two young men disappeared.
"What has occurred to them?"
The date's over.
But these two are going to be having a second date soon enough.
Danny realizes breaking her heart was a bad idea, but how will things go differently.
Hint, she's coming to his world.
Also, I was questioning what to do with Johnny. Since he's not a proper villain like Skulker or Technus, hitting on girls made more sense.
By the way, do you think this was too short? I wanted to make it longer, but I couldn't figure out how with more gags and I wanted to move the story to Danny's world.
