Drabble #13: Alliances
Ember McLain was waiting impatiently in what looked like a hunter's paradise- complete with traps and ghost pelts. Now, Ember was never a patient person. However, she was currently seething with anger. That ghost kid thwarted her plans again! Worse, the dipstick humiliated her. It was bad enough when his friend what's-his-face got up and started singing horribly- at her own concert! The memory of that incident made her turquoise hair flame in anger. But now all of the ghosts knew of Ember's alliance with Youngblood, the ten year old ghost who currently wanted to be a pirate. Oh, how she hated it.
Why did she pick Youngblood, anyways? They both hated adults, but that was all they had in common. He was a bratty, immature little kid. She was an aspiring pop star. Youngblood also had held no grudge against Danny Phantom. He only wanted to take over the world, and he wasn't even that ambitious. Luckily, she had escaped before the ship became trapped under the ocean.
Ember should have listened to Skulker while she had the chance. If they had teamed up together, that dipstick would be long gone. Instead, she stupidly laughed and walked away. She had laughed at the insanity of creating an alliance with someone who wasn't even human in his past life. Now, Ember questioned her sanity for not joining up with him.
Together, they could defeat Danny Phantom and conquer the world! Of course, she would have to talk Skulker into becoming a team. He sure wasn't happy when she turned him down. Ember distinctly remembered having to dodge various ecto-blasts and bombs. Skulker didn't take rejection very well.
"So… did the whelp get you down again?" A deep voice said icily behind her. Ember smiled. She hadn't heard him come up behind her.
"Skulker, would you like to join forces to defeat that dipstick Danny Phantom?"
Ember and Skulker then walked off to plot evil and to patch things up. To them, it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
A/N: This one is EmberxSkulkerish, and it takes place right after Pirate Radio. Also, this is the first drabble that only really involves ghosts (I don't count Vlad as a ghost. He's still half human, like Danny). Do Ember and Skulker seem OoC? Thanks to cottongirl1619, DrIvoRobotnik and LovelyxBunchaxCoconuts for reviewing! Review and tell me what you think of the story! Constructive criticism is accepted, but no flames please.
