Chapter 5: The Chase Part 2
While Starfire was dealing with her situation with Danny, Sam Manson was bowling with Tucker but she is not in a good mood.
Sure, as a goth, she was usually suppose to display an aura that lacks happiness or positivity...but right now her aura was projecting anger, dissatisfaction and jealousy, not that she'd admit it, mind you...
"I still can't believe that Danny blew us off to go spend time with Starfire..."Sam thought, feeling something she refuses to admit is jealousy.
All the while, Tucker rolled his ball and got a strike.
"Sweet! You're turn Sam..."Tucker said to his friend.
However, he noticed the expression on her face and had to ask.
"You okay?..."He asked.
"Oh, sure...why shouldn't I be? I mean, here I am, having a nice time bowling with one of my best friends, while my other best friend is off who-knows-where with his girlfriend..."Sam said, in a totally not bitter tone.
Tucker heard this and sighed.
"Sam, I get that you wanted to hang with Danny but he chose to spend the day with Starfire...she's a nice girl, so let it go..."Tucker said and Sam sent him a glare at that.
"I just find it frustrating that she harassed him for so long and Danny actually wants to date her..."Sam said, looking down.
"They had a problem, talked about it and they started over...all that matters is that Danny is okay..."Tucker said seriously.
"I know but-
"But what?..."Tucker challenged.
Sam remained silent, still looking frustrated and Tucker sighed.
"Look, Danny is going to be okay...so are you going to bowl or not?..."Tucker asked.
Sam said nothing as she grabbed her ball and rolled, not even caring that she got a gutter ball.
All she could think about is Danny, who is probably getting all cozy with Starfire...
"Hmm...he's probably having a wonderful time with her and that little alien stalker couldn't be happier..."Sam thought bitterly before rolling once again.
Sam has no way of knowing just how wrong she is right now.
She is not happy right now.
Not in the slightest.
She also wasn't having a wonderful time with her boyfriend, who right now is acting so unusually into her...she is actually trying to hide from him.
"I need to find some place to hide..."Starfire thought as she looked around.
She soon landed in an alley and looked around, hoping to finally have some time to think. As she was looking up just in case Danny got the drop on her, a figure landed behind her and the alien princess suddenly felt two hands covering her eyes.
"Guess who?...'A playful voice said and Starfire gasped.
"Danny?!..."Starfire said as her boyfriend pulled his hands away from her eyes and they were now on her shoulders.
"Congratulations, you win a kiss!..."He teased before pulling her into one...
Starfire was taken back for a moment, before snapping out of it and bolting to the air once again.
Danny was on her tail, his arms stretched out as he tried to catch up with her.
"Come on Starfire...quit teasing..."Danny said in a sing song voice.
"I am not!..."Starfire said as she kept flying.
She was thankful that in terms of speed, she was the faster one in their relationship and managed to avoid his eager hands, but her boyfriend still is persisting.
"Kory!.."He called in a playful tone that made Starfire fly even faster.
"I must keep away from him and find out what is wrong with him, if I want any chance to fix him but-
Starfire was too busy thinking that she briefly hesitated and Danny managed to grab a hold of her, unintentionally pushing the two of them near the ground.
"Ah!...'Starfire yelped but she and Danny both stopped in mid air, before hitting the ground.
"Oh my gosh, are you okay, Starfire?..."Danny said, sounding actually concern for her safety, momentarily free from his love induced state.
"I..I am fine...no harm has happened.."Starfire said, only to notice that he went from concern to lovesick in two seconds flat.
"Wonderful, now where were we?...'Danny said flirtatiously as he leaned in for a kiss, and Starfire blushed deeply as he began placing kisses on her being again.
"Oh my...what am I to do? I need to be away but how can I get out without hurting him?..."Starfire thought, knowing that the same trick won't work twice and even if she is super strong and can blast her way if she needed to..., she did NOT want to hurt her boyfriend in any way, shape or form.
Suddenly, she saw something a few yards away that got her attention.
"Oh, darling..."Starfire said quickly as he was now nuzzling her cheek.
"Yes, my cute little princess..."Danny purred in bliss and Starfire tried not to get distracted by how this feels.
"I...am getting the thirsty...would you please go get me something to drink?..."Starfire said, having noticed a fountain several yards away and the dancing water had given her the idea.
Suddenly Danny perked up and let go, with that lovesick look on his face, not that it ever left, really.
"But of course, my sweet..."Danny said in an all too happy voice, but not before kissing her once again, much to her slight discomfort.
Once he was done, he sent that lovey dovey look to her once again.
"I'll be right back..."Danny said as he literally flew to the nearest store that he could find.
Starfire let out a sigh of relief, happy to have some time and breathing space.
"Finally...now to leave before he comes back..."Starfire said as she quickly flew in the opposite direction.
Almost a whole minute later, Danny flew back, with a soda in his hand and a bottle of mustard.
"Kory, I didn't know what you were in the mood in, so I got cola and mustard, since I know how much you love that stuff..."Danny said but to his surprise, his girlfriend was not in that spot anymore.
"Hmm...seems my little Starfire is playing games again..."Danny said, wondering what is up.
Suddenly he heard something that got his attention, a feminine scream. He quickly became invisible and checked it out, thinking it might be Starfire, but he just saw some girl going crazy over a present her boyfriend gave her.
It's a painting of said girl, which apparently her boyfriend must have painted, given how she is reacting to it.
"Oh Stanley, I love it..."The girl said as she hugged her boyfriend.
"Just a token of my love for you, Melissa..."Stanley said as his girlfriend embraced him.
Neither were aware that the ghostly teenage boy had seen this and soon got an idea...
"Hmmm..."Danny thought as he now knew what he wanted to do for his own love...
With Starfire
Starfire had landed in the park, trying to hide from Danny.
"I am hoping he does not find me here...this is not the good..."Starfire thought.
Suddenly, she heard gasps and turned around and saw a crowd of people approaching her, some with cell phones and camera's.
"It's Danny Phantom's girlfriend!..."One of them shouted as they approached her.
"Wow! Can I have your autograph..."One of them asked as they approached her.
Starfire got uneasy and she had wanted to maintain a low profile.
"Oh...uh...hello citizens of Amity Park.."Starfire said as she waved awkwardly to them and floated up when they got to close to her.
"Where is Danny Phantom?..."One of them asked and Starfire flinched at that.
"Look...Uh... my darling...well, he-
"Oh, Starfire!..."Was called in a sing-song voice and Starfire gulped.
She turned around and saw her boyfriend land and the crowd even got more excited by the sight of the local superhero.
"D-Darling...w-what are you doing here?..."Starfire asked a stupid question, she knew why he is here but she certainly hoped he didn't start acting that crazy like this with people taking pictures.
To her surprise, he just stood there, looking calm but he still had that loving look on his face.
"Oh, just about to give you a little token of my love..."Danny said romantically and Starfire was confused.
"A...token of your love?..."Starfire asked, wondering what he would pull.
She was so confused that she didn't even bother to flee now.
Danny just stood there, ignoring the crowds as he went to a spot, sent another flirtatious look to Starfire, who still looked confused, wondering what he is up to.
Suddenly, his hands and eyes began to glow blue and he suddenly blasted out an ice ray but for some reason, it was continuous...Starfire stood there for the net two minutes watching him do...uh...
"What is he doing?...'Starfire thought curiously as Danny continued to use his power.
Another minute later, he was done and stepped out of the way and Starfire and everyone else gasped when they saw what he had just made.
A life sized ice sculpture of Starfire, which is a perfect likeness of her.
"Voila! The most beautiful sculpture in the world...though it's nothing compared to the real deal..."Danny said sweetly.
Starfire was stunned as she actually floated to the ice sculpture. She was so amazed at how beautiful it is and that her darling actually made it for her, she briefly forgot about her situation. She just turned to Danny with a wide smile.
"Oh darling, it's glorious! Thank you!..."Starfire shouted as she hugged him tightly, which he hugged back, neither even noticed that more and more people came to the park and saw the ghost boy's display of love.
"Oh my, that's so romantic!..."Someone said in a gushy kind of voice.
Danny had been briefly taken back...he then got an even more infatuated look on his face but noticed that people were now taking pictures of him and his girlfriend.
What little reason Danny had left in him, was gone as he said nothing as he suddenly picked up Starfire bridal style, much to her confusion.
"W-What? Uh..Darling?.."Starfire said as she suddenly recalled her situation but before she could say anything, Danny flew off with her, leaving the park.
The entire crowds had witness the entire thing and found it to be so sweet and romantic.
"AWE!..."They said, having found what Danny did to be very sweet.
"That's so touching..."An old lady said, being a suck for romance.
"Why can't you be sweet like that?...'A teenage girl complained to her boyfriend, who looked surprised.
"Huh?..."He said in a clueless tone as everyone had watched the superhero couple leave the park.
Unknown to either of them, there had been some reporters who had witness the entire declaration of love from the ghostly teenager and had taken pictures of it.
"Please tell me that you got this?..."The female reporter asked her colleague.
"You bet! Everyone is going to eat up this fluff piece..."The male one said as he looked at the picture of Danny making and presenting the ice statue to Starfire and later flying away with her dramatically.
They began to make calls as the rest of the crowds began to admire Starfire's ice statue and some even took pictures of it.
Meanwhile
With the two lovebirds
Once they were high in the air, Starfire had regained her senses and tried to get out of Danny's arms, but he is holding on tight.
"Darling...what are you doing? Why did you take me from there?..."Starfire demanded.
"Well, I just wanted us to have some privacy, my dear..."Danny said in a hot kind of voice, which made Starfire nervous.
"Privacy? For what?..."Starfire asked, worried, while Danny chuckled.
"Oh, my tantalizing extraterrestrial...you are so coy.."Danny said as he pulled her close and started kissing her again.
Starfire actually tried to push away from him but Danny was now getting even more...enthusiastic as she felt his tongue brush against her lips but she kept her mouth firmly shut.
She didn't want to risk forgetting about this situation and giving into something they would both regret.
Danny began kissing her all over her face again and Starfire felt a deep blush forming on her face with every kiss.
Not just every kiss, but every compliment and sweet nothing he whispered as he continued to try and make out with her at 5,000 in the air.
"Oh Starfire...you're lips are soft and so sweet..."Danny said before he kissed her.
MUAH!
"You're hair is so soft...just like silk..."He sighed before planting another one.
MUAH!
"You're eyes...they are better than two green emeralds and twice as sparkly..."He said passionately before leaning in again.
MUAH!
MUAH!
MUAH!
"Mmmm...mmmm..."Starfire's made these muffled sounds as Danny continued to kiss her passionately.
She hated to admit it but her resistance is beginning to break with each kiss and gesture he did.
"I...I mustn't...I need to make sure he is well..but...this is so nice..."She thought as she briefly kissed back.
"I love you..."Danny said and Starfire's eyes widened.
She was silent, she heard those words.
Words she has spent a long time wanting to hear...and she frowned...since she knows that he doesn't really mean them...whatever has come over him is making him say that and Starfire didn't want it that way.
She wants him to say he loves her because he is ready and willing, not because he is suddenly acting unusual.
Starfire regained her senses and pushed away from him and fled. Danny, unfettered, flew after her, even more encouraged due to all of the kissing that had happened.
"Starfire...come back to my arms, my little dove..."Danny called but Starfire kept flying away.
Away from him...
And away from those words that she knows he doesn't really mean deep down.
She just has to get away.
Starfire eventually managed to slip away from Danny by maneuvering through some buildings and hiding behind a garbage can as he flew away, still calling for her.
"Starfire...baby, come back..."Danny called as he flew in another direction.
Starfire saw him go left and sighed in relief.
"Finally..."Starfire said as she landed to the ground.
"Perhaps now I may now begin to think..."Starfire said as she tried to come up with a strategy, now that she had some free time.
"You again?!..."Was suddenly heard.
Starfire turned around and saw that it was Johnny 13 and Kitty, who both looked worried for some reason.
"Oh, uh...hello again greasy haired male and his girlfriend...uh...how are you both on this day?...'Starfire said, not wanting to provoke them and risk giving away her location.
"Uh...we good...we didn't come here to cause any trouble or nothing...just came for a date is all..."Johnny said quickly.
"She didn't ask if we were up to trouble, Johnny..."Kitty said in annoyance to her boyfriend, before sending a nervous smile to Starfire.
She hasn't forgotten about their last encounter and the fact that they can't overshadow this girl.
"Uh...how are you and is Danny near here?..."Kitty asked in a cautious tone.
Starfire flinched but tried to play it cool.
"Uh... he is not here and I...have things to do...so have a good day..."Starfire said as she took a few steps back.
"Uh...are you okay?..."Johnny, despite having reasons to dislike her, actually noticed that she seemed nervous about something.
"Why, yes...I mean...why wouldn't
"There you are!..."Was suddenly heard as Danny fazed through and was now in front of Starfire.
'D-Danny!..."Starfire squeaked as she flew out the alley.
Danny flew after her, not even bothering to notice Johnny and Kitty, who looked confused.
"Uh...what just happened?.."Johnny asked, only for Kitty to look curious.
"Oh, seems juicy...let's go see..."Kitty said as she hopped on Johnny's motorcycle.
Johnny was confused, since he usually tried to stay away from both Starfire and Phantom if he could help it but Kitty insisted. The ghostly couple decided to go see what was going on.
The biker and his girlfriend soon followed the couple to a rooftop and to their surprise, Danny was on his knee as he held Starfire's hand and she looked bewildered to say the least.
Neither had noticed their presence either, most likely because Danny seems to be really into whatever it is that he is doing.
"What the heck is he doing?...'Johnny questioned, wondering why they were even here.
"Shush...he's saying something..."Kitty shushed as she and Johnny saw this.
"Oh my precious Starfire..."Danny said as he kissed her hand and the alien girl blushed even more, but looked uncomfortable too.
'You fill my heart with... excitements..."He started, before he paused, due to being a C student in English and not much of a poet.
"Uh...Okay, far warning Kory, not so good with rhyming..."He said, before continuing.
"Your suit of purple, armor... I think... of silver...Your fiery red hair makes me... quiver... I just realized that didn't really rhyme. In retrospect, I should have spent more than 10 minutes on this..."He muttered, before trying to start over.
"Uh..my love for you runs...really, really deep...
"I think of you all of the time, and us being together is really...uh...neat.."He tried, once more to deliver the awkward poetry.
He didn't notice that two of his enemies were watching the whole thing.
Johnny and Kitty's faces expressed their opinion of what they just witness their enemy spout very cheesy, poorly delivered love poetry to his girlfriend.
Johnny had his arms crossed, his brow raised and looked like he was thinking "what the heck is wrong with him?" all the while Kitty had her hands clasped and was smiling, like she just found a bunch of puppies and kittens playing together and her expression just wanted to say "awwwwwwwww".
"Pfft... how lame..."Johnny mocked..."Sheesh, since when did he become so corny?..."Johnny said and Kitty sent him an annoyed look.
"You can stand to learn a thing or two from Danny..."Kitty said in annoyance, getting Johnny's attention.
"Excuse me, what's that suppose to mean?..."Johnny demanded and Kitty crossed her arms and hmpt.
"What did I do?..."Johnny demanded.
'I think it's sweet he at least put EFFORT in trying to be romantic. Let's see you do better, Johnny!...'Kitty said and Johnny gasped suddenly.
"Wait? You don't like that little man all of a sudden, do you?..."Johnny demanded, getting jealous and Kitty rolled her eyes at his possessiveness.
"No, I don't like him, but at the very least, he's trying to make an effort to be romantic to his girlfriend..."Kitty pointed out.
"Oh, and I'm not..."Johnny said and Kitty rolled her eyes again.
"Romantic boyfriends do things besides taking their girlfriends on a motorcycle ride and occasionally getting a bite to eat just for a few minutes of making out!..."Kitty criticized.
"You weren't complaining when I took you to Bone's Diner last week..."Johnny said and Kitty narrowed her eyes.
"That's another thing, some girls find it romantic when their boyfriends take them places that are a little classier than a third rate diner..."Kitty spat.
Soon the two began to argue about their relationship...yet again.
Kitty was complaining about stuff that Johnny did and Johnny just thought she was nagging him.
"You never wrote a poem for me!..."Kitty cried.
"Only wimps like Phantom over there write poetry..."Johnny said and Kitty screamed at his bone-headedness.
As the two continued to bicker, neither had noticed that Starfire managed to break free from Danny and fleed once again. And once again, the relentless, lovesick halfa was after her.
With Starfire
Starfire was trying hard to stay away from Danny after his latest romantic gesture. He had caught up to her and recited her a poem that he came up with right now.
Starfire was touched but she only wished that he had been his normal self when he told her that poem, despite how awkward it was, it was very sweet how he tried...She just wished he had been his normal self when he did that...and when he made that ice sculpture..or said all of those wonderful things about her as he kissed her so boldly and passionately.
She managed to break away from him and was now several yards out of his distance but she can still hear him calling for her.
"Starfire...come back to me, my sweet Starfire..."Danny called but she tried to ignore him.
"Oh, what am I going to do?..."Starfire thought as she kept trying to stay out of her boyfriend's reach.
"Come back, my little snooki-wooki..."Danny called in a lovesick way and Starfire actually looked back in confusion.
"Snooki-wooki?..."Starfire questioned but she was still flying, she turned back to look at him in confusion and then-
"LOOK OUT!..."Danny called in worry but it was too late.
Starfire had accidentally hit a flag pole due to not looking and due to how fast she was flying to get away, the force knocked her out and the alien princess was knocked out and was falling to the earth.
"STARFIRE!..."Danny exclaimed as he flew quickly and catch her before she hit the ground.
She was now in his arms again, unconscious but alright, still, the lovesick boy still looked worried.
"Oh Kory..."Danny said as he held her, no longer trying to kiss her, he just look worried as she was passed out.
"Don't worry...I got you..."Danny said as he decided to take her to a safe place to recover.
His attempts to romance her would have to wait until later.
