Chapter 13: Danny vs Starfire
Previously
"Darling, please wait there..I have something here that will make you feel much better..."Starfire said as she reached for the undo stone in her pocket...only to find that it is empty.
"W-What?..."Starfire exclaimed as she checked her other one, and then her whole person but she couldn't find it.
"Oh no...that attack from that flaming hair grimplork must have knocked it away..."Starfire whispered.
Before she could get a chance to check her surroundings, Danny suddenly grabbed her by the hand and she saw the intense look on his face.
"Do not worry, my little space kitten, you are all that I need to feel better..."He said romantically and Starfire gulped when she saw the look on his face.
It was even worse than earlier...
"Uh oh..."Starfire whispered in horror as she realized this situation.
The undo stone is missing, Danny is still very deep in his love trance and noticed that sun set is less than 20 minutes away.
Uh oh, indeed.
Starfire knew that this is bad and it got worse when Danny wrapped his arms around her, trying to kiss her, but the Tamaranean princess pushed him back.
"Danny!..."Starfire shouted as she tried to avoid being kissed by him.
"But Kory! I missed you so much!.."Danny shouted as he traced some kisses on her cheek.
Despite it all, Starfire felt herself enjoying this action more than she should.
"Oh darling..."Starfire thought as she briefly stopped as he kissed her face, briefly forgetting her stress and the situation.
"Oh Kory..."Danny said as he managed to kiss her on the lips before pulling away in a loud "MUAH".
He did it again and Starfire was briefly taken in for some reason.
"Why am I struggling...I haven't felt this good since..."Starfire's eyes widen when she realized what she is doing and the situation.
Sure, she is geniunely attracted to Danny and she loves him, but the last time when she felt an attraction like this was weeks ago after her first visit to the Ghost Zone...which she had visited only moments ago and she realizes now that the effects are still in place...somewhat.
"Huh? Oh my, the energy from the Ghost Zone! I must not give in!..."Starfire thought, only for Danny to grab her face and pull her in for another kiss.
Starfire was taken by the kiss and tried to resist.
"Do not give in... must find that stone!..."Starfire thought as she tried to use all of her focus and will power not to give in.
She used her strength to push Danny off and made a dash for it, trying to find the undo stone.
Danny shook a bit, surprised, before an interested smirk came to his face.
"Playing hard to get again, huh?..."Danny said as he went after her, blinding by love and passion.
More and more each passing second.
Meanwhile
Sam, Jazz and Tucker had just gotten out of Fenton Works and ran a few blocks. By the time they got there, they saw that Starfire was flying in the other direction until she spotted them.
"Oh, friends of Danny...help..we have a problem that is large ..."Starfire shouted, looking horrified.
"What happened? Where's Danny?..."Jazz asked.
'Where is the stone?..."Sam question.
"That is my large size problem...that grimplork whom you all call Ember had attacked us...Danny had defeated her but the stone is missing..."Starfire said.
"What?..."They all shouted.
"What is worse is that Danny is-
"OH STARFIRE!..."Was heard and they saw the lovesick Danny flying faster.
"Oh no! Find that stone!..."She shouted before zipping away, with Danny flying past them, hot on her trail.
"Oh, of all things...I can't believe she lost the stone..."Sam said in anger.
"Sam, not now...we got to find it..."Tucker said.
"It's close to sunset...we got to hurry..."Jazz said.
As much as Sam wanted to be mad at Starfire, she knew that this was a much more pressing matter to attend to.
"Where is it?..."Sam questioned.
"Just keep looking..."Jazz said as she and Tucker began to search the area.
Sam didn't argue as she began to search for the undo stone, with sunset being much closer than they would have liked.
With Starfire
As the members of Team Phantom began to search for the undo stone, Starfire was doing her very best to fly faster than her boyfriend.
It's funny. Before, she had always been the faster of the two but right now, she is having trouble being out of his reach...maybe a side effect of being love crazy is that it gives people extra speed to chase their target.
"Oh Starfire..."Danny shouted and Starfire just kept trying to fly as fast as she can.
To her dismay, Danny looked like he was having fun doing this, no doubt thinking that she was playing hard to get again.
"Keep running, my extraterrestrial beauty! They say that the thrill is in the chase..."Danny shouted as he lunged to her, his arms out, eager to grab her.
Starfire only managed to dodge by a bit.
"Is that so?...'Starfire said as she flew even faster.
Danny saw this but he is too deep in his love spell to notice that she was in distress.
"Oh, you are so adorable...but my sweet Kory, as fast as you are..you still have to go around obstacles..."Danny shouted as he became intangible and flew through a building that Starfire maneuvered before he appeared before her.
"While I have the advantage!..."Danny shouted and Starfire screamed when he appeared like that.
"AH! This is so not of the fair..."Starfire complained as she flew in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately for her, this city has a lot of buildings and things that would serve as obstacles and Danny was taking advantage of his intangibility for all it's worth.
"Thank you, ectoplasmic intangibility!..."Danny said as he fazed through a construction site that Starfire tried to maneuver through and was now in front of her again, making her scream and fly out, while he chased after her.
Following her everywhere and fazing through to give him the advantage.
"All is fair in love and war, Starbolts! And this is starting to feel like both!..."The love crazed Danny said as Starfire cringed, getting very nervous and uncomfortable now.
"You are acting so much of the crazy!...'Starfire said as Danny just tried to grab her, but she managed to escape.
"It is times like this, I believe that it true what they say...that it is possible to be too of the attractive..."Starfire muttered as she barely managed to dodge Danny once more.
"He is getting worse...I must find that stone..."Starifre thought as she searched for the stone and also tried to remain out of her unwell boyfriend's clutches.
This chase continued and as Starfire had feared, Danny was getting more demented with love and more determined to have her in his arms...
One way or the other.
Meanwhile
With the others
Sam, Jazz and Tucker were desperately searching the entire block for the undo stone, but time is running out.
"Hurry up, we only have 15 minutes before sunset..."Jazz shouted as she looked at the time and saw it herself.
"I'm hurrying..."Tucker said as he checked behind some garbage cans but it wasn't there.
"It has to be here somewhere..."Sam said as she kept looking.
If they don't find it and use it on Danny fast, he was doomed to spend eternity as Starfire's obsessive, infatuated love zombie.
"Come on...please...it's bad enough that Danny likes her but if this happens, he won't even be choosing to pursue her anymore...'Sam said, both jealousy and legit concern brewing within her.
The goth girl was getting frantic and worried, until she finally found what she was looking for, underneath a parked taxi car.
"The undo stone..."Sam said as she picked it up.
"I got it!..."Sam shouted to the others.
"That's great, now all we have to do is get it to Danny...how much time do we have left?..."Jazz asked Tucker.
"13 minutes and counting..."Tucker said as he glanced at his PDA.
The team soon ran to go catch up with Danny, who was busy chasing Starfire all over the block.
"With Starfire
"Starfire!...'Danny shouted as he was right behind her.
"Oh my...'Starfire thought, flying back in the direction where she had seen the team.
She really just needs that stone.
"Please have them have found it already....'She thought as she looked back to see if Danny was still on her trail.
To her surprise, she didn' see him.
"Huh? Where did he go?..."Startfire thought.
She looked forward and yelped when she saw that he was several feet in front of her, his arms stretched out.
"Oh no!..."Starfire shouted as she tried to stop but it was too late, she soon found herself in yet another unwarranted embrace by her lovesick boyfriend.
"I got you!..."Danny cheered as he began to smother her with many more kisses, despite her protests.
"D-Danny..."Starfire gasped in desperation as he ignored her protests and continued to shower her with his affection.
"I love you...MUAH!..."He whispered before stealing a kiss
"I love you...MUAH!..."He continued before stealing another one.
"I love you..."He whispered, now looking into her terrified, desperate green eyes.
Starfire hated that some of her was enjoying this but she knew that she can't let this happened. Using her strength, she pushed away but Danny is still persistent.
Starfire was at her wits end at this point. She has just managed to wriggle out of Danny's amorous grasp and wiped his unwanted kisses from her mouth.
"Starfire..."Danny called in a lovesick, airy way.
"Danny..."His girlfriend said sadly.
This is the third time that he has caught her and each time, her own hormones have nearly betrayed her again. It's only her pure will power that she didn't give in.
But with time running out, Starfire wondered if Danny will be cured in time. Clockwork may have seemed sure, but with minutes left, how could she?
"Danny..." Starfire said in concern.
"Starfire..."Danny called out, looking so much in love right now.
Starfire hated to admit it, but there was a tiny part of her that did enjoy all of this, deep down.
She took a moment to see the look on his face. How happy and loving it was when he saw her.
It hurt.
"I almost do not want to do this... when will he ever act like this again? When will he ever hold me in his arms like this? When will he ever take the initiative when we kiss like this? When will he ever say that he loves me?..."She couldn't help but think.
"Kory?" He asked, sounding eager. "My love?"
She winced, wanting so much for Danny to admit he loves her, but not like this.
"No... this isn't how he really is. Perhaps... deep down these are his feelings, but this is not how I want his love. I want him to be this way by choice..." She thought, making her resolve.
Even if it isn't real, it hurt her to reject his advances. She wanted so much for them to be his own actions and not out a spell she unwittingly put him under.
"Starfire! We got it!...'Sam shouted as she held something that made Starfire overjoyed.
"The undo stone!..."Starfire shouted.
"We only got three minutes now!..."Tucker shouted and Starfire gasped.
She tried to fly down to go grab it, only for Danny to grab her by the arm, a purely obsessive look on his face.
"Danny, darling...please...let me go so that I can cure you..."Starfire pleaded but he wouldn't let go.
"I am not going to leave you, Starfire..."Danny said, too blinded by his love to realize the gravity of this situation.
"Get down here!..."Sam shouted.
"Two minutes and thirty seconds!..."Tucker shouted but the superheroes were arguing now.
"Forget me for the moment..."Starfire pleaded but now he looked mad at the mere mention of such a thing.
"I CAN'T! I WON'T!..."Danny shouted, being stubborn.
"I love you and you love me! We're supposed to always be together!..."He said.
"THIS IS NOT WHAT LOVE IS!..."Starfire shouted as she saw in horror as the sun was beginning to set.
"90 seconds!..."Tucker shouted once more.
"If I do not act quick, he will be like this forever..."Starfire thought as she had to think fast.
She had an idea...but it was going to hurt and not herself.
She didn't want to do this, but she is desperate.
"Darling...please forgive me...'Starfire whispered as Danny paused, briefly looking confused.
Starfire's hands glowed and before Danny realized it, he was hit by her starbolts and sent flying to the ground...right next to Sam, Tucker and Jazz.
"AH!..."Danny shouted as he hit the ground.
"Forgive me, Danny..."Starfire shouted as she landed towards him.
"10 seconds..."Tucker said as Starfire grabbed the undo stone from Sam and quickly placed it onto Danny.
"Hey, what are you?..."Danny exclaimed, only to pause when a strange green glow now surrounded his body and all of a sudden, he passed out...
Just as the sunset.
