"Yo, Dipstick, how's 'bout I rock on!" Ember struck a chord on her guitar and hit the ghost boy with a wave of sound.

"Nice try, Ember McLame."

"Shut up you little gothic menace!"

"Oh I'm the menace? That's new."

"Oh come on. Can't you shut your girlfriend up, please."

"I'm not her boyfriend!"

"I'm not his girlfriend!"

"Oh really? She laughed and turned a dial on her guitar so that it pointed to a heart. "Let's see how you lovebirds rock on." She laughed, maniacally and strummed her instrument.

"No - not again, McLame." Sam leaped at the rocker and grabbed the guitar. This merely changed where it was aimed.

"Gothic menace," screeched Ember. "You shouldn't of touched that!" Her eyes went red and her hair went up in flames. Sam closed her eyes, ready to break the guitar if needed, and waited. But no pain came. One eye opened and she gasped, ran, and dropped the instrument.

"Tucker . . . I just . . . saw the . . . worst thing . . . ever . . ." Sam collapsed on the floor.

"What? What did you see, Sa- oh." Tucker saw his friend sitting on the floor, out of breath.

"Danny . . . Ember . . . kissing . . ."

"He would never - he loves you."

"D-does he?"

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Battle, guitar, heart . . . I . . . took it . . ."

"You took Ember's-"

"Yes . . ."

"And she didn't react?"

"Y-yes."

"I think you turned her guitar against her."

"Oh."

============D&E============

"Oh Babpop . . . I-"

"Love me? Same here - I love you." The kissed again.

"I love the beat of your heart . . ."

"I love the fire of your core." They kissed again.

"Stop, now!"

"Sis?"

"First. Things. First: You are not old enough to fall in love! Second: She is an enemy. And-"

"Oh shut up, smartypants. I'm not here to be yelled at." Ember smiled. "Now, how do you rock on?"

"I don't 'rock on', as you say." Jazz activated the Fenton Peeler."

"Oh come on, sis. Can't you give her a break? We're da-"

"You are not dating that punk. Plus, she's a ghost - what would our parents say?"

"I could always tell them about me."

"Oh come on! I know I'm the sensible one, and even I don't think telling them would be a good idea. Aren't they always threatening to-"

"Tear me apart molecule by molecule? So what."

"Danny, this is not you - you're under that ghost's spell!"

"Even if I am, I don't care."

"Then you leave me no choice - Guys, now!" Tucker and Sam leaped out of hiding, tackling the two. Tuck smooched Ember while Sam kissed Danny. The two ghosts came out of the spell. "Danny? Are you back?"

"I-"

"Gothic menace! Techno punk! You'll pay for this." Ember went up in blue flames, her eyes glowing a powerful red.

"Whoa . . . calm down, Ember . . ."

"Dipstick?"

"Danny - the thermos!" Phantom looked at the device, then at Ember, then at his friends.

"Sorry." He grabbed the container and threw it.

"What? Why did you-"

"I . . ." he rubbed the back of his neck. "I actually love her . . ."

"What! Did you really say that you love McLame?" Sam threw her hands into the air. "Unbelievable. My best friend is in love with his enemy."

"Unless . . . is he really out of the spell?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ember was the one who cast the spell, and she's under it. It could be that, unless she's woken, no one can be."

"Well if what we just did didn't wake her, now what?"

"I . . . have nothing."

"It's okay, guys. I still like you Sam, but Ember's the one I love."

"I . . ."

"Danny! Quit this nonsense or I may kill you again!"

"Please, sis, let this one go."

"Fine, then, but don't blame me."

============D&E============

"Mom? Dad? Can we talk?"

"Sure, Danny!"

"Of course, sweetie."

"I'm in love."

"Wait, what?"

"With . . . with a ghost."

"Danny, you know that they're vile globs of ectoplasm, right?"

"Actually, mom . . ." He took a breath and transformed.

"Gah!" His dad jumped. "T-that's not our son!"

"Actually, Mr Fenton, it is." Team Phantom had followed their friend to his house.

"And, mom, dad, the ghost I like is Ember."

"Ember? That vile punk musician? Why-"

"Do I love her? Because she's . . . well, just because. I like how she looks, I like how she's feisty, I like it all."

"And just where is this ectoplasmic entity?"

"I'm right here, sir." Ember turned visible, leaning against her guitar. "And I love your son. It's rare for a ghost to fall in love is one of you guys, but, well . . . he's one of us too." Jack fainted.

"That went well," Danny mumbled.
