Chapter 16
"Oh my gosh Danny." Paulina said putting both hands to her mouth. "Im so sorry." She said putting her head down. "It's my fault you guys started dating." Danny put his hand on hers. "no its okay Paulina Sam made her decision and I made mine." He said smiling. Paulina smiled back. "so back to the matter at hand. Why'd you call me here?" she asked him folding her arms. Danny smiled. "I need your expertise in people's personalities." He said spinning in his office chair. She looked at him with a smile. "Sure but only if you tell me why." She said putting her hands on her hips. Danny blushed. "well there's this girl I know at a school im going to.." Paulina cut him off. "ooooh Danny you trying to impress a new girlfriend?" she asked. Danny got up off his chair. "shes not my girlfriend." He said folding his arms. Paulina could only smile. "He's in denial."
They talked over what Danny knew about Ember so far. After they were finished Paulina had a full diagnosis. "okay so from what you told me were looking at a girl who is really into music." She looked at Danny nodding. She looked back to her list. "From what I can tell by her personality it was pretty difficult to work out." Danny looked at her in confusion. "She sounds like a girl who had her heart broken numerous times." She looked up to see Danny rubbing the back of his neck. She smiled putting her hands on his shoulders. "Danny I can also read you like a book. You like her don't you?" Danny blushed. "okay maybe I do a little bit." He said smiling. Later after Paulina left Danny had gone into the training room. as he dodged and blasted the giant red ghost dragon in front of him he couldn't stop thinking about what he had agreed with Paulina. "do I like her?" he asked himself. After two hours of training he made a decision. "I have a few stops to make tomorrow morning." He said to himself going to sleep.
Ember was discharged from the medical center later the next morning. It was Saturday so there was no school that day. All the nurses and the doctors agreed she would be fully healed by the next morning. As she walked past the office one the receptionists called her over. "excuse me you're Ember right?" she asked. Ember nodded. She smiled. "well just to let you know Danny came in a while back and payed for everything. So you've nothing to worry about." Ember smiled. "thank you." She was about to walk out when the receptionist called her back. "hes a keeper be sure not to let this one get away." She said winking. Ember turned as red as a tomato. "oh no no hes not my boyfriend." She said with a shy smile. The lady smiled as Ember walked away. "shes in denial." She said turning back to her computer.
Ember flew throughout the ghost zone smiling. It was good to get out of there. she turned a corner to crash into someone. "oh man im sor…" she was cut off when she saw Danny getting up from the ground. He looked up with a shocked expression that quickly turned to a smile. "weve gotta stop meeting like this." He said getting up brushing himself off and picking up a box he was carrying. Ember looked away smiling hiding her blush. "so you feeling better?" he asked. Ember nodded. "ghosts heal faster than humans. So yes thank you." She said smiling. They both stood there quietly until Danny handed over the box in his hand. "its for you Monday is our first combat exercise and I think youll need this." He said as ember took it away from his hands.
Ember gasped as she pulled out an outfit almost like kiss wore at all their concerts. She looked up at Danny with disbelieve. He smiled. "not that hard to figure out a person who plays guitar and wears all black." He said smiling. He was about to fly off when ember called him back. "Danny wait." His heart stopped as he floated back down. She stood there not even looking at him until a few moments passed. "if you think buying me things and doing all these things will earn you my trust." She looked at him smirking. "try a little bit harder dipstick." Danny had a shocked look on his face until it cleared. "now hold on ember. I know I cant buy your trust. Like I said yesterday Im only looking out for my partner." He said smiling. And with that flew off into the space of the ghost zone.
Ember got home and locked the door. She then snapped her fingers putting her realm on lockdown. "don't need that genie bitch to go causing trouble." She said with venom in her voice. She set down her guitar and picked up the outfit Danny had gotten her. She smiled. How he knew her personality and interest was way beyond her. And how he got the suit was a mystery but she went upstairs to try it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and examined it. It fit her perfectly and the spikes and armor just made her look cool. She turned in the mirror a few times and smiled. "id like to see him keep his eyes off of me now." She said laughing. She changed out of it and switched into pjs.
Danny sat with Danielle watching Saw. Vlad came in and smiled. "aren't you a little to young to be watching this Danielle?" he asked jokingly. Danny looked up at him. "coming from the guy who jumped at the movie psycho." He said causing Danielle to giggle. Vlad sat next to his kids. He looked at the screen in horror. He didn't know how his kids could stand blood and gore but as long as they got to bed he didn't care. Danny turned to Vlad. "hey dad is it okay if my friends come over tomorrow for the game?" he asked. Vlad looked at him smiling. "of course why not? Besides from what you told me you owe skulker big time for putting himself on the line." He said laughing. Danny smiled. "thanks dad."
