chapter 26.
later that night.
Danny stood there in the mirror straightening out his new suit. It was a black leather suit coat along with a pair of nice black dress pants. He smiled at his dads purchas. "and only 60 bucks?" he asked his dad getting his tie on. Vlad smiled. "that's right." He said. dannys look changed instantly. Vlad looked over to his son and saw this. "Daniel are you alright?" he asked. Danny hung his head. "you remember when Desiree attacked Ember?" he asked. Vlad nodded. "well the guilt I felt then is ten times worse now." He said leaning against the counter.
Vlad walked up and put his hands on his sons shoulders. "and whys that Daniel?" he asked. Danny explained everything that he had learned in school the day before. Vlads eyes went wide with shock. "so that's why you were so quiet all day yesterday." He said rubbing his chin. Danny kept his head down. "that's not the worst part." He said now grabbing Vlads attention. "Embers parents were killed by mine." Vlads face was nothing but pure shock. "oh dear." He said. Danny sat on the couch burying in his face in his hands.
"now im worried if I tell her where I really came from shell hate me for life." He said in a hurt voice. Vlad sat by his son putting one hand on his shoulders. "trust me Daniel if you really like this girl then you will have to tell her one of these days." Danny looked up to his dads face. "because so far partners don't keep secrets like this from each other." Danny sat there quietly. Vlad continued on. "but only when you feel like the time is right." Danny smiled and hugged his dad. Vlad quickly looked at his watch and turned to Danny. "speaking of which you better go get her now the partys going to start soon." Danny nodded and flew as fast as he could towards the portal.
Ember stood in the mirror brushing her ponytail. She examined herself over and over again thinking she overdressed. Her laptop chimed on Skype. She clicked to reveal Kitty. "so you ready for tonight?" she asked cheerfully. Ember hung her head. "I don't know kitty im really nervous. Ive never been on a real date before." She said adjusting her heels. Kitty frowned but then smiled. "trust me if you want a perfect first date then Danny is your guy." She said giggling. Ember gave kitty a strange look. "where did he take you on your dates?" she asked.
Kitty smiled. "well normally he would take me anywhere I wanted to go. He also took me on a few of his dads business trips." She explained numbering off her adventures. Ember smiled. "he seems like such a nice guy." She said to herself. Kitty overheard it. "he really is Ember and trust me I know for a fact that he probably likes you." She said grinning. Ember jumped when she heard a knock at her door. "okay that's him ill let you know how it goes." She whispered. Kitty gave the thumbs up and logged off. Ember walked up to the door straightening her blouse. She took a deep breath and opened the door.
They were both at a lost for words at the sight of eachother. Ember gasped at dannys suit and the fact he looked incredibly sharp. Danny was trying to keep his head on at the sight of Ember. She wore a black lace blouse along with a white skirt that went down to her knees along with a pair of fishnet stockings. She wore a pair of black high heels and a pair of small purple heart earings. Finally Danny broke the silence. "you look amazing tonight." He said smiling shyly. Ember blushed and smiled. "thanks you look handsome tonight." She replied causing Danny to blush. Danny held out his arm and Ember took it in. they flew towards the portal both with goofy grins on their faces. "so you excited for tonight?" Danny asked. Ember nodded slightly blushing. "like I said its my first party to go to so yeah a little bit." She said. when they reached it Ember could already hear the chatter of other people. "so you ready?" Danny asked. Ember slowly nodded. Danny laughed. "its alright there will be other teens here." He said leading her in. he reached the lab and walked over to a small box. Ember looked at it with curiosity wondering what this dipstick was up to.
Danny came back with two masks that would've covered their eyes. She looked at them puzzled. Danny smiled. "it is a costume party. You don't have to wear one if you don't want to." He added. Ember smiled as she took the black one and put it on. Danny smiled. "you look beautiful." Right as soon as he realized what he said they both blushed. Danny put on the white mask and changed into his ghost form. He took her by the arm again and led them into the party.
Ember was surprised at how the outlook of the party was. Instead of it looking like a fancy club or an expensive restaurant it looked like a normal highschool party more than anything. "Danny over here." They both turned to see a hispanic girl with a blonde headed boy. "hey guys Danny said leading them both over. He looked over to Ember and indicated the two in front of her. "Ember this is paulina and her boyfriend Dash." Dash waved and paulina gasped. "Danny is this the girl you told me about?" she asked. Danny blushed. "aww Danny you talk about me when im not around?" Ember asked sweetly. "yeah this is my date Ember Mclain." He said indicating Ember. Paulina smiled reaching out for a handshake. Ember accepted it.
Dash looked over at Danny. "so where did you meet your date?" he asked. Embers heart raced. She didn't want to embarrass Danny by saying he was hanging out with a dead girl. "I know her from the new academy I go to now." He explained causing Ember to relax. "do they have sports there?" dash asked excitedly. Danny and Ember looked at eachother laughing. "you could say that." Ember said. she couldn't belive it. She was on a date with a semi normal guy and actually enjoying herself. "kitty I owe you one." She said in her mind.
