chapter 27.

Vlad and Danielle both watched as Danny and Ember sat across from eachother at their table. "how do you think this will turn out?" Danielle asked smiling. Vlad smiled. "oh trust me Danielle it could end either way." He said patting his daughter on the head. "however. I see a bright future for Daniel." He said smiling. He turned to see one of the hostesses behind him. "um sir we have a code X." she said nervously. "what? Are you sure about that Mallory?" he said bitterly. She nodded and had Danielle and Vlad follow. "whats code X daddy?" Danielle asked. Vlad turned towards his daughter angrily. "code X is short for ex-Girlfriend."

Meanwhile.

Ember and Danny couldn't help but hold in their guts. "so then I told him that the packers won." Danny explained as dash hid his face in embarrassment. "I swear dude they were on steroids." He said frowning. Danny smirked. "packers don't need steroids." He looked at Ember and Paulina. "the steroids need the packers." With that both girls giggled. "a chuck Norris joke reference dipstick?" Ember asked. Danny nodded laughing. "yep better believe it." He said smiling. Danny got up. "well ill get us something to eat." dash got up and smiled. "would you young ladies like anything?" he asked. Ember and paulina grinned. "just two large milkshakes if possible." Ember said sweetly. Danny smiled back. "will do. Cmon dash." He said as both boys walked up to the refreshment table.

Vlad walked into the servalince room with the two women behind him. He looked at the screens with caution. "where did you see her?" he asked. Mallory walked up and pointed at the top right screen. Vlad looked until he saw her. "oh dear." He cursed as he saw Danny and Dash walk into view. "what do we do daddy?" Danielle asked with a worried tone. Vlad turned to his daughter and put his hands on her shoulders. "don't worry your brother is strong remember that." He said receiving a nod from Danielle. He walked up and looked at her. "if she tries anything call security is that understood?" he asked. Mallory nodded and ran up to the phone ready to call.

Danny and Dash walked up and requested the milkshakes. "so dude how are you and paulina doing?" Danny asked smiling. Dash smiled back. "its alright. I admit nothings gone wrong so far." He then had a grim look on his face. "she told me about your breakup with sam though." He said causing Dannys eyes to burn with hatred. "you okay man?" he asked concerned. Danny took a deep breath and smiled. "yeah man im just glad I can move on now." Danny said grinning. Dash smiled patting his old friend on the back. "That's a good thing man let me just say." He said receiving a smile from Danny. Dash was about to say something when Danny felt a tap on his shoulders.

He didn't know how to feel. Angry upset shocked. Sam stood there in her purple dress and two pigtails. "hi Danny." She said quietly. Dash was about to say something but Danny shook his head. "dude go ahead and take the shakes over to the girls ill be there in a second." Dash could tell when Danny was mad and this was one of those times. He nodded in agreement and took the drinks over to their table. Danny turned back towards Sam with anger in his eyes. "okay first off why are you here Sam?" he asked with venom in his voice. Sam flinched but quickly turned to bitterness. "oh nothing much but It is a fundraiser and my parents are rich." She explained. Danny felt like face palming himself. "and is that the only reason?" he asked folding his arms.

Sam stood there sadly. "well no actually." She said more calmly. Danny sighed in annoyance. "look sam I already told you im not interested in a relationship right now." He said irritated. Sam had a look of anger. "so why are you dating someone right now." She retorted. Danny frowned. "first off its only A date. Second because shes my partner from school I thought she could use some time to hang out with people her age." Sam scoffed. "okay one thing Danny shes dead do you even know how old she was when she died?" she asked. Danny was a little bit taken aback at this. His face returned to normal. "so what I like her shes willing to listen to me and actually have my back. Unlike some people." Sam winced and looked down sadden. "Look Sam im sorry but im not interested at all and I mean it." He said turning on his heels and walked towards his table. Once again leaving Sam alone.

Danny sat down next to Ember not smiling until his gaze met Embers. "everything okay Danny?" she asked. Danny frowned. "yeah just Ex problems." He said. Paulina frowned. "what did she want this time?" she asked dryly. Danny took a sip of his drink and frowned. "she still wants another chance." He replied. Embers heart stopped. Danny took another sip and grinned at his friends. "I declined it." He said causing Embers heart to leap. At that moment Vlad walked up to Danny and smiled. "im proud of you Daniel you handled that very maturely. I was afraid I was going to have to call security." He said smirking. They all laughed. "nah its alright dad." He said.

At that moment a song started playing and the lights dimmed. Danny looked over at Ember as Paulina and Dash walked over to the dance floor. He got up and offered his hand. "wanna dance?" he asked. Ember blushed as red as blood and smiled sweetly. "I don't know." She said unsure. Danny laughed. "Oh c'mon it'll be fun." He replied. Ember slowly got up and took dannys hand as he lead her to the middle of the floor. She put her hands around his neck and he put his hands on her waist as the song started up.

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find.

As the song ended Ember got a good look into Danny eyes. She saw something she never saw when she was alive. She saw kindness love and sweetness. They let each other go and couldn't stop blushing. "well that was fun." Ember said smiling. Danny laughed a little bit and nodded. "yeah it was." Dash and Paulina smiled as they watched the two teens smile at each other. Dash turned to face his girlfriend. "bet ya 50 bucks they'll be dating by the end of the month." Paulina smirked. "youre on." Danny led Ember towards his dad who was smiling ear to ear. "well mister masters I really had fun." Ember said smiling sweetly. Vlad bowed respectfully and smiled. "I hope you did miss mclain and I hope to see you again." He replied. Danny turned to Ember smiling. "mind if I escort you home?" he asked. Ember blushed badly. "not at all babypop." She said taking his arm. As the two teens walked down the hall to the lab Vlad smiled watching his son. "im proud of you Daniel very proud." He said to himself. "so did they kiss?" Danielle asked running up to her dad causing him to laugh.
