Chapter 7: the wedding
(3rd person)
Queen Moira was preparing her troops for hostile takeover of the planet earth. "Now soldiers" she said "We must plan this attack carefully. Heaven knows What that witch Ulala has planned." "But what about that phantom girl?" asked Stefan. "Yeah her father saved the earth 20 years ago" said Lazarus. "Hmm… you're right" she said "I must think of a way to get rid of her."
(Ashley's POV)
It was the big day – the day of my parents wedding. I practiced my song all day and night. I must have had 20 cups of Mountain Dew this morning. Anyway despite my predictions, Logan and the Skunk Punks sound great, as much as I hate to say it. So does Hi-Fi Network, with the addition of moi.
I went into mom's dressing room. She looked beautiful in her white, cap-sleeved gown and flower veil. "Ashley!" she said "I didn't hear you come in!" "Mom!' I said "You look gorgeous!" "Aw, thank you sweetie!" she blushed. "You do to by the way." "Mom?" I asked. "Yes Ashley?" mom said. "Why didn't you and dad have a ceremony like this before Logan and I were born?" I asked. Mom sighed. "Because, you were born before we got married." She said "WHAT?" I was shocked. "It was right before we graduated high school, you were conceived" mom sighed "After an argument I had with your dad, I discovered I was pregnant, and ran away from home." "Why didn't you take dad with you?" I asked. "Because he got so famous" mom said "He's a superhero. I didn't want any more responsibility put on him." "How did he find out?" "We bumped into each other at the planet Tokyo. We didn't recognize each other at first." She hugged me. "Now we're doing what we should have done – what I should have done – 14 years ago."
The wedding march played. My cousins Bridget and Bethany dropped flower petals. My mom's cousin Allison's son, Benjamin, carried the rings. Then came out the Matron of Honor and Best Man – Sasha's parents. Then the rest of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. Then my dad took his place up at the altar. Zeddie gave mom away. And the rest as they say is all history.
Mom said I gave a stellar performance of Britney Spears' "Everytime", and dad congratulated grampa and Logan for not messing up on David Bowie's "Suffragette City". "I learned from the best." Grampa said. Then the DJ called up both me and logan to perform a song for the last dance. So, as Logan played guitar, I sang:
Man it's a hot one/ like seven inches from the midday sun/ I hear your words melt everyone/ but you stay so cool/ my monaquita/ my Spanish harlem mona lisa/ you're my reason for reason/ to step in my pool/ and if you said this life ain't good enough/ I would give my world to lift you up/ I would change my life to better suit your mood…/ cause you're so smooth/ and its just like the ocean under the moon it's the sam as the emotion that I get from you/ you got kind of loving that can be so smooth/ gimme your heart and make it real/ or else forget about it
Everyone clapped. After the party, Justin walked up to me. "Hey Ash," he said "Can I speak to you in private?" we waled out to the corridor, "That wedding was so romantic wasn't it?" Justin said. "Yeah," I mused. Suddenly he leaned over and grabbed my face, and he kissed me. Naturally, I kissed back. We pulled away quickly. "Just friends?" I asked "Just friends." Justin said.

"I summoned you three here for a reason," said Empress Ulala to Leslie, Donovan, and Brandon, the trio formerly known as the Masters' Blasters, now known as the Fenton three. "Early on in your career, you were created to make shame danny Phantom into losing his powers." "Ugh! Don't remind me." Said Brandon. "So what do you want us to do now?" asked Leslie. "My evil twin Moira covets the powers of danny and his wife son and daughter." Ulala continued. "So you need us to protect them?" asked Donovan. "Yes," Ulala said "Especially his daughter. I have the feeling she the most powerful of them all."
