FANNING THE FLAMES
Within the never ending realm of the Ghost Zone, Tucker and Sam were sitting in the Spectre Speeder watching Danny and Dayla get pinned to the ground by a blue skinned ghost in pyjamas, his name was Klemper and beside Box Ghost, he was one of the most annoying ghosts in the Ghost Zone. Sam and Tucker had on their ears, Jack and Maddie's latest invention the Fenton Phones.
"UGH! GET OFF KLEMPER!" Danny and Dayla both demanded.
"But I just want to be your friend!" Klemper exclaimed as he picked them both up and pulled them into a hug.
"Can someone please remind me why this was such a good idea" Danny said.
"Hey you two were the ones who wanted to map out the Ghost Zone" Sam said through her ear pieces.
"You're also the ones who don't have to wear these stupid Fenton Phones" Tucker said.
He pushed a button on his PDA which began to play this new song called Remember through the ear pieces, Sam cringed at the noise and then glared as she didn't really like this song that Tucker started listening to.
"Good thing these also work as wireless head phones, because these things are a fashion don't" Tucker said.
"Well they're not supposed to look good. The devices filter out spectral noise so we can communicate with each other" Dayla said as they continued to try and get out of Klemper's grip, Klemper then pinned them both to the ground again and tried hugging them.
"Like when we say things such as, help get this thing off me!" Danny exclaimed as he used his legs to try and keep Klemper back.
Sam looked at the Fenton Phones in the mirror and said, "They're not stupid. I think they make great techno-Goth earrings"
"Really? I think they look great on you too" Danny said out loud and then Klemper grabbed him by the mouth.
Sam blushed at that comment, while Tucker continued dancing to the song. Danny and Dayla finally managed to get out of Klemper's hold and tried flying off, but Klemper jumped in front of them and froze them solid with his ice breath. Danny and Dayla activated their ghost energy and blasted themselves out of the ice, Danny's eyes widened when he saw a fridge behind Klemper and quickly whispered a plan to Dayla, and Danny then made Klemper chase him while Dayla stood at the fridge ready.
Danny made Klemper follow him to the fridge, he then jumped out of the way as Dayla opened it and watched as Klemper fly into the icy cold realm that was inside the door, they both closed the fridge shut and then Danny blasted the lock off the door. They both then flew inside the Spectre Speeder and transformed back into their human forms as they sat down, they both then shivered and rubbed their hands together to try and get warm. Dayla managed to get warmed up, but Danny was still shivering.
"Can a ghost get frostbite?" Danny asked as he continued to rub his hands together.
"Oh here my hands are warm" Sam said as she grabbed onto Danny's hands.
Danny and Sam then blushed and smiled weakly at each other, they both then stopped when they all heard Tucker singing, "EMBER! GO EMBER! REMEMBER!"
Dayla had her ears covered and Danny chuckled a little bit as he took his hands back and placed them on his ears as he said, "I think I'm gonna need my hands for this"
"TUCKER CAN YOU STOP PLEASE?" Dayla asked in a loud voice, but Tucker kept right on singing.
Sam then turned the Spectre Speed and headed back through the Fenton Portal. The next day at Casper High, Tucker was wearing a black shirt with a blue flame on it and also a purple beret that had the blue flame and the letter e which stood for Ember MacLaine, apparently she was this new singer everyone was going crazy for.
Sam and Dayla were wearing the Fenton Phones, as they all walked down the hallway Ember's song Remember was playing loudly on Tucker's PDA.
"I don't get it. This Ember MacLaine comes out of no-where and suddenly she's the biggest thing since MP3'S, it's so…." Danny began and then Sam cut in, "Infuriating how mindless pre-packaged bubble corporate bubble gum is preventing true music artists from being heard?"
"I was gonna say weird but okay" Danny said, Sam smiled. Dayla then added, "I know even Jazz is going nuts for Ember, it's getting kind of annoying"
"Ember's not just about music, she's an expression of my unique individuality" Tucker said with satisfaction.
When they all turned at the corner, they all stopped and went wide eyed as they saw the entire school wearing Ember clothes that are related to Ember MacLaine, there were even now posters on the walls of the school that said Ember rocks or had pictures of the teen idol who was seen as having blue flaming hair, black eye shadow and wearing a black singlet shirt with one hand covered in a arm length black glove.
"Oh yeah your one of a kind! Every single one of you" Sam said sarcastically.
Paulina then walked up and noticed the Fenton Phones that Sam and Dayla were wearing. She snickered and asked sarcastically, "Nice earrings! Sale at the eighty-nine cent store?"
"For your information they were a gift, Danny gave them to me" Sam retorted back.
"Really he gave you earrings? HA! Always knew you two losers would end up together and you Dayla don't think wearing those earrings don't make you any less of a freak" Paulina said as she walked away.
"I'M NOT A FREAK!" Dayla shouted.
"WE'RE NOT LOSERS!" Sam then shouted.
"We're not together!" Danny exclaimed.
All three of them then cringed as Tucker sang out loud, "EMBER! GO EMBER! EMBER! REMEMBER! EMBER! GO EMBER!"
Tucker then cringed when all three of them shouted at Tucker, "WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN!"
"Hey check it out! The lovebirds are ganging up on Foley!" Dash teased.
"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Danny and Sam shouted at the same time, giving Dash a glare.
A few minutes later, all of them were in Mr Lancer's classroom but this time they were all sitting in front of three computer screens on each of their desks and wearing some sort of helmet.
"As you know the North-western Nine Standardised Testing starts in two days and because my bonus is proportional to your grades, we've installed the Cramtastic Mark 5 the latest in state of the art subliminal study aid technology. Let the learning begin!" Mr Lancer announced and then clicked the red button on the machine to start.
Suddenly all the computer screens were showing Ember singing her song Remember, while all the students cheered for their idol Danny, Dayla and Sam removed their helmets in annoyance. Mr Lancer then pressed the off button and opened the disc hatch, it was revealed that someone had put a DVD of a live concert of Ember, Mr Lancer pulled out the disc and gave all the students glares.
But just when he was about to say something, loud drums could be heard everywhere, Mr Lancer looked at Tucker thinking it was his PDA playing that music.
"FOLEY! Turn off that blasted PDA!" Mr Lancer demanded as he threw the disc away.
"It's not me! It's coming from outside!" Tucker exclaimed and gestured to the window.
All the students in the room then took off their helmets and ran over to the window, they watched as a truck with a stage on the back that had a banner that said Ember pull up in front of the school and then suddenly in a flash of smoke, Ember stood on the stage holding her signature purple guitar, more smoke appeared and behind her now stood a zombie like drummer and two more guitarist.
As soon as Ember started singing and playing her guitar, the whole of Casper High came out running screaming and cheering for the teen sensation.
"HELLO CASPER HIGH! TELL ME WHO YOU LOVE!" Ember shouted through the microphone.
"EMBER! EMBER! EMBER!" The students cheered and then Ember threw her head back as her hair started flaring up.
"That's it babies say my name! Are you ready for a little youth revolution?!" Ember shouted again causing the students to scream and cheer more for her.
While Danny, Dayla and Sam just stood at the front doors of the school doing nothing but watch, Tucker jumped into the crowd and got carried up above their heads.
"WE LOVE YOU EMBER!" Tucker exclaimed.
"That's because I fill a void in your empty lives!" Ember exclaimed.
Suddenly Danny and Dayla gasped and their eyes widened as their ghost senses went off, they looked around for the ghost. Mr Lancer then came out into the crowd with a megaphone and stood on top of a fire hydrant, there was no way he was going to let this woman disrupt his students learning.
"Attention freakishly dressed teen idol! I order to cease and desist!" Mr Lancer demanded through the megaphone.
"Desist this grandpa!" Ember retorted back, she then turned the dial on her guitar to a picture of a vortex and strummed on the stings hard.
A visible purple wave of energy then hit some of the students, who eyes then turned red and they turned around growling at Mr Lancer in anger, they were just about ready to attack him.
"Pride and Prejudice!" Mr Lancer screamed in fright and jumped off the fire hydrant.
"Ember's the ghost? Oh my gosh!" Danny and Dayla exclaimed at the same time.
They both then transformed into their ghost forms and said in unison, "We gotta save Lancer!"
"Wow this is bittersweet" Danny said in shock and then they took off towards Mr Lancer.
As the students began to advance on the out of shape teacher, Danny and Dayla flew down and held onto him as they turned him and themselves intangible and allowed the angry students to pass right through them. They let Mr Lancer go and flew off to take care of Ember, leaving him to be confused as to why he wasn't hurt by the students.
"Now to knock the pop princess of the…." Dayla began to say, only they found that the truck was gone and so was Ember and she finished, "Charts?"
Sam walked up to a completely dazed Tucker, who then shook his head and exclaimed bitterly, "Hey! No encore? What's that all about!"
The next day it was far worse, Mr Lancer was walking down the hallway holding some magazines about Ember.
"Ember? Ember? Ember? If I see one hint of that woman in school today I'll…" He stopped and froze as he looked everywhere that all the students were wearing Ember gear and posters and banners were still hung up everywhere.
"Chicken Soup for the Soul!" Mr Lancer exclaimed in shock.
Danny, Dayla and Sam then walked up to Tucker who was not only wearing his Ember t-shirt, but also black eyeliner like her and wearing a blue flaming wig, which earned him strange looks from his friends.
"Okay Tucker your starting to scare me and I fight ghosts" Dayla said.
"It an Ember thing, you wouldn't understand it" Tucker said.
"Um you do realise she's an evil mind controlling spirit from another dimension?" Sam asked.
"Yeah but you said the same thing about Paulina" Tucker retorted back.
"You know he has a point" Danny said and speaking of Paulina she ran up to them in full Ember gear and announced, "Hey everyone! Ember's giving away free concert tickets at Bucky's Music Mega Store!"
She then looked at Tucker and complimented, "Nice hair!"
"Thanks! Nice hair!" Tucker complimented back.
Then all the students, except for Danny, Dayla and Sam began to run towards the front doors screaming, "EMBER! EMBER! EMBER! EMBER!"
Mr Lancer blocked the doorway and exclaimed, "You people aren't going anywhere except…."
He was suddenly cut off as the students knocked him over as they ran out the doors, Danny grabbed onto Tucker's arm, Sam held onto Danny and Dayla was trying to push Tucker back from the front of him in an effort to keep him from leaving the building.
"Must…have…Ember…tickets!" Tucker exclaimed with determination as he struggled against his friends.
"We're gonna have to de-program him" Sam said.
Danny and Sam then looked at down at each other and then let go whistling in embarrassment, a few minutes later they were all in the classroom where the Cramtastic Mark 5 was and Dayla just finished tying Tucker to the chair in front of one of the computer screens. Sam then turned on the machine and placed the helmet on Tucker's head, they then allowed the computer to do its work.
"This is where the healing starts" Sam said and then they left the classroom and headed towards Danny's locker.
"I still don't get why we're not effected by Ember's music" Danny said as he put his arm in his locker intangibly and grabbed the Fenton Thermos.
"Neither do I" Dayla said.
"Maybe because of your ghost powers and my…" Sam began to say, but then Danny cut in and said, "Individuality or intelligence?"
Sam blushed and asked, "I was gonna say utter distain for anything popular but okay. You really think I'm smart?"
Dayla watched and smirked as Danny blushed at that question, suddenly they heard, "Not so fast!"
They all looked up to see a bruised Mr Lancer glaring down at them as he began, "You and you two lovebirds maybe the only students left in the entire school…"
"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Danny and Sam exclaimed.
"But that's not gonna stop me from giving you an education" Mr Lancer said with determination as he grabbed all three of them by their arms and dragging them to a classroom.
All three of them then smirked as they trailed behind him, Dayla turned intangible and invisible and phased out of Mr Lancer's grip, Danny grabbed Sam's hand and turned them both invisible and intangible and phased out of Mr Lancer's grip as well, all three of them then flew off and phased out of the school.
Mr Lancer entered the classroom and then gasped as he noticed that they were no longer with him, he then exclaimed, "Lord of the Flies! They're slipping right through my hands!"
Sam held onto Danny as they all flew over to Bucky's Music Mega store, as Dayla flew ahead of them she noticed Sam smiling at Danny. Danny looked at her and asked, "Are you okay Sam?"
"Huh? Oh yeah it's just really nice up here. Flying's nice" Sam said and blushed.
Danny then looked back and blushed as well, however in their distraction Danny and Sam crashed into a billboard model of Ember that was standing on top of the store and fell on the roof.
"Falling stinks!" Sam then said.
"Lovebirds" Dayla said in her head as she shook her head at them.
They all entered the store to see the students cheering for Ember who was standing on a platform above them and throwing them concert tickets.
"Something tells me that they're not going to love seeing their idol being sucked inside the Fenton Thermos" Danny said.
Sam then smiled as she thought of an idea and said, "I think I can distract them, Danny fly me over to the cardboard Ember over there"
Danny flew Sam over and then hid with Dayla, waiting for the right moment. The crowd kept calling out her name until someone saw Sam draw on Ember's cardboard face and all of them gasped as they looked at her.
"Hey everybody look! It's Ember MacLame!" Sam exclaimed.
Ember glared and then said preparing her guitar, "Oh great a critic! Maybe you'll like my new song better"
But just as she was about to hit the strings, Danny and Dayla blasted her back with a combined ecto blast.
"Hey do you take requests? How about beat it!" Dayla shouted.
"How about I just lay out a few power cords instead dipsticks?" Ember retorted back and then hit her guitar and sent a blast at them, just as Danny was about to uncap the thermos.
The blast hit them both and sent them flying back, the thermos flew out of Danny's hand and landed on the cardboard Ember that Sam was still standing on. Ember laughed evilly and then disappeared in a circle of flames, Danny and Dayla then flew up onto the roof to find her floating there.
Danny then charged and grabbed her hands as he said sarcastically, "Dipsticks! HO! HO! Funny! Who writes your insults, the same hack who writes your songs?"
More people began chanting her name and Danny suddenly felt himself being overpowered by the flame haired ghost, she pushed him back and he struggled to hold her back as her hair flared up more. She gave him a grin as she continued to hold him back.
"Chanting…makes her….stronger!" Danny said through his struggling.
"You got that right baby pop and the more kids chanting, the stronger I get" Ember said as she flipped him over her shoulder.
Dayla then tried charging at her and aimed to kick her, but she grabbed her foot, spun her in a circle and threw her into Danny, they both hit the large cardboard Ember making it fall down on the roof flat, with one end of it hanging over the building, they both then gasped as Ember floated over them.
"You two think I'm strong now, just wait until midnight when my concert goes global and the whole world's chanting my name! Then you'll all be my slaves!" Ember exclaimed, she then slammed on the strings of her guitar sending a blast that hit them both dead on.
They screamed in pain and then hit the roof hard, they were so weak that they both transformed back into their human forms. Dayla was on the other side of the roof just getting up, when she saw Ember floating closer to Danny, preparing her guitar for another hit.
"Get away from him!" Sam demanded as she ran in with the thermos and stood in front of Danny defiantly, Danny sat up holding his head in pain, Dayla managed to get up and ran over and stood next to Sam, however she was still too weak to go back into her ghost form.
"Oh teen love! They say it never last, but nothing distracts teenagers more than hormones and I need to keep you two busy for the next eight hours" Ember said, she then turned the dial on her guitar to the heart shape and then said, "I have more than just music for you, now that they're chanting my name my music can affect you! How about a love song?"
She then strummed down on the strings, the blast hit all three of them dead on, Dayla and Sam were blasted onto the other end of the cardboard Ember which came close to falling off the edge of the building. Once the blast finished, Danny suddenly smiled and then turned around giving Sam a lovesick look which earned him looks of confusion from Dayla and Sam.
"Well I think I leave the new couple alone. Chao babies!" Ember said and then phased back into the building laughing.
"New couple? What the heck is she talking about?" Sam asked.
But Danny didn't pay any attention and he began to crawl onto the cardboard Ember towards them.
"Uh Danny now might be a really good time to go ghost and fly us out of this, because right now I can't go ghost" Dayla said.
But Danny kept crawling towards them, Dayla and Sam noticed the board becoming more unbalanced the more closer her got to them.
"Danny wait! What are you doing?" Sam asked.
"Wow! I just never realised Sam, that you're really beautiful when you're about to fall off a building" Danny said as he stopped in the middle of the board. Danny then stood up and was about to walk more towards them.
"Danny stop!" Dayla shouted, trying to keep the board balance.
"Don't come any closer!" Sam said.
"But you're over there and I'm over here. I wanna be over there" Danny said.
Sam eyes then widened as she said, "Wait I know that look! That's the same longing puppy dog stare you used to give to Paulina"
"It must be Ember's spell from her guitar, she's made him think that you and he are a couple" Dayla then said as she realised what she was talking about as well.
"Who's Paulina?" Danny asked dreamingly.
"Okay I'll admit that's a pleasant side effect" Dayla said. Sam then nodded in agreement and said, "A really good side effect!"
Danny then walked towards them more causing the board to fall forward more, the girls were really starting to get terrified as they began to slip down on it, as Danny then took one more step the board leaned enough and Dayla and Sam slipped off, screaming in fright as they were heading straight towards the ground, but before they hit it a hand grabbed them both and held them up, they looked up to see it was a member of the SWAT team that grabbed them. They looked around to see the entire store surrounded by SWAT teams.
Mr Lancer stood on top of a school bus and announced over a megaphone as the SWAT teams started loading the children into the vans, "Attention students! Under the emergency mass grounding act, you are all under house arrest. You will now be returned to your homes to await parental punishment and as for your precious Ember she's going down!"
He looked up and saw that the large cardboard Ember was falling down towards him, he screamed and then jumped out of the way just in time as the board crushed the school bus, Danny appeared from behind the board completely dazed and still under Ember's spell.
Dash and Kwan then ran up to the broken board and exclaimed in unison, "EMBER WE LOVE YOU!"
A few minutes later, a SWAT van pulled up in front of Fenton Works and the SWAT team members threw Danny, Dayla and Jazz into the house and they landed right in front of Jack and Maddie on the floor.
"What is the matter with you kids?" Jack asked.
"You need to be preparing for the North-western Nine Standardised Testing tomorrow" Maddie said frowning upon their behaviour.
"How can I study? All I can think about is Sam" Danny said dreamingly, Dayla then groaned in annoyance.
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you thinking about Ember?" Jazz asked shocked.
"Well I'm thinking about putting all three of you in the Fenton Stockades" Jack said.
All five of them then headed down stairs, where Jack had made a medieval looking dungeon apparently he made it for a new way to punish the kids whenever needed. Maddie opened one of the containment chambers that looked like a coffin.
"Jack we can't lock the kids in some medieval containment device" Maddie said.
"Oh alright, we'll just ground them like any other parent" Jack groaned in disappointment.
"I'm going to Ember MacLaine's midnight concert tonight and there's nothing you can do about it" Jazz said defiantly as she grabbed Danny and Dayla and started heading back upstairs.
Maddie scoffed in disbelief and grabbed them all back as she exclaimed, "You and your siblings are not leaving this house young lady!"
"Fenton Stockades" Jack suggested again in a sing song voice.
Maddie just glared and before he knew it, he was locked inside the chamber and then he shouted in shock, "I MEANT THEM!"
Later a truck that played Remember drove down the streets, Jazz used a grappling hook and escaped out her window, suddenly all the students were escaping their homes and began heading to the concert. Meanwhile Dayla entered Danny's room and saw him sitting on the bed meditating in front of some stuff that was all about Sam, pictures of Sam, noted from Sam that they passed through in class and other stuff.
"Sam. Sam" Danny said in a trance like voice as he continued to meditate. Dayla then walked up and shook him out of it and said, "Uh Danny I hate to break it to you, but you and Sam are not a couple and we kind of have to take care of Ember. Like now!"
"Dayla! We are a couple! You're just jealous because you haven't found anybody yet!" Danny yelled in annoyance.
Dayla was about to say something, but then she remained silent as she looked down. She knew that he only said it because he was under a spell, but it still kind of hurt. Suddenly they both heard a tapping on the window, they both looked and saw it was Sam just outside on a ladder.
"Sam! You snuck out to see me! Oh this is just like Romeo and Juliet except I'm the one on the balcony and I can understand everything we're saying" Danny said happily.
"Danny open up!" Sam said. Danny walked over and opened the window and allowed her to come in, he then began to say, "You want me to open up? Okay one time when I was five, I really wanted a puppy but my parents…"
"Will you knock it off? We have to stop Ember's concert before she takes over the world" Sam said with a bit of annoyance, she then looked at the stuff on Danny's bed and then said weirded out, "Okay even though a part of me is really liking the attention, I am really getting freaked out by this"
"I'm getting freaked out here too" Dayla said.
"It doesn't matter so long as we have each other" Danny said as he held Sam's hands.
"SNAP OUT OF IT! You don't really feel that way about me and I don't feel that way about you" Sam said as she grabbed onto his hands.
Danny then smirked and asked, "So why are you still holding my hands?"
Sam looked down and then let go, Danny then asked, "And why are you still wearing those Fenton Phones I gave you?"
"Danny they're not even real earrings, they're just some stupid communicators that…" Sam then stopped for a second and then said in realisation, "Filter out ghost noise"
"Does this mean we're breaking up?" Danny asked.
Dayla at first was confused but then she caught on as she pulled off her own pair of Fenton Phones and said, "That's it! That's why neither Sam nor myself haven't been effected by Ember's music, it's because we've been wearing these"
"That's right and Danny wasn't wearing them at the time, so he got the full effect of the spell" Sam then added.
"So we're not breaking up?" Danny asked. Sam then got really annoyed and said, "How can we be breaking up? We were never together!"
Sam then grabbed his arm and said, "We're gonna have to deprogram you, like we did with Tucker"
"Speaking of Tucker, where is he?" Dayla asked as they began to walk out of the room. They both then stopped as they realised they completely forgot about Tucker.
"Oh my gosh! Tucker!" Sam and Dayla both exclaimed in unison.
A few minuted later, they arrived at the school and entered the classroom where they left Tucker in front of the computer screen and they found his eyes really wide and his lips shaking.
"Twelve…hours…of…intensive standardized test prep" Tucker said in a robotic voice.
Sam removed the helmet and began untying him as she said, "Tucker I am so sorry"
"You're beautiful when you're racked with guilt" Danny said.
"Not now Danny!" Sam said annoyed.
"Well it's about time! Always knew you two would end up together" Tucker said happily.
"They're not together Tucker. Ember cast a love spell on him and this was the result" Dayla clarified.
"So Sam does that mean you don't want to end up together?" Tucker asked.
"I don't know. Maybe but not like this" Sam answered.
"Tucker we need to break the spell somehow" Dayla then said with urgency.
"Then let's crank up the computer and we'll see him in twelve hours" Tucker said as he reached for one of the helmets.
Dayla looked at the clock and said, "We don't have twelve hours, and Ember's concert goes live in fifteen minutes"
"She gets her power when people chant her name and with the whole world watching she'll become unstoppable" Sam then added.
"Then we better head down to that show and crank down the volume" Tucker said and all of them started leaving the classroom as Tucker suddenly said, "The volume of the sphere is equal to the square of the radius of the base times pi times the height. WOW! That thing really works and I spent the first nine years of my school life actually reading?"
Down at the concert hall, all the teens were entering the arena while Danny, Dayla, Sam and Tucker phased out of the ground and headed around the back stage door, Dayla and Danny were in human form right now. The security guard was asleep so Danny and Dayla just phased them all through the door, they all headed to the control panel.
"Tucker go kill the power, we'll stand watch" Sam said and then Tucker headed to the controls. She looked behind her and noticed Danny just staring at her with the puppy dog look, she then asked with annoyance, "Uh can you watch something besides me?"
Danny then stopped but pulled out a photograph of Sam and stared at that, Sam and Dayla both then gave a groan of annoyance wishing that the spell was broken.
"Okay cutting off the power" Tucker said, but he accidently turned on the PA system and said out loud, "Electrical power equals electrical current times electrical potential. Man I gotta stop doing that"
They were all unware that Ember, Dash and Kwan had heard him over the PA system. Dash and Kwan we're Ember's security guards, so they followed her backstage where they saw them there.
"WE LOVE YOU EMBER!" Dash and Kwan exclaimed. Ember then ordered, "I heard you the twelfth time, now bag them and gag them!"
Dash grabbed Sam, Kwan grabbed Danny, and one of the other jocks grabbed Dayla and another one grabbed Tucker and pulled him away from the control panel. They were brought up to Ember who was standing on the side of the stage smiling evilly at them, the lights dimmed down in the arena and the band started playing some music. The concert was beginning!
"We are on the air in five seconds" One of the camera men announced.
"Later dipsticks! I gotta go rock my world and when I say my world, I mean my world!" Ember exclaimed as her hair flared up and she walked onto the stage.
Dayla struggled to get out of the jock's grip and said, "Danny! We got to stop her now!"
"I won't leave Sam" Danny said defiantly.
"Just forget about me!" Sam demanded but Danny once again said defiantly, "I can't! I won't!"
All of them heard Ember exclaim on the microphone, "HELLO AMITY PARK! TELL ME WHO YOU LOVE!"
"EMBER MACLAINE! EMBER MACLAINE!" The audience kept shouting repeatedly and Ember felt her more grow even more.
She began playing and singing Remember and as they concert went live, all around the world kept shouting her name including Germany, Japan, Arabia and even Australia! (A/N Which is where I'm from!)
Sam then said, "I hate to do this to you Danny, but if I can't break Ember's spell then I'm gonna have to break your heart"
She wiggled out of Dash's grip and then Dayla's jaw dropped when she suddenly jumped up and kissed Dash right on the lips.
"Sam how could you? How…Hey! Get away from her!" Danny shouted in anger as the spell began to leave him.
"AHHH! She tastes like geek!" Dash exclaimed in disgust and then Sam exclaimed in disgust, "AHHH! He tastes like failure!"
Dash screamed and all the jocks then ran out of the room, Sam then noticed Danny's sad look and began to say, "Danny I am so sorry…
"You and Dash? But we were….but we weren't were we?" Danny asked as the effects of the spell lifted more.
"No Ember did that. It's just that this is so hard, part of me…part of me really liked this" Sam answered sadly.
Danny looked down and then he glared at Ember and muttered in anger as his eyes glowed green, "Ember!"
"Danny? Are you okay?" Dayla asked.
"No I feel like my hearts been ripped out, but I know who I can take it out on!" Danny exclaimed in anger.
He then clenched his fist and transformed into his ghost form, Dayla then followed suit and they both flew off to fight Ember, Sam pushed her hair back and smiled at Danny glad that the spell was finally broken.
The audience continued to cheer and chant Ember's name as she continued to perform Remember, she kept feeling her power boost every minute that she sang, and suddenly she felt two powerful kicks hit her and sent her crashing through the giant TV.
"Hey no hit wonder! Mind if we jam with the band?" Danny shouted as he and Dayla both landed on the stage.
Ember then came out of the broken screen and flew back down onto the stage with her guitar, she was really mad now!
"Ge this straight dipsticks! I don't do group numbers!" Ember shouted angrily and sent a blast at them from her guitar.
The blast hit them dead on and sent them flying to the ground within the audience, Danny and Dayla recovered quickly and phased into the ground, Ember walked up to the microphone stand to start singing again, but then suddenly the microphone stand was snatched away from her mouth, she turned to see Dayla holding the microphone stand in her hands.
"Sorry no vocals in this number! Maybe you should try mime instead" Dayla said. Danny then came up with another microphone stand as Ember charged at Dayla and tried hitting her with her guitar.
Dayla dodged the swing and then blocked an attack from above her head with the stand, she pushed Ember off and then Danny tried hitting her with his, but Ember blocked his blow with her guitar, she then tried attacking them both, but Danny and Dayla blocked her blow with both their weapons. All three them then charged at each other, all three weapons hit each other's and were pushed back by the force, Danny landed on the ground dropping his weapon, while Dayla managed to stay standing, Ember then charged again and although she blocked her blow, Dayla was pushed to the ground by the force and the mic stand was broken in half.
Ember dropped her guitar and lit her hands with ghost energy, she screamed out as she sent it at them and trapped them both in a tornado like cage. The audience were just thinking that the fight was all part of the show and continued to shout out Ember's name.
"You hear that? Their chanting my name all over the world! The revolution will be televised!" Ember exclaimed as she prepared more ghost energy in her hand.
"She's too strong! I few can just stop the crowd from chanting with something horrible that will break the spell like Sam kissing Dash" Danny said. Dayla then noticed a smiling Tucker and then looked at the still working microphone in her hand.
"Or worse…..Danny I have an idea! Tucker's singing could do it! Hey Tucker sing! Take the mic and sing!" Dayla said as she threw the microphone to Tucker who caught it in his hand.
"Wait you want me to sing? But you guys said I stink!" Tucker shouted back.
"Oh ah….We we're kidding. You rock! You rock out loud!' Danny encouraged.
With a newfound confidence and determination, Tucker ran out onto the stage and began to sing. It was so horrible, that it was working!
TUCKER
Ember!
You will remember!
Ember!
One thing remains!
Ember!
So warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
As Tucker finished, the spell was fully lifted and the audience suddenly stopped chanting and looked at the stage in confusion. All around the world, people began covering their ears, shutting off their televisions and even destroying them, just to stop hearing Tucker singing.
Ember felt her flaming hair diminish and her power dropping. She ran to the front and screamed in desperation, "WHAT! WAIT! NO STOP!"
The cage disappeared and Danny and Dayla smiled as they were freed.
"NO! TELL ME WHO YOU LOVE! COME ON SAY IT! SAY MY NAME!" Ember demanded, but the audience remained quiet and confused, Ember then dropped to the ground completely powerless and her eyes began to twitch.
"The only thing we're saying is goodbye!" Danny and Dayla said in unison, Danny then pulled out the thermos and sucked a screaming defeated Ember.
They looked around and saw the band members disappear. Dayla then said to Tucker who was still singing, "Okay you can stop now"
As the spell finally lifted from Tucker, he stood up and his wig fell off and then he looked at the audience in confusion, but suddenly the crowd began to cheer for Tucker.
Danny and Dayla flew back to the side of the stage and transformed back into their human forms. Sam then exclaimed as she hugged Danny, "Guys that was awesome!"
Sam then noticed what she was doing, she let go and blushed as she said nervously, "I guess Ember's spell hasn't quite worn off yet"
Danny just smiled at her and blushed as well, Tucker then came up from behind Sam and said to her, "You were never under Ember's spell"
Sam then glared and elbowed him in the stomach. They all went home that night, Danny stopped Dayla for a second and said, "Hey Dayla I remembered what I said to you when I was under Ember's spell, I'm sorry about that"
Dayla smiled and hugged her brother tightly as she said, "Danny it's okay. You didn't know what you were saying while under the spell, I know you didn't mean anything by it"
As they let go Danny then said, "I just want you to know, that you are very pretty and I know a guy will like you someday"
"Thanks Danny and good night" Dayla said smiling at that and then went into her bedroom.
The next day everyone took the test and with no surprise everyone failed it, well except for one student. Mr Lancer and Principle Ishiyama stood in front of the class as everyone else sat at the computers.
"These test scores are the worst school history, no doubt to the late night carousing prior to test day" Mr Lancer announced with a glare but then he smiled as he continued, "However one student's perfect score did managed to bring the entire school average up, which is good news for my bonus"
"Therefore Tucker Foley is excused from this afternoon's mandatory cramtastic session" Principle Ishiyama finished.
"YES! This would be an example of irony, a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result" Tucker said as he left the class, with two fan girls on each arm.
"I don't suppose either of you could release Ember or get us out of this?" Sam asked hopefully.
"Nope. Besides she's a little busy right now" Danny answered with a wide grin.
What Danny and Dayla did when they returned Ember back to the Ghost Zone, was they put her in the same lair that they trapped Klemper in. Ember was groaning in annoyance as she was followed around by the pyjama wearing ghost.
"EMBER! EMBER!" Klemper kept shouting.
"STOP SYAING MY NAME!" Ember demanded in annoyance and frustration, but Klemper ignored her and kept chanting her name.
