Hey guys! Sorry for missing last week. I was so busy that I didn't have the to write, and I still don't. That is why I can no longer promise regular updates, as I have nothing to post after this. I went to see if chapter 4 was ready but it wasn't I'm disappointed about that. I'm actually using up some PT time to do this one so yeah...

I hate to do this but I AM NOT QUITING THIS STORY! I just don't have time to write so updates will not be constant. Life and school punched me in the face so now my schedule is stuffed to the max.

I'm writing this on my phone so sorry about the spacing...

Well, I hope you enjoy!

"Well here we are. Back on the Milano. Peter, Gamora, you guys go and break up the fight. I'll stay here with Ember." They nodded and ran out to prevent a disaster.

"So, this is Vlad's room. Because we used the portal, it will move about the Zone, we were just lucky enough that it was in front of Clockworks Tower. Come on. Let's go to my room to talk. Oh! And you may want to stay invisible. Vlad doesn't know we used the portal, and we don't want him to see you." I added

"Well duh, Dipstick." She said as she disappeared.

I muttered under my breath mockingly as I went intangible and walked out, only to run into Vlad.

"Daniel? What were you doing in my room?" Vlad asked with his calm, yet accusing tone.

"Uh nothing, I just got lost looking for the bathroom…" I said, hoping I didn't fail as bad as I thought I did. Apparently I did because I could hear the very faint sound of Ember face palming.

"You know Daniel, you always were really bad at lying. I don't know how you managed to fool Amity Park for so long, but you defiantly haven't gotten any better at it." Vlad said, raising an eyebrow.

"uh…" I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just went invisible. I remembered Ember, and how she would know where I was, and grabbed her arm and led her to my room.

When we got in there, Ember and I became visible.

"Nice going. Now he won't be suspicious at all! You did a swell job at covering your tracks, Dipstick." Ember said, sarcasm dripping off every word.

"Oh I know. I could tell from your audible face palm back there! Very helpful, by the way. And also, I'm sure I was the only one who could hear it." I said with the same amount of sarcasm in my voice. We stared each other down until we heard a knock from the door. Ember turned invisible, but her eyes lingered so I could see them narrow as the door opened. I snickered at her before looking at who it was. Luckily, I did it quick enough that whoever it was didn't see it.

"Well, well, well. Look who's back! How'd your trip to your freaky Ghost World go?" Rocket said as he entered, and closed the door.

"Well, for starters, a friendly 'hello' to you too. And second, Zone. It's more of a Zone. It went well. I brought a friend back with me." As I finished Ember appeared.

"Is that a talking raccoon?" she said in a bored tone.

"I-I-I-…" Rocket stuttered. I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. Ember, this is Rocket Raccoon. Rocket, this is Ember. Are you ok?" I said suppressing a chuckle.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine. Say, you look familiar. Your name also sounds familiar…" he said quizzically.

"I'm sure it does, Rocket. Her only song was called 'Remember.' The chorus was, 'Oh Ember! You will remember. Oh Ember, so warm and tender! You will remember my name!' Ring a bell?" I said. Ember struck a chord and it hit my arm.

"Hey!"

"Better watch it, Dipstick, or the next one will send you flying." She warned.

" 'Dipstick'?" Rocket raised an eyebrow. Well, a raccoon's version of an eyebrow.

"Call me that, and I promise you will loose half of your tail." My eyes flashed. He gulped. Ember only chuckled.

"Well, I'm gonna go find Skulker-" she started but I stopped her.

"No. We can't risk Vlad seeing you. I'll find him and bring him here." As I finished my sentence, I turned intangible and melted through the wall.

I found Skulker right away. "Hey Skulker?"

He turned. "What is it whelp? Did you get everything you needed from my island?"

"Yes, but could you follow me please? I think you may want to see what we got from the island." I said as I turned to lead him to my room. I didn't want to ruin the surprise. Hopefully he'll be glad to see Ember.

I opened the door and Ember struck a chord on her guitar. Since I wasn't expecting it, I was sent flying. I went intangible to keep from making Vlad anymore suspicious than he was by hitting a random wall.

As I was knocked into space, I stopped my "fall" and flew back into my room. I noticed, right before I went back on the ship, that we were getting close to a planet that looked similar to Earth, but was larger.

"What the heck?! I told you I would be right back!" I said angrily when I saw Ember. I also noticed that Rocket was gone.

"I know." She said smugly. She never even looked at me. Her and Skulker were staring into each others eye's. I turned around to keep from staring. I thought of Sam instead, and how much she must miss me. She must be freaking out by now that I didn't come and tell her where I was going myself. Heh. She always freaks out when I don't bring her or Tucker with me.

When Ember and Skulker were done with their "moment" Skulker turned to me.

"Was this it? Did you only bring Ember? Or did you actually bring back what you were supposed to?" he said with an accusing tone.

"Yes, we brought back a good arsenal. Also, I may have destroyed your testing area?" I said, worried of what his reaction will be to this information.

"YOU WHAT?!" he boomed.

"Shh! Not so loud! Vlad might hear you! And yes, I destroyed your testing course, BUT! It was because Dan had been mentioned a few times ok!" I said in my defense.

Skulker nodded, understanding why I did it now. But he still had a look that said, "I still wish to hang your pelt on my wall even more because of this."

"Dipstick you really didn't have to tell them. It was none of their business. I could make them forget it if you want? Just so they don't mention it again." She started to turn the knob on her guitar but I stopped her.

"No, no I did. This whole thing started on lies. And they were already afraid; why make them even more so by not telling them what caused him to be created?" she looked like she didn't think I was right, but she let it go.

"Ember, you should probably stay in here or the brig just so Vlad doesn't discover you." She did not look happy.

"Get the shrink, Dipstick. I only agreed to help you because Skulker is here. That does not give you the right to boss me around. I'll do whatever I want!" she said defiantly.

Skulker spoke up. "No he's right. Vlad is still stronger than both of us, and I don't want you to get hurt."

Ember looked offended. "I can take care of myself!" she said, turning to Skulker. He only looked at her. This was really weird for me, because not only were Ember and Skulker having a fight right in front of me, Skulker actually said I was right. This adventure just keeps getting weirder and weirder.

Well there you go! I hope it was good enough to last a while, since I have no idea when that next time I get to write is.

I'm honestly a little sad that this story didn't get NEAR as must response as the first one, but hey I'll take what I can get. I hope to be able to see reviews when I get back, even negative ones are welcome! Just don't hate on anyone else but me OK? Thank y'all!

So, hopefully this will satisfy for a while and please enjoy your lives in the meantime! Bye guys!
