Chapter 4

The first gig

"Alright we got a gig at some backyard party. Now all we need is a set list." Stated ember looking over the request form. They were all eating breakfast in the main kitchen. "We should do songs that show off our skills." Stated Danny. "That way we can pave our way to fame with a quick demonstration. For the drumming expo, we should do hot for teacher, the base we should do sweet emotion, for my guitar and vocals we should do enter sandman. And for you ember we will preform your song. And for an encore how about…" "Through the fire and flames?" asked Dani. The events that followed are (if you played GH3 or saw the song preformed live) completely expectable. Danny choked on his cereal, Sam did a spit take with her OJ, ember passed out from the thought, and everyone in the house who heard the suggestion poured into the room and made fun of her. "What did I do!" She asked.

"Only chose the third hardest song in the world." Stated Joe who felt sorry for her. "Forget that lets do something classic like come together for an encore." Said ember that had woken up. "Now let's practice people!" she yelled enthusiastically.

The gig went off without a hitch. They preformed at there best and it was beyond enough. They went home and celebrated. The party was fantastic. Halfway through it ember went up to Danny and said. "You have earned my respect dipstick, so I am going to teach you how to make your own spirit instrument after the next gig." "Spirit instrument?" asked Danny. "Like my guitar and my bands instruments." Ember explained. On the other side of the room Sam was talking to Pandora when Joe asked to talk to her alone. "What's up" she asked. "I want to help you guys win. I have powers like my father and I have seen the future. Without you guys battling Lou there seems to be only defeat in our future. That's why after your third gig I'm going to teach you guys how to unlock your special rock abilities." "Ok but why tell me? Why not tell everyone?" asked Sam. "Because I felt it was important to tell you." He replied. "You guys are the only ones that can seem to accept me, just because I'm a grim reaper." He said sadly. "Don't worry, to me you are a person, trust me you and Danny both have self esteem issues because of your powers. Hell it wasn't until Danny revealed his powers to the world that he got over the feelings of being, to quote him right now, a creepy little freak. So don't worry about others, it's about what you do in life, not what others think about you." Sam said comfortingly. "Thanks, you are a kind person." Joe said with a smile.

After the party ended, ember was drunk. So Danny had to help her back to the room and give her his dad's patented Fenton buzzkill. "Alright three cups of hot sauce, one cup of liquid sower, one Advil for the removal of the head ache, and chill till it's almost ice." Danny used his freezing powers to cool it. "Alright ember drink up." He said with a smile. "Budidonwannaaaa." She said while making a pouty face. Danny had a hard time dealing with the face. "It's for your own good, if you don't you will feel terrible tomorrow." He reasoned. "Ooohhkaaay" she said and gulped down the whole thing before… "Yeeoow!" she screamed followed by some spasms and finally she just sat there and said "please don't do that again." "It sobered ya up and made it so you don't have a hangover, so it was for the best." Danny said smirking. "Point taken. By the way get rid of that stupid ice wall between our sides if the bed alright I'm pretty sure we aren't enemies anymore alright." "Alright" said Danny.

They went to bed. Next morning Danny woke up at seven thirty, and felt cold arms around him and two soft things on his back. The moment he figured out what they were his face turned rose red and he realized that he was in trouble.
