"Ugh! What a day" Ember mumbled flopping onto the sofa and sighing. Ember stared at the ceiling in annoyance, she was trying to take over the world again but the Dipstick stop her…. Again. Ember sat up and turned around the tv she sighed some more seeing Glitter on tv, she could never forget about Glitter. She was one of the many people who made her human life so miserable and drove her to suicide in the first place! Her parents only brought her to the breaking point, she honestly hated every single person from her old life! For the exception of her dear aunt, Vera.
"Fucking bitch!" Ember didn't know why the Dipstick would ever marry such a monster! She hated seeing that spoiled brat cling to him like he was property or a prize; Ember told herself that the reason she felt this way was because the two people she hated most made her want to hit someone.
"I better knock some sense into him!" Ember mumbled getting up from the sofa, "Dipstick! You're such a fucking moron!"
Ember turned the tv off and walked towards the door until she stops herself. Why was she going back to the human world again? For the longest of time….. ever since she first met him, she noticed the dipstick seems eager to fight her or get away from Glitter as much as he could.
"What are you doing, Ember?" Ember sighed and backed away from the door, she wanted to go back and see him... She felt complete whenever she was around him. Ember placed her hand on her chest and squeezed her hand slightly, she felt…. Like her heart wanted to be with him.
Lockwood limo
George sighed while he looked over some papers, he was in preparations on heading over the family business to his son. He was ready to retire and knew Richard was eager to lead the company; George had taught Richard well and knew the company was in good hands. He looked over some pages which showed how much his company grew so drastically, but it was only because of his son–in–law was Danny Phantom.
"My little girl is in good hands" George moved the papers aside and took a glass of whisky, he was pleased his little girl was taken care of. But he couldn't help but feel like something was wrong with their relationship. He was proud of having such a fantastic son-in-law, he was rich, powerful, and he knew how to properly treat a woman! But throughout the years as a businessman and his father teaching him a few tricks, he could notice when someone was mistrusting or unable to handle a certain situation.
He could still remember when he first saw doubt in Danny's eyes it was only for a few seconds, but he still saw it. It was right after Casandra and he pressured Danny to marry their little girl; Danny had doubt and worries in his eyes.
"It's nothing" George mumbled drinking his glass, "It was only one time….. he's never showed any doubt with my daughter ever since"
Glitter and Danny's home
Danny and Glitter returned home and Glitter wasted no time as she lunged at him and started kissing him all over his face before slipping her tongue in. Glitter was very in the mood and started to feel him up. Danny just sat there and let her do what she wanted...since it was pointless to stop her.
"Ugh….. why can't she stop this! I'm so tired of this!" Danny knew he should be happy to have such a sexually active wife, every man on earth wanted a woman like this. But he felt empty annoy her, he felt annoyed at his breaking point with this woman. No! This was ridiculous...Glitter was his wife... He shouldn't be feeling like this!
"Come on baby" Glitter whispered biting his neck slightly trying to make him moan, "I'll ride you like there no tomorrow"
"Danny!" Danny smiled hearing his sister's voice, he quickly pushed Glitter away from him since she brought no real pleasure to him. He never felt a connection with her whenever they had sex, and his body thought the same.
"Hey, Jazz!" Danny shouted leaving the room and phasing through the floor
"UGH!" Glitter whined. Jazz always hated Glitter, she could tell the girl wasn't what she appeared. Glitter was a spoiled, shallow, materialistic bitch who seem to think the world revolved around her. She pretended to be sweet only in front of her brother and the cameras but she wasn't blind like the media or her little brother, and repeatedly tried to warn her brother but Glitter was very manipulative and Danny kept insisting there was nothing wrong with their relationship.
"Hey, there little, bro!" Jazz said hugging him as they stood in front of the oversized home. She smiled at her brother and saw his genuine smile on his face, she wished she could visit more often but was busy most of the time. She was a successful psychologist with many degrees to her name which kept her very busy; Jazz wasn't blind, she knew her brother wasn't happy, she could tell his smile wasn't real and she noticed how uncomfortable he looked when Glitter got to close to him.
"Want to come in?" he asked
"Actually! Let's go out for a bit" Jazz said taking his hand and bringing him away from the home.
"Sure," Danny said smiling at her while they walked around the home's garden.
"Danny, I know you're not happy with her" Jazz said sighing and stopping him, she had years of experience and she could see it as clear as day! That her brother was missing something in his life, and Glitter wasn't the answer.
"What are you…." He mumbled sighing slightly
"Danny! You can't lie to me! Tell me the truth" Jazz said glaring at him as she held his hand tightly, "You're not happy with her"
"I can't just… leave her" he mumbled looking away sadly
"Leave her! She spent 3 billion on a freaking wedding! And a house you never wanted?!" Jazz said trying to put some sense into her brother's head.
"Jazz…." He said sighing
"Tell me one thing, Danny! You've told me you never felt complete with her! So who do you feel complete when you're around them?!" She asked crossing her arms and glaring at him, "Who is it? Who's your other half? Your soulmate?"
"Ember….." he whispered looking at her with a tender smile on his face, "It's Ember… whenever I fight with her…. I felt complete"
"Then go and find her!" she said turning him towards the sky, "And find out if she feels the same way"
"Alright" Danny nodded turning ghost, he waved at his sister and took off towards Ember's realm.
1975 – lunchtime
Danny sat down under a tree and stared at the sky, he sighed as he started to eat his lunch. He saw Glitter again and she invited….. well, more than insisted that he comes and lives with her since he was running out of money for the motels. He accepted because he couldn't find any odd jobs to pay for the motels, he quickly left once Glitter started to overreact and screaming in joy.
"Aria….. hm…. She kind of reminds me of myself" Danny smiled while he thought back at Aria, he didn't know why he was feeling this way for a ninth grader. But Aria reminded him of someone, he had feelings for her but not has a lover or a friend….. he couldn't really describe what he was feeling.
"Stop! I need to focus! How will I get home?" Danny mumbled while he ate his sandwich
"Hey!" Danny looked up and saw Glitter running towards him, he sighed softly and looked back at the sky.
"Hey," Danny said waving at her.
Behind two trees over
"AUGH! I WANT TO PUKE!" Aria moved away from the tree and tried not to gag! She couldn't bare to see her father acting so friendly towards that old witch! Why couldn't he see she was tricking him?! He wasn't meant for this bitch! He was meant to be with her mother!
"Maybe I could convince mom….. to walk up there and talk to him!" Aria smiled and ran back to the school, she had to use the door since she didn't want to overuse her powers and have them acting up. Aria entered the cafeteria and saw her mother at the back of the room, eating alone as she read a book. It broke her heart….. she's kept a close eye on both her parents all day but she noticed her mom didn't seem to have any friends.
"Mom…." Aria simply stood standing while she watched her mother read her book, trying to escape her lonely life for even a few moments. She looked so sad… her mother told her stories about her life before her father came into her life, and she always felt sadden for her.
"Mom…. I understand now" Aria mumbled as she walked towards her table, she finally knew why her mother was so protective of her. Aria smiled and tap her shoulder, "Hey! Is this seat taken?" Aria asked with a smile.
"Uh…. N….no…." Ember asked surprised that someone would want to sit with her.
"Thanks," Aria said down beside her and smiled at her, "My name is Aria Harp! Nice to meet you"
"Aria…..? I've always loved that name because it's so musical!" Ember said smiling at this strange girl, who wanted to sit next to her. "It might sound stupid….. but I always wanted to name my daughter Aria," she said blushing slightly, "It's stupid I know!"
"No, it's not" Aria said shaking her head slightly, "It's a wonderful name"
"Oh! Sorry! I didn't introduce myself….. my name is Amberline McLain! But I prefer Ember" Ember said shaking her hand slightly, "It's my nickname I made up!"
"Why does she have so much confidence with me?" Aria smiled and listened to her as she talked about her dream to become a singer. She remembered her mother explain how she was very shy around people, but why wasn't she shy with her right now? This young version of her mother doesn't know her daughter came from the future, to make sure to falls in love with her father, get married, and ensure her birth.
"Hey! Ember" Aria said nudging her slightly, "Remember that hot guy from the library?"
"Oh…. Hm…." Ember looked away as her face turned red, she smiled slightly thinking back to the handsome young man she saw.
"His name is Danny Patterson," Aria said moving her book slightly, "Super nice and really good looking! Don't you think?"
"He's the new kid….. he's kind of cute but his Glitter's new toy," Ember said shyly looking down at the table.
"I see... She must get shy and afraid whenever Glitter is around or mention" Aria smiled some more and poke her shoulder.
"Yeah?" she asked softly
"His outside right now... Maybe you should go over there and talk to him" Aria said sitting up and offering her hand, "I'll come with you!"
"What! No! No! No!" Ember said backing away and shaking her head while she moved her arms, "I can't…. I wouldn't know what to say….!"
"Dad brought confidence in mom, he helps her believe in herself and to trust herself. So if he can't do it in this alternative timeline….. then I will" Aria laugh slightly and took her hand, she pulled her away from her chair and pulled her outside.
"No! Aria! Wait!" Ember said trying to pull away
"You gotta believe in yourself!" Aria said accidently saying it in the same manner her mother does; Ember eyes widen slightly and stared at Aria.
"It sounded….. like me?" Ember shook her head slightly and knew it was impossible! Last time she checked she didn't have a child, she doesn't even have a boyfriend. Drake dumps her right after the movie, he had no interest in her.
"Okay! See he's alone right now!" Aria said pointing to her father still under the tree, "Just say hey at least"
"I don…. I don't know…. If I can do this?" Ember mumbled nervously moving her hands tougher, "The…. I cant…."
"Here" Aria took her mother's hand once more and walked towards her father, "Hey! Danny!"
Danny looked down from the blue sky and, saw Aria and Ember approach him. He smiled and got up, he really enjoys having both women company.
"Hey-!" Danny stop as his eyes glowed slightly, he suddenly felt happy? He felt like he was complete….. he felt a warm feeling inside of his body.
'Family'
Danny looked around slightly and felt he just heard Clockwork? No, he must be going crazy or something. He smiled and brush that strange whisper away, he walked towards them and waved.
"Hey! Danny, you remember Ember, right?" Aria said pushing her mother closer to him, "We just came to say hey!"
"Hey!" Danny said waving at the two
"Come on" Aria whispered and nudge her mother
"H…. hey…" Ember whispered with a bright face, she smiled slightly and shyly looked away. Aria smiled and pushed her closer, she quickly looked around to make sure a certain… pain in the ass named Glitter wouldn't ruin it.
"Well….. this might be a bit blunt but….." Aria smirks and took a deep breath.
"Danny! Ember finds you cute!" Aria shouted and quickly ran off
"HEY!" Ember shouted turning even redder than before; Ember groan and covered her face from him.
"Hope that worked" Aria slow down and hide behind the tree from before, as she watched her parents fall in love once more.
"You find me cute?" Danny asked blushing slightly, "Thanks….."
"Sorry…." Ember whispered looking away and moving her hands slightly
"No need to apologise, Ember," Danny said moving her hands from her face completely, "You're very beautiful"
Ember stared at him and become even redder if that was even possible, she could feel his grip around her and it was soft and kind. His smile was warm and full of happiness... Was this smile meant for her?
"Oh! Sorry…. That might have been too straightforward" Danny mumbled letting one of her hands go and rubbing the back of his neck, "Sorry….. I'm usually not this straight forward towards girls….. it's just with you... It's different and I can't help myself"
"You're very kind, Danny," Ember said as she approached him, "I've never met someone this kind before"
"You haven't?" he asked
"No…," she said smiling at him with her face going down a shade of red, "Don't have many friends either"
"You have one now," Danny said as he while he held her hand
"YES!" Aria jump up and down and wanted to scream! But she managed to hold herself back since It would ruin the moment, she smiled and quickly left to leave them alone.
Park
Richard exited the family car and took a stroll through the park. He needed some time to relax and he didn't want to risk coming across his spoiled sister. He knew the park was the last place she would step foot since to her it's full of commoners. Richard, however, enjoyed these strolls since it gave him time to think and relax and he didn't mind being among normal people. His on sister, on the other hand, has been acting weird lately, more so than usual. Richard usually tried to keep out of her way and prayed she do the same, for his sanity's sake at least. This morning he overheard his sister mooning over some boy named Danny something. Probably Glitter's latest toy.
"Enjoying yourself, sir?" a man asked who wore a tail coat with his black hair neatly cut, "Care to sit?"
"Good idea, Randall," Richard said sitting down on a bench, smiling at his bodyguard who also served as a fine butler at times. Randall's been his personal servant since he was a child and was the epitome of a butler, he lived to serve for his master's family and his skills were nothing short of excellence. But, unlike most butlers, Randall was actual human being with a personality of his own. Unlike how Glitter viewed their servants, Richard liked Randall, to him he was the only one on their estate he felt he could talk to and he considered him a friend, which was mutual.
"You look worried, Richard," Randall said sitting down beside him, "Is there something wrong?"
"Oh…. You know it already" Richard explained while he watched people pass by, "Typical sister and her latest toy"
"Ah! Say nothing more" Randall said shaking his head slightly and smirking.
"I should probably head back" Richard mumbled getting up from the bench
"I'll bring the car around," Randall said sitting up as well, "Feel free to take a stroll while you wait"
"Will do" Richard smiled and walked around the park. Randall was also the only one who called him with formality when they were alone since Richard insisted, but switched back to sir or master whenever his family or others were within earshot. Randall was also the one Richard confided about his trouble with Glitter but it was just their word and Glitter had their parents on her side and the rest of the staff cowering before her, he was the only one not intimidated by her and only performed his duty. It was one of the reasons Richard came to respect him.
"Maybe I should look into this new toy?" Richard usually hated comforting Glitter about her toys, he sighed when he accidently bump into someone. Richard stop and looked down seeing a young teenage girl on the ground.
"Oh! My gracious! Are you alright? You'll have to forgive me, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" he said and offered his hand to help her.
"Yeah, I'm alright," she said taking his hand and standing up, she dusted the dirt off from her clothes and smiled at him slightly.
"Terribly sorry," Richard said once more backing away slightly, " Are you certain you're alright? I can get you something if you would like?"
"No, no, it's quite alright" she insisted and smiled some more
"Oh! Dear, you do have to forgive me... I haven't introduced myself, my name is Richard Lockwood" he said and offered his hand
"Lockwood?" she looked up and saw how handsome and young he was, she knew for certain this man wasn't Glitter's father….. maybe he was a brother or cousin? Or hopefully, he isn't related to Glitter at all.
"Aria Harp," she said and shook his hand.
