they both got burgers and two large fries. they took a booth and dumped the fries onto the middle of the tray. danny had so many questions his head was spinning. haley looked at him a moment then looked away.
"go ahead, ask away. it must be killing you." she said with a slight tease. was she flirting with danny? he wished the thought away and began his questions.
"how did you become a half ghost?" he asked.
"same way you did. your parents arent the only ghost hunters out there danny. i became a ghost the exact same way you did. execpt for the icy blue eyes instead of green." she replied.
"what happened to your parents?" he asked. she froze for a moment then looked a little sad.
"i dont know. after i became a ghost, i couldnt face them. so, i ran away into the ghost zone. i never saw them again. i only know that they are far away." she said.
"what did you do in the ghost zone?" danny questioned.
"i helped ghosts. it was kinda like being a parole officer. i have a friend who can make human bodies. i evaluate ghosts to see if they are worthy to come back to earth. if they are, they get a second chance at life and inhabit the body that was made for them." she said. danny looked at her with surprise.
"not all ghosts are evil danny. you know that. think about you, me, and danielle. shes a good one too." said haley.
"you know danielle? where is she?" he asked.
"yes, and i dont know. havent seen her in a while. but thats how she is, a free spirit." she said. they finished their food and didnt get half way out the doors before the sky turned a dark grey and a figuer apeared.
"hello amity park! embers back for an encore!" yelled ember. she was the same as usual, white makeup and a blue poneytail made of fire. haley and danny both shouted their battle crys and turned ghost. haley flew up to ember first.
"ember!" she yelled. ember froze and turned around slowly. a look of surprise was on her face for no more than a second before a look of pure rage and hate replaced it.
"black flame! thought you left the band. lets see if you can still rock!" said ember. haley flew with amazing speed twords ember and ripped the pink guitar from her hands. haley held it and the guitar burst into black flames and shook as though it remembered haley. the black flame enveloped her, twisting around her arms until her whole body was encased in black fire. it exploded and out of it came a girl who almost looked exactly like ember but with a black poneytail instead of blue. she held the guitar and turned the dial to a sign that looked like shockwaves. she raised her hand and slammed it down on the strings while she sang a strange and dark song.
beware of the fire, of the fire in the night
the fear makes it brighter, and feeds its growing might
the fire will accept if its challenged to a fight
because i hold the fire, and the fire is my light
though the fire is deadly, there is one thats ever worse
its name is legendary, but it truely is a curse
i know of its full power, i have seen it with a key
it is evil and corupted the black flame within me
the soundwaves from the song smashed ember and danny quickly sucked her into the fenton thermos. haley gently floated down and dropped the guitar and as she did she turned back into her normal ghost form. danny ran to her and she was crying. he knelt down beside her and held her as she did. she turned tword him and spoke.
"i promised myself i would never become that awful person ever again." she cried. danny held her closer to him. he didnt know what he did before it was to late to stop it. he reached for her hand and kissed her. he didnt know what had happened, only that he was kissing her, and she was kissing back. when they seperated haley was no longer crying and smiled. they flew off in silence. what they saw was them together forever. but what they didnt see was even more important. a figure stepped out from behind the building and into the streetlight. it was sam. she had seen everything. including the heartfelt kiss. and she didnt plan to have it go unatended to.
