Hey there everyone, sorry for not updating sooner but like a great ninja with gravity defying silver-gray hair once said – I got lost on the streets of life –

No seriously I had a way to much work and a small FanFiction overload since the last update... I got so many ideas for new storys that I too was busy writing them all down.

But hey now I can present you a new chapter and I have to thank you all for your great reviews.

Please Review and please don't hold back. Tell me if something bothered you, I can handle the truth.

The next morning came far to soon for the teenage ghost boy. He began to groan as his natural clock told him it was time to wake up. Slowly but steady he stirred out of the darkness of sleep into awareness and he stared at a very familiar ceiling. It was a dark red ceiling with a giant mirror over the bed, so namely directly over him and the flaming beauty that slept on his chest. As he looked at her reflection in the mirror he notcied the tattoo was finally filled with a shining blue. The memories of their earlier activities came to him. A small blush worked itself on his cheeks along with a big smile.

'Oh I love my life.', he thought happy.

Careful not to wake up his burning angel he shifted under her till he was free to stand up. To his suprise she grabbed his wrist as he was about to stand up. A soft groan escaped her lips and she opened one eye to look at him.

„Don't go...", she trailed off, still tired.

„I have to babe. I've got school and if I stay here longer my parents may get suspicious and believe the crap that Sam has surely told them.", he explained with a smile and bowed down to her to give her a short passionate kiss which she returned.

„But I will be so lonely.", she pouted a bit with puffed cheeks.

Danny smiled at her behavior and got a good idea.

„Hey how about you come over to my house after school so we can tell my parents about us?", he offered with his never ending smile that she loved so much.

„That sounds like a plan. But are you sure that they will accept me?", she asked now a bit more awake.

„Yes I think so. They accepted me being a half ghost and I believe that they will also accept us.", he smiled and stroked her hair.

„You should go. I bet your sister will be eager to interrogate you about what happened while you were here.", she smiled as he paled a bit.

„Oh buddah... I totally forgot about that... now that is going to be fun.", he whined with a sarcastic tone.

Ember giggled at her lovers little misfortune becuase she knew that Jazz was a little overprotective over her brother. She knew that because since she knew about Danny being her man she had observed his family, especially his sister. Ember was impressed by the intellect the girl was showing so she wanted to know more about her. Days of following and observing her made it clear that Jazz was the brightest mind in the family even more than her parents.

„Don't worry loverboy. I'm sure it wll be fine.", she leaned up to him and pecked his cheek.

„Guess you are right.", Danny stated and she let go of his wrist so he could be on his way.

As he reached the bedroom door he turned and gave her a big smile with a mock salute.

„Well then ma'am I will be on my way. I will see you later today.", he smiled and she tossed a pillow at him.

„Get going you smart-ass.", she smiled and so he did.

Just a few moments later she could hear the engine of a motorcycle start up and roar away from her realm.

After refresing at home and evading his parents about his business in the ghost zone last night he made his way to school on his bike. He wore the same outfit he wore yesterday when he drove off to Ember. Disregarding his own safety he didn't wear a helmet only black sunglasses. Though even if something happened, it wouldn't affect him.

Heck he could be run over by an angry bull while in human form and still stand up as if nothing has happened. While it sounded absurd he had actually tried it. Even with it happening through an accident. Tucker and him decided it would be awesome to test out rodeo. No that was wrong... Tucker thought it would be cool if Danny tried it and he did. He even lasted quite a while on the evil bull till he was thrown off. But before he could stand up the bull had other plans and stamped over him multiple times. To his relieve he got nearly no damage and shrugged it off under never do it again.

Deep in his thoughts about last night he didin't even notice that he already reached the school. Neither did he notice the awed looks he got from the major part of the students or the hateful looks from the A-Listers for kicking down their pride the other day. He also didn't take notice of his friends wating for him. Sam looked at him still seething about what happened but more calmer. She still believed that he had been under Ember's spell and just broke free of it. While Tucker just waved at him wanting to give him a fist bump. But Danny just walked past them after he parked his bike and activated the auto-defense mode.

Tucker was a bit shocked but shrugged it off thinking that Ember gave his friend something to chew on for a while, though he hoped to hear some kinky details if something happened like his wild imagination made him think last night. Sam on the other hand was furious that her best friend and crush just ignored her and stormed after him not hearing the warning Tucker called after her.

She soon caught up to him and grabbed his arm to twirl him to face her. What she got was an indifferent look from her crush. He yanked his arm free from her grip and walked away. The goth was shocked about his behavior but she was even more shocked because she could have sworn that his eyes flashed red for a second and it scared her.

'Are you still under that bitches spell Danny?', she thought hoping to be it not the case.

The day went on less eventful than usual. The only good thing that happened was that when the A-Listers tried to get revenge on Danny by trashing his bike. The result of this was the jocks and a furious Paulina being covered in ecto foam from head to toe and being shocked upon touching the frame of the vehicle. Everyone laughed at their failed attempt of revenge though Lancer tried to scold Danny for it.

„What can I say? They are idiots. The defense system only activates when someone beside me touches the bike. So they had it coming. If they can't suck it up that someone hit their pride then they should run home to mommy and suck their thumbs. So stop bitching around about their stupidity and don't even try to blame it on me so you can look better in front of them Mr. Lancer. I'm through with you always blaming me for every shit that happens to your precious A-Listers.", Danny ranted a bit pissed.

Just then Mr. Lancer wanted to put the boy in his place but Danny just continued.

„And if by the gods you get your head out of their asses for once you may see how crappy they really are without threatening other students to do their work then maybe. Just MAYBE! We can reach an agreement. Otherwise you are not worth the oxigen needed to talk to you", Danny finished and everyone stared at him with hanging jaws.

Lancer was hurt that his student thought about him like this but he couldn't disagree with him. Because everything he said was true. After that Lancer continued his lesson with damped down mood, pondering on what he could do to get on the good side of his best student again.

Yes Danny was his best student. Despite him always acting goofy he was on par with his sister. The usual disappointed act he gave the boy was an agreement they made the day he entered high school. So he didn't want to be on the bad side of this boy. He knew what the boy could do and knew that he didn't want to meet Danny in a dark alley after he had pissed him off.

After that nothing happened till lunch. Instead of eating with his friends like usual Danny walked outside to eat in the shadow of a tree in the yard. After a bit looking around he found just the perfect place to sit and relax and made his way there. With a sigh he let himself fall on the ground and chew on his lunch. Just after he finished his first apple someone cleared his/her throat. Danny looked up and saw his sister standing before him with a slightly unnerved expression on her face.

„Hey Jazz what's up?", he asked with a big smile while patting the ground beside him.

She took his offer and sat beside him still looking at him.

„What happened to you?", she asked.

„What do you mean?", he asked a bit confused.

„I heard what you did in class today.", she sighed and took out a banana from her lunch box.

„Oh that...", he sighed.

„Lancer had it coming. I'm just sick of being the scapegoat for the A-Listers. And the activities my girlfriend and I had last night gave me a huge self-confidence boost.", Danny shrugged and took another apple.

Jazz looked at him confused before a massive blush worked itself onto her cheeks.

„No need to look so flustered sis. We had 14 years of missed love to catch up to after all.", Danny explained and gave his sister a sly smile.

„You didn't...", she trailed off.

„Oh yes we did and it was gooooooood.", he smiled without a care in the world.

„You lucky bastard. You don't know what I would do to get laid tonight.", Jazz spoke her first thoughts without even thinking about it.

When she realized what she had just said she turned into a even deeper shade of red and clasped her hands before her mouth. If Danny had broken an egg over her head he could have sworn that it would have been cooked in seconds. It was hard for him not to laugh but he managed to supress it.

„If you want to get laid so badly...", he whispered and leaned closer to her face making her burn even hotter.

„... why don't you just ask...", he leaned in a bit more.

„... your study friend Henry. He has his hots for you and I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you asked him.", Danny finished with a wide smirk while leaning back against the tree.

At this Jazz nearly fainted because she also had feelings for Henry but was to shy to make the first step. Careful thinking about her next words she looked at her brother.

„So... you are... happy with her?"

„Yes, I'm quite happy. I've never felt better or more attracted to someone in my life.", he explained as a warm shudder ran down his spine.

He knew that Ember was the best thing that could have happened to him and from Jazz's expression he knew that she agreed.

„Ok but remember that you also have a family here in the mortal plain and that we will always support you.", she hugged her little brother.

„Thanks Jazz that means much to me.", he returned the hug.

They lasted like this for a few seconds before they broke the hug and returned to their lunch.

„How about I give you a ride home after school since you didn't come with your car?", Danny offered without turning his gaze from the clouds he was staring at.

„I would like that.", she answered also staring at the beautiful clouds.

They finished their lunch and remaind there in silence till lunch break was over and they returned to their classes.

–

What neither of the siblings knew... well Jazz didn't know but Danny felt them listening in on their conversation. Sam and Tucker had hid in a nearby bush and listened to what the two talked about. Tucker was happy for his buddy to finally have made an girlfriend and such a hot one at that.

Sam on the other hand was broken hearted. She had loved him since the moment their eyes had met all these years ago. But he was always to dense to figure it out and she was to shy to actually admit it to him. And now the man she loved was taken from her by that evil ghost bitch.

'How could she? Danny is mine! He belongs to me!', she seethed.

Already she was forming a plan to free Danny of Ember's spell and beat that bitch into submission. Tucker on the other hand just looked at his goth friend.

'This is not good. She is going crazy again. I better warn Danny so he will be prepapred if she tries anything.', he thought as he saw the insane look in her eyes.

The two followed their friend back into class. While Sam stared at his back, Tucker send an message to Danny to warn him.

–

The day passed without further incident. After school Jazz made her way to Danny's bike where he was already waiting for her deep in thought.

„Whatcha thinking about lil brother?", she greeted him.

„Ember is coming over later since we want mom and dad's blessing for our relationship but you know how hard headed they can become.", Danny sighed and mounted his bike and offered her a helmet that he had taken out from shiva knows.

She took it and put it on with a smile and placed herselfbehind him. The engine roared to life and Danny shoved it backwards out of the parking spot onto the street. Jazz wrapped her arms around his upper body knowing that he would pull it to full throttle again. And just that he did. With screeching tires, a cloud of smoke and the smell of burned rubber they shot off towards their house. Jazz could only smile at her brothers behavior. Though he behaved different from the first 14 years she knew and loved him, she felt like this was her real brother and the former him was just a facade. The new Danny was an awesome man who would try to flip all rules of reality if necessary. They reached their house in minutes and with a sideways drift into the alley beside the house they came to a stop.

„You're driving like the devil Danny.", Jazz commented as they made their way to the front door.

„Hey what can I say? I'm one evil driver but I have to cut that short when I drive with someone. I may survive serious crashs but other don't. So don't expect such a brutal ride again anytime soon.", he shrugged and unlocked the door.

There in the living room sat their parents and looked up to the two teens. Yet before anyone could say something Danny's ghost sense went off. Everyone tensed except for the half ghost. He knew who was coming and he was happy.

„Hey Emy. Couldn't wait to come around, huh?", he called out to seemingly no one.

His parents looked confused while Jazz just smiled. Ember became visible right beside him and hugged her man. The older Fenton's tensed and feared that she was about to attack their son but Danny just put his arm around her, pulling her closer so her could give her a quick kiss. Jack's and Maddie's jaws hit the fllor at that while Jazz just smiled.

„Mom. Dad. I want you to meet my girlfriend. Ember McLain or as you may remember her Amber Gastren from your uni time.", Danny smiled at his parents.

If their jaws could have broken through the floor they would have done so.

„Wait...", Maddie collected herself.

„.. Amber?", she pointed at the ghost diva who just nodded.

„But aren't you with John?", she asked and the shadow of a pained expression past over her face.

„I was but...", she began but Danny began to troke her hair and she trailed off.

„Come on let's take a seat and I will explain everything to you.", he explained and everyone sat down on the couch where Ember immediately snuggled up to him with a content smile.

„So what's going on her son?", Jack asked still wary of the ghost girl.

„Ok let me think how to begin.", Danny paused for a moment collecting the story he was about to tell.

„So let's start at the beginning. The day of Vlad's accident in university Amber and John died.", the old Fentons gasped at that.

„After their death they changed their names into Ember and Cratos. They were happy for a long time till Fright Knight, the ghost of halloween and loyal servant of the ghost king, ended him after he had already lost the duel. That damned coward stabbed him through the chest as Cratos turned his back to him to leave.", Danny paused to let all theis sink in.

„How do you know that Danny-boy?", Jack asked curious while leaning forward.

„I was getting to that.", Danny smiled and his father leaned back.

„The moment Cratos died, his soul moved on and was rebron as a human. But not any human but as Daniel Jack Fenton.", Maddie and Jack gasped at that and stared at him with wide eyes.

„After I lost my soulmate I lost myself in thoughts of revenge and tried everything to get stronger. But it never really worked in the ghost zone so I searched for a way out.", Ember continued.

„And that's were my re-creation comes in. My master Clockwork made it so that I would become a half ghost through the accident. With me being in the portal, I became some kind of conductor to stabilize the portal and with that Ember had found her way out of the ghost zone.", he paused again as she gave him a peck on the cheek.

„Then after I met Danny for the first time I just knew that he was John. I tried everything to forget that idea but I just couldn't. During the pirate ship incident then I finally couldn't hold it anymore and kissed him, causing him to have flashbacks of his previous life. I for one was sure that it was our true love that made it possible to overcome rebirth but now I think that Clockwork had his fingers in there as well.", Ember explained with a smile.

„After I finally regained all my memories yesterday I made my way to her. I just wanted to be with my girl again but Sam seemed to have other plans.", Danny sighed.

„What do you mean sweetie?", Maddie asked confused.

„You may have noticed that the Specter Speeder is missing.", both of them nodded.

„Sam thought it would be a good idea to chase me down after I just stood her up. She forced Tucker along. When she found us, I was just comforting Ember after revealing that I rememebered everything. Sam began to shot at Ember yelling something about me being under her spell. After that I snapped and sorry to say that dad but I obliterated the Speeder. Sam came out of the demolished wreck and continued to yell while Ember saved Tucker. After that I dared Sam to ever come close to my girl again or she would become a constant member of the ghost zone. Along that threat I created a portal back to the human world and threw her through. Tucker offered me to give you guys a back up story instead of telling you the truth while I celebrated my reunion with Ember, I'm sorry that I had Tucker lie to you but it was better than having Sam set her wild ideas into your heads that I was being manipulated.", Danny explained serious with a clear disdain to what Sam had done.

There was a long pause while his parents handled all these informations till Maddie cleared her throat.

„So I guess you want our blessing... for your relationship I mean.", she asked.

„Yes we would love that, though we wouldn't separate anyway but I just want you guy to like her.", Danny shrugged.

„I think I can live with such a beautiful girl as my daughter-in-law.", Jack bellowed in his usual hyperactive manner.

Danny, Ember and Jazz laughed at that.

„I have to say I'm still a bit sceptical since Amber and I never really got along back then.", she paused and looked at Ember who gave her a sheepish smile.

„But I also would love you as my daughter-in-law.", Maddie finished.

At that the two love birds jumped up and jopined the whole family in a big group hug.

„Thanks guys. You're the best.", Danny smiled.

After that they talked about all kinds of things for hours till Danny and Ember rose from the couch.

„Sorry guys but Ember and I have to go to the ghost zone and start making up with some old friends.", Danny smiled.

„What do you mean?", Jazz looked confused.

„Let's just say some of my current enemys were great friends while I was John. So I have to go and talk to them.", the ghost boy shrugged and transformed.

„So who will you have to convince that you actually are their friends?", Maddie asked.

„Uhmmm... pretty much every ghost i have ever faced till now and a few others.", Danny smiled sheepish.

„Ok sweetie but please be careful and be back for school in the morning.", Maddie smiled at her son.

„Don't worry mom. I have an duplicate already up in my room doing my homework. He will be my replacement till I get back.", he shrugged.

Danny laid and arm around Ember's waist and pulled her closer.

„Be careful Danny.", Jazz also warned but a bit more playful.

„Will do sis. Oh and mom.", said woman turned to him.

„Yeah?"

„You should wake up dad. He somehow has fallen asleep.", Danny chuckled and the two ghosts disappeared in a whirl of flames.

Maddie shot her husband a look and saw that he indeed was asleep. The two women giggled at his antics but let him sleep.

'Be careful.', both of them thought.

So that's it everyone. I hope you liked it and once again sorry for the late update.
