Danny and Charlie headed back down with Emily wrapped around Danny. Both of them were worried and wondered why Emily was acting like this. Suddenly, Danny spotted Verosika, her crew, and three other men he hadn't noticed before.

"Hey, there, cutie," Kiki said, smiling.

"Um..." Danny said, blushing.

Charlie sighs as Emily glares at them.

"Looks like you got one," Milky said, smirking.

"How's the other one?" She added.

"BACK OFF!" Emily shouted, growling.

Verosika smirks. Since they saw what happened, she knew why Emily acted like that.

"Veroiska," Tex warned.

"What? I'm just going to give them tickets to my show." She said, handing them to the three.

"Oh, and don't worry. I don't plan on going global." She whispers.

Danny and Charlie looked confused as Emily kept glaring at them.

"Charlie, don't you want to hug this handsome man, too?" She asked, making Danny blush.

"Emily, if you hug him any tighter, he will lose air," Charlie said, more worried about Emily.

Emily loosened her grip but didn't let go. Danny sighs, hoping nothing else would go wrong.

"Attention, students! By authority of the Emergency Mass Grounding Act-"

"Of course!" Danny said, facepalming.

"You are all under house arrest." Mr Lancer said as the SWAT team stood with him.

"Who's the chubby old man?" Milkly asked.

"Our teacher, Mr. Lancer." Charlie sighs.

"He's trying to shut both you and Ember down because of the test he wants us to focus on," Danny added.

Verosika rolled her eyes. She had a contract to perform in this town. Yeah, she wouldn't mind messing with a few students, but she did understand that this was Earth, and the rules here were different. However, she smirks, thinking of a way to get him to make a fool of himself.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lancer?" She said, walking up to him.

"Yes, Miss?" He asked, confused.

"Veroiska Mayday." She said, smirking.

"You're one of the singers that is stealing my students! I order you to cease and desist!" He said.

"Me? Steal students? Oh, I've been a bad girl." She said, faking a hurt.

"Oh, no," Tex said, quickly covering Danny's eyes.

"Tex?" Charlie asked.

"Trust me, Charlie. It's better if Danny doesn't see this." He told her.

Verosika then smirks walking up to the nearest SWAT officer.

"Then take me away, lock me up." She said, holding out her hands.

The officer looked confused.

"Throw away the key. And tell every fan and business I work for why I'm no longer working for them." She said, before walking over to Mr. Lancer.

"Tell them I said I'm sorry for being a baaad girl." She said, in a singing voice.

Suddenly, Mr. Lancer was overtaken by her power, making him blush greatly.

"Well, I can let it slide this time, Ms. Mayday." He said, surprising Charlie.

"Good man." She said, slapping his cheek.

She then walks back to the group, seeing that Tex was covering Danny's eyes. She frowns, hoping he would've seen it.

"Verosika, he's fourteen," Tex told her.

"When as that stopped us?" Kiki said, smiling.

Tex sighs before removing his hands. Danny blinked before remembering Emily was still wrapped around him.

"Em, can you please let go?" He asked her.

"Nope! Not when you're around them!" She said, glaring at the five young women.

"Wow, she's really attached to him." One of the men said.

"Hope her parents understand what happening." Said another.

"You okay, dude?" Another asked.

"Yeah. Just wondering what's going on with her." Danny said.

"Clueless," Charlie said, shaking her head.

"Charlie, don't you like him too?" Emily asked.

"Emily, he's our friend. And I'm already dating someone else, remember?" Charlie brought up.

"What about the time we started to list the things we like about boys? I recall you saying that you like the blue eyes that Dan..." Emily started, only for Charlie to cover her mouth.

"What about my blue eyes?" Danny asked, lost.

"Nothing important. Just the fact that they look as blue as the sea." Charlie said, blushing.

"I agree," Verosika said, getting close to Danny.

"Um," Danny said before the girls surrounded him.

"Very nice blue eyes," Kiki said.

"Anyone else feels like hitting the beach after this?" Apple asked.

"Great idea, babe! I got some new swimsuits I want to try out!" Coco said, hugging her.

"That sounds like a good idea!" Milky said, nodding.

"Care to join us, big boy?" Verosika asked, making Tex roll his eyes.

"BACK OFF!" Emily shouted, getting in Verosika's face.

"Once you free yourself from your new girlfriend?" She added, smirking.

"Emily is not my girlfriend!" Danny blushed, shocking Emily.

"She a friend that happens to be a girl!" Danny said, fighting his blush.

"Very well, here," Verosika said, handing him a piece of paper.

"Call me." She said before she and her crew walked away.

Danny looked surprised, seeing that he just got a popstar's number.

"I'm not dreaming...am I?" Danny asked, seeing Charlie shake her head.

Danny looked at the number. Normally, he would be excited about this, but there was another problem they had to deal with.

"Right! Ember!" He said.

"What?" Emily asked, looking sad.

"We have to stop her!" He said, making Charlie remember.

"Yeah, if she gets her song going at midnight, then we won't be able to stop her!" She said, knowing this wasn't good.

"Let's head home and get ready for this. I get the feeling it's going to be a long night." Danny said before Emily wrapped herself around him.

"Or we can head to your place and have some fun." She purrs.

"EMILY!" Charlie shouted, knowing this wasn't her.

"And figure out how to snap Emily out of this," Danny said, growing more worried.


Hours later,

Danny, Charlie, and Emily all met up. With Emily not acting like herself, Danny and Charlie had a hard time coming up with a plan to stop Ember. The best they could do is try and mess up Ember's concert. Emily once more, wrapped herself around Danny.

"Hey there, Handsome." She said, making him sigh.

"Does Sera know about Emily?" He asked Charlie.

"Don't know. We never did tell her about our powers." Charlie said, pulling out her apple.

"True," Danny said, transforming into his ghost form.

"Em?" They asked, looking at the girl.

"Huh? Oh right!" Emily said, letting herself turn into her angel form.

She twirls around before bowing to Danny.

"What do you think, handsome?" She asked, smiling.

Charlie sighs as she bites into her apple. With that, the three sneaked inside, not knowing they were being followed.

They found the control station and started to look at how to stop Ember's concert. Well, Danny and Charlie were looking. Emily was gazing at Danny.

"Em, I get that you like Danny, but please, can you help us?" Charlie asked, trying to get her to focus.

"Sure!" Emily said, not turning away from Danny.

Charlie sighs. Danny then sighs, knowing a way to get Emily to help.

"Emily, if you figure out how we could get Ember's concert to mess up, I'll treat you to whatever you want." He said, making her smile.

She then walks over and turns down the volume, surprising them.

"The louder the song, the more everyone hears it. Turning it down means fewer people would hear it." She said, smiling.

"Now, about that treat..." She said, getting close to Danny.

"Wow, that was smart thinking, Emily," Charlie said, surprised.

"Wow, that was smart thinking, Emily,"

Danny and Charlie flinched when they heard her voice. Charlie quickly looked and saw that her hand hit the PA system, broadcasting her voice throughout the building.

"Hehehe, whoops?" She laughs nervously.

Suddenly, the doors bang open, showing Dash and Kwan in security jackets, surprising them.

"Really? Those two can't even catch a cold right!" Charlie groans, surprised.

"Charlie not now!" Danny said, dodging Dash.

"Emily! A little help?" He asked, seeing Charlie dodge Kwan.

"So handsome," Emily said, staring at Danny.

Danny sighs before tricking Dash and Kwan into a closet before Charlie burns the handle.

"When did you get fire powers?" He asked.

"I've been working on some new tricks." She said, seeing that Ember's concert was about to start.

"We need to stop the concert," Danny said.

Emily walked up, and wrapped herself around Danny, making him sigh.

"Charlie, you go and do what you can. I'm going to see if I can snap Emily out of this." Danny sighs.

"Don't wait too long." She said, rushing out.

Danny sighs before grabbing Emily's arms.

"Em, this isn't you. Please, go back to being the nice and pretty girl that goes on about God loving everyone." Danny said, making Emily smile.

"You think I'm pretty? That's so sweet of you." Emily said, getting closer.

"Ok, bad choice of words," Danny said to himself.

"Em. I like you. But not like this. I like you the way you were before." Danny said, seeing Emily get closer.

"Also bad choice of words."

Danny blinked as he saw Veroiska standing at the doorway, surprising him.

"Ver...I mean, miss?" Danny said, almost calling her by name.

Veroiska smiles before walking up.

"I know it's you, Daniel. Love the black and white choices. Matches my clothes." She said, shocking him.

"You know? Wait, what clothes?" Danny asked, confused.

Verosika smirked before she turned into her true form. She wore a black choker necklace and a tightly fitted, black and white minidress with contrasting "X" and "O" shapes on the chest, as well as a star design at the abdomen. She also wore long black thigh-highs with three hot pink "X" designs down the sides, and black high-heels which sport a vague heart motif.

She accessorizes with a set of white arm-length gloves with the right having the same "X" patterns as her thigh-highs (albeit thinner), a pale pink fur coat that vaguely matches her hair, and a pair of round gold-framed shades which have pink heart designs on each of their maroon lenses.

"What the?" Danny said, shocked.

"Like it? I've been wanting to show you my true form since we met." She said, walking up to her.

"True form?" Danny asked, confused.

"Yeah, I'm from Hell itself. I'm what's known as a Succubus." She said, moving close.

"Back off!" Emily said, getting in front of Danny.

"And I can tell the difference between love and lust." She added.

"Um..." Danny said, lost.

"He's mine!" Emily said, making the eyes on her chest and halo appear.

"Oh? I thought you angels were about choices? Shouldn't you be giving him a choice to pick the girl he wants?" Verosika asked.

"He's mine! And I only agreed to share him with Charlie!" Emily said, looking ready to attack her.

"Emily! Stop." Danny said, reaching for her.

That's when Danny came up with a plan. He going to hate himself for it, but it might snap Emily out of it.

"Look, Emily. You're a nice girl, but I can't see this working out." He said, shocking her.

"But..." She started.

"And to be honest, I do like Verosika more," Danny said, trying not to feel guilty about this.

Verosika was confused but she saw what he was doing. He was trying to free his friend by breaking her heart.

"Well, that's nice of you to say." She said, wrapping her arms around him.

Danny sighed, seeing that Emily was looking more and more shocked, and heartbroken.

"But...We...I..." She tried to say.

Danny sighs before looking at Veroskia.

"You owe me." She whispers, pulling him into a kiss.

Emily felt something inside her shatter. As if a piece of her just broke apart at the sight of Danny kissing another girl.

"Daniel? Why? How?" Emily said, looking down, grabbing her head.

"But we were...but we weren't?" She said, making Danny break away from Verosika and check on her.

"Emily? Are you okay?" He asked, feeling bad.

Verosika licked her lips, she could tell that was Danny's first kiss. As much as she wanted more, she saw that he was checking on his friend.

"Danny..." Emily said, shaking her head.

"Em? Are you with us?" He asked.

"Yeah..." She said, sounding like her old self.

"Emily, I'm so sorry..." Danny started.

"I know. And I don't blame you or her." Emily said, looking at Veroiska.

"But you know who I am mad at?!" She said, making the eyes reappear.

"EMBER!" She screams before shooting out the door.

"Wow, that's some voice she got," Verosika said.

"I better go help her," Danny said, getting ready to follow.

"Look, I don't get this whole thing with you being a Succubus, but thanks for your help." He said, flying after Emily.

Verosika blinks. Surprise to hear him thank her for her help. She then smiles, finding herself like him more.

"And you owe me." She said, looking ready to mess with her rival.


Meanwhile,

Charlie was doing everything she could to keep Ember from broadcasting her song, but she wasn't having much luck. Even with her new fire powers, all she could do was melt the speakers, but it did little to keep Ember from getting stronger. Suddenly, she heard a loud shout.

"EMBER!"

Charlie sighs, it seems that Danny finally snapped her out of it.

"Note to self, don't tell Danny about the shine Emily made when I went to get her." She reminds herself.

Emily flew toward Ember and landed a powerful punch on her cheek, catching the Ghost Rock star off guard.

"That was making me fall in love with my friend!" She said before punching Ember in the guts.

"That was for making me embarrass myself in front of people!"

Another punch to Ember's face.

"That for making Danny BREAK my heart!"

A knee to the stomach."

"That's for trying to take over the world!"

One final punch to Ember's face again.

"And that is because I can!"

Charlie blinks, never seeing Emily this mad before.

"Danny, what did you do?" She asked as he landed next to her.

"I'd rather not say," Danny said, still feeling back about it.

"I couldn't stop Ember. Her song is known all over." Charlie said.

Danny sighs. They needed to stop Ember, but how?

"Wait," Danny said, getting an idea.

"If music is what got everyone into it. Then maybe music can get us out." He said, confusing Charlie.

"We need a song so catchy, that everyone else will love it more," Danny said, thinking.

"But what song is that?" Charlie asked.

As Danny thought, he noticed that the music had changed, sounding a bit more...80s? Danny and Charlie looked at each other, knowing that song.

"Hey, Charlie."

"Hey, Danny, is everything okay?"

"I don't know. You ever feel like you've been working a little too hard?"

"Yeah, I felt like that."

"Yeah, with books, the saving, and keeping up with things?"

"That's a lot to do."

"I'm a little... I don't know! I kinda feel like... I kind of feel like cutting loose."

"You too?! Oh, Danny. So do I! Sometimes, I'd just love getting out there on the dance floor with my dancing shoes and doing a couple of twirls and cutting loose!"

As the music picked up, Danny and Charlie grabbed a pair of mikes and started to sing.

(Danny)

I've been working so hard

I'm punching my card

Eight hours, for what?

Oh, tell me what I got

I've got this feeling

That time's just holding me down.

"You know that feeling, Charlie?"

"Yeah!"

"Like a big clock on your head?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah me too,"

I'll hit the ceiling

Or else I'll tear up this town!

(Danny and Charlie)

Tonight I gotta cut loose

Footloose

Kick off your Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose!

It started to work, people slowly stopped chatting Ember's name. Charlie smiles before she shocks the crowd with her voice.

(Charlie)

You're playing so cool (Danny: Uh-huh.)

Obeying every rule

Deep way down in your heart

You're burning, yearning for a song

Somebody to tell you (Yeah, tell me what?)

Life been passing you by (That's exactly how I feel! Sing it, Charlie!)

I'm trying to tell you (Uh-huh?)

It will if you don't even try (Try? Try?!)

You can fly if you'd only,

(Danny and Charlie)

Cut loose

Footloose

Kick off your Sunday shoes

Ooh-wee, Marie

Cut a rug with me

Whoa, Milo

Come on, come on, let's go

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose!

Everyone soon started dancing to the song, forgetting all about Ember's. Emily smiles before flying over to join her friends.

(All three of them)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Cut footloose)!

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Cut footloose)!

(Charlie)

We've got to turn me around.

(Danny)

And put your feet on the ground.

(Emily)

Now take a hold of the phone!

(All three)

Oh-oh

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ahhhh-oh!

(Charlie)

I'm turning...

(Everyone)

...loose!

Footloose

Kick off your Sunday shoes

Please, Louise

Pull me off of my knees

Jack, get back

Come on before we crack

Lose your blues

Everybody cut footloose (Veroiska: Footloose)

Footloose (Footloose)

Kick off your Sunday shoes (Kick off your Sunday shoes)

Please, (Please)

Louise (Louise)

Pull me off of my knees (You know you'll pull me off of my knees)

Jack, (Jack)

Get back (Get back)

Come on before we crack (I think I'm gonna crack)

Lose (Lose)

Your blues (Your blues)

(Danny)

Now, everybody cut, everybody cut

(Charlie)

Everybody cut, everybody cut

(Emily)

Everybody cut, everybody cut

(Everyone)

Everybody

Everybody cut footloose!

The song ended and everyone was cheering. Ember was shocked to hear the three use a song against her, even more so when her rival sang along with them.

"No! Tell me who you love! Come on, say it! Say my name. Say my name!" Ember cries, feeling her power gets cut off.

"Look, Ember, your song is nice and we can hear the message behind it..." Charlie started.

"But trying to use it to take over the world is the opposite of what it means," Emily said.

"And even I don't wish to have the world under my thumb," Veroiska said.

"So, what we're saying here is... goodbye!" Danny said, catching her in the Fenton Themors.

They all looked and saw the crowd still cheering and singing Footloose.

"How did you know that was our favorite song?" Danny asked Verosika.

"I didn't. I played the first song that I saw." She said, shrugging.

"Huh, for a succubus, you're not that bad," Danny said.

"Wait, WHAT?!" Charlie shouted.

"Just remember, you owe me one. And I will collect." Verosika said, tracing Danny's face.

"Hehehe." Danny laughs, nerverously.

"Oh, and not bad for your first kiss," Veroiska added, walking away.

Danny blushed as she looked behind her and blew a kiss at him. Danny turned red before Charlie got in his face.

"What do she mean, first kiss?" She asked, glaring.

"Well, I needed to break Emily free so..." Danny started.

"So you KISSED a Succubus?!" Charlie shouted.

"Charlie, we can talk about this after we leave?" Emily said, reminding her they were still on stage.

Charlie sighs, wondering why she was so upset about Danny having his first kiss. Emily picked Charlie up before they flew away, the crowd still cheering and singing.


And that ends Flamming the Flames. So, since Tucker and Sam aren't with Danny, and since Danny wasn't the one affected by Ember's love song, There was no reason to cover the scene of everyone getting taken back home. Another change is Veroiska using her powers to get Mr. Lancer to back off.

Though Emily was still under the spell, they were able to mess up Ember's plans a little bit. And for those that might think Charlie's line "They can't even catch a cold right" might be wrong, (I'm looking at you, Nate) it is supposed to be Charlie's comment about their football skills. Namely, how they couldn't catch anything, even a cold.

Verosika reveals herself to Danny, still having plans on winning him over. It was always my plan to have Danny and Verosika kiss to free Emily. Another huge change was breaking everyone free from Ember's spell. So, I thought a song would beat out Ember's. The song I use is called Footloose, by Kenny Loggins. The version I use is from Bob and Larry Sing the 80s with a few changes, but I don't own ANY of those. Veroiska and her crew will return, but much later. She said she was going to collect and she will collect.

I think I'll bring in the I.M.P in the next chapter. So, everyone's favorite Hellhound will be meeting Danny and the others.
