Resting peacefully on his bed as he hums a familiar tune of a song that has instantly become his favorite over the last month a lone teenager can be found staring up at his bedroom's ceiling with a noticeable smile across his face.
Not an unusual scene for most parents to come across. But this teenager was different. Not just by his name. Not just by his gender. But because he was a ghost. Well at least half a ghost anyways.
A very bizarre sight for anyone that would find out this secret information. Especially his parents. Parents that were known throughout the city as ghost hunters with the sole objective to capture one to experiment on.
But for this teenager when it came to his parents he wasn't worried about them. He wasn't worried about being captured and experimented on. No instead he was worried about school. More worried about his future.
A future that unaware to his knowledge was about to get a whole lot better as unaware to his knowledge a green haired ghost slowly fazes through the lower levels of the house in his direction.
A usual scene that has been taking place recently. But on this given day it wasn't just for a friendly visit. No instead this ghost was coming with a plan in mind. A plan that she hoped would succeed after this given night.
Fazing through the ground as she sees the familiar sight of Danny resting peacefully on his bed with a pair of headphones in his ears staring up at the ceiling with a small grin forming across her face fazing her whole body through the floorboard as she sees Danny still unaware of her presence being as quiet as possible slowly Kitty tiptoes over towards his bed.
With each step that she takes as she hears the familiar tune of her best friend singing coming from his earphones a small smile starts to form across Kitty's face before in an instant as she stops at the foot of his bed reaching out as he gently touches Danny's leg causing him to instantly jump off and slide off the bed with a thud Kitty can't help but let out a small laugh.
Scrambling up to his feet as he takes off his headphones to hear the sound of Kitty laughing from behind snapping his body around as sees her laughing on his bed holding her chest crossing his arms over his chest a mock glare forms across Danny's face.
" Ha,ha,ha. Very funny."
Coming to a stop as she looks over towards Danny with her best puppy dog eye look to see his defenses quickly crumbling into a smile slowly as a bright smile forms across her own face sitting up on the bed Kitty watches Danny slowly move around the bed and over towards his dresser where she can see his backpack lying on the ground.
" So what are you doing here? Not that i'm complaining or nothing like that but it's not you to make early morning visits."
" I can say the same. Aren't you going to be late for school?"
Grabbing his backpack from the ground as he throws his backpack over his shoulder turning back towards Kitty leaning his back against the dresser Danny shrugs his shoulders.
" I've got time. Afterall it's like you said. If i have ghost powers then why not use them selfishly once and awhile."
With her smile only widening slowly nodding her head as she turns her attention down towards the forgotten headphones reaching down gently Kitty takes the earbuds in her hand before gently she starts to twirl around the cords as she looks towards Danny.
" What are you doing tonight?"
" Nothing at the moment. Usually Fridays were my movie night over at Sam's house…."
" You mean mansion? Sorry but there is no way where she lives can ever be considered a house."
" Okay mansion. But regardless that's not an option anymore so i guess i'm free. Why do you ask?"
" Well i was thinking…."
" Oh god what did Johnny do this time?"
Wrapping a cord around her finger as she looks over towards Danny to see him looking at her with a grin across his face rolling her eyes slowly Kitty can't help but shake her head as she tries to suppress the smile that is forming across her face.
" Nothing yet. Keyword yet. But anyways let's get back to you. I was thinking about seeing a movie tonight with Johnny."
" Okay? What does this have to do with me? No offense but i don't want to see you two sucking face all through the movie."
" Well what if i was to say that i could get you a date? And i mean a real date with a amazing girl?"
" I would say who is she and why did you possess her?"
Letting out a huff as she unwraps the cord from her finger and places the headphones back down on the bed Kitty can't help but shake her head.
" You sell yourself way too short. You are an amazing guy and i won't have you talking about yourself like this anymore otherwise i'm going to chew your head off and make sure that you are really late for school. Got it?"
Letting out a sigh as he leans back against his dresser to see Kitty looking at him with a stern look slowly Danny nods his head before he turns his attention towards the ceiling.
" Alright so tell me about this girl? What's she like?"
" Well for starters she is my best friend. She loves and i mean absolutely loves rock and roll just as much as you do.
She's a ghost so you don't have to worry about her being freaked out about not knowing your secret. Let's see what else….oh i can say that she is pretty. Well more like beautiful but you will see for yourself when you meet her if you decide to come."
Staring at Danny's face as she sees a ghost smile forming across his face suddenly as she sees him turning back to look at her to nod his head letting out a squeal racing over Kitty brings Danny into a bone crushing embrace.
" I never doubt you for a single second. Johnny will come over later after school to tell you when we are going to see the movie. Make sure to dress nice. It's always good to make a good first impression."
In an instant without giving him any chance to react unfazing from his arms slowly Kitty fazes through the floorboards leaving a chuckling Danny behind shaking his head.
Shaking his head as he turns to slowly walk over towards his bedroom window suddenly Danny comes to a stop as his eyes widen.
" Wait? Did i just get a date?"
Floating through the air as she silently hums a tune to herself as she nears her destination in the distance Kitty can't help the bright smile that has formed across her face.
The very same smile that has remained on her face ever since she had arrived back in the Ghost Zone with only one more thing to do.
A simple task for any other teenager. The task of getting her best friend to agree to a date. A teenaged girl that she has known only for the past couple of months. But time that quickly showed how much they had in common which blossomed into friendship.
A friendship that has lead her to this point. Lead her to the point for the first time in her afterlife she would get to play the role as matchmaker.
Knocking on the realm door as she hears the familiar voice of her best friend from the other side calling her in without any hesitation emerging inside of the house making sure to close the door behind herself slowly Kitty makes her way through her best friend's realm before as she turns the corner to find her friend sitting indian style on her living room couch with countless papers all around herself as he prized guitar rests firmly in her hands a small smile forms across her face.
" Hey Ember. Whatcha doing?"
Glancing up away from her notes as she looks up to see Kitty smiling at her from the living room's open doorway Ember can't help but return the smile before she looks back down towards her guitar.
" Well you know me. Keeping myself busy trying to come up with a new hit single. What's up?"
" What? Can't i come to visit my best girlfriend?"
Looking up as she sees Kitty staring at her with a smile across her face slowly Ember raises up an eyebrow at her.
" Uh huh? Why are you really here?"
Smacking her hands against her chest as she forces a mock look of hurt across her chest to only see Ember unfazed slowly Kitty closes her eyes as she shakes her head.
" Oh that hurts. To think i come all this way to see you to only find out that i'm not wanted."
Cracking open her eyes as she sees Ember looking straight at her with an amused look in her eyes with a small smile coming across her face Kitty can't help but let out a giggle as she shrugs her shoulders.
" Alright you caught me. But it still didn't hurt to try."
Unable to suppress it any longer as she feels a small smile forming across her face slowly Ember watches Kitty make her way over before as she sees Kitty taking a seat on the couch next to her in an instant Ember gently places her guitar down on her living room table.
" No i guess not. So what's up?"
" Well i was wondering…."
" Oh god! What did Johnny do this time?"
Letting out a huff as she crosses her arms over her chest Kitty sinks into her seat as she stares off forward.
" Why does everyone keep saying that!?"
Glancing over as she sees Ember shrugging her shoulders Kitty can't help but let out a huff.
" Because that's how usually any conversation of you're starts with?"
" Well….okay that may be true but not this time. I came here to ask you what your plans are tonight?"
" Nothing but thinking of some new songs. You know the usual. Why?"
" Well Johnny and I are going out to see a movie tonight and i was wondering if you wanted to come?"
Looking over towards Ember as she sees a disgusted look across her face as she makes gag noises Kitty's eyes widen before a grin forms across her face when she sees Ember coming to a stop.
" And I got you a date."
Slowly sitting up straight as she hears Ember letting out a groan before she gives Ember a chance to respond Kitty raises up her hand.
" Before you say anything you might be interested in whom it may be. First off he's cute. And i mean cute and not a total uggo like Skulker."
" Aren't they all? No offense but anyone would be an upgrade over the Ghost Zone's quote greatest hunter."
" Second he's a ghost. So there is no worrying about him not accepting you as a ghost. In fact he'll embrace you for it."
" The same applies. Ghost not a ghost. It doesn't make any difference to me."
" He loves rock and roll just as much as you do. Actually now that i think about it you and him would be on even playing field. He has just as many rock and roll posters hanging up on his bedroom wall as you do on your living room walls."
Suddenly as she sees an interested look forming across Ember's face slowly a small smile forms across Kitty's face.
" In fact,I believe your song is even his favorite. I even caught him listening to it before coming here. He was quite enjoying himself if i say so myself."
" Go on."
As she sees what she deemed to be a ghost smile forming across Ember's face Kitty can't help but suppress her giggles as she feels her smile widening.
" He plays the guitar. He's not nearly as good as you are but he is pretty good. I think with the right motivation then he could become just as good as you."
" Getting warmer."
" Plus he's single and let's just say untouched by any other woman."
Without giving her a chance to react in a sudden motion rising up to her feet as she slowly makes her way around the couch and towards the open doorway unaware to Ember's knowledge Kitty stares at her retreating back with a look of shock across her face despite the smile that is slowly starting to creep up.
" Wait where are you going?"
" Where does it look like? I'm going to see him."
Snapping up to her feet as she sees Ember exiting out of the living room Kitty rushes out of the room after her to see her best friend making her way through the realm towards the front door.
" Right now? But i haven't even told you his name."
" No matter. I know of a way to draw him out. If he loves rock and roll as much as you say that he does then i shouldn't have a problem catching his eye."
" Um Em? Forgetting something?"
Stopping at her realm door as she glances over her shoulder to see Kitty nodding her head down slowly Ember looks down before as she sees nothing but a pair of black panties minus her trademark black leather pants she could normally be seen wearing a massive blush comes across Ember's face as she nods her head.
" Right. I knew that."
With a flick of his wrist as he hears the small click of his padlock being unlocked taking the padlock off his locker slowly as he opens up his locker to place his school books inside intending to grab his next set of books for his next class just as he is about to close his locker as he suddenly feels his textbook being smacked out from underneath his arm to smash against the ground with a thud snapping his head up Danny sees the form of Dash making his way by with Paulina and their gang of friends as the former stares at him with an annoyed look across his face.
" Watch where you're going Fentard."
Grabbing his book from the ground as he catches Paulina's eye to see her throwing her long black hair over her shoulders as she follows after Dash making sure to sway her hips that would make any man's knees go weak letting out a sigh reaching out Danny gently grabs a hold of his text book from the ground before just as he closes his locker with a thud to see what used to be his best friends Sam and Tucker staring at him from their lockers with blank look across their faces shaking his head slowly Danny makes his way down the hallway.
Walking silently down the hallway as he walks past numerous of his classmates to see none of them paying any sort of attention to him as though he was a ghost letting out a sigh just as he sees his classroom coming up taking a sharp turn slowly Danny makes his way down a long hallway leading to the entrance of the building before without any hesitation as he flings the entrance doors open gently placing his text book down Danny sits down on one of the entrance steps as he looks down the road towards the city.
A city that he has called home for his entire life. A little small town called Amity Park. A town known for the unusual. The unusual of ghost sightings. Sightings that had been happening more frequently this past year than in years past.
Mostly thanks to his parents. If he was being totally honest with himself then it was all of their fault. Their fault to make a machine that would become a teleporter to a different realm.
A dumb mistake that he was glad they had made. Otherwise if they hadn't then maybe his life wouldn't be as exciting as it was.
Excitement that was about to pick up as suddenly as a puff of blue smoke engulfs the road to only vanish in an instant revealing a concert stage in the middle of the road with a couple of guitarists on the stage just eager to play their guitars Danny's eyes widen before suddenly as he sees another puff of blue smoke light up a small portion of the stage leaving a teenaged girl behind in its wake that instantly catches his eyes Danny's eyes go as wide as saucers.
A girl that was breathe taking. A teenaged girl ruffly his age maybe a little bit older directing traffic on the stage as though it was so natural to her.
A girl with long blue hair tied up in a long pony tail. A small sleeveless black shirt showing off her stomach with a matching set of black leather pants being held up by a loose grey belt.
But what catches his eye wasn't her body. Wasn't what he would describe to be as the sexy outfit she was wearing. No what catches his eye is her smile.
A smile that only makes his heartbeat pick up before as he sees her turning to look in his direction slowly as he looks up to her face and locks eyes with her to see a smile creeping up on her face feeling his heart thrashing against his chest Danny can't help but get lost into her eyes before in an instant as he sees a guitar suddenly appear in her hands glancing back up as he sees the teenaged girl winking at him feeling his cheeks burning slowly Danny tucks his head down.
" Yeah! Oohhh!..."
Suddenly as he hears a familiar tune coming from the stage that he instantly recognized to be if he was being honest his favorite song Danny's eyes go as wide as saucers as he sees a ghost smile across the teenaged pop diva's face unaware that a mob of high schoolers quickly make their way outside.
" It was,it was September.
Wind Blow,the dead leaves fall
To you,I did surrender
Two weeks,you didn't call…."
Glancing around the massive mob of high schoolers that have gathered around the stage as Ember looks through the crowd for the young teenager that she had first spotted to see him nowhere in sight just as she turns her eyes back forward a ghost smile forms across her face when she sees him slowly making his way through the crowd with his eyes glued to her.
" Your life goes on without me
My life, a losing game
But you should, you should not doubt me
You will remember my name
Oh Ember, you will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Oh,Ember,so warm and tender
You will remember my name!
Pushing his way to the front of the crowd as he looks up towards the stage to see Ember staring down at him as she plays her guitar perfectly as though it was simply a gift of her's with a smile across his face Danny can't help but stare directly into her eyes as he sees her staring down at him with a noticeable smile across her face.
" Your heart, your heart has mended
You're wrong, now bear the shame
Like dead trees, in cold December
Nothing but ashes remain
Oh Ember, you will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Oh,Ember,so warm and tender
You will remember my name!
Oh-woo-oh-woo Ember!
You will remember!
Ember, one thing remains!
Ember,so warm and tender!
You will remember my name!
Yeah! You will remember my name!"
Bringing her song to a finish as she hears a massive Ember can't erupting from the crowd causing their chants to echo through the air with her smile only widening as she looks down towards Danny to see a wide smile across his face just as she takes a step forward the sound of the entrance doors of the school being flung open revealing what she figured was one of the teachers coming out to break up everything with a microphone in his hand a intense glare forms across Ember's face as she comes to a stop.
" Attention freakishly dressed teen idol! I order you to cease and desist."
" Desist this grandpa!"
Reaching down as she turns the dial on her guitar in a sudden motion rearing back as she strikes a note on her guitar causing a massive music note to suddenly come flying out of her guitar to strike against the ground that the teacher is standing on sending him crashing through the front doors of the school with a tremendous thud glancing down as she sees Danny looking up at with a look of shock despite the small smile across her face sending him a wink in an instant in a puff of blue smoke she vanishes along with the stage.
Shielding his eyes as he opens his eyes to see the stage completely vanished glancing around as he sees his classmates slowly emerging back inside as teachers are heard ushering them inside in the background with no sight of the mysterious singer or her band anywhere in sight letting out a sigh as he slowly follows after his classmates inside unaware to his knowledge off in the hiding in corner of the school Ember watches Danny with interest.
