A/N: In order to understand this story, you must first read "A Starstruck, Phantasmic Romance" by NeoMark. This story is based on it.
Sunday
In Jump City
It was a beautiful evening in Jump City, crime has been low today and the Teen Titans were all off doing their own thing, taking advantage of this rare peace. Cyborg and Beast Boy had both left to go pick up some new video games that just came onto the market, and they left, taking the T-Car with them. Raven was meditating in her room and needed total privacy and Robin, being the work-o-holic that he is, was looking at the news reports for any potential villain activity.
Starfire herself, also has plans as she was on the roof of the Titan's Tower, awaiting for a very special someone.
"He will be here in any of the earth minutes...I should make sure I am the looking good...'Starfire said as she pulled out her compact mirror which she only recently started using.
She made sure that her hair was neat and her clothes were neat as well, sniffed her armpits to make sure that she wasn't smelling bad and was relieved that they were alright and last but not least, she pulled out a pack of breath mints and gobbled them all up, which left her mouth smelling and tasting like mint.
She is glad about that. Once she had passed the self inspection, a flash of light appear and Starfire smiled when she saw the person whom she was waiting for.
Her new boyfriend, Danny Fenton A.K.A. Danny Phantom.
"Darling! You have made it!..."Starfire said happily as she flew to him and gave him a hug, which he returned.
"Hey Starbolts, you look great..."Danny said as he let go of her and the pretty alien girl kissed him on the cheek before releasing him.
"Thank you, you are looking the very great as well...'Starfire said in her broken way that Danny found so adorable.
"Thanks..so, are you ready to go?...'Danny asked as he offered his hand, which Starfire took as she giggled.
"Yes, I am the ready...'Starfire said to her boyfriend.
The two super hero teens soon flew away together to go on their date, while a pair of eyes, hidden behind a domino masked saw this and glared daggers in their direction, precisely at the boy who was being so close to Starfire.
"Jerk..."Robin muttered in a fit of what he will never admit, is total jealousy.
Meanwhile
In the Air
Danny and Starfire flew together as they held hands, making plans for their date today.
"So, what shall we do this evening, my pretty Starfire...watch a movie, grab a bite to eat, have a romantic, moon lit flight..."Danny suggested to his girlfriend.
"I believe that...I would like to choose all of those things...'Starfire said and Danny chuckled.
"Me too..."Danny said and Starfire smiled as her eyes were on him.
He looks so handsome like this, the way the wind flows through his beautiful silver hair, and how he looks like in the moonlight, especially the way his eyes sparkled whenever he laughed.
'Oh Danny~...'Starfire thought as she felt her heart beating fast at his presence but she thankfully had control over her impulses now.
The last thing she wants to do is scare him like she has done in the past, even if she didn't know it at the time.
There was no secret how she feels for him, she has always been attracted to him and has only recently had a chance to move passed that intense attraction to finally get to know the real him, and develop feelings for him beyond just an infatuation. She truly did have feelings for him beyond his good looks, she adores his good heart, his heroic side, his strength, his sense of humor and his understanding and sympathetic nature. It was more meaningful than that "crush' she had on him when they first met and what it made her do to him, even though at the time, she sincerely thought it had been love and that he returned her affections in a shy sort of way.
Starfire sighed, still feeling so embarrassed over how she behaved to him when they first met and how she was so oblivious to how he truly felt about her actions, dismissing his attempts to run and hide from her as shyness and playing hard to get.
Sure, Danny has long since forgiven her and explained that she couldn't have control herself due to his powers having an affect on her that made her emotions extreme in his presence but still...can a person really be so deep in an attraction, that they really can't see how their "partner" is truly feeling?
At the very least, Danny has long forgiven her, they start over and now they were in a real relationship and she loved every moment of it. In fact, just yesterday, she finally french kissed him with his full consent, something that still left her blushing and giddy...though a part of her can't help but wonder at times.
"Would Danny have returned my feelings sooner if I did not act so the love crazy?..." Starfire thought.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but wonder that, if she had had some more self control on the night they have met, Danny would have fallen for her much sooner. Don't get her wrong, she loves that he is now officially her boyfriend and they are together...she just regrets how uncomfortable she made him when she was in her love-induce craze.
As Starfire was deep in having these thoughts, her boyfriend noticed.
'Starfire...are you alright? You have been pretty quiet...'Danny asked and Starfire blinked, snapping out of her thought.
"Oh..Uh..I am fine, darling...'Starfire said but Danny wasn't buying it.
"Come on, what's on your mind? You know that you can tell me...'Danny pressed on.
"I was thinking about the night we met...and how I acted...'Starfire said with a sigh and Danny heard way she said it
'Starfire, you know that's behind us...I forgave you and you forgave me and we are together...'Danny said.
"I know...I just...sometimes wonder, how things would have gone if I hadn't...hand't-
"Jumped me and smothered me with kisses...'Danny joked but then stopped when he saw the expression on her face.
"Starfire, it wasn't that bad and besides, I am sure I might have overreacted to some extent...look, for what's it's worth...if you had acted the way you are acting now, I am pretty sure I would have asked you out way sooner...'Danny said and Starfire smiled at that.
'Really?...'Starfire asked.
"Duh, good looks, super powers, cute giggle, sweet and bubbly personality and a hero as well...I would have been nuts to pass that up..."Danny said.
"Even me being an alien?...'Starfire asked with a giggle.
"I have been dreaming about seeing a real alien since I was four...it would have been just another cool thing about you...'Danny said sweetly.
Starfire responded by giving him a small kiss on the lips, which he returned. Once they pulled away, they looked in each other's eyes.
However, before they could kiss again, they suddenly heard what sounds to be crashing, people screaming and general panic. The two heroes then had a determined look.
"Looks like the movie is going to have to wait, come on Starbolts...'Danny said as he went to the source of the danger.
Sure, this isn't his city but he is still a hero. His girlfriend nodded.
"I am coming, darling...'Starfire said as she followed him.
Down town
Danny and Starfire soon made it to downtown Jump City and saw what looked to be some dark haired punk guy on a high tech flying motorcycle, who was currently trashing down town and tormenting a group of human on motorcycles as well.
"YOU ALL THINK YOUR HOT STUFF! HUH! WELL, JOHNNY RANCID IS THE KING OF THE STREETS!..."The maniac shouted as he used some sort of pistol, which fired an energy blast that hit the human motorcyclists heels and they were about to crash.
Or they would have, had Danny and Starfire not managed grab them and save them before they crashed.
"Are you okay?..."Danny asked in concern the two he managed to save.
"We're fine, thanks...'One said and his friend still looked shaken by the whole experience.
Starfre soon land and let go of the other two riders.
'You four must get to safety, we shall deal with Johnny Rancid...'Starfire said.
"NO NEED TO TELL US TWICE!...'Another guy shouted as they all ran for safety.
Johnny Rancid soon appeared and sent them a nasty glare.
"Starfire, who is this creep?...'Danny asked as he prepared himself for battle.
"He is a criminal that goes by the name Johnny Rancid, he is a villain who uses his technology to wreak havoc on the city...'Starfire said.
"Oh great...A human Johnny 13? And he looks even nastier...'Danny said.
"Well, well, well...the little alien babe...who's the loser? A new member of your little club?..."Johnny Rancid mocked.
"The name is Danny Phantom and I happen to be the guy who's going to kick your butt right now...'Danny said to the bad guy.
"You think you can talk back to Johnny Rancid..."The bad guy shouted.
"Oh please, just so you know, I have a bad guy just like you back in my home dimension who is a bigger threat than you...Coincidentally enough, his name is also Johnny, he also rides a motorcycle and he is also about as big of a bone head as you too...'Danny mocked as his hands glowed green.
"You're gonna regret saying that, loser...'Johnny Rancid said as he pulled out his pistil and shot at him, only for Danny to dodge.
"Let's just get this over with, I got a date to get back to...'Danny said.
'What? With the alien babe?...I don't see it..."Johnny Rancid dismissed and that annoyed Danny.
"Then try and see this..."Danny shouted as he shot an ecto blast at his direction, while Starfire sent several star bolts as well.
Johnny Rancid immediately tried to ride away, shooting at them with his energy pistol, but they dodged these blasts and kept firing some of their own.
The chase continued for almost ten minutes of chasing the bad guy all over town and Danny was getting sick of it.
'This is not how I wanted to start my date off...That's it...'Danny shouted as he sent several ice blasts in his direction, freezing Johnny's wheels, much to his anger.
'MY WHEELS? THAT'S IT!..."Johnny Rancid shouted as he pulled out a new, bigger energy pistol and aimed everything at Danny, who managed to dodge and then took part of his favorite activity in being a super hero.
Mocking the bad guy.
"What's a matter, Tall, Dark and Greasy! Am I too much for you?...'Danny mocked as he gracefully avoided these blasts.
Starfire giggled as Danny made jokes at their enemy's expense, which mde Johnny even angrier.
'DON'T YOU EVER JUST SHUT UP!?..."Johnny shouted.
"Sorry, not sorry...talking down on bad guys is my favorite part of the job...'Danny mocked as he was about to descend on Johnny to knock him out and then hopefully, get back to his date with Starfire.
However, Johnny Rancid, okay, he's not exactly a criminal mastermind, just a power hungry punk with delusions of self gratification. He's not the biggest, most deadly villain in the city...but that didn't mean he couldn't get a lucky shot every once in a while.
As both Danny and Starfire were about to descend on him, the evil motor cyclist send another, bigger blast and it hit...
"Danny?!....'Starfire exclaimed in horror as she watched her love crash to the ground, head first.
And he's still not moving...
Johnny Rancid then began laughing menacingly.
"HA! Serves the loser right for trying to go up against Johnny Rancid!...'The evil motorcyclist said.
Starfire heard this, her eyes glowed green as she then bolted in the direction of the villain.
"Oh, you want some too, huh, babe? Well, Johnny Rancid is more than-
The evil motorcyclist didn't even get a chance to finish his villain taunt as Starfire, her anger having increased her emotions and thus, her fire power, managed to completely obliterated his motorcycle right from under him, leaving Johnny on the ground with no ride.
"My...my bike?! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!...'Johnny Rancid shouted in rage as he immediately pulled out his pistol, only for it to be knocked out of his hand by a green star bolt.
It was then that the wicked biker bad guy then noticed that the alien super heroine was now in front of him, her eyes and hands glowing bright green as well as a menacingly expression on her usually smiling face.
Johnny Rancid may call himself a tough guy but right now, he was sweating nervously and just realized that he would need to change his underpants as the alien girl took more steps towards him.
"Mommy..."
Later
A now beaten up, bloody Johnny Rancid, whom had several broken bones, two black eyes and some of his teeth knocked out was being escorted into a police car to be taken to the prison to await punishment...
As the cops took him away, a worried Starfire was checking over her boyfriend Danny, whom had a nasty bump on his head from his landing and is still unconcious, no thanks to that villain Johnny.
"Danny...Danny...Oh darling...please wake up..."Starfire exclaimed in worry.
"Perhaps, I can be of some assistance...'A new voice was heard.
Starfire got up, and had her defenses up but calmed down when she saw who it was.
"Oh, hello Mr. The Frostbite...'Starfire said, surprised to see him.
She hasn't seen him since she and Danny had been in that forest where they faced off against Blackfire.
"It is good to see you, Girlfriend of The Great One...'Frostbite said, using his personal nickname for her.
"Danny is hurt...'Starfire said.
"I know...that is why I am here...A friend of mine came to me and told me that we would need some help...here...'Frostbite said as he pulled out what looked to be a glowing, light blue powder.
'What it is that?...'Starfire asked in confusion and worry.
"An old remedy of my people,which can heal most physical injuries..."Frostbite said as the powder was now on Danny, who glowed a bit and was now looking as good as new.
"Amazing...I thank you for your help, Mr. The Frostbite...'Starfire said, happy that Danny was healed.
"Uh...you might not want to thank me just yet..."Frostbite said.
"Pardon?...'Starfire asked.
"You see, my dear...I am afraid that The Great One's injury was more than just physical...you see...well...this entire week, he has had to deal with several other blows to the head when faced with his enemies in his world and I am afraid that...this one sort of was the cherry on the top, so to speak...Danny has what humans call, amnesia..."Frostbite said.
"Amnesia? You mean that he does not remember whom he is?...'Starfire exclaimed in horror.
"Not exactly...there are several types of amnesia, my dear...you see...the one he has...well...an ally of mine, whom predicted this, explained to me that it sort of wiped out some of his recent memories..."Frostbite explained.
Starfire heard this and gulped, not liking the sound of this.
"How recent?..."Starfire asked, getting a bad feeling about this.
"About six weeks of his life?...'Frostbite said and Starfire gasped in horror.
'"SIX WEEKS?!...'Starfire screamed.
That's about as long as she has known Danny...which means..
"Does...does...he...
"I am afraid that his memory only goes back to the night you both have met...so he won't really recognize you...'Frostbite said and had a bad moment when he saw the tears begin to form in her eyes.
"Do not worry, Girlfriend of The Great One...the ally whom I had mention informed me that The Great One's condition is only temporary..."Frostbite said to the alien princess.
"It is?...'Starfire asked, wiping away her tear and even sounding hopeful
"Yes, it seems that his memories have been sent to the night where you both met? But my ally, whom wishes to remain anonymous, is working hard to create a remedy that will restore his memory fully..."The ghostly yeti said and Starfire let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, Thank X'Hal..."Starfire said, having feared the worst.
She thought that after all of her progress with her beloved, that she was about to truly lose him and their relationship. Thank goodness that is not the case.
"So, when shall my beloved's memory be restored, Mr. The Frostbite?...'Starfire asked.
"Well...given the nature of his condition and the kind of cure he needs...it will take a few hours...four at the most in order for the cure to be ready...'Frostbite said.
"Four hours? I see...'Starfire said, sighing.
She didn't like this but it could have been worse and she knows it.
"So what must I do until then?...'Starfire asked.
"Until then, keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get into trouble in your city...also, it would be best not to tell him straight up that things are wrong...you know how high-strung he can be..."Frostbite said to the lovely alien princess, whom nodded.
"Anyway...I must be heading back to the my world...I will return when the cure for the great one is ready..."Frostbite said to her.
"I thank you the very much, Mr. The Frostbite...'Starfire said to the ghostly yeti, who soon used the glowing map and left the area...back to his own dimension.
Starfire then saw her beloved Danny finally come to, but he couldn't see her yet, he muttered something under his breath.
"Hey, how did I get out here?...Stupid Johnny 13...I better find him...'Danny muttered before flying away.
Starfire saw him fly away and sighed, deciding to follow him to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble.
Meanwhile
In the Ghost Zone
Frostbite soon arrived to a certain ghostly Clock Tower and there were several people waiting for them. Clockwork, Pandora and even some of the Observants, who had all gathered, watching the entire thing since getting an invitation from Clockwork...
"I have informed The Great One's girlfriend..'Frostbite said.
"Great...now sit down, the show is about to start..."A mischievous Clockwork said as he began to hand snacks to his guests.
"I still cannot believe you are allowing this...you know that you can give the boy his "cure" right now, restoring his memory and yet here you are, holding it back just for some cheap laughs..."The Observant said and Clockwork rolled his eyes.
"If you are truly against it, why did you bother to show up?..."Clockwork asked sarcastically to the self righteous spirit.
"Besides, you saw the girl...she keeps wondering how things could have turned out if she had more self control around Daniel on their first date...I am merely allowing her to have a Do Over without having to alter the timeline..."Clockwork said.
"Besides, Clockwork assured me that they will both be fine...otherwise I would have been against it...'Frostbite said.
"Besides, they make a cute couple..not to mention it will be fun to lord how Daniel is going to behave in this situation around her if he ever needs to be taken down a peg..."Clockwork said with a chuckle.
"Will you all be quiet...it's starting...'Pandora said in a sharp tone to the other ghosts, who all sat together as the time screen started showing Danny and Starfire.
The "show" is about to start.
Back in Jump City
With Starfire
Starfire kept flying after Danny, who was still too far ahead to actually notice her. She saw him about to land...in the same street where they first met.
"Danny..."Starfire whispered as she landed in the street as she saw her beloved land in the same alley where she met him...and began showering him with so much one sided affection.
"This is the Deja Vu...'Starfire whispered as she was about to talk to him...until a thought came to her head.
'Danny does not truly remember me at this point...If I were to tell him that I am his girlfriend...he might not believe me and Mr. The Frostbite said not to have him feel the stress...'Starfire thought as she considered her options, until an idea popped in her head.
One that will not go away.
"Wait...if Danny and I are...at the very beginning...and I am with the self control maybe..."Starfire paused as sneaky grin formed on her face.
She has been wondering how things would have gone if she had better control of herself during their first meeting...maybe this is her chance to find out.
Frostbite did say that Danny will get his memory back in about four hours and that she had to keep an eye on him...maybe she can do that and start over with him once again...besides, they technically still are on a date together.
There is a part of her that wants to see...if he truly would have fallen for her sooner, rather than later if she had just had more control of herself.
She decided to go for it, not seeing any harm in it since his cure will be ready in four hours...
After all, how many times does a person get to have to make a second first impression?
With Danny
In The Alley
Danny was in the alley, summoning some rings and to his relief, he could change back into his human form.
"Thank goodness, looks like dad's device fluked...'Danny said with relief as he changed back into his ghost form and sighed.
He still couldn't believe what has happened tonight. He is in another dimension, chasing after that stupid biker ghost and on top of it all, he also has to be super cautious due to some alien, a Tam-whatever living here and can go crazy around him due to his ghostly energies, not to mention he had to miss out on going to the arcade with Tucker and Sam to deal with Johnny, who had to go and ruin his Friday night.
"I would like something to go right tonight..."Danny grumbled under his breath.
"Hello there, Handsome One~..."He suddenly heard a feminine voice.
"Huh?..."Danny thought as he turned around.
Once he did, his eyes widened when he saw a teenage girl who looked to be around his age, send him flirty looks as her left on was on the building as she leans on it and her right hand was on her hip while she is sending him what looks to be bedroom eyes. Danny was stunned and even his jaw dropped a little as he eyed her from head to toe. She has long dark red hair, green eyes, a slender build and she is wearing a purple, almost futuristic styled outfit that showed off her midriff, not mention there is a certain natural beauty that doesn't require the use of make up of any kind.
This is the first thing he thought after laying eyes on her.
"She's gorgeous!..."Danny thought as a blush formed on his face as he looked at her.
A smile also formed on his face as well.
