Secret Flame

(Casper High School)

Danny was watching the clock and ignoring whatever his teacher, Mr. Lancer, was saying. 'Thirty more seconds until I can leave this place,' thought Danny. He was so anxious to leave because he had some special plans for him and Ember's sixth anniversary.

As soon as the bell rang, Danny raced out of the school to his usual spot were he transformed after school. Waiting there was his sister, and Tucker. "Danny we need to talk," said Jazz.'Oh great, just what I need,' Danny thought. "Yeah, why have you been avoiding us, man?" asked Tucker. "I just got things to do," answered Danny, about to make a move to escape. But, he was stopped by Sam coming from behind him. "Danny, there is something I need to tell you," she said with a nervous face and getting uncomfortably close to him.'Why did you try to ask me today after I'm getting double teamed by my sis and best friend,' Danny thought, hoping for a ghost to appear to stop the awkward moment.

As is if someone could read his mind, his ghost sense went off and looked up to see a familiar attack in the shape of a music note. He pushed Sam out of the way while taking the brunt of the attack to the chest, causing him to lose his breath. 'Dam Sam, you sure pissed her off.' "Well if it isn't the two lovebirds, Baby-Dipstick and Goth Chick," said Ember, the last name with venom. Danny transformed and flew like a jet at her. He then went intangible when they got close to a building.

"Nice save babe, but did you have to hit so hard?" asked Danny, while rubbing his chest when they reached the other side. Ember rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go before she tries to make another move on you." "OK, but let's go to my place real fast so I can get something important," said Danny. "Alright, but make it quick!" commanded Ember. "Yes, Ma-am!" saluted Danny. "Just hurry up, you idiot," replied Ember to her boyfriend's antics. 'I need a way to cement to these relationship so she can't steal Danny from me.'

(Back with Sam and co.)

"Ember sounded angry when you were about to ask my brother out," said Jazz, thinking of reasons of Ember's anger. "Yeah, maybe she's jealous, Sam,"joked Tucker. He received an elbow to the ribs from Sam. "Don't joke about things like that, Tucker," Sam said, while storming off.

(Near Fancy Restaurant)

Danny had picked up the gift and changed into his tux. Ember was in her human disguise, which wasn't much different from her ghost form. She had black hair like Danny, lost the make-up,and had on a simple, yet eloquent black dress. They stepped into the restaurant and quickly brought to their tables. Danny ordered a lobster tail, while Ember had the king crab legs. During this time, they talked about little things happening in each others zone. Ember told Danny on how faithful Johnny was being. Danny told her about how Dash almost got kicked from the football team because of some misdemeanor he did. When they were finished, Danny paid for the bill and left a large tip for the waiter.

Once outside, Ember asked, "Where did you get all the cash, Babypop?" "I took it from Vlad when we were visiting awhile ago, I mean he just have cash just laying around all the time," answered Danny. "Wow, I really am turning you into a bad boy."

Ember's influence on Danny was easily see-able. He wore mostly black jeans and shirts of his new collection of rock and metal bands. He was always ditching his friends and family in favor of Ember. He was cold to most people and completely ignored some, mostly Vlad. He was also prone to be more ferocious in combat, sometimes severely beating some fores before returning them to the ghost zone. In his opinion, only Ember's opinion truly mattered to him. He knew he was know head over heels for her.

They then made it to Ember's house. When they got inside, Danny pulled out his gift box. "Ember, for being such a great girlfriend, I want to give you this." He opened the box to reveal a gold flame-shaped amulet with a diamond in the center. Ember put it on and pulled Danny into a nearly-bone-crushing hug. "Thank you Danny, this is the best present someone gave me." She then preceded to make out with Danny. "Danny, I want you to stay here tonight," she said seductively, after they broke apart. Danny was weighing his options. 'On one hand, I can stay here and probably have the best night of my life or deal with my family.' 'Too easy.' "Of course, Ember, anything for you," he replied. She then passionately kissed, which was the start of their night of fun.
