Part One

"I thank you my dear friend," Her voice said sweetly. She picked up her belongings and smiled as the portal stood before her, open. "Now…just get everyone in this pathetic excuse for a ghost zone to love me."

He smiled, and nodded. "As you wish…" there was a long pause, "…Ember."

Her hair exploded as her pony tail returned to average length. "Just enough power to convince them all again.." She cackled. She then looked back, her green eyes narrowed devilishly. "Poor goth girl…she's gonna be so jealous of me by the time I'm through with the ghost boy…" She picked up her guitar and slung it over her back, and closed her eyes as she stepped into the real world once more.

Meanwhile…

"Danny! Come on share the damn popcorn!" Sam whined as she reached over him to grab the bowl that he was teasing her with. Now that he was 16, he was taller than she was, and was able to hold stuff over her head. "Fine…" She growled.

Danny and Tucker laughed, and high fived.

"Guys. Stupid," Sam whispered. She then stole a glance at Danny, and smiled. 'Sometimes he is a jerk…but other times he's the most caring and understanding guy in the world,' She thought.

Danny then sighed contently as he settled down in one of the movie chairs in Sam's basement. But he wasn't content for long. Ghost breath escaped him in a split second, and he leapt up and went ghost.

"Danny?" Sam said slightly fearfully.

He grabbed her arm, and Tucker's too, and phased through the walls, and flew towards Danny's house. Something told him that the portal had been opened again.

Back at the Lab…

"That's it Danny dear…" Ember purred. She was warming up on her guitar, and the few chords had already drawn Danny to her. Her hair floated round her, growing slowly with each passing moment. Her heart raced as she grew more confident in her plan.

Then the three teenagers appeared before her.

She was slightly annoyed, for she only wanted Danny, but having the goth girl would work to her advantage also. She had no interest in the geek at this point. She then thought quickly, before Danny had a chance to attack, and she used her music to make Tucker fall under her spell again. Once again, he was chanting her name and playing her music on his PDA as he had two years before. Ember could feel the power flowing through her body, and she smirked. "Now it's your turn ghost boy…" She whispered, turning the dial on her guitar to the black heart - a new addition to the music abilities of the instrument. Her fingers danced gracefully over the strings, and within moments Danny's heart was rewired, and he was falling in love with Ember. He approached her slowly, in his ghost form, and growled, tempting Ember to come to him. She giggled, and threw her guitar on her back. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the girl attempting to help the geek. Danny was still coming on to her, and she stood there, another plan bubbling to the surface. She wrapped her arms around Danny's neck, and looked deep into his eyes. Her name was all over him. She smiled, and he leaned in, his lips fell upon Ember's. She accepted him, and put her soul into the kiss, giving Danny exactly what passion he sought from the ghost girl.

Sam was punching Tucker in the arm when she caught a glimpse of what was happing just over her shoulder. The portal was still wide open, and two figures stood in front of it. Tears rose as she realized what was happening. Danny was embracing Ember, and they were kissing so passionately… Sam couldn't believe her eyes. He was stolen away from her so swiftly, so easily. "Danny…" She cried, reaching her arm out to him, even though he was about four feet away.

His white hair covered his face, but nevertheless, bright red flames exploded from his eyes when he heard Sam's voice. If possible, he drew Ember even closer, determined to loose himself in his heart's desire.

"No.." Sam was choking on her own tears. Danny was protecting Ember? She wanted to die at that very moment. Sam turned and ran from the house, covering her face as she did so. She was the only one of her friends not under a spell, but she felt that she needed to be. When she reached home, she couldn't shake that horrible image of Danny and Ember from her mind. She could hardly see straight, and her throat was dry. She wouldn't come down for dinner, and she hardly felt like changing clothes for bed. "Damn that girl…Ember…I will be sure that you are destroyed…even if I have to do it myself," She swore as she pulled the black sheets up to her neck. She turned to face the window of her room, and stared up towards the moon. She faded into a dream so quickly it seemed that she was still awake during it.

"Danny…Danny…" She sighed, "Hold me Danny…"

'Who the hell…?' Sam thought.

"I love you so much…"

"My heart is yours Ember…"

'No…' Sam cried. 'Danny please… Don't…' Her eyes were shut, and there was darkness all around her.

"Your body…it's so perfect…" Ember purred.

Danny chuckled.

Sam opened her eyes, and was taken back. She squeezed them shut again, and wanted to die. Danny was in bed with Ember, and from what she saw, they were nude. Sam sighed disgustedly, and curled up in the darkest corner. She then faded into unconsciousness again.

She opened her eyes, and looked around again. She was alone, in a room that was pitch as black, but moonlight washed the walls. 'Where am I now?' She said angrily as she closed her eyes again.

All of a sudden she felt warmth around her. She sighed, and felt protected. She opened her eyes again, and as she had thought, he was there. Danny, in human form stood close to her, their bodies touching, his warm, powerful arms around her waist. She leaned her head on his shoulder, and closed her eyes again.

"I love you Sam," He whispered.

She looked up in disbelief, and was surprised at his expression. Obviously she had a weird look on her face, for he looked down at her peculiarly. She smiled slightly, and remained still beneath his arms. She was too afraid to move, incase he was to fade away.

"Danny…I…" She stumbled over her words.

"Shh…" He looked at her, his crystal blue eyes washed into hers, and two fingers fell upon her lips, "those lips can be used for better things." He smiled, and waited for her response.

Sam felt paralyzed. Her heart was in heaven. Her eyes fell closed slowly, as did Danny's, as they too leaned in and kissed so naturally. Danny then pulled away, and Sam left the kiss feeling confident in her feelings again.

"Please don't leave me… Tell me that you love me more than Ember…" She pleaded.

"I do love you more than her… What would make you think that I even love her?" He questioned curiously.

"I was there when you two were in the Lab… I saw what happened," Sam whispered.

Danny stared at her, and he looked slightly confused. He then whispered, "I must go…"

"No!" Sam cried. She reached for him, but he had already faded away. "No…"

Note: I plan on making only three parts to this one, but all the parts being longer than my normal length for chapters.

Okay, so you already get a taste of what's going on here… Sam's realizing that she has feeling for Danny, but Ember is stealing Danny away. Yeah, this is gonna be major romance, and maybe a little action…I dunno. Yet again, this story is rated PG13 (you have already read some of the reason why it is rated so…), for romance and language. So yes this is going to be a Danny/Ember and Danny/Sam fic.

Another Note: Italics dream, unless there is one word in italics in the middle of a sentence (like in the beginning of this section).
