Diva battle
"Did you managed to contact her?"
"No. I thought you did, Sam."
"I didn't, she just flew away while we're arguing about the usual."
"She's not Danny you know..."
"But in a way she is..."
"But she isn't..."
"HEL-LO AMITY PARK!" A loudspeaker suddenly announced, destroying the calm scenery of the perfect full moon night.
"EMBER IS IN THE HOUSE!" Ember Mclain, the ghostly popstar, shouted.
"Oh great..."
"I'm doing a little special today and gonna sing mah song for you all, FOR FREE! You just gonna have to chase the truck if you want it! So come on!" the background music started to roll.
"Ember, you will remember... Ember, so that what this is...oh Ember-!"
"Ember! Remember! Ember!" , boot to the shin, "Ow! What was that boot for Sam?"
"Put your head in the game and lets start snagging this diva before she hypnotizes everyone again." and the bad thing, there's no anti ghost weapon available to them! Unless Dani agreed to vouch for the ghostboy dissapearence.
"But its in the middle of the night!" Tucker protested.
Scowling, Sam angrily pointed to the streets.
Tucker stared at where she did, nothing was there but an empty street.
"So? What's so special abo-wow!"
"You will remember my name!" Not long after Tucker spoke a mob can be seen chasing after a loudspeaker truck with the popstar face on two giant screens by its side singing her trademark song.
"... that was fast! Hey! Wait for me!" and he started chasing after it, leaving Sam alone in the park.
"TUCK-ER!"
- Concert Hall.
Sam could not believe what she was seeing. There was Ember, trying her best to rouse the crowd while her opponent obviously winning.
"I live my life, TODAY! "
A new diva?
"Travel around the world, with me."
Can he also do this kind of thing?
"Seeing the sight that many are missing."
She sang so naturally...
"Travel with me, TODAY!"
Even if she never develops the wail like him.
"The sky isn't your limit. Oh...!"
Danielle could scream quite loud...
"No! This is my concert! My name! Mine!" Ember screamed, trying her best to shot the ghost girl out of her stage. "I shouldn't have used the same trick like I did on the dipstick to the little dipstick." she muttered silently.
Dani just flipped through the stage, catching the mike as she floated back up, whirling towards the stunned ghostly popstar.
"A sneak attack? Shame on you!" Dani snapped her fingers. On cue, with a yell Tucker jumped onto the stage with the thermos pointed to Ember.
"When did...!" a whine, "No-ooooo!"
A successful catch.
"Oh yeah! Now let me sing!" Tucker snatched the mike from Dani, "Ember! You will remember!"
Too bad, the crowds opinion of Tucker singing is just one.
Bad.
So, to save her daddy, I mean, Danny best friend, Dani flew the two away towards an empty rooftop, still giggling.
"Uh... Dani?" Sam started.
"Yes, Sammy?" the ghost girl giggled in between her breath.
Sam hoped that the incident didn't repeat itself, "Did you... get hit by anything from Ember?"
"A pink heart!" she replied, bouncing at her floating spot.
Oh... crud... Sam thought, not the little Danny too!
"And... who...?" Sam couldn't finish her sentence when Dani suddenly attacked Tucker with her... ahem... you know...
Sam blanched, "OH! You have got to be kidding me!" and if Ember spell was stregthening their victim feelings, then that would means...
"You're cute~" the ghostgirl muttered towards the stunned boy in her grasp. Of all girl that would actually do that to him, his best friend clone/sister/daughter is the one that wants him?
He could only smile back nervously before fainting with his mouth foaming.
Sam was so going to torture the boy halfa when he came back from wherever he was.
- FentonWorks.
For some inexplainable reason, Danny shuddered.
"What? Is it a ghost?" his sister asked, staring at him with a bored expression.
He shook his head, "No, my ghost sense have no effect here in the ghost zone."
"Then why did you...?" her hand trailed the air.
"Dunno, just a feeling?"
Jasmine Fenton just stared her brother, finding nothing, she sighed in defeat. "...Fine..."
"So... where did you lock mom and dad?"
"Their bedroom."
The younger of the two scowled, "Ugh... harsh."
"They need to calm down. From the excitement of the ghost zone."
"Won't they like... have an escape hatch through their bedroom?"
- Master Bedroom.
"To the OPS Center!"
"Access Denied. Hatch blocked by Einstein." The computer anounced.
"Einstein? How the fudge did-!" he peered into the hole, a pile of books with the physician face can bee seen stacked nicely in the tube, blocking access to the othet side.
"Approximately 10 feet deep."
"...When did Jazz have so much of Einny?" he turned towards his wife, who shrugged. They're pretty much stuck here in the room. Jazz was brilliant in searching their concealed hidden weapon spot, especially the one on their bodies.
- Danny and Jazz.
"They're wearing skintight hazmat suits, you think anyone would'nt notice those odd bumps?" Jazz ranted.
Danny raised one of his eyebrows.
"You look great in yours though little bro." she added hastily, "So, you called the plane Spooky?" she asked, attempting to divert his attention.
A blush crept into his face, "Uh... yeah... after we installed the ecto-converter, and we don't have any ectoplasm, and..." he rubbed the back of his neck.
"You accidentally touched it and transfered your energy into it?"
Danny nodded.
Jazz noticed that there is something more to that story, "...There's more. Tell me."
"...me...jet..." he mumbled.
"Danny..."
"...I...me...th...jet..."
"Daniel Fenton. Don't mumble with me, I'm your sister."
"I merged with the jet, okay!" Danny blurted out, making Jazz blink in confusion before she suddenly slammed her head onto the desk.
"You... touched the converter, and it totally sucked you into the jet."
Flashback
"So how are we supposed to power up the engine with this thing?" Tucker asked, satisfied with his success at finishing connecting all the important circuits in the jet.
Danny had been avoiding that piece if equipment like a plague ever since Tucker plugged it in. "This is a modifed ecto-converter from one of dad's blueprints. It uses ectoplasm as an energy source." he explained, a few feet away from it.
Sam remembered Jazz ranting something about it. "Oh Yeah, I remember. But... we don't exactly have the right type of ectoplasm..."
Tucker had a briliant idea, ectoplasm? Isn't Danny, "Yeah we do! Danny! Gimme your hand!"
"Huh? What're you gonna... AARRGH!"
A bright flash blinded them when Danny touched the piece of equipment. When they are able to open their eyes, he was missing from their sights.
"DANNY!" the two shouted for their friend.
Suddenly, "... Spooky" a voice echoed from around them.
Tucker quickly booted the system to search for any anomaly that might contributed to the dissapearence of their friend."... Danny? Is that you? Where are you?"
"Hey! no touching! It tickles..."
Startled, Tucker lifted his hands from the keyboard, "I'm only holding the keyboard..."
"..."
"Danny?"
"...I can actually feel you standing inside of me... And Tuck... stop pressing the F4 button... It's like a hammer hitting you on the head."
"Wait. Are you inside the jet!"
"Um...Sam? I think Danny IS the jet." And he hit the button, again. As if it was frustrated, all the controls locked themselves up and soon, none of their input were accepted.
The two could only stare at the interior of the jet as they powered up by themselves.
"... yep, spooky. "
End flashback.
"...and the name stuck?"
"Yep. The name's stuck."
