Recap

"Hey, do you take any requests? How about 'Beat It'?" Danny puns.
"How about I lay down a few power chords, dipstick?" She answered as she strummed her guitar.
"Dipstick? Funny" Danny laughs. "Who writes your insults? Is it the same ones that write your songs?" Danny struggles as Ember starts to pin him.
"Chanting... it makes you stronger...?" Danny realizes.
"That's right baby pop, and the more kids chanting, the stronger I get!" The flaming ghost exclaims. "And if you think I’m strong now, just wait until midnight! When my concert goes global. And the whole world’s chanting my name! Then you’ll all be my slaves!" She cackles as she strums her guitar and it hits Danny.
"Get away from him!" I screamed as she got closer to finishing him off.

To be continued...

"Aw, teen love! They say it never lasts but nothing distracts teenagers more than hormones. And I need to keep you busy for the next eight hours…" Ember shrugged as a sadness passed briefly behind her eyes. "I have more than just music for you. Now that they’re chanting my name my music CAN affect you! How about a love song?" She bellows before she swipes her hand down to release a love spell chord on Danny and I.
I flew back and landed right before the edge as Danny turned around with a love sick gaze in his eyes.
"Well, I think I’ll leave the new couple alone. Ciao, babies!" She laughs.
"New couple?" I raise an eyebrow as the cardboard cutout starts to teeter. "Uh, Danny? Now would be a real good time to go ghost and fly me out of here?" I whimper as he crawls on the cardboard as well. "Danny stop!" I shriek trying desperately not to faint at how unsafe I feel.
"Wow, I never realized how pretty you are when you're about to fall off a building." He continues to crawl towards me.
"Danny! Stop moving!" I shriek as the cardboard cutout starts to dip on my side. "Danny! Stop coming closer! Stay there!" I cry out shaking.
"But I'm here and you're all the way over there! I wanna be over there!" He whined.
"Wait, I know that look. That's the look you give to Paulina!" I exclaimed bitterly.
"Who's Paulina?" He sighed.
"Well, that is a wonderful side effect." I smiled before remembering my position as Danny walks forward until the cutout tips and I start to fall. I let out a scream until a hand wraps tightly around my wrist.
"You are all under house arrest!" Mr. Lancer announced through a megaphone as the teens on sight were taken home to stay.

***

I broke out of my house through my window and ran to Danny's house and crawled through his window to see him meditating my name and everything I ever gave him... ish... on his bed. Like The first is a picture of me in a blue T-shirt. There is my favorite red lipstick. There’s a photo of me that is unremarkable save for Tucker peeking into the shot. There is a braided rope bracelet that I gave to him. There is a picture of me in a dark red tank top and a choker. Next is a picture with mine and Danny’s hair in it. Another one is a picture of a wary Danny looking up at me giving him the bunny-ears. Inside a wrapper is a wad of pink gum that a piece of blue paper underneath reads “Sky’s Gum”. There’s also another blue sheet of paper with a circular lock of hair reading " Sky’s Hair”. A scrap on a sheet of notebook paper reads “Danny! Urgent! –Sky”, and the final piece looks like me with my hair curled, and a sparkly blue dress holding a cup of punch that appears to be ripped.
"Danny?" I asked backing up.
"Sky! You snuck out to see me! Oh, this is just like Romeo and Juliet except I’m the one on the balcony, and I can understand everything we’re saying!" He smiles gleefully as he wraps his arms around me.
"Will you knock it off?! We have to stop Ember's concert before she takes over the world!" I exclaimed as he brought me closer.
"That doesn't matter anymore! Just so long that we have each other." He hummed as he rested his chin on my collar bone.
"Snap out of it! You don't like me that way, and... I don't like you that way." I swallowed the lump in my throat as he purposely breathed on my neck to make me shiver.
"So why are you still holding my hands?" He whispers seductively in my ear. As I restrain myself and drop his hands. "Why are you still wearing those Fenton Phones?" He breathed on my ear.
"Stop! They're not even real earrings! They're just stupid communicators that-" I state before my eyes go wide. "Filter out ghost noises!" I exclaimed happily.
"Does that mean were breaking up?" He pouted sadly.
"Don't you get it, Danny? That’s why I haven’t been affected by Ember’s music! I’ve been wearing the Fenton Phones the whole time!" I smiled.
"So we're not breaking up?" He smiled.
"How can we break up!? We weren't even dating!" I growled as I remembered Sam and Tucker.
