"Not so fast, you two lovebirds and your third wheel may be the only students left in the entire school-" Lancer started before being cut off by the two shoutings in unison "We're not lovebirds!" "But that's not going to stop me from giving you an education." Lancer continued as he started his way to the classrooms. Grabbing Sam's hand Danny phases them out and goes ghost as he flies to the mall with me soon flying away in repeat in ghost form while Lancer freaked out.

I manage to quickly fly where Ember is holding her concert and I land on the roof, looking up in the sky to see if I could see Danny and Sam, completely forgetting to take out the Fenton Phones that I was still wearing. Having nothing better to do I sit down on the ledge and watch the sunset.

Meanwhile, Danny was flying his way to the store, holding Sam by the waist as she smiled at the view below before shifting her gaze to Danny and a small blush appears when she heard him ask "Hey are you okay Sam?" "Huh? Uh...yeah it's just really nice up here, flying's nice." She tells him and Danny can't help but smile, when two people entered his thoughts: me and (s/n). "(y/n), (s/n), I'm thinking of you two, and yet I'm with Sam. Wait what am I thinking?! We're all just friends...and yet apart of me wants to be something more, but with who?" Danny thought to himself as all the reasons he liked both sides of me emerged.

 First thoughts were of me as just me and how he was thankful I was always there to comfort and support him, and then my smile that he loved and how I always knew just the right thing to say. then thoughts about (s/n) came in about how he adored the fact I'd take a bullet for him, how he loved the look of determination I'd give, especially the smirk, and finally how appreciative he was that I always stood by his side no matter what.

  Thanks to these thoughts Danny's face turned a deep shade of crimson red, but before he could think more he slammed into the giant cardboard cutout of Ember and he and Sam fell and I rushed to their aid and Sam muttered: "Falling stinks." Making sure both of them were ok, I give a quick update as to what's going on.

"The concert has already started but otherwise no new activity." I cut myself off when I looked at Danny, his face was red; walking up close to him I cup his face with my hands and ask him if he was alright. "Danny are you sick? Your face is red." This causes his face to go redder as he starts to babble in a soft tone that he was fine and that we need to focus. Inside Ember was giving away free tickets as she demanded her audience to scream her name while we formed a plan. "Yeah, something tells me their not going to love seeing their idol sucked into the Fenton Thermos."

 I point out as we phase into the building. "Just stick with the plan, I think I can distract them," Sam mutters and we drop her off on another cardboard cutout of Ember. Sam starts to deface the cutout as she starts to scream for the fans to look at what she was doing.

"Hey everybody look! It's Ember McLame!" Sam insulted Ember and Ember muttered, "Oh great a critic, maybe you'll like my new song better." She amps up her guitar but we quickly blast her away before she could strike and Danny asks her "Hey, do you take requests? How bout beat it?!" Quickly flying back she strikes her guitar stating "How about I just lay down a few power chords instead Dipsticks?"

Suddenly a green soundwave hits us and we go flying as the thermos lands near Sam who starts to make a grab for it while we chase Ember to the roof. "Dipsticks? Oh ho, funny; who writes your insults? The same hack who writes your songs?" Danny asks Ember as we start pushing on her and she starts to push back. The chant of Ember's name could be heard and as her hair grew into a bigger flame, she became stronger. "Danny, the chanting, it makes her stronger!" I state as Ember only confirms it "Ya got that right Baby Pop and the more kids chanting the stronger I get." 

She threw us to her cutout and it topples over. Making sure it didn't fall off, we didn't notice Ember sneak up on us till she stated "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 hits us with another power chord and we've been flung in-between the cutout's legs when Sam arrived screaming for Ember to get away.

Sam runs in front of us, sparking an idea in Ember's head. "Aww a teen love triangle, they say it never lasts but nothing distracts teenagers more than hormones and I need to keep you busy for the next eight hours. I've got more than just music for you, now that their chanting my name my music can affect you; how about a love song?!" 

Ember changes the dial to 'love spell' on her guitar and hits us with a blast from it, causing me to fly high into the sky, Danny to change back and be hypnotized and Sam to fly onto the cardboard cutout's head. " Well, I think I'll leave the new love triangle alone, chow babies!" She states as she flies back to her crowd and I fly back to see a scene that utterly broke my heart.
