Chapter Text
Ember was at Skulker's lair having a big fight.
"YOU NEVER SPEND TIME WITH ME! YOU'RE ALWAYS TRYING TO GET PHANTOM!" Ember yelled.
"I DO SPEND TIME WITH YOU!" Skulker yelled back.
Ember got mad, she used her guitar and got him to fall on his back.
"WE'RE THROUGH! YOU'RE ALMOST AS BAD AS MY HUMAN BOYFRIEND!"
She then flew to her own lair.
"I just wish I could be human again and start over." she whispered crying.
Meanwhile in Amity Park,
"Hey Danny." Tucker said.
Danny looked up and smiled.
"Hey guys."
"What's up?" Valerie asked.
Tucker and Valerie had been going out with each other since the end sophomore year.
"Not much, up late fighting ghosts but I'm used to it by now. After almost two years, I have a lot of things ghosts do. It comes in handy these days to."
They started laughing and then Sam and her own boyfriend, Gregor came.
"What's so funny?" she said.
"Hi Sam. I was up late last night and was just saying how much of a ghost I am these days."
"It is a little creepy in my opinion. But it's not my choice of what I want." said Gregor.
Just like Tucker and Valerie, Sam and Gregor were going out. There were days Danny felt lonely from being single. A few hours later he was in math when his ghost sense went off. He went to his math teacher, Mr. T and told him and then left. When he got outside he saw Ember.
"What's wrong with you?" he said when he saw her face.
"Break up with your boyfriend?"
She hit something with her guitar.
"Yeah, actually I just broke up with him. What about you, where's your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend! She's a friend that's a girl! And besides, both Sam and Tucker have a boyfriend and a girlfriend. I'm single but you don't see me whining do you?"
He then hit her with an ecto ray. Eventually Danny got Ember into the ghost zone. He was starting to get powers he was hoping he wouldn't get and starting to get to strong to practice in the lab. So Clockwork was training him now. After that he headed back to class.
When Ember was back in the ghost zone she was pretty mad and sick of it.
"Ug, I wish I never became a ghost!"
Then she heard someone from behind her.
"Well, if you're that sick of it I can help."
She turned around and saw Clockwork.
"What do you mean you can do something? What could you possibly do?" she asked curiously.
"I can make it so you never become a ghost but during this time, Daniel won't remember you being Ember McLain, a little fresh start."
She thought about it for a minute.
"Any ghost gonna remember me?"
Clockwork shook his head. "No, you'll forget about being a ghost and everything. You will remember that Daniel is Phantom, and things like that. And your name is going to be Amber McLean again."
She nodded. "Alright, I'm up for a fresh start. My parents coming back?"
He shook his head. "No but you will have a house and such to live in."
She nodded. Clockwork then used his staff and gave her back her old clothes, an orange shortsleeved shirt, blue jeans, grey boots, light brown hair and light blue eyes. When he was done with that she was in a house and her ghost memory was gone. Like before she was a ghost, she still had her guitar but was a normal one and not her old one.
"Ok, that was weird." she said.
She then shrugged and went for a walk. While she was taking a walk she heard something.
"So, you guys up for the Nasty Burger?"
"Sounds good."
"Same here."
"Alright, I have to get my paycheck anyway. My treat today."
"Let's go! I'm up for a big one any day!"
"You eat to much junk, you know that Tucker?"
They started to laugh. Amber looked at who started it and noticed that it was Danny. So she decided to go to Nasty Burger.
When she got there she saw the five of them sitting down talking. She walked over to make an order and when she got her food she walked around and looked for somewhere to sit.
'Hmm, maybe I should go ask if I can sit with them?' she thought. So she walked over to them and took a deep breath.
"Umm, hi. Do you mind if I sit with you? There aren't any other seats."
Danny looked at her for a second.
'She looks beautiful. And nice, maybe she would wanna hang out with us.' he thought.
"Sure, it ok with you guys?" he said.
The other four nodded.
"Thanks. I'm Amber, Amber McLean." she said when she sat down next to Danny.
"I'm Sam."
"I'm Gregor."
"I'm Tucker."
"I'm Valerie, you can call me Val to."
"I'm Danny. You probably already know that just like the rest of the town though."
He had identified himself a few months ago. She nodded.
"Yeah, I know. Sam and Tucker help you right?"
They nodded.
"Yeah, we're Team Phantom."
Sam looked at Gregor, Tucker and Valerie smiling a little. They smiled and nodded back.
"So what grade are you in, I've never seen you in school before." said Tucker.
"I'm actually by myself, my parents had been fighting a lot and ignoring me. So I left and came to my grandma's old house. She used to live here and died last year. So I took that. She was rich and left her money to me in her will. As for school, I'm a junior."
They looked at her for a minute.
"We're sorry, my parents fight a lot during the holidays. My parents are ghost hunters and scientists and my dad believes in Santa but my mom says it's scientifically impossible. I get really crabby during the time. But ghosts celebrate it and have something called the Christmas truce. They have a party and I found out two years ago. Since I'm half ghost I'm included so I decided to have that my own celebration. They also celebrate something called a deathday, the day you become a ghost. I'm included in that to. The Lunch Lady makes a cake and the genie, Desiree grants a wish. I got a lair from my guardian Clockwork last year."
After they ate they split up and went home.
