[Danny, Sam, and Tucker are in the Ghost Zone, and Danny is wrestling with Klemper]

Danny: *grunting* Get off me, Klemper!
Klemper: But I just want to be your frieeend!
Danny: Will someone please remind me - [scene goes to Sam/Tuck in Specter Speeder listening with Fenton Phones] - why this was a good idea?

Sam: Hey, you're the one who wanted to map out the Ghost Zone.
Tucker: You're also the only one that doesn't have to wear these stupid Fenton Phones. *presses button on PDA and plays Ember McLain's "Remember" song*
[Sam grimaces and grabs ears]
Tucker: Good thing they also work as wireless ear phones, because these things are a fashion don't!

[outside the Speeder]
Danny: They're not supposed to look good. *grunts/being bear-hugged by Klemper* They're supposed filter out spectral noise so we can communicate. *accidently pulls Klemper ontop self while trying to get away* Uff! Like when I say things like "Help get this thing off me"!

[inside]
Sam: They're not stupid, I think they make great techno-goth earings.
Danny: Really? Hey maybe I should give a pair to Paulina..
Sam: *sarcastic* ...Yes Danny, that's what I'm saying, "give a pair to Paulina."
[Tuck rocks out in the background]

[Danny gets away from Klemper for a moment but Klemper grabs him and uses freeze breath on him. Danny blasts out of the ice, Klemper chases, Danny flies toward a fridge door, and opens it causing Klemper to accidently fly in there. Danny closes door.]

[Klemper lands in deep snow in an arctic landscape and spots a penguin.]
Klemper: Will you be my frieeend?
[Penguin squawks and walks away]

[Danny blows handle off door and back to the Speeder]

Tucker: *singing badly and making various hand movements* Ember! So warm and tender!
[Danny flies in and transforms]
Tucker: You will remember my name!
[Danny rubs hands, chilled]
Danny: Can a ghost get frostbite?
Sam: Oh here, my hands are warm. *holds Danny's hands*
[both blush and grin]
Tucker: Ember! Go Ember! Go Ember! Remember!
[Danny and Sam look scared.]
Danny: Uh, heh heh, *takes hands away* I-I think I'm gonna need my hands for this. *covers ears*
Tucker: Ember!
[Speeder drives back through portal]
[Two fancy ghosts appear]
Fancy Ghost: What on earth was that ghastly wail?

[Opening sequence]
Fanning the Flames
A Symphony of DOOM!

[Casper High School, Danny, Sam, and Tucker are walking through the halls. Tucker's PDA is playing "Remember," and he is dressed in Ember gear]
Danny: I don't get it. This Ember McLain comes out of no where and suddenly she's the biggest thing since mp3s. I-It's so--
Sam: Infuriating how mindless pre-packaged corporate bubblegum is preventing true musical artists from being heard?
Danny: I was gonna say weird but, uh, okay.
Tucker: Ember's not just about music, she's an expression of my unique individuality.
[The three enter a hallway decked with Ember banners/posters and filled with teens covered in Ember gear as well]
Sam: Oh yeah, you're one of a kind. Every single one of you.
[Paulina approaches]
Paulina: *sees Sam's Fenton Phones* Nice earings. Sale at the eighty-nine cent store?
Sam: For your information, Paulina, they're a gift. Danny gave them to me.
[Danny grins sheepishly]
Paulina: Really? He gave you earings? *scoffs* I always knew you'd two losers would end up together. *walks away*
Sam: We're not losers!
Danny: We're not together.
Tucker: Ember! Go Ember! Ember! *starts dancing* Remember! Ember! Go Ember!
Danny/Sam: WILL YOU KEEP IT DOWN?
Dash: Heeey, check it out. The love-birds are gangin' up on Foley.
Danny/Sam: WE'RE NOT LOVE-BIRDS. *look at each other* *resume glaring*

[In class]
Lancer: As you know, the Northwestern Nine Standardized Testing starts in two days, and because my bonus is proportional to your grades, we've installed the Cramtastic Mark Five *presents large machine*, the latest in state-of-the-art subliminal study aide technology.
[All desks have computers with three screens on them and all students are wearing learning helmets]
Lancer: Let the learning begin! *presses button*
[Screens show Ember McLain singing "Remember." All students cheer except for Danny and Sam who take off their helmets]
Lancer: *switches machine off, pulls out Ember CD from the drive, and brandishes it*
[Loud rock music is suddenly heard]
Lancer: FOLEY! Turn off that blasted PDA! *throws CD at Tucker*
Tucker: It's not me; it's coming from outside!
[Students race to the windows.]

[Outside]
[Flatbed truck with Ember banner and loudspeakers pulls up in front of school]
[There's an explosion and Ember emerges from the purple smoke, her band enters the same way, and they play the beginning to "Remember"]
[Students charge outside]
Ember: Hellooo~ Casper High! Tell me who you love!
[Students chant "Ember! Ember!" and Ember's hair grows larger]
Ember: That's it, baby, say my name! Are you ready for a little youth revolution?!
[Students crowd closer, Danny and Sam are on the top step of the school entrance, and Tucker attempts to jump on top of the crowd but misses.]
Tucker: *now being carried on top of the crowd* We love you Ember!
Ember: Well that's because I fill a void in your empty lives!
Tucker: You're right, Ember!
[Danny's Ghost Sense goes off]
Danny: Uh-oh..
Lancer: *stands on a fire hydrant with a megaphone* Attention freakishly-dressed teen idol! I order you to cease and desist!
Ember: Desist this, grandpa! *turns knob on guitar, then plays a note that hypnotizes the students*
[The students turn on Lancer]
Lancer: Pride and Prejudice!
Danny: Ember's... the ghost?! Oh my gosh! *goes ghost* I gotta save Lancer! ...Wow, this is bittersweet.
[Danny flies up and spots Lancer, grabs him and makes him intangible as the crowd charges, then flies off.]
Danny: Now to knock the pop princess off the-- *stops at sees that Ember's truck is gone* charts?!
[Students walk around in a daze, Sam walks up to Tucker, worried]
Tucker: ..Hey! No encore? What's that all about?

[The next day]
Lancer: *flipping through random magazines while walking down a hall* Ember... Ember... Ember... If I see one hint of that woman in school today I'll-- *looks up and sees all the Ember gear in the hall* Chicken Soup for the Soul!
[Danny and Sam approach Tucker, who is sporting a ridiculus-looking Ember wig*
Danny: Tucker, you're startin' to scare me... and I fight ghosts.
Tucker: It's an Ember thing, you wouldn't understand it.
Sam: Uh, you do realize she's an evil mind-controlling spirit from another dimension?
Tucker: Yeah, but you said the same thing about Paulina.
Danny: Ya know, he has a point.
Paulina: Hey everyone! Ember's giving away free concert tickets at Bucky's Music Mega Store! *sees Tucker's wig* Nice hair!
Tucker: Thanks! Nice haaiir!
[Students stampede through the hall towards the door chanting "Ember! Ember!"]
Lancer: *stands in front of door* You people aren't going anywhere except detetion! *bowled over*
[Sam and Danny are attempting to hold Tucker back]
Tucker: *groaning* Must.. have.. Ember.. ticks!
Sam: We're going to have to de-program him.
[Danny and Same suddenly realize Sam is hugging Danny, and they both let go and whistle nonchalantly]

[In class]
Sam: *finishes tying Tucker to a desk*
[The Cramtastic program begins]
Sam: This is where the healing starts.

[Later, in the hall]
Danny: I still don't get why we're not affected by Ember's music. *reaches into locker using powers*
Sam: Maybe because your ghost powers and my--
Danny: Individuality or intelligence? *pulls out Fenton Thermos*
Sam: I was gonna say utter disdain for anything popular but okay. *blushes* You really think I'm smart?
Lancer: Not so fast. You two love-birds may be the only students left in the entire school--
Danny/Sam: WE'RE NOT LOVE-BIRDS!
Lancer: --but that's not going to stop me from giving you and education. *grabs Danny and Sam by their arms and drags them along the hall*
[Danny and Sam grin at each other and hold hands so Danny can make them intangible. They pull out of Lancer's grip and fly off.]
Lancer: *arrives in the classroom, and realizes his hands are empty.* Lord of the Flies, they're slipping right through my hands!

[Approaching Bucky's]
[Sam looks around as Danny flies her to the store, then notices the sun shining off of Danny]
Danny: *notices her staring* Are you okay, Sam?
Sam: Huh..? Oh! It's just really nice up here, that's all! *blushes and looks away* Flying's nice, heh heh.
[Danny blushes as well, but runs into the Ember cutout since he was looking at Sam. They both fall and hit the roof.]
Sam: Falling stinks.

[Inside Bucky's]
["Remember" is playing and Ember appears in a cloud of purple smoke again, the crowd cheers.]
[Ember pulls out tickets from behind her back and throws them into the crowd.]
Ember: Tell-me-who-you-love!
[Crowd chants "Ember! Ember!" and Ember's hair and power increase]
[Danny and Sam emerge through a wall]
Danny: Something tells me they're not gonna love seeing their idol sucked inside the Fenton Thermos.
Sam: I think I can distract them.

[Crowd stops cheering and gasps as they see Sam marking on an Ember cutout with classic mustache, beard, glasses]
Sam: Hey everybody, look, it's Ember McLame!
Ember: *power/hair decreases* Oh great, a critic. Maybe you'll like my new song better! *turns knob on guitar*
Danny: *fires an ecto blast at Ember and knocks her away* Hey! Do ya take requests? How 'bout "Beat it!"?
Ember: *hovers* How 'bout I just lay down a few power chords instead, dipstick?
[Ember plays a note and knocks Danny away as he's pulling out the Thermos.]
[The Thermos hooks on the ear of the cutout Sam is hanging on.]
Ember: *giggles, plays a note, and disappears*
[Crowd cheers and Danny goes through the roof]
Danny: *sarcastic* Dipstick! Ho ho, funny. *charges forward and grapples with Ember* Who writes your insults, the same hack who writes your songs?
[Crowd cheers outside and Ember's power/hair increases]
Danny: *strains to keep from being overpowered* Chanting... makes her stronger!
Ember: Y'got that right, baby pop. And the more kids chanting, the stronger I get! *throws Danny into the cutout on the roof, causing it to fall over* 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! *plays note and blows Danny away*
Sam: *bursts through rooftop door* Get away from him!
[Danny transforms and Sam steps between him and Ember.]
Ember: Awww, 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. *turns knob on guitar* I have more than just music for you, now that they're chanting my name, my music can affect you! *plays note* How about a love song?
[Sam is blown away and lands on the unstable Ember cutout hanging over the roof while Danny is hypnotized.]
[Danny looks lovingly at Sam]
Sam: Huh?
Ember: Well, I think I'll leave the new couple alone. Ciao, babies. *giggles and goes back into the building*
Sam: New couple? The heck is she talking about?
[Danny climbs onto the cutout]
Sam: Uh, Danny, now would be a real good time to go ghost and fly me out of here.
[Danny crawls towards Sam which causes the cutout to tilt]
Sam: Danny, wait! What're you doing!?
Danny: Wow, I just never realized. You're really pretty when you're about to fall off a building.
Sam: Danny? Get back! Danny!
[crowd gasps]
Sam: Danny, stop, don't come any closer.
Danny: But, you're over there and I'm over here. I wanna be over there.
Sam: Wait, I know that look. That's that same longing puppy-dog stare you give Paulina.
Danny: Who's Paulina? *walks towards Sam*
Sam: That's a pleasant side-effect.
[Cutout tips more and Sam screams as she falls off, but she is grabbed by a SWAT member in a helicopter.]
[SWAT vans arrive]
Lancer: Attention students! By the authority of the Emergancy Mass Grounding Act, you are all under house-arrest.
[Students are forced into SWAT vans]
Lancer: *standing on of bus* You will now be returned to your homes to await parental punishment. And, as for your precious Ember, she's goin' down!
[Lancer looks up and jumps away with a yell as the Ember cutout falls on the bus, destroying it.]
[Kwan and Dash race over as Danny climbs out of the rubble in a daze.]
Dash/Kwan: Ember! We love you! *hug*

[At Fenton Works]
[Swat members throw Danny and Jazz in the front door.]
Jack: What is the matter with you kids?
Maddie: You need to be preparing for the Northwestern Nine Testing tomorrow!
Danny: How can I study? All I can think about is Sam.
Jazz: What's wrong with you? Why aren't you thinking about Ember?
Jack: Well I'm thinking about putting you both in the Fenton Stockades.

[In a dungeon-like basement]
Maddie: *opens Fenton Stockades* Jack, we can't lock the kids in some medieval containment device.
Jack: *pouting* Oh, all right, we'll just ground them like every other parent.
Jazz: I'm going to Ember McLain's midnight concert tonight, and there's nothing you can do about it. *grabs Danny and drags him*
Maddie: *grabs both of them* You and your brother are not leaving this house, young lady!
Jack: Fenton Stockades~~
[Maddie glares at Jack and locks him in the Stockades]
Jack: I meant them!

[Jazz's room]
[Jazz is pouting when "Remember" begins playing distance. She looks out and sees a van blaring it go by.]
[Jazz uses a gun that launches a rope to follow the truck, and various kids are following suit.]


[Danny's room]
[Danny has collected various items belonging to or being of Sam on his bed and is meditating while chanting "Sam.."]
[Sam knocks on his window.]
Danny: Sam! 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.
Sam: Danny, open up!
[Danny opens window and Sam climbs/falls in.]
Danny: You want me to open up? Okay, um, one time, when I was five, I really wanted a puppy, but my parents--
Sam: Would you knock it off?! We have to stop Ember's concert before she takes over the world. *notices Danny's piles* Okay, even the part of me that's kind of liking the attention is really freaked out by this.
Danny: It doesn't matter, just so long as we have each other. *holds Sam's arm romantically*
Sam: Snap out of it! *pulls away and grabs Danny's arms* You don't really feel that way about me, and I don't feel that way about you.
Danny: So why are you still holding my hands~?
[Sam throws his arms and stomps away.]
Danny: And why are you still wearing those Fenton Phones I gave you?
Sam: Danny, they're not even real earings, they're just some stupid communicators that... filter out ghost noise!
Danny: Does this mean that we're breaking up?
Sam: 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!
Danny: So.. we're not breaking up?
Sam: How can we be breaking up? WE WERE NEVER TOGETHER! *grabs Danny's arm and begins dragging him out of the room* We're gonna have to de-program you like we did Tucker. *stop suddenly* Oh my gosh, Tucker!

[Casper High]
[Sam and Danny approach a jittery Tucker.]
Tucker: Twelve.. hours.. of.. intensive standardize test prep.
Sam: *takes helmet off* Tucker I'm so sorry.
Danny: You're beautiful when you're wracked with guilt.
Sam: *untying Tucker* Not now, Danny.
Tucker: Man, it's about time. Always knew you'd two end up together. *group hugs*
Sam: *pushes Tucker and Danny away* We're not together, Ember put him under some kind of spell.
Tucker: So you don't want to end up together?
Sam: I don't know, maybe, but not like this. Tucker, please, we have to break the spell.
Tucker: *puts helmet on Danny* Let's crank up the story problems and we'll see him in twelve hours.
Sam: We don't have twelve hours. *points to clock* Ember's concert starts in fifteen minutes. She gets her power when people chant her name, and with a worldwide audience, she'll be unstopable!
Tucker: *throws helmet away* Then we better bolt down to that show and crank down the volume. *pushes Sam and Danny out* The volume of the sphere is equal to the square of the base times pi times the height. Wow! That thing really works! And I spent the first nine years of my school life actually reading?!

[Concert]
["Remember" can be heard as Danny and co. phase in from the ground. They sneak into the building while the guard is sleeping.]
Sam: *turns to Tucker* Go kill the power, we'll stand watch.
[Tucker runs over to power center while Danny stares at Sam.]
Sam: Uh, can you watch something besides me?
[Danny pulls out a picture of Sam and stares at it instead.]
Tucker: Okay, cutting off the power. *turns switch on for PA system* Electrical power equals eletrical current times electrical potential. *shakes head* Man, I gotta stop doing that.
[On stage, Tucker's words echo over the PA system, Ember, Dash, and Kwan overhear and run backstage, and Ember points in the direction of the power center.]
Dash/Kwan: We love you Ember!
Ember: I heard you the twelfth time, now bag 'em and gag 'em.
[Dash and Kwan grab Danny and Sam, and a third guard grabs Tucker.]
Tucker: If a train moving at twenty-five miles an hour...

[Off stage, Sam, Danny, and Tucker are being held captive]
Man sitting at terminal: On the air in five.. four..
Ember: Later, dipsticks, I gotta go rock my world. And when I say "my world," I mean my world! *walks back on stage*
Sam: Danny! Stop her, now!
Danny: I won't leave you Sam.
Sam: Forget about me.
Danny: I can't! I won't!


[On stage, the lights go out and Ember appears in the spotlight.]
Ember: Hellooo Amity Park! Tell me who you love!
[Crowd chants "Ember McLain! Ember McLain!" and Ember's power/hair increases.]

["Remember" begins and is broadcasted live throughout the world.]
Scandinavic men: *jig* Ember, Ember, Ember, Ember.
Asian women: Ember. *bow* Ember. *bow*
Indian people: Ember, Ember, Ember!
Australian tribe: *cheer, shake spears*

[Off stage]
Sam: I hate to do this to you, Danny, but if I can't break Ember's spell, I'm gonna have to break your heart. *turns around*
Dash: What're you looking at?
[Sam suddenly kisses Dash.]
Danny: Sam... how could you? How-- hey! Get away from her!
Dash: Ahhh! She tastes like geek!
Sam: Ahhh! He tastes like failure!
[Dash and co. run off screaming.]
Sam: Danny! I'm so sorry I--
Danny: You and Dash... but we were... but.. we weren't, were we?
Sam: No, Ember did that. It's just.. this is so hard, because part of me.. part of me really liked this and..
[Danny looks dejected, and then glances at Ember on stage, who is sticking out her tongue.]
Danny: *growls* Ember... *eyes glow*
Sam: Danny? Are you okay?
Danny: No. I feel like my heart's been ripped out. But I know who I can TAKE IT OUT ON! *goes ghost and flies off*

[On stage, Ember is singing "Remember," with the crowd cheering and empowering her.]
[Danny suddenly knocks her away and she crashes into a jumbo tron.]
Danny: Hey! No-hit wonder! Mind if I jam with the band?
Ember: *leaps onto her guitar and flies back on stage* Get this straight, dipstick! *turns knob on guitar* I don't do duets. *plays note which knocks Danny into the crowd*
[Danny phases through the ground and swipes Ember's microphone as she attempts to resume singing.]
Danny: Sorry, no vocals in this number. Have you considered taking up mime?
[Ember leaps forward and the two begin dueling, Ember using her guitar and Danny using the mic stand.]
[Ember breaks the mic stand and knocks Danny back, then fires an ecto blast at him which entraps him in a tornado of ecto energy.]
Jazz in the crowd: Mindless teenage rebellion and a killer light show? Is this an awesome concert or what?
[Crowd chants "Ember! Ember!" louder]
Ember: Hear that? They're chanting my name all over the world! The revolution will be televised!
Danny: She's too strong. If I could just stop the crowd from chanting... something horrible that will break the spell like Sam kissing Dash. *turns to look at Sam and Tucker* Or worse! Tucker, sing! Take the mic and sing! *throws microphone at Tucker*
Tucker: *catches* Wait, you want me to sing? You said I stink!
Danny: Oh, uh, *fake laugh* I-I was kidding! You rock! You rock out loud!
Tucker: Ya got that right! *runs on stage and sings "Remember" very, very badly*
[Crowd stops cheering.]
Kid: Ember?

[Scandinavic men are covering ears with grimaces]
[Asian women are also covering ears, one throws a sword at the TV.]
[Indian people covering ears as well, screaming in pain.]
[Australian tribe are jumping on TV.]

Ember: What? *runs to the edge of the stage* Wait! *hair goes out* No, stop!
[Danny is released and he runs to her.]
Ember: No! Tell me who you love! C'mon, say it! *falls to knees* Say my name! SAY MY NAAAME! *falls over, twitching*
Danny: The only thing we're saying here is "Good-bye"! *fires Fenton Thermos*
[Ember screams as she's sucked in, and her bands disappears.]
Danny: *turns to Tucker* O-o-okay, y-you can stop now.
[Tucker stands and the crowd cheers, Danny flies backstage and transforms]
Sam: Danny that was awesome! *hugs Danny*
[They let go and blush]
Sam: *half-laughs* I guess Ember's spell hasn't quite worn off.
Tucker: You were never under Ember's spell.
[Sam elbows him]

[A few days later, at Casper High.]
Lancer: These standardized test scores are the worst in school history. No doubt due to the rampant late-night carousing prior to test day. However, one student's perfect score did manage to bring the entire school average up, and that's good news for my bonus.
Ishiyama: Therefore, Tucker Foley is excused from this afternoon's mandatory Cramtastic session.
Tucker: Yes! *throws off helmet* This would be an example of irony, a literary device employing the incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs.
Geek girls: Tucker! We love you!
[Tucker walks off with the girls on his arms.]
Sam: I don't suppose you could release Ember and get us out of this?
Danny: Nope. Besides, she's a little busy right now.

[Inside the Ghost Zone]
Klemper: Ember! Ember!
Ember: Stop saying my name!
[Klemper continues and follows Ember as she walks.]

THE END!
