Hello Fellow Danny Phantom Mates! Now, this is a multi-chaptered Songfic. You don't really see those alot, or maybe I just need to get out more o_o. So, anyways. I hope alot people like it but it IS just plain random. I mean think about it.. a fanfiction about Danny Phantom, Vlad Masters, and the wonders of Fireflies. Anyways, this is both based on real fireflies AND the song Fireflies by Owl City.

I smell a pretty good fanfiction on this plot bunny. It is a Vlad/Danny Father/son relationship, even though Danny doesn't know it... hehe. Don't get what I said in that sentence? This is ALSO a challenge response for VampireFrootloopsRule! Check out her stories, Frooty rocks! Lol~ This is a challenge response to challenge number one and nine which is the songfic and Danny/Vlad fatherson bothering. Just a warning, this may turn out awkward to you since Danny has a bit of a 'relationship' with the fireflies, but I'm trying my best not to make it OOC, alright? Thanks...

Full Summary: Danny's been missing for 2 months now. No one, not even the infamous brilliant Vlad Masters know where he is... imagine his surprise when he sees a 4-year-old boy with big blue glacial eyes named Danny at his door, asking him if he's seen his favorite firefly... Chaptered Song-fic. V/D F/S

Alright, let's get this show on the road! by the way, if some of this is kinda unproper grammar or spelling, its because I'm doing the second half on a phone. That is how bad I wanna do this.

Edit 7/17: I have edited this and given clues somewhere in the details. Happy birthday to me xD I probably didn't edit the next chapter since I got to go soon. Hehe.

You would not believe your eyes, If ten million fireflies, Lit up the world as I fell asleep...

Fireflies. They are just simply amazing creatures, are they not? They are not just insects or beetles with tiny wings, they are lightning bugs, glow worms, any wondrous name you can come up with fits them as long as they relate to light. They are what keeps out night free of darkness, they have lights that are not just yellow, but also green and pale-red like Christmas lights.

If you ever collided with one, you'd know that they are not always alone. With one Firefly, comes another ten million, metaphorically speaking.. there will always be a band, not one single firefly left out. If a Firefly is alone, it would probably not be using it's bioluminescence(what a Firefly uses to produce light). Fireflies use this ability to communicate to each other.

And unlike an ordinary light bulb, Fireflies only give off little heat and more light for sufficient use. They produce light naturally through the chemicals inside their bodies.

Fireflies are truly amazing creatures.

Fireflies...

Prologue
General POV

The glorious sun was now setting upon the other side of the Earth. It truly looked amazing actually, with the sky a glorious mixture of red, purple, pink and blue at the top. The fields were calm, trees occasionally swayed in the warm summer breeze. The temperature was just right, the air a cool mixture of warm and humid yet breezy as it is. Unfortunately, not everything can be calm as now. Deep, near the heart of Amity Park, was a ghost with unmistakably green skin, yet his/her identity was not concealed under that shrouded bright red cloak. The only thing recognizable inside that hood was those deep orange eyes, hungering for something and that soft silky grayish black hair streaming out.

She soared through the sky, her reasons why unknown. When she had been disrupted by a certain white-haired teenager... "Hey! Yeah, you! Can't you and the others EVER leave me alone?" The young hybrid was now floating just feet away from the unidentified ghost. His green eyes zapped and sparked with impatience and determination. Despite his spunky attitude, the specter just stared right at the young flying halfa, holding a pretty looking scientific soup thermos in his hands, aimed at her.

She spoke in a clear voice that sounded a mixture of a young adult woman's and a strained teenager: "You dare try to capture me? Perhaps... you would make an excellent target for my niece... she is, so, oh over lonely..." Exaggerating her speech on the last part, she gestured her hands in a shrugging manner. Danny's eyebrow raised but immediately opened the thermos. Before he could even push the green life-saving button, the ghost flew away without a second thought. "Hey... hey! I have a schedule to follow, ya know!" Danny instantly increased his speed until he was almost at the tail of the female ghost.

For a while, Danny chased her until he landed on the floors of a forest. "Arrgh! Dang it! I lost her... well might as well- Ah!" Danny was interrupted with a blast to the chest, he skidded along the forest floor on his back until the impact and friction stopped and slowed him down. He found his eyes meeting the woman's intensified orange ones. They seemed to melt in his, looking cynical, desperate, and yet so... motherly. It was definitely a weird mixture of signals, but the ghost raised her green small hand. It began to glow a bright orange hue when it started to crawl towards the hybrid.

Danny's eyes widened as the hue surrounded him like a warm blanket. Suddenly, an orange swirl began to encase his entire body, head to toe. It grew larger and larger, covering everything. Danny's chest was suddenly burning, and his head felt like it was all of a sudden disintegrating when it really wasn't. He felt dazed and uncontrolled and began to feel weird. He closed his eyes as he didn't realize that he was actually shrinking. The woman neared the unstable ghost halfa.

Danny was now staring at the woman with giant green eyes and in a four-year-old form. The woman smirked.

Two months later

Vlad Masters was now staring out from one of his twin windows in the office/study, recalling the past two month's events, lost in the memories. They had searched EVERYWHERE for him. Ever since he disappeared, everyone has been on the lookout for him. Meanwhile, his own parents are blaming "Danny Phantom" for kidnapping "Danny" because they both disappeared on the same day. Though by that logic, how could he blame them? If he hadn't known Daniel was half-ghost, he would've blamed the 'ghost kid' too.

Vlad sighed. The boy could possibly be dead, one thing's for sure though... there's a very slim chance of Daniel staying at a five star hotel resort. Alright, that wasn't as humorous as it sounded in his head. Vlad sighed, the noise echoing throughout the empty mansion to exaggerate it's own effects. Vlad's personal AND general staff were on vacation, so here he was... alone... at night in a mansion in the middle of a forest. It couldn't get lonelier than that. Who knows, maybe a miracle could happen.

All he wished was that his 'little badger' would turn up soon. Although they both were still enemies, didn't mean that they weren't allowed to care for each other. Secretly. He did want to be the boy's father, after all, and how could he not care for the teen's life dropping problems? He barely got enough sleep, his grades were slipping; and well, Vlad cared for the boy, but the boy did rather much the opposite. He just wish his little Daniel was safe...

A four year old Danny was scuttling along the soft grass ground of the forest. He had just escaped the clutches of a ghost girl and woman by himself, even if he didn't mean to, he still managed to do it. His baby blue eyes sparked with excitement when he realized where he was. He always liked visiting these parts of the forest, it calmed him. After all, any other time he was being mauled by an annoying little brat girl and was treated like a toy.

There was a small pond on his side. Trees were crowding and surrounding a bare open field that was interjected with the lake. There was a small log in the middle and a sign written in Crayon saying: Firefly Creek. Every Friday night, which was now, his favorite firefly which he named Rufus came. And with one firefly, there's always a million more.

"Oh, Rufus!" Danny's now squeaky and high-pitched voice echoed along the small forest."Come out, come out wherever you are..." He excitedly ran through the dozens of fireflies igniting their lights to each other. 'Rufus', as the boy had named him, however, seemed to understand Danny in some way. Rufus had a crooked antenna and always liked to follow Danny during necessary times. Or in this case, every Friday Night.

A firefly came out of the crowd and flew around Danny in a quick way. Danny giggled and followed the now flying firefly. Rufus always flew a little bit back as if saying "follow me" and Danny, being a curious and misunderstanding mischievous four-year-old always obeyed what he thought Rufus was telling him.

Rufus suddenly flew through the bushes that blocked the forward view. Danny laughed out loud in a cute manner before apathetically pushing the bushes apart, revealing to his eyes a very giant mansion that looked very familiar to Danny.

Rufus flew around the corner, to the side where the front door was and Danny tried his best to catch up with him. "Rufus, where are you?" Puzzled, he wonders if he went inside. Danny tippy-toed and tried to reach for the doorbell, which was too far for him to reach.

Danny sighed and knocked on the door with his fragile bony fingers in a fist. His delicate and gentle knock ringing throughout the whole house. Vlad sighed and grumbled some things before opening the doors with an angry thrust. Upon seeing the child, Vlad calmed himself a bit. The appearance was somehow familiar... this short little boy had black raven hair that didn't stretch too far, and covered his eyes a little. He was wearing a white t-shirt that was covered in a little dirt in the middle, and wore mini blue shorts. His sneakers were completely covered in mud, disgusting the man in every man.

Danny's lips formed a smile, he knew who this person was. It was uncle Vlad, Uncle Vlad loved him.(Just read the next chapter... x.x) "Hi, have you seen my firefly? His name is Rufus and he has a creuked antenna." Danny said in his new high-pitched voice. Vlad looked confusingly at the young boy. Stay Calm, he thought:

"Hi little boy. Where's your mommy and daddy?" Danny blinked slowly. Surely Uncle Vlad knew where his parents should be. "Amity Park," Vlad's eyebrows creased for a moment at the peculiar absurd answer. Amity Park? What is this boy doing here? He let out a sigh, suppressing all confusion and apprehension running his mind. Then a blinding impossible thought struck him like lightnin-

"Alright, alright...what's your name?" Danny's glee began to show. "Ooh! I know this one! Uh.. Danny Fenton! Yeah!"

Alright, see ya next chappie ^^
