Vlad Masters had been having a normal day.
He had woken up early, ate breakfast, went to his company and worked the whole morning. He had done more paperwork when he had gotten home, and had had lunch. The rest of the afternoon was spent in his lab, working on his various projects: the Maddie hologram, his cloning techniques and various other ghost related things.
He had stopped for tea and dinner when his cell phone ringed, he frowned. Not many people had his private cell phone, and quickly decided to answer it, thinking it was an emergency.
"Hello?" Vlad asked, taking a sip of his tea.
"Erm, Vlad?" Replied a shaky male voice.
Vlad felt slightly annoyed, "Yes?"
"I- um... this is Danny. Daniel Fenton. I want to tell you that my parents found out."
"Found out what Daniel?" Vlad snapped, feeling annoyed that the teen had called him for something so trivial.
"About the accident."
Vlad nodded to himself, "Have you called to gloat over how they accepted your ghost half, because if so-"
"That's the thing. They didn't."
"Didn't what Daniel?" Vlad snapped, anger building in his chest: he liked straight answers, not vague ones.
"They accept me. I'm getting my things now. I-I can't stay here."
Vlad heard a loud crash on the other end of the line, and heard Daniel yelp, "What do you want, Daniel?"
"I need a place to stay, and I can't stay here. You're the only one who's safe, and who knows. Please, Jazz is in college and I don't want her to worry."
Vlad smiled, feeling a plan start to build itself in his mind, "Of course Daniel. You do realize I am in Wisconsin."
"You can teleport. Please Dad threatened to pull me apart molecule by molecule until I tell them where their son is."
"Of course Daniel, where do you want to meet up?"
"The Nasty Burger should be okay, thank you. This means a lot."
Vlad was about to say something else, but before he could, the line went dead.
LINE BREAK
Author's Note: I do not own Danny Phantom. This story will be a Vlad/Danny friendship. Probably in a parental way. Obviously, Danny's parents didn't accept him. Ignore Phantom Planet.
