Yay, a clone fic! I'm going to try this one out.

Hopefully the clone doesn't seem like a...not clone, but this is because of this. Ahem.

Vlad doesn't have Danny's mid-morph DNA yet, so he used his own. The clone ends up looking like Danny, but with some Vlad-ish features, especially in her ghost form. Oh, and Vlad made her a girl because the most stable clone he made before was Danielle, who is a girl. I changed some of the episode a bit (D-Stabilized). So I guess she's kind of like Vlad and Danny's…child. Eheh. Oh, well. Pompous Pep fans rejoice! :D

Vlad Masters looked at the final product, the last and the almost perfect. It had taken him countless more failures to realize that there was one more thing needed to make this one the most stable. He should have realized sooner, when that one 'mistake' had served him so well.

One chromosome. One chromosome was all that needed to be changed. The only side effect was the fact that Vlad's perfect half-ghost son wouldn't be a son at all.

Vlad also had to change some things besides the gender. He would use this clone to get close to Daniel. When Daniel trusted the clone, Vlad would have her get some of that all-important mid-morph DNA. Since the billionaire lacked that, he had to use some of his own.

Using DNA that wasn't Daniel's had altered her appearance quite a bit, but that was good. If she looked like an older version of Danielle suspicions would arise quite quickly.

Vlad moved towards the chamber where the girl was. It was roughly the size of a coffin, and the front of the door was all glass.

Her hair went down to the shoulder like Vlad's instead of hanging in front of her face. Her hair was black though, because both Vlad and Danny had black hair. She looked older than she really was and is rather tall for a 15 year old.

The old halfa had no idea what she looked like in ghost form. She was still in her chamber, and not completely stabilized yet.

Vlad blinked. He still needed to name her. The billionaire couldn't just call her 'her' anymore.

Hmm...Not Danielle, that was too obvious. Nothing exotic either, that would be too attention getting. That ruled out names like Vanessa, Jasmine, Amber, and Faith.

Maybe Maddie?...No no no, as much as he wanted to, Vlad couldn't name her that.

Perhaps...Emily? Too plain. Adrianna? Too long. Jordan? Too masculine.

Sarah, Kelsie, Kate, Deana, Christine, Kiah, Joanna, Mirasol, Jennifer. None of them fit!

The white haired man quietly grumbled in frustration. Naming was harder than he previously thought. He named his other clone Danielle because it sounded like Daniel. That was just unoriginal. And suspicious. This had to be something nice, short, sweet, and didn't sound like Daniel (though Vlad was tempted).

He picked a letter at random. 'N'. What names start with 'N'?

Natalie...Nancy...Naomi...Nicole...Nicole! That was good enough.

Vlad walked over to the newly named clone's chamber, smirking slightly with his small new victory.

"Almost, Nicole. Almost ready." He stated. As if in response, the clone's eyes fluttered open, briefly locking with Vlad's before closing.

They were a light blue.

'Just like Daniel's' The older halfa thought.

Then, a familiar voice spoke up.

"She's ready, my handsome master. Would you like a cookie? I made them just for you!" A holographic Maddie sparked into existence and chirped the announcement lovingly.

"Excellent, my dear! Cut off the oxygen and anesthesia in her chamber and let in some real air. Do I look presentable?"

"Of course, sweetie! You always look nice and handsome and so much better than Jack." The hologram continued to gush praise at her creator.

"I do, don't I?" Vlad said smugly."Now let's take a look at my new clo-I mean...Nicole."

The door to the chamber that held Nicole swung upward, releasing misty air and a very confused person.

Hopefully you liked it. This chapter and the next few will be a little short, because those chapters will kinda set up the characters and setting. After that, brace yourself for longness (that's not even a word :D)!

To AngelGirl10296, I'm so sorry! I am living in a temporary house because the army housing office didn't mention the bigger houses available to those of my dad's rank. Mom noticed and argued with the housing office so now we must wait for our quarters to be available. But it will be worth it! Hopefully I can get three more good stories up so you don't have to wait for me anymore. Internet at last! (I'm at the library right now :) so I am using that time to publish.)

Three to go,
