Chapter One
A week had passed since Danny had saved the world. He had revealed his secret, and was now the most famous person on Earth. He was due to meet the President, and various other leaders, in a couple of days in order to help sign an agreement of some sort between Earth and the Ghost Zone. He knew he couldn't promise a truce, well, not a total one, but he could promise to help let the few friendly ghosts in the Ghost Zone come to Earth without fear of being attacked. A few people had suggested that they be allowed to go into the Ghost Zone, but Danny doubted they would be allowed in. The police and military had been given weapons that would help fight against ghosts should Danny be occupied, absent or in need of aid.
Danny and Sam were now going out, and neither could have been happier. Of course, being a globally known celebrity did have it's disadvantages. Occasionally Danny would have to turn invisible to avoid the rushing crowd that would seemingly appear out of nowhere whenever he exited the house. Similar things would happen whenever Sam, Tucker, or any of the Fentons tried to leave their respective premises.
Danny was sitting in his room. He looked out his window and saw the regular crowd of reporters and fans. He sighed and stood up. He had to be going to school soon, and even there, he was going to have to deal with reporters and fans. Tucker was rarely ever in school anymore, he spent most of his time in City Hall, dealing with his duties as Mayor. Danny was just about to turn invisible and fly out the window to collect Sam when he saw the sheets on his bed crease as if someone was sitting on them, even though there appeared to be no-one there.
"Who's there?" Danny asked.
After a few seconds, Dani appeared on his bed.
"Hey cousin," Dani said smiling.
"Dani? What are you doing here?" Danny asked.
"What? I can't visit the only family I have?"
"Well, no, you can...but why are you here?"
"I've been living on the street for the last couple of weeks, and I'm really tired of it. I want to be able to sleep in a bed, eat food that isn't likely to have a disease....take a shower."
She said the last sentence while looking pleadingly at Danny.
"I was wondering if I could come and live with you?" Dani asked. "Your parents, hell, the world, knows what you are, so it should be alright for me to come and live with you. Your parents should understand."
"I don't know Dani," Danny said. "We'll find out this afternoon. Right now, I've got to go to school."
"What am I going to do until then?"
"Find something."
Danny said it more harshly than he had intended. He saw the hurt look on her face and felt guilty.
"I'm sorry. I've just got a lot going on now," Danny said. "I haven't really had a moments peace since the Disasteriod incident. Between school, reporters, ghosts...I've barely slept. Just, read some of the comics, or play a few video games. Just try to keep it down, I don't want my parents to hear you."
She nodded and watched as he flew out the window, turning invisible as he left. She sighed and looked around the room, trying to find something to keep her occupied until Danny got home.
Sam was waiting by her window. There was no way to know when Danny was there until he said something. Her parents were both angry at, and proud of her when Danny had revealed himself. They were angry because she had lied to them for so long, and proud of her because she had helped to save the world. They had finally stopped pestering her to wear girly clothes, and she was thankful for it. She felt someone tap on her shoulder and she turned around. Danny materialised in front of her, and she kissed him. She jumped onto Danny's back, he turned them invisible, and they flew out the window.
"What took you so long?" Sam asked.
"Dani's back," Danny said simply. "She wants to move in."
"What did you say?"
"I said that we'll have to ask my parents this afternoon."
Sam nodded as he flew toward the school. They usually just floated in through the walls and waited in their classroom. Today was no different.
Vlad was floating through space. He had fallen asleep a while back, not sure of when it was 'day' or 'night.' The sun was always on hime, so he couldn't be sure anymore. He hadn't eaten in a week, and was feeling very weak. A portal opened a few feet to his left, and he continued to sleep. The Fright Knight emerged from the portal and grabbed Vlad and walked back through it. The Fright Knight placed Vlad onto a medical cart and looked down at him. Vlad was still asleep, he hadn't realised he was no longer in space. Fright Knight shook his and slapped Vlad across the face, causing him to wake.
"No Jack, don't leave me here," he yelled, sitting up.
He looked around and realised he was in his lab. He spotted Fright Knight and understood what had happened. He had watched from space as the asteroid passed right through Earth and knew that it had been Danny who would have suggested it.
"I've sealed the lab off from the main building," Fright Knight said. "The humans have entered your house cleared out everything you possessed."
Vlad nodded, he'd known they would. He had no fortune, no human friends, no-one to help him. He sighed and got off of the medical cart.
"Do you have any food?" Vlad asked.
The Fight Knight pointed to his left and Vlad saw a tray of fruit there. He smiled and began to eat. After Vlad was finished eating most of the food, Fright Knight cleared his throat.
"What are we going to do now Master?" he asked.
"Nothing," Vlad said. "There is nothing more fo me to do. You are free to go if that is what you want."
The Fright Knight scowled but left through Vlad's Ghost Portal.
