Hi everyone! This was originally planned to be my first Danny Phantom phanfic, but then I had tons of other ideas and kind of forgot about this one! Anyway, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. If I did, Nickelodeon would have a very angry person on their hands. Also, this wouldn't be a fanfic, it would be an episode.

Danny Fenton, also known as ghost-fighting superhero Danny Phantom, flew into his room after a long day of ghost fighting. Transforming into his human form, he looked over at the clock and sighed. 9:45pm. Brilliant, just brilliant.

"Great, it's nearly 10, and I haven't even been able to do anything relaxing!" Danny groaned. "This is just not my day. First the ever-annoying Box Ghost shows up, then Undergrowth, then Vlad! It just never seems to end!" He walked over to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. His jet black hair was disheveled, and his bright blue eyes held exhaustion in their gaze. No doubt about it, it had been a long day for the young halfa.

However, one particular event of the day had Danny at unease: when Vlad had shown up. Vlad Masters, another half ghost who called himself Vlad Plasmius, came and battled Danny quite often, and the teenage boy never gave it a second thought. However, there was something especially unsettling about today's encounter…

Flashback

Danny had been patrolling the city, searching for signs of any ghostly activity. He had just defeated Undergrowth, and thanks to his ice powers it was an easy victory. Danny was now ready to go home and at least get 15 minutes of peace. Unfortunately, any chance of that was ruined by what happened next.

"Ah, Daniel, you're just the one I was looking for!"

Danny swiftly turned around. He knew that voice! "What do you want Plasmius? I've been busy all day, so let's just finish this quickly so I can get some peace and quiet!"

"Oh Danny," Vlad said with a meanacing leer, "when the time comes, you won't be able to find peace and quiet in this world. In fact, you'll find just the opposite soon enough."

Danny's fists were balled up now, emitting a green glow of ectoplasmic energy. "What do you mean?" He stared at Vlad curiously.

Vlad only grinned at him. "Now, now Daniel, you wouldn't want to spoil the big surprise, now would you? Let's just say that soon you might start to be seeing double." Without another word, but a malicious glance at Danny, Vlad disappeared.

End Flashback

"What exactly did he mean by that?" Danny said to himself. "It's so strange…" Feeling uneasy but tired, he changed into his pajamas and slipped into bed, staring out the window. "I'll have more time to think about this tomorrow," Danny said to himself as he drifted off to sleep.

Unknown to Danny, a figure, completely invisible, watched as the young halfa fell into dreamland. "The time is drawing near," the figure whispered, his voice seeming to carry on the wind. He concentrated on the power within himself, and a crimson mist formed around him. The mist floated over toward Danny, encircling him, finally fading as it drew near the sleeping halfa.

"Soon Danny Fenton," the figure whispered into the night, making his red eyes visible as he left. "Soon you shall know…and you shall become…"
