Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or coke (If I did, I'd be freakin RICH!)

Danny glared heatedly at the ceiling in his room appearing to stare intently at a NASA poster above his bed. However he was actually stewing over the latestof Vlad's schemes. That stupid fruit loop! He just had to ruin everything!The infamous "fruit loop"" was temporarily staying with the Fentons. Vlad, was on a business trip near Amity Park. The media just loved anything related to Vlad Masters so of course the local news caught wind that Vlad Masters was in town.

The news spread like wild-fire that the "rich young single billionaire Vlad Masters," was near the little town. Jack exited at the prospect of seeing his "old collegepal" had called Vlad up and offered for "V-man" to stay at Fenton works until he had finished up business near Amity Park and had to head back to his castle in the great dairy state, Wisconsin. Vlad surprisingly enough, accepted JACKS' offer. Jack was "over the moon" to say the least. Danny however, not so much. He knew the cheese head was planning something.

Vlad NEVER would have accepted Jacks offer unless the man had some scheme planned for the weekend...

"Danny! Sweetie, it's time for dinner!"

Danny, lost in thought, was vaguely aware of his mother, Maddie Fenton calling. Grumbling something about fruit loops and evil billionaires he slowly slid off his bed and headed towards the bathroom. Trying to waste as much time before the inevitable event of eating with the "psycho cheese head." Having nothing to do in the bathroom but try to waste 2 or 3 minutes, he decided to stare at himself in the mirror. First he made faces, and then he flexed his arms and tried to sound like Dash.

Moving on to what he dubbed Dash's "dumb sexy jock pose" Danny took off his shirt and tried for what his version of a suave flirting tone,

"Hey there baby. Just got off practice if you couldn't tell. Wanna come hang wit-"

Suddenly a face that was not his flickered in the mirror than solidified. It was none other than Vlad Plasmius staring at him through the mirror, an amused smirk highlighting his expression.

"Why Daniel I do believe as 'important' as your business here is, we are in need of your presence for dinner to begin."

A slightly tinged red color rushed to the boys' cheeks,

"I-I-I'm…, coming!"

He quickly retorted, darting out of the bathroom. Plasmius let out a low chuckle amused by Danny's antics. He phased out of the mirror and transformed back into Vladimir Masters. He walked out of the bathroom, quietly shutting the door behind him with a slight glint of smugness in his eyes.

"If it's this easy to get under Daniels' skin, then, this summer will indeed be entertaining,"

he thought wickedly. Back at the Fenton table, Danny glared daggers at Vlad, whom sat opposite of him. Somehow, Danny managed to take bites of lasagna and chug his favorite soft drink, Coke, while maintaining his glaring contest at the older halfa. Vlad either didn't notice or didn't care.

"So V-man, why don't you stay another night!?"

Jack blurted enthusiastically. Vlad paused as if to think about it,

"I'm not sure Jack, I'm about finished with business here."

He sighed as if it was truly regrettable. Jack, falling for Vlad's false tragic tone (as always) naïvely tried to convince the billionaire to stay.

"Ahh, I'm sure one more day wouldn't hurt! I know Danny here, sure would like it if you stayed!"

Coughing and sputtering was heard at the end of the table as Danny choked on his Coke at that last comment. Amusement lit up Vlad's eyes for a brief second at Jacks comment, and the "graceful" reaction it received.

"Well I suppose I could for Daniel. I know how much he enjoys my company."

Vlad replied, his face full of mock sincerity. Danny, at this point was seething with anger. Vlad routinely mocked Jack this way during his visits to the Fentons. Vlad's discreet mocking usually just annoyed the younger halfa but, today was different. Something had been off about the man all day to Danny.

The man usually went out of his to bother the boy. Today, however, was different. Vlad had avoided him all day. Not that the younger halfa cared. In fact Danny was actually pretty happy about it, seeing as how he was able to beat level 10 of his new 'Doomed' video game. He'd caught up on his sleep and was even able to start some of his English homework Mr. Lancer relentlessly assigned.

Danny hadn't thought anything of it until he noticed the private conversations Vlad kept having with his parents. At first the boy dismissed it but when he came into earshot of their conversation they immediately dispersed. After that Danny knew something was up. He tried eves dropping by "going ghost" and turning invisible to listen but he must have set off Vlad's ghost sense off because the man's eyes flashed red warningly in the boy's direction even though Danny was invisible. Vlad subtly changed the subject, asking Maddie what "heavenly delicacies" she was preparing for dinner.

After that they stopped their discussion seemed to come to a close, leaving Danny in the dark about the topic of said discussion. Danny was on red alert after that. Vlad must have been up to something. Never had the man come down before and carried on private conversations involving his mother and FATHER. Maybe if it was just Danny's mom but when Vlad voluntarily included his dad something was up, Danny knew it.

Therefore, the boy reasoned he was entitled to his rage towards the older man. How dare Vlad play his parents like this how dare that-that- CRAZED UP FRUIT LOOP, taunt him in his own house, at his dinner table, while he was eating, WITH HIS FAMILY! As Danny worked himself into a rage he didn't realize how hard he was clutching his glass, or the cracks forming from his grip around the delicate piece of china.

"Alright V-man's staying one more night! Isn't that great Danny!?" Jack asked his enraged son excitedly.

To say the least, Danny exploded. The sound of shattered glass echoed throughout the small dining room. Shards of glass littered the table and scattered to random parts of the hard wood floors. Danny stood up immediately his chair screeching beneath him from his hasty departure. The chair clattered to the floor.

The room fell dead silent at the bang of the chair.

"Why does he have to stay here?!"

Danny yelled, pounding his fist on the table as if to make his opinion more clear. The stunned room remained silent. Danny seething with fury continued his enraged ranting ignoring the stares directed at his hand.

"I don't understand! Why is he even here? What has he done for us?!

He's a stuck up rich ASSHOLE who only cares about himself! He's a piece of-"

"DANNY!"

Maddie Fenton yelled at her enraged son.

"THAT IS ENOUGH!"

She hissed vehemently. Vlad stared stone faced at the scene unfolding before him.

"D-Danny... Your hand..."

Jazz trailed off quietly unsure of how to handle the situation herself. Jazz's quite plea seemed to have been heard by the young halfa, as his still shocked expression from his mother's outburst, drifted down to gaze at his hands. At first his brain didn't seem to register what his eyes were staring at but, slowly, as the adrenaline from his fit of anger seeped away, he was left with a stabbing pain in his left hand. As if the pain from the wound put together the picture before him, he slowly saw the damage he had inflicted upon himself. His left hand lay covered with lacerations and cuts with oddly shaped pieces of glass jutting out.

Blood trailed down his hand in little rivers of crimson, only to land on the wood floor beneath him and stain it with sticky little droplets. Finally realizing what he'd just done the boy simply stared wordlessly at his audience sitting around the table. Jack Fenton, unsure of what to do, simply mumbled something about calling an ambulance and quickly headed off to the safety of the kitchen to alert paramedics of the situation. Mrs. Fenton stood, pushing back her chair with a loud screech mirroring that of her son only minutes earlier. With contained rage, she spoke to Danny in a low harsh voice,

"You will not use that kind of language in this house. Furthermore, you do not use it refer to a guest in our home. I don't know where you learned such behavior Danny, but, your father and I will NOT tolerate it."

Danny stuttered not used to such animosity coming from his mother,

"M-Mom I-I'm s-sor"

Maddie cut him off with a sharp glare. The ghost huntress continued her verbal rampage,

"Danny something's wrong. Your behavior this past year has been so destructive"

She exclaimed in exasperation.

"Skipping classes, sneaking out, coming home 3 hours after curfew, for goodness sakes Danny, your teachers say the classes you do, attend you just sleep!"

Maddie ranted in frustration.

"M-Mom I can... I can bring up my grades I…"

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT DANIEL FENTON! I am tired of you excuses!"

After Danny's initial embarrassing outburst the ghost huntress had all but had it with her sons' excuses. From her perspective Danny was headed down a very wrong path and by God she was going to do everything in her power to stop it. Little did she know her son was the exact opposite of the rebellious teen she thought he was. Under the impression she was doing what was "right for her child" she continued on with Danny's sentence. In reality she would be unknowingly leaving the life of her only son in the hands of a man who was out for his blood.

Danny halted his rambling midsentence, completely stunned his mother had actually yelled at him. In all of Danny's 14 almost 15 years of life he could not once recall his mother raising her voice let alone telling him to 'shut up.' Danny couldn't really help the missed classes, breaking curfew, and sleeping in class he came home exhausted almost every night, the boy reasoned. He had to get sleep somewhere as long as ghosts tormented Amity he would be there to fight them. However, he couldn't exactly explain that to his parents, no matter how much he wanted to, especially now.

His mother looked away from him and continued on,

"Danny your father and I decided last week we were going to do something about your behavior."

Sighing heavily she stated with finality,

"Vlad is here on business but he's also here to pick you up."

She turned her head to look at the billionaire,

"Vlad, if you're still up to it, DESPITE my son's rude behavior, Jack and I would really appreciate it if you are still willing to take Danny to Wisconsin, if you can't… I'm sure there are other...programs… out there we could try..."

As if wanting to wipe the desolate look off Maddie's, face Vlad replied reassuringly

"Of course my offer still stands Maddie as you know I think of young Daniel as the son I never had. I would gladly give my help to YOU... -and Jack"

he added as an afterthought, like he actually cared about the "giant buffoon." Danny, finally seeming to break out of the shock that he was going to live with Vlad for the summer retorted,

"But- but, there's still 3 weeks left of school! And, what about exams and-"

Maddie cut him off again with a cold look and replied,

"We called Casper High a week ago. You're going Danny. You'll finish your classes and exams online."

Danny continued to argue,

"But Vlad works all the time! Doesn't he have like 10 companies or something?! How is going to Vlad's going to 'make me better' anyways?!."

Maddie let out a sharp exhale, rubbing her temple; she answered Danny's question,

"Vlad's business trip near Amity was to finish up some last-minute business before he went on vacation for the summer."

She paused letting what she was saying sink into her son.

"Danny, Vlad will be with you all summer, he's not working. Your father and I think maybe some time away from Amity will be good for you. We'd ground you Danny, but it hasn't seemed to do anything. When you're at Vlad's this summer, you're not watching TV, and playing video games. You'll be doing whatever Vlad needs you for. And so help me Daniel James Fenton if you don't listen to Vlad you're father and I have no problem coming all the way out to Wisconsin to make sure you do! "

She paused for a second as if looking for the right words

"Danny... We know you're a good kid… We think maybe some time away from home with no distractions will help you in a way your father and I can't."

She looked away again and continued on with a hard voice

"Danny, I love you...I just...I don't know what else to do."

With a cold look she turned away from her son. However, Danny swore he saw something wet fall from her harsh gaze before she turned but, just as quick as he saw it she blinked and it was gone. With that she walked towards the kitchen to check up on Jack. Danny, not looking at anything in particular spoke quietly to Vlad,

"Why didn't anyone tell me? Why did you all sneak around?! Why did MY parents LIE to me?! They all acted like you were just staying for the weekend? Why..."

Vlad inhaled sharply, clearly exhausted by the day's events, and replied with a sharp exhale,

"Your parents wanted to ease you into the idea at dinner Daniel. However, you never gave them the chance. With the little stunt you pulled it's amazing you even know where you're going tomorrow."

Danny attempted to glare at the man, but, the blood loss was getting to him. A simple glare felt like running a marathon to the young halfa. Feeling tired as hell, Danny picked his chair up off the floor and sat down. Jazz, wanting to offer the help she could, brought a towel out for Danny to put his hand in while they waited for the paramedics to come and give them further instruction on what to do about Danny's hand. She put a hand on his shoulder, trying to offer a small bit of comfort from the night's events.

Vlad stared wordlessly at them before heading off to the kitchen with the rest of the adults to discuss the matters at hand.
