Becoming Me.

Sometimes there's no point in doing anything. There's no reason, and even if you spend everyday doing something you love, something that makes you someone, in the end, you're still no one.

Story of my life. Everyday for the past year I've saved everyone's lives from ghosts, battled a fruitloop who wants my mom as his wife and me as his son, all the while trying to balance school, nosy people, and time with you're best friends. I can't say I haven't changed, cause I have. I act like I haven't though, what else can I do? How do I tell my parents that I, a 15 year old boy, have no care for the future or anything of that sory becuase I know it won't exist for me.

It's not necessarily possible, and due to Daniel Fenton's failing grades, lack of interest, and over all bad attitude he's getting sent to a summer baording school sponsered by the Fruitloop himself! Joy!

There is one thing that makes no sense though. I passed all of my classes with a D or higher, considering this was only freshman year I should be fine, but I suppose considering I was higher standards by everyone in middle as well as the first few months of high school, I guess they think I'm not as dumb as my grades show. But still, I shouldn't have to go to this thing.

The sound of someone knocking on my door brought me out of my thoughts but not fast enough becuase Vlad had made it into my room and closed my door without a single objection on my part.

"Plasmius" I couldn't help the growl that escaped me. Hey! After how many times he's attacked me, you'd think that smirk of his would be involuntary too! I'm guessing not though...

"Pla..Vlad? What's" I watched as he continued to walk around my room, trying to look for something, wait is that..."Don't touch that! It's the only one I have left!"

He held up my rocket in confusion, "This is your obsession, I doubt it... what else..." He kept muttering and even with my super hearing I could barely hear him. He was scared, confused, and ... worried? About me?

"What are you doing here Vlad?" My question seemed to bring him out of his thoughts as he motioned for me sit down.

"Daniel, this," his deep breaths ensured me this wasn't anything good, " this is going to take a while to explain, and until I finish, I need you to just listen. Just, please. I know, I know I seem like a crazed loon, and maybe I am. But I need you to give me this chance to explain."

Anger boiled beneath my surface, this fucked up idiot is not about to tell me that he's sorry for everything and had a sudden change of heart, cuase if he does then I'm about to explode on him. But just as I was about to open my mouth a blue light flashed bright enough to make me close my eyes and two words hit my ears, "Time out!"

"Clockwork," the breath I didn't realize I had been holding finally let out, and his child form was floating in front of me.

"You know as well as I Daniel the ways your life can go. But I come here today because of another reason." At this point laughter bubbled in me as the image of the screaming observants chasing Clockwork out of his tower came to mind.

Hmph.

Looking up I watched as Clockwork set two medillians in a box and into my suitcase, shock swept over and I my mouth agape as words formed that I couldn't quite comprehend.

"Daniel, come time in the future you are to be my successor, and it is known to many my control of time makes me impossible to go against and ultimately one of the most powerful ghosts. It is even more well known that you will become the most powerful, but there are many things you are unaware of young one. Many things I am forbidden to teach you. While you are gone, Tucker, Sam, Valerie and the rest of your family will hunt ghosts for you. But while you are there, you must listen to Vlad. There is much he knows that is the truth, and it is time that you listened."

At this point my disbelief and shock had transformed into aggrevation as I spoke words that I knew Clockwork already knew, but I needed to say.

"What truths? And what is this a sudden change of heart? Vlad's made my life miserable fromt the start! I don't belive anything he has said ever!"

"Breathe Danny, breathe. As for the truths are what he will tell you now. Every word out of his mouth will be the truth and Daniel you must hear him out. That is as much as I can say." As he began to leave he answered my last unspoken question.

"In due time." Not quite the answer I wanted, b- "Time in!"

Taking a deep breath I spoke to Vlad what I knew Clockwork came hear to make sure I would do.

"I'm Listening."
