Sunday is a great day... maybe I'll update by then : ) Enjoy!

I do not own Danny Phantom, Danny Fenton, Vlad Masters, Vlad Plasmius, Sam Manson, and love... for I am hopless...

Danny

One year later after saving Vlad and my friends from the ecto acne, I was having the time of my life! Fighting ghosts have gotten easier, and Vlad seemed to be appearing less and less. Sure he had become the mayor of my town, but as long as he kept his distance, it wasn't a problem!

The actual problem was the fact that my feelings had changed for Sam. After the acne incident, I had a strange feeling of sadness that seemed to ruin my mood for a while. As I thought about all these things, I flew into the night sky thinking nothing could go wrong.

Suddenly, I got a text message from Tucker that almost made me freefall from the sky. Vlad had Sam! I sped towards Vlad's mansion with my hair and ghostly tail falling behind me. Vlad was so dead!

Vlad

It had been a year since young Daniel had saved me. After forcing him to save me, I was sure that I would resume my plans to rule the world. For some reason however, I found myself spending less time in my lab and more time with paperwork and other nonsense.

I had spent the day organizing the files for the crime in Amity Park dressed in my traditional black suit and pants, with my white hair tied in a neat ponytail. I scratched my pen as I filled in the last report, then went back to my daily thoughts. It was later in the day that I realized that Daniel probably thought I had forgotten him, as I had forgotten to make any plans to ruin his life by stealing his mother and killing his idiot father. I gritted my teeth and slammed my fists on the paperwork before me on my desk, making papers fly around me. I would not be ignored! Not by any Fenton! I turned into my ghost half and flew off to kidnap the young goth girl Daniel so obviously loved. I will make him pay for ignoring me! (AN: I think he has the wrong reason for kidnapping Sam lolz)

I soon kidnapped her and put her in a ghost proof cage in my secret lab, making sure to unlock the portal for Daniel to use. Floating next to her invisible, I watched her yell and scream for Daniel to save her.

'What does he see in her anyways? She wears too much black…' I thought as her efforts decreased.

I gave an evil chuckle and revealed myself to her, letting my white cape ruffle dramatically behind me to give a sinister look to myself. "Glad to see you're getting comfortable girl, but you will stay here forever unless the young hero shows himself."

She looked at me and threw her hands up in the air. "What do you want with Danny anyways? It's been years since you even showed your face and you just kidnap me randomly! Do you want him to join you? Or do you want him to exchange his mom for me?"

I was about to reply, but I shut my mouth, put my hand by my head at the thought. I actually had no reason to do this at all. I would usually scheme my latest plans with caution and be many steps ahead of my worthless opponents. Life was like chess. They were all pawns.

'But Danny isn't a pawn to you anymore?' a far away voice echoed.

Confused, I looked around at the sound in my head. That didn't sound like Clockwork… so who was it?

"Who are you!" I yelled in the air.

The girl saw this and started laughing at me. "Have you lost it? Man I can't wait for Danny to see you like this!"

I turned to her and prepared to fire an ecto blast at the goth brat. "Silence! Or I will injure you before Daniel gets here!"

"Already here!" the teen hero called as he flew into the room.

I turned around and floated up to him with a wide grin on my face. "Ah Daniel! Come to save your little friend?"

He snarled at me and charged up a green ecto beam, letting his white hair fall in front of his narrowed eyes. "Save it Plasmius! What do you want anyways?"

I wasn't sure how to answer, but before I could, I noticed that Danny had stopped the ecto blast and had become silent. His green eyes seemed to be looking at Sam in shock. I wasn't sure why, so I followed his gaze. She looked normal in her black shirt and skirt, but then I noticed something different that I never saw before. Around her neck was a black and white scarf with flecks of blue weaved into it.

"That's not yours!" Daniel and I both yelled at the same time.

The girl froze, Danny froze, I froze, and no one seemed to move for a long time.

"W-where did you get that?" Danny asked as he landed on the floor of my lab. He held his head like someone had hit him with a crowbar.

The goth girl Sam raised an eyebrow and looked at Daniel with confusion. "I found it in my closet… sometimes I find stuff I might have gotten from the past, but I found this last year and I wear it out at night when it's cold and stuff."

I started to feel woozy to and landed in front of her cage. "That's Daniels… give it back…" I muttered.

"Danny's? How would you know?"

How would I know? I had no clue, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little badger faint and turn into his human form. Before I could figure out what was happening, I soon followed into darkness.

Oh cliffy! How I hate you so! I will update I promise my peoples! Here are some questions to ask yourself. Who is the voice? Why did the scarf make them faint? What is Danny thinking? What will Vlad find in the darkness? When will they wake up. Until then,

Chow! : )
