15 years ago–

Vlad was resting by his massive fireplace in his green and gold coloured castle in Wisconsin. There was a vicious storm outside. Vlad could hear the rain pounding onto his roof in a soft sound. He had just finished lighting some of the candles in the living room and had just started to read one of his books, when he heard a car pull up in front of his house.

He glanced over at his clock. It read 11:31pm.

Who on earth would be here at this time? He thought as he placed his book on the coffee table, prepared to go up to the door and tell whoever it was to go away.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Vlad paced towards the door and opened it.

"Hello Vlad," said a voice. Vlad raised one brow. It sounded like a woman to him. He would know that voice anywhere.

The woman tugged off the hood and Vlad's eyes opened wide with shock. It was Maddie Fenton.

She immediately threw herself into his chest. Vlad took a step back, surprised at her actions. What is she doing? I can't say that I don't like the fact that she is hugging me, but she married Jack Fenton! I haven't seen Maddie in….years! He thought to himself.

"You'll never guess what happened to me," she said with her face still shoved into his chest. She was crying now.

"Um... well uh... this is a surprise," Vlad said, still not hugging her back just yet, " and you're probably right. I won't guess what happened to you, but I'm assuming that you're about to tell me."

"Jack forgot my birthday...AGAIN! He was too busy hunting ghosts to think about me!" she cried.

To be honest with himself, he had completely forgotten about it too, but he wasn't going to tell her that.

"That's horrible!" he said to her. "I would never forget your birthday!" He gave her a warm hug . "Maybe you should come in," he said, but quickly regretted it. He had just asked her to stay for the night! She was no doubt going to smack him across the face because of the implication of sex. Oh great, he thought, I totally just screwed that up. I'm in for it now. He braced himself for the smack, but it never came.

Maddie looked up at him, tears still in her eyes. It looked like she was thinking about his gesture!

"Well... sure. Why not," She finally said to him. A smile came across her face.

He gestured for her to come in. To his surprise, she walked right in casually. Dang, what a night of surprises.

Vlad assured her he would be right back and that she should make herself at home. He walked upstairs and got her a towel to dry off with. His suit was wet with her tears, but he wasn't really thinking about that at the moment. Why was Maddie Fenton in his house? Wasn't she married to Jack? With a one-year-old kid? This was something he would have to figure out soon.

He walked back downstairs and handed her the towel with his best romantic face on. "S-so," he stammered out, " what brings y-you here? All the way from Amity Park. isn't that a really long drive from here?" He mentally kicked himself for stuttering.

"I flew here. That car outside was just a rental," she said. "Wow!" she said as she looked at the clock. "Is it really that late?"

"Yep,"

"Can I stay for the night?" asked Maddie, sounding hopeful.

Vlad's eye twitched.. "uh...um...ah...sure! I'll have someone set a room up for you now!"

"Thank you, Vlad," Maddie said, continuing to wipe herself off with the towel.

Vlad figured this was a perfect time to tell her that he loved her. There were candles, she was in need, everything he figured that was romantic was right there! So he thought that this was the best time to see tell her after 5 years of loving her.

Vlad hesitantly sat down on the couch next to her.

" Hey um... Maddie?" he stammered.

She looked over at him, roemoving her face from the towel, reviling her appealing lavender eyes. Vlad thought he was going to melt to mush. She tilted her head to the side, questionably, when she saw the ooey gooey look on his face.

"Er...yes?" she asked. You could tell she was slightly nervous by her voice.

"There is s-something I-I have been wanting to...uh...ah...tell you uh..." he said.

Aw jeez, he thought, this is really hard. How could Jack be able to do this, but not me!

At that moment, Maddie lunged toward him and kissed him. Vlad's eyes were as wide as saucers, but then he calmed down and kissed her back.

After a few moments, Vlad reluctantly broke the kiss, though he kept his forehead against hers. "We can't do this here," He said in between breaths. "Maybe we could take this into my bedroom?"

"I'd love to." Maddie replied, suddenly forgetting about Jack and how much she loved him.

The Following Morning----

Oh my gosh, I feel really awful about this now, Maddie thought when she woke up, seeing Vlad sleeping next to her, topless. I definitely have to get out of here fast!

She wrote Vlad a note and placed it on the pillow she was sleeping on. She quietly tip toed out of the room, grabbed her coat, and left the castle to go back to Amity Park.

Vlad woke up the next morning to what he had thought was a dream. "Wow, that was a wild dream," he said to himself out loud as he sat up and rubbed his sore head.

He looked over at the other pillow of the large bed. There was a note! He picked it up. It read:

Vlad,

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't think that we belong together. I really regret what happened and I was totally out of control. Not to mention I am married to Jack and we have a child. I have forgiven Jack overnight after thinking about it. I am sorry for the misunderstanding last night and I will make it up to you later, but for now, I still love Jack. Speaking of which, I don't think we should tell him about this. I'm sorry to have put you up to this.

Your friend always,

Maddie 3

PS: thanks for the towel

Vlad read the letter over and over. He couldn't believe that day was real. She still doesn't know how I fee…she thinks that I didn't want that to happenl… He thought sadly.. He put the note in his drawer, went over to his dresser, put on a white shirt and blue jeans, and went downstairs.

Just like any other day.

But little did he know that last night would change his life forever.

15 years later-----

On a cold winter day in December, a lone boy walked along the sidewalks of Wisconsin.

He had snowy white hair with blue tips. His hair was shaggy and gelled upwards so that only a few strands of hair fell into his face, so it flowed in the blustering wind. He looked like he had been walking for a very long time. He had grey goggles resting on the top of his head. His shirt was bright blue with red and white stripes through the middle. He had some type of large grey gloves on his hands that cut at the fingers. He had a large grey backpack with him. It was heavy. His pants were worn out blue jeans that kept falling down, revealing his red polka dotted boxers.

The boy pulled up his pants as he took out a picture from his back pocket. It had a man and a woman in it. The woman had red hair. The man had long, snowy white hair, like the boy's, only the boy's hair was cut short.

As the boy looked at the picture, he smiled from ear to ear, revealing his perfect white teeth. . I can't wait to meet you guys, he thought to himself, just be patient, I will be there soon you Mom n' Dad!

He stopped in the driveway of a green and gold castle. He looked at a piece of paper in his hand.

"Yup, this is the place alright," he said to himself. He looked at the house. "Must be a packers fan. That's good, considering I am too. There's one thing I get from him besides my hair."

, "The boy than said, as he walked up to the large doorway. "Jeez, but I am gonna get him an interior designer for father's day!"
