Summary: What if Danny and Sam hadn't been together when Ember played her "love song"? What if Danny had been fighting Vlad when the song hit him? IDK. Let's find out!

PS: This is just for fun, not serious at all! Lots a fluff and cuteness! Enjoy~!

"Hellooo Casper High!" Ember yelled into the microphone, the entire student body screaming and cheering her on as they stood gathered outside the school. "Tell me who you love!"

"Ember! Ember! Ember!" The crowd cheered.

"Ember! Ember!"

"Tucker! Cut that out! You're only making her stronger!" Sam scolded the techno geek.

"Sorry."

"Looks like I'm goin' ghost!" (YAY! Love Danny's "battle cry"!) Sam and Tucker covered their friend as Danny Fenton changed into Danny Phantom and leaped into the air. He flew higher, right above Ember's band and got out his thermos ready to suck up her and her ghostly band until,

*cold breath* (it's lame I know, but that means his ghost sense just went off)

"Huh?" Looking up the ghost boy saw none other than his arch-nemesis, standing tall and proud in the air with a pleased look on his face. "Plasmius." Danny muttered in distain.

Vlad's point of view

"So this is the ghost girl with mind controlling abilities." Vlad confirmed out loud. "But the power doesn't come from her, it comes from her music." The halfa grinned revealing his perfect snow white fangs. "Stealing her power for my own will be easier than I thought."

No sooner did the words leave his mouth did a blast of green ectoplasm hit him right in the shoulder pushing him several feet back and forcing a pained gasp from his lips.

Vlad's solid red eyes darted around to where the blast had come from but didn't have to look long as Danny Phantom flew up in front of him.

"What're you doing here Plasmius?" The ghost boy half asked, half demanded.

"He sure does get to the point doesn't he?" The older halfa thought in amusement. "Why Daniel, it's good to see you. It's been awhile hasn't it?" Vlad smiled charmingly while using his mocking tone making Danny's blood boil.

"Not long enough." The boy replied with a glare.

"Well to answer your question, I'm merely here to enjoy the show." The man gestured to the pop star's concert still going on below them. "That is, until you blasted me for no reason."

"Oh, I could think of plenty." Danny's gloved hands started glowing green letting the ecto energy build up inside him.

The vampire, oh! I mean, vampiric halfa, noticed this and quickly said, "I didn't come here to fight you Daniel. And it seems you've got other things to worry about, since it looks like all those teenagers are about to tear your English Teacher to pieces." The man smirked pointing down at the mob that had formed and was now closing in on Mr. Lancer.

"What? !" The energy in Danny's hands quickly faded as he looked down. Darn it! He forgot about Ember! "Sorry I can't stay and catch up with you Plasmius." The teen said before diving down toward the angry mob.

"Not at all dear boy." Vlad replied with a grin suddenly flying right beside him. How does he do that? ! "In fact, since I'm feeling rather generous today, I'll help you."

"You… You will?" Danny asked in disbelief.

"But of course." The man smirked. "You just worry about saving that poor defenseless teacher," Vlad said in mock concern, "and I'll take care of Miss McLain." His tone darkened in evil eagerness. (Pfffft! Evil eagerness!)

"What!" Before the ghost boy could stop him Vlad hurried past him heading directly toward the pop diva.

Danny growled as he had no other choice but to do as Vlad said otherwise Mr. Lancer would pay for it.

"Having a fun time are we?" Vlad smirked appearing right next to Ember on her stage. The ghost girl immediately stopped singing and looked over at the half ghost who had apparently decided to try and kick it with the band.

"Whoa. Who let the Dracula wannabe up on stage?" Ember asked not feeling at all threatened. Yet. The diva smirked, "I didn't know Halloween came early this year."

"I take it you don't own a mirror?" The billionaire asked with a smirk of his own not missing a beat.

The smirk on Ember's face vanished. "What do you know grandpa? ! This is the style now!" A devilish smile played across her lips. "Or at least it will be after tonight, when I have this entire town under my control and the whole world is screaming MY NAME!" She swiped her pick across the strings of her electric guitar sending a powerful ray of sound waves directly at Vlad.

The halfa dodged them with some effort but his smile didn't falter. "Oh, I was hoping you'd say something like that." Vlad's black gloved hands glowed a purplish pinkish color. "But I'm afraid it won't be you who gains control of this town or the rest of the world."

Then, just as he was about to strike! Danny beat him to it…

Green ectoplasm came out of nowhere knocking the flaming headed ghost girl right into Vlad.

"Get off me you infuriating girl!" Vlad shouted trying to push her guitar out of his face. Ember quickly complied with an insult of her own as Danny landed on the stage.

"Now, where were we Plasmius?" The ghost boy asked his neon green eyes glowing brighter as he glared.

"Oh great, there's two of em." Ember rolled her eyes.

"Not right now Daniel." Vlad growled threateningly.

"Yeah, like I'm going to listen to you." The teen scoffed as he threw another blast at the man attacking him with all his might.

Vlad's patience snapped right in two, (yeah, he's not very patient) and began fighting with the teen just as furiously.

The pop star merely smiled at the sight. The crowd loved all the fighting and was still chanting her name. Unfortunately she could hear police sirens in the distance which meant the party would soon be over.

Not even caring who saw her, the ghostly singer flew away from her stage and her adoring fans.

"She's getting away!" Vlad shouted in surprise when he noticed Ember flying toward the roof tops. Forgetting his petty fight with the ghost boy Vlad took off after her.

"Hey wait!" Danny shouted after him, flying to catch up. "I wasn't finished insulting you!" (Probably about to call him a fruitloop or tell him to get a cat. Danny's predictable like that)

The two halfas followed the dead diva (Oh yeah) to the roof top of some tall building until Vlad, thinking on his feet, created a duplicate of himself cutting off her path.

Turning around to face the real Plasmius and Phantom who had caught up to them she sighed in annoyance. "You two just don't know when to give up do you?"

"I'm afraid not."

"No way!"

Ember smirked as an evil idea popped into her flaming head. "Yeah, I guess that's because you're both equally stubborn, am I right?"

Danny and Vlad took a moment to exchange confused glances at the singer's sudden change in attitude.

"Yes," Vlad answered carefully allowing his duplicate to fade into nothing. "I suppose we are. So it might be best for you to give up now." He grinned revealing his fangs.

"Yeah, I bet you two are a lot alike." Ember continued ignoring Vlad's comment.

"What? ! No we aren't!" Danny protested. "I'm nothing like this fruitloop!" (What'd I tell ya?) He pointed at the more experienced halfa.

Vlad rolled his eyes at the childish nickname not letting it get to him just yet.

Ember laughed lightly. "Sure you're not baby-pop. But I'm sure you see it don't you?" She turned her gaze to Vlad. "That you two have more in common than just your ghost powers."

Vlad let out a sigh. "Yes, as a matter of fact I do." The man admitted folding his arms across his chest. "However the boy's head is as thick as a brick and so he refuses to admit that he sees it too."

"Shut up! I'm not thick headed!" Danny argued.

Ember's smirk widened, her plan already working. "But isn't being thick headed the same as being stubborn baby-pop?"

Danny blinked. What? She was taking VLAD'S SIDE? !

Vlad smirked. "You'll have to excuse him, he's not all that bright either. Probably the one thing we don't have in common."

Danny's face turned red. "Yeah, well I'd rather be dim than some lonely, single, 40 year old guy! Who needs a cat!" The boy shouted.

Vlad flinched at every single jab and could feel his left eye twitch when the boy brought up the cat thing again.

"Ooooooo." Ember said with a laugh. "You just got burned by some skinny teenage brat! You gonna let him get away with that Dracula?"

Before Danny could blink a harsh ecto beam connected with his chest and the two halfas were fighting once more. Ember watched them with a satisfied grin. As long as they were busy keeping each other distracted her concert would go on without a hitch. But how to make sure they stayed together and kept each other preoccupied…

Ember smiled from ear to ear.

"Well boys it's been fun," She said getting their attention. "But I've gotta get ready for tonight when I rock my world, and when I say my world, I really mean MY WORLD! But just so you two won't get lonely while I'm gone," Ember trailed off as she turned the dial on her guitar setting it to the image of a heart. "I need to keep you two distracted for the next few hours and nothing is more distracting to teenagers than hormones," she smirked at Danny. "And as for you," she said smiling at Vlad. "You can forget the whole cat thing, you're about to get all the love and attention you need. Now, how bout a love song!" Ember struck the strings on her guitar sending pink sound waves flying straight toward the two halfas.

Vlad, again thinking on his feet, lifted up his cape quickly transporting himself far enough away so that the blast wouldn't hit him. Danny, however, wasn't so lucky…

Unable to transport like the older halfa Danny could only manage a sharp intake of breath before some of the sound waves passed through him, while the others hit him… (Poor Danny) The ghost boy blacked out from the pain.

In the blink of an eye Vlad appeared out of thin air. "What in the world was that? !" The older halfa asked as black rings formed at his waist changing him back to Vlad Masters.

"uhhh…" was the only reply he got as Danny Fenton was now lying a good 10 feet away face down on the ground.

"Daniel!" The word rushed past his lips before he had time to stop himself as he ran toward the bruised boy. "Daniel are you alright?" Vlad asked kneeling down and placing a hand on the boy's shoulder shaking him lightly.

Sure he had fought with the teen and some of the boy's bruises may have been from him. But seeing Danny lying there, hurt and defenseless brought out that unmistakable feeling Vlad only seemed to get when he was with the boy.

Guilt. And maybe even a little sympathy.

Danny moaned a little as he started to sit up placing both hands on his pounding head.

"Daniel, are you ok?" Vlad repeated.

"Yeah, I'm o-" Danny's reply was cut short with a small gasp as he realized who he was talking to.

Vlad Masters. Tall, suave, handsome, billionaire tycoon, (and the only other halfa in existence), Vlad Masters. Danny suddenly felt embarrassed and excited at the same time, his heart beating a little faster.

"Daniel?" The man questioned, a puzzled look on his face. "What is it?"

"What's what?" The teen answered, a shy smile tugging at his lips. The older hybrid blinked in confusion as the boy stared at him with a dreamy look on his face. His baby blue eyes half lidded, his cheeks slightly pink.

"I,- I," Vlad stuttered trying to collect his thoughts as the teen batted his eyes at him. "I mean do you feel alright? The blast from that girl's guitar hit you pretty hard." The man observed by the teen's battered appearance.

"I feel fine." Danny said instantly scooting a bit closer to the man. "Especially since you're here." He added quietly, his cheeks turning pink.

Vlad's eyes widened, sure that his ears were playing a cruel trick on him. He just couldn't believe it! Was this really the same boy who only a minute ago was insulting, mocking, and fighting against him tooth and nail? !

The dreamy look on Danny's face vanished for a moment, a slightly worried look taking its place. "Vlad, are you sure you're alright? You look kinda pale." The teen asked and Vlad could hear the genuine concern in Danny's voice just as clearly as he could see it in his eyes.

Suddenly feeling uncomfortable and slightly afraid (though he would never admit it) Vlad stood to his feet taking a step away from the younger halfa hoping to put some distance between them.

"Yes I'm perfectly fine." Vlad answered calmly brushing off invisible dust from his expensive black suit. "It will take a lot more than some adolescent girl with terrible taste in music to defeat me." The man said confidently. "I am Vlad Masters after all dear boy." He gave a smug smirk.

"I know!" Danny agreed happily getting to his feet. "There's not a ghost in existence that could take you down! You're so powerful!"

Vlad's heart was beating ridiculously loud now. This was not the reaction he was expecting or trying to get from the boy. Where was the anger and snappy comeback? ! Why was the boy so happy to be around him all of a sudden? !

The gears grinding in Vlad's head finally clicked into place as a knowing yet sad smile played across his lips.

"You must've hit your head pretty hard, didn't you little badger?" Vlad asked as he put a hand on the young halfa's head gently ruffling the boy's soft black hair.

Danny said nothing to this and for two reasons:

He couldn't remember if he had hit his head or not and honestly didn't care.

He didn't want to say anything that would ruin this moment and make Vlad stop touching him.

Something about the way Vlad gently rubbed his head calmed him and made him feel all warm on the inside, which he was sure was showing on his cheeks.

And so the teen couldn't help the little whimper of disappointment he made when Vlad pulled his hand away leaving him wanting more.

Vlad mentally slapped himself when he realized what he was doing. When Danny didn't answer him he continued stroking the boy's ebony hair not wanting to stop so soon. It just felt so perfect in between his fingers. It was thick, but smooth as satin and glided effortlessly along the palm of his hand.

It was only when he noticed Danny's face turning red that he realized he didn't know how long he had been touching the boy making him pull back his hand as if he had touched a hot stove. He heard the boy make a tiny sound, maybe a whimper, but chose to ignore it.

And so it was probably out of frustration that Vlad found himself getting slightly angry with the ghost boy. If he had just acted like his normal stubborn self he would've slapped Vlad's hand away immediately. And if he hadn't interfered with Vlad's plan from the beginning the man would already have Ember's mind controlling music for his own!

"Well," the man drawed irritably turning his attention away from the boy. "I had better be on my way if I want to find that insolent girl before her concert tonight and she puts the entire world under her control." "Before I do that is." He added in his mind.

"What? Ember got away?" Danny questioned looking around as if he had just realized she was missing. (Which he had)

"Yes I'm afraid she did." Vlad answered still refusing to look at the boy. "Although I would've sent her fleeing back to the ghost zone in no time, IF I hadn't been so distracted with another troublesome teenager." He finished glancing in Danny's direction as if his words weren't subtle enough.

"Oh…" Danny mumbled looking at his feet.

Vlad ignored the guilty look on the teen's face and easily changed back into his vampiric ghost form. Floating up into the air ready to begin his search Plasmius began to fly away until-

"Wait!" *Slam, Thud*

"Ah!" The ghost boy, aka Danny Phantom, flew directly into Vlad wrapping his thin arms around the vampire's, uh, I mean, older halfa's waist. "Sugar cookies Daniel! What's gotten into you? !" Vlad questioned trying to pry the teenager off him but to no avail.

"Let me help you!" Danny blurted out still holding onto the man as if his life depended on it.

"Help me?" The more experienced halfa grumbled successfully managing to get out of the smaller halfa's hold. "Why would you want to help me?" Vlad asked out of honest curiosity and surprise until he folded his strong arms across his chest. "And what makes you think I need your help, hmm?" He asked raising one elegant eyebrow.

"Well, because, because…" Danny struggled to find an answer. "Because I fight ghosts all the time! And I always get them back into the ghost zone so, so… So I could totally help you!" The ghost boy said putting his hands on his hips, puffing out his chest confidently.

Vlad couldn't help the small smirk on his face as he listened to Danny's reasoning and watched the rather petite boy puff out his small chest in a heroic pose.

"Well, for as much as I would enjoy your help Daniel," the older halfa began as Danny's face lit up with hope. "I'm afraid I can't accept it without you telling me the real reason you want to help me." The man finished and Danny felt his heart drop.

"What do you mean? Wasn't my reason good enough?" The teen asked pleadingly.

"Oh please Daniel," Vlad drawed rolling his eyes. "Do you really believe I'd fall for such an obvious act? That you could put on that puppy dog face and I'd let my guard down so you could figure out my plans?"

"But I'm not acting!" The boy whined giving a sad little pout.

"Ah, and there's that puppy dog face again." Vlad mocked with a fanged grin. "Do you think me a fool, boy?" The vampire, ARG! I mean ghost, turned his back to the teen and said, "And if you're even a fraction smarter than your buffoon of a father you'll stay out of my way."

Plasmius flew away quickly and was soon out of sight leaving a heart broken Phantom behind. Danny floated there staring in the direction the man had left unsure what to do. He felt so lost without the other halfa.

Turning away with a sigh Danny gave one last longing look where the man had disappeared.

"Vlad…"

Awwww, poor Danny! All he really wanted was a hug! Review if you liked it! Or if you didn't… Tell me what you thought! Bye bye!
