I'm so beat today! School's OK though.

Summary: Danny Phantom is the failure of the family and gets pushed around by his two older, handsome brothers, Kanata and Ikuto. Danny's step-father, Claude Phantom, is not someone who Danny really gets along with.

But from one night at a small ball for the prince, Luca, Danny finds himself swept away by the freedom and luxury of the palace and gets lost, only to bump into the prince himself! Is this a sign of things to come?

WARNING: May contain abuse, cursing, and hard labor.

Disclaimer: I do not own Claude, Danny, Kanata, Luca or Ikuto. (These are the shows and or anime they're from: Shugo chara, Black butler, Uragiri wa boku, Danny Phantom show)


A loud knock came to the door of Danny Phantom's attic-like room that he had kept occupied. The young boy, who looked to be only fourteen years old, was still sleeping in his warm bed under the warm covers. He wanted nothing more than to stay under his bed sheets for at least one full day instead of doing chores for the rest of his pathetic life.

But this was the real world and in the real world, his two older step-brothers ruled his life. As dull as he sounded to be getting picked on at the age of fourteen, Danny did not bicker with them. He did the chores like he would button up his shirt or jacket which was not so likely to receive as birthday gifts from three mean people who hated you and wanted your fortune.

Danny's mother had gotten ill just last fall and her bank was loaded with tons of gold coins as well as silver and some trinkets that were never to be made anywhere else. She was a royal goldmine that any man would have wanted for a wife. And that was how she met Claude Phantom; a man who looked as dashing as a prince from an Arab palace. He came and swept his mother off her feet and left her to die in the bed with an illness that the doctors supposedly couldn't cure her of. Now Danny was alone with nothing but pictures of his mother and a cruel step-father who reminded him each day about his mother's death. Saying it was 'his fault'.

But memories aside, Danny had a dream that he would one day own his own palace and live without worry or care for his evil family. But as a dream, it would always be a dream for Danny for he knew as long as he lived under Claude's roof; he knew he wouldn't be able to live life freely.

Especially not with their cat, Sebastian who wandered around the house, urinating every spot and caused Danny a big amount of trouble of cleaning it up afterward. Danny hated Sebastian and knew the cat in turn hated him.

Getting out of bed and putting on his old, worn down slippers that he had gotten for his last birthday, Danny took a small glance out the windows whose shutters were breaking down from him opening them all the time just to dust out his room. A loud cheer in the streets got Danny's interest. It was the prince's carriage with the two royal, white horses up front, pulling it along the cobble stoned street.

Danny rested his chin on his arms and let out a sigh. He began fantasizing about being in the coach in the prince's stead. But seeing the young man through the small triangular shaped window, Danny began admitting to himself that prince Luca was indeed a handsome young fellow who seemed more fitting for such a title.
