~Chapter One~

Danny sighed as he stared up at Fenton Works' massive sign.

'Time to face the music, I guess.' He had been dreading this moment for the past three hours, ever since he'd been kicked out of school on a one-week suspension for fighting. It wasn't even a fight! Dash punching and him moving out of the way is no fighting.

Despite that, however, Principle Ishiyama had deemed it bad enough for the suspension. A compiled punishment, it seemed, since Dash couldn't be punished. No, he had a football game coming, so of course Danny would catch the fallout.

'This is just so not fair!' Danny thought, How could the one time he tried to stand up for himself it would backfire like this?

Taking a deep breath Danny climbed up the stairs to the door and soon taking the doorknob, 'Now or never' he thought as he opened the door.

"Mom, Dad?" He said in a nervous voice, "I know what you're probably-" But he cut off when he spotted the last person he wanted to see sitting comfortably on the couch.

"Well hello, Daniel! I did not expect to see you home so soon."

Danny stopped dead in his tracks. Vlad was sipping some tea while he played

"Vlad? What the heck are you doing here?" He shouted, fighting to keep his eyes blue instead of the ghostly green his emotions wanted them to be.

Vlad's smirk grew with mischief, "What? Am I not allowed to visit my favorite nephew?"

"We aren't even related!" Danny sputtered indignantly.

"Daniel James Fenton." Maddie's stern voice rang through the hall, interrupting the light banter between hybrids, and making the youngest in the room cringe at the tone. It wasn't just any tone, it was the Mother tone the kind of tone that told any young teen to run to your room and hide under your bed.

"Danny, what is this about you getting into a fight?" Maddie said with her hands on her hips, sending a slight glare down at Danny.

"Um- well i-it sort of I-I-I mean, well, it wasn't even my fault!" Danny suddenly said, "Dash was mad! And he decided to take it out on me! I was just-"

"Danny you can't go blaming others for what happened!" Jack suddenly said, in a voice that was not what you would expect to come from him, and through all this, Vlad watched as Daniel tried to fight for his innocents.

"But it wasn't my fault!" Danny yelled.

"That's enough! We will talk more about this later young man, now go to your room and stay there understood?" Maddie said sternly.

The boy sputtered for another moment, trying to defend himself but only digging his grave deeper. He sagged his shoulders, sighing loudly "I'll be in my room." He said dejectedly. With his head hung low, he climbed the stairs, never noticing the sympathy radiating from the billionaire with teal eyes.

Vlad watched as Daniel ambled up the stairs, of course he knew it wasn't Daniel's fault, the boy would never even throw the first punch in battle, let alone start a little fight with Dashiel Baxter.

He turned his attention back to Maddie and Jack as Maddie let out a long exhale. "Jack I just don't know what to do anymore..."

"Maddie it's okay, I'm sure he'll come around, you know he's at the age where he'll rebel at any authority, heck I was like that at his age."

"But he keeps missing curfew! He's always tired, he never listens and his grades are just so bad!" Maddie cried before leaning towards Jack, "I just want him to listen, Jack, there's something that he's not telling us."

Vlad watched the scene with a stony face before clearing his throat and saying, "Madeline, if I may, could I speak with Daniel?"

Maddie eyed the hybrid, "Why? You think you can talk some sense into him?"

Vlad gave a noncommittal shrug, "I might. I understand his plight better than most; I might be able to turn his story around."

"Then… go ahead, right now any help we can get is good."

"Yeah thanks a bunch V-Man! You're a true friend!" Jack said, giving Vlad a hearty pat to the back and nearly sending Vlad to the ground.

"Yes," Vlad said keeping his tone cool, not showing any anger towards Jack, "Anything for you, my old friend." the last part just bled with sarcasm, but as always Jack did not notice. Vlad made his way upstairs.

He sighed, straightening his shirt and hair that had been disheveled from the harsh hit to his back. "One day, Jack, one day you will pay for all the trouble you've caused."

And that statement did not just limit to his own misfortunes. That oaf was to blame for the boy's as well. He could have had a bright future ahead of him, but of course that was impossible now with the weight of the town on those small shoulders. It honestly hurt him to see the troubled thoughts running behind those ice eyes.

It hurt him to see his little badger go through such hardships, he could amount to so much more if only he would let go of these morals, but one of the things that made the boy so great, was his stubbornness. Something that usually drove Vlad up the wall, but also made him quite proud.

Reaching the door to Daniel's room which Vlad knew quite well, he stood there for a moment knowing if he knocked, it would be quite useless.

Without hesitating any longer, Vlad turned the knob and opened the door.

"Little Badger?" Vlad said gently, but what he saw pulled at his heart.

He saw Daniel sitting on his bed with uncharacteristic tears streaming down his face and the moment they're eyes locked, panic surged through Danny and quicker then Vlad could even blink, Danny had turned into his ghost form and shot out into the cloudless sky.

"Daniel!" Vlad called, but it was no use. The emotional teenager was gone, and there was nothing he could do about it for now. However, he could not very well just go downstairs and tell the boy's parents that their child flew out the window. Not only was that a preposterous idea, it could not end well for either halfa's. He thought about his story as he made his way down the stairs.

"That was fast." Maddie's voice said in a questioning way.

"He would not open the door." Vlad said regretfully.

Maddie cursed under her breathe. She hadn't realized just how much she was hoping for a solution to her problem until it was snatched away from her. "I should have figured... maybe I should go up there..."

"I think it would be best to let things cool of first, Madeline," Vlad said, "I do not want you stressing over this too much, neither of you, just make sure to not just say what is needed to say, but as well as listen, hopefully in time you will be able to get the answers you need." Of course Vlad doubted it, but he didn't like watching Maddie beat herself over something like this.

"Yeah, that sounds nice, Vlad, thank you." Maddie said giving him a small smile.

"Yeah, thanks Vladdie! What would we do without you?" Jack said giving Vlad one of his bone crushing bear hugs.

"Oh, you would most likely be six feet under with a hole in your head." Vlad said with total seriousness once he escaped the hug. There was a moment of complete silence before they both burst into a fit of laughter.

"Oh that still never gets old!" Vlad said wiping a nonexistent tear from his eye.

"Yeah! Which reminds me of the time when we were kids and we went to that haunted house!"

"Oh yes you almost did get buried alive! Oh such good memories, alas I wish I could stay and reminisce some more, but I think it would be best to head home, rotten paper work needs to be done." Vlad said already stepping out.

"Again, Madeline, just let things cool off and I am sure things will get better." With his limo outside, Vlad bid the Fenton's good-bye.

Little did he know, his life would turn on its head very soon.

~(*)~

"I can't believe they didn't believe me!" Danny shouted into the air, eyes stinging from the wind and tears as he blew off some much needed steam. "All I ever do is for them, and for what?" He threw a blast into the air, green sparks shooting off in different directions like fireworks. To make matters even worse, that frootloop had come in a saw him, all... vulnerable.

"He is never going to live that down!" Danny said his temper growing to it's peak. Just another thing to add to the list of his growing problems.

Oh how he longed for a ghost, any ghost, to come up to him so he could pound the snot out of it. Alas, after a year of ghost hunting, every spectral creature had learned the signs of when Danny was in a 'mood'. They were ghosts, they did not want to die again.

Especially not painfully, and as wrathful, as Phantom promised.

"BEWARE! For I Am the box ghost!"

Well... except for one...

"Thank you.." Danny breathed as he turned towards the Box Ghost, ecto-energy already charged up in his hands.

"Uh oh." Boxy could not have chosen a worse time to appear.
