Vlad woke up in cold sweat. Panting heavily, he ran into his marble bathroom to throw cold water down his face.

"I love Maddie… Maddie… I'm straight… I have always been straight! What could have happened? Who was that boy?" Vlad took deep breaths and sank to the floor with defeat.

'You talk to yourself a lot. You know that, right?' Voice asked with a hint of humor.

Vlad ignored him and decided to head back to bed with a somber expression. Before he made it to bed, he glanced at the glowing cylinder by his bedside table. Walking over to it, Vlad made the decision to open the glowing container. What he found inside made him pale then turn red. In the container, sitting on a small red pillow, was the ring from his dream. It glinted at him brightly, making the gem resemble Daniel's angry Phantom eyes.

Slipping it on, Vlad suddenly had a vision flash before him. It was young Daniel sitting with him, Jack, and Maddie at the college tables.

'What is Daniel doing in my college days?' He thought.

Then the answer hit him like a freight train (without intangibility).

"Clockwork!"

Vlad transformed, forgetting it was late at night. Flying out of his own home, Vlad headed for Daniels house.

"I must get to the bottom of this once and for all!" Vlad shouted at no one.

'Now here is some progress…' Voice commented.

Danny slept in bed with a peaceful look on his face, until his ghost sense went off. Waking from the cold, Danny sighed and went ghost before flying out of his room. He expected the Box Ghost, Skulker, or some other ghost who didn't have anything else to do at night. What surprised him was Vlad Plasmius with a temper problem.

"What do you want Plasmius?" Danny said in a warning tone before pulling into his battle stance.

Vlad sighed and grabbed the boy by his wrist. Danny was too shocked to react, so Vlad teleported both of them to a remote location. He teleported with Danny at hand to a location he had found recently. It was a giant hill with a simple tree. It was located away from all the noise of the city, so Vlad could talk to him freely. (AN: Phantom Planet never happened after one year, and yes, this is the hill were Danny proposed to Sam at the end of PP)

"What are you doing?" Danny asked wearily.

Vlad transformed into his human form (he changed to his formal suit before leaving… no pajama wearing billionaire…) and sat down by the tree Indian style to look up at the sky. Danny transformed back and sat next to him, still giving him a, angry look.

"Daniel, I must know… did you go back in time last year when I poisoned your friends with my own illness?"

Danny looked anywhere but at Vlad with a guilty expression. "Yeah, but that's none of your business…"

Vlad grabbed Danny's shoulders and made him face him eye to eye. "You must have done something in the past, because I saw you… little badger."

Danny started to laugh a little, finally meeting his eyes. "Clockwork told me that he stopped me before I could fix the past… and you still call me that?"

Vlad was silent… those words rang in his head… he had heard them in his dream, 'It's impossible,' Vlad thought with anger.

Looking at Daniel, he tried to picture Maddie in the young boy like he always had. But as he looked at him now in the starlight, his black ruffled hair falling in front of his face, and his blue eyes gleaming with confusion. Those eyes were hypnotizing. He didn't see Maddie's soft violet eyes, he saw only Daniels. Without thinking, Vlad brought his right hand from his shoulder and placed it on his face. Danny didn't pull away like Vlad expected him to. "Um… Vlad…" Almost like Vlad wasn't in control, he pulled Danny into a hug. Danny didn't try to pull away, he only placed his arms tentatively around the man.

"Daniel, I'm confused… I find my past broken in a certain place. Please tell me you did something or I think I'll go mad."

"Your already mad Vlad." Danny replied.

For the next hour, they sat there and talked normally for the first time. For Danny, this was his attempt to try and help Vlad.

"… and Tucker tried to eat the entire burger before Sam could find it, and he ended up eating my learners permit." he said as he put on a sad expression from the memory.

Vlad made a soft chuckle as he heard one of the funniest stories that Daniel was providing.

'How about you ask him about himself? Don't you want to know something?' Voice asked, breaking Vlad's laugh short. He thought for a minute, and asked. "Now Daniel, you do talk about you friends and family too much. Is there something you enjoy besides ghost hunting?"

Danny looked up at the sky, wishing he could see the stars and moon better. "I want to be an astronaut and explore the stars."

Vlad felt his heart speed up as he remembered the mystery figure in his dream. Suddenly, a great idea came up. 'Maybe if I bring Daniel to that place, he'll slip up about messing with my past.'

'Wrong... but close,' Voice said with a little humor.

Grabbing Daniel's arm again with out warning, Vlad teleported them to the old observatory.

Vlad Pov

When I brought Daniel to the old abandoned observatory, I had to remember were I was in the dream. It turned out to be the observing deck at the top of the building.

Upon arriving there, we both noticed the sky was clearer than day. Daniel broke from my grasp and looked up at the sky with excitement. "It's amazing!" Daniel exclaimed as he ran around the room to look at the charts and maps.

I had a serious de-sa-vu moment, but I ignored the weird feeling as I watched Daniel.

After he had explored the whole room, he ran back to me and asked a question I was expecting sooner or later. "Why did you bring me here? Are you trying to get me to join you again?"

"No I am not. Honestly Daniel, do you always think I'm scheming to ruin your life?"

Daniel rolled his eyes at me. "You could of fooled me..."

His eyes slowly moved down as he noticed a small flash of green. His eyes gazed at the ring I had placed on my finger before I had left to confront Daniel. I now looked back and asked myself why I put it on. Shocked, Daniel grabbed my hand and looked at it with shock.

"Did you get married?" he asked with shock blanketing his features.

I looked down at the ring, then back at Daniel. It had hints of baby blue among the swirl of green that radiated from the stone. I viewed Daniel without giving him an answer.

He looked stunning. I had known the boy ever since he ruined my first attempt to kill his father. He had a fire in his eyes at the time. I never realized that until now. After obsessing with Maddie and Jack for so long, I hadn't even looked at Daniel the way I seemed to be doing now. The boy stared at me, his light blue pajamas flowing over his slender arms and legs. His hair reflected the stars above us like diamonds, and his eyes were as blue as the sky on a cloudless day.

Taking in a breath, I decided to do something so stupid, that it would make me have nightmares for a long time. I grabbed the boy by the waist and dragged him closer.

'Mine...' Voice thought... or was it my thought.

Pulling the shocked boy closer, I did the one thing I had only wanted to do with Maddie since the accident. I brought our lips together in a forbidden kiss.

Danny Pov

'Vlad! He's kissing me! Get away!' I thought as the insane billionaire locked our lips together.

Was he being delusional for not having a girlfriend or my mom for so long? Why I didn't try to fight seriously I couldn't explain, but I realized that this was different. It was one of those moments in movies when fireworks go off in your head. It felt nothing like kissing Sam or Valerie. Fate... or whatever it's called, must hate me. He pulled away and looked at me with his grey eyes. It had no crazy, evil or cold sneaky glare in his eyes. They were full of confusion and... love? I didn't understand it.

I wanted to run away and never look back, but, as if reading my mind, he tightened his grip on me.

"I will not let you leave me again, little badger," Vlad said in a voice I couldn't place.

Again? Had I run away before? Vlad seemed confused by his words as well. Maybe he needed some sleep.

Before I could phase out of his hands, Vlad brought me into a deeper kiss, his hands lightly stroking my hair in a tender way. I couldn't stand it! Did he get hypnotized into thinking I was mom? I tried to open my mouth to protest him, but that only made things worse as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. It felt hot, wet, and weird to have someone else's tongue invading my mouth. I tried to use my own to push it away, but he only tangled with my own, making it seem like I was kissing him back. I started to close my eyes as I felt his passion. This wasn't right, but I was starting to feel hot as he devoured my mouth.

His body emitted a powerful heat as we fell backwards and onto... his bed? Vlad had teleported them both back to his mansion.

I panicked slightly as I tried to push him away. He seemed drunk... I seemed drunk as well. As he broke the kiss, Vlad stroked my hair and whispered, "I won't lose you again... my little badger..."

Standard pov

Danny laid there perplexed and aroused; not the best feeling ever. "Again? Again? What do you mean again?" Danny shivered as Vlad caressed his face.

"Please Daniel…" he looked on the verge of tears. "…please remember." His grey eyes pleaded as Danny's eyes grew blank and confused and Danny saw Vlad he thought he'd never see; Vlad started crying. As the millionaire bachelor started to weep, a single tear filled with love and passion struck Danny's bare chest, right on his heart. Suddenly, all the memories of him and Vlad kissing, touching, caressing and loving came to him. The teen laid there dazed; he sat up, grabbed both of Vlad's hands that were covering his weeping face, stared the grey haired man in his silvery pools called eyes and kissed him. It felt more incredible than kissing any girl he's ever dated; instead of soft surrendering lips, Vlad's were tender, but carried a roughness to them and wouldn't allow the young halfa's tongue entry into his mouth. His lips were hard yet tender, just like the personality of the man before him. Danny's lips were still young and still inexperienced to kisses and age so his were arousingly smooth, so arousing in fact, when Danny welcomed Vlad's thick cool tongue in his mouth Vlad felt blood flow and pressure build in an area he didn't want to build and hoped Daniel wouldn't see. The powers that maybe were not on his side however. Daniel trembled a little in nervousness, surprise and want.

"It's…bigger than I remembered." He murmured as he felt Vlad's hard member poking his thigh through Vlad's pants. Vlad chuckled and stared at Danny with hungry eyes like a lion about to pounce on a soft, venerable gazelle.

"Care to have a look? You can touch if you wish." He said in a commanding yet begging voice that stirred a warmth in Daniel that made him shiver. Vlad took that as a 'yes' and helped the poor teen by first removing his shirt and unbuckling his belt. Danny swiftly –out of instinct- removed the belt and unbuttoned and pulled down Vlad's pants so he was only wearing his boxers his eyes bulged at the tall bit of hard flesh pushing the fabric. "a lot bigger than I remember." He murmured and continued to strip the desire of his heart and removed the boxers. Danny didn't know if it was disgust, nervousness, awe, curiosity or a mix of all of the feelings that made him stare at the elders' hard, erected, throbbing member, but he stared at it for a long while so that Vlad's body flushed red. Danny smirked and began stroking the other man's erection. Vlad moaned and leaned back from where he was sitting as Danny gently stroked his member.

"More…Danny...mmm." He pleaded as Danny stroked his balls. Danny hesitated for a moment, then slowly put his mouth over the man's member and started slowly sucking it and bobbing his head up and down the shaft, inching closer to the base slowly so he doesn't gag. He paused when he put half of Vlad's long, hard, warm member in his mouth and started to lick it. Vlad gasped and moaned, holding the sheets. "Danny…I'm about to come." Danny uttered a sound sounding like 'I know' and sucked as hard as he could and Vlad came in his mouth as Danny swallowed all of Vlad's surprisingly large amount of his essence. Danny slowly rose, staring in Vlad's eyes. Vlad chuckled a bit. "Got milk, my badger?" Danny blushed and wiped the excess semen from his lips and both men embraced in a kiss, but before Vlad could remove himself to return the favor a call of "Time Out!" called and they lay frozen as a ghost… stood? Floated? Whatever. Watching the two, shaking his head.

"This is bad." The ghost murmured. "I have to try something else before this gets out of hand."

Vlad woke up in cold sweat. Panting heavily, he ran into his marble bathroom to throw cold water down his face.

"Vlad…what has gotten into you…?"
