Everything is Vlad Pov here, so we get behind the Master's mind in this chapter. Here is were things change. Things are battles out, and things are complicated. Enjoy!

I do not own Danny, Vlad, and the Packers... Vlad will never ever own the Packers : )

Vlad 'Through and Through'

Danny had stayed with us and was busy cleaning up Jack's ecto mess. We had convinced the school board that Danny was a distant relative of Jacks (which worked out because he resembled Jack so much) and had received an id card to go in and out of the school. He had chosen Jack's last name because he couldn't reveal his real name. Amazingly, the name Danny Fenton went so well it almost scared me.

Jack had gotten Danny a white lab coat that went well with him. He seemed to show many familiar characteristics that had me staring at him. Young Danny had the bumbling characteristics of Jack, and the grace and poise of Maddie. He always seemed alert and relaxed at the same time. His hair falls in front of his eyes. It always came back to those hypnotizing blue eyes. I could remember them clearly from when he saved me. They were so full of alarm, it made me feel…

"Vladdie! Snap out of it! Lab time is over!" Jack yelled as he pat my back roughly. I cough and snapped out of my trance and blushed madly. I love Maddie! These days I was thinking more about our runaway than the love of my life. 'Do you still love her?' a voice in my head asked. 'Zip it!' I replied back.

I had stayed behind to clean up the lab, with Jack, Maddie and Danny gone, when I accidently pressed the power button for the portal. It spun to life and a robot with a green robot squeezed out. "Finally! I can hunt in this world!" It looked at me with cold evil eyes and grinned. "You will be my first prey." He pointed his arm and was about to fire it at me, when a green blast hit the robot on its side and threw the ghost against a bunch of test tubes.

A young looking ghost flew in front of me with his arms out ready to fire, with a serious look across his face. He had snow white hair, a futuristic looking black and white jumpsuit with a white D symbol on his chest. His eyes were an electrifying green, and he had a faint glow that all ghosts seem to have.

"You are you whelp?" The ghost asked as he got up and floated in front of us. "My sensors say you are a rare thing… one of a kind. I am…"

"Skulker, the Ghost Zones greatest hunter…" The boy said in a familiar echo filled annoyed voice.

"So you have heard of me! I will hunt you and…"

"Make me a part of your collection, but if I resist you will have my pelt by your bed or my head on your wall. Seriously dude, you need to get new threats." The ghost known as Skulker looked at him with disbelief in his face. "Have we met?"

"No, I'm Danny Phantom, hi!" Danny Phantom raised his hand and blasted the ghost's… head off? Walking up the headless figure, he picked up the head and pulled out a green blob. "I will destroy you all!" It ranted as the boy threw it through the portal and turned it off.

I was paralyzed with fear and awe. The boy was beautiful. His snowy white hair reflected the specks of dust that danced above his head. His slim muscular body was outlined on his jumpsuit, and his face seemed so full of life, for a ghost. The ghost boy looked at me like I would pull out an ecto gun and start shooting him. "Do I look that dangerous?" I asked him. He looked at me surprised, before giving me a small grin and replying, "I'm sorry." 'Whoa, serious De ja vu here...' I thought as I held out my hand to the boy. "I'm Vladimir Masters, but everyone calls me Vlad." The ghost boy took my hand and shook it (his hand was warm… but he was a ghost) and said in reply. "I'm Danny Phantom, but you can call me Phantom."

"Danny Phantom? There's another boy with the same name…" I said with caution. He looked at the floor before replying. "I'm just watching over him." Suddenly, the hallway lights turned on, and a startled Phantom went invisible before Jack barged into the room. "V-man! Are you okay! Say something!"

"I'm perfectly fine Jack!" Vlad yelled as he searched for his bewitching savior. Danny came up from behind Jack and looked at me with concern. "You didn't get hurt?" he asked.

Later at lunch, I told Jack, Maddie, and Danny about my run in with a mechanical ghost named Skulker and the ghost boy Danny Phantom.

"Now who is this ghost that you claimed to have saved you? Ghosts have no emotion in them." Maddie said as he brushed her curly hair with a blue comb.

Now I would have said something like 'you are right my dear Maddie, as you are perfect,' but for some reason, I couldn't say it. Phantom had human emotions! Anger, sadness, concern, cockiness, and grace made up the teenage ghost's identity. I looked at Danny and found myself lost in his eyes yet again.

Jack seemed to notice my staring off into space and slammed the table with his fists. "Your totally right Maddie! All ghosts are evil scum, and Jack Fenton will track down and destroy them all! I even made this ghost tracker, but it's a prototype." Danny froze and stood still as a statue as Jack pulled out the Fenton Ghost Tracker from his checkered shirt. "Bonsai!" Jack called as he turned it on and the machine whirred to life. "Ghost Tracker Prototype highly active," it said in a monotone female voice. A small green arrow started pointing in Danny's direction. "Ghost located. Thank you for using the Ghost Tracker." I stared at Danny and started laughing like mad. "Danny's human! Jack my friend, I think you need to fix that contraption." Jack and Maddie were looking at the malfunctioning tracker, so no one noticed Danny had disappeared.

Later in the day, Maddie had asked me to bring the fourteen-year-old boy to the mall while she and Jacked worked on the portal. I sighed and thought that Maddie just didn't want me here. I was thinking less and less about here and it started to annoy me. I had my undying love devoted to her, but during the last two days, my attention seemed to be drawn to the little badger. 'Little Badger…' I thought as the nickname sat on my tongue. What's wrong with me?

As we got towards the mall, Danny and I had head toward the arcade. I beat him in many games, proving he was pretty bad at these types of things. He had yelled 'why can't I play outdated games correctly' while I was facing him off in Box Rumble. I had no idea what he was talking about (these games are the latest technology out there), but I had fun non-the less. I had never had a fun outing with Jack and Maddie. We hanged out after school, but that was it. I had decided to buy Danny a black scarf from one of my favorite stores. The threads were black and white with tuffs of blue around it. I smiled a warm smile as he wrapped it around his neck.

After stopping at a food stall, I learned a lot about Danny. He had two very loyal and trustworthy friends. One of them was a Goth girl who loved nature and was an ultra-recycled-vegetarian (there were a lot of those around here these days. His other friend was a technology loving geek who wore a red barrette and always hit on girls. He had a school bully (I had many) and his grades were around C's and D's. He told me about his family. They had hunted ghosts, and many of their inventions got them in trouble (sounded like Jack at one point). His sister was a red head know it all that wanted to be a physiatrist (ah, a smart mind, that would be great for a change). Danny told me about his dream to work in NASA and go to outer space, and deep down I wished that I could one day grant him that wish with all my power.

'That's not normal,' I thought as I watched Danny take a bite of his burger. 'You want him,' the voice told me.

"So, tell me about yourself Vlad." Danny said as he continued on to his soda. I told him a lot about myself that you wouldn't tell a random stranger. I revealed my life long dream to own the Packers ('that will never happen' Danny thought), I wanted to try and become the next Dairy King, and become rich through my own power. Danny looked at me weirdly, but resumed his burger after I told his through my knowledge in college. I was about to tell him about my dream to marry Maddie, when I suddenly stopped and stared at the teen.

'You don't love her anymore?' The voice asked me. 'I want her… I wanted her… but I'm not,' I argued with myself. 'You find him beautiful. His hair, his skin, his life, his eyes, you want all of him now that you know about him. He…' 'Shut up! I'm not like that! I'm not!' I yelled mentally as the thought kept creeping into my head.

'You can't blame me. You are the one that fell in love with him.'

Cliffy! Oh no! Vlad found his feelings! He is ignoring them! How will this 'date' end? The scarf is actually important. I can't wait to write about Danny's point of view next! I wont be able to post as soon as I want too, but maybe... we'll see. Until then:
