A/N : Sorry for the chapter! I didn't want to fast forward so fast into the story. The beginning to this chapter is important to the story, but the other half is just a bit of Danny's rebellious and stubborn heart. I thought it would be nice to add a little Danny and Vlad scene to the story. I hope you enjoy! Reviews, Ideas and suggestions welcomed! :)
A few months later…
Jazz gave up. She just did. The first time in her life, she gave up. And it wasn't like on a project or convincing her parents that there are no ghosts. No, she wished. She gave up on finding her brother. Her parents thought she was acting strange. She'd asked where they were on her brother's birth day. They said taking care of her because she was only two. The more she questioned them, the more she gave up.
Jazz looked everywhere. School, friends, though he didn't have many, teachers, and policemen. No one knew who the boy was! Jazz cried every night, yearning for her brother. The last thing she said to him was to get out of her room. Now, she regretted not saying how much she really loved him. He would never know, wherever he was. She'd wished that he would come in and say some fact about astronauts and cheer her up.
She knew she wouldn't see him ever again. She would never tuck him in at night because their parents were too busy with ghosts. She would never see that lopsided grin he made, when he knew he was in trouble. She would never comfort him when he had a bad dream. She would never tell him how much she loved him.
She wished she could have a do-over.

In the home of Vlad Masters, it was peaceful and quiet. Not a single mouse scurried across the kitchen floor. No maids rushing around to fulfill an order. Only a fireplace crackled every one and a while, in the study, that Vlad was using at that moment to research something.
Well, it was quiet, while it lasted. Daniel Masters and his dog, Cujo chased after each other, up and down the halls. Blasting and flying past each other. Their giggles and parks bounced around the walls and into the air vents, sending it to every room. Even the study.
Vlad looked up at the clock and sighed. It wasn't even noon and the boy was making a racket. Vlad got up from his comfy chair and went to find Danny. What made the billionaire so agitated, was the fact that he told Danny not to use his ectorays in the mansion or run down the halls like a mad man, which was what Vlad was doing.
"Daniel." Said boy, stopped in his tracks and grimaced. He got caught! Oh no, he knew his daddy wasn't happy and that he was going to be in major trouble. Danny turned and looked to the ground.
"Yes, daddy?" the boy whispered. Vlad stood several feet away with his hands behind his back, both in their ghosts forms.
"I'm not very happy, right now. Do you know why?" Vlad said, bitterness, that Danny never liked to hear, on his voice.
"I was using my powers in the house… again," Danny admitted.
Vlad took a step forward and Danny took one back, briefly, making eye contact with the older halfa. Vlad sighed, "Why do you disobey my rules, Daniel?" The little one simply shrugged. "I won't let this go unpunished, but it will not be too bad." The boy lifted his head, but still didn't make eye contact.
Vlad lead Danny down to the lab and a little surprise waited for both of them.
"Clockwork!" Danny said and rushed to greet the ghost. His mood did a whole 180.
"Hello, Daniel. I see you broke the rules again," the Time Ghost reminded him and he replied with a pout.
"Clockwork," a voice broke through the reunion, "What a surprise."
The two turned to Plasmius, who held no emotion and clasped his hands behind his back. "Plasmius, a surprise a planned for. I come here just for a visit. Knowing my little apprentice hasn't seen me in so long," Clockwork ruffled the boy's messy white hair.
Then turned back to Plasmius, all business, "Some of the ghosts agreed to teach him. Ghost Writer, Pandora, Frostbite, Dora, etc. That is, if you agree. If you do, his first class is with Dora in two weeks." He turned to Danny, who was curious as to what they were talking about, "Goodbye, Daniel. I will be back sooner than you think."
Poof! He was gone and Danny stared at the spot, where he stood, then back to Vlad. Vlad was in his thinking mood. Will he let Daniel be taught by human teachers or ghost teachers? He has two weeks to decide.
"Come, Daniel," he told Danny, who groaned. "Don't think I didn't forget," he said with a smile.
A/N : Just a little heads up, I might be adding another one of my stories, that's in my old docs. I really like baby/little Danny stories. I might add a kidnapping or a field trip story in the future. I'll write whatever you guys like to read. :D See ya Tuesday!
