CHAPTER 4
Danny stood before Tucker and Sam. They hudled around in his room. Danny frowned, "Alright guys, you take care of these guys at your place, kay? I'll be back from my untrusting partenatly guided drug test in a few hours."
"Danny! Come downstairs! We don't want to be late, now do we?" Maddie jungled her car keys.
Danny frowned, "Of course we don't. . ." He glanced at Sam and Tucker, " If something goes wrong there, I'll call you somehow, but if all's fine, I'll come by your houses."
Sam nodded and scooped up Ember and Technus, "Don't worry, Danny, my folks are out of town today, nobody but Granny will be home."
Tuck joined in, "Yeah, my parents are having 'quality time, ' so I'll be fine, too."
Danny nodded and knelt down, "You guys be good, okay?"
The little ones nodded. Vlady took his thumb out of his mouth for a brief moment, "You come back, wight?"
Danny nodded, "Yeah, few hours."
Vlad outstretched his arms towards Danny. Danny paused,
"What's he doing?"
Sam laughed, "He wants a hug, silly."
Danny wore a brimming smile as he hugged his arch enemy goodbye. He pulled back and turned towards the door, " See you guys later." And with that, he shut the door.
Tucker and Sam glanced at each other, then at the children they were left with. Sam shrugged, "I guess we better get going, wanna come to my place a while? I'm sure I have some old tapes to keep them entertained with."
Tucker nodded, "Yeah, sounds cool." Tucker lifted up two of the toddlers, "Danny said there was a stroller in the lab, I'll go get it, just meet me down stairs.
Sam nodded.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two walked through Amity Park, each holding two children and one child in the stroller. The two did thier best to hide the toddler's faces, but covering everything was quite the challenge. . .
An elderly woman aproached the two, "Aw, you have children with you?"
Tucker glanced sideways nervously at Sam, "Uh. . .yeah. . ."
The woman smiled and glanced into the stroller. What she found. . .well, it obviously apaulled her, "My God! These children look horribly ill! And that one looks. . .shiney!"
Tucker rushed in front of the woman, "Yeah, they're all sick, we're taking them to the hospital right now! Hurry, Sam!"
The two teens tried to get away.
"Wait, what do they have?" She inquired.
"Tin man syndrome. Yeah, that's what little Phil here has. And the rest have. . .Nes---taliomia.. . ium."
Sam cocked an eyebrow.
The woman gasped, "That sounds horrible! Will they live?"
Tucker frowned, "No, they're gonna die."
"Oh how horrible!"
Sam shoved Tucker, "We have to go get thier funeral together, but we'll see you later, Little Philip here wants to pick out his own coffin!"
The woman gasped as the two got away safley around a street corner.
Sam placed her hands on her hips, "Die? I'M the goth here!"
Tucker shrugged and opened Sam's front door for her, "What else was I going to say?"
Sam shrugged, "Well, I don't know. . .something like. . .LIVE!"
He shrugged, "Nah."
"No to what?" An elderly woman's voice came.
" That guys are better than girls." Sam lied to her Grandmother.
With that the two teens shuffled downstairs to the movie room. Sam flipped through an array of G-rated films, "Man, I don't know what I should put on. . .wait, here's one."
"Glow Friends?" Tucker spat, "What the heck is 'Glow Friends?"
Sam shrugged, "Well, it sounds creepy, deranged and odd, like anything else they might watch."
Tucker nodded, "Well you can't arugh with that logic!"
The two friends shoved the old tape in and set the toddlers before the screen, "You guys stay here, kay?"
They looked up as though they were little angels.
Tucker and Sam glanced at one another. sam siged, "Fridge raid?"
Tucker brimmed, "To the fridge!"

Danny sat on the cold seat in the testing clinic. He folded his arms and looked away from his parents. Mister and Misses Fenton looked towards the doctor for direction. Dr. Tobious Carter nodded, "Well, Danny, this should be over soon. We just need to have you parents leave for a moment."
Danny glared, "Why?"
The doctor flipped through a few papers, "Because it's a bit a privacy for the next tests we must preform." He pulled out a needle.
Danny flinched as the cold metal trust into the vains of his arm. The blood pulled into the item and out of his body, "I don't get it, why don't you believe me?! You're all gonna feel bad when these tests come back negative. . ." danny jutted out his bottom lip.
Maddie stood up, "I'm sorry, sweetie, we just want to be assured."
Danny frowned, "My word should be your assurance."
Dr. Carter injected the blood sample into several test tubes, "These will be done shortly. As for now, please come back with me and we'll continue the remaining tests." the man paused, "But if it would make you all felt better, Mr. Fenton can come back with us."
Danny sat up, suddenly alert. He swallowed hard and narrowed his eyes at his parents and the doctor.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Sam and Tucker set blankets over the toddlers, setting them down for thier naps. By this time, Sam had managed to pursuade her Granmother into beliveing the babies were dressed up for fun, and that she was baby sitting them for some friends' parents.
Sam and Tucker glanced at the door, where a knock just came. Sam rushed to open it, "Hey Danny, how'd it go?"
A weary glare grew on Danny's face, with some sort of sarcasm bubbling under it, "I'm pregnant."
Sam put her hands on her hips, "What?!"
Danny put up a hand, "And I have cancer. And I'm on crack, and I'm on pot. And I smoke and drink. Oh yeah, I have the Black Plague. And Bird flue. . .oh, and a hint of Mad Cow disease. Oh wait, I also have Small Pox."
Tucker siged, "What's going on?"
Danny flopped on Sam's couch, "My ghost genes must've screwed up the tests or something. I came up positive on all those things. at least my parents didn't belive the test results."
Sam smiled, "So they trust you?"
Danny shook his head, "Not really, I think they want me retested, but I refuse."
Sam put and arm around her now-not-sweaty friend, "Come on, Danny, we better get these guys to you place before my foks get home. they all agreed and headed to the Fentons.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The three lounged about Danny's room, toddler's playing amazingly peacfully with various models and shiney objects. Then the phone rang.
Danny rolled over on his bed, accidently kicking Sam as he did so, and picked it up, "Hello?"
"Hey, is this the Fenton house hold?" A country-edged female voice came.
"Yeah, can I help you?" Danny asked.
"God, I hope so. I've been going through Vlad's phone book trying to find any of his friends, hoping they'd know where he's at. Do you by chance know?"
"Wait, Vlad? Who are you?" Danny sat up.
"Oh, please excuse my manners, Vlady dissapearing has got me all jumbled up. My name's Mavis, I'm Vlad's girlfriend."
"HE has a girlfriend?! Finnally?! when did this happen?" Danny sputtered.
"About six or so months ago, he so sweet, I just don't think he'd get up and leave. . .expesially if I live in his house with him. . ."
"Live in his house? You live with him? And not by force?!" Danny blotted out visions of Vlad tying someone up like he had Dannielle, his clone.
"Of course I do silly, I love him. But anyways, have you seen him? Oh! You must be Danny! He talks so possitivley about you all the time!" She said.
Danny frowned, how could any one love that man? or live with him. . . "Yeah, that's me. As for where he's at, he told me he'd be gone on a---trip for 2 or so weeks."
Mavis gasped, "You mean he just left me here? Without telling me? I can't belive he'd do this!!!! I thought he cared! He lied? If you find him, you tell him we're through!" And with that, the phone slammed.
Danny looked at the phone in a jumble of confusion.
Sam perked up, "Who was that?"
Danny looked down at baby Vlad, "his worse nightmare." He put the toddler on his lap, "Sorry V-man, didn't mean to break you and you girl up. Looks like you'll need a cat again."
Baby Vlad cocked his head to one side, "Girlfriend?"
Danny set him down, "Never mind, I'll tell you. . .when you're older? Guess that's the only choice I have. . ."
-- -- -- -- -- --- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
The next few days went on without much trouble. The toddlers stayed within the ability of caring for, and with Jazz's help, things went pretty smoothly. Danny awoke the next saturday morning, seven days or so after the inncodent in Nasty Burger. Now the toddlers were children about 5, and full of young energy. Danny laid on his back, bound and determined to sleep in.
"Hey Danny! Wanna go out side and play? Do ya do ya do ya?" Vladimir sat besides Danny on his bed, bouncing.
Danny covered his head with his sheets, " Go back to bed, Vlad, I'm tired. . ."
"Aw, come on, Danny, it's sunny outside! It's awesome!" Vlady rolled back and plopped on the floor, "Wakey wakey, Nicholai!"
Technus sat up, "I'm tired, Vlady. I wanna sleep, Danny make 'im sleep."
Danny sat up, "You guys are annoying. Now I'm just barely feeling sorry for my folks." He glanced about. Only Plasmius and Technus were in his room, for Sam had agreed to take in Ember, and Tucker took in Box Ghost and Skulker.
Vlad folded his arms, "C'mon, guys, I'm hungry! I'm bored, and I'm hungry! " He jumped up and down on his make-shift foldout bed. Also known as a cot.
Danny stood up out of bed, "Fine, but you can't go out looking like that. We've gotta put some different clothes on you."
Plasmius looked down, then up, "What's wrong with this stuff I have on?" The missing front teeth in his mouth and tiny squeal in his voice made him sound like the typical young child.
Danny pulled out a box from under his bed, "Because normally people don't dress that way. But don't worry, this is my keepsake box, it has some of my old clothes in it. You two can wear them for now."
Danny helped Plasmius change into the blue-jean shorts and black tee-shirt while Technus slept a bit more.
Vlad looked down at himself as Danny combed his hair into a more normal shape. When he finished, the only odd thing about him was his eyes and skin colour.
Danny looked down at Technus, "Come on little man, we gotta get you up and together."
Technus groaned and got up. Danny smiled, "You are the typical geek, arn't you?"
Nicholas growled and Danny aided him in changing as well with a friendly laugh.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
Danny, Sam, Tucker and the kids sat at a picnic table in the park. Ember and Technus were seated by each other, causing the others to make ridicule them. danny laughed, knwoing as audults the two would despise one another greatly. All was going peacfully, no one pointed out the odditie of the children. . .except for one elderly woman who walked by and left right away to Danny's confusion.
All was peacfull till Dash came along, "Hey Fentonio, whatcha doin'? Being the mommy you are?" He socked Danny in the soulder.
"Dude! Not in front of the kids!" Danny sat up defensivley without realizing it was a stupid act of defence.
Dash looked at Vlady, "Man, you got some funny lookin' kids here, Fen-ton. These your and Sam's goth children?"
Vlady stood on his seat, "I am NOT funny looking! You ugly!"
Dash straightened his posture, "What? Me funny looking?"
Vlad nodded, "Yeah! Uuuu- - - -gly!"
"Well your momma's gonna be takin' a wailing for that one!" Dash pulled his arm back, prepared for a full feldged swing at Danny. . .till he felt a sharp paint in his posied arm.
"Aaaaowa!" Dash's knees buckled in reaction to the Pain. Plasmius released his mouth's pointy-toothed hold on Dash's arm and sat down with pride.
Dash stared at the strange group, "Your blood's gonna pay for that one, Fenton!" and with that, he spritnted off, hand over his arm.
Sam smiled widley, "Nice one, little V-Man!"
Vlady pridefull took a bite from his sandwich.
Danny didn't look so pleased, "Yeah, cool for him, but now I'm gonna get wailed on at school. . .when school starts at least."
Tucker ate a potatoe chip, "Don't worry Danny, it's be over soon, all of this."
Danny watched his foes happily mucnching away. Something about what Tucker made his gut sick, how would he be able to fight someone he cared about for even a short time like this? How could he take care of Vlad, eventurally hang out with him, and then go back to fighting him without Vlad remembering a thing? Maybe the challenges of this 'Baby Stitting Sevice' he was running were deeper than he'd originally thought. . .
But his thoughts were shattered as potatoe salad was flung at his face, followed by the giggling of children.
Danny smiled, but was sad inside; maybe he wasn't so ready for this to be over that soon. . .
