Danny Fenton's Divine Comedy
Chapter Four: Absit Invidia

"I still can't believe you two knew Vlad Masters when you were in college!" Jazz sighed.

Danny rolled her eyes, pulling her hood over head. Jazz was all Vlad Masters this and Vlad Masters that ever since they left home and their parents had commented on how they'd known the man. Frankly, she was getting sick of it. Heck, she could say she was already sick of the man and Danny hadn't even met him yet.

Though, seeing his castle, Danny bit her tongue but couldn't help the grin.

"That…is one nice crib," Danny admired. "Exterior designing could be better, but then again, he's probably a Packers fanatic."

The doors opened just as she said that, revealing Vlad Masters himself. "I wouldn't call myself a fanatic. It's such a crude term. But I am a fan! Good eye, girl."

Vlad welcomed them inside and the inside was just as bit as green and gold as the outside.

"Huh, nice football," Danny looked at the signed football on display.

"It's my prize possession, signed by the star quaterback," Vlad told her proudly.

Danny grinned, "Very nice."

Her grin turned into a wince when her father tackled Vlad.

"Oh man…"

Both she and her sister sighed in exasperation. Ignoring the adults, the two sisters looked around the rest of the foyer. Jazz was happy that there were at least working toilets, but Danny was just happy to be out of Amity Park. Not to mention, Vlad seemed kind of cool and his place was great.

"I think I might get some rest here," Danny murmured to herself. She didn't know that Vlad had heard her.


"Dammit!" Danny turned ghost, and saw the three vultures she'd fought not too long ago about to attack her father. Huffing in agitation, Danny turned intangible and brought her father to the bathroom and then returned to fight those ghost vultures.

But as soon as she returned, they looked frightened and ran away.

"Now that was weird," Danny arched an eyebrow.

"Indeed, you'd expect them to fight a bit more," a voice said behind her.

Whirling around, Danny got into a fighting stance and stared in shock at the ghost. He looked a bit like a vampire.

"Woah, Count Dracula. This place is nice, we don't wanna go messing it up, you know? The owner is pretty cool too, so we shouldn't mess the guy's crib up, right? It's not a very nice thing to do."

But the vampire ghost just grinned, "No, I don't think he'd mind all that much."

And then he shot forward and landed a hit to her stomach. She gasped out, but ignored the pain.

"The name's Plasmius," and then he returned to attacking her.

She knew right away that this one had some kind of training, but she had more. The only worse part was that he was stronger, physically and powerwise, and more experienced in his ghost powers. She could win in hand to hand, but this guy just kept teleporting away or using his ghost powers in ways she'd never thought to use them.

Attempting one last hit, she gritted her teeth as he blocked it and grabbed that hand, yanking her forward and backhanding her. The blow too powerful, Danny blacked out, not knowing she'd transformed back.

"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting that. Jack's youngest is the halfa."

And so Plasmius transformed into Vlad Masters, staring down contemplatively at Danny Fenton and understanding what she had meant earlier that day.


Danny woke up, feeling sore. Groaning in pain, she blinked in confusion when she saw the room she was in. Then she remembered that she and her family were staying in Vlad Master's home.

"Oh man, what hit me?"

"Are you quite alright, Danielle?" Vlad's voice came from the door.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine. And it's just Danny. It's not short for anything," she hesitantly smiled at the older man.

"I see. Well, if you need anything, the workers are all around the castle. I'll be going now, little badger," Vlad smiled thinly and then left.

"Huh." Danny shrugged it off, wondering what was up with the 'little badger' nickname. Weird, but whatever.

The next day, Jazz had convinced Danny to wear one of her old skirts and a white dress shirt, making Danny feel a little uncomfortable at wearing tighter than normal clothing. The high school reunion started that night, and Danny didn't have time to ponder any more as she went around greeting all of her parents' old classmates. Oddly enough, she was sure some of them were flirting with her…

She shuddered at that, but decided not to think that much on it.

"Danny! Babe!" One of the guys she was talking with earlier, Guyton she thought his name was, called her over.

Rolling her eyes, she walked towards the group. "Yo, Guy."

"Ain't she a classic?" Guy laughed. One of his friends snickered and slapped his back. "Dude, lay off the beer. Don't mind him. Danny, right? I'm Roger."

Danny nodded, "Drunk, is he? I know a way for instant sobering and a handover cure."

"Oh really? Care to share?" Roger grinned, curious.

Danny grinned back, and then hit Guy at the back of his head really hard and pinched the back of his neck.

"Holy shit!" he cursed, and then blinked really fast.

"Watch your language, Guy," Roger snorted, though he was amused by Danny's instant sobering method. "So what's that hangover cure?"

Danny smirked and then leaned over to whisper it in his ear.

"And you know this how?" Guy pouted.

"I'm a genius and I experimented. I gave it…to a friend of mine," Danny faltered.

They noticed the slip, but didn't say anything.

"So, what does Jack and Maddie do nowadays? Where are they anyway?" Roger looked over the crowd.

"My parents hunt ghosts," Danny deadpanned.

"Are you serious?" Guy gaped at her.

"Yup."

"They always were interested in the supernatural," Roger shrugged.

Danny shrugged as well.

"Man, your eyes are really pretty," Guy sighed.

Danny blinked, "Is he still drunk?"

"Nope. He's always like that," Roger grimaced.

"Guy, are you flirting with me?" she asked incredulously.

"You got that right. Just flirt back."

Her jaw dropped and she stared at him. He just looked innocent and whistled.

She snorted and thought what the heck. She might as well enjoy herself as long as she was away from Amity Park. So for most of the night, she stayed with the two guys and talked about whatever and flirted with both.

Near the end of the party, when both Guy and Roger had to leave early, Danny just mingled around. She spotted her parents by this Asian woman, who looked ready to throw herself off a cliff. She quickly walked over there and intervened.

"Mom, Dad, don't you think you should go dance for a while?" Danny remarked candidly.

"That's a good idea, Danny!" Jack exclaimed. He grabbed Maddie's hand and scrambled over to the dance floor.

"Oh God, thank you!" the woman beside her said in relief. "The name's Hariet Chin. Don't call me Hari."

"Got it. I'm guessing my Dad calls you that?"

Hariet nodded.

"Well, that's my Dad for you. He can be a little overbearing," Danny shrugged. "Still love him."

"If you insist," Hariet twitched.

"So…what do you do?"

And then they began to talk about Hariet's job, leading to talk about news and etc. They exchanged contact information, before the dying party was interrupted when Danny's father flew into the air.

"Ghost!" she heard her mother scream. And then it was utter chaos.

People ran around and she got separated from Hariet. She ducked under a table and transformed, looking out for Hariet and her mother. She spotted them together, so she turned intangible and flew fast towards her father. Knocking the other ghost out of her father's body, she flew them away from the others and into the study in the next room.

And here she thought she was going to have a relatively peaceful end to her weekend, after not seeing any ghosts for quite some time –not even the vampire ghost. And now she was facing that vampire ghost.

"Plasmius," she spat out, glaring at the ghost.

"Phantom," Plasmius smirked.

Growling, Danny pushed off from the ground and flew towards him. "I owe you for the last fight."

Plasmius was still as good as ever, but Danny picked up on a thing or two from their fight. Switching to the harder hitting Muay Thai, Danny forced herself to go a bit faster to land a good kick to Plasmius' stomach, that shot him back a several feet until his back hit the stone wall harshly.

Plasmius coughed out, surprising Danny when red blood came dribbling out of his mouth. She got ready for another assault, but then Plasmius grinned.

"You win round two, Phantom. But next time…" he turned intangible and escaped before she could get him.

Scowling, Danny clenched her fists.

Nothing more happened after that, and no one could explain what had happened. Danny advised Hariet not to write about it, just knowing it was a bad idea for the Asian reporter, and then kept to herself as everyone tried to make sense of things or help clean up.

The Fenton family was ready to leave the next morning when Vlad gave gifts to all of them. Jazz got this new book she'd wanted about teen therapy, Vlad gave Maddie an expensive looking necklace, and Jack got a framed photograph from when they were in school. Danny was gifted with a new cell phone. There was a text message already in there.

If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call.

-Uncle Vlad

Sure enough, his numbers were already in her cell. Shrugging, Danny was just happy with her new phone. They all waved goodbye to Vlad, who waved cheerily from the front of his castle.

"I'll have fun teaching you, Danny Phantom," Vlad murmured. He taught her to be more aggressive. Now there were certainly more things to learn.


She was hoping for at least a week break, but she really should expect better now. When her father asked her, frantically looking around the rest of the house, to look for his anniversary gift in the basement, Danny banged her head against the wall when she saw the ghost portal opened.

"I really should've known by now," she muttered to herself.

Taking the Spectre Speeder, Danny grumbled to herself as she activated it and drove it through the portal. Turning on the real world item locator, Danny drove around until it led her to a prison-like building.

"Damn…damn, damn, damn!"

She ignored the urge to bang her head against the wheel. She drove through it, accidentally going through the walls, but finding that the Spectre Speeder just went through like a ghost did.

"Huh."

She parked it in a room and then walked out, finding herself in an office. Catching sight of the present floating in the air and seeing a glowing green book on the desk, she decided to look at the book first.

Her eyes blinked rapidly as she read through it in disbelief. Grabbing a pen off to the side, she began writing all over it.

"What are you doing?!"

"Wow, like white much, mafia man?" Danny's eyebrows rose into her hairline, seeing the new ghost.

"The name's Walker, little girl, and you shouldn't mess around with things you don't understand. Those rules are –!"

"Fallacious. The rules in this book are fallacious and contradictory. I made corrections so that this book makes sense," Danny said, looking at him disapprovingly.

Walker gaped, "Little girl, you don't know who you're messing with!"

"Don't care. This book of rules was erroneous, but I've corrected it. You should thank me," she said smartly.

Remembering what the Spectre Speeder did, she got an idea and stood still as Walker tried to grab her. His hands went through her so she smirked and went over to the present.

"I'll just be taking this and be on my way. Good day, Walker!"

She whistled as he kept trying to grab her, and she just ignored him, going back to the Spectre Speeder.

Well, at least she had an easy time for now. Though, he'll probably be pissed the next time they meet.
