The next day at practice Danny semi limped all the way to the Opera House. His mom and dad suggested that he stay home and rest up a bit, saying that surely Mr. Lancer would understand why he didn't come this one time. Danny refused to let a bruise get in the way of him seeing Phantom and getting answers also he explained that he might not have a huge part in the play, but it was important. When they offered to drive him Danny turned down that as well. It really wasn't that far from his house.

The walk there though seemed to be taking a longer time than normal. What should take ten to fifteen minutes seems like he's been walking for almost half an hour. The pain in his lower back not helping any. Checking his phone Danny couldn't help but cringe at the numbers that glowed back so innocently on his screen. It was almost eleven.

He was late. Lancer is going to kill him.

Deciding to tough out the next few steps up into the Opera House, the door made a loud creeking sound as Danny pushed it open. "Danny you're late!" He heard Sam yell out for him from the stage.

No sign of Lancer.

Rubbing the back of his neck, Danny just gives her a sheepish look. "Yeah I know, sorry about that. I fell last night and bruised my tailbone." Danny explains to his friend as he makes his way to the stage and with each step as he tells his story, her anger for him being late melts away like butter in a microwave. "So if I'm a little slow today, that would be why." Pausing he looks around before asking "Where's Lancer?"

Sam shrugged her shoulders and sighed, "Not sure, though I'm sure he's here somewhere."

"What makes you think that?"

"Someone had to have opened the doors and let us in." She elaborated before walking away to do something related to being backstage. Danny was puzzled by this. Where was Lancer? Did Plasmuis get him too? If so, what does he gain from all of this?

He needs to talk to Phantom. Now.

Hurrying down the hallway as fast as his injuried body will allow him, Danny found his dressing room and locked the door behind him. "Phantom, Phantom come out this is serious!" Danny hissed into the empty room, looking for a ghost that wasn't there. Sitting down in the nearest chair, Danny put his face in his hands. So many questions not enough answers.

"You rang darling?" Phantom asked sweetly and couldn't help but chuckle at the glare Danny fixed him when the human teen looked up at him. "Sorry,I meant Danny. What do you need me for?" Phantoms tone was suggestive which made Danny blush pink for a second before he pulled himself together.

"Lancer is gone."

"Who?"

"My bald, slightly out of shape English teacher. The one who is in charge of the play." Danny explained and saw a light come on inside Phantoms head, radioactive green eyes shining brighter with realization. "Do you think Plasmuis took him?"

"Hard to say. But there is a big chance it was that crazied up frootloop, but we need to be sure." Phantom said floating down infront of Danny. "Maybe you could, uh, come back tonight and could look for him then. Sound good?" The hopefulness in Phantoms voice was almost too much for Danny to bare. Standing up to be eye level with the ghost, Danny felt a small smile tug at his lips as he looked into the eyes that could his thoughts and maybe more.

"Yeah, sure. Tonight it is then." Phantom brought his white glove clad hand to tangle gently in Danny's contrasting black hair, his other hand cupping the other side of Danny's face. For a long while they just stared the other down, until Danny snaked his arms around Phantoms neck and closed the gap between them. The kiss was soft and sweet, it stayed like that for awhile until a cold tounge found Danny's lips begging for enterance in which it was granted.

It all happened so fast, the next Danny knew he was being held up against the nearest wall, his neck being kissed better then he ever would hope to dream. His mind was blank with pleasure as he tried to keep loud moans inside of himself but Phantom was having none of it. The ghost ground their hips together making Danny keen with want. Tangling his own fingers in Snow White hair that was as soft as silk to the touch, Danny craned his head back as far as it will go.

"Danny!?"

Sam. Geez, what a cock block, Phantom couldn't help but think Danny thinking the same as well. "Yeah!" He shouted back, breathless from what he was just doing.

"Lancer is no where to be found so I'm cancaling today, just thought you should know."

"Okay thanks!" Danny hears her footsteps leave and he sighed. Moments gone. "Put me down?" He asked politely.

With a huff Phantom did what he was asked. "Fine, but when this is all over and done with I am SO going to make love to you." Phantom said with a wink making Danny flush again. "See you tonight?"

"Tonight." Danny said before Phantom gave him one last bruising good-bye kiss. Both parties to happy in pure bliss to notice or sense the red eyes watching them make their happiness and forming a plan to tear it all to hell.
