Chapter 10: Compromise

A/N: Last chapter. Kinda sad it's already over but glad I got it done for ya'll. I posted two chapters today. Make sure you read 9 before 10.

This chapter get's kinda fluffy but is defiantly not Yaoi.

Vlad's POV

I had flown to Amity Park as fast as I could, hoping to beat Daniel there and take him back to Wisconsin. I had arrived quickly but had seen no sign of him so I went to Fenton Works and, seeing as nobody was home, sat in the living room to wait.

A few hours later I heard something in the lab. It sounded like the portal had been activated and a vehicle was running down there. Invisibly I phased through the floor to the lab and watched as the Specter Speeder came through the portal and the portal closed. Out of the Speeder came Samantha, Tucker and a human Daniel. Well sugar cookies. He undid the transformation. Daniel was still wearing the collar which he had obviously tried to get off seeing as it had burn marks all over it. I knew that the collar would not come off unless I unlocked it because it was made of a very strong, ghost proof, material that was almost impossible to break.

Daniel was complaining about not being able to break the collar when his ghost sense went off. I had forgotten about his being able to sense ghosts. And apparently he knew how to use this ability very well because he aimed straight at me and got a direct hit without seeing me. The force of the blast pushed me out of invisibility and I fell to the ground.

"Why are you here, Vlad? And why can't I get this stupid cat collar off?!" Were the first words that left his mouth.

"Isn't it obvious? I came to get my cat back. But seeing as you're human again and the transformation was a one-time deal, I can't get him back. As for the collar, it is a ghost proof material that is near impossible to destroy." I shot back.

"If you wanted company, you could have just asked me to come over instead of turning me into a cat and taking me back to Wisconsin."

"But where would have been the fun in that?"

"I could blow up some of your stuff if that would make it more interesting."

"No, that's quite alright. Would you really just come to keep me company?"

"Sure, but I do have a few requests. One, no fights when I'm over. I don't care any other time but not when I'm over there. Two, give up with trying to get me to be your son or apprentice or whatever since I'll be there anyway. And I won't come after you unless you do something to really tick me off. Ok?"

"I believe you have a deal, Little Badger."

"Great. Now can you please get this stupid collar off me?"

"Of course. Come here." I touched the collar and it glowed in response to my ecto energy. With a click the latch released and I pulled the collar off.

"Now that I'm completely non-cat now, can we never mention this again?" He asked. "And I need to go on patrol to let the town know I'm back. There's sure to be ghosts that have taken advantage of my not being here."

Realizing that the ghosts would have been my fault for taking the town's guardian away, I made a request that shocked Daniel as much as it shocked me.

"Would you like me to help you with patrol tonight, Daniel?" My request was met with a stunned look from Daniel, clearly having no idea why I had offered or how to respond.

"Uh, uh, I suppose. I mean if you want to, but I can take care of it, really!" He stammered.

"Just for one day to get rid of the extras. After this it's all yours." I said. And with that we took to the sky to get rid of the ghosts.

End of story. Hope you all enjoyed it! Please read and review!
