LunarBoy's POV

When I finished eating, Vlad showed me to my room. I really had bad thoughts about this guy, especially after he didn't show me my other 'friend'.

But, for now, I decided to keep a low profile. Acting like an innocent little boy who didn't know any better was a skill I had learned from my older sister. Come to think about it, I was beginning to feel lonely. I missed my family. This Vlad, yes, I call him Vlad in my head, didn't seem like a person I could trust.

But he was being nice to me, at least. I walked into my room and instantly climbed in bed.

"I'm sorry, little badger, I don't have any PJ's for you." Vlad apologized.

I put on a 'I'm a dumb little boy and I love you' look before answering in a false happy/tired voice.

"That's ok, Dad. My other Dad, he sometimes forgets to do the laundry, so I sleep in my clothes all the time." I falsely explained.

Vlad's eyes darkened for a fraction of a moment, and I saw it.

"Goodnight." He said before turning off the lights and shutting the door.

I heard him walking away from the door.

Just wait a couple minuets, make sure he is gone. I told myself.

I quietly got out of bed and went over to the door and opened it a crack.

Nothing.

Good, maybe I can get some more information on this guy. I thought as I tiptoed down the hallway. I heard muffled voices coming to a door to my left, so I pressed my ear to it.

"The boy is asleep." Vlad informed.

"Good, the 'accident' will happen tomorrow, as planed. Four extra years with ghost powers will make me even more powerful!" another voice crackled.

"Master, please, I don't think it is wise to…"

"Don't dare finish that sentence. I know what I am doing, you idiot fool. Yes, the boy will suffer pain beyond pain. He must. How else will he become a half dead?"

I stopped listening and tiptoed away from the door. There was no way I was staying here to be half killed in the morning. When I felt I was far enough away from the door, I ran for it. I was going to get out, somehow.

Vlad thought I was asleep, good. Maybe I can get out of this cursed house.

"Just where do you think your going?" a sinister voice from behind me asked.

Darn it, irony!

I spun around to see a muscular man with flaming hair and green skin staring at me. He was wearing a black and silver HAZMAT suit with a DP emblem on the chest.

"Just who do you think you are, asking me a question like that?" I retorted nastily.

The man smiled evilly. "Oh, Danny, Danny, Danny. I knew that you weren't a total idiot to trust Vlad."

"WHO. ARE. YOU." I shouted. It wasn't a question, but a command. I was somewhat surprised at my bravery, but continued to glare at this man.

"Fine. My name is Daniel Fenton. Or, at least, it was." The man laughed. "Nowadays, people call me Dan, Dan Phantom."

My feelings of being brave turned to fear.


Sam's POV

Danny had been asleep for a while now. I was beginning to wonder how he could sleep with the load snores Tucker and GameBoy where making. I guess that was the reason I didn't feel like sleeping. I checked the compass on the dashboard. "Almost there, just a few more miles." I whispered to myself.

Danny was still using me as his pillow, but I didn't mind. I kind of liked it because I had been running my fingers through his raven black hair.

I finally saw Vlad's mansion. I slowly land the Specter Speeder in front of his house.

"Danny, we're here." I said as I gently shook him awake.

"5 more minuets, Jazz." Danny moaned.

I laughed and placed my hand next to his side.

"Danny, I'll give you to the count of three to get up. 1…2…3!"

I started tickling Danny, and he instantly started to giggle, trying to get away from me.

"S-Sam, p-please, stop tick-tickling m-me!" he gasped

I suppressed a chuckle. "It was the only way to get you up, Danny. We're here. I informed.

Danny's eyes widened.

"Danny, I think we should leave the sleepy heads here. What about you?" I asked.

Danny nodded.

"Danny, are you going to be ok?"

Danny gave me a halfhearted smile. "Yeah. It just worries me. What Vlad told me. He has a master now, and I have a bad feeling I know who it is."

I placed my hands on his shoulders. "Don't worry, Danny. Come on, we need to save Lunar before it's too late."

Danny looked up a me. "Right." He said. Danny turned to Tucker, GameBoy, and Lavender, who were all still asleep. "Sam, can you turn on their specter deflectors?" He asked me. I nodded and did so, but I didn't turn mine on, not just yet.

"Ok, Danny. Their specter deflectors are on. Danny?" I spun around to see he had gone.

"Danny!" I yelled, but he didn't come back. I was lucky I didn't wake up any of the others.


Danny's POV

I was going to pay for what I did to Sam, but I knew I had to do it. If she ever got hurt, I…I…I don't want to think about it. I floated quietly through the mansion, looking for LunarBoy, until finally, I heard people talking.

"You, you can't be me! NO! You are not me!"

I recognized the voice as LunarBoy's, and wondered what he was talking about.

"No, I'm not you…yet." Another voice answered Lunar.

I gulped. I had recognized that voice as well. Dan Phantom, the evil, jerky older version of myself. I finally knew who Vlad's master was.

"Yet? I don't think so. Hey, V-man. I hope you know that I totally hate you guts right now." LunarBoy growled at Vlad.

I almost laughed. 'V-man' was what my dad usually called Vlad.

"I know, LunarBoy. I'm sorry I had to trick you." Vlad tried to sneer, but failed.

"Looks like the 'accident' is going to happen sooner than we planed." Dan laughed.

I turned a corner of the hallway and saw Dan holding an ecto-blast. Lunar was backed up against the wall while Vlad was down on all fours.

"NO!" I shouted as Dan raised his hand to blast LunarBoy. I flew in front of Lunar to black it, and was hit directly. I landed a few feet from Lunar, who ran over to me and hugged my neck.

"Danny! Thanks for coming! Did that evil guy hurt you?" He asked.

"Wait, you know who I am?" I moaned as I got back to my feet, Lunar climbed up onto my back and assumed 'piggyback' position.

"Yeah, they told me." He informed.

"I'm glad to see they didn't hurt you." I sighed in relief.

"Yet." Dan scowled.

"Dan, how did you get away from Clockwork?" I asked furiously.

Dan gave me a wicked smile, and I felt Lunar tighten his grip on me.

"Annoying Clocky, so much fun." Dan sighed as if to relish the memory.

That's when it hit me. Last time, I trapped Dan in a Fenton thermos. This time, I had no thermos.


Clockwork's POV

"Skulker! How much longer?" I asked.

The ghost hunter spun around and held up my time staff.

"I'm almost done, I just need to rewire the time freeze dimension cable wire to the center of the alarm. Then I need to reroute the unfreeze button to the space time continuum and…"

I cut him off. "Skulker, Do you really think I understand anything your talking about? I'm practically powerless without that stupid staff, and I don't know how much longer Danny can hold on." I informed him.

Skulker raised an eyebrow, but tried to finish up on the staff a bit quicker.

I turned back to the screen and watched Danny.

"Please, be strong a little bit longer." I murmured.


Wow, I'm done with another Chapter! YAY ME!

So, Danny and Lunar are in trouble, and Danny has one really PO'd girlfriend. What on earth is going to happen now!?!?

Thanks for the reviews!
