Vlad's P.O.V late one day:

I came to visit my lovely Madeline and young Daniel, Jasmine would be there too, but that hardly mattered. But I have to keep up with that oaf…sigh.

I knock at the door. After waiting a bit the door opens and I hear;" V-man" as my lungs get crushed.

I wheeze out:" nice to see you too Jack, but I would like to breathe too." He lets me go not noticing the sarcasm in my voice.

"Sorry V-man".

"Don't worry, it is okay"… but I add under my breath; "you have done worse".

Maddie comes in to the living room saying;" are you ready Jack?"

Jack reply's;" not yet Mads, Vladdy just came over."

"Oh, did he now…"

Jack looks at me:" Mads and I were heading out to shop groceries. But the kids can keep you company while you wait v-man."

"That's fine, Jack." At least I got the chance to see how Daniel is doing.

Maddie and Jack leaves out the door, and I decide to go up and see what is going on.

I hear a mumble from Daniels room.

"That's an Innocent key.

Love & Hug, Hug & kisses. Love & hug, Hug,& kisses."

I peek in the door and find Daniel asleep at his desk drooling all over his homework.

He mumbles again; "Homework Never Ends!

Wh-what did you say?

The homework is still blank!"

Is he dreaming about homework?

"There is no time to move your mouth, somebody help me with math!

I don't have the time to do it, why don't I use the abacus?

Wait! Don't you have it buried in your head!"

I let out a soft snicker; he is at it again…

"To "make black and white means" to settle unfinished business.

Three plus one is...eight?

At this rate, I'll never finish!"

I let out a laugh, well at least he is right about not finishing…

"Yes, I'm really in a tight spot!

I'll doodle in Sam's notebook while she is not looking~

Aah~! My notebook is burning! Skulker!"

HAHAHA! I clamp my hand over my mouth.

Now I'll get revenge and fill your notebooks with doodles!

Wait... it was actually drawn pretty well... "

I look over at his note book, not bad actually… he can draw…

"This has already gone out of control...it seems that I really don't want to do homework.

I would like a bowl of Udon right now.

And Tucker has started to behave strangely!"

I shake my head in amusement.

" Aah, my homework has been burned to ashes...

And the other is filled with drawings!

When will this be over?"

"Daniel, only to you finish school", I whisper out.

"Wait a little, it's almost 4:00am already...

Waaaa~

And even now, in spite of everything, time keeps on ticking away slowly...

Could I call Clockwork so he could stop time for me!"

Who is Clockwork? A dream figure or someone he knows? Nah it must be a figment of his imagination. If there were a being that could stop time I would know.

(A snicker is heard in a tower in the GZ.)

"The bright morning sun has arrived...I haven't finished any of my homework yet?

Of course I couldn't finish anything with ghosts all around!

What! Jazz has already finished all the homework!"

I shake my head I close his door and walk down in to the living room. And plop down laughing at the couch. Daniel is so amusing.

A/N I hope you like it! If you read Shit happens. I'm sorry for all the waiting but I'm waiting to get the chapter back from my beta reader. And she has been pretty busy. So we have to wait a little longer….. I'm sorry.
