A/N: I"M SO SORRY! I'd like to say it's cause school started the 2nd of August...but in reality...I got caught up in some epic anime-Kuroshitsuij, and a funny one-Ouran High School Host Club.

And even that doesn't cover it. The main thing is this:

I AM A SLACKER.

I can get it done, but I put it off-same with school, if no one is breathing down my neck about it-I'm less likely to actually focus on the work and do it.

I hope this long-ish chapter makes up for it^^;

Danny's POV:

Staring at the ceiling one thought ran through my head...

'That didn't just happen...'

Like one of those songs that just gets stuck in your head and you can't get rid of. But worse.

Because I was now officially a theif.

The tickets were tucked away in the dresser drawer with the list I'd made-and had been there for the past day and a half.

I'd woken up, and gone downstairs, running in to Vlad. He'd glanced at a nearby clock and said, "Tick tock, little badger."

And my heart like literally missed a beat. Whether or not he noticed though he walked by me-to work I presume.

So I'd spent hours just thinking of any way possible out of this-and found nothing.

Growling I rolled over, slamming a pillow over my head-a failed attempt to stop thinking about it.

But...it'd been so easy...

A door slammed-or that's what I thought it was. The noise was muffled, but seeing as it was the only thing I'd heard all day it seemed like a safe guess. He was probably home now.

This would be the oppurtune time to present the tickets. But I couldn't bring myself to get them. As much as I wanted to take them back-it felt like it was too late. Like giving them back would undo the fact I'd taken them in the first place.

And to stay here, I needed them.

Vlad's POV:

Idly I wondered if-no, when-Daniel would admit defeat. Honestly what more could I expect of him? In a few days time he'd be overwhelmed by my vauge order, he'd already been sulking about and soon he'd give in. Check and mate.

I couldn't say I expected him to actually come up with some brilliant plan to win me over. From the start this was about how far he was willing to go to remain here. At the most I expected another speech of sorts. Make him fall apart fully and see how desperately he needed help.

Yet as he wandered out in to the back I noticed a change in his disposition. He wasn't sulking-no, he was moving about as though guilty.

The boy never was a good liar.

I phased upwards through the ceiling and a few walls, finally ending up in his room.

If anything was to hint towards his actions it would be in here. How clever did he think he was? I glared, once more I'd let him in to my home and he'd stabbed me in the back.

Now where to start...

My eyes landed on the nightstand next to his bed. Surely the boy wasn't as dense as his father? Even he would know better than to hide something in such an obvious place...

'Says me...says me...sesame! The password is open sesame!'

Strike that.

Yanking the drawer out I found a notepad with a hastily scribbled list on it-there appeared to be lines throught each line though. Curious I picked it up and read:

1. Renounce dad

2. Money

3. Mo-no never

4. Get Packers

Well, well...it seems he was attempting to impress me after all-and failing miserably.

Rolling my eyes I moved to replace the booklet, and paused when I saw something else in the drawer that clearly didn't belong.

"What in he world..."

Danny's POV:

I decided spending time in my room was doing me no good. So I opted to go for a quick walk around the grounds. Might was well get used to the place I suppose.

It proved to be a very good decsion, very relaxing to just look around the plush lawn with the grand ornamental trees that were meant to look natural but obviously plotted out, a few wildflowers here and there.

I stayed away from the main buildings-not really caring at the moment what each of them held, only wanting to find a quiet place to contemplate things so far...but in a more tranquil area.

Just ahead the trees bunched to form a forest-an since I wasn't following any particular path I planned to continue on till I was deep in the foliage. But after taking just a few steps inside the world seemed like a quieter place.

Sinking down against a tree trunk I looked up through the closely bunched leaves, the sun above making them cast an emerald light on everything.

I sighed, closing my eyes. Maybe if I came here enough I could handle an extended stay here...

"Daniel."

I felt my brows furrow and resisted the compulse to growl, so much for relaxing time, stupid fruitloop has the worst timing...

"What?" I snapped.

"How exactly did these end up in your room?" he asked, voice irritated.

Opening my eyes to glare I focused on the items in Vlad's hand.

The tickets.

A/N: Oooh the supseeenssse~! Everyone knows where the qoute came from right-no not TUE, but...umm...well when Danny's family sells the lab and they get rich and Danny puts a password on the portal and he picks the most obvious thing in the world-ya know?
XD

Anways-I apologize again for the super long wait! Perhaps to pass time between updates you can watch Kuroshitsuji(Black Butler)-about a demon butler and his young master in late 1800's England where the two(bound by contract) seek revenge against those who have wronged the youn master, very epic! Or Toward the Terra(Terra-e)-set in the distant future when humanity has screwed itself over and runs things very machine like-trying to exterminate the Mu(humans born with telepathic powers and such) VERY EPIC. Or Descendants of Darkness(Yami no Matsuei)-present time I believe and about two(though many more are mentioned)Shinigami(Gods of Death/Reapers) and their trials as a team, also pretty epic. And of course amsuing Ouran with it's dark undertones-need I say it's fairly epic?

Okay-enough spame-please review if you're still reading!
