-Danny's Point of View-

Damn, Vlad is good with himself when he gave me this cool watch. It's much better than my parents' watch. Like, it's not even named and that's all it mattered. Not the…Fenton Watcher, Fenton Time, and all. It's creepy like we own a company named after us, but we don't. Of course, Vlad gave me his money…his billions of dollar money. It's right in my pocket and feels weird knowing it's there.

Somehow, I got to the kitchen and met up with the rest. Jazz is in here too, she's explaining that clothes are a huge change, and Lionel shouldn't leave looking like that. Damn, she's already being noisy!

"Ugh, Jazz, quit scaring him about clothes." I crossed my arms in full disappointment in her.

Jazz shook her head, "People will question about it outside if they see him like this and we can't explain that he's been kidnapped for about a hundred of years."

I faced palmed myself, "Lionel, let's get you into some…up to date clothes."

Sam hangs back, shaking her head at us, and leans back on the counter.

"What are they going to say when everyone sees him, Danny?"

I thought back for a while, "He's Vlad's nephew. No one knows his family and Vlad wanted me to spend time kids with my age." It was simple.

Lionel has been quiet during our conversation, even Tucker is. I noticed how Tucker rocking in his chair, frigid his fingers, and shocking in eyes. I came over to him.

"Tuck? You alright?"

He didn't look me in the eyes, I wondered what was bothering him, and I grabbed a chair to sit next to him.

"Dude, I will have Jazz be your next psychologist if I see you freaking out." I wasn't kidding.

His whispered was enough to hear, "I failed technologies, I-I'm useless…cracking down the code and finding you. I failed."

Damn, he's all broken up on this and it's hard to see him like this! I touched his hand that is resting on the table and smiled to give him some confident. I shook my head.

"Tuck, you didn't fail. Raven knew how to prevent finders. It's the collar he put on me, blocking anyone to find me, and that's his way of knowing where I am all the time. Tuck, you are amazing at technologies and you're better than anyone I know to hack into things. Think of it as a challenge; say Technus found a way to block anyone to find me. You'd be able to nail it down, but it could take two days or a week or so. I don't care; I'll survive my damn ass off until I get home."

He stared at me, seeing how fierce I am, and how brutal I went through.

"Yo-you almost died, Danny, I almost lost my best friend!" He cried.

Great…now, what?

"Tucker, you should know he can't kill me. No one can, even they claim to be." It was simple and straight forward to tell the truth. "Now, let's get out of here and do some serious shopping. Vlad gave me his wallet of money." I shrugged.

Tucker stared at me, "…the cool ride?"'

I chuckled and agreed.

I patted his back, "Yeah, the cool ride." I got up and turned to Lionel, "Come on, you can borrow my clothes before we leave."

Lionel nodded and I flew and phased through the wall until we got to the bedroom of his. I went over to the drawers and gave him my older clothes. Lionel puts them on, he's been so quiet, and I hated it.

"Alright, what gives, Lionel?" Yeah, I snapped a bit.

Lionel started to put on a shirt and shrugged. I sat down on the bed and crossed my arms.

"He-he will try to kill me again…" His voice is all shaken up.

That feeling, I knew how much Raven has done, and that fearing him was one thing. I came up to hug him, giving him security, and he gripped onto hugging me. His breathing took a while to settle down.

"I-I feel...like I-I still have my powers, still there. I have been so afraid to try and ihe/i would know, try again, and kill my ghost." That took a lot out of him.

For a minute, I did think there was something unusual since he hasn't aged normally and that he can remember easily to use his powers. When having your own power, you'd never forget how to use them. I moved my head back to see him…gee, this is getting too awkward. He's like Vlad, only his hair is black and at the state of being sixteen years old.

"Uh…um," I started to snap back to reality, "Well, try transforming. Raven will never know anyway." I stepped aside and keeping my personal distance.

"Now?"

I nodded, Lionel became nervous, and started to pace. With his pacing faster than ever, his body started to flicker lights, and changing into something newer. This is his way of becoming one? Not only that, he has that pirate shirt or girl would call a man blouse in dark blue which turned down into a slick jumpsuit from dark blue to black boots. His hair is very dark gray with white trimming edge. He has this pirate belt looking, but it did make him look cute- WAIT! It's Vlad I am in love with, not Lionel. Ugh, got to remember Lionel is straight. Maybe Dani would…here I am, I need a major vacation here.

"…my powers! They came back!" Lionel jumped up and floated with cheer.

This really interests me to see how much he misses them and that they're back. It would make sense how he isn't aging.

"Looks like he didn't really kill your ghost half, you must have used duplication to make it look real." I nodded, "Or your ghost is part of your DNA, you can't destroy it."

Lionel hugged me, "Oh, joy! I can protect myself!"

He was about to fly off and gripped him. I shook my head.

"Dude, I know ghost powers are awesome and all, but my friends are waiting for us so we can get you some clothes and stuff." I chuckled weirdly.

Lionel nodded and gathered himself back to normal. Okay, human normal that is. We returned to my friends and Jazz hung around in the kitchen to make her something. My friends and I walked passed by Vlad and his friend. I waved with a smile and he waved back with his sweet smile.

"Be back by dinner, Daniel." He insisted.

I giggled…I giggled? "Sure thing, love!" I thought teasing him would be fun.

His eyes rolled, "Of course, sweetie."

Great…I need to find him a nickname, a new one.

"Fruitloop!" We were out the door.

I could hear Kyle laughing at the nickname I originally gave Vlad the first night. I bet he's going to explain how silly and ridiculous I was a couple years ago. The limo is on the road and I hung my arm around Lionel's shoulder. I bet he hasn't seen anything like this and he took it very slow to go into the limo ride. Tucker went at the end of the seat, keeping his mind off of something, and Sam snuggles up on his arm to provide comfort. The limo started to join the road and he kept watching the window. Hopefully, it's not much difference between horse riding or something.

Lionel kept pointing at some of the things he seen outside of the window and Sam whispering about something. I looked at her with suspicious.

"What?"

Sam shook her head, "Nothing."

Tucker snickered, "Yeah, it's our personal inside joke for us."

I rolled my eyes and Lionel didn't seem to pay attention much.

"Lionel, do you want me to tell them the good news?"

Lionel acknowledged me, "Yes, please do so."

Both of my friends beamed their eyes at me with an unexpected surprise coming down now.

"Uh, Danny, Vlad already told us about your engagement and all." Sam mentioned.

I think she's just trying to make sure I knew and I shrugged. Vlad already told me that and it's taken care of. Why worried about that now?

"No, Sam, not that. Actually, Lionel did something before we left the house and to think about it, I think Raven didn't kill his ghost a hundred percent off. He probably killed a duplicate or either that; you can't literally kill his half since it's a part of his DNA."

Lionel nodded to most of my words to what I revealed to my friends. Sam and Tucker blinked, trying to comprehend all of this, and Lionel started to play his ectoball…or power. His eyes changed with his power to red like Vlad. Damn, they have similar in common and the fact that Vlad's ecto power is more pinkish purple. Lionel is red, Raven is blue, and mine is green like Dani's. It is very interesting to see how each of us is different and develop different personality. Could it be possible there may be change in the future? Dan has red power, before that it was green. I wanted to obverse it all.

"Odd, I never had red power." Lionel acted like it's the first time he seen it.

Tucker perked up, "What color was it before?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I agree with Tuck."

"It used to be blue, bright blue. Why all of a sudden change?"

I shrugged, "When was the last time you used your power?"

Lionel became quiet and that is getting to be irksome. Sam and Tucker waited for Lionel, we watched his etco ball spinning in his hand, and how it makes me feel like to connect to his. I touch his and felt like power transferred or whatever they call it.

"It was seventy-nine years ago I last used my power before he tried to kill my ghost." Lionel spoke out of the blue.

"Maybe you develop a stronger power that's been stored inside of you for so long." Sam clicked.

Lionel nodded, "Maybe, it would make sense why I kept feeling chilly around him." He pointed at me.

I blushed and couldn't believe what he said!

"Hey! I can't control my ghost core, alright? I rather pick something different, but it's what I'm stuck with." I snapped a bit.

Lionel slid down the seat a bit and I kept my anger inside. Sam sighed at my trying my best effort and Tucker glances away to avoid any contact.

"Lionel, Danny doesn't mean it. He's not used to be in small place like a limo and he'll be himself again."

I glared at her, "You'd understand how very little space there is in a Fenton Thermos and you'd panic if there isn't anyone to save you."

"I do, Danny, I do understand! It's hard to relate when you're a ghost and you're used to large room! Besides, it's better off we take this ride than your dad driving us there."

I chuckled, she is right…if dad was driving. We would be glued to the seat and hoping that we would make it out alive. That and Lionel would probably fear automobile for the rest of his life. Can't have that now. Limo finally stopped and parked in the parking lot. I opened the door and helped Lionel out first. There were several people chatting away about something about the rides and us. Oh well, Lionel stood very close to me and joined along to walk. Dash started to crawl through the crowd with unimpressive look.

"Yo Fentina!" He snapped.

Lionel hid behind me, "What do you want, Dash?" I crossed my arms.

He tried to grab my shirt and saw Lionel, "Who is this kid? Why does he look like…well, the mayor?" His growling started off.

I slapped his hand, "You've got too many question, Dash. This is Vlad's nephew, Lionel."

Lionel watches the bully and victim in action. Dash hasn't stopped trying to let go and Sam started to come up.

"Hey, let him go, Dash or I will have the police come and get you arrested." Sam threatened him.

Dash growled and marched away. We finally got our privacy somewhat back to normal and head into the mall. Lionel hasn't gotten over to what he witnessed between my bully and all.

"How could you stand up to him like that?" Lionel had to ask.

I shrugged, "I was bullied since the beginning of high school and I learned to work around with him. He's not that much to worry, he's just human."

"Are you sure he's just human? He reminded me of someone who used to prick on me."

I chuckled, "Oh yeah, I'm sure. What was his name?"

"Harley Baxter, he was cruel and annoying. I never had much to stand against him."

I blinked…weird. We started to head into the common clothes shop and my friends started to sneak away to another shop. I think it's that Sam wants to get new gothic clothes or something. Lionel looked around to many new styles and everything. He kept looking around, barely touching anything, and I had to set some example to show him how to shop properly. Lionel observed.

"Huh…I think you just met his several great grandsons. That's Dash Baxter." I chuckled, "I guess his family has an odd tradition to tease people to generation."

Lionel laughed for the first time, "It's very interesting to see much has changed."

"Hey! Your first laugh!" I felt like being a father, but I'm waaayyy too young to start, "But, yeah, a lot changed I guess." I randomly grabbed a pink sweater.

I could tell Lionel is laughing at me for trying something so pinkish.

"What?"

He shook his head, "Why are you wearing pink coat?"

I gawked, "Dude, some guys do wear pink. It's the guts to do it for women or your gay boyfriend." I shrugged.

"I certainly will not be doing that for my lady."

I rolled my eyes, "Dude, say girl instead of lady. You have so much to catch up to."

Lionel found a sweater that had black and brown, very modern pirate like, and something came to my attention.

"Were you a pirate back then or something?" I was curious, sue me.

Lionel blinked, "Oh, my family used to be known for pirate and they wanted to end it before I was even born. Mother and father were very…well known for their deeds. Why you think they shipped me off to my aunt and uncle, hm? I still model after them for pirate and never gotten the chance to create more pirate life. Do they still carry on pirates in this time of year now?"

Wow…that would make so much sense to my belief. It's part of his generation to be a pirate that went down in his time.

"Well, pirates are known, but they stopped at your time. You'd probably see kids dressing up as pirate for fun." I admire the new sweater he put on, "You want that?"

Lionel checked himself out in the mirror, "Yeah, I like it." He turned to me, "…you're not buying that pink coat are you?"

I chuckled, "Nah, Vlad would probably find a way to make me wear a bride dress." I shrugged and put it back on the shelf.

I went to get the small cart and grabbed his sweater into the cart.

"When you find something you like to buy, put it in here. It'll save us the trouble to carry everything." I explained.

Lionel nodded in interests, "Remarkable idea!"

I face palmed, "Dude, you should say amazing idea. No one says that anymore."

Lionel disbelief showed me how words and things changed drastically over time.

"And what year is it again?" He had to ask?

"Two thousands and eleven, Lionel. Now, we're here to shop. Not talk about everything at once."

Lionel agreed and we went through so many clothes. I told him buy what fits him and he likes. He picked it up quick seeing that no one cares how you dress as long they're comfortable on him. He picked up the habit of modern clothes and it suits him well. It's not like you see this every day and I bet he will be dressing up like a real pirate for Halloween. I'm so looking forward to that! We bought the new clothes and started to head over to a new store. Sneakers, slippers, and boots were important. He found a boot that matched well to his clothes and I had to explain they are for winter. Lionel kind of gotten upset, but he said he would wear them indoor. I couldn't let that slid and agreed.

Lionel cheered up and rambled onto the sneakers. He admitted that they felt comfortable more than a hundred years ago sneakers used to be. I couldn't complain, but I think it's the fact shopping makes me feel normal. Lionel spotted a pair of sneakers that had my Phantom signature and he insisted I should try them on.

"Fine, fine! I will try them on." I started to try them on and oddly, it felt comfortable, "Not bad. I'd like if I could change my kicking boots to this." I did a couple of times to kick in the air and felt more power to it.

"Then, get it!"

I shook my head, "Oh, no, I can't have anyone figuring out Fenton is Phantom. Did you forget being a superhero needs to keep a secret to their identity?"

He laughed, "One thing I learned, people are a bit moronic to even tell the difference between me and my ghost."

I blinked, "True, like Dash is. He barely even noticed I was actually the hero. Secondly, you can call them idiots, stupid, or moron. Moronic is lame."

Lionel continued on barraging me about buying the sneakers. I told him this shopping was for him only and that next time we can shop for me. Gee, I'm dealing with kid here. Somehow, he snuck the sneakers into the cart without my looking around and almost got me buying it. I glared.

"Seriously, dude! Vlad would probably have my head if he sees I got anything for myself!" I set that on a random shelf and paid the sneakers and boots.

"…you're not buying it, are you?"

I nodded and we started to head to the next store. It's just rather not risk my secret and he'll learn that's for sure. The people here aren't that stupid, if Jazz is able to solve it, and then, anyone can if they spend their time close to me. I'm only being careful and yes, it's nice to see there is stuff after me. We started to head into electronic store and he hid behind me. What the heck is going on with him?

"Lionel, what's with you? Ever since we came into this store, you're acting like a ghost is here."

Lionel shaky hand pointed at everything. Then it came to me…technologies.

"Those things you see are technologies. We have everything in electric, they're harmless. I'm sure they got a phone or a clock you might like."

Lionel looked curious, "You can buy a clock here? How strange."

I chuckled and started to tour him most of the technologies. We ended up meeting Tucker and Sam by the PDA sections is and Lionel lurked over to Tucker. They were chatting about the availability that serves in our time. It gotten Tucker happier to speak history about it and Lionel was able to understand. They clicked well together and be able to blend in better. Sam glanced down at the bags I was carrying all day today.

"You're shopaholic, Danny." Sam had to tease me.

I glared, "Oh, haha, very funny goth."

"Hey, you're the girl here, not me."

My eyes rolled, "Says to someone who is already loaded."

"And someone is spending way too much, where's the extra money coming from?"

I lifted my bags up, "My boyfriend and he gave me his wallet to shop for Lionel." I set down the bag.

"He actually gave his money to you?" Uh oh, she's smirking at me.

I gulped and started to walk away.

"Don't even think about it, Sam!"

She chuckled, which is never good, "Come on, a small revenge wouldn't kill him. He owes us all the damage he did to us for the past two years."

Damn, she's losing it, "I want him to trust me! Are you crazy, Sam! Do you want to see me that upset if he tries to break up with me?"

Sam shrugged, "You only doing it because you love him, what's wrong with a little revenge?"

I started to go invisible, Sam with her devious idea rarely pleases me, and knowing the fact she still hates him for his past. Damn, I don't care if she doesn't approve. She isn't pushing the line at all! Of course, Tucker finally got her to quit it after realizing I was invisible for short time, and Lionel began to get worried to see I disappeared. I turned up in front of him to get him calmed down and he shivered down.

"Sorry, Sam is a bit…revengeful at Vlad and I refused to participate." I shook my head.

Lionel breathe to normal, "I-I thought he got you again!"

He cried into my arms and I patted his back. I hushed him a few times and my friends covered us up before anyone could see us.

"No, Lionel, if he was coming near. My watch would tell me and we'd be out of here before he finds us. I'd drag you out of here and get home." I enforced some understanding here.

Lionel wiped his tears and looked over at Tucker. Tucker was eager to talk about the starter phone for him and I had to agree. Whatever bothered Lionel about Raven, there is a need to break things down, and it's going to be a while.

But, Raven isn't going to be in our lives and that was it. We spent our day shopping and Lionel tried his first hotdog in the modern time. He found it tasty and Sam tried to slip some…salad or vegetarian food. Lionel's willing to try was something else and he's taking it all in so fast.
