Vlad Plasmius was not the most stable of individuals. Some would call him insane, crazy, obsessed, or in a halfa's case, a fruit loop. He personally preferred 'driven', but when the average ghost was near impossible to rattle, it took a special kind of person to be considered 'persona non grata'.

He was, however, a problem solver. And THIS problem had been decades in the making. He made what certain predators or the right kind of nightmare might call a smile as he took in the sight before him.

Beautiful, powerful, HIS.

A home grown clone, molded to perfection of his true love Madeline Plasmius…. To use her rightful name. Only a top-gap measure of course, until the real thing could be produced, but it would do wonders for soothing the hungry absence in his life. He'd Spent MONTHS on this, between his business deals, conquests and other outings, and the thought of its competition had made all those failur-SETBACKS and the hands of her son so much easier to bear. It was finally ready. Oh this was a good day.

The clone chamber in front of him was filled with green ectoplasm-rich goo and through the glass he could see the vision held inside. The floating clone that had a breathing mask on and was completely motionless, perfectly at peace and untouched. Untouched by any FAT IDIOT WHO… . now now. Time to wake her, time to welcome her into the world with the proper hands.

The timer tock, tick, ticked down, and the timer rang. The locks disengaged, and through the cloud of steam the door opened. Vlad's hands itched to dive in, but he waited and enjoyed the sight of the fluid draining around her. She was PERFECTION, identical down to the last of his detailed measurements.

The well done hourglass figure, the subtle muscular build, the well toned rear and thighs, the well built behind and, of course, the two perfectly sculpted globes glistening as the lab lights danced on their wet flesh. He brushed a wet strand of her hair away from her sleeping eyes, and let his gaze travel up to her face. Oh yes, down to the last detail. She seemed so peaceful like this, it was almost a shame to disturb her.

But Vlad dearest, how else can we be together? I can't wait any longer

She was right, of course, and he smiled warmly at her wisdom. He gently cupped her head and lifted her out of the chamber, breathing in her scent. "Ah, I can never get tired of your natural smell my dear". He heard her tinkling giggle and allowed himself a brief chuckle in return. His loving gaze rose back to her eyes as her carried her to the mirror, ready for the next phase.

"Now dearest, this might feel a little strange, but it's all for the better"

Wake me Vlad, wake me. You've waited long enough, it's time to take your reward

Vlad hugged her to his chest, holding her tightly in place. He nested his head in her neck until the rumbling at the back of his throat grew too much, then threw back his head and joined her in a celebratory cackle. The hands around her chest began to vanish, becoming transparent and slipping beneath her skin with a soft glow. The deep, masculine bass echoing around the room became a feminine soprano as Vlad stepped into his new skin, but was no more warm or welcoming for it.

Ooooh darling, you feel so good. Tell me what to do next.

Vlad let his head drop back as he took himself in. He flexed his hands, enjoying their supple feel, then let them run over his form. "Oh yes, it's better than I ever imagined. This body of Maddie is truly what I can call my wife."

He frowned as he thought of the REAL Maddie, off in the world without him, but the soothing caress of her gentle hands soon brought him back to the present.

"No, don't get upset, be glad. You can still have what you always deserved." he watched the words fall from her beautiful lips.

Of course dearest, it was time to prepare. Vlad levelled his gaze at the mirror and watched as Maddie put on her best seductive, coy face. Alright, but she would learn. "Vlad dear, it's so wonderful to see you" they purred. She twisted her body to hide away, but shot him an inviting look that dared him to come find her. "Aren't you going to welcome me?"

"My my, my dear, eager as always."

"Only for you that is. You're so much more handsome, and intelligent, and DESERVING than anyone else"

Vlad smiled. "How true, how true. I'm so glad you made the right choice after all this time…"

"Well why don't you go ahead and do whatever you want? It's just the two of us."

Vlad ignored the thrill running up his spine at her words and the downright hungry grin on her face. She could act as coy as she wanted but he knew the real her. Just the two of them. To rehearse for his final victory, to finally have a taste of his true love, to practise all the modifications he would make to her... his mind reeled at the possibilities….

….and something was wrong. His mind had wandered for only a moment, and already he could feel something amiss as he came back to earth. As he tried to step back, and examine the clone from the outside he discovered he couldn't. The wondrous flesh of his dear Madeline clinging to his body like a trap and wouldn't let go. He felt himself begin to panic. He pushed his powers harder, the light from his power began to burn brighter and brighter, Suddenly he felt something snap, and the light became blinding. Then darkness followed, and he knew no more….

"Danny, could you get the door?" called Jack from the basement "We just need to finish this and we'll be right with you!". There was a brief flash and a shriek of rending metal, which usually meant they'd be done one way or another.

"I'm on it." Their son Daniel called back, while walking down the stairs towards the knocking.

His sister Jazz had apparently also heard, and was coming out of the kitchen as he stepped onto the first floor. Danny gave her a quick nod as he walked by, and she stopped to let him take the door, but stuck around to see who it was. He could understand, they weren't expecting anyone today and until his parents figure out the soundproofing problems,very few people would approach over the sounds of the experiment in the basement.

That said, while Danny didn't know who he thought would be standing at the door, it was almost certainly not who he saw. Danny could swear that he'd never seen the woman at the door before, but at the same time he had the strangest twin sensations; that he was immediately terrified and, momentarily, that his mother had somehow beaten him here. There was a resemblance, a general one, but a strong one; the heart shaped face, the curved hips, the generous swell of her shirt… but some hormonal part of his brain fought past his conscious repression to note that what his mother had in spades, this woman had even more. But from there, the resemblance ended, like someone had taken his mother as a model then painted over the top. Her shoulders were broader, her hair was white, longer and slicked back, her ears were pointed, her eyes cold and her skin pale… but it wasn't until Danny saw the fangs and the way she was dressed that he made the connections.

That being a black suit with a red handkerchief in the left breast pocket and a matching red bolo tie. The suit had white button and a white undershirt, both straining to hold their new shape, and a pair of black pointed shoes that were too large for the feet they contained.

"Vla-" Danny began to yell accusingly, but felt a soft but firm hand clasp over his mouth. At the same time, he heard Jazz try and heard the hand clap over her mouth as well. As the vlad-woman levelled an unimpressed glare at them Danny noted some more hints, the cheekbones were sharper and thicker, her hair line dipped into a V, and she was a head taller than their mom. And, he noted, she was a touch more muscular judging by the grip on his jaw.

"Danny, who is it?" he heard behind him.

Vlad-woman's eyes flickered to the sound of footsteps coming from the basement steps and her face immediately snapped into what she probably thought was a warm and excited smile. The Fenton children found themselves spun around by the head and gripped lovingly, but firmly by the throat in a quick imitation of a hug as their parents stepped into the room and saw this strange woman pressing them into her chest.

"Oh, hello there, who are you?" asked Maddie, with just a touch of hostility at the woman manhandling her kids.

"I'm sorry for dropping by unexpectedly, but I believe you know my brother, his name is Vlad Masters." the once brother in question grinned disarmingly "I was just in town and just HAD to see the family he's always speaking so.. Highly of!" She dropped the teens to the floor and clasped her hands while they choked down breath. "I'm sorry if I was a bit rough with the poor dears, but Vlad's told me so much about them and I was just so happy to finally meet them I couldn't resist! You know how it is…"

Maddie and Jack blinked, lowering the weapons they'd been preparing.

"So… you're Vlad's… sister?" Maddie ventured.

"Hmm…. He never mentioned a sister. And he tells me everything." Said Jack, crossing his arms.

"Well me and my brother use to have it out for each other after a horrid argument. It's my fault really. I've been abroad for a few years and came back and decided it was time to apologise. We managed to patch things up and I just HAD to see around his home town. He especially told me how his best friend from college Jack Fenton was someone to go to when it came to the paranormal."

"Well that's Vlady for ya." smiled Jack buying the reason. "Glad to meet you. I'm Jack as you might have guessed," Jack offered his hand an relaxed his bulging muscles. Vlad looked a little relieved to see the tension leave the giant's shoulders. "This fine lady here is my wife Maddie, and those are our kids Danny and Jazz." He clasped his wife lovingly on the shoulders and indicated the kids sprawled on the floor.

"Who apparently you're VERY glad to see." muttered Maddie sarcastically.

"Again I'm terribly sorry for such a rude entrance, but I came over as fast as I could because I wanted to meet you all in person." the woman said, scooping Maddie into a hug. "He's told me SO much about what you do for the world, how wonderful your little ones are and all about you Maddie dear." she said, laying her head affectionately on Maddie's shoulder.

Maddie firmly excused herself from the hug, smiling awkwardly. "No harm meant, no harm meant. But, um…. You didn't give your name?"

"Oh!" She grinned, and Danny noticed that she put a little too much teeth into it. "Right ... sorry about that, I seem to... still be a little jet lagged…." She swooned to illustrate, collapsing daintily against the wall. Only Danny and Jazz saw her eyes darting about as she thought of a cover-name. "Sorry… I'm…"

Danny got to his feet and turned to his parents. "She's V-" and suddenly found himself yanked off his feet and pressed against the intruder's chest in a near skull-crushing hug.

"Veronica!" She smiled pleasantly! "Thank you Daniel! I introduced myself to the little ones a moment or so ago and plum forgot! They were so happy to meet their auntie Veronica they just hugged me on the spot! Isn't that right Jasmine…?"

Jazz felt a chill travel down her spine as the woman… Veronica's eye flashed red in her direction. "Uh...yeah, that's exactly it." she cringed. Sorry Danny.

The storm clouds lifted from Maddie's eyes. "Oh! Well I'm glad they liked you! Sorry I was so tense I… wasn't sure how to take you appearing like that."

"Oh it's quite alright, things like this happen." Veronica purred, stroking Danny's head affectionately. Not that his parent's saw the claws digging into his scalp...

"Well now that you're here, me and Maddie can show you around, Vlady's probably told you all about some of the best gizmos we make and the most thrilling battles we've had against ghosts." smiled Jack, giving his old enemy a hearty slap on the back that made her drop Danny entirely. "Or maybe not, he seems to have forgotten to mention a few things." he joked, nodding towards Veronica.

"Yes well, I guess it can't be helped. I'm sure he had his reasons." she laughed through gritted teeth.

"Oh nonsense." said Maddie reassuringly, "Why it's a horrible shame he never mentioned you all these years, and making YOU apologise, I'm sure he's just as much at fault." she said warmly, patting her visitor on the shoulder.

"No, no it was definitely all me." the sugary laugh was starting to crack, "Could we… NOT talk about it? I'd prefer just to look around if that's okay…"

"Ah! Good call. We'll have Plenty to tell you about! Follow me and Maddie downstairs, we're working on a device that's bound to clean up this town of every ghost, especially that no good ghost kid."

"Wonderful… wonderful… thanks for helping me stand Danny dear."

Danny stared wide eyed into space as his parents escorted the woman out. Jazz shot him an apologetic look, but Danny had too many emotions right now to respond.

What?

"Jazz ...what happened? I mean to Vlad?" asked Danny to his sister while drinking a soda. "I mean...I'm literally lost on what's going on with him."

"I know!" Jazz said, "There's just so many questions! I mean, what is he doing here, why is he acting like that, and why does he look-"

"Like this?"

The Fenton siblings froze and turned to see the woman in question looming in the doorway. She glared at them and slowly walked in. "Your parents thought we should get to know each other." she hissed. "So why don't we get the questions out of the way now…."

Danny frowned and stood up. "What do you want Vlad? You've always been a crazed fruit loop, but this is even more crazy than what you usually do."

She glared back at him, then down at herself. "An unfortunate… accident, with a prototype of mine. I was merely trying it one for size when a surge of ghost energy fused me to it. A temporary setback, of course, once I find your Fenton ghost catcher and release myself from this prison..."

"You'll what? Try and hurt our parents?" guessed Jazz with a frown.

The woman chuckled. "Only one of them. No, after this I'll simply slip back into the ways things were. But, in the meantime…. Your parents have graciously invited me to stay."

And like that, both kids felt themselves break out into a sweat while the woman checked her nails with a smile.

"So, while I'm staying, let's all play nice and get along, shall we? Wouldn't want any OTHER secrets getting out… while I'm here to add my take on things."

Neither sibling could say a thing, and both of them stared as they tried to think of something, anything else to ask… and suddenly Jazz winced.

"Wait…. So if you look kinda like mom… meaning you fused with some kind mom suit." they both shivered at the image "EW, by the way. Why are you so..." She trailed off and weakly gestured with her hands "...so much more…?"

"Hmph, such a childish reaction. Can't you simply respect my appreciation for the fine woman?" she scowled, before averting her eyes down. "But I admit that… this was surprising. An, unforeseen side effect of the ectoplasmic energies merging with your mother's, … particularly potent gene pool. Something you'll likely have to look forwards to young Jasmine."

Jasmine blinked in surprise, thoughts of Vlad with a copy of her mother's body briefly banished. "What, really?" She was already ahead of the rest of her class, and had wondered whether her mother's figure was hereditary..

"That would explain-" muttered Danny, averting his own gaze.

The recently dubbed Veronica snarled at herself, drawing Danny's attention back. He blushed at the sight of her clutching her chest in anger. "And yet they are not FINISHED, they have grown since the accident and I have no idea how long the will continue. Yet ANOTHER reminder of this prison, and of my reason to be here." her eyes flicked back to meet Danny's, and he felt himself yanked to her face by the collar. An inch away from his own, her eyes flashed crimson. "The ghost catcher. Jack's yammering interruptions will FINALLY be of some use to me. I know what it is, I know that it can separate flesh and phantom and I want it NOW."

"Hey! Don't get mad at me, this is all on you pal." he threw back while trying not to look down at the chest and kept reminding himself this was Vlad. "Maybe if you took my advice and went with a cat instead of trying to clone our MOM, then you wouldn't have wound up like this, you creep."

Her ruby red lips twitched into a predatory sneer, and though her eyes almost softened they grew cold. "Oh you'll help me Danny. You'll change your mind. Because the faster I'm back to my old self, the faster I'm out of your house. Because the faster I dispose of this failed experiment, the sooner you never have to think of it again." the sneer became a playful smirk, fit for a cat playing with a particularly feisty mouse. "And because your mother was SO proud of how quickly you came to my aid, she's asked you to help me settle in…" the hand on his shirt slipped out and began stroking his chin affectionately. "So play nice, and make sure I have NO complaints, or auntie will have to tell and your parents will be so disappointed.." she purred. Her eyes hardened and she rose to her full height. "Children" she smirked and vanished.

Danny knew what this meant. This had become a game, and Vlad, or whoever she was, was already seeing themselves win. He turned to see Jazz shooting him a supportive look.

"Danny, what are you gonna do?" asked Jazz. He sighed.

"We'll have to wait and see… but don't worry. She'll slip up eventually."

When Danny came home, he found Veronica laughing with his parents in the living room.

"And that's when I try to reload the bazooka, and wouldn't ya know it, my shoelaces are untied. So I reach down to tie them, completely forget I'm holding on to it, and then I wound up pulling the trigger and covered myself in goo!"

The ladies laughed at Jack's story, maddie gazing fondly at her mountain of a husband, and the secret villain gazing fondly at her in turn. None of them heard Danny come in, but when he dropped his bag his parents beamed at him. Veronica merely showed her teeth.

"Danny! Food day at school? Any new ghost attacks?"

"Nah, just had to deal with the usual boring homework, plus a surprise pop quiz, so nothing exciting." He levelled his gaze at 'Veronica'. "No ghosts today…."

"Fantastic" Bellowed Jack, standing to give his son a back-breaking hug. A thought occurred to him. "Gadzooks though, you're home already! Your mother an I were about to put the finishing touches on the new modifications to the spectre speedster when we lost track of time! Danny, could you look after our guest for us while we get back to work?"

'Veronica' quickly rose. "Oh there's no need to put danny out of his way! Why don't I join you in the lab? Take a look around! See some of the devices you built..."

"Nonsense!" scoffed Jack, and Maddie joined him in a chuckle. "Un untrained civilian around all that heavy equipment? Who knows what could happen to you! Danny will keep you safe and entertained, but just to be sure… better change the passcodes. No offense meant of course."

"Of course." the villainess said, only sounding a little like she was choking.

"It's not that we don't trust you, it's just we wouldn't want Vlad being upset if his only sister got hurt by accident." Maddie piped up, patting her guest on the shoulder.

Veronica quickly returned it as a sweeping hug, laying her head affectionately on Maddie's own. "Oh it's nothing dear, no offense at all." she purred. "I could never stay mad at you. I'm sure me and young Daniel will be able to keep ourselves busy until you get back, be careful driving."

"We're going to, bye Danny! Bye Jazz!" she called up the stairs.

Danny watched his parents walk out the door and slowly turned to watch his ghoulish guest staring at him with a strange smile. Her eyes narrowed, and her grin grew pointed…

"Now little Daniel….. I wouldn't DREAM of undermining your mother's wishes… but neither of us wants me to be here."

"Understatement of the century." he replied bluntly.

The woman patted him on the shoulder in what would have been a friendly way if it hadn't nearly sent him reeling and dug her nails in. "But we ALSO both know you know where the entrance is to the fenton works laboratory. And as I can't simply float in at the moment I think it's in both our best interests for you to just show me how to get in."

"Hmmm, either let a deranged fruit loop where my folk's do all their work at, or bite the bullet and tell nothing? I think I'll go with option B."

"I would EAGERLY watch you try to catch a bullet little Daniel, but that can come later. Show me the entrance or I'll-"

"You'll what? Lecture me? Pinch my cheeks? You haven't used one ghost power since you got here, and I'm willing to bet you CAN'T. You're not getting into that lab without me, which means you're not getting in at all." he spoke firmly while seeing her slowly make a fist with her free hand with her other one digging into his shoulder as she lost her smile.

"I think maybe you should spend some time in your room." she hissed.

Danny blanched. "Wait you can't-"

Veronica's eyes narrowed. "Yes… that much I CAN. and your parents will hear about what a rude little host you've been when you get home."

Danny sagged in defeat and left the room, but at the foot of the stairs he gave his enemy a sharp glare that didn't break once as he climbed.

This wasn't over.

"Danny, Jazz! we're home!"

As Jack and Maddie Fenton walked in they were greeted by their new house guest with a heart slap and light kiss on the cheek.

"Jack, Maddie, how was the drive?"

"Well the good news is we didn't crash, so that's a new record." chuckled Jack.

'A shame.' thought Veronica.

"So did anything exciting happen while we were gone?"

Veronica fought down a wicked smirk as she clasped her hands and set her face in an apologetic pout, like she'd often imagined on his dear Madeline. "There was…. A bit of trouble with Danny, I'm afraid..."

She relished the look of shock on the Fenton's faces and paused to drink it in.

"I… don't think he's handling my stay all that well, we had a bit of an argument, and I HOPE you don't think I overstepped but I sent him to his room."

"Oh no." spoke Maddie with surprise. "Are you sure there wasn't a small mistake? Usually Danny's fine with new guests."

"No" Veronica sighed, biting her lip in what she hoped looked like shame instead of choking back laughter, "I'm afraid it is what it is…. Maybe we could ask him?"

"I agree, I'd like to know just why our son is being rude." spoke Jack firmly. He solemnly shook his head. "I always thought we'd raised him better than that."

Maddie reached up to stroke her husband's arm reassuringly, and Veronica barely managed to avoid retching.

As the Fentons followed their guest upstairs, that feeling was replaced by a predatory hunger. The sweet, impending sensation of turning Daniel's parents against him was more than enough of a balm…..

And then the boy opened an armored door in front of her and stepped out in front of them, looking surprised. Veronica and the Fentons were suddenly brought up short.

"Hello…. Home already?"

"Danny? But.. weren't you… in your room?" Maddie pushed past her house guest, jarring her back to earth.

Veronica watched the door clicked shut and cursed herself for missing her chance. Her eyes narrowed and focused back on Danny. What was the little sneak up too?

"Danny, what were you doing in the lab? Didn't Veronica send you to your room?"

Danny blinked in apparent surprise "No. I had no idea…. We had a bit of an argument and I decided to cool down by cleaning up in the Fenton works. You know, since SHE can't get in I figured it only made sense. I guess she must have missed me… or maybe she forgot to tell me?"

Veronica glowered. Not bad brat….

"Well I'm glad to hear nothing really major happened." Chuckled Jack. "And that you're keeping security in the lab of course". He swept his wife and son into a hug.

"Well yeah, I mean who knows what might happen if just anyone could get inside." Danny gave a smug grin over his parents shoulders, which Veronica met with a silent hiss. Ooh, he would pay for this. The longer he resisted, the greater his suffering would be….. But…. she was glad.

Glad for an opponent of such wit. There was no value in easy victory, and to match wits with Danny was always a worthy test. She quivered in glee, oooh how sweet this victory would be!

Danny watched his old enemy, sure she was already planning his next move… But still, he narrowed his eyes, there were still questions to answer, and he didn't think Vlad knew how. She was sucking on her bottom lip in anticipation of victory, something the old vlad would never do.

Danny had, over several days, sat and watched from the kitchen table, eyes flickering between his mother and the woman trying to wear her face. There were similarities…. Not just in appearance, but in the way they moved and spoke. But... exaggerated. She swung her hips more, bared her chest higher, and spoke with a forced luster. She bent over way too much and…. It was like a fantasy. Like Vlad's fantasy version of Maddie…. And side by side the difference was clear.

Even physically she didn't quite match his mother any more. Her breasts had swollen, her hips grown plusher, and her skin has taken a pale green tilt….

He shook his head and slapped his cheeks. 'Woah there! First off quit staring at her AND your mom dude! Second, quit comparing them! It's even creepier.' he thought with a blush.

Today, though, he wasn't the only one who noticed however. For all her excuses, there was only so much Veronica could hide from the Fentons, who were currently forcing her to take a seat and fussing over her symptoms.

"No, really, I'm fine."

"Relax, we're just going to take your temperature." Said Maddie, in a tone that Danny had long learned no was not an answer. His father, meanwhile, was trying to discreetly run a scanner over their houseguest without looking too worried.

"Wow I don't mean to alarm you," said Jack, barely holding in his alarm, "but you've somehow been saturated with ectoplasmic energies! I've never seen such high readings before, not even from Danny, and he's actually BEEN in the fenton works. There's no telling what this could do to you!" the dam had burst.

"Oh I'm sure it's nothing really bad." she tried to wave off.

"Nonsense. Why your brother received less than half this dose and was in hospital for months!" Maddie said, sighing. Then she paused. "But where could you have gotten it? We've tested for leaks extensively…. You haven't been inside the lab have you?"

"No I…." her eyes darted around, looking for any excuse, landing on Danny. She smirked and-

"No, I checked the monitors." said Danny. "I even had them make recordings, she hasn't been inside at all." he said, and only Veronica heard the smug triumph.

Gnashing her teeth she couldn't hold back a growl…. But paused when she saw the look on her hosts faces. Veronica forced a sigh. "The truth is, it happened before I got here…there was an accident at dear Vladdie's mansion and I got myself caught in an experiment. It's all my fault really, and I didn't want to bother you with it…."

'Oh come on, they're not really gonna believe-'

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Maddie said, giving her a hug "i thought you looked a little swollen, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions". Jack breathed a sigh of relief and Danny…

"Don't worry auntie, I'm sure it wasn't your fault."

Veronica snapped her head towards him to protest, but felt a giant palm slap onto her shoulder.

"He has a point, as much as it pains me to admit it, Vlad was never quite as careful as he should have been." Jack said 'reassuringly'. Beside her, Maddie hummed.

"I've always said he was more to blame than you for that accident in college dear, just sticking his head in like that,"

Veronica could only stare, open mouthed as she tried to find the words. As she tried to speak and talk some sense into these fools Maddie had gently clasped her hands and was already rubbing it in.

"I know you think the world of him, but you don't have to pretend he's better than you. I'm sure you weren't to blame for your condition"

"You think you know a man," Jack sighed "and then you find out he threw his own sister out bursting with spectral radiation. Tragic. Just tragic."

'Oh every word you say Jack is another nail in that oversized FAT coffin!' thought Veronica trying her hardest NOT to jump up and throttle the man. 'It was YOUR fault and this is now! I don't know how, but YOU did this to me!' her eyes slid to Danny and the rage cooled to cold admiration, he'd seen her play coming and cut it off neatly. Admirable effort, but futile once he found a way out of this.

"There's nothing for it, we can't have you going back to that brother of yours for treatment." Jack clapped his hands on her shoulder. "I insist you stay with us until we can get you healthy again."

Veronica let out a sigh while putting on a shy expression. "Well...if you REALLY think I should…"

"Absolutely."

Danny paled at his parents oblivious generosity. He watched as the overstuffed? Oversized? Something about her figure. Sorry. Ghoul was politely denied a hug from his parents and saw her turn to face him. If you have a better way to make curvy sound insulting, please insert it.

"I'm sure little Daniel will be a HUGE help in my condition." Veronica sent him a what was probably meant to be a warm smile in her host's eyes, but reminded him more of a shark… if they had fangs.

"Um…." Danny briefly considered claiming sick himself…. Then realised he'd probably be quarantined alongside Plasmius. "Sure"

"Great! Danny can help you out if you're feeling under the weather or too tired." spoke Jack "Great idea." He said, beaming with pride.

Later, looking back on this, Danny would wish he'd spoken up.

Standing in front of the guest room, Danny sighed into the thermos of tea and bowl of soup he was carrying. He waited a little longer to let them cool, and glumly gathered his focus to face the horror on the other side of the door.

As he entered the room, his fears were realised. Veronica was still wearing the nightgown. A pink one his mom lent her and man oh man was it NOT helping matters. Nor covering NEARLY enough. It was bad enough knowing his mother HAD a gown like that.

"Daaanny." The hostile houseguest purred. Danny winced. Slip-ups had been becoming more and more common recently. If anything the bed rest was making it worse. "I'm waaaaiting."

Please don't be doing the po- she was going the pose. Rolling over to greet him, head in hand and lying on her side, great. Danny grimaced his best grin and tried to ignore the overstretched gown and lay of the house robe. He was fairly sure she'd realised the new power she was doing to him, but Danny suspected her indulgence meant she hadn't stopped to think about what it was doing to her.

"Here's some tea and soup. Fresh and hot, like you wanted." Danny hissed through his teeth.

"Not what i meant" she winked "but thank you". Danny shivered. Veronica smirked.

"If that's all I'll just-"

"Waiiiit."

Danny stopped and sighed at the doorway. Turning around he saw the lodger patting the mattress besides her. Danny walked to her bedside, glaring at her all the while and crossed his arms, refusing to sit down. Veronica gave a light chuckle and shifted, slowly, to give him more space. Danny tired not to notice her hips spilling into the supposed empty space. Bringing his eyes up to meet hers (with a SLIGHT detour) Danny found a smug, doting smile.

"How was your day?"

"Fine."

"Oh, don't be that way. You can tell auntie. She's going to find out anyway."

"You are NOT my-" Danny started, then rolled his eyes. "It's school… there's this girl that…" Danny once again found himself cut off by a sudden rush of flesh to the face. Rolling back, he found himself rising from his aunt's cleavage, only to be pushed back down bya hand to the back of his head.

"Go oooon." She said with fasle sweetness, like nothing had happened. Like she hadn't darted out her leg and hooked him in front behind.

"There's …. " best to get this over with, keep it from getting worse "This girl at school who I'm pretty sure is into me and… I don't know what to do about it. She's REALLY pretty, but I don't know much about her. I don't want to do something wrong." he explained while fighting down a strong blush coming on feeling the breasts.

"Oh, how precious." The over-fleshed fruit loop swooned "My little Danny has a girlfriend." she leaned in with an eager gleam to her eye. "Have made a move? Have you kissed her yet?"

Danny tried to use a hand to push himself away and promptly regretted it when he felt what could only be her thigh.

"You have to be confident in these things, make your intentions known" She was WAY too close now. "Keep them from getting away."

'I feel like a trapped rat right now!'

"Umm…. She's into ME. She ... kinda made out with me for a while… I have no idea how you feel about her honestly." Veronica's eyes sparkled, and Danny felt he'd made a mistake.

"Is that the kind of girl you want Danny? Someone…. assertive?"

'Shit! Quick, say something to turn this around!' he thought in panic. "I-" Once again, he felt the world suddenly move and found himself lying atop his 'aunt' as she hugged him tightly to her chest. He tried to pull himself free but felt her leg lazily pressing into this back.

"Is she the girl for you Danny? Are you sure? You're SO popular with the ladies these days, and one of these days some lucky little missus right is going to snatch you away. Oh it pains me to think of letting you go for ANYTHING less, my little hero, but I'll be here with you every step of the way to ensure you choose…" she chuckled…. And it almost sounded like a throaty purr. "the right one."

"What are you, some kind of expert?" he asked bluntly. Don't blush, don't give her the satisfaction and DON'T ask who she means.

"I have my fair share of experience" She smugly stated with a wink. Veronica shrugged playfully, and Danny wasted no chance in darting free. To his horror, he saw the woman climb out of bed with an exaggerated swing of her legs (and consciously repressed the OTHER thing he saw when she did) and walk over, hand on her hips. "I'm no stranger to romantic conquest Danny, and I've been in this game a good deal longer than you. Besides," She winked, gently cupped her massive chest and slid a hand down her thigh. "I have my advantages. A bit bigger these days, but children will do that to you."

Danny blinked, staring Veronica dead in the eyes "You've NEVER had children."

The transformed Plasmius stopped and looked stricken. "No...No I haven't," she said with a lost stare... before calm confidence flowed back into her voice "not yet anyway."

"Meaning what? You're gonna go off and find another crazed fruit loop and settle down?"

The vladettes eyes gleamed with something foreboding. "Something like that…. I think I'm feeling better today. Thank you for coming by Daniel."

Danny abruptly found himself out the door and standing dazed in the hall. Across, he noticed Jazz staring at him with confusion clear in her expression and sent her a shrug. Her guess was as good as hers.

"He's really lost it huh?"

"Oh yeah."

It was getting harder to ignore her, thought Danny as he came home after another day at school. At first it had been easy to ignore her body, as it was all too easy to see her as either his archenemy Vlad or his own mother, and any attraction was swiftly crushed under a shower of ice down his spine, but lately it was different. The person Vlad used to be was nearly gone, buried under this new persona, and her form had mutated too far to be recognisable as his parent's clone. And as she changed in appearance, so too did she change in personality, becoming flirtier, more playful and bold. He may not, Danny thought as he walked in the front door, be able to resist her for long.

Looking around, Danny was surprised to find no-one greeting him at the door. "Hello?"

"In the kitchen Danny dear!" Came the voice of his carnivorous houseguest. Danny flinched.

"Is… anyone else home?

"No Danny, your parents and Jazz are out tonight, it's just you and me! And I prepared dinnerrrrrr." He Heard her sing from the other room.

Danny cringed. The less time he spent with her, the better. She was planning something, definitely, and a cunning, sadistic foe when given the chance. But, he thought as he walked into the kitchen and this was probably his teenage brain talking, wasn't all that bad besides. The butt was probably a big factor actually, now that he thought about it (and he HAD been thinking about it). Taking it in, he mused, he could almost call it a k-cup, if such a measurement was applicable. Yeah, he'd looked up some measurements, why do you ask? The Veronica unbent from over the stove and turned around to present the dinner she'd cooked. A k-cup AND an M-cup he amended, taking in the breasts as well. The bare, gleaming breasts. It was then that Danny realised she was naked, save the apron. A moment later, he realised he should have been quicker on the upkeep. A moment later he realised she was NAKED and he shouldn't be staring. Finally, he realised she was smirking at him, with a satisfied look.

"What's wrong Danny? Are you that hungry for dinner? Or something else?" she winked making him turn red and avert his eyes while coughing.

"J-Just a long day at school is all."

"Well, don't be shy, dig in. A growing man needs his meat you know." she growled, visibly undressing him in her mind.

Danny bit his lip and sat down, then whimpered as across the table, Veronica hung her apron over the back of the chair and sat down herself.

"Sooo….. Tell me about your day. Any…. big developments?"

She knew what she was doing, Danny grumbled to himself as her shuffled into the table to hide his big development. "N-No, same old same old, you?"

Veronica smiled knowingly and calmly cut into the meal in front of her, her torso swaying JUST slightly. "Not as much as I'd hoped. There's a prize I've had my eye on for some time now that's just…. Tragically out of reach. For now at least."

As much as he wanted to think she was still talking about Maddie, Danny was beginning to take the hint against his will. He gulped.

"Are you alright Danny? You haven't even had a taste yet. And you look SOOOO starved." she smiled.

Danny tried to control his breathing and focus, This was Vlad sitting in front of him. Vlad or his mother, focus on seeing one or the other… this was Vlad, she was cunning and aggressive and knew what she….. HE was doing. That innocent act was possibly the most transparent he'd ever seen. He knew exactly what she wanted. It was his response that was the problem.

Wait…. What she wanted….. What if?

Danny dug into the food with forced ferocity. He shot the Vladette across from him a smirk "You're right, I did need this." and enjoyed her brief moment of confusion. All he had to do was get a moment to himself to ready the ghost-catcher. He could FINALLY end this madness. It'd expose Vlad to the technology, but at this point it was worth the risk. It was worth any risk. Danny wolfed down as hard as he could and pretended Veronica was enjoying the sight because she was proud of her cooking.

When he looked up, the ghastly madame was lounging back on her chair, airing her… everything and clearly enjoying a view of her own. Her meal was gone though… how fast could she swall….. Nope. not going there.

"Well, thanks for that….. I'm just going to….go….. Now." Danny muttered, eyes sliding to the door.

"Are you sure? You look like you can still handle seconds. A nice fullcourse desert."

His chair sounded like nails on a chalkboard and had probably left skid marks as it rocketed free. Danny backed slowly towards the exit and tried to make his best disarming face…. Trouble was he had no idea which face that WAS. Smiling was a bad idea, staring was right out, looking away would leave him defenceless and showing any sign of weakness would be asking for (shudder) care.

"Yeahhhhh…. It's getting late… so why don't you wait here and I'll go get started on some…. Chores….." he trailed off.

"I've prepared a list of things to do."

"In the lab…. Chores in the lab…" he clarified.

"Oh, we can do my list in all sorts of places." She purred, rising up through the table. Her body flickered transparent as the table passed through it, leaving the apron behind.

Danny gulped at the sight of pale, blue-tinted flesh getting closer. "I…. I have to prime the ghost-catcher? That thing which removes possessions and..." he trailed off, seeing her standing before him and found his exit had missed the door. Danny let out a small whimper as he felt the doorway block his retreat.

Veronica's eyes sparkled, and for a second he thought she would take the offer…

"I've got a better prize in mind."

The force of her kiss carried him across the hall and pinned him against the opposite wall. His eyes nearly bulged out of his head, his face went radish red, and he felt a jolt of pleasure go right through his spine. Though whether from the tongue, her flesh pressing his chest to the wall, or the hand lifting him between the legs was unclear.

Veronica seemed just as lost in the moment as him though, and was groaning into his mouth. Her tongue swirled around Danny's own leading to him doing his best NOT to get excited while the woman hummed tasting the saliva while her chest gave Danny's a massage.

After more time than he probably should have, Danny managed to push her away. His inevitable handholds only made her moan louder and gave his high-angle view another problem. "Okay Vlad, this has DEFINITELY gone to your head!"

"Vlad's gone Danny…." the phantom vampiress shivered. Her hands slammed against the wall on either side of his head, and her breasts dug into his palms as she pressed closer. "He tried, but he was beaten by the master. You've won, and now you get your prize" she winked, laying her hands over Danny's. She lightly squeezed, and Danny felt the pliant flesh under his hands.

Danny vaished, quickly as he could, and wrenched himself back through the wall. Gasping for air, he froze as a pair of magnificent globes and a smirking, beautiful face peaked out after him. The halfa darted down the hallway, turning a corner out of sight.

Veronica paused a moment to enjoy the unique sight of blushing red thin air. She pulled back though and let out a sigh before chuckling. She'd seen where he'd run, and it was all the encouragement she needed. "Don't worry Danny, aunty Veronica is coming to get you~"

'Oh man oh man oh man! Kissing Vl-er, Veronica, getting a feel of her breasts, and her feeling my…. now her saying she's my prize?' The phantom teen was rapidly losing track of things. 'I've got to keep calm, get away, get...well, it's not that bad an…. No! No matter how much I'm tempted I….'

Danny looked up and saw the bed. Looking around he saw the satin pillows and the neat and tidy bed of Veronica's room. "...oh" he said aloud. Apparently he HAD decided without realising. He made sure the door was locked while slapping himself in the head, only to notice something poking out from under one of the pillows. As Danny leant over to investigate, he winced as a sudden warm weight covered his back. A familiar hand drifted gently past his eyes and plucked the photograph from the pillow.

"Some of the great commanders would sleep by a photo of their enemy you know." sang the triumphant tone behind him, and the weight on his back shifted. "So did I at first, then it was about getting into character," a hand on his shoulder was gently turning him "then RESISTING character." Ruby red eyes where boring into his own as she slowly, deliberately, tossed the photo over her shoulder. "Then I realised I'd lost… and it became the prize…. Or at least it WAS." she leaned forwards, hands gripping tightly beneath his shoulders and heaved.

Danny landed on the mattress with a bounce, and was greeted by the unhindered sight of his once-enemy's body. Hips each twice the size of her head and bouncy-firm atop plush legs. Breasts nearly thrice the size standing gravity-free, about M size. Pale skin, subtle muscle, long black hair, powerful cheekbones with little fangs and a face distinct enough it wasn't like a bucket of ice water. He could really use one right now. And a smile that was downright predatory.

"I was worried at first… but SOOO happy to see you dashing off towards my room. I just knew I'd find you here, waiting ..." She rubbed her hands together eagerly, and her whole body rippled in anticipation. "Since I found you in my room, it's only fair to let me help you get out of those pesky little clothes."

"No!" said Danny, and she froze. Gulping, the halfa found his voice. "No, just… watch…" The way she lit up was an experience to see. He took off his clothes, as slowly as he could and knew they were both savoring the experience. 'If I'm gonna end up plowing my arch nemesis, I'm at least gonna take my own clothes off.' Danny made himself comfortable on the bed, fully aware of what his movements were doing to her. It was her turn to squirm.

He turned to Veronica and waited…. Making a show of deciding his next move. She was practically bouncing in place as she bit her lip, momentum and all. "Now," he said. "Come here".

He was treated to the sight of Veronica Masters crawling across the mattress, cleavage stroking the sheets below and rear bobbing gently behind her head. She prostated herself before him, cupping herself between the legs as she rolled on her side and gently stroked her breast in circles. "What," Her voice burned with the most aggressive submissive glee he'd ever heard, "would you have me do next, master?".

"Play with yourself, now." he ordered. Danny was…. If he was honest, unsure what to do, but he was going to enjoy this show nonetheless.

The villainess gave a happy gasp, which dissolved into a squeal and moan as the fingers her lower hand rippled. And on her breast, the circling had turned to a gentle squeezing and bouncing motion, Danny noticed. He sat there, watching his 'prize' and wondering what to do next, but forced a stern face when he saw her begin to speed up.

"No… slower." he said, with as much authority as he could. "Don't rush through it, or else."

The motions slowed, and the breathy moans deepened, despite her whimpers. "Or else… what?"

"Well, since you seem to have it handled I might just leave you to your own privacy if you're not up to it."

"NO!" she gasped. Her hands flew to her breasts, and she crossed her legs before him, rubbing them together. Leaning on her elbows she presented herself to her apparent master. "It has to be you!" she moaned. Het fangs dug into her lips, pleasure pooling on her face. "All these years I've battled you, matched wits and might, but I've lost, and I've realised why. I was meant to lose, I was never meant to be a man. I was always meant to be a woman, your woman." She groaned. Behind her, Danny saw the tip of her rear bouncing gently as her legs rubbed together.

"Then do what I said and go slow."

The tyrant brought low quivered in delight. Leaning back, she exposed herself to him completely. Danny drank it in. She was beautiful, pale and shining in the lighting, glistening with excited sweat. This was Veronica…. Once Vlad… quivering in anticipation.

This was his archenemy, brought low beyond belief and completely helpless at his feet. Swearing herself to be his property. This was the bane of his life, holding up her breasts for him to appreciate.

It was time to take his pounds of flesh.

Her eyes gleamed and her face brightened. "Danny dearest…. Are you getting excited?"

Danny didn't even need to look to know what she meant. He could FEEL the tightening of his pants.

"That looks…. Painful…. Sweet Daniel. Oh, what will you do you poor thing?" she said, leaning forwards and only drooling a little.

It WAS actually getting kind of painful. Eyes trained on his soon to be conquest, Danny slowly reached down, unzipped and removed his pants. He watched as she struggled to maintain eye contact, flicked her gaze down and back then watched her eyes widened in a stunned double take. He grinned to himself. Ectoplasm and Fenton genes huh? She wasn't the only one with that.

Veronica was't looking quite so eager now...

"What's the matter v? You're looking nervous."

She looked at him with terrified eyes…. And flushed cheeks. Nervous as she was, it looked like part of her still wanted this.

"Didn't you say you wanted a man? A LOT of man?" this had really turned around. "Or are you not up to it?" he slowly pulled off his boxers and watched her mind make up.

Gulping in anticipation, she opened her mouth and leaned down.

Danny winced when he saw the gleam of her fangs behind the ruby lips but calmed himself down. She'd be experienced enough to work around them…. For her …. First… time….

"Wait," he commanded. She stopped and looked at him, mouth still gaping. "... turn around."

Shivering, she obeyed. Bare back and full moon presented to her man. Danny crawled over slowly, appreciating the view. He placed his hands on her shoulders, feeling her tremble beneath his fingers. Danny paused. "Are… you sure you want this?"

"Take me, take me master!"

"...alright then." Danny mumbled, steadying himself. He was ready…physically, anyway…. He lined up his body and her, felt his tender line up with hers…. And pushed. The woman beneath him gasped, and emboldened him. Danny started to move his hips faster, hearing her gasps rise in a steady pitch and melting into mewling moans. "F-Fuck!" he let out, feeling the soaking wet snatch consume his girth. The flesh quivered around him as he bit back a moan, which only made him more excited.

"I can't… it's too…. DON'T STOP!"

Danny reached around, pulling her closer with each thrust and found his hands drifting apart as he unwittingly grasped the sides of her immense mammaries. While part of him was annoyed he couldn't reach the nipple, most of him was elated at the size of the treasures at his fingertips. They dug in against her soft skin while he grinded the tip of his dick against the walls of the cunt, the pleasure building to a dizzying crescendo. But it wasn't enough. He knew it could be more.

"Hold still." he breathed into her ear, and gently extracted himself. While his new servently patiently trembled Danny slowly crawled around, eyes on his prizes. "Keep your head back, and your mouth open." he commanded, and she obeyed. Danny readied himself on the mattress, and placed his eager manood between her beckoning pillows.

Veronica stared with gleaming eyes. Her breasts were massive, bigger than her head even, but his own ectoplasmic enhancement peaked through (just barely) and stared right back at her face.

"Someone's happy to see you." quipped the dominant halfa. He cupped her breasts to either side, bringing them together. "Remember, head back…" and started thrusting again. It was like a cloud.

Veronica watched the parade of subtle and not-so subtle emotions across her masters face. As much fun as that show was, the real distraction was staring her in the face. And she could tell the pressure was building. She'd been terrified by the sheer size of it, as long as her master's forearm at LEAST! But to have it here in front of her was so… very… tempting… She wanted to kiss it. She wanted to lick it. To swallow it whole and wrestle to keep it down. But… a part of her pride twinged…. She should be pleasing him, enveloping him. And here she couldn't manage the whole thing? Well, she'd see about that. A part of her felt a twinge of shameful glee at her disobedience… most of her just felt stretched for a moment.

Danny watched a billow of mist flow from the woman Plasmius' body. His confusion lasted only a moment, when he heard a soft growling behind him. The second Veronica crawled into view past his peripheral vision, her own eyes trained on the interlocked show. "You sneaky little slut."

She cooed in approval and crawled to herself, face to face. The two women drank in the sight eagerly. They were perfect, the most perfect women imaginable, all of what they'd wanted from that pretender madeline and more, with everything they'd loved about themself. They were the sexiest thing they'd ever seen. Well, maybe second. Their eyes met, and as one, turned to the looming challenge.

Breast met breast, and Danny nearly lost his mind. A cloud beyond compare surrounded him, pressing firmly yet pliant around his thrusts. The two Veronicas leaned eagerly at the sensation, waiting for Danny to peak through and met lips across his tip. He couldn't hold back. He erupted. And the women surrounding threw back their head and basked in it. Danny panted as he took in the sight, the twin beauties glistening in streaks of white. Then they looked at each other, smiled, and their lips met again.

Veronica met Veronica, tumbling to the bed, pressed against one another, body, lips and tongue. Covered in sweat and semen the poltergeists rolled and pressed into one another, until one started to work her way down the other. The Veronica with her back to the bed mewed in approval, rolling her head to Danny only to freeze as her master smirked at her. There was a strange flickering of smoke, and Danny's form seemed to stretch out before her until there was suddenly another Danny standing by the bedside. And another. And another. And another. Even the lower Veronica paused to look, and both whimpered at the sight.

"Not bad…. You've given me an idea…. Now keep going."

The woman on her back shivered, and the copy between her legs went back to it. But they couldn't keep their eyes on one another as the Dannys climbed onto the bed and crawled closer. The clones moved slowly, taking in the sight and taking their place. The original, the REAL master, gripped copy-Veronica firmly by the hips and smirked. The copy shivered, ready for her turn. Danny positioned himself, then started to thrust. Veronica bit her lip, but even that couldn't force back her voice. She was practically swimming in bliss, and

Danny found himself welcomed eagerly instead of the resistance he expected. Beneath him, Veronica moaned nito Veronica and around them the others got into place.

A Danny gently lifted each of her bulging breasts and lifted it to their lips, both pairs, while another positioned himself behind the bouncing, beckoning rear above the original. Veronica found herself gently hoisting into the air before another Danny brought her down to take her from behind. She barely had time to breath between each happy moan. The clone had given her a strong head start, and the Dannys were able to quickly push her to the edge and over.

With a joyous shriek her back arched and she tried to lean into every Danny at once. Her concentration shattered under wave and wave of pleasure and the clone gave way in a burst of ghostly smoke. Veronica moaned at the sudden absence, but Danny quickly leaned in to take her place. She managed to momentarily lift her head and saw the three vacant Danny's lining up and staring her in the eye. Veronica threw her head back and moaned as loud as she could. One of them took her invitation and muffled her screams for her.

The Dannys thrust as hard as they could with no holding back.

Veronica made a moan loud enough to be heard despite the gag and her jaw clenched. The Danny at her mouth gave a pained wince and vanished with a pop. The Danny's all paused for a moment to stare. Veronica moaned in need, but curiously none of them moved any closer to her gleaming fangs.

Her voice grew to a fever pitch as they pounded faster and faster. Then suddenly, she screamed and Danny knew what it was like to feel a woman clench around him. It was incredible. It was overwhelming. And he wasn't far behind. With the feeling of a lifetime, he released inside her.

Spent, he backed out and Veronica groaned in disappointment... Until the next Danny took his place. With the pleasure building up again, higher and higher, the last thing Veronica knew, the last thing any trace of Vlad Plasmius ever knew was Danny kneeling by her head.

"Vlad?" He whispered, and she turned hypnotised at the sound. "I win."

Then the pleasure overtook her and she knew no more.

"Veronica?"

Veronica Masters, heir to the Masters family fortune after her brother's mysterious retirement and unofficial member of the Fenton family greeted Maddie at the door with open arms.

"How's my favorite family doing?" she said with a wide, warm smile and open arms. The confused Maddie returned her hug and quickly regretted it when she found herself swung in enthusiastic circles. Behind her, the stairs creaked under the weight of her husband.

"Did I hear someone at the door honey? Who was... Veronica?"

"Jackie!" she cooed, wrapping the man in a hug and lifting him off the floor in Glee... Half a millimeter, but still. "It's wonderful to see you."

"It's. ..good to see you too. But what are you doing here?"

"I'm a little unclear on that too..." said Maddie, still a little dizzy.

"Well I heard through the grapevine that Danny dearest had his first little girlfriend and I just HAD to meet her"

The doorbell rang, Veronica turned to the door with hungry eyes. When the dark-haired young man stepping through saw her his eyes widened in shock. Behind him, a blond in a cheerleader's Uniform peaked around the corner. "Hello Danny. Is this the girlfriend I've been hearing so much about?"

"Veronica what... Errr, this is Darla, she's new to my school and I've been, showing her around..."

"Hmm..." Her eyes flicked over the girl's face and body. She was VERY well built, if she didn't know better she'd suspect some ectoplasm was involved, "I do hope Danny's been treating you right sweetie" she said, eyes trained on the girl's face. The flush of red told her everything she needed to know... "I taught him EVERYTHING he knows about women you know. ..." her eyes slid over to the mortified Danny, "why don't you both come with me and I can... See how he's been doing..."

Nearby, unheard, the laugh of a wicked genie echoed.
