Another boring day in Uncle Vlad's mansion...Crystal Plasmius thought as she lazily walked through the corridors. Suddenly, she heard thumps and crashes coming from her uncle's lab.

Oh, what is he doing now? Summoning another ghost to help "test" that ghost boy he's been talking about for ages? she thought, rolling her eyes. She turned into her ghost form and floated to the lab a few doors down.

I swear! Vlad need to see a psychiatrist or something. He's beginning to get WAY too...

But she stopped abruptly when a boy was thrown through the wall. He lay there, blinking once, and losing consciousness. It was the ghost boy. Just then, her uncle drifted through the hole in his ghost form.

"Crystal!" he hissed when he saw her. "Get out of here."

"Why? The kid's unconscious anyway..." Just then, Danny tuned into his regular form.

"It's...it's Jack's son!" Vlad exclaimed. Crystal raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, isn't he the guy who turned you into...that?" she asked, motioning to Vlad with her hand.

"Yes..." he said, turning back into his regular form. "And I believe this is going to work out perfectly..."

"What do you mean?" Crystal asked. He ignored her question.

"Take the boy to his room. Don't awake him." He turned on his heel and left. Crystal sighed and put her hand on Danny's shoulder, phasing him and herself down a few floors into his room. She laid him gently onto his bed. Danny stirred a little. Crystal quickly became invisible. He started to cry out and yell. Crystal decided that this was a good time to go, so she sank down through the floor, and into her room which was right below Danny's.

"Are you alright, Danny?" Crystal heard Vlad say. "I heard yelling..."

"Uh...yah," she heard Danny reply. "I just had a bad dream. Sorry if I disturbed you."

"No no. It's quite alright. Good night."

Crystal heard the door close and the ruffling of blankets as Danny went back to sleep. She went to her own bed and lay down.

"Wonder what Uncle Vlad has planned for this kid," she asked herself out loud.

"Well, I'll tell you," Plasmius said as he floated through her door.

"Don't you ever knock?" she asked grumpily. He ignored the comment.

"To answer your question, Danny is inexperienced with his powers. He needs an older..."

"...wiser person to teach him how to control his gifts," Crystal finished. "You told me this a thousand times. But now that you know that he's Mr. Fenton's son, what are you going to do? That was my question."

"Oh," Vlad said, looking a little flustered. "Well...you'll see. Just...don't get in the way."

"Yah, yah. Okay. Now, can I get some sleep?" she asked. Vlad nodded and walked out the door.

That Danny has no idea what refusing my uncle means...Crystal thought as she drifted off to sleep.
