Crystal woke the in the middle of the night when Vlad Masters walked into her room.

"What now?" she asked groggily.

"I have a plan," Vlad said, his eyes flashing menacingly. Crystal sat up and yawned.

"And that would be...?"

"You, my dear."

"Me?" she asked. "Why?"

"It's perfect!" Vlad said, smiling. "You, Crystal, will be the perfect trap for the boy."

"Okay, so tell me how," she asked, yawning again. "So I can get back to bed."

"I need you to...charm him, make him trust you."

"You mean flirt?"

"Exactly."

"Do you want me to show that I'm a hybrid, too?" she asked. Vlad pondered that for a minute.

"Yes..." he said slowly. "Yes, do that. He'll trust you even more. But don't show him immediately. Make it seem like an accident."

"Okay," she said, yawning once more, and crawling under her covers. "Well, I do it in the morning." Vlad nodded and walked out of the room.

When Danny woke up the next morning, he instantly remembered the events from last night.

But what if it was just a dream? he thought. What if there is a guy who wants to get me on his side to be a sidekick...or something like that.

But he shrugged off these thoughts and got dressed. He walked out of the room, set to explore the huge house.

When he got to a huge library, he found Jazz lounging in a large armchair. She was reading a huge book. Danny saw that the title was "Everything You Need to Know about Psychology and More." He raised an eyebrow and grinned. Jazz looked up from the book, and gave him her infamous 'leave me alone...NOW' glare. Danny got the hint and quickly left the room.

Just as he walked out, though, he spotted a girl about his age about to round a corner.

"Hey!" he called, running after her. Strangely, a small whiff of ice blue smoke came out of his mouth just as she turned around.

"Oh great. Another ghost," he muttered to himself. But the girl didn't LOOK like a ghost. She looked perfectly tangible. She had brown eyes and hair and was about 2 inches shorter then him.

"Uh...hi. I haven't seen you around here before," Danny said. "Are your parents here for the reunion?"

"Uh, no," the girl said. "Actually, I'm Vlad Master's niece. I live here. My name's Crystal."

"I'm Danny. Danny Fenton. My dad used to be real good friends with your uncle."

"Really? Hmm. He never mentioned the name Fenton before," she said, shrugging. "Oh well. Hey, do you want me to give you the 'grand tour' of the mansion?"

"Sure."
