LAST TIME ON STUBBORN IN LOVE

Danny, his family (not including his sister) and friends Tuck and Sam all joined his mother in visiting Vlad. And she showed him a paper that cause him to not even notice Madde held his hand O.O THE SUSPENSE OF IT ALL! Yeah… and just a note… It's Sunday… and my brain is really weird on Sundays… so please excuse the reeeally bad details here… Ooh you find out who da girl is! X3 yay!

Be warned…………..It's a REALLY LONG CHAPTER!

…………………………………………

"Madde I- I can't believe I forgot." He buried his face in his hands. Madde gave him a friendly on his shoulder.

"It's alright. It was a long time ago so I don't blame you for forgetting. I'm sure you didn't mean to forget, Vlad." He sighed, finally noticing she was holding his hand.

"Yes. Now… Where were we?" He began to lean again. Danny growled. He became invisible and began to float towards Vlad and his mother. He decided dive under, but not right before his mother spoke up.

"You were going to let Jack in. You shut him out again." She stated. Vlad blinked.

"Oh yes… How COULD I forget about Jack?" He stood jerkily and walked reluctantly towards the door to let Jack in… Danny flew silently outside to join Sam and Tuck.

"Okay, there was something that Vlad forgot. It must be really important…" He thought out loud.

"But how could you tell, Danny?" Sam questioned as he landed next to her and de-ghosted him self.

"Well my mom held his hand and he didn't even notice." Tuck gasped.

"Oh wow! Yeah it must be important then." They all laughed and walked towards the front door where Danny's mother called them to come inside.

…………………………….

He tossed and turned in his sleep. Groaning and moaning, he looked almost like a child squirming from a nightmare. A pale figure stood in his doorway. Staring.

Danny chilled. His blue breath of ghost-sense escaped his mouth. He gasped and arose. He stepped out in the hallway. He looked down to his left, then right, and saw what he thought was a little girl.

'Right by Vlad's room? What the-?' He began to walk towards her down the hallway.

The ghostly figure silently crept towards his bedside. She reached out a pale hand and placed it gently on his face. Then stroked his hair twice.

Vlad sat up in his sleep screaming happily.

"YES, MADDE! I LOVE YOU TOO!" Then got back the look of daze on his face and fell back into his happy little dream world. The girl sat against the wall with her hand over her heart breathing heavily with a frightened look on her face. She heard footsteps and remained quiet.

"Uh… excuse me?" Danny asked the girl. She stayed still, not knowing it was her he was talking to. He went to tap her shoulder but his hand slipped right through hers. He gave a quick gasp. She finally looked up at him. He got a quick glance at her. She had white, faintly tinted wavy brown hair that was down to her shoulders. She looked around his age… Her pale blue eyes looked at him shocked. Then 'pop ' . . . she was gone . . .

"What the-? Was she a ghost?" He heard Vlad groan. Danny began to go-ghost and zoomed out of there before Vlad opened his eyes slightly and swooned.

"Oh yes, Madde… I would love more lemonade…" (I'M SUCH A FREAK! I make Vlad a freak! Gah!)

………………………

"Are you sure she was a ghost?" Tuck asked. Danny nodded his head.

"What human can go 'pop' then be gone? Besides I couldn't feel her either. My hand went right through her." Sam thought for a moment.

"What did you say she was doing?" She asked.

"I saw her first by Vlad's room, then in his room, she was next to his bed stroking his hair, he shouted and she jumped back surprised. That's when I got her attention." Tuck held back a laugh.

"She… she was stroking his hair!"

"She must have some connection to him then. Like a sister or relative." Sam stated. Danny thought about it.

"No… I don't think so. Mom says he has no siblings. And she had no resemblance to him what so ever. It could have been something else."

"Could it be… a crush?" Sam thought. Tuck and Danny turned and stared for a view seconds. Then laughed. Sam blushed.

"What is so funny?" She yelled.

"S-someone having a crush on Vlad! That's hilarious!" Tuck laughed between words. Just then, two apples from the apple tree they were sitting under fell on Tuck and Danny's heads. Knocking them out. Sam splashed some water on them to wake them up. Danny groaned.

"I think you angered the spirit, Danny." She laughed. He rubbed his head where a minor bump had formed.

"How about we try to catch her tonight and ask her questions?" He asked.

"But how?" Tucker asked when he finally regained consciousness. Danny smirked.

"Here's the plan…"

……………………………

They crept out of Danny's room that night, and head toward Vlad's room. Danny had them all invisible so they could sneak up to the unknown girl. The stopped with a jerk as they saw what was happening. All with a ghastly, shocked, or disgusted look on their faces. The girl was sitting on Vlad's stomach, with her hands on his shoulders, and her face inches in front of his. They could hear Vlad mumbling something about Madde and kissing him. (Yup… I make him a freak! Don't hate me!)

They all mentally screamed mentally and rushed toward her. She barely had noticed them when she realized she was in a net! Sam quickly put on the ear pieces on Vlad so they block out ghost noise so he couldn't hear her screaming nasty words to them and demanding to let her go. They ran out and into Danny's room. The girl was still screaming at them. They finally found her mouth and covered it. So all her yelling was muffled and quiet.

"Please we don't want to hurt you! Will you just listen to me?" Danny was still a ghost when she realized who he was. A muffled noise that sounded like talking. Danny lift his hands off of her mouth after telling her she could not yell anymore. She nodded in agreement, and sighed.

"What do you want?" She glared at all three of them.

"We just want some answers, that's all." Sam told her.

"What for?" The girl snapped back. "I have no information that you need to know about!" Danny growled.

"Yes you do. How do you know Vlad?" Her pale white face blushed pink.

"… Do you want the whole story or just how I know him?"

"How about the whole story. Those usually explain things better." She sighed, and reluctantly began her tale

"I was fourteen. We were supposed to visit someone in the nearby collage to observe what good education could have in store for us. I was assigned to a person named 'Jack Fenton' who was in charge of the science area. He had two helpers. Their names were Madde and," She sighed"Vlad Plasmius.

"When I got introduced to Jack, it was a little… weird you could say?"

………………………………Transfer into Flashback story mode! WHOO CHA! (Attempted karate noises…) Gah! (Gets pummeled as she's attacked by annoyed fans)

She walked, uncertain, into the big white room. Her shoulder length auburn hair was put up in a ponytail. She wore a plain black tee with olive green cargo pants. Looking around the vast room she observed were rows of black tables. Test tubes, and beakers were almost decoratively set up on stands. She stood staring in awe.

"Wow… this place is huge! And shiny!" She commented. Trotting over to the other side of the room, she decided to look what was in the tubes. She placed her backpack on the floor next to her and wandered around some more. As she leaned backwards on a nearby cabinet, her hand landed on some papers. Picking them up she began to read them.

"Proto-portal Notes and Ideas…" She skimmed through them, seeing rough sketches of different machines. "What the-? Ghosts? They're trying to open a portal to a 'Ghost Zone'? That's hilarious!" She was interrupted by a smooth, almost sly voice coming from almost directly behind her.

"Hilarious as it may be, I wouldn't say that to Jack, himself." She gave a squeak scream and turned. She saw a man with black hair neatly combed back, with a little ponytail. (I don't think that's what he looked like… but oh well… I like him with his ponytail.) He was standing there with his arms crossed looking slightly cross. His Her face turned beet red she looked down to the floor hoping her bangs covered her face enough to where he couldn't see her red face. He arched an eyebrow.

"Are you alright? You don't look to well." He asked, with a slight sound of concern. She stuttered, and managed to say a few words.

"O-oh I'm f-f-fine!" She exclaimed. A loud bang interrupted them. The mans face then became annoyed as the girl noticed a fairly large man, followed by a delicate, but strong looking woman enter the room.

"V-MAN! What are you doing crouching down over there? We need to get ready for that kid to come-!" He peered behind the man and stared right into the girl's eyes.

"H-hi. I think I'm that 'kid' your talking about, sir." She managed to squeak.

"Well then!" He shouted as he scooped her up in his big arms. She gave a surprised yelp as he greeted her with a giant bear hug! "WELCOME TO THE SCIENCE LAB- … What's your name kid?" He asked, lookin down at the clearly exhausted girl who looked dizzy and a little absent minded.

"A-Alex-"

"GREAT TO MEET YA, GAL!" He gave her another hug. She just hung there gasping for breath. The woman that came in with him gasped.

"Jack! Put her down! She looks like she's going to collapse!"

"Awww, Madde. Do I have to? She's very huggable." He finally put her on the floor where she wobbled for a moment.

"So you'reJack Fenton?" She asked. He nodded his head with an almost innocent, childish grin. She smiled back and held out her hand. "Great to meet ya too!" He grinned, gripped her hand tightly, and practically shook her arm out of her socket.

"Hi, sweetie. My name is Madde. It's very nice to have you here with us." She smiled sweetly and also shook Alex's hand. "And that's Vlad." He turned to the girl and gave a small smirk.

"Oh we met. Just not by name." He took his hand in hers and gave it a small polite greeting kiss. Her face turned red again. "Nice to meet you, again."

"N-nice to m-meet you… again… too" She chuckled softly and shook his hand.

…………………………………………………Out of Flash back mode.

"They showed me a ton of things. We were supposed to only be with our collage groups for two weeks, but they wanted me to stay longer. So I came over every day after school, or when ever I could anyway. They were like family to me. I lived with my dad and let me tell you, he didn't care where I was at anytime as long as I wasn't doing drugs or alcohol or something like that. They even got me out of class sometimes. Every time I saw Vlad… I don't know my heart raced. Even though he did nothing to show any affection toward me… I liked him… a LOT. But I realized that he had a crush on Madde… That made me a little jealous. Then one day something happened…

…………………………………………………Back to flash back mode.

She walked into the science room again inhaling its odd odors. It had been almost a year since she first walked in. She noticed at the end of the room a cloth that was obviously covering something. She walked over started to take of the cloth. It was then she saw some paper right next to it. She picked them up.

"Hey! These are the plans for that 'proto-portal' thing. Then this must be-" She lift the rest of the cloth off. It revealed a mirror shaped machine. "…It." She finished. Just looking at it made her feel… weird. She observed it closely, and gave it a poke. A little ting was heard behind it.

"Oh crap…" She looked around it and saw a little green wire with a metal tip on the end, lying there on the table. She picked it up, not knowing what to do with it. Then she heard it… voices… She quickly stuffed the wire back and ran hiding behind a big cabinet out of the people's view.

She peered around the corner into the science room as the three students hovered around some complex looking equipment that resembled a mirror but without the glass. Her eyes squinted, as if hoping to get a better view. She heard them talking.

'Sounds like something about ghosts . . .I was right! That is the ghost thingie!' She thought.

"I'm telling you, Jack, IT WON'T WORK!" Vlad shouted.

"Bogus, V-man! It totally will! This proto-portal is guaranteed to bust open the wall into the ghost dimension!." Jack puffed out his chest triumphantly, holding a little remote in his left hand. The red-brown haired girl next to him sighed. Vlad Plasmius also sighed, but in a different tone as hers, only for a moment. Then he resumed glaring at the anxious Jack who seemed to hop up and down in excitement.

'He's like a child… mentally that is…' He thought… He turned his head slightly behind him. Facing the door, he searched with his eyes, and then decided that he heard nothing, and turned back. The girl's heart raced.

'That was close. Now for-' She began to turn to resume observing.

"Jack, these calculations aren't right!" Madde looked over some notes that were scattered on the table behind them.

"BANZAI!" He shouted. His index finger slammed down on the big red button placed in the middle of the remote. A green blast of energy shot out of the 'mirror'! Maddie and Jack were barely out of its way, but it shot through Vlad's face and directly toward the girl……………………………………
