Before Lucy Woke Up...
Danny started to fly home. He was exhausted.
Unfortunately, Bertrand Escaped from the ghost zone, his shapeshifting powers making him almost impossible to find. But once Danny did find him, it was one o'clock in the morning...
Danny was just about to turn onto his street when a stream of ectoplasm nearly missed hitting him. He looked up to see Valerie Gray in her ghost hunting attire, a laser cannon aimed right at him.
"You may be tired ghost boy! But I had Eight cups of coffee!" Valerie laughed manically and shot her laser up in the air.
"Why am I not surprised?" Danny said sleepily to himself as he flew as fast as he could away from the caffine-high Valerie.
While this was happening, Vlad was watching with keen interest. It was he who gave Valerie the ghost hunting gear (except for the outfit) and was hoping she would catch Danny for him.
But after watching for a few minutes, it was clear to Vlad that Valerie was to Perky at the moment to do anything. So he transformed into his alter-ego, Vlad Plasmius, and flew right in from of Danny.
"Danny Please reconsider," Vlad said loudly, trying to keep Danny from falling asleep in mid-air, "Join me! You won't have a bumbling idiot for a father anymore, and Your mother would be much happier with me! if it makes a difference I'll let Jazz come too."
"What are the words I'm looking for... Oh Yeah! It's called Internet Dating!" Danny said enthusiastically, though he was in danger of falling asleep, "My mom is happy and Jazz is too smart to fall for your tricks!"
Meanwhile, Valerie had stopped laughing long enough to hear what was being said. Once she heard the name Jazz mentioned, she froze stock still. If the "Jazz" their talking about is Jazz Fenton... Valerie thought aniously and quickly, That means that ghost kid is Danny Fenton
By the time Valerie looked back down, Danny and Vlad were shooting lasers at each other. Thinking on impulse, Valerie decided to check if Danny was home (He should be since it was 1:15 in the morning), And if he wasn't, her suspicions would be confirmed.
