Not So Happy Endings

"Valerie, you don't have to do this!" Danny pleaded while tied up with a Spectral Rope in the back of Vlad's helecopter.

"Look Danny, Vlad has provided me with the resources to enable me to get revenge on the Ghosts who ruined my life" Valerie cooly responded, "I think I owe him something"

"You paid him back by giving me a hard time," Danny replied nervously, "But what favor are you paying him back for now? Don't you get it Valerie! When Vlad gets me and my mom he's not going to need you to keep me occupied anymore!"

Danny watched as the realization of the situation swept over Valerie's face.

"I feel like a schoolgirl skipping rope!" Vlad declared, unaware he was broadcasting it to the entire state of Colorado.

Valerie seemed to come to her senses after that, "Fine! But don't expect any more favors from me!" and with that she blew a hole in the cocpit door with her Ghost Gun.

Later...

Danny happily sterred the helecoptor back home. He had ridden in it once before with his mom after he defeated Vlad in his Colorado vacation house.

In the back, Valerie was keeping Vlad occupuied with a makeover. Soon, Vlad would feel even more like a schoolgirl.

After a few minutes of trying to locate his house, he finally spotted the heaping mass of gadgets that make up the roof of his house.

"Back you animals! Back!" Jack yelled as he used his wife's Fenton Machete to keep the creatures a good distance away from where Maddie was trying to activate the spectar deflectar so it would blast the monsters out of the building.

Jack felt thorns cut into his back as the claws of the nearest beast treated him like a scratching post.

All of the sudden, the claws disappeared as a spectral of green light forced the creature out of the now giant hole that used to be the door.

When Danny realized what his parents were doing, he stood outside, preparing himself to suck all these creatures into the Fenton Thermos. So once Maddie was able to increase the Spectar Deflectar's area, Danny sucked the beasts into the Thermos. However, not before changing back into Danny Phantom.

He waited a moment and watched as his family crept outside of their ruined house. Vlad and Valerie were gone, Jo had been left on the ground unconcious and was starting to stir, and for once this summer, Danny knew that no matter who decided to visit, life would continue.

One way or the other.
