The Arrival

Vlad Masters rode in the back of his limousine on the way to Amity Park. The Green Bay Packers game was on, though he wasn't really watching it on his mini television. Instead, he was thinking of his family. First of all, his parents, Christina and Derek Masters, had indeed been like Jack and Maddie and had been obsessed with ghosts. Vlad had somewhat started to believe in ghosts, though his brother, Jet, never accepted the fact that they might be real. The unfortunate thing was that their parents had been murdered by evil ghosts back when Vlad and Jet were only fourteen, leaving them orphans. Vlad tried to tell his brother the truth about how their parents died, Jet wouldn't believe it. He stuck with the thought of them being in a car accident. That was what all the police reports said, anyway. Only Vlad knew the truth, and he tried to run away from ghosts and other paranormal things. Then came collage. Jet had gone to one way out in West Virginia while Vlad stayed in Wisconsin. It was there where he met up with Jack Fenton, who brought up memories of his past. The only reason he hung out with Jack was to get closer to Maddie. Well, that portal that Jack made had turned Vlad half ghost and he had to accept it. Vlad was still on an ongoing mission to find his parent's murderers. He leaned back and sighed. What would happen if ghosts had not ruined my life? Or if I never met up with Jack? Well, he would never know, unfortunately. The game was still on, with the Packers ahead by thirteen, in the fourth quarter. Vlad leaned back and relaxed; as he watched his favorite team beat the living crap out of the Rams.

For Danny, the next few days went by as normal, with nothing unusual happening, except a new ghost showed up for him to fight. On the morning of the fourth day, Danny awoke to the sound of a car engine. He was naturally curious, noticing the clock read 5:51AM, and almost fell back asleep. But curiosity got the best of him and he got up and dressed in his usual white shirt with the red oval and blue jeans. When he got downstairs, he noticed a black stretch limousine sitting in front of his house. What the heck? Whose could that be? So he decided to go outside to see what was going on. He gasped as he saw the occupant of the limo. Vlad Masters. He should have known. Danny tried to creep back inside, but his parents, who were already chatting with Vlad and some other guy Danny recognized as their neighbor, called him over. He tried his best to smile and went over to the group.

"Good morning, Danny! I see you're finally up and out of bed!" exclaimed Maddie Fenton.

"Yeah," replied Danny, not as cheerfully.

"Hello Daniel, how are you today?" asked Vlad.

"Fine," said Danny.

"That's good," replied Vlad. "Oh, and this is my brother, Jet. He seems to be your next door neighbor."

"Um, hi," said Danny, looking at the middle-aged man who certainly had a bit of resemblance to Vlad. He had white hair, though not as long as his brother's. It was about shoulder length. The only other difference between them was the suit; Vlad's was black while Jet's was navy blue. Danny wondered how he had never noticed his neighbor's similarity to Vlad before.

"Hello," said Jet, staring at Danny, thinking he had seen him somewhere before… besides being neighbors and all. Maybe… nah, couldn't be.

"So, now that we're all introduced how about we go in and see my latest invention!" said Jack, obviously happy that there were two more people to see his creations.

"What kind of inventions do you make?" asked Jet, though he already had an idea.

"Ghost! I even have a portal that connects our world to the ghost world. Maddie and I constantly work on improving our inventions," said Jack proudly.

Jet started laughing, "Ghosts aren't real!"

"They are too!" exclaimed Jack, looking a bit hurt.

Vlad and Danny exchanged glances of understanding; though Vlad was a bit surprised his brother didn't believe in ghosts. Danny just wanted to get back inside and away from this conversation.

"Hey, I'm sorry," said Jet sincerely, "I didn't know you thought so highly of ghosts. Sure I'll go see your inventions."

"Really? Follow me!" said Jack, completely forgetting the incident just seconds before. Danny shook his head at his dad's forgetfulness, and tried to stand as far away from Vlad as he possibly could, as they made their way into the house holding the words 'Fenton Works' on a huge sign above it.

There you go! Chapter two! I actually feel sort of sad for Vlad... please R&R!
