Wow, I didn't think my story would be such a hit. This is the first fanfic I've ever written that people actually liked. I was so happy that I just had to start the next chapter. First though, I want you to tell me why you decided to read this story so maybe I can use that on my next story. Ok, so first let's go over my reviews.
Kaliann: Actually I had planned a lot of what you said. He probably will enjoy it at Vlad's but not at first, you know. I will try and add something about them respecting Danny too.
Blossoming Orange Rose: Yeah, he might have to convince him to let him train him (wow that was confusing) even if he does enjoy it later. As for Paulina being the mystery ghost, I'm gonna let the reviewers vote on that. Oh, and I can't wait to see that episode.
Keri2004: Thank you for those kind words. Keep with the story and offer any advice you have.
ZAGRH8R: He's Jack's brother. You think that's disturbing? Well, think about if he was Maddie's brother. He loves her after all. Well, that would make him her brother-in-law but still. You get what I'm saying?
Albinoghostgirl04: Do you like to torture people? I don't know if he'll abuse him but he might make him kind of a slave in the beginning.
Well, that's all the reviews for now. Keep in mind that I wrote the responses before I even had the idea for thethis chapter so I might use some of the things. Maybe... well, here goes nothing...hopefully.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own him. I really don't. I can prove it. My name's not Butch Hartman.

Danny was lying with his head down on the lunch table. He hadn't said a word to anyone since he had heard the news about having to go to Vlad's. Sam and Tucker had been trying desperately to cheer him up but even though they didn't know Vlad, they knew enough about him to know there was nothing they could say or do to cheer Danny up right now. There was nothing they could say and nothing Danny could do. His parents had made it very clear that their minds had been made up and nothing was going to change it. He would either have to go to Vlad's or die and right now, he was kinda hoping for the second one. He knew there was nothing he could do though and there wasn't enough time to think of anything. This would be his last day of school. Tomorrow he would pack and then he would leave the next day.
"Danny," Sam said quietly. He didn't even look up. She sighed and went back to her food. She didn't want to start something like what had happened on the way to lunch.
Flashback
The bell rang and Danny, Sam, and Tucker came slowly out of class. They were trying to cheer Danny up with no luck.
Danny opened his locker so forcefully he almost broke the door off. Dash just happened to walk by when Danny was at his worst mood. News had gotten around fast that Danny was leaving though no one could figure out how anyone heard about it.
"Hey Fentino!" Dash yelled at Danny. "Heard you're leaving. Guess I'll have to find a new punching bag. How about one of your little girlfriends?"
Tucker looked super annoyed and Sam blushed slightly. Danny slammed his locker shut without ever looking up. Dash looked a little startled at Danny's reaction but quickly recovered. Danny looked at Dash but quickly walked by him pushing him in the nearest locker. Sam and Tucker were shocked but not nearly as shocked as Dash. Dash had avoided Danny after that.
End Flashback
Sam couldn't resist smiling at the memory. Danny had given Dash a taste of his own medicine. Her smile quickly faded though when the bell rang. Danny put his untouched tray in the trash while Sam and Tucker followed behind. They had given up trying to cheer him up. There was absolutely nothing they could do.

After the last bell had rang, Danny went to clean out his locker. He had never noticed how much of a mess it was until now. He sighed and got to work now regretting he had been acting so sour towards Sam and Tuck. They could've helped him but they had gone home. He was glad they were going to help him pack tomorrow after school though. It was going to take all day even with their help.
He went through every piece of trash and other junk he had separately, trying to decide what to keep and throw away. He found a lot of stuff he didn't even know he had put in there.
Once his locker was spotless, he slung his bag over his shoulder and headed for home. He walked as slowly as he could. He didn't want to face his parents right now. He was super mad at them. There didn't seem to be any hesitation in this choice. It made him wonder how much they really cared about him.
Jazz smiled weakly at him as he went up the stairs to his room. He didn't return the smile. He dropped his bag on his bed and sat down. He looked around at all the stuff he'd have to pack.
He stayed in his room all night and didn't even come down for dinner. Two nights in a row he'd missed dinner but he didn't really care.

Sam and Tuck came up to help Danny pack after school. He had already packed three suitcases but still had two more to fill.
"Hey Danny," Tucker said. "So how's the packing coming along?"
"I have more stuff than I thought," Danny replied. His friends were glad to see he was in a slightly better mood than yesterday. He still wasn't in a very good mood though but at least he would talk to them and even smiled a few times.
"Man, Danny," Sam said, "I think you have more stuff in your room than me and that's saying something."
"Like father like son I suppose, right Danny?" Tuck said.
"I guess so," Danny said. He was feeling a lot better though he really couldn't explain why. He was still upset about going to live with Vlad but it really didn't bother him too much anymore. He had a good time with his friends and tried not to think about whether or not he'd ever see them again.

The alarm clock blared in his ears though not as loud as usual for all the tape covering it that had been used to fix it. Danny knocked it on the floor and it immediately stopped. He dragged himself out of bed and slowly got dressed.
After breakfast, Sam and Tuck were waiting outside for him. His dad was packing the last of his bags into the Fenton RV. Danny made a quick check to make sure the Fenton Thermos was with his stuff.
Now for the time he had most dreaded...good-byes. First was Tucker.
"Bye man," Tuck said. "I'm really gonna miss you." After a second's hesitation, they hugged for a second. Now for Sam.
She didn't say anything and they quickly hugged.
Now it was Maddie's turn to talk. Her and Jazz weren't coming with them.
"Don't worry Danny," she said. "We're going to be up to visit at least once every month." She turned her attention to Sam and Tuck. "And you're welcome to come with us when we do." They nodded and Jack started up the RV.
Danny climbed in the RV and waved at his friends and family one last time. Jack stepped on the acceleration and they sped off down the road.

After a long drive, the mansion, which looked more like a castle, finally came into view. Danny was surprised to feel a burst of excitement as they came closer.
They drove through the gate and up to the door. Vlad was standing in the shadows, waiting.
Jack jumped out of the car and grabbed three of the bags at once. He carried them inside leaving Danny and Vlad alone for a few minutes. Danny glared at Vlad, the sudden burst of excitement gone. Vlad just chuckled.
"You're going to have a good time here this year, nephew."
Danny gulped.

Whew, that was pretty long. At least it was for me. I usually write pretty short chapters. Usually they're only about 600 words long. Well, anyway, I want all you reviewers to vote on something. Do you want the mystery ghost to be Paulina or someone else? That said, I hope you liked this chapter. Don't worry if it seems boring right now. It'll get interesting now that he's at Vlad's. Stay tuned. Bye!
