Mina: I know that the last chapter was just about them getting ready to go to Vlad's house but this chapter will be much better…I hope. I do not own Danny Phantom.
The car ride was a very long one with one stop overnight. Unlike the last time the Fenton's had gone to Vlad's house they had to stop at a hotel and stay in some rooms overnight. It was very tough for Danny to travel but eventually on their second day they arrived at Vlad's house. This wasn't the same mansion that the Fenton's had gone to for the family reunion because that mansion had been blown up along with Vlad's ghost portal. This was the mansion that Danny and Maddie had gone to when their pilot had ejected them from their plane. It was remote but very big, and very beautiful. Vlad was waiting for them at the door.
"Come in, come in," Vlad told them. "I'll have a maid take Daniel up to his room."
While a maid stepped forward and took Danny up to his room the others followed Vlad into the house. They stayed in the living room for a while and then Cana, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie followed a maid to their rooms. They then found Danny's room but when they checked up on him he was sleeping.
"So…what do you want to do?" Valerie asked.
"We could explore the mansion," Cana responded.
"Sure! Sounds like a great idea!" Valerie responded and then turned to walk down the hallway.
"We can look for Vlad's lab and look for the cure to Danny's sickness," Cana whispered to Sam and Tucker who nodded.
They walked to the end of the hallway and stopped when they reached an area in which they could either turn right or left.
"Which way do you want to go?" Valerie asked.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Cana said and then under her breath said, "even though mine is much better." Then Cana said, loud enough for the others to hear, "How about left?"
The group turned left and walked down the hall for a little bit. On the right hand side of the hallway there was an open door. When the group looked into the room they saw an arcade which had numerous games including DDR, Pac-man, and air hockey. The group stayed there for a while and played some games. Sam and Tucker were impatient to get on with looking for Vlad's lab and the cure for Danny but Cana told them that they had to make it look as if all they were doing was exploring so Valerie would not get suspicious.
After a little while the group headed back out into the hallway and walked a little more down to where there was another open door. When they looked in here they saw a movie theater. There were tons of seats and popcorn and soda machines. Lined along one wall was a huge selection of movies.
"Let's pick out a movie to watch!" Valerie said in excitement.
"I don't really feel like watching a movie right now," Cana said, trying to sound sorry. "How about we come back later?"
"Fine," Valerie responded, a little disappointed.
They went back into the hallway and walked down to the end of it. There was a door at the end of the hallway right on the turn and they decided to open it. Inside was a laboratory. Tons and tons of beakers lined the counters. At one end of the room there was a ghost portal and more importantly, on a counter that was empty all except for it, was a single beaker filled with a liquid. They walked in and inspected the lab closer. Cana walked over to the counter with the single beaker on it and found out that it was exactly what they were looking for. She motioned over to Sam and Tucker who quickly came over to her.
"I think that this may be the cure," she told them in a whisper so that Valerie wouldn't hear.
"Then let's take it," Tucker said.
"I don't think we should. We can come back later once we figure out how to take it without Vlad suspecting that it's us," Cana replied. Louder she said, "I don't think we should be in here. This must be Vlad's private lab and he wouldn't want us to mess anything up."
They all exited the room and finished turning the corner into another hallway. Cana let Valerie take the lead. Valerie led them to the next door which, once opened, revealed an indoor swimming pool. The next door that they opened contained a bowling alley. They played one game of bowling and then moved on to the next door. Inside this door was a huge library. They decided not to go in there and moved on to the next door. Cana was now a little nervous about where Valerie was leading them but there was no way she could change their direction without looking suspicious.
They walked up to the next door and Valerie opened it. Inside they saw a huge room. They walked into the room to look around. The room looked like a bedroom with a bed on one side and a desk with a computer against one of the walls. There was also a sofa and opposite that a TV with every known game system hooked up to it. There was also a huge closet which, when opened, revealed tons of girl's clothing. There was also a bathroom connected to the room and only that room. Inside the bathroom there were the usual things, a shower, a toilet, and a sink, but there was also a table with a brush on it and lots of make up and hair dye. This room even had a balcony. The only thing missing from the room was a phone.
"What the heck? Why does Vlad have this in his house?" Valerie asked.
"You think we have any idea?" Sam asked.
"Well…hmmm…maybe Vlad created this to feel like he has someone in his life. I mean…he did lose the love of his life to Danny's dad and maybe he created this room so that he could imagine he had a daughter and that he was married to Danny's mom. He probably has another room in this house just like this but with boy stuff," Cana said as an explanation.
"Weird. What makes you think that?" Valerie asked.
"Vlad's a weird guy. If he doesn't want to do internet dating or get a cat maybe this is what he considers as an alternative. I'm just trying to be creative here!" Cana replied.
The group, after accepting Cana's crazy theory, walked out of the room. They decided to go and watch a move in the big movie theater. Cana told them she would catch up with them later. She told them that she was going to check on Danny.
After the movie was over Sam, Tucker, and Valerie walked back to Danny's room. They found Cana in there but Danny was still asleep.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Cana exclaimed while holding out a photo. The photo was a picture of Vlad and Maddie with a teenage girl in the middle. This girl had red hair and blue eyes. She looked like a mix between Vlad and Maddie.
"What is that?" Tucker asked.
"I think he created a photo of him, Danny's mom, and his mythical daughter. She looks like a cross between Vlad and Danny's mom," Cana explained.
"So your theory was right," Sam said.
"I guess," Cana replied.
"Where did you find that?" Valerie asked Cana.
"In a family room that I found on the way back to Danny's room. I took a different route and got kind of lost and stumbled upon it," Cana told them.
Valerie decided to go back to her room at this moment and that left Cana, Sam, and Tucker alone with the sleeping Danny.
"Have you thought of a way to get the cure?" Sam asked Cana.
"I think I have a vague idea," Cana replied.
"What is it?" Tucker asked.
"I need time to think about it," Cana told them. "I'll think about it while I'm falling asleep."
Sam and Tucker went back to their rooms. Just as Cana was about to leave the room, Danny moaned a little in his sleep. Hold on Danny. By tomorrow you'll have that cure! I promise. Cana thought and then left the room and went to her room to sleep.
