Chapter 7: Rescue
"Maddie, dear, do you love me?"
"Oh, yes, Vladdie," she cooed, "I love you so much."
"Would you care to get me a drink?"
"Oh, anything for you, Vladdie." She walked out of the room.
Danny took this chance to snatch her. He took her back to the group. "Keep an eye on her. I'm going to find that hypnotizing thing."
"I'm going with you!" Sam piped up. "It was my idea in the first place, and you'll need my help."
"Okay, fine." He grabbed her hand and went intangible through to the next room. "Where do you think it would be?"
"Does Vlad have a lab?"
"Let go of me!" Chloe slapped a hand over Maddie's mouth. "Mmm hmm mmmhmm!"
"Wow, she's obsessed with Vlad. I hope Danny find s that hypnosis thing soon," Clark said.
Maddie elbowed Chloe hard in the stomach. "Ow!" Chloe released the ghost hunter.
Kim tied her up fast with her weird hair dryer, and Ron gagged her while Clark caught Chloe as she stumbled back.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, but Danny owes me big."
"Consider the debt paid." Danny reappeared with Sam who was holding the hypnosis beam…or whatever Vlad would call it. "Should we just try turning it off?"
Sam shrugged then turned it off. Maddie stopped struggling, staring around her wide-eyed. They released her, and she lunged at Danny who went intangible.
"Don't worry, kids, I'll get the ghost," Maddie said.
"Whoa, Mom, hang on." Danny turned human.
Maddie gasped then fainted.
"Well, that was easy," Clark said.
"Let's get out of here," Danny said, pulling his mom up and sliding one of her arms over his shoulders. Sam helped support her from the other side.
"Come on, Ron," Kim said.
"G-g-g-g…"
"Ron, let's go!" Chloe called, moving closer to Clark. It had suddenly gotten oddly cold.
"Ghost!" Ron finally shrieked, running back toward Kim as Plasmius flew toward the teens.
Danny handed his mom over to Tucker. "Going ghost!"
He dodged Plasmius' ray, shooting forward with an ectoplasmic-strengthened punch that hit the other halfa in the jaw. Plasmius flew back, rubbing his jaw.
"Your powers have grown, Daniel." Plasmius grinned. "But can you do this?" He split into four.
"Dude, that was like totally sophomore year," Tucker said as Danny also split.
While all four Plasmius' each shot an ectoplasmic ray, one Danny created a shield to block them, another shot his own ray, another punched the real Plasmius, and the real Danny grabbed the Fenton Thermos from Tucker. Plasmius' copies returned to him while Danny's three continued to attack. The copies pulled back, and Danny sucked a weakened Plasmius into the Fenton Thermos.
"All too easy," Danny said, grinning. His copies returned to him.
"Danny?" He turned at his mother's voice. She was still leaning on Tucker but staring at Danny in ghost form.
"Uh…heh, hi, Mom." He turned human.
"But…how?"
"It's a long story, mom. For now, let's go home."
"Ugh, I still can't believe I kissed Vlad," Maddie said, making a face. She had been fully friefed on the accident in the lab when Danny was fourteen and everything that had happened since the mall. She started laughing. "I would've given everything to have seen Sam love sick over Danny like that though."
The two teens spoken of were blushing a deep red. "Mom!" Danny cried.
"Oh, Danny." Maddie ruffled his hair. "I've always said you and Sam would make a cute couple, and I'm not about to stop now."
If they hadn't been driving at seventy miles per hour on the freeway, Danny would've disappeared into the floor.
"Did you guys all get to finish your Christmas shopping at least?" Maddie asked the teens. They all nodded in affirmation. "Good, I was hoping I hadn't kept you all from it." She turned to her son and hugged him. ("Mom…") "Thank you for coming to rescue me, sweetie."
"If you're going to thank anyone, you should thank Sam. She's the one that figured out you were hypnotized," Danny said.
Maddie turned and embraced the goth girl as well. "Thank you, both. And nice outfit, Sam."
"Danny liked it too," Tucker piped up.
"No, I… Yeah, I did." Danny growled. "Tucker, you have the Fenton Truth Teller!"
"Huh?" Tucker hid the device. "No, that was my…my PDA. Yeah, my PDA."
Danny tackled the techno geek and pulled the device from him. "I hate this thing!"
