CHAPTER TWO: Vlad's Plan

Vlad Returned to his Wisconsin Manor without difficulty. Although he was sidetracked by the Monster who guarded the Skeleton Key… Apparently, the halfa had done wonders on his digestive system.

As Vlad entered his study, he found his vulture assistants sitting in front of the TV, laughing hysterically.

"What are you idiots doing! I need to watch the 'Fairly OddParents' so I can look at the credits to find out who the creator is and bribe him to put me on the show. That way I can proclaim my love for Maddie on a global scale." Vlad glanced at the staff sitting on his desk, "A little hypnosis wouldn't hurt either. Too bad Freakshow was unaware that his crystal ball could be repaired with the rare ecto-diamond. Also giving him the power to control humans who watch television on a regular basis."

Apparently, Vlad ranting had sailed over the Vultures' heads, because they remained on the floor laughing.

Vlad noticed that the sole character on the screen was a very muscular fairy who repeatedly ripped his shirt.

"Wanda," the fairy proclaimed, "please stay here with me!"

The screen switched to Wanda, who appeared to have just gotten a massage. "What are you nuts?"

Vlad sighed, "Oh Juandissimo! You and I are two of a Kind! We both lost our women to Morons and are plotting to wind them over," Vlad looked at himself in a hand mirror. "Not to mention we are both incredibly attractive!"

The Vultures were no longer laughing at the screen.

Vlad turned red, "It's true! Just ask any female ghost!"

"He's right. Vlad, you are such a hottie!" Vlad turned to face the Lunch Lady Ghost.

"Ahhhh!" Vlad shouted, deeply disturbed by this turn of events.

Out of nowhere the Box Ghost appeared, "Get away from my woman! I will send the wrath of Boxes upon you!" Immediately, he made the television float. However, it came up short of Vlad and landed on the still laughing Vultures, who were in no condition to go intangible.

"You Idiots!" Vlad proclaimed, reaching for the staff. Within a few minutes, he had the Box Ghost and Lunch Lady under his control.

"Fools!" Vlad cackled, "They are now under my complete control!"

One of the Vultures, who managed to free himself, snorted, "The narration already established that. But whatever, you're the lovesick villain!"

Vlad continued cackling, "Exactly! Watch out Danny Phantom! You're town will soon be mine!"

Meanwhile in Amity Park…

Danny, Sam, and his parents were sitting in front of the television. After a rerun of 15-minute Fairly OddParents episodes, the television announced that Channel Chasers is coming on.

"Yay!" Danny's parents shouted enthusiastically. Apparently, they had a collection of DVD's that had every single episode ever aired.

Annoyed by the noise downstairs, Jazz Fenton entered the living room. She was studying for an advanced placement English Test in Lancer's Class that All Juniors were required to pass in order to graduate, and Jazz wasn't planning on slacking.

"Could you keep it down! I'm trying to study!" Jazz said crossly.

"Stop repeating the narration and sit down and watch Channel Chasers with us Jasmine," Maddie said, her face practically glued to the screen.

"Other than the evening news, I don't believe in watching television," Jazz said a-matter-of-factly, "I'm not even watching the news anymore, since it's all about ghosts now."

"If you're not watching, then can you order takeout? We'll just have are normal choices from the Nasty Burger." Danny said, taken by the humor of the show he had never paid much attention to.

Jazz sighed, "Fine, but I'm warning you, television rots your brain."

Immediately, Jack burst out laughing at the chaos caused by Timmy's Maho Mushi imitation, "I always wanted to do that!"

"I guess my warning came too late," Jazz mutter to herself as she dialed the Nasty Burger.
