One night, a child had a dream. The dream was his family; happy and reunited. Sadly, deep in his heart, he knew it was just a dream, would remain just a dream, and, unfortunately, would never come true.

Gazing at the sky through his window, Danny shifted to try and avoid the handcuffs' mark. He wasn't sure what was going on and wondered why, and when, things had gone this far down the road.
If his mother had never really died… Then why did Vlad fake it? Danny had two guesses, and one was to get to his mother, and the other was something else.
Gulping nervously he yanked at the handcuffs once more. To his delight, they broke free….
…. And then imminently became tight again.
"DAMN IT, WHY ME?" he yelled to no one. Vlad was downstairs somewhere. Maybe he had the keys on him.
Well, that was stupid – Danny knew he had the keys on him. He just had to find out how to get Vlad upstairs and near him so he could get the keys. His dad wouldn't care squat, and he had a feeling his mother wouldn't come for him, and if his father lied to his friends, well… there'd be no one to his rescue.
No one. He would have to fight this battle himself; get out himself; and he had a feeling he had less then twenty-four hours to do it.
And counting.

"Can't you guys drive any faster?" Tucker snapped from the back. "We have to save Danny, not take a cruise limo to the shipping!"
"We are going faster!" Maddie snapped. She was angry; anyone could see this, and she had her foot floored to the gas pedal. Jazz was in the front seat and anyone could see she'd gotten a poor night's sleep.
Twenty minutes later, they had a problem. The car had stopped working. Completely. About a fifteen minute's walk to Vlad's mansion.
"Everyone, get your tools and let's go," Maddie ordered, a determined look on her face.
After fifteen minutes of walking through deep wasteland, with no trees, stores, or anything else, Jazz commented, "Well, he sure likes his space."
Tucker laughed. A typical 'Tucker' thing to do. Sam was getting mad at Tucker. She felt like they were going into a big mission.
Well, they'd done it. They'd reached the house. There was just one problem…
"How are we going to get inside?"
---------------------------------------------------------Danny tried going invisible, but his powers wouldn't let him and the handcuffs zapped him every time he attempted it. Squeezing his fingers together, he tried to shift his skinny arm through the handcuffs.
To his surprise, it worked. He couldn't believe it. Maybe he'd really lost that much weight, and it scared him.
He went invisible and smiled. Now, there would be hell to pay for Vlad Masters and Jack Fenton…

Vlad answered the door to an angry group of kids with one parent and one thing in common: Danny.
"Where is he, Vlad?" Maddie demanded. "Where is he?"
"Who?" Vlad asked, playing innocent. However, it didn't sit well with Maddie, who stormed up to him, very upset.
"Danny, Danny Fenton," she said. She got a knife out of her pocket and pointed it at Vlad. "Where is he?"
"Upstairs, first room on the left," Vlad said. He could have defeated Maddie easily, but didn't want to get into a fight with his soon-to-be wife.
Running upstairs, Maddie took one look at the bedroom and gasped. Handcuffs were attached to the bed and blood was on each one.
She turned to Vlad, her eyes ablaze with fire and asked, "WHERE THE HELL IS MY SON?"
---------------------------------------------------------
Easy, Maddie. Don't kill Vlad yet. That's Danny's job. Cookie to everyone who guessed Vlad's going to be the one to die. R&R please.
