I'm back with another update! :D It's weird considering I had such a long hiatus, but whatever. I'll be posting more regularly now! Probably! xD At least once school gets out I will. Anyway...

Thanks to Shiranai Atsune who was the lone faver/follower of this story since the last chapter! xDD It had been only a few days so it sort of makes sense. And thanks to the same person who favorited/followed me as an author also! Thank you! :D

Thanks to Invader Johnny, Guest (The Dragon of Prophecy and Destiny), and Kimera20 for their reviews! :D

In response to Guest, who asked why I had been gone for 8 months: ...I'm sorry ok I have a life outside of fanfiction! *crickets chirp* ...Alright that may have been a lie but still! xD It really was terrible, I'm sorry for being gone for so long. I never forgot, I promise; I just had no idea what to write for a while. I was also focusing on the rewrite of Reign Storm for my main story, IVWAF, and I wanted to get that done before I started anything else. I was just stuck on some of the events in it; I knew generally what I wanted to do but I just couldn't write it right. But I've gotten past my writer's block so hopefully it won't happen again... xD

Thank you to all of you three, I smiled at each review and the nice things said, you guys are amazing! Everyone who is reading this is amazing! :D

Now for the chapter! I know at least some of you will like the idea, and I've found very few stories about it... So yeah I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters yada yada yada

It's Time

"Is something wrong Daniel?"

"Oh, just a toothache. I probably have a cavity or something." Danny gently placed a hand onto his mouth. It was the day of the two halfas' training session, and the boy had just arrived at Vlad's mansion. They were both in their ghost forms, about to start.

Vlad frowned. "Let me see..." Confused, Danny opened his mouth, showing slightly inflamed gums.

The ghost boy saw Vlad's expression, and gave him a questioning look.

"I think I know what's happening, Danny."

"What? What's all the suspense for Fruitloop?"

"Ah, well... Your fangs are growing in..."

"Fangs?!" Danny muttered in horror, covering his mouth with his hands. "B-but I don't want fangs!"

"Relax Badger, it's normal. Happened to me about a year after I got my powers. And if it bothers you, ghosts have the ability to change their appearance, or trick people's eyes into thinking they look a certain way. So, no one else will know if that's the way you want it."

"H-how long will it take?"

Vlad laid a calming hand on the boy's shoulder, silently urging him to calm down. "It took just a few days for me, but it could be longer or shorter for you, since you're a different age than I was. Unfortunately, it hurts quite a bit, since it's similar to teething for young toddlers... But with only two full-sized, sharp teeth, instead of multiple small ones."

Danny stared in shock. "What am I going to do? I have school tomorrow, and I don't wanna go home like this..."

"You can just stay here until it's over." The man offered. "I can call your parents and make something up."

"Okay... okay..." The ghost boy muttered, still in a state of surprise.

The older halfa put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "It'll be fine, Danny, don't worry. It doesn't affect your human form. You might want to stay as a ghost until it's over, though. I don't know what would happen if you switch back and forth."

The boy nodded in agreement.

"So, if you don't feel like training today, that's fine. You can just rest, watch TV, or whatever else you want to do. As long as you don't trash the house, I'm fine with it."

"Okay."

"Are you going to be alright?"

"Probably."

"That's the spirit." Vlad smiled, rolling his eyes at his own pun.

"Ha, ha. Don't quit your day job, Fruitloop." The boy muttered.

"Wouldn't dream of it. It'd probably come back to haunt me, if I did. I know there's a ghost of a chance of that, anyway."

"Please stop..." Danny said with an eye roll.

"... But I'm dying to continue."

The younger halfa groaned and banged his head on the wall exaggeratedly, causing Vlad to start laughing uncontrollably.

"It's so bad, it's funny..." Danny said, chuckling at the puns. "And now I have a headache along with a toothache."

"Sorry..." The billionaire chuckled, causing the boy to join in.

After a day of watching TV and worrying about his new situation, the younger halfa went to bed in a guest bedroom, still as Danny Phantom.

He woke up the next morning to a terrible taste and ache in his mouth.

Gagging, he flew blindly through the house until he found a bathroom, and spit out a mouthful of ectoplasm and blood. He let water spew into his hands and washed out his mouth.

"And I thought ectoplasm tasted bad alone..." He said to himself with a groan. "It's like five times as bad with blood, eughhh."

He opened his mouth wide and looked in the mirror. The tips of his new fangs were already poking through, and the two teeth that were being replaced had been spat into the sink.

He shuddered at the sight. He never thought that he would get fangs, despite the fact that most ghosts did have them, along with Vlad. Danny didn't want them; if people saw Phantom with sharp, scary teeth, he may not be as accepted as a hero. It was already scary enough getting new dangerous powers; but now he had to deal with new appearance features too?

Danny was startled out of his thoughts when there was a knock at the door.

"Is everything all right in there?"

"Sort of..." Danny replied uncertainly, opening the door. The older man stepped in behind, still in a robe.

"Blood and ectoplasm tastes terrible mixed together, doesn't it." He sympathized after seeing the mess in the sink.

"Yep," Danny replied with a grimace.

"We'd better get you a good breakfast then, to get rid of the taste. Also, do you want some pain medication? It may not work as well in your ghost form but it can't hurt to try."

The boy agreed and floated downstairs with the older man to get breakfast. They sat down at the table, and a few chefs walked in from the kitchen with plates of traditional breakfast food. (Vlad had several staff that were aware of the existence ghosts, but didn't know Vlad was half-ghost himself. Nevertheless, they didn't question why he had a white-haired ghost boy in his house.)

Large stacks of pancakes, pitchers of different flavors of syrup, scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage were all present on the table.

"Whoa!" Was the only comment Danny could make at all the gourmet food.

"It's not often that I have guests here for meals, so I figured we could have a feast." The man grinned. "If there's something else you'd like, I can request it from the main chef."

"N-no thanks," the white-haired boy said, "this is already amazing enough! But you didn't have to do this just for me."

"I'd want nothing less for you, Little Badger."

One large breakfast later, both half-ghosts were stuffed with wonderful food. Danny also took a few pills to prevent the pain from being too bad later.

"I called your parents last night, by the way, and said I would come pick you up and exclusively teach you about running a business for a few days. It was the best excuse I could think of that they would actually appreciate."

"But business stuff is boring..." Danny groaned, "now they'll expect me to go back in a few days and know a bunch of stuff about it..."

"Then I can teach you a bunch of stuff about it."

"... but it's boring!"

Vlad chuckled and ruffled the boy's snow-white hair. "It's not that bad, Daniel."

He glared good-naturedly and sighed, "I gue-"

Phantom was cut off by the sound of his phone ringing. He pulled it out of his jumpsuit pocket and saw it was Sam.

"Oh shoot, I forgot to tell my friends where I was." He internally facepalmed, and looked to the man beside him for a plausible excuse he could tell them.

"I got nothing Daniel, you're on your own for this one."

The boy sighed and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Danny! Where are you? School started an hour ago!" Sam said, clearly worried.

"Yeah dude, the first class already ended." Tucker chimed in. "You missed it! Mr. Lancer totally forgot his plans for today so he had to spend like twenty minutes finding them in his email! It was priceless!"

Danny laughed. "Wow, sounds exciting. I'm sorry I missed it..."

"So where exactly are you? Are you home sick?"

"Uh..." Danny looked frantically over to the other man, who nodded to say 'tell them the truth.' The boy took a deep breath before explaining, "Well, I'm having... ghostly problems right now, so I'm at Vlad's for a few days."

"Ghostly problems, huh?" Tucker repeated curiously. "Is it a new ghost you have to fight?"

"Not exactly... don't worry, I'll tell you guys all about it later. Do you think you can handle the ghosts in Amity today?"

Just then, the tardy bell sounded through the phone.

"Yeah, don't worry about it Danny." Tucker assured. "We have it under control."

"Well, we have to get to class," Sam said begrudgingly. "Please update us soon okay? We'll want to know you're doing all right."

"And are you up for some Doomed later?" Tucker added in excitement. "I heard they updated the final boss level!"

"Yeah sure, I can't wait!" Danny replied happily. "Talk to you two later."

After he had hung up, he collapsed onto the couch in relief. "I don't know what I'm going to tell them."

"Why not the truth?" Vlad questioned softly.

"I don't know... I just can't shake the feeling that they'd think I was a freak if I all-of-the-sudden had fangs." Danny said gloomily. "Not to mention whatever else ghost puberty has to offer."

"They're your friends, they wouldn't care about something so trivial." The man reassured.

The white-haired ghost nodded in agreement. "Maybe you're right."

Danny groaned, his mouth aching from the accelerated growing of his new teeth. It was the next morning, and his fangs were already almost done growing out. Unfortunately, that brought a great deal of pain with it.

And, the horrible taste in his mouth didn't help matters either.

"Is there anything I can get you, Danny?" Vlad asked, gently rubbing the boy's arm.

"Maybe jutht thome water..." the boy replied with slight lisp from his new teeth. He cringed at the painful moving of his mouth, and scowled at the fact that he couldn't even ask for water without being in pain.

Only a few seconds later, a duplicate flew through the floor with a glass of ice water. If Vlad was annoyed about catering to the boy's every need, he didn't show it.

Danny sat up to drink some water, and immediately felt better. "Thankth. And I'm thorry that you have to take care of me like thith."

"It's no problem, badger." Vlad replied, running one hand through the boy's snow-white locks. "Just let me know if you need or want anything else. I'll stay up here just in case."

"Sam, Tucker!" Danny flew forward and embraced his friends, Vlad remaining behind him. It was a few days later, and Danny had completely recovered from his "ghostly problems," much to his relief.

"Danny!" The two teenagers exclaimed simultaneously, smiling at the sight of their half-ghost friend.

"Are you okay?" The goth girl asked, worry shown on her face, before grimacing. "Sorry, standard question."

"Did you resolve your 'ghostly problems'?" The techno-geek questioned curiously.

"I guess you could say that." The white-haired ghost boy said nervously, before flashing his new teeth. His friends stared openly for a few seconds before smiling back.

"Oh Danny, you could have just told us the truth!" Sam laughed, punching her friend's arm. "And I can't lie, you look pretty badass!"

"Yeah, dude. You could totally scare off anyone who messes with us now!" Tucker added excitedly.

"Thanks." The boy laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I wasn't sure how to tell you, so Vlad suggested I just show you."

The older half-ghost flew up beside his charge, showing similar fangs. "What'd I tell you, Daniel? I was right yet again."

The ghost boy rolled his eyes, lightly elbowing the older ghost beside him. But secretly, Phantom had to agree; Vlad could give some good advice, at least when it mattered.

Especially when it mattered.

It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
I'm never changing who I am

The song is It's Time by Imagine Dragons. :D I thought it fit pretty well. So, thoughts? I think it was pretty cute, lol.

Anyway stay tuned for more and also The Utimate Enemy, coming up soon in If Vlad Wasn't A Fruitloop!
