Danny POV

The limo ride to the private jet seemed long and dreadful. Vlad was on his phone the whole time making buisness calls and sending glares his way when he caught Danny staring at him. Why does he hate me so much...maybe Clockwork was wrong...No! Clockwork is never wrong..I hope.. He was pulled out of his thoughts by his phone going off. It was Dash. He scowled, but answered it anyway.

"Hello?" He didn't bother hiding his hurt and annoyance in his voice.

"Hey babe! Miss me?"

" It hasn't even been a whole day since you dumped me for Paulina." That statement peaked Vlad's curiosity.

" I'm sorry about that Danny love, I didn't know what I was doing. She had me convinced that you were using me, but now I know the truth and I want you back...Even though it hasn't been that long I miss you babe."

Danny rolled his eyes, yet still a slight blush spread across his face.

" I don't know Dash...Let me think about over winter break and I'll tell you when we get back."

" Alright love, I'll give you your space,but I'll be texting and bugging you until I can wiggle my way back into your heart."
Danny giggled and shook his head. " Okay Dash I look forward to it..Bye Dash."

He hung up and looked over to the older halfa to see him scowling at him. " What?" Danny gave him a questioning look.

Vlads POV

Who the hell is that brat talking to...probably his nobody friends..

" It hasn't even been a whole day since you dumped me for Paulina."

A former lover? I didn't know Daniel was in any type of relationship...WHAT?! Why is he blushing?!

" I don't know Dash...Let me think about over winter break and I'll tell you when we get back."

Dash? That blonde jock that has harassed him his whole high school career...Why do I care...I have Maddie...

Danny giggled and shook his head. " Okay Dash I look forward to it..Bye Dash."

Did he just giggle?!...Why do I care that Daniel is dating...He scowled at the boy for making him feel this way. Said boy gave him perplexing look " What?" The older halfa shook his head and looked out the window which in return made the younger halfa even more confused.

Maybe it's my fatherly instincts...Yes, that's it. I love Maddie , so her kids are my kids! A smirk played across his face at his conclusion. I can use these four weeks to get Danny to see me as more of fatherly figure other than that imbecile Jack.

He came back to reality when the driver opened the door for him and Danny to the landing where his private jet was waiting. He exited the limo and held his hand out for Danny.

" Come along Daniel when we get to the mansion I'll make us something to eat. Italian is still your favorite I assume? " He smiles at the teen's shock expression

Danny POV

What's with the sudden change in attitude?! Maybe Clockwork was right. Then again he's probably up to something. Stupid Fruitloop.

They boarded the plane and sat across from each other. " So Daniel that phone call from early..." He felt a blush coming on but manage to hide it from the billionaire.

"Oh yea that...uh it was just my ex-boyfriend he was asking for a second chance." He rubs the back of his neck and slumps a bit in his seat as he looks out the window for a distraction from the intense stare Vlad was giving him.

" You know your mood swings just shows how much of a fruitloop you are." He rest his cheek on his hand and gives him a I-know-you're-up-to-something-look. Vlad gives the boy an innocent look and ruffles his hair. Danny scowls at him and swipes at the hand " Hey don't mess with the hair." He runs his fingers through his hair until he saw it was spiked to his liking.

we will be landing soon the limo you requested is waiting for you at the landing-

They landed and made their way to the limo " Damn I'm so tired of sitting." The older halfa gave him scolding look " Language Daniel." Danny rolled his eyes at the older halfa and stared out the window.

He acts as if he's my father...

Vlad's POV

After about 20 mins of nothing but silence and the occasional ding from Vlad's phone indicating he had a message from a business partner the mansion came into view. It took them an additional 10 mins to drive up the elaborate drive way until they finally made it to the front door. " Don't worry about your things Daniel the servants will take them to your room. All the staff are ghost so you don't have to hide your powers. How about we eat before I give you a tour of my humble abode?" Danny eagerly nods his head and follows the man into the over sized kitchen.

The older halfa pulls out pots and pans with various ingredients to make chicken alfredo. "So little badger what are your plans after you graduate high school?" Danny frowns and rubs the back of his neck " I didn't really have any...I was probably just gonna get a job somewhere in Amity Park and protect the town like I always do." Vlad stops what he was doing and gives the teen a disapproving look " You can not waste your life protecting that dinky town! What about college? What happens if you want to get married and have a family?" Danny shook his and kinda scoffs at the thought of leaving Amity Park " I can't leave Vlad. Amity Park needs Danny Phantom or else someone like Ember or Technus will try to take over and terrorize the people." He looks up at Vlad and smiles " That's why I can't leave. They need me."

Vlad's heart beat picks up That smile. I want to see it more.
