chapter 3

two months later.

Vlad wandered the hall heading up to Danny's room. his heart skipped a few beats. this was the day clockwork had told him about. he still heard the master of time telling him about dannys future. as Vlad walked the halls he couldnt help but smile. the day clockwork had brought danny into his life changed him completely. he used to think only getting even and revenge on jack fenton but now thanks to having a son and a daughter later on it taught him that there was more than that kind of thing. he reached dannys room and opened the door. he noticed at once Danny wasn't in his bed. He looked around the room and could not find any trace of Danny. After he shut the door he heard a bang and a small explosion. Vlad smiled.

"I am the box ghost." The blue holographic image screamed now at the highest setting. Danny noticed at once if the real box ghost was like this hed be in trouble. He wore the same outfit he wore in the first 9 levels but now he was stronger more buff. And with 30 times gravity on setting Danny smiled as he had guessed right. "this is going to be fun. Danny put his hands up in the air and screamed at the top of his lungs. "im going ghost." At that moment the white rings formed around him and split showing his black hair and blue eyes change to white hair and green eyes.

Vlad smiled as he watched his son in the simulation. "Hopefully he doesn't wear himself out too much." Vlad said with a worried look. Just then a voice he knew all to well spoke up behind him. "You've done well Plasmius." He turned to see clockwork standing there still the same as when he had seen him the first 13 years of Danny's life. "hello clockwork." Vlad said turning to the time ghost. Clockwork smiled back. "hello to you as well." He said taking in a hand shake. They both went back to watching Danny fight with all he could muster. "not bad for a boy whos been doing this all night." Clockwork said causing Vlad to smile. "well hes been working hard for the academy hes going to." Vlad explained. He admitted he didn't like it when Danny pulled off all-nighters. But if Danny was willing to do it Vlad would let him.

"So when does he leave?" vlad asked clockwork who was watching his son carefully. Clockwork was about to answer when he turned around just in time to catch Danielle. "uncle clockwork!" she shrieked as she embraced the hug he was giving her. "hello young Danielle so how is school?" he asked already knowing the answer. "great im getting all A's in my classes." She said smiling. Clockwork patted her head. "good job then young lady." He said smiling. "perhaps when youre older you can go to the same school Danny is going to."

Danielle looked down with a frown. "youre here to take him away aren't you?" she asked fighting back tears. Clockwork gave a smile as he nodded. "why are you crying young one?" he asked danielle pulling up her chin with a finger. She sniffled. "how long Is he going to be gone?" she asked sadly. Clockwork only chuckled. "only until 4:30 young one." He said standing up. Danielles face lit up. Vlad looked at clockwork with a slightly confused expression. "hes not going to stay there?" he asked the time ghost. Clockwork shook his head. "no if he were a full ghost he would have to stay with the battle partner he is assigned." Clockwork explained. The ground shook causing them all(even clockwork) to jump. They looked in to see the hologram holding Danny down on the ground.

"Danny!" Danielle and Vlad both screamed. They were both ready to change into their ghost forms and go into action until clockwork stopped them. "wait look." He said pointing at the room with his staff. They all looked inside to see dannys eyes glowing brighter. Danny then let out a huge wail as the room shook even more and the hologram on his knees covering his ears. The white rings changed Danny to his human form but only for a short while. Vlad looked to see Danny change back to his ghost form. "he really has been practicing hasn't he?" clockwork asked smiling at Danny as he threw punches faster and faster.

Vlad smiled. "yes hes been training for this day for almost 5 years now clockwork." He explained. At that moment the simulation timing ended just in time for Danny to blast the box ghost into nothing. Danny walked out with a towel on his neck. He at once noticed everyone staring at him. "morning dad Danielle clockwork." He said changing back to his human form. Clockwork smiled. "are you ready for today Danny?" the time ghost asked smiling. Danny nodded. "ready as ill ever be." He answered.

Clockwork then raised his hand as a red box materialized into dannys arms. He looked at Vlad and Clockwork with a confused look. Vlad smiled. "go ahead Daniel open it." Danny smiled as he set it down on a table nearby. Danielle stood up on a chair next to him to see what it was. As the lid came off both Danny and Danielle both gasped in shock. Danny held up a black leather jacket with white sleeves and a white hood. He saw on the right side of the jacket had a white letter D with an inverted P inside of it. He put it on and immediately and felt a tad bit heavier.

"it was meant to be weighted to get you prepeared." Clockwork smiled indicating to his dad. Danny smiled and hugged his dad. Vlad smiled and hugged his son. Danny let go of his dad and hugged his little sister. "don't worry Danielle ill be back later. Maybe we can go out for ice cream later when I get back." Danielle smiled. "okay." She said running upstairs to her room. Danny then turned to hug his dad. "ill see you later Daniel and have a wonderful day at the academy okay." Vlad said smiling at his son. Danny smiled back and transformed into his ghost self. He then turned to clockwork and nodded. "so we ready to go?"
