All I can say is Wow. You guys are great. Over twenty five reviews on the first chapter! Thank you all very much. Reviews are great moral boosters for those tough school days. I hope this chapter lives up to all of your expectations.
Please read the long author's note at the bottom when you are done with the chapter.
The next morning Danny sat up in bed and remembered what he had done the previous day. He smiled and quickly got dressed and went to his computer to check the replies. "Let's see just how many women are interested in Vlad."
Danny wasn't really expecting any. It had only been one day. He was just getting on to the internet when his mother called him.
"Danny! Sam's here!" he heard the front door close and waited a minute for Sam to come up to his room. She came in and saw his computer on.
"I should have known." She said. Danny smiled at her and went back to the computer. He checked his email and gasped. "What?" Sam said. "Are you surprised that he didn't get anything? I mean with that great profile you gave him he should be irresistible." Danny ignored the sarcasm. He moved over and showed Sam the screen.
Sam gasped too. There were over fifty replies for Vlad. Danny clicked on the first one.
"Hey what's a cool rich guy like you doing single? I've been looking for someone like you for a long time. I'm very interested in you. Please reply."
Danny and Sam both read it a few times before Danny burst out laughing. "Who sent him that anyway?" He clicked on the name and stared at the picture of the person for a few minutes. Then he fell out of his chair and continued laughing.
Sam glanced at the picture and ended up staring at it in disbelief. It was a picture of a man. Danny finally managed to pull himself out of his laughing fit. He laughed more at the picture and finally went back to his email. "Hmm whose next?"
"Ooh you look like my kind of man. Handsome, single, powerful, and most of all a millionaire. I'd love being you're girlfriend."
"Hallelujah, we found a girl." Danny said. The email continued.
"I like cheese and butter, nice things that come from cows, because cows are meat and I love meat. I hope you aren't a vegetarian. I'm a great cook, and I guess you could say that my ability with meat is almost "ghostly"… Actually, it is ghostly. I hope that doesn't spoil our relationship."
"Uh oh." Sam and Danny said in unison. Danny clicked on the profile and the picture came up… of the lunch lady ghost. Danny burst out laughing again. Sam slapped him lightly and said, "Move on to the next one before you die from laughter."
Danny frowned playfully at her and then clicked on the next one.
"Ooh, that's brave, posting that you are rich on an internet dating website! I love brave men, and it doesn't hurt that you are rich either. Please consider meeting me."
"She sounds normal enough, time to go." Danny clicked the reply button and then wrote Vlad's address down.
"Danny, what are you doing! You can't just send Vlad's email to random women!" Danny ignored her and clicked send. Then he turned to Sam and smiled.
"Sam, are you up for a trip to Vlad's house?"
"Why would we do that?" Sam asked. Danny smiled again.
"You don't expect me to just wait for Vlad to visit me and beat me up when he finds out it's me sending him these women do you?" Sam said nothing and watched as Danny unplugged his laptop. "It's summer," Danny continued, "Tucker's at technology camp and we don't laugh enough without him."
He stood and his eyes flashed green. "I'm going to ask my parents if I can go to Vlad's house. We can take the specter speeder and stay in it. That way we'll have a good excuse for being away, and we can monitor Vlad's dates."
"You're crazy Danny." Sam said. "What makes you think that your parents will let you go to Vlad's house?"
Danny just smiled again. Sam squinted her eyes as two blue rings transformed him into Danny Phantom and he phased through the floor.

"I can't believe that you can overshadow people and bend them to your will and you don't even feel any remorse." Sam said an hour later when they were in the specter speeder on the way to Wisconsin. Danny laughed.
"If Vlad's going to make me a full ghost when he finds out that I set him up I might as well enjoy the time I have left."
"That's not funny Danny." Sam said angrily. "What if that actually happens?"
Danny said nothing for a moment. "I can beat him Sam. Besides, as long as we're careful he won't realize we're watching him, and if he finds out that I set him up I'll already know what he's planning."
Sam sighed and decided not to pursue the topic because it was useless arguing with Danny once he made up his mind.

Now, you may be wondering what Danny did exactly to get his parents too let him fly to Vlad's. It was very similar to what he did to get Sam's parents to let her go on the cross country trip with him.
"Da- I mean, Jack," Maddie said, sounding funny as she walked up to him. "Can I talk to you?"
"Sure Maddiecakes! What do you need?" He put his arm around her waste and she looked surprised and stepped away from him.
"Since Danny never got to go on that cross country trip he was hoping for, do you think you would mind letting him and Sam go to Vlad's house? Vlad already said that it was fine."
"Vladdie! Sure Danny and his friend can go! You know he's my friend from college! I trust him completely." Jack smiled and tried to hug Maddie but she pulled away again.
"Good, you'll have to call me- er, Danny on his cell phone because Vlad's phones are down. Make sure you remind me of this later when I start panicking because I can't remember where Danny went."
"Um, okay Maddie." Jack stared at her for a minute and then said, "Have your eyes always been green?"
"Uh oh." She said softly. Then she closed her eyes and fell into Jack's arms as Danny phased out of her and flew back up to his room to tell Sam the good news.

The trip to Wisconsin takes three days by car, because of traffic and the need to obey the speed limit. But there are no rules on the sky, so they managed to make it to Vlad's castle in one day.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Vlad stared through his magnifying glasses at a tiny invention he was working on. It was a tracker that would burrow painlessly into Daniel's skin and would be impossible to remove. It would not be felt any more than a mosquito bite, and would dig deep enough so that Danny would have no blemishes on his skin to alert him of the device.
He chuckled evilly and was just inserting the last piece when the doorbell rang. Vlad gasped and crushed the tracker between his tweezers. No one ever rang his doorbell. He made sure that he had built his second castle in an empty area, and he had no neighbors.
Then he realized that he had crushed the tracker.
"Whoever is at my door now has a date with death." He stood and slammed his hand on the desk, crushing the tracker more and making himself even angrier. He said several swear words that were less g-rated than cheeselogs.
The doorbell rang again and he stormed up the stairs of his lab and to the front door. He yanked it nearly off its hinges and saw a very startled lady. There was nothing notable about her really, but seeing her made Vlad nervous, and he instantly lost his fury. Why would a woman be standing at his door?
"Hello?" He asked nervously. She looked past him into his mansion, and Vlad was glad that a maid regularly cleaned it.
"Wow, you really are rich!" She said.
"H-how can I help you?" Vlad said.
"Are you one crazed up fruitloop?" She asked.
Vlad stared at her for a moment and then his anger returned full blast. "Get off of my lawn!" He slammed the door in her face and it wobbled and threatened to fall on her, but it held on.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Darn." Danny said from the specter speeder, which was hovering overhead. "We'll just have to make sure to tell his dates that his name is Vlad, or else he'll get suspicious." He watched as the women stared at the door and then turned and walked away looking frightened.
Danny turned on his laptop and opened his email. "Now who's next?"
Okay, I hope that was a good chapter.
I've had an idea and I would like to try it, but the thing is, I need your help. Any readers who want to can do it, and I think you would have a lot of fun doing it.
Would you like to make a date for Vlad? I mean after all, he is on a dating website, so there will be a very wide variety of women for him. I think you all understand that it should be a bad date. There are thousands of people out there who would do anything to marry a rich guy. Not many of them are prizes.
So I am asking you to do this for me. In your review please write a profile and a brief description of your character. It does not have to be long. Remember, you don't have to do anything.
If you are embarrassed of your character, for example, if she (or he) is really gay or weird like the one I described and you don't want to be associated with that person, just ask me in your review and I will not put your name on the chapter. I will dedicate the chapter to whoever gives me a character and does not ask to be hidden.
I will accept any and all characters, ghost and human, but please remember that gay's are not funny after they've been used so many times, and people might take offense to that. Vlad is not gay.
I will also add character's of my own in too, but there are only so many things I can think up, and if you want this story to be long you need to help.
Once again, thank you for your support.
