Hey everyone! This story is a major hit! I was surprised. Unfortunately for me humor is very hard to write. And that's basically my only excuse for why this chapter was so late.
Now for the dedications.
First there's Danny0709, who was promised this chapter a long time ago.
Then there's Dizzytech, who gave me the inspiration for this chapter and possibly the rest of this story in a review.
Third is Shewhodanceswithdragons, who kept asking me for this chapter online at the CAA forum.
And last but not least is Kzunten Kidagoi, (I know I spelled that wrong) Who bugged me for this chapter on and offline because she is the only person who reads my stories and actually knows me.
Danny sat weakly on the ground. He changed back to his human form. I crouched down next to him and he said, "Sam, I don't think that I'll be able to take control after this. Not for a while anyway."
I stared at him and said, "What?" Danny looked up and smiled. To my dismay his eyes were once again those of a three and a half year old's.
"I'm tired meanie." He said before yawning. "Will you tell me a story?"
"I'll tell you one you little brat." Vlad's voice sent chills down my spine as he stood up. I panicked and stared at Danny, hoping that somehow he would miraculously save us again. Unfortunately it didn't look like fourteen year old Danny would be coming back anytime soon.
Danny smiled. "Really Mr.? What's it about?" I pulled Danny closer to me and started backing up. Maddie and Jack looked both scared and confused. Vlad came closer and smiled wickedly, changing back into his ghost form as he approached.
"It's about the bratty children who get punished by a very angry ghost, and afterwards the angry ghost kidnaps a toddler and teaches him how to be evil, and cures him permanently of that nasty little split personality problem." Vlad's hands glowed dangerously.
"Does it have a happy ending?" Danny said slightly muffled. I was holding him so tightly it was a miracle he could breathe.
Vlad laughed. "For the angry ghost it does; he gets the son he's always wanted. But for everyone else… well that's another story." He fired and I watched as the beam flew right towards Danny and me.
Instead of hurting me like I thought it would, I was suddenly trapped in a pink bubble. Danny was still in my arms. Maddie, Jack, Jazz, and Tucker were all laying on the ground unconscious.
"What did you do to them!" I yelled at Vlad, who was standing just outside the bubble. He grinned, showing me his vampire teeth.
"What's the point of killing them? They can pass the news onto Maddie and Jack, and when they come to rescue their son, I can kill Jack and persuade Maddie to marry me, and raise our son together!" I opened my mouth to point out that Jack and Maddie were lying unconscious on the floor, but then his words sunk in.
He didn't know that Ember had turned them into teenagers.
I struggled on popping the Ectoplasm bubble thing vainly. Danny had fallen asleep. Vlad laughed wickedly and said, "It's no use my dear, this bubble will only disappear when I want it too." He lifted the bubble up like it was a feather and started flying away from the unconscious group.
"Why are you taking me?" Vlad smirked.
"You Samantha are my leverage. Just in case young Daniel reverts back to his fourteen year old personality." I scowled and looked down. Then I instantly wished that I hadn't.
Flying in Danny's arms felt secure, I knew that he would never drop me, but in this bubble it felt like it could burst any minute and send Danny and me tumbling to our deaths. Why couldn't we have taken a car? Danny woke up suddenly and whispered, "I have to go to the bathroom."
I felt the color drain from my face. "Uh, Vlad?" Vlad glared at me but said nothing. "Vlad!" still no answer. "VLAD!" He looked very angry and his eyes glowed dangerously.
"WHAT!" He yelled. Danny was jumping back and fourth in the bubble with a pained look on his face.
"Danny has to um, go to the bathroom." Vlad's blue face turned white.
"Can't he hold it?" From the expression on Danny's face it was obvious that he couldn't.
"It's clear that you've never had to baby-sit." I said remembering back when I had to baby-sit my cousin. Vlad gave me a blank look. I sighed in exasperation. "That means no, he can't hold it."
"Fine, there's a truck stop down there." He dived and then landed behind the building. The bubble around Danny and I faded as Vlad became human. "If you even think of escaping I will make you both wish that Daniel had just peed in the bubble."
Danny stopped jumping back and fourth for a moment to say, "My name's Danny."
"From now on you will be called Daniel."
"No, Danny!"
"Daniel!"
"DANNY!" Danny screamed.
"Oh cheeselogs, if I had known that he would be so annoying as a toddler I might have just taken my chances against him as a teenager." Vlad glared at me as he massaged his head with his hands and then said, "Take Daniel to the bathroom."
I took Danny's hand and started to lead him around the building. What else could I do? I looked down at Danny hoping that maybe he would talk to me in his fourteen year old voice, but all that he did was turn around and yell back at Vlad.
"MY NAME IS DANNY SO THERE!"
Vlad yelled something that sounded like "Butter biscuits!" and then we had turned the corner and Vlad was out of sight.
I considered running, or telling someone that we were being kidnapped, or anything to get away from Vlad, but what could I do? Danny was going to be no help. Vlad had already shown that he can make people unconscious, and if the punishment for running away would be worse than Danny going to the bathroom in the bubble… well, that would be really bad.
Then a surprisingly evil thought crossed my mind. Maybe Danny would be helpful after all. Would Vlad be able to handle him? I didn't think so.
We entered the truck stop and I walked him over to the bathrooms. I opened the door to the girl's bathroom and Danny pulled his hand out of mine. "I can't go in there! It's the girly bathroom!"
I looked over at the boy's room. You could smell the sewage in there. Nothing would get me to go in there, and I was not about to let Danny go in on his own. "Uh, just pretend that this is a clean boy's room okay?"
Before he could protest I pulled him through the door and led him over to an empty stall. This time Danny's face paled. "That is a big potty." I felt my eyes widen and hoped that Danny was potty-trained.
"Usually I use my small potty." He said slightly scared.
"Uh…"
One of the other ladies in the bathroom said, "Just pretend it's your small potty, only it grew because you're a big boy."
Danny smiled. "So it grew just for me?" the woman nodded and Danny climbed up on the toilet. I shut the door and hoped that he would know what to do.
The lady stared at me for a second and I shifted uncomfortably. "You are way too young to be a mother. What are you doing with a three year old boy?"
"And a half!" Danny called out through the stall.
"I'm, um babysitting him!" I said.
"In a truck stop?" the women said skeptically.
"We were on a trip and Danny had to go to the bathroom, so our parents pulled over and let me take Danny to the bathroom while they looked around the gift shop." I said.
"So your telling me that your mom left you in charge of a barely potty trained three and a half year old, and that you're his sister?"
"My sister's Spazzy!" Danny said. The women laughed but still continued staring at me.
"I'm afraid that I don't believe your story." She said before walking away. "I'm calling the cops and telling them that there's a possible kidnapper on the loose."
"Time to go Danny!" I said panicked. "Are you done yet!"
"Done with what Meanie?" he said. I sighed in exasperation.
"Going to the bathroom!"
"Maybe." There was a loud splash.
"Danny, don't make me come in there!"
"Ok Meanie."
He opened the door and walked out. I grabbed his hand without looking at him and ran towards the door, but when I opened it I saw the women from earlier. "Hurry up! She's trying to escape!"
I slammed the door shut. Then I looked down at Danny. He was soaking wet. "Danny! What happened!"
He looked down. "I fell in the big potty"
I felt the color leave my face again. Suddenly there was a scream behind us and a lady ran out of a stall. "Great, I just had to phase through the one stall that had someone in it."
Vlad entered the room and glared at Danny and me. "Police cars are pulling in to the truck stop. What's your excuse?"
I gulped and said quickly, "One of the ladies called the police because she thought I was kidnapping Danny." Vlad opened his mouth to say something, but was cut off by sirens.
Suddenly Danny and I were back in the bubble and Vlad had phased us through the wall. We were silent for a while until Vlad said, "Samantha, why is Daniel wet?"
