"LET ME GO YOU FRUIT LOOP!" I yelled at the man-thing holding me.
"Great, you already know Danny's nickname for me. I guess you would because you are him." Vlad sneered.
"Your name is Fruit Loop Plasmius?" I asked.
"NO! I am Vlad Plasmius, your second wor…best friend." He replied.
"You're my best friend? Then why did I, er, Danny try to stop you from taking me?" I asked suspiciously.
"Danny is under a spell cast by…um…Clockwork, yeah, Clockwork." Vlad explained.
"But Danny told me that Clock.."
"Danny is under Clocky's spell. He has forgotten everything and is Clocky's mindless slave. I had to take you away. If I didn't you would surly die."
I gulped. Death had always scared me. (Ironic, eh?)
I looked up to see a castle. "Is that where we're going?" I asked timidly.
Vlad looked at me surprised.
"Y-you trust me?" He asked.
I saw a hopeful look in his eye.
"I do. Danny was acting strangly. Who is Clockwork, exactly? All he told me was the he is the master of time and he made mistakes. Is that true?" I asked him.
Vlad's eyes lit up. "Most of it, yes. But Clock'y has made no mistakes. He is only in to killing you. Didn't Danny tell you that he is half ghost?"
My eye's widened. "I'm half ghost?"
Vlad nodded.
"I am half ghost too. Not all ghosts are evil." He said.
We landed into the castle and Vlad let me down.
"Wait here, I need to get your other friend." Vlad informed me.
He started to walk away from me
"Wait!" I yelled after him.
Vlad spun around and looked at me.
"V-V-Vul-add is a hard word for me to say." I explained. "Would it be ok if I just called you Dad?"
Vlad's eyes widened. "Of, coarse, Son."
I smiled at him, and he positively beamed back at me before entering a door to his left.
Sam's POV
Lavender and I finally reached Fenton Works. I turned the doorknob to see the living room empty. I led Lavender to the basement or the 'lab'. Danny was already holding four Spector Deflectors.
"You two will need these." He said as he handed two of them to me.
I put mine on, then pot the other on Lavender. She seemed confused so I told her what they were. "These will stop ghosts from touching you." I explained. I guess she understood because she didn't ask me any questions.
Moments after we arrived, Tucker and GameBoy ran down the stairs.
"We need to get out of here, your parents just arrived from who-knows-where, and your dad is blabbering on about some new brand of fudge." Tucker informed.
Danny tossed him the remaining Spector Deflectors and jumped into the Spector Speeder.
"Couldn't you just fl..."
I elbowed Tucker to stop him from spilling Danny's secret. I didn't want to know what would happen if Lavender and GameBoy found out that Danny was half ghost. Tucker seemed to catch on because he and GameBoy climbed in after Danny. Lavender was looking at me anxiously, but the independence side of her took her over, and she left me and sat down beside GameBoy.
"Sam? Come on, we need to go!" Danny called as he started up the Speeder.
I climbed in and took the passenger side seat.
"Danny? Are you down there?" A confused Jazz could be heard from the top of the stairway.
"Nope!" he yelled to his sister as the Spector Speeder took off through the secret exit and flew to the sky.
"You know she knew you were there, right?" Tucker asked Danny as Lavender and GameBoy laughed.
Danny turned in his seat and gave Tucker a 'Duh!' look, that made me giggle. Danny then gave me a rueful smile before concentrating on his driving.
"Wisconsin, here we come!" I yelled as the Speeder gained a sudden boost of speed.
"We're coming, LunarBoy…" Danny mumbled. I don't think he knew I heard him.
Here ya go, another Chapter. And about the wor.. thing. Vlad was going to say "Worst Enemy", but changed his mind.
