I hope this long chapter makes up for not being able to update this sooner. :D Keep the reviews coming. Now I'll respond to your reviews in every new chapter. :D
Reminder: Turn your clocks back an hour tonight! Thanks to that I was able to get this chapter done.
Lalala- Yes I do know I was rushing things. My weakness is making details, so you have to bear with me on that. Also you were actually helpful, so I did try to add more details to this chapter. Thanks for the review.
F1nal Front1er- I cannot answer that question because…well you'll see later. Thanks. :)
Danny's POV
"Where are we going to go eat?" I asked. "Where do you want to go? You know all the places around here." He said. "Not a freaking burger joint is all I ask. Let's go to the buffet a few miles from here. Can we walk there? I feel like walking around." I said. "Sure but take a jacket it looks cold out there." He said. I suddenly remembered that I let Valerie use my jacket last night and I forgot to get it back. "Let me find my other jacket I left here then we can go." I said. I went upstairs and went through some clothes I left here. I found a black jacket. I hated this jacket but it would work for now. I put it on and went back downstairs. "Let's go." I said.
We walked out and walked a bit. There was an awkward silence, so I decided to speak up. "So where'd you go last night after I left with Val?" I asked. "Just around town and stuff. I know how bad you don't want to stay here but we have to stay here for a little while." He said. "W-Why?" I said almost crying. "I cannot lie to you Daniel. There will be a funnel in memory of your family and friends and I want you to be here for it." He said. I stopped walking and just stood there. "Daniel?" He asked trying to get my attention. "When is it?" I asked. "Saturday." He said. "Just great I got to stay here more then I wanted to." I mumbled mostly to myself. "Don't worry I'll be there to little badger." He said trying to comfort me. He put his hand on my shoulder.
We started to walk again in total silence. When we got to the buffet I saw a statue of a penguin holding a sign. [1] I giggled a bit. We went inside and Vlad paid for the buffet. We picked our seats, took off our jackets, and got our food. My mouth was almost watering from all the good food here. I grabbed a plate and put my food on it. I got all the food I wanted and put the plate on our table. Then I grabbed a glass and poured some chocolate milk in it and went back to the table. I started to eat. Then Vlad came back and ate to.
Man the food was good here. I almost wanted to go back up, but I couldn't because I was almost full. Instead of getting seconds I went up and got some ice cream. I choose chocolate ice cream and I put some hot fudge on it. [2] Then I went back to the table. While I was eating my ice cream Vlad was drinking coffee then we heard cheering from a birthday party. I looked over to where the cheering came from and then I saw a guy dancing around in a penguin suit. [3] I almost fell out of my seat from laughing so much. This was the funniest thing that happened lately. My mind was on this and not thinking about the accident. I finished my ice cream and then we left.
It was colder than when it was earlier, and I was a little chilly. I was shivering real badly. I could see my own breath and it wasn't even in freezing temperatures. Apparently Vlad saw me shivering and put his hand on my shoulder. "Cold Daniel?" He asked. "A little." I said. Luckily we were almost at the house, so I wouldn't have to be cold any longer. When we got back to the house I made some hot chocolate to see if it would warm me up. It didn't and I was still cold as ice. Even with my jacket on I was still freezing like an iceberg. I was in the kitchen finishing my hot chocolate when Vlad came back in. "Still cold little badger?" He asked. I shook my head up and down and then I got up. I went to the sink and turned on the hot water. When the water went on my hands it turned into ice.
"Well that's new…" I said. Vlad looked over to me. After I removed my hands the hotness of the water made the ice unfreeze and the water was running again. I tried putting my hands under the water and it happened again. "Well that's something you don't see every day…" I said. I kept experimenting on this. It always turned out the same result except for the cold water that took longer to unfreeze. I turned the water off and I was still shivering like crazy. I went over to the thermostat and looked where it was. It was on full heat. Normally I would be too hot, but I was really cold. I had no idea why either. I was guessing I had some type of new ice power since I could turn water into ice.
I snapped my fingers. "I got it." I said. Vlad looked over to me. "I have ice powers now." I said. "Is that why you're cold?" He asked. "Yes. I just don't know how to control it…" I said. "I know a spot in the ghost zone that would be perfect. You can control your ice powers and we can fight, not to the death of course, like the old days." He explained. "Yea and me kicking your butt all the time?" I said laughing. "You really think I'm going to go easy on you Daniel? If you think so you are definitely wrong. I'm going to go full out." He said. "That's what I was hoping you'd say." I said while smiling.
Both of us went ghost and flew into the ghost zone. I was following Vlad to a secluded place where we wouldn't find anyone and that I could practice my ice powers with ease. We finally got there and we started the spar. I concentrated on trying to get the ice out of my body and into a blast to hit Vlad, or somewhere else. I brought my hands up and I was trying to push the ice out of my body. Ice came out of my hands and almost hit Vlad till he dodged it.
"D-Did I just do that? Sweet!" I said. "If I didn't dodge in time I would've been frozen!" He yelled. "Well good thing you know how to dodge because this next one is coming straight for your head." I said while making another ice blast. I made another ice blast and threw it at him. Again he dodged it. Did I mention I wasn't even trying to hit him? I just wanted to get these ice powers in control so I wouldn't freeze anymore. He was trying to hit me to but I blocked it with an ice blast. We kept going at this for a while longer till the both of us were tired. We had to go back to my house because we had to stay there for the funeral. We flew back and surprisingly no one came after us, more like me but whatever. We got back home and changed back to normal.
"I'm going to go take a nap." I said while walking upstairs to my room. I got in my room and fell asleep on my bed. This time I didn't have a nightmare for once. I had a dream that Valerie and I were walking together and holding hands. Then we were on a bus for some reason and I patted her head on the way back to my seat. I saw her smile and blush while sitting back in my seat. [4]
Vlad's POV
I saw Daniel going upstairs to his room. I went into the kitchen and made us some dinner since we skipped lunch. I made Daniel's favorite, pasta. I got done making dinner and put the plates on the table. Then I went to wake Daniel up. I walked upstairs quietly because I wanted to watch him sleep before waking him up. I got into his room and saw that he had a smile on his face while sleeping. "Good he's not having a nightmare." I thought to myself. I waited a few minutes and I shook him softly. He picked up a pillow and threw it my way. I easily dodged it. "This better be good I was having a good dream." He said tiredly. "Dinner." I said. "What you make?" He asked. "Go downstairs and find out before I eat it. It's your favorite." I said while walking out the door.
Before I even went downstairs he rushed past me and went downstairs into the kitchen. "Well…someone's hungry." I thought to myself. I walked down the stairs and into the kitchen and Daniel was eager to eat. "Could you have been any slower fruit loop?" He asked me while smiling. "We'll aren't we eager little badger?" I asked while getting the pot with the pasta in it. I put some pasta on both our plates and we began eating.
"I thought you said there wasn't anything edible here?" He asked. "I said there wasn't much. This was one of the only edible things here." I said. "Oh ok. Also this is like the best pasta ever." He said smiling. I smiled a little bit. "Well I need to go shopping tomorrow for some food here. You want to come and get stuff for here with me?" I asked. "I swear to god you wake me up early you're dead." He said. "Wouldn't dream of it Daniel." I said with a small smirk. We got done eating and put our dishes in the sink. "Want to help me with these?" I asked. "Nope." He said smiling. I growled a little bit and did the dishes by myself. Daniel went into the living room and, from what I heard, was watching TV. I finished the dishes and went into the living room. I sat on the couch next to Daniel. He was going through the stations trying to see what was on. "Nope. Nah. I hate that show. No. No. Nah. Oh sweet!" He said finally keeping a channel on.
I just picked up the paper and read it. Nothing interesting in the paper. When is there? The paper had some news about local events, school sports teams, some ghosts in the town, and other stuff that are irrelevant to this story. [5] I just skimmed over everything and as I said nothing interested me till I got to an article about the Packers. It said that they would be playing in Amity Park on Friday. Guess I'll take Daniel to the game on Friday. There was nothing else in the newspaper that I cared to read. By the time I got done skimming over the paper it was like 6pm and the nightly news was on. Not much in the news basically the same thing as the paper. There was nothing interesting.
After a while Daniel got bored and switched positions and his feet were on my lap. "I'm not your foot rest Daniel." I said while shoving his feet off my lap. He kept doing that and I kept shoving them off. He finally gave up and scooted them right by me. There was barely anything on TV, and Daniel was playing on his Gameboy. Whenever the heck he got that I don't know. From the looks of it he was pretty bored and was playing a random game he had in there. He slouched down and his feet were right by my lap. "…What did I say before? I am not a foot rest." I said. "I'm leaning my feet by your lap. They are not on your lap." He said with a smirk. I didn't shove his feet this time.
Danny's POV
I'm surprised he didn't try to shove my feet away from his lap. Well I was bored as heck and was playing Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga on my Gameboy SP. It was just a random game I had in it. I was stuck on this boss and could not for the love of me get past him. [6] I finally gave up and turned the Gameboy off. I couldn't beat him and he was really hard.
[1] and [3] both were ideas that my dad gave me indirectly.
[2] I do that at Old Country Buffet all the time.
[4] My crush actually did that on the bus, coming back from DC, to me when he went back to his seat and I was smiling and blushing.
[5] I broke the 4th wall if you didn't already figure it out.
[6] I was stuck on the boss after you do that maze, but the game decided to be evil on me and erase the file, *Crying starts*, so I have to redo the game.
I am so sorry for not updating this sooner. I had basketball and other stuff also I was doing "A Vacation with Vlad". If you haven't read it please go read it. So thanks for the review and keep reviewing people. :D
