Most of you guys might be asking: Why did I bring Clockwork into this? Well I don't know. My fingers just typed that. X3 without any ado here's the next chapter.
Jeanette9A- Yea it was a silly move and Clockwork is going to give him an earful in this chapter.
Third Person POV
Somewhere deep in the ghost zone there's a tower. There's a boy with brown floating at a tower that can only be accessed by a certain password. He entered the password and was granted permission to enter. "Thank you Master Clockwork." The boy said while floating to the back of the tower. He flew to where the spirit called Clockwork was. He didn't turn around when Jared entered. He just continued to look through his viewing orb. "Clockwork I must speak to you." The boy said. Clockwork turned around and looked at Jared. "I should take away you time powers for betraying me, but since you stopped Dan in the end I won't." Clockwork said. "I'm sorry Clockwork. I don't know what made me do it." Jared said while handing Clockwork the thermos with Dan in it. "You almost destroyed this timeline. I put you there to make sure nothing bad happens to Danielle. I warned you to not mess with the balance of the time sequence and look what happened Dan almost destroyed the balance of that timeline." Clockwork explained.
*At Danny's House*
Danny's POV
Vlad and I sat in silence as we finished dinner. Then I heard Dani coming down. "So what's for supper?" She asked. "Pasta." I said. "Oh sweet!" She exclaimed. Both Vlad and I stared at her. "What is there something on my face?" She asked confused. Vlad and I was quiet since we didn't want to tell her if she didn't remember. She looked over to us and saw we had some bruises on our arms and that our clothes were torn. "I fall asleep for once hour and this is what happens? You go out training in the ghost zone without me?" She asked. "We were going to wake you up, but it looked like you were tired." I said lying through my teeth. Hopefully she'd believe me. "Oh. Well next time you go training take me with you!" She said. "Will do." I said. We finished out food and I went to go do the dishes but Vlad stopped me. "No, no Daniel I got them." He said. "No I got them Vlad." I said. We continued on like this for about 5 minutes. "Just let me do the damn dishes." I screamed.
"Oh for the love of… I got them! You two go in the living room and MAKE WITH THE NICE!" Dani screamed. We both looked at her and we surprised by her reaction. We stopped arguing, but then continued. "Vlad let me do something nice for you for once!" I screamed. "I said I had this Daniel!" Vlad screamed. "Fine you fruit loop! Don't let me help you with the chores around MY house!" I screamed while walking out the door. "Danny!" I heard Dani scream. I changed to my ghost form and flew away.
Dani's POV
"Danny come back!" I screamed. Then I saw Vlad turn into his ghost half and fly down to the basement. I followed him. "Where are you going?" I asked. "I'm going in the ghost zone to cool off. You stay here!" He said while opening the portal and flying in. this argument couldn't have set them off that bad… Could it? I mean the dishes weren't that bad… I walked back up to the kitchen and did the dishes so they wouldn't argue when they came back. I got done with the dishes and went in my room and took a nap.
Danny's POV
I was flying around town letting out some steam of what happened today. I can't believe Jared would do something like that. I also can't believe Dani doesn't remember what happened. He must've hit her harder than we saw. Then my ghost sense went off. I flew to where the ghost was. It was heading straight for my house. I flew as fast as I could back so they wouldn't hurt Dani. I got back to my house and found them in my room. It was Skulker. He was about to blast Dani so I blasted him first. "Stay away from my cousin Skulker!" I said while blasting him. Dani woke up and quickly turned ghost after she saw Skulker. "Whelp what are you doing here?" He asked. "Dude I live here." I said while punching him. "I got the thermos." Dani said while pushing the button and sucking Skulker in it. Dani and I high fived each other. Then we both switched back to our human halves. We both went downstairs and watched TV. Then I went down the basement to put Skulker back in the ghost zone. As soon as Skulker was back in the ghost zone Vlad flew back through the portal in his ghost form.
"What are you doing Daniel?" He asked. "Skulker decided to try and hurt Dani so I fought him while she got the thermos and sucked him in." I explained. Vlad had a short look of worry on his face. "Don't worry she's fine, I flew back just in time." I said. He relaxed a bit and then changed back to his human half. We walked back upstairs and to the living room. I sat down on the couch then noticed that Dani had fallen asleep. "Your turn to take her upstairs I did it last time." I said. He rolled his eyes at me and then picked her up and took her to her room. Then he came back down and sat on the chair right by the couch. "Are we going back to your place tomorrow?" I asked. "Do you want to?" He asked me with a knowing look. "I kind of do, but I'm sure Valerie wants me to stay. I'm also pretty sure that Dani will still want to see Jared." I explained. "Your hero complex is going to be the death of me one day young Daniel. What do you want?" He asked. I looked down. No one had ever asked what I wanted before. Well except after my entire family died and I was allowed to either stay with my mom's sister, who I barely knew, or Vlad. I chose to go with Vlad because he was the only one who understood me. "I-I don't want to stay here…" I said remembering what happened when we first came here. [1] Vlad came over and sat by me on the couch. "It's because of the first time we came here isn't it?" He asked. I shook my head. "You've been too strong for too long little badger. It's ok to not be strong sometimes." He said while patting my head.
*Flashback*
"Dude you can't blame yourself for this." Tucker said. "No but they are my responsibility." I said. [2]
"I will never be like you!" I exclaimed. "Since our family and friends are gone you'll become me. I still exist!" Dan said. "I won't!" I said. "Let's see you're with uncle cheese head over there since everyone you know and love are-" Dan said because I blasted him with my ice blast. [3]
*Flashback Over*
"You've been holding the weight of this town on your shoulders for too long Daniel." Vlad said. "But no one else can do it." I said. "Did you ever ask your friends and sister to help?" He asked. "Yes, but when it was really late at night I couldn't. I didn't ask for these ghost powers! Sometimes I wish I could just get rid of them so I wouldn't have this burden." I explained. Then I felt him slap me. "What the hell was that for?" I asked while holding my cheek. "Haven't I told you before that these powers aren't a burden? They are special and don't you ever forget that Daniel." He said. "I know but sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I didn't have them…" I said. "It would probably be the same except you'd get hurt more from the ghosts." He said. I rolled my eyes at him. "Yea, yea whatever I'm going to bed." I said while getting up and walked away. I then looked back and I saw that Vlad was getting a blanket to sleep on the couch. "You know Vlad you can sleep in my parents' room…" I said. "I don't feel like I deserve to." He said with a sad look.
I walked back to Vlad and put a hand on his shoulder. "Dude you deserve to sleep on their bed. I mean your back is probably killing you by now since you've been sleeping on the couch ever since we came here. My parents would probably be proud if they were still here… I know my mom would like you a lot better." I explained. Then I walked up the steps and looked back at Vlad. "Just think about it." I said while smiling and walking to my room. I went into my room and went on my bed. I then fell asleep.
Vlad's POV
I decided to take Daniel's advice and go and sleep in Maddie and Jack's room. I just hope he was right. I went upstairs and walked into their room. Then I went on their bed and fell asleep.
[1] See chapter 2.
[2] Real conversation in the episode Reign Storm.
[3] Took place last chapter when Jared took Dani to the house.
