Vlad was furious, no, ENRAGED. His dear, sweet Madeline, had denied her own child. Had refused to believe that he had become a halfa, that he was half ghost.

Vlad glared at the phone as it rang and the caller ID said 'Fenton' on it. He picked it up and hissed into it, "What!"

"Vlad, have you seen Danny? He was possessed by Phantom and went missing." It was Maddie's voice. He couldn't help but only feel more anger.

"Yes, in fact I have seen Daniel."

"Oh my god, is he-"

"I assure you, a few blasts from your weaponry is nothing to worry about for a human. Too bad he is in horrible pain because of his ghost half."

There was a gasp, "That is not Danny I think I would-"

"Know your own son? Well for one if you know your own son SO well, stop trying to dissect him and, instead, try to find out what made him that way. I'll give you a hint: The same thing happened to another person who got involved in a similar accident!" he slammed the phone back onto the holder. "Marie," he turned to the maid who was making his bed. The poor girl jumped at the sound of her own name after listening to him rant something intelligible into the phone, "Please have the Fenton family blocked from my phone lines."

"Yes sir, Mr. Masters!" she squeaked.

He sighed as she left. This will become quite troublesome.

Vlad and I sat at a short table with maids standing near. We had just finished Dinner without a word, though we still just sat there. Me because I was waiting for him to leave so I could. He sat perfectly still and looked off into the distance. Occasionally, I caught him catching glances at me.

"Leave us." Vlad moved his hand in a waving motion. The maids jumped and bowed before retreating. I had jumped as well, just by the silence being broken so easily.

Vlad looked me straight in the eye, which honestly scared me. "Daniel, how long do you plan on staying here?" he jumped and added, "N-not that I want you to leave, just I would like to know, since when you told me you wanted to stay here, it sounded like you were thinking it would be temporary."

"I don't know, Tucker was the one that suggested I stay here. I was surprised though when you welcomed me with open arms. I was expecting a lot more questions to be honest. And maybe a few ecto-blasts, with the usual witty banter." I heard him sigh.

"Daniel, no matter for how long, you were always welcome in my home, you still are. In fact, I would prefer if you lived here."

I gave him a skeptical look, "Really now? You have an odd way of showing it. And what about my mom? Don't you still have the hots for her?" I smirked a bit, but when I saw his face go red, it wasn't from embarrassment, that was pure rage. I swallowed hard and began to sink back in on myself.

He noticed what he was doing then sighed. "I'm sorry Daniel, just the mere thought of the sweet Madeline I knew in college, turning a gun on a child. Her own child, just fills me with absolute RAGE!" with that the table cloth burst into flames.

I quickly blew cold air across it and put it out. Though Vlad was frozen as well. He got out of it easily with his flame core though. "Thank you Daniel."

I chuckled, "No problem frootloop."

He raised an eyebrow, "Really now, Daniel? If you get to call me 'Fruitloop' I get to call you 'Little Badger'."

I pouted, "Where'd you even get that nickname 'Little Badger'?"

He chuckled, "You really think that the reunion was our first meeting? No dear boy before then I had come over every now and then to babysit you while your parents were gone. You like to ask questions, and meddle with things. Basically you liked to 'Badger' me." he finished with a smirk.

I nodded, "Yes and I call you a 'Crazed-up Frootloop' for obvious reasons." I smirked to him. He smiled in a warm way, as opposed to his usual evilness.

My phone began ringing in my pocket just as I got out of the shower. I picked it up and saw that it was Sam.

"Danny? Are you ok? Tucker told me that you went to Wisconsin to see Vlad! He didn't hurt you did he?"

"No, Sam I'm fine, just a little shaken. I did accidentally trip his ghost security system though."

"OH MY GOD! HOW CAN YOU BE ALRIGHT ARE YOU SURE YOU"RE NOT FULL OF HOLES?"

I chuckled, "It was just a net that took me to his lab in front of the ghost portal. I'm sure that if I was any other ghost I'd have just been thrown back into the ghost zone." It's times like this I appreciate Sam's motherly-ness. Times when I can't go to my real mom.

"Oh. Well how is he treating you? If he's treating you well I want to live there too. Ever since it got out that you were phantom, though not in the right way, I've been suspected of being Ember and Tuck is apparently Skulker. I'm sure there are a million Ember look-a-likes out there, but me?"

I stifled a laugh, Tucker and Skulker? Sam and Ember is understandable, the gloom and doom looks along with the ponytail is believable. But Tucker and Skulker? Ha! Tucker and Technus is more likely, I mean, I know Tucker loves his tech, but he has terrible aim. "I'll ask, I might even ask Ember and Skulker to kidnap you two."

"I hate this. I hate how you have to hide away, even after how much you've done for this city. It's pitiful really, how they act."

"Don't worry Sam, Vlad doesn't restrict dark colors." I held up a pair of dark blue pajamas, "He encourages it really."
