Author: Okay everyone we passed our first hurdle (a.k.a Danny's "mommy") Now I know a few of you have been concerned about hat his family and friends think. But remember only two days have passed since Danny was changed. So they shouldn't really worry until Monday heeheehee.
Chapter six
-In the Human Realm-
Sam Manson, trainee ghost hunter and all time eco-vegetarian goth stared at her phone as she continued laying on her bed. It had been days since Danny had lost contacted her. Truthfully it wasn't all that unusual for him to spend the weekend sleeping but he always sent her or Tucker (all time meat eater and techno geek) a message letting them know he hadn't been kidnapped or something. Tossing her phone on the bedspread she rolled onto her side burying her face in a pillow.
Sam knew deep down that she was more concerned then a normal friend would be. She knew she had a major crush on the teen hero but something inside her wouldn't let her say anything. It was almost like she afrai-
"Sam! Your friend is here!" Her grandma called breaking off her last thought.
"Okay coming grams!" She called back getting up.
Racing down the stares she couldn't help but hope it was Danny. She was only slightly disappointed when Tucker waved at her.
"Yo sup?" He asked as they made their way to the entertainment center.
"Just waiting you know, that and contemplating the doom that is going to befall our world." She answered.
"Still nothing from Danny? You know it's not the first time he's forgotten to text us." Tucker said in a comforting tone.
"I know I just can't help but think that something bad happened to him." Sam said as she ruffled through the thousands of movies they had.
"I'm sure he;s fine." Tucker said pulling out his phone and texting someone.
-In the ghost realm-
"Come back here Danny!" Skulker yelled as he tore through the house after the baby.
"No Daddy! You gotta catch me!" Danny yelled flying through another room.
"Danny we don't have time for this!" Skulker yelled phasing through the walls after him.
Danny just giggled and continued running away throwing away the clothes Skulker had managed to get on him. Skulker let out a sharp sigh as he stopped to catch his breath. This was even more tiring then fighting the whelp on a daily bases. Clenching his hands he dashed through one room and hid himself. After a few minutes Danny appeared around the corner looking for him.
"Daddy?"
Skulker slowly and silently made his way behind the boy and scooped him up. Danny laughed and giggled as Skulker swung him through the air before settling him on his shoulders.
"You caught me! Daddy is the best catcher ever!" Danny yelled as Skulker carried him to the living room.
"You got that right. Now come on and let's get you dressed. Mr. Masters is waiting for us." Skulker said.
"Okay Daddy is mommy coming?" Danny asked as Skulker started to get him dressed.
Skulker nearly fell over when Danny asked him that. Swallowing hard Skulker thought to last night when the issue had first come up.
-flashback-
"How was he? You didn't have too much trouble did you?" Skulker asked the moment he returned.
"No I had no trouble with either of them. Youngblood practically played the evening away while Nicholas just allowed himself to be dragged along. I had a nice evening, if you need anyone to watch him again don't hesitate to call." Desiree said as she handed Danny back to him.
"I'll take you up on that. Thanks Desiree you are a life saver." Skulker said as he hefted Danny onto his shoulder.
"Of course. Good night then Skulker, Nicholas." With that Desiree turned to go.
That's when it happened.
"Where's mommy going?" Danny asked rubbing his eyes tiredly.
Both ghosts froze at that. Skulker looked down at the boy as Desiree looked uncertain what to do. Danny looked at them both waiting for an answer before he started to cry. Skulker who still didn't know what to do with a crying Danny looked helplessly at Desiree. She smiled softly at him after a moment then leaned down and wiped one of Danny's tears away catching his attention.
"Mommy has to go now but I'll be back later alright?" She asked softly.
"We'll pway?" He asked sniffling pitifully.
"Of course all of us will, you, me, even Daddy. I promise." With that she leaned down and kissed his cheek.
"Okay mommy." Danny replied kissing her back, "See yoo later."
'Bye sweetheart." With that Desiree left with a small wave.
-End Flashback-
After that he and Danny had taken a bath then gone to bed. He really wasn't sure why Danny saw Desiree as his mother but so far it really hadn't caused him any problems. Putting a smile on his face he nodded which caused Danny to clap and struggle to put on his shirt.
That was the other thing that bothered Skulker.
Yesterday Danny was about the size of a one year old. Today however he resembled a six year old. He had called Technus about it but the news he got wasn't something he was happy about.
"His body is adjusting to the potion so it's no wonder he's grown. I don't know how long but if his body continues to grow like that then he should be returned to his rightful age in no time. Wasn't that what you wanted?" Technus had explained.
Skulker wasn't sure anymore. Sure he had the chance to change Danny back last night when called Desiree. The thought however hadn't crossed his mind. If he was being truthful right now he had to admit that he didn't want Danny to turn back anymore. He was happy being a father, an opportunity that he never had when he was alive. Being a blood thirsty hunter had really cut into his social life.
"Come on Daddy! Mommy is waiting for us!" Danny said pulling on his leg to get his attention.
"Alright buddy let me just grab the bag and we can go." Skulker said smiling as he patted the boys head.
"K Daddy I love you!" Danny said with a gleaming smile before running away to pick up a toy plane.
Skulker felt his true heart clench in misery. What was he going to do now?
-Back in the human world-
"What do you mean Danny hasn't been home in the last few days?!" Sam yelled into her phone.
"I thought you knew, or at least he was with one of you!" Jazz yelled back the concern seeping into her voice.
"This is terrible! Have you tried locating him? What if he's stuck in the ghost world and can't get home!" Sam was almost hysterical by now.
"I did nothing came up! If he doesn't show up soon I don't know how much longer I'll be able to stall mom and dad." Sam could almost imagine Jazz pacing back and forth as she spoke.
"Don't worry we'll think of something. And as soon as we do I'll call you." Sam promised determination burning brightly in her eyes.
"Please do. I hope he's okay."
"Me too. " Sam replied before hanging up.
Where was Danny? Was he okay? Clenching her hands into a fist she rushed over and grabbed Tucker by the back of his shirt hauling him away.
"Hey the movie's not over yet!" He whined dropping the bag of popcorn in his hands.
"Doesn't matter Danny needs us now and I'm not going to fail him." Sam replied with out looking.
"Okay so where are we going?" Tucker asked as Sam continued to drag him away.
"There's only one person I can think of that should know where Danny is. We're going to visit a certain fruitloop." She muttered angrily to herself.
Vlad will know.
She had to believe that because the alternative was just too horrible to think about.
Author: So this happened. Yeah. Sam has a crush on Danny but we all knew that. What we didn't know however! Skulker doesn't wanna lose DANNY! Muwahahahaha I am evil. Look forward to the next chapter.
