Hi guys!!! Sorry for the long wait! My story line got fuzzy, but I am in the mountains now, fresh off the slopes. I am re-inspired and have defeated the treaded writer's block! Thanks to EvryGi for the ideas that made this story come together so well and for deadlydaisy8o8 for poking me. Now, on with the show!

Danny soon forgot all about his brief encounter with Vlad, he was having too much fun. He had loosened his flying abilities a bit and was trying to using his "natural" abilities more. With the return of her klutzy son Maddie's suspensions from earlier completely disappeared. The three were having the best bonding time they had ever had. They laughed at each other's crashes (after asking 'Are you ok?', of course), and enjoyed two more hot chocolate breaks as they skied or in Danny's case snowboarded for the rest of the day.
"Oh, I'm getting tired," said the usually energetic Jack.
"I know so am I, how about you Danny?, " asked Maddie.
"I'm always tired," mumbled Danny.
"What?"
"Uh, um, nothing," Danny frantically said.
"Well ok," Maddie said giving Danny a weird look, "I think the lifts are about to close anyway, how about one more run, before we go check into our hotel."
"Ok," said Danny and Jack as they started to ski to the nearest ski lift. About seven minutes later they arrived at a lift.
"Excuse me folks, but this lift is clos… I mean I was about to close! You folks are my last group, ski on up here," said the lift operator with a weird look.
"Alright, let's go. This is fun and all, but I'm about done and it's getting colder out here," Danny said as he watched his breath passed in front of his face.
As the chair came up behind the Fenton family, Danny glanced back and saw the operator smiling at him in an oddly familiar way.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
"Oh your just tried sweetie, one more run and we'll go to the hotel," said Maddie.
"Yeah, and order room service," added Jack.
"You're probably right," said Danny trying to push the uneasy feeling away.
Meanwhile the operator watched the lift climb higher and higher up the mountain.
"The fun is just beginning, ghost child."
