Another update! :D Thank you everyone for reviews and all of that jazz. :) Enjoy chapter 9: All is as it Should Be!

Danny sighed as he shut the 'textbook' with all the laws of the Ghost Zone, it wasn't as thick as Danny had first thought it might be but that didn't mean it still wasn't thick and heavy.

"I finally finished it!" Danny said grinning, it had token three weeks to read and memorize them all, but he was happy with his accomplishment.

"About time, Little Brother." Jazz laughs from the door way of the little class room Danny usually worked in.

"Be quiet, Jazz." Danny laughs. "How and your boyfriend doing?"

Jazz blushed. "Writer isn't my boyfriend."

"Denial always comes first." Danny shook his head in mock sadness.

"You and Sam were the same way." Jazz gasped after she said this and covered her mouth.

Danny stiffened slightly and looked away. "Yea, we were, but it was just fake."

Jazz pulled Danny into a hug. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that!"

Danny smiled at his older sister. "It's fine Jazz, don't worry."

"Maybe, but I know it still hurts you.' Jazz states. 'You don't have to act like you're made of stone, you may not be glass either but you can't act like nothing gets to you, got it?"

Danny laughed. "Ok, but technically I am kind of like stone, I can get thrown into a building and barely get a scratch now after all Clockwork's training."

Jazz rolled her eyes. "Just don't throw your self at buildings on purpose and I guess I'm ok with it."

It was true, Danny's skin had become stronger with the rest of him since Clockwork started training and with Writer teaching him he had become a lot more focused. He had even come up with a new trick similar to what he had used on Undergrowth except this was far more stronger, what he did was he put unstable ecto-energy in a ecto-ice casing and when he throw it what ever it hit blew up. Kind of like a grenade, and Danny thought it was epic. Of course Clockwork had been helping Jazz and Danni too, though Jazz was not as strong as the twins she could still fire ecto-blasts and could use words like Lydia used her tattoos.

Danni was not as strong as Danny but far closer then Jazz was, she couldn't control ice like Danny could, but she could use her eyes and feet to shot ecto-energy where Danny could only do that with his ice. Of course Danni was bothered at all that her older brother was stronger then her, she loved him and her loved her and they both had Jazz and that was really she really cared about.

Jazz and Writer had in deed started dating within the second week of meeting. Danny being the brother of the family made sure to make Writer promise to not hurt his sister, Danny knew he wouldn't but it was just how it worked.

Clockwork had become a father to all of them, far better then Jack Fenton or Vlad Masters ever were.

"Danny are you listening to me?" A voice shook Danny from his deep musing.

"Huh? What?" He asked looking up to annoyed older sister's face.

"You have been zoned out for the past five minutes! What where you thinking about?" Jazz asked.

"Our new family and what might happen next." Danny says with a sigh.

"Why are you worried? Our old parents and ex-friends aren't around anymore, so what are you worried about?" Jazz knots her brows.

"Vlad." Danny states simply.

Jazz bleached slightly, after all she knew about Dan, but she still even thought of that monster as being her sweet, heroic little brother. "He is still after you?!"

"As far as I know.' Danny sighs, he pulled a small clock gear charm on a thin necklace from under his cloak and shirt and showed it to her. 'Clockwork gave me this to hide from Skulker's sensors, Writer has said that some of my enemies have came by to ask him if he has seen me, luckily it had always be around the times I was training at Clockwork's."

Jazz rubbed a hand over her face. "That crazy Fruitloop."

Danny laughed. "You can say that again."

Jazz giggled. "That crazy Fruitloop!"

The sibling bust out laughing, they held each other up as she strolled from the room and into the main library.

"What are you two laughing so much about?" Danni asked as she floats over to them.

"We are talking about how much a Fruitloop Vlad is." Danny laughs.

Danni joined into the laughing and soon all three were rolling on the floor.

Writer floated in with a small handful of books, he looked to the siblings that where rolling around laughing and trying to breath, before he shook his head. "I'm not even going to ask."

Clockwork come in and smiled. "Daniel? If your done laughing it is time to come home, you can joke about Plasmius sanity tomorrow."

That made the kids burst into even more laughing, but getting up Danny hugged his sisters and flew over to his dad. "He-he bye, guys!"

"Bye!" The girls chorused.

Danny and Clockwork flew away, slowly Danny's giggles left him and soon they where moving in silence.

"Is Vlad going to find me any time soon?" Danny suddenly asks.

They stopped and Clockwork turned to face him. "Why do you ask that, Daniel?"

Danny sighed and ran a hand through his hair under his hood; he tended to put his hood up when out in the open. "I have a bad feeling; I don't know when it will happen. I just know something bad is going to happen, so can you tell me?"

Clockwork sighed and placed a hand on Danny's shoulder, using the other with his time staff to push down his hood and look him in the eye. Toxic green to blood red.

"I can not tell you, Daniel, but I will tell that your family will be there for you." Clockwork says gravely.

Danny sighed, but put on a smile. "Then that is about as much as I can hope for, I guess."

Clockwork smiled back, he pushed open the door. "No training today Daniel, go get some rest you did good today."

Danny blushed but quickly made his to his room before Clockwork could think to change his mind, making him chuckle lightly.

Clockwork turned to his elder form and the graveness returned, turning around and giving the hallway Danny had took one last sad look before moving over to his Time Screen.

It came to life and it was blurry for a moment before it straightened out, on the screen showed a bruised and blood covered Daniel, lying in the middle of the Ghost Zone with all the ghosts, allies and enemies around him.

Clockwork sighed and it turned to black. "All is as it should be."

Teleporting to Danny's room, he moved over to his son who was snoring softly in his ghost form. Since he was in the Ghost Zone, his body naturally stayed in his ghost half to protect him.

Clockwork fazed Danny's cloak off and set it at the end of the bed, moving back to his neck he pulled the necklace he had given Daniel into view and fazed it off too.

"Please know I'm doing this for the Ghost Zone's safety as well as yours." He kissed Danny's forehead and floated out of the room.

(I'm torturing you guys aren't I? :D)

Floating in the middle of the forbidden Region, Skulker looked at his tracker. It had been two days since Plasmius had given him and the other's that chance to have Amity and he was going to be the one to find the Whelp.

"Where are you, Ghost Child?" He asks softly as he looked around.

Beep beep beep! Skulker looked at his tracker, a spot appeared then disappeared again.

Skulker grinned. "There you are."

Cliffy! :D R&R! Ta.
