Ok before starting I will mention something that I forgot to say in the previous chapter: Albert is my OC (Original Character) I will post in my channel more details about him, so that you know. Well, I hope you enjoy this chapter. And remember: English is my second idiom, Spanish first one. I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM!

Chapter 5: A deal

Maddie kept looking outside the window, worried about what could happen. Jack was as worried as his wife, but he had to stay calm. However, the more he saw the humans walking around their city the more nervous he got. He looked worriedly at his son, who was still asleep. He smiled and looked at Maddie.

"We have to warn everybody about this" said Jack. Maddie put an arm on his shoulder.

"But the humans could spot you" she warned him. He rubbed his chin for a few moments before replying.

"Don't worry dear. I've got a solution" was the only said before disappearing in front of Maddie. She wished him good luck and got closer to her baby, in case he needed her protection.

Jack flew towards every home and starting telling the ghosts about the humans. They shivered and nodded, helping Jack to warn the city. In a few time everybody knew about the presence of humans in there and decided to stay home.

Jack returned to his home few time later, reached Albert's room and when he saw his wife and his son safe, he sighed and got closer to them, completely forgetting to turn visible first. When he touched her gently, she gasped and turned, getting ready to fight.

"Oh sorry dear" apologized Jack and then turned visible. Maddie sighed in relief.

"Try not to do that the next time please" she said, making Jack smile weakly before looking at the window again. In fact there were 3 humans: The tallest one had white hair with grey stripes, a black suit and black shoes. The smallest one had black hair, was wearing glasses, a white suit and black shoes. Lastly, the middle one had brown hair with white stripes a black suit with white shoes. Suddenly they started speaking.

"Ok I've been wondering why we came here in the first place" said the smallest one.

"Oh my dear assistant. I know you are so new on this business thing, so it's Ok if you don't get it" replied the tallest one.

"Well, as you know I have been by your side for 3 years and I'm definitely not new, but I also don't understand this" commented the middle one.

"I know it will be difficult to understand it at first, but when we make it you will have it clear" said the tallest. The other two looked at him somewhat confused.

"And do you know where do we have to ask?" asked the smallest.

"He told me where, so don't worry" told the others before looking at the Fenton's house.

"Well, here it is" said the tallest while pointing at the building. He got closer and knocked the door.

When Jack and Maddie heard the knock, they gasped and looked at themselves, unsure on what to do.

"Dear… should we go downstairs and check what they want?" asked Maddie.

"I don't know. What if it's a trap?" replied Jack worried. They heard another knock a minute later.

"I've got a plan. You stay here taking care of Albert, and I'll go check the humans" suggested Jack. Maddie nodded and got closer to Albert.

"Please take care" she told him before he flew downstairs. He opened the door and looked at the trio seriously.

"How can I help you?" he asked, making the tallest turn and look at him. He cleared hi throat before answering.

"Good afternoon, my name is Vlad Masters; these are my assistants and we came here to make a deal with you and your citizens. Jack got curious.

"A deal?" he asked.

"Oh… you seem to be interested, excellent" Vlad said with a smile.

"Give me an explanation" he ordered, still seriously.

"If you wish. You see, we were told that you ended up here, and so we decided to get help from you, as you are very strong and smart" explained. Jack frowned, making Vlad laugh weakly.

"You could help us in important investigations, experiments and other things like that" told to Jack.

"And what we would get in exchange?" asked Jack.

"Ah yes…the reward. We will give you some supply" replied.

"Who are you to make a deal?" talked a voice coming from behind Jack. He turned and looked at his wife, surprised.

"Dear, why you aren't with Albert?" asked in a soft voice.

"I'm sorry dear, but when I heard about the deal thing I came here because I wanted to know more" Maddie replied softly.

"Ahem" Vlad interrupted the Fenton's conversation, making them look at him. "I will introduce myself again. My name is Vlad Masters, and I am an important millionaire"

"I'm Leo, Vlad's first assistant" said the middle human.

"And my name is Gilbert, second assistant of Vlad" spoke the smallest human.

"Now that you know us better, you can trust on us, can't you?" asked Vlad. Jack looked at Maddie and then back to the millionaire.

"We haven't taken a decision yet, and besides, we have to talk with the other ghosts" explained Jack. Vlad looked at his assistants for a few seconds before speaking.

"Ok, you have until tomorrow in the morning to make a decision. You should have it by that time. If you say yes, you will get more details about this" said with a smile and walked away being followed by Gilbert and Leo.

"Jack… were you serious?" asked Maddie, confused. Jack shook his head and started playing with his fingers nervously.

"Sincerely I'm not even sure. I was so nervous I just wanted them to go away" replied. Maddie smiled and touched his shoulder.

"Ok dear, don't worry. We will see it with everybody" she said gently. This made Jack smile and relax.

"Now it's my turn to call them" offered herself. Jack nodded and sat down while he saw her wife flying from a home to another, ghosts coming out. Few hours later they were all reunited. The Fentons were at the front of everyone.

"Now we will explain why you were all called here" started Jack.

"The humans we told you about came to our home and talked about a deal" continued Maddie and let the others whisper a little between themselves. When she saw they were paying attention again, she kept on.

"As we were saying, they wanted to make a deal. It was about lending them our strength and intelligence"

"And in exchange we would get supply" finished Jack.

"How are we sure they will do as they say?" asked Paige. Maddie shook her head.

"We don't even know" she replied.

"If they don't do as promised, we won't provide any help!" exclaimed Jeremy, making every ghost shout happily.

"So…It is a deal?" asked Maddie. The ghosts shouted again as her reply.

"Good. Thanks for coming here, now you can-" she was cut off by a loud cry coming from a home. Jack and Maddie looked at themselves.

"Albert!" they exclaimed and flew towards their home. Most of the ghosts looked at the couple curiously before going to their own homes.

Jack and Maddie didn't bother to use the door-they phased through instead. When they reached their baby's room Jack covered his ears: he couldn't stand his cries. Maddie grabbed him and flew outside the house and landed near. As soon as she did, Albert stopped crying and clapped his hands happily. Jeremy, Pamela, Paige, and Maurice got closer to Maddie and looked at her son.

"He is such a cute thing" said Pamela.

"Yeah, and he's got Maddie's eyes" commented Jeremy, making Maddie blush weakly. Suddenly Albert started floating and flying in circles above the adults.

"Wow… he is quite young and he already flying. It took me 2 years to fly" said Maurice, surprised.

"Yes… I'm so proud of him" said Jack with a smile. Albert yawned and started closing his eyes slowly. Jack flew towards his son and grabbed him before he felt asleep.

"Ok, it's getting late. It's time to rest" said Jack while looking at the dark sky and the shining moon.

"Yep. Well… see you tomorrow then" said Pamela and looked at a sleeping Albert.

"Good night cute thing" she said before leaving along with Jeremy. The other just smiled and flew away. Maddie and Jack looked at them as they disappeared. Few minutes later they also flied towards their home. As soon as they entered Albert's room, Jack placed Albert in his bed, smiled and walked toward his room, being followed by Maddie.

The next day arrived. Jack and Maddie woke up early to check Albert. Suddenly they heard giggles coming from the ceiling. When they looked up, they saw their baby floating.

"Mom, dad" said Albert and giggled, making both feel proud and happy. They played with their son for a while, Pamela joining them later. They were interrupted by strong knocks. Maddie flew downstairs and opened the door, Vlad and his assistants standing there.

"And tell me…what was your decision?" he asked.

"We have accepted, but with some conditions. First, we want to see our reward". Vlad moved his hand. 2 helicopters landed and opened their doors, revealing lots of supply.

"Good. Last, explain more about the deal" she asked. Vlad cleared his throat.

"Well, to get help from you, we have to connect your city with the world. That way you will also get more supply. I hope you agree with that" explained. Maddie rubbed her chin.

"Ok, as you wish" she replied, making Vlad smile. He whistled, and lots of machines came to start the construction.

"I also have something to ask" said a male voice from behind Maddie.

"How did you know about us? Who told you?" asked Jack. Vlad started laughing nervously, making Jack and Maddie look at him seriously.

"Let's say it was a whisper I heard. I couldn't even see who was talking to me" he replied and walked away. His assistants followed him.

"Who could it be?" asked Jack.

"I don't know dear…I don't know" she said.
