Hey again, I've been noticing that the chapters have been a little too short lately so I'm going to make them about 4 pages long so that means about 1,500 words each chapter or if it's all bunched up, I'll still make them 4 pages long.

Anyway, sorry it's a little late but I've been out and home all day and also chattin to friends and doin a GIMP picture as well as mi parents -_-

This chapter is meant to be a few minor events but mainly Danny's 16th birthday and maybe Phantom's 2nd birthday if I'm making it that long.

So, on with the longer chapter! ^^

Danny Phantom © Butch Hartman

It was hard for them, they just wanted to complete the final stage of their relationship but no matter where they hid or what they did, someone or something would get in their way.

Phantom was getting sick and tired of this, he wondered if they could do this on his 16th instead. Well, they'd be the only two celebrating it as well. It wouldn't be one of those big fancy parties with balloons, cake and lots of people. It would just be the two of them enjoying a nice little snack somewhere safe and quiet.

After an hour of flying around the ghost zone, they flew through a purple floating door which led to a small room with what seemed to be empty and clean. Phantom set his partner down while thinking about what they should do until Danny's 16th. It was only a few days away so what would they do? Hide until then? Or make out until then?

Somehow, both options were not as satisfying as they thought. Even with them being in the same room with small amounts of hormones being released it still wasn't enough to entertain the both. They done nothing for about a day and a half

"This is lame."

"I know." Danny answered sitting across the room from him while leaning against the wall.

"What are we supposed to do?"

"Well why don't we…you know..?"

Phantom blushed a deep red. "Uhh….maybe not today."

Danny's feeling changed to upset and confused as well as his expression. "What? Why not? We're finally alone and you don't want to do it?"

"Well I do but it's just that…there's not uh…bed in here..?"

Danny stood up and looked furious as he folded his arms impatiently. "Is that so? So I suppose for us to have a little fun we need to have a bed?!"

"What?" Phantom asked confused as he stood up as well. "No, that's not what I meant."

"Oh, and how about yesterday huh? And the day before that? We were underneath an abandoned jetty and we were both in the mood for it! And how about in the ghost zone when we were near the ghost kings castle?"

"No, Danny. That's not what I meant!"

Danny shook his hands in anger; he covered his eyes in shame. "I've wanted to do this with you and you just too…ugh picky! I thought we mattered the most!"

"We do, it's just that we need a comfy place to-"

"Oh, is that all? So in order to be happy we need a comfy place!?"

"Danny, you're overreacting. Calm down." Phantom pleaded.

"I am not! I just want to have fun with you and you want to make a fuss about it!"

Phantom approached Danny with caution and fully aware that Danny could hurt him. Danny's face was red with fury and disappointment.

"Danny look, I want to but I'm just not ready for this. C'mon Danny, you're nearly 16 and I'm not even two years old yet. "

"You'll be two years old in March, it's January now." Danny stated crossing his arms and turning away.

"Danny, I think we're just going through a rough patch in our relationship."

"Take me home."

Phantom's eyes were wide open with shock. "A-are you sure? But what about Sam and your parents?"

"I'm sure Jazz will understand…now take me home." Danny demanded.

Phantom turned his back to Danny; he refused to go back there. He knew what dangers are still lurking there this very minute.

"I won't."

"What?!"

Danny turned around to see Phantom looking the other way while folding his arms and refusing to do that. "You'd better do it, or I'm gunna….s-scream or something!"

Phantom laughed at the sound of Danny doing that. "Pfft, isn't that what you're doing to me now?"

Danny's mouth was open with confusion. "Wait what? Look, either take me home or I'll never sleep with you!"

Phantom turned around, this made Danny smile and feel a little better inside but Phantom still didn't look pleased at what Danny was trying to do.

"No. And besides, there's a good chance that we will do it if we're in the same room together."

Danny growled then turned his back to Phantom. "Fine, if you won't take me, then I'll take myself!"

Phantom gasped and saw Danny dashing out the door before he could protest, Phantom growled as his patience thinned. He quickly followed after Danny who was trying to make his way there as fast as he could.

He was using his arms as if he was doing freestyle but it was no use, it only got him a few metres away from the door that he came out from. Danny was panting due to loss of energy; he then heard that same door slam open then shut. He knew well enough that was Phantom chasing after him, but right behind him without any sense was Vlad Plasmius.

Phantom was about to dash towards Danny when he heard the sound of a deep croaky voice on his shoulder.

"Well, if it isn't the other half of Danny?"

Phantom gasped as he turned his head to the evil ugly face of red beady eyes and that dent in his cheek.

Danny was unaware that Phantom was getting destroyed by Vlad, he just assumed that it was another random ghost attack from Skulker or some other ghost that he hated but surprisingly, his ghost sense didn't go off. Maybe it was Valerie saving him from Phantom, Danny thought. But then he realised that his ghost sense was part of Phantom's body, not his.

But still, Danny carried on as fast as he could while using all the energy he had left to get back to the Fenton portal.

At Danny's house…

Jack was sound asleep in a chair in front of the ghost portal with a ghost weapon in his lap; his snoring was heard from upstairs in the kitchen where Jazz was quietly studying the problems of troubled teens so she could somehow help Danny with his problems if he ever returned.

Meanwhile, Maddie was out the back, testing all the weapons on the Fenton flyer (or specter speeder), she had to re-adjust a few but the old ones somehow worked the best and the new ones were still malfunctioning. She was doing this so if Phantom ever returned, she would be ready for him.

About half an hour later downstairs in the lab, Jack was startled awake by Danny being blasted out of the portal.

Danny was on the ground holding his head in pain and annoyance. "Yeah that's right Skulker, hunt me again why don't you?" he asked sarcastically.

"Danny! You're alright!" Jack announced.

Jazz jumped at the sound of Danny returning home, she immediately dropped her book then zipped downstairs to hug her little brother tightly.

"Danny! Oh thank god you're home!"

"Yeah, can you let go of me now? Because I kind of need air so I can survive?"

Jazz eyes wide opened with realisation. She quickly let go of Danny and grinned politely. At that same time, Jack was running upstairs to tell Maddie that Danny had returned home.

Jazz bent down a little to caress Danny's cheek. "Are you okay?"

"Jazz, you're not my mum."

"I'm just trying to help Danny. You've been through an awful lot lately."

"You're telling me."

About a minute or so later, they both heard their parents dashing down the stairs and Jack collapsing onto the floor on his way down. Maddie however, was armed and ready for action. She wanted to kill phantom once and for all.

She turned her head in almost every direction until one of her directions was Danny and Jazz.

"Oh, my baby boy! You're alive!"

Danny folded his arms in disappointment. "Uh yeah, can we forget that any of that Phantom stuff ever happened?" Danny asked sounding annoyed.

"What?" Jack asked standing up on his small two feet.

"Danny, what are you talking about? I though you loved him?" Jazz stated holding him by his shoulders.

Danny knocked Jazz's hands off and started to head upstairs but Maddie stopped him and demanded why and where was Phantom.

"Danny, where's phantom? And why are you acting like this? You're meant to be the hero."

Danny growled at his mum then shoved her out of the way so he could get upstairs. Maddie gasped at her son's behaviour, she stormed up to him and shoved him against the wall.

"Look Danny, where is Phantom? That is all I'm asking."

"I don't know, probably still coming or something!"

"What happened between you two?" Jazz asked politely.

Danny sighed and closed his eyes. "I don't want to talk about it."

Maddie let go of Danny and looked confused.

Danny then walked upstairs and into his room where he started to cry softly with his pillow getting drenched.

At Vlad's mansion…

Vlad had finally got what he had wanted, a son. But he still had one more plan up his sleeve; he wanted a half ghost son.

"What are you going to do to me?" Phantom asked sounding upset and angry while chained to the wall with bruises all over him.

"Nothing, you're bait."

"What!?"

"The plan's simple. Danny feels ashamed to have let you go so he searches everywhere for you, he realises that I have kidnapped you then he comes here to see you being injured badly by me and then he'll forgive you. He would want you to be set free and I give him the price."

Phantom gasped at realising what Vlad wants. "You want both of us!"

"Exactly boy, as soon as he arrives, he'll never see anyone again!" Vlad announce loudly and evilly.

Phantom looked down and closed his eyes as they started to fill with tears; he regretted every single wrong word he had ever said to Danny. This was his entire fault, this is what he had made and unfortunately, he couldn't resolve it.

Then Vlad walked off to go upstairs while Phantom sulked in his watery green tears and glowing green blood.

*sniffle* Danny, Phantom…HOW COULD YOU!? YOU TWO WERE PERFECTLY FINE AND THEN YOU BLEW IT! DX DX

Let's hope the next chapter will be much happier than this gloomy and…*sniffle* horrifying one..

P-please review..
