Hey, sorry about not updating this story any sooner or whatever, oh and making the chapters shorter ehe ^^; Sorry, it's just that I think I'm starting to run out of ideas. Maybe it's because of school because that's when I started to lose ideas. I got heaps before school started up again -_- Oh crap; I've got a science test tomorrow! And I'm on here when I should be-ugh see? I don't have the time to do these stories because I have to think of tests and assignments! DX And just today I had a Math test! And plus, I've got an assignment due on Thursday and most likely next English lesson we'll be getting ANOTHER assignment! Oh, I also just realized that I've got some Japanese to study for too! NUUU! DX

So that's why I haven't been updating this one and A Matter of Time, I would plan these two out but-oh jeez, My friend's birthdays on Saturday and I've only just started making her card! (Yes, I'm cheap :P) I plan to draw an anime Goth girl on maybe A3 paper for her in a long purple dress, I plan to add more of her favourite things with it but that's all I've got for now ^^

Anyway, back on topic. Sorry about that, I just needed to get that out of my system before Mum hears me at night screaming about it all XD No, seriously I am not kidding… O_O Okay, I've just been reading some other comics and those gave me good ideas for this story so that means… AWESOME! :D ^^ Also, I plan to write up another lemon story (PM me if you don't know what lemon means (XD)), but I'm not 100% sure what fandom of mine I'm going to use…it's either My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or Danny Phantom. o.O

Better get started on the story huh? Well I don't wanna waste the chapter on just my complaining! (Yes, I tend to do that…A LOT…O_O) Oh, and do you like the cover? Ever since I got my new drawing tablet, I've somehow been able to think up of more ideas quicker! :D

Danny Phantom © Butch Hartman

Danny couldn't think, he just couldn't. He was going to lose almost everyone he cared about, just like in his future with his evil future self. He plumped his head onto the hard but smooth round table with his father sitting right beside him with anguish, his eyes full of salty wet tears of guilt and hopelessness. He was about to hug his son in grief but he just couldn't, he knew that would only make the matter worse. But Danny was already heading towards his room, he needed some space. He didn't have the energy to think of a plan.

He walked over to his bed as if he was a robot answering a request, his walking was smooth and his eyes peered only through the window. But that only lead to a sigh of loss and regret, he just wanted to let all the pain go. Vanish into thin air just like his evil ghost self, or so he thought.

He slouched quickly onto his soft white and blue bed with a small black but shiny frame holding it together; he touched some of the bars with the tips of his fingers and almost his clean fingernails. Then something caught the glimpse of the corner of his eye that was furthest to the left of him, it was some strands of dim white hair that glowed only faintly. He knew immediately that it was Phantom's, the tears just poured out of his cheeks like a gushing waterfall. He dropped his head in between his tight arms which were folded on the bed not so far from him with his hands clenched tightly together.

"I don't know what to do! I'm about to lose everyone and I can't think with all this mess!"

He kicked his shoes off then moved further into the bed to rest his head in the middle of his white pillow. His tears flooded the pillow and the pillow was quickly drenched within minutes. It wasn't long later that he heard the powerful knock coming from his bedroom door covered in posters of outer space and space shuttles.

"Come in Dad." He muffled with his face buried deep within the pillow.

He was surprised when the door had actually opened after Danny had told him to come in even though his face was buried within his drenched pillow. Danny didn't hesitate to move even though he was having slight difficulty breathing through something as thick and wet as his pillow.

"Danny, we need to solve this problem out." His father stated while gently sitting on the foot of the bed near the edge.

"I don't want to." Danny mumbled beneath the pillow.

"Well I can't just sit here and do nothing! We have to save our family and friends!" Jack cried with anger and impatience while almost rattling the bed causing it to squeak a little.

"Go ahead, save them all yourself." Danny replied with a sarcastic tone while waving his hand in dismissal at his father. "But, I doubt you'll have any chance with your old college pal." Danny smirked after he removed his head from beneath the pillow with his eyes half closed.

Jack looked down at him with seriousness; this was no time for joking around. But he knew that Danny was right, he just didn't want his only son to sit there with his head sunk within the tears of regret and guilt but who was he to blame? This was Danny's fault after all, well that's what he thought anyway but Danny didn't bring Vlad back, no one did except Vlad himself.

"Danny, I've had just about enough of your complaining! Either you get your act together or thank me after I save our family and friends!"

"And Phantom?" Danny asked still smirking with an eyebrow rose. His hands were holding his balance on the bed as he sat up with his arms keeping his upper body up steadily.

Jack didn't reply, he knew that Danny wasn't going to help. So Jack just simply left without looking back.

Suddenly, he stopped at the door with his back still turned but he moved his head slightly towards Danny without turning his whole body. His large fists were clenched tightly with fear and anger. "If you want dinner, you'll have to make it yourself, and get yourself to bed on time. You have school tomorrow."

Danny could clearly see that his father knew not to get his son involved in this mess any further; Danny smiled as Jack turned his head and walked away at a slow but loud pace.

Danny let his body fall back onto the bed, he could feel his raven black hair touching the bars of the black bed frame behind him, it bothered him a little but not as much as Phantom and Sam.

All he wanted was to let the pain fade away quickly, and he definitely knew that he was making the wrong decision. It bothered him…very much. He sat up again with his head in his hands; there were thousands of tears running down his arms and onto the sheets of the bed. His expression was intense and upsetting, he wanted to forget it all but that was the only thing that was filling up his mind with memories of both Phantom and Sam.

His whining and sulking was heard from the kitchen where Jack was just finalising his things into a small but expandable bag with plenty of ghost equipment. Jack erased the thoughts of asking Danny to come along and zipped up the bag as he started to walk towards the front door. Danny heard him but didn't want to even try. He had no plan and no faith in anyone, not even in himself. What was he going to do?

He sniffled multiple times as he tried to dry up the tears with another part of the sheet but that only just made it worse.

It was quiet…no one but him was present in the house, he felt chills. He huddled himself closely as more tears began to fall fast down his cheeks, he felt hopeless. If he couldn't get rid of the pain, then he would have to result to desperate measures. Perhaps jumping off a building could ease the pain.

But he couldn't, he cared too much about Sam, Phantom and his family. What was he destined to do in the situation? He had absolute no clue whatsoever to solve this major chaos.

Aww so sad… DX It's much sadder when you're listening to Evanescence…:C I'd better go before I actually start to cry and besides, I've got other things to get done. Please be thankful I got this done, it was really hard of me to give up 3 hours of my valuable time you know ^^

Next update: Within a week or two
