"Wow, when you said you had pancakes, you did not lie." I see so many flapjacks stacked up on the table, with every topping imaginable.

"Pancakes are no joking matter, Daniel." Vlad just smirks as I laugh. Today was Sunday and my parents are expecting me home by tomorrow morning, but this stupid storm just isn't lightening up. I know my parents will be super worried if I don't contact them soon, so hopefully the weather changes by the afternoon. Vlad and I sit at the table and begin to eat quietly, but after a few minutes and a couple pancakes later, I break the silence.

"Hey Vlad? Do you think the weather will get better? I have be home by tomorrow or else my parents will freak. Especially my dad." Vlad's eye twitches when I mention my dad.

"Hmm...I'm not sure. Perhaps."

"Ugh."

"Do you not enjoy being here, Daniel?"

"What? Sure I do! It's just I can't stay here forever, I have to go home soon because I'm supposed to be in school on Tuesday."

"..." Vlad stays quiet and begins to think to himself. I wonder what he's thinking because he seems really upset about something. Was it something I said? I should try and lighten the mood. I use a spoon and flick a blueberry at his face. He finally stops thinking and looks at me.

"What was that?"

"What's it look like? It's a blueberry."

"Did you really just throw it at me."

"No...I flicked it at you." Vlad smiles at my reply and begins eating again. Actually, more like pretends to eat so he can catch me off guard when he throws a chocolate chip at me. "Hey! Don't flick food back at me!"

"I didn't flick it at you, Daniel, I threw it." I just roll my eyes when suddenly something catches my eye. Whip cream. A mischievous smile forms on my face. It's on now, V-man. Quickly I grab the can.

"What are yo-" Before Vlad even go to finish his sentence I spray whip cream on his head. His eyes widen as he realizes he's been issued challenge. "Very well Daniel. I see how you want to play." Vlad then grabs a bottle of maple syrup and squirts it on my face. He starts laughing at me as I try to clean the sticky mess out of my hair.

"Bring it on, Fruitloop."

Sometime later

"Honestly Daniel, did you really have to stuff and crack an egg in my shirt?"

"Hey, you asked for it after you poured milk down my pants!" Vlad chuckles.

"Well, get yourself cleaned up, so we can decide what else to do to keep ourselves entertained. Hopefully it's something more cleaner this time."

"How about a movie?"

"Sounds lovely. Now go take a shower."

"Yeah, yeah, okay mom." Vlad's eye twitches again. After we both get cleaned up we go into his screening room and Vlad puts on a movie.

"Let's have a movie marathon?"

"Anything you'd like, Daniel."

Trying to find movies both Daniel and I can enjoy wasn't all that difficult. The boy and I are more similar than he knows. While we were on the 4th movie I noticed Daniel beginning to doze off, until he actually did. He slumped against my shoulder and I felt the need to hold onto him protectively. I know Daniel fights many, many ghost since he does play the hero of his stupid little town, no doubt Maddie's idea. Of course, he's never gotten seriously injured because believe it or not I was always there helping him silently. I always feel the need to just shield him and protect him, oh, how I love this child. Turns out my goons failed to destroy the fat oaf and Madeline yesterday, much to my dismay. Although, now that I think about it, why not just have Vortex handle them. Actually that sounds like a wonderful idea. I'll tell Vortex about it in a second, but first...

I carefully stand up and pick up my little badger bridal style and carry him to his room. I prefer to walk because I get to see his sleeping face a little longer. I have never loved anyone more than I love this boy. Not even the love I have...had for Madeline can compare to how much I love and care for Daniel. I set him on his bed, so he doesn't wake up and tuck him in. I close his door quietly and smile to nothing in particular. This is how it should be always, but before it can, I have to get rid of a certain annoying couple getting in my way. I transform into Plasmius and go underground into my lab, where I know Vortex is. I gave him specific instructions to have a huge strong storm stay here, so Daniel couldn't go home.

My ghost sense went off and I woke up. What's a ghost doing at Vlad's house in Colorado? Well, first I need to get out of Vlad's sight and...Wait, I'm in my room now. When did I fall asleep? Whatever, this works better anyways.

"I'm going ghost!" Now where are those ghost... I think I sense them downstairs. Once I go to the first floor, I still sense them below, does Vlad have a basement? I try to be as silent as possible and go down further and I see two ghost. Some weird tornado looking guy and... the Wisconsin Ghost! He's the one who attacked my family, that jerk! What's he planning? What's he doing here, is he attached to Vlad or something? If so, then I have to protect Vlad.

"Vortex, my boy, you have done well. Daniel, isn't going anywhere with this storm, so that means he isn't going to be near Amity Park while you carry out my next orders." Oh, this doesn't sound good.

"I am good, aren't I? Well, what are you next orders, Plasmius?"

"I need you to go to Amity Park and eliminate these two." The ghost name 'Plasmius' hands 'Vortex' a picture. "Jack and Madeline Fenton." He wants to have my parents killed! Well, not if I have anything to say about it. "You can use this portal that leads to theirs to get the job done. If you succeed, I'll give you back your freedom."

"Very well, consider it done." These ghost seem really powerful, so taking them on together doesn't seem like a smart choice. I'll just follow Vortex back home and kick his butt first, then come back for Plasmius. Before I go I should really leave Vlad a note.

Hey, I'm heading back home. Don't worry about me, I have a way to get there safely. I just realized I had some family issues that need to be solved.

Thanks for everything, Uncle Vlad.

-Danny

No, no, no, no. Daniel could not be home he just can't! He took the portal I let Vortex use didn't he? Was he listening to our conversation, how did I not sense him? Butter biscuits! Daniel cannot face Vortex alone, he can get seriously hurt. Oh, my stupid little badger!

Sorry I didn't post yesterday and I'm sorry if this chapter feels rushed or short, I'm just busy at the moment so please bare with me.
