Jack and Madeline Fenton seem like your average happily married couple, aside from them being ghost hunters of course. They had their arguments and debates, but what couple doesn't really? Their debating especially got worse around the holidays, much to their son's dismay. The couple had two wonderful children, Jasmine and Danny Fenton.

Jasmine was a pretty girl, a genius and very mature for her age, even though she likes to be referred to as an adult. Danny, on the other hand, got average grades that were barely passing and wasn't very popular at his school. He seemed like your typical outcast kid with only two close friends, but Danny wasn't normal, actually he was far from it. Danny was a half human and half ghost hybrid. No body knew Danny's secret except his older sister, Jaz, his two closest friends, Sam and Tucker, and his mother, Maddie. At least those were all the people Danny was sure knew his secret. Danny was the town hero, always protecting everyone from the ghost attacks that happen there.

Danny's parents were unique because not many children can say that their mom and dad are ghost hunters. Often his father, Jack, would make weapons or devices that could potentially hurt Danny, but none have actually done some serious damage. Other than the ghost business, the Fentons were a very happy, picture-perfect family, but it wasn't always like that.

15 years ago

"Jack dear, it's getting awfully late. Is there something that you might have forgotten today?" Maddie asked her husband, who was feeding Jaz a bottle of milk while also trying to upgrade one of his ghost weapons. She stares are her husband with an almost nervous looking smile.

"Ahh..." Jack had a confused look, as he tries to understand what Maddie is talking about. He and Maddie have been married for 5 years now, with a beautiful 1 year old daughter. It has been a rocky marriage for a while now, but the two love each other too deeply to let things seriously ruin their relationship. That was until now.

"...Something significant, having to do with today's date of May 9th." Maddie says while gesturing to a calendar that says 'HAPPY ANNIVERSARY' and has one of their wedding pictures tapped to it.

"9th. 9th. 9th... 9th!. 9th? Nope, still not catching a drift."

"Our anniversary, dear? Oh well, I guess it just slipped your mind." She says with a fake smile and then begins shaking in anger. "FOR THE 5TH YEAR IN A ROW!" Maddie then slams her fist on the table, startling Jasmine and making her begin to whine. "GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD JACK FENTON, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GHOST!" Maddie then storms off slamming the door, leaving a surprised Jack and her crying daughter.

Maddie got into her car, which didn't have any ghost gadgets on it. Where was she to go? She could always go to her sister, but she was going through a nasty divorce at the moment. She decided against it, where else did she have to go? She contemplated for a while before she finally realized where she could go. To her old college buddy, Vlad Masters.

Jack, Maddie, and Vlad had all been best friends during college, until one day Vlad had an accident that gave Vlad ecto-acne and he had to be hospitalized for the rest of his college days. Jack doesn't know, but Vlad also became half ghost because of the accident. Maddie didn't tell him because she didn't want Jack to annoy Vlad with questions. After the accident Vlad already hated him, she didn't want to make matters worse. The only reason Maddie knew was because when she visited Vlad at the hospital once, he had transformed into a ghost in front of her on accident. Back then Vlad couldn't control his powers, but he seems to be doing just fine now. Vlad has slowly been becoming a very wealthy and powerful man, I mean he is a millionaire right now. Maddie has somewhat kept in touch with Vlad and knew where he lived in Wisconsin.

After hours of driving, taking occasional breaks here and there, Maddie finally got to Vlad's house. It was almost like a castle, but not quite, but either way it was very impressive. Maddie rings the doorbell and when it opens she sees a very surprised Vlad.

"Maddie dear, what are you doing ? What's wrong? You don't look so well." Maddie, who had been ignoring how awful she felt finally broke down

"It's Jack. He forgot again Vlad! It's like he doesn't even care about me as much as he cares about his stupid ghost." She says as she began crying harder. Vlad brought her in for a hug.

"Madeline, he does not deserve someone as precious as you. You are perfect and any man would be lucky to have you. I know this may not be the time or place to tell you this, but..." With his fingers, he takes Maddie's chin and makes her look up at him. "I have been in love with you since the first day I met you." Maddie's eyes widen a bit as she stares at Vlad with doubt in her mind

Maddie was weak and vulnerable. She felt hurt by her husband to the point that she really couldn't think things through. Which had been a horrible mistake she would regret for the rest of her life. She tricked herself into believing that spending a night with Vlad would be okay, when in reality it wasn't. The morning after, she woke up in bed with Vlad and that's when it all came crashing down on her. She slept with Vlad, even though she was married and loved Jack. She was disgusted with herself, quickly collected her clothes and took his helicopter back home.

Vlad woke up an hour and a half later trying to feel for Maddie to bring her closer when he realized she was gone. He looked throughout his house and found out she had left in his copter. Heartbroken, Vlad began to feel used. Maddie had use him for comfort, she had lead him on, only to throw him back into the dreadful world of loneliness once again. Being deceived and being betrayed are not things Vlad took lightly. Madeline had just crossed an unforgivable line and someday she would regret it

When Maddie made it home, she found Jack going crazy trying to find her and get her to forgive him. She was bombarded with 'I'm sorry' gifts and Jack constantly apologizing to her. How could she not forgive him? After all, she loved him, she loved him so much that she decided never to tell him about her one night stand. It would become another skeleton in her closet. Yes, she will just forget and pretend it was all just one big nightmare.

Just forget

9 months later she gave birth to her wonderful baby boy, Daniel.

Just forget

One night at the hospital, while breast feeding Danny, Maddie noticed his eyes turning to a bright green. Then suddenly Danny's hair turned white too!

No it can't be. Just forget. Just forget. Just forget. Danny is Jack's son, not Vlad's

A couple nights later Danny turned invisible and there was no mistaking it. Danny was a half human half ghost hybrid. There was only one way that this would be possible, Vlad was Danny's biological father. Another skeleton, Maddie had to unpleasantly put in the closet. Not only did she have to lie to Jack, but now to Danny as well. And if Vlad ever came back into the equation she would have to deny and keep Danny away from him.

All she had to do was lie, deny, and forget. Also, she now has to cut all contact with Vlad and she'll be safe.

It worked for another 14 years until one day when Jack burst into the room looking excited

"Maddie, look at what Vladdy sent us! It's an invitation to the 20th year college reunion!" Jack's excited smile stretched throughout his face."It's going to be at his house in Wisconsin. We can bring Jazzy-pants and Danny too!" Maddie couldn't do anything, she was in too much shock to move.

"It's next weekend. I can't wait to see V-man again. Can you believe it's been 20 years since we've even spoken to the guy?" Jack kept on rambling, with Maddie not paying much attention. Her thoughts were elsewhere. Danny is going to meet Vlad? Jack is going to talk to Vlad? This certainly didn't sound good. Maddie found herself hoping that next week would never come, but it came sooner than she would have liked.

Maddie now found herself at the front door of a house the size of a castle, bigger than it was 15 years ago, with her two children and her husband. All waiting for the the man, who she really didn't want to see again, to open the door.

When he did, he greeted them.

"Jack, Maddie..." He paused for a moment and then looks at Danny and affectionately says, "And Daniel, what a lovely son you have Madeline. Come in, come in." 'Does he know? Does he know who Danny is?' Maddie began to ask herself.

After Vlad had convinced the Fentons to stay, he began showing them to their rooms. Jasmine first, then Danny, and finally Jack and Maddie. Jack runs into the room first, hoping to find the Dairy King in there. Before Maddie could walk in after her husband, Vlad grabs her wrist and stops her.

"Trust me Madeline, I know." Vlad says with venom in his voice and walks off leaving Maddie, who wore a horrified expression and was now too stunned to move
