This is my first DP fanfic. I had the idea from videos I was watching and in The Ultimate Enemy in which Vlad tells Past Danny how his future-self became evil. I'm going to mix it up a bit. In here I will not have Danny become evil. Read and find out how I mix it up. AU might be a tad bit OOC.

Danny's POV

It was just a few days after the explosion at Nasty Burger. Oh how I miss them. Vlad is the only person who I have left. He took me in when I needed him the most. After all the past stuff we have been through he is actually taking care of me and trying to make me feel better. It just doesn't help much. I know how hard he is trying though. He even shut down all the holograms of my mom just so I wouldn't be sad. I couldn't sleep a wink. Everytime I did I always had the nightmare of my family and friends caught in the explosion.

It was right after that big test we had to take. I was supposed to do a make-up test because I admitted I got the answers and opened them to Mr. Lancer. I don't even want to leave the house let alone turn ghost and help the town. I'd rather just sit in the room and be alone.

"Danny you need to come out of there sometime." Vlad said. "I don't want to." I said while choking back tears. "You can't just stay in there forever you need to eat something." He said while opening the door. "I'm not hungry." I said while turning my head. "I know how you feel Daniel. I felt the same way after the accident that turned me half ghost. Jack and Maddie were the only friends I had back then, but then the accident happened and I held a huge grudge against your father. I wish I hadn't and I tried to push that aside for you and your mother, but for some reason I couldn't." He explained. "Y-You did?" I asked while turning my head to face him. He came over to me and sat on the bed.

I started crying and he pulled me into a comforting hug. "Let it out Danny." He said while patting my back. "Why did this have to happen?" I choked out. "I don't know why this happened but life has a way of working out. I'll be here and make sure nothing happens." He said. "R-Really?" I asked. "Yes. I promise to protect you." He said. We were sitting there for a while till I stood up. "I'm hungry." I said. We walked until we were in the kitchen. "What do you want?" He said. "A sandwich without tomatoes." I said. He made me a sandwich and gave it to me. I was eating it and he put the TV on and there was a news segment on the explosion at Nasty Burger. I almost dropped my sandwich when they mentioned my family and friends. Vlad looked at me.

"Danny?" He asked trying to get my attention. I grabbed my plate and put my sandwich down. "I'm going to my room." I said. I walked back to my room, shut the door and locked it. I sat on my bed and ate the rest of my sandwich. I heard Vlad came up and knocked on my door. "Go away." I said. "I know it hurts right now, but give it time." He said while phasing through the door. "Come downstairs." He said basically begging. "I'm guessing you won't take no for an answer I'm guessing…" I said while standing up. "Let's go." He said. He unlocked the door and we went into the living room and watched some type of cartoon. It was slightly making me feel better.

Vlad's POV

This must be hard on Danny so I'm doing the best I can to make him feel better. I'm even watching this pathetic cartoon. Well Danny is smiling a little bit so I guess he's enjoying it. I have no clue how long we were just sitting there watching TV but it was around 4 in the afternoon. Then I heard a growl. "Oops… Sorry I guess I'm hungry." Danny said while laughing. I had a smile on my face. "Let's go into the kitchen and get some food." I said. We walked to the kitchen and I made some dinner. We were eating in silence. It was quiet…to quiet. We both got done eating.

"That was good. You need help with the dishes?" He asked. "N- Actually sure you can dry while I wash." I said. We were doing the dishes and he was humming to himself. He was actually enjoying a small task. Then we got to the last dish. "That was quick. We're done already." He said while laughing. Then we heard a breaking news report about a ghost harming the humans in Amity Park. Danny started to get mad. "How am I supposed to get there from here?" He asked frustrated. "Ghost portal?" I pitched. "That could work… I'll be back." He said while changing forms.

Danny's POV

I flew the fastest I could through the ghost portal to Amity Park to my portal. It took a little while but I got there. Flying through my house made me sad, but I had to defeat this ghost. I came to the town and I saw Valerie already taking care of it. I then realized that it was the Box Ghost and he got a new power up. "I am the box ghost!" He said. I flew over to him and blasted him. He flew up and tried to blast me, but I blocked it with a ghost shield. He knew he could get me so he tried to blast Valerie. She was too weak to move so I stood in front of the blast. I shook her and tried to wake her up. I did and I said, "Valerie you need to get out of here. Let me take care of him." She was about to say something till I got blasted again. I barely heard Valerie because that blast made me black out and switch me back to human.

Valerie's POV

Danny Phantom is Danny Fenton? Why didn't I realize sooner? He did try to protect me from the ghost. I tried shaking him but it didn't work. I saw another blast coming toward me and thought this was the end until I saw someone else who was a ghost. He grabbed the both of us and we went somewhere. "W-Who are you?" I asked. "I am Vlad Plasmius my dear. Take care of Danny for a little bit while I take care of the ghost." He said then flew off. I kept shaking Danny till he woke up. "W-what happened?" He said. "You saved me from the blast and passed out. I know your secret. I promise not to tell anyone. Also I saw another person his name is Vlad." I explained. "Oh so you do know. Well act least you didn't get hurt." He said. "Are you ok?" I asked when I remember what happened. "Yea." He said. "No not from this Danny. I mean are you ok." I said while giving him a look. "Oh. No but I'm hanging in there. I'm living with Vlad now. Thanks for asking Valerie." He said while giving me a smile. "Who is he anyway?" I asked. "A friend of my dad's they went to collage together along with my mother." He said. "Is he full ghost or like you?" I asked. "He half ghost to. Both of us accidently turned half ghost because of my father." He explained. "That's the reason why you were always absent at school and stuff. I think I understand now." I said.

"Did anyone ask about me?" He asked. "A few teachers but they understand. Are you going to come back?" I asked. "No. I probably won't come back. This place reminds me so much of them, and even right now it hurts to be here. My uncle, Vlad, took me in since he was the only one who could understand me." He explained with a sad look. "If you need anything just call me." I said while giving him my number. "Just call me when you need me and I'll stop by. Where are you?" I asked. "In Wisconsin." He said. "How'd you get here from there so fast?" I asked. "My uncle has a ghost portal and so does my dad." He explained. "Ok. I think we'll be safe here." I said. We were there for a little while and Danny fell asleep. Then Vlad came back. "He fell asleep." I whispered. "I took care of the ghost you can go now and thanks for keeping him company." He said. "No thank you. If you didn't take him in I don't know what would've happened." I said while walking off. In the corner of my eye I saw Vlad pick up Danny.

Well that's it for this chapter. Yea I had this idea for a little while. More reviews I get the faster I'll update this. :D I don't know how far the ghost portals are from each other, but… whatever.
