A Fang-tastic First Meeting

The Fenton household was unusually quiet as Danny sat on the living room couch. He was in a rare state.

Danny Fenton was alone.

Tucker was at a sci-fi convention, and Sam was basically being kidnapped by her parents to visit her cousins in Milwaukee. Danny would have happily volunteered to accompany either one of them if it wasn't for one problem.

His parents.

Jazz had a big college scholarship interview and she needed both of their parents to be there. Danny almost went with them but ghost hunting had been hurting his grades lately. Not a lot of time for homework when you're fighting the likes of Skulker all night.

So he had a mountain of extra credit assignments to cut through if he wanted to avoid summer school. Normally his parents would never even entertain the idea of leaving him home alone but there was just so much extra credit that Jazz assured them that he would be too busy to get into trouble.

Currently, he was taking a break. A fresh mind can do wonders for the task at hand.

The problem was that he was bored. Oh sure! He had his games and his movies to entertain himself but without friends to do them with it was a little hollow.

He thought about maybe surrendering to one of the mind numbing movies on television when a voice suddenly thundered throughout the room.

"DANIEL FENTON!!!"

Danny jumped off the couch out of reflex. He looked around but he couldn't tell where the voice was coming from.

"I mean you no harm, my boy. I'm a friend."

"Then prove it!" challenged Danny. "Show yourself!"

"If you insist."

Green smoke filled the room and spiraled into a single point. When it disappeared, there stood a man with a crystal ball. He wasn't a ghost but he did strongly resemble...

"Doctor Strange?"

"Oh my, no! Although I'm flattered you would compare me to someone so famous. I do think bare a striking resemblance to the actor but the very idea of someone like me in the movies is..." An almost devilish smile crossed his face. "Chilling."

Danny said everything he needed to through a raised eyebrow.

"Oh but look at me ramble on and on; you still have no idea what I'm here for. I'm well aware of who you are, what you are, and most importantly where your morals lay."

Danny shifted his eyes around nervously.

"Um ... I don't..."

"Oh Danny come off it, I know about the Ghost Portal accident and more importantly I know that you've been using your powers to protect people. There's very little you could hide from me and my crystal ball."

Danny's face went from nervous to serious immediately.

"Alright, fine. You know me. Let's say for the sake of argument that I believe that. Who are you, why are you in my house, and what do you want with me?"

"My name is Vincent Van Ghoul! And..." The man's face suddenly turned solemn. "I need your help."

Danny wasn't sure what to expect from this uninvited guest but a plea for assistance wasn't it.

"Or rather a friend of a friend needs your protection. Tell me Danny, I know you have evidence of the existence of ghosts but what do think about the idea of OTHER supernatural beings existing?"

"Like Big Foot?"

Vincent threw his head back with a hearty "HA!!!"

This little joke brightened his mood considerably. Vincent started to dance his fingers about his crystal ball, an image started to swirl inside.

"No my dear boy, I mean like ghouls, goblins, vampires, and werewolves."

Danny crossed his arms. "Let's just say skepticism is a luxury that's been denied me since birth."

"Oh Ho! You are quite witty when you want to be! Pleasantries aside, let's get down to business. The Mummy, the Wolfman, Dracula... these are but a few of the most powerful monsters in the world that are also well known to the public."

"The Universal Pictures monsters?"

"I suppose that's one way of looking at them. Just bare with me for a second, these monsters are also fathers!"

"Oh!"

"And you don't become one of the most powerful monsters in the world without making some dangerous enemies. One of which just so happens to be a ghost."

"Okay, now I think I see where this is going."

"You THINK you see, but you're wrong Young Fenton. Because this ghost is not of the Ghost Zone but a chest. A chest of Demons to be precise, once they held 13 of the most evil ghosts the world had ever seen but then some fools let them out accidentally. I thought we had rounded them all up but..."

"But what?"

"It's so embarrassing! I am indeed a powerful sorcerer but at the end of the day even I am still human..... sigh. I miscounted. We didn't round up thirteen at all. It was only eleven."

"And one of these ghosts from the chest had a score to settle with these monsters?"

"You're quick on the uptake. That's good! Yes, once upon a time one of these ghosts helped Dracula aquire his castle but the ghost got too greedy and Dracula, with the ironic help of some mortals, sealed him away into the Chest of Demons."

"But when he got out..."

"He wanted revenge, yes. However, he had learned not to directly confront Dracula, so he figured if he couldn't go through Dracula then he would go around him."

"Attacking those he held close."

"Like his daughter. Yes, you understand. Dracula's daughter, Sibella, isn't actually hurt though. She's been transformed... into a human."

Danny rubbed the back of his neck. "Okay, I did not see that one coming. So, exactly what do you need from me?"

"Well, the mortals that once opened the chest have reunited to hunt the ghost down. Dracula and his friends are even giving them as much monster aid as possible. It's only a matter of time before we find him but until then Sibella is vulnerable. Not only can she be killed now by mortal means, but she also has to adjust to life as a human for the time being. She needs someone not just to protect her but show her how the human world works. Someone, who walks in both the world of the humans and the supernatural."

Danny sighed and lowered his eyelids halfway. "I am so going to summer school."

Vincent smiled. "You'll help us then?"

"Well... That depends! How long would I have to look after her?"

"Oh not long at all. We're already halfway done tracking the culprit down. An evening at the most. I understand you live a busy life!"

"Busy nothing! You try explaining a strange unknown girl in the house to your parents when you're only fourteen!"

"Excellent point, my dear boy. All the more reason to get this started so I can return and help the others."

With a wave of his cape more green smoke appeared and a teenaged girl walked out of it.

She was about Danny's age, around his height. Her frame was long and slender, her hair was black and reached down to the lower part of her back.

"My name is Sibella. You must be Danny, I've heard so much about you. It's Fang-tastic to meet you!"

She held out her hand and Danny gave her a humored half grin.

"Fang-tastic huh?" Danny shook her hand. "If you're really into puns then maybe this won't be so bad after all."

"See? You two are hitting it off already! I'll be back after we've caught the scumbag!"

More of his green smoke appeared and swirled around him.

"Oh, but Danny? One last word of advice; she IS still Dracula's daughter so do try to be nice to her."

"If I can handle Sam on a bad day, then I think I can handle the daughter of Dracula."

"Quite right. Quite right! Have fun you two!" The smoke had almost disappeared but with the last little bit left, Vincent poked his head through for one last warning. "But not too much fun! Understand? Good!"

With Vincent gone, Danny was left alone. In his house. With no one but a single girl for company.

"So..." Danny desperately tried to kill the silence between them. "Dracula's daughter. What's that like?"

"Well I'd say it's no big deal but I did grow up in a literal castle."

"Like with a moat?"

"Yeah.......... You know I've met other ghosts but I understand that you're wired different?"

"Yeah, first off I am neither dead nor am I half dead. I am an ecto-infused human. The Ghost Zone Portal turned on with me inside and BAM...... ghost powers."

"Makes sense to me. Ectoplasm IS how ghosts who actually are the spirits of the departed remain in this world. Their souls have to latch onto something to stick around."

"Huh. That actually does make sense."

"Yes. I have this friend called Phantasma, she's practically made of the stuff... She never died either, otherwise there'd be no point sending her to a finishing school."

"There's a finishing school for monsters?"

"Ghouls if you want to get technical. Miss Grimwood's Finishing School For Ghouls, it's just the Bats!"

"Ha ha! A vampire pun! Fun!"

The two shared a smile. Not a romantic smile nor a flirtatious smile, just a genuine smile.

"Well my mom and dad did leave me a little pizza money. Are you hungry?"

"Famished."

"Or fang-ished?"

Danny was expecting a groan or maybe some disappointed criticism but to his surprise she actually grinned at the joke.

Without another word, the two entered the kitchen.

Sibella found her seat at the table while Danny got to the phone. Before he could start dialing the phone though, there was a very important question that needed to be asked.

"What kind of toppings do you want?"

"Oh nothing too special. Spider webs and rat tails should be good enough for me."

"... You're joking, right?"

"What? No! Isn't that what you humans eat? Just like us, right?"

Danny hung up the phone.

"No!! What you're suggesting is completely inedible for humans! Not to mention, probably tastes terrible!"

Sibella sat completely shocked.

"What about slimy salamanders? Toadstools? Fungus fudge?"

"What's fungu- nevermind. But, no. Humans don't eat any of those things because we CAN'T eat any of those things.... Not without getting sick anyways."

"What about crab apples? For pity's sake, tell me humans at least like crab apples!!"

Danny sympathetically shook his head 'No'.

"For us, that is literally poisonous."

Sibella held her head in embarrassed realization.

"No wonder our gym teachers didn't stick around."

Danny raised an eyebrow at her musings but didn't question it.

"This is why Daddy didn't want me sticking around the castle like this either. I'd be dead by dinner."

She looked up at Danny with a face pleading of mercy.

"Danny, do you think you could walk me through on how to eat like a human?"

Her big sad eyes nearly broke his heart but Danny knew they weren't necessary.

"Of course. We'll start you out small. We'll order you a simple pepperoni, but until it arrives how about I teach you about normal fudge? Because if there's one type of food the Fentons know, it's fudge."

______________________________________________________________

Later....

"Okay," began Sibella. "dealing with a whole new level of taste buds here. That food was actually Fang-tastic!"

Danny smiled at the reused pun. "Glad you liked it."

"What else is different for humans?"

"I'm guessing entertainment. I have a few games upstairs on my computer I could show you."

"Games? Are they like volleyball?"

"Uh no. Not really. Just follow me and I'll show you."

"You Bat I will!"

"Heh. Heh."

Danny started to lead her to the stairs when she spotted a mirror on the wall. Sibella jumped at the sight of her own reflection.

"Danny! Who is that girl?!"

"Huh? Oh! Right, vampire. That's just your reflection."

Sibella stared at it with interest.

"MY reflection? Me?"

"I know you were a vampire up until now but you had to know what you looked like, right?"

"Well, of course! Not through a mirror though, pictures never really worked either....... I was able to be successfully painted though."

"I guess that makes sense. Gotta know what you look like somehow."

"I've never seen myself in a mirror before though."

She gave herself a thorough inspection.

"I look different. A lot different!"

"Really? What did you look like before?"

"Purple. Purple skin. Purple hair. And of course fangs."

"Of course. Well, I don't think I can just leave you alone so are you going to follow me or should I get comfortable?"

"Oh no, I'll go with you. Just let me do one last thing."

Sibella fluffed up her hair and let it fall.

"I might not be Fang-tastic but I'm not Bat! Alright, let's go."

"Heh heh heh."

'Wow! Even though she's a vampire, she also has some normal girl habits. Who'd a thunk?'

______________________________________________________________

Danny's room...

Danny sat at his computer with Sibella overlooking his shoulder.

"Alright, I don't know what you monsters know about the digital age...." Sibella waved her hand from side to side in a so-so way. "but this is called a computer. Mine has some fun games on it and..."

Danny was cut off as a blue mist came out of his mouth.

"Danny?"

Danny stood up and took a battle stance.

"There's a ghost nearby. Get behind me!" Sibella did exactly that and Danny shouted his signature catch phrase. "I'm Going Ghost!"

White rings appeared around his torso and separated transforming him into Danny Phantom.

Sibella found herself oddly disappointed with Danny's ghost form. She thought he would look more like Phanty but instead he was like the negative photograph of his usual self. In her opinion, his human half looked better.

Danny waited silently and patiently for the ghost to show itself. And then..... It did.

"BEWARE!!!"

Danny visibly relaxed. "Oh, it's just you! I was almost scared there for a moment."

The Box Ghost was a nuisance at worst but it was usually a good idea to catch him anyways in case he accidentally ended up doing something dangerous. A fine example of this was when he stole Pandora's Box.

Sibella didn't know this person, but somehow she already felt annoyed with him. He didn't really resemble Phanty either.

"Who IS that?"

"Oh. Me?" The ghost looked almost flattered that she asked. "Nice to meet you. I AM THE BOX GHOST!!! Master of all things squared and cornered!!"

"He's just the Box Ghost. He's more of a chore than a threat."

"Let's see if you find THIS to be none threatening!!!"

The Box Ghost's hand glowed blue and made a motion with it. Danny's monitor glowed the same blue before flying off and hitting Danny in the back of the head.

"OW!!! Hey!!"

"DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU MESS WITH THE TERRIFYING BOX GHOST?! SHUDDER IN FEAR AS I..."

*ZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAP!*

A ghost ray shot out of Danny's hand sending the Box Ghost flying through the wall.

"This shouldn't take long. Sibella, think you could toss me that thermos on the table?"

She opened her mouth to ask a question but he cut her to the quick.

"No. It has nothing to do with soup."

Sibella didn't need to be told anymore than that and tossed it to him.

Danny saluted her a 'thank you' and phased through the room.

Sibella stood in Danny's room alone for a moment, unsure of what to do with the silence.

Then the Box Ghost came crashing in again, landing in a heap at her feet.

Danny phased in through the wall seconds later and pointed the thermos at the Box Ghost. A beam of light shot out of the thermos and enveloped the Box Ghost before sucking it in.

"How did you do that?" asked Sibella.

"Remember how I mentioned that my parents built a portal to the Ghost Zone? That's because they're scientists that study ghosts but they are also ghost hunters. This is one of their inventions to catch ghosts."

Sibella lightly grabbed the thermos and looked Danny in the face with sympathy.

"Do they.... Know?"

Danny looked away from her dejectedly. "No. And I would rather they don't know. Especially since they think my ghost half is responsible for some trouble that other ghosts have caused in town."

"Danny..."

"... I don't want to talk about it."

A silence was starting to develop between them but the sight of his computer smashed on the ground gave him an idea on what to do next.

"Since video games are now out of the picture, how about I instead show you what we do with caught ghosts?"

It was obvious that Sibella wanted to talk more about the problem with his parents but she wanted him to feel comfortable enough to talk about it first. So her answer was an understanding nod and a simple "Okay."

______________________________________________________________

The basement....

Sibella wasn't sure what to expect in the lab basement of confirmed ghost hunters but a giant swirling portal of ectoplasm wasn't it.

"Ah! Sibella, over here." called Danny.

Sibella joined Danny over by the portal watched him hook the thermos up to a device attached to the portal.

"Okay, now keep your eyes on the portal!"

A quick press of a button and the Box Ghost's image was seen in the swirl of the portal before disappearing down into it.

"And that's what we do with captured ghosts."

"You send them into this thing?"

"We figure that the Ghost Zone is where all these ghosts come from so we may as well send them back to it."

"What if they get out?"

"Oh they do. The Box Ghost is a common nuisance but I'm always here to put them right back."

"And when they do get out you capture them in this? The thermos?"

"Well... Usually. It's not like I just show up and shove them in the thermos, ya know? Some will only go down swinging."

"Mr. Van Ghoul said you hunted ghosts with your friends are they... Like you?"

"No. They're both human."

"Well forgive me for asking but if they're completely human then how can they help?"

"Well this thermos wasn't invented by me. It was invented by my entirely human parents. And it's not the only ghost hunting weapon they've come up with that packs a kick."

Sibella smiled. "Can you show me? Since the villain that did this to me IS a ghost, it would probably be a good idea to familiarize myself with some ghost hunting gear."

"... That does sound like a good idea. Okay..."

Danny brought over a cart filled with Fenton weaponry.

"My mom was giving these things a tune up but most of them should be good to go."

He held up some metal gloves. "These are the Ghost Gloves! Ectoplasmic powered gloves that can allow normal people to grab ghosts! No ghost can break their grip."

Sibella inspected the gloves but wasn't that impressed.

"Doesn't really feel like 'me'. Probably be great for a hands on girl, like my friend Elsa!"

"Ha ha. Elsa? Seriously? Is she..."

"No! Trust me! She is nothing like the Elsa from the musical!"

"Fair enough. Moving on... Okay this is the Fenton Weasel."

Danny held up the end of what looked like a vacuum cleaner.

"Like the Fenton Thermos, this is designed to capture and hold ghosts but only like...one per use. Unlike the thermos it doesn't really shrink anything so it can get pretty cramped in there. Trust me, I know."

"Probably not going to be very useful considering who we're up against."

"Right! Moving down the line we have the Fenton Fisher!" Danny held up what looked like a sci-fi retractable fishing rod. "The line is coated in a specially-tested ectoplasmic resin that ghosts can't break or escape from, though on several occasions, powerful ghosts have broken it."

Sibella didn't want to dismiss it but if more powerful ghosts had broken it in the past then it probably wouldn't hold up to a ghost from the Chest of Demons.

"Let's put that in the maybe pile."

"Probably for the best. It tangles like a nightmare."

Danny then held up two small devices that easily fit in his hand.

"The Fenton Wrist Rays. Wrist mounted weapons that shoot out ectoplasmic energy rays. They also happen to be a favorite of my friend Sam."

"You're friend has good taste! I love them already!!"

Danny tossed them to her.

"Great! Put them on, aim, and press the button."

Danny set up a couple of targets from his personal obstacle course.

"Now we're not trying to test your reflexes here so just shoot the targets when you're good and ready."

One by one little green ghost wooden cutouts would pop up and Sibella would shoot them one at a time. Then the one of Jazz popped up and Sibella waited for a moment and then zapped her too.

"Your aim's not bad."

"Or not 'bat'?"

"Heh. Heh. Heh. That's funny. See ya shot the cut out of my sister, don't blame you there."

"She was making a face at me."

Danny smiled. "I'm starting to like you more and more."

Sibella lightly blushed at the compliment.

"Okay, let's move on to some of the more heavy duty weapons."

From under the cart Danny brought out what could only be called a Sci-fi bazooka.

"This is the Fenton Bazooka. Unfortunately, like the other ones, this is being repaired. It usually packs a pretty big wallop and can even make lesser ghosts disappear. It used to have a portable Ghost Zone Portal option too but like I said..."

"Being repaired. Fair enough. What else is there?"

The next weapon that Danny got out looked like the love child between the last weapon and a vacuum cleaner.

"This is the Fenton Crammer. Designed to shrink ghosts in size and threat level."

"Does it work?"

"Almost a little too well. I got shrunk by it once and gradually started to lose my powers. That being said there is also a grow feature labeled as Uncram."

"... Let's keep that one but not as our first default."

Danny thought about it for a moment and agreed with Sibella's decision.

"Granted. Moving on..."

Danny then brought out a strange hand held device.

"This is the Fenton Peeler. It deploys a full set of armor to protect you and its laser can be used to injure ghosts and strip away ghostly disguises. Cutting away at all the layers to the ghost inside."

Sibella clapped her hands together.

"Danny, that sounds perfect!"

"Well, let's see how you do with it then."

Sibella took the gadget from Danny and aimed it like a gun.

Danny almost laughed at the sight. "No. No. First you need to deploy the armor before you can shoot anything. Here, let me help you."

Danny got in close and helped guide her thumb to the right button.

Danny then noticed that they were almost cheek to cheek and stepped away with a blush. He wasn't sure but he was almost certain she smiled at the close vicinity they had.

"Ahem! Now just hold the Peeler out as far as your arm will go and press the button."

After one little *CLICK!* metal coils stretch out from the device, wrapping around her arm, continuing onto her body until she was covered from helmet to toe in armor.

Because the armor was one size fits all, like Danny said, he couldn't help but notice that her frame was a little more curvy than it would be for Sam or Jazz. Oh that wasn't to say her form wasn't still slender but there were bound to be things Danny would notice as a fourteen year old heterosexual boy. Things he would often get chastised for by Sam.

Sam.

This entire time Danny hadn't even thought of Sam. He wondered what she would say about Sibella?

Danny wanted to believe that Sam would be happy to have another spooky friend but even he was starting to feel some electricity between him and Sibella.

And so what if he did?!

Sam was a friend. They weren't married. And if Sam was really the modern woman she claimed to be then didn't that mean she had every bit as much right as him to make the first move?

There was a few things to unpack there but no matter what way he sliced it, he and Sam were just friends. Could they be more than that? Maybe one day... but at the moment it was just friendship.

And friendship certainly wasn't what Danny was picking up that he was feeling with Sibella.

They were both free agents so Danny decided to just let the situation happen. Whatever happened, happens.

Sibella seemed very happy from behind the helmet's visor. She was looking over her body and then turned to Danny with a question.

"Does this armor make my butt look fat?"

Danny laughed again.

"Not at..." Danny was cut off as a blue mist came out of his mouth.

Before Danny could utter any kind of warning, a square stone block shot out of the portal and hit Sibella in the gut

"SIBELLA!!!"

A huge stone hand shot out of the portal and onto the ground. It got a good grip on the floor and more of the ghost pulled itself out of the portal.

What followed was not entirely what Danny had expected. In that it was not an 'entire' body. It was made entirely out of rock but it was missing the lower half for the body.

Just two arms, a chest, and a head. All made of square stone blocks. They were green and covered in algae, moss, and fungus. They looked downright unpleasant to touch, one might even call them grimy.

Danny had already placed himself between the ghost and Sibella.

"Sibella, are you okay?!"

"Yes! The armor took the blunt of the blow!"

Danny turned to the new ghost with glowing hands.

"Who are you?!" demanded Danny.

Sibella got to her feet and stood behind Danny. Given how her armor was sparking from where she got hit, this was probably a good idea.

"I'm GRIME STONE!!!"

The ghost pounded his fist on the ground making Danny and Sibella jump in the air a little.

Now that she was on her feet, Sibella recognized the ghost almost immediately.

"Danny, that's him! That's the ghost that did this to me!"

Danny stared at the ghost in disbelief. "You're the ghost from the Chest of Demons?"

"YES!!! And after all these years I will soon have my revenge!!"

Danny's hands glowed a little brighter. "What did Dracula even do to you?! What warrants THIS much revenge?!"

"I built Dracula his castle and in exchange we were supposed to rule together!! But when I said that I wanted to kill the villagers, he went and betrayed me!! I knew I couldn't beat him directly, but with some runes I learned of I knew I could make him SUFFER!! I turned his daughter human but before I could finish the job, that JERK with the crystal ball showed up and spirited her away!!"

Danny and Sibella were slowly and subtly making their way back to the stairs but never broke eye contact with Grime Stone.

"And then you hid in the Ghost Zone?" asked Danny.

"It was the one place nobody expected me to hide! Who would think to look for a Non-Ghost Zone ghost in the Ghost Zone?!"

One of his square stone blocks rolled itself off of his body and showed a rune to Danny. It fired off a small red fireball that almost took off Danny's head.

"In case you haven't figured it out, runes are kind of my thing!" The stone rolled itself back onto Grime Stone's body and the ghost reeled back his fist for a punch. "SECOND ONLY TO MURDER!!!"

Danny picked Sibella and dodged the fist by making them intangible.

*SMASH!*

Danny flew Sibella up, phasing them both through the roof. Danny took them out to the streets where he set her down.

"So THAT'S the guy?!" asked Danny.

"There's no mistaking it! He surrounded me with a whole circle of stones with those runes and then zap!"

*CRASH!*

Grime Stone broke through the walls of Fenton Works creating a giant gapping hole.

"Hey!! Come on now!!" snapped Danny. 'Do Non-Ghost Zone ghosts not have the ability to go intangible? This could get messy. Fast!' thought Danny.

Sibella stepped forward and took a shot at Grime Stone with the Fenton Peeler.

*BZZZZZZZZT!*

A long laser beam shot out of the muzzle of the gadget and hit Grime Stone. It must have been doing at least some damage because he was holding up his hands in an attempt to protect himself from it.

"How did you know how to fire it?" asked Danny.

"Well I don't have Bats in my Belfry, Danny. I figured it had to be the only other button on the thing."

"Okay, I guess that one's a given."

A few more sparks flew out of Sibella's armor and the beam stopped.

"Sibella, do you have a way to contact Vincent Van Ghoul?"

"Yes! He gave me a crystal ball just in case something like this happened! I don't think Grime Stone is going to give us a chance to use it though!"

"You run inside and use it! I'll keep Boulder Breath busy."

"But Danny..."

"I can handle it! Now run!!"

The Fenton Peeler armor retracted back into the device giving one final big spark.

Grime Stone was busy trying to get the stone cubes of his body to stop smoking so he didn't even notice Sibella running past him into Fenton Works.

*ZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!*

A ghost ray to Grime Stone's face earned Danny his full attention.

A menacing glare from the ghost from the Chest of Demons was sent right to the ghostly protector floating above him.

"Hey Blockhead!! Come at me if you think you got the stones!!"

Grime Stone threw a square stone block from his body at Danny but he blasted it to pieces. Another stone block took the place of the one thrown.

'I don't think he can make more... I play this right then maybe I can wear him down.' thought Danny.

"What even ARE you?!"

demanded the limestone built ghost.

"The name's Phantom. Danny Phantom! I protect this town from evil ghosts like you!"

"...ALL I WANT IS THE GIRL!!!'

"Tell that to the hole you made in my house!!"

Grime Stone looked back and saw the giant hole he had created from the basement up. He turned back to Danny and waved his stone hand nonchalantly. "Semantics."

"Listen, grudge or not! I am NOT going to let you hurt that girl! So just give up now or I'll turn you to rubble!!"

Grime Stone let four of his stone blocks fall to the ground, rolling until they stopped with red runes facing Danny.

"You and WHAT ARMY?!"

The runes glowed brightly and then fired at Danny. Each one was firing something different however; one was a straight laser beam, another was jagged like a lightning bolt, the third let loose a barrage of energy arrows, and the final one lashes out like a flailing whip.

They were all red and Danny nearly dodged them all but the whip one managed to wrap itself around his ankle.

Danny shuddered in revulsion at the feel. It was like being grabbed by an eel coated in slug slime.

However, this grotesque feel couldn't help but make Danny wonder if a certain counter tactic would be optional with it.

He shot a ghost ray where it connected with his ankle, cutting it off. Grabbing the end of it, he charged up some of his own ghost energy and threw a shockwave down it.

"Go Ghost Stinger!!"

The green energy traveled all the way down the whip until it hit the rune, shocking it. The stone cube rocked and crackled with green energy and to Danny's surprise, so did Grime Stone.

Eventually the attack ran its course and Grime Stone's entire body was left smoking. This gave Danny a theory.

He experimentally shot a ghost ray at one of the other rune stones. When it hit its mark the stone flew back slightly damaged.

"YOOOW!!!"

Grime Stone held himself as if he had just gotten shot.

"That's it. The runes are his weak spot!"

As Grime Stone focused on recovering to best of his ability, Sibella ran out with some of the ghost hunting gear. Danny floated down to the ground to meet her.

"I called Vincent, he and the others should be here shortly. Problem is another one of the Thirteen Ghosts crossed their paths and they're busy trying to wrangle that one into the chest."

"That's fine! I think I discovered Grime Stone's weakness! His connection to the runes is a two way street! We attack the stones with runes on them and we might be able to power him down!"

"That's great news, Danny! I noticed that the Fenton Peeler only had some effect on him though so I brought out some of the other weapons instead!"

"I don't know if we can just thermos this guy, but if we can weaken him enough by hitting him in the runes..."

Sibella held up the Fenton Crammer. "We can shrink his pieces down with the Fenton Crammer..."

"And then put his pieces into the Fenton Thermos one at a time, catching him!" Danny and Sibella finished in unison.

Danny and Sibella smiled at each other.

Danny had taken Sibella to new parts of herself she didn't even know existed, so he was leaving quite the impression on her.

Sibella was a quick learner and synced up with Danny's line of thinking faster than anyone he had ever met, so she was leaving an equally large impression on him.

Grime Stone waved his hand and a bunch of the stones with runes shot off at them.

Four of them landed around Danny and Sibella. When their runes started to glow, Danny made Sibella duck thus having their blasts fly harmlessly overhead.

As expected, each one was shooting something different. These four had a gust of wind, projectile limestone blocks of equal size as the shooter, red energy construct daggers, and one that shot out large wooden stakes.

Danny's foot glowed green and in spinning ectoplasmic sweep, he kicked them all away.

Grime Stone, for whatever reason, was set on letting his rune stones do his fighting for him. He threw two more at them, one landing near Danny.

The runes started to glow red and Danny threw up a small ecto-shield to protect his face. Instead of whatever Danny was expecting, the block shot out some red slimy goop that completely covered his feet.

He tried to free himself by making his feet intangible but the goop still held him firm. Sibella shot it with the Fenton Wrist Rays and it started to harden on contact. A firm pull and Danny shattered the goop, freeing his feet.

The stone got ready to fire again but Danny tackled Sibella away. They tumbled away on the ground for a little bit until they're momentum stopped and Danny ended up on top of Sibella.

They both stared at each other with widened eyes and large blushes on their faces. However, they couldn't really process the moment much more than that as another stone block near their heads started a power up glow.

Danny quickly shoved them apart and a red geyser of water shot out from the stone.

Danny landed a few feet away where he spotted a stone with a familiar tune on it.

The same stone that shot the fireball at him earlier tumbled over to him and shot another fireball. This time it was stopped by an ecto-shield but Danny already had enough of the block.

Danny shot a ghost ray at the stone directly in the runes. As Grime Stone winced in pain, Sibella walked over with the Fenton Crammer and shrunk the stone to the size of a pebble. She then picked it up and dropped it into the thermos.

"AAAAAGH!!!" Grime Stone let out a shriek of surprise as he felt his connection to the stone being completely cut off.

The former vampire and the halfa smiled at each other. A smile that Grime Stone didn't trust for a minute.

Entering a whole new level of fear, Grime Stone ran on both hands to retrieve his stone cube blocks from the new danger.

Feeling the ground quake from the weight of his giant stone hands, Grime Stone's charge was impossible not to notice.

"Danny, we need to do something quick! He's getting closer!"

Danny rubbed his green hands in preparation. What he was about to try was not necessarily new but on a much grander scale.

"Okay, bear with me for a second."

Concentrating hard, Danny put up a giant green ecto-dome forcefield around them. It was most likely the biggest he had ever produced, but it was big enough that it covered both he and Sibella with the remaining stone cube blocks. It also had Grime Stone outside so he couldn't physically interfere with their plan. Of course this didn't stop him from pounding on it with his stone fists in attempt to break it.

Danny fell to the ground, winded but still conscious.

She offered him a helping hand and Danny gave her a tired smile.

"I don't know how long this thing will hold, especially with him pounding on it, but it should give us the freedom to finish the job."

Now back on his feet, Danny took a breath and straightened up.

The two quickly found a process to dealing with the runes stone blocks. Danny would shoot one with a ghost ray, Sibella would shrink it, and they would alternate on who would put it in the thermos.

Things were going so well that Danny couldn't resist the urge for small talk.

"So... What are you into?"

"Volleyball."

Danny playfully rolled his eyes at the repeated news.

"I think you might have mentioned that before. What else are you into?"

Sibella had to give this question more thought than she would have guessed.

"Well... Sometimes I do a little ballet."

Danny couldn't help but smile. The thought of a blood sucking monster of the night in a tutu was hilarious. He couldn't help but laugh a little.

"A vampire ballerina? There's a pun in there somewhere!"

Sibella didn't seem offended by Danny's jab at all. If anything, she also saw the humor in it.

"I'm sure we could find it. What about you? When your not fighting evil ghosts or playing on your computer, what do you do?"

Danny shrugged as they put away their third stone cube block.

"I mostly hang with my friends Sam and Tucker. I am really into NASA though."

Sibella furrowed her brow in confusion.

"NASA?"

Danny knew she grew up in a world of monsters, but he couldn't believe Sibella didn't know what NASA was.

"Space. I want to be an astronaut when I grow up."

"What's an astronaut?"

With two more blocks away, Danny stared at her in disbelief.

"Someone who travels into space! How could you not... Wow. I guess ghouls really are in the dark about human society."

Sibella shrugged as they put away another stone.

"... I guess I just don't understand the appeal."

"Don't understand the... We've been to the moon!!"

Sibella stopped for a moment and looked at Danny incredulously.

"... Wait. Really?"

"Yes!! Neil Armstrong actually WALKED on the moon! And Buzz Al-You know what? If we finish this up in a hurry maybe I can show you."

Sibella let out a humored grunt and got back to shrinking the rock.

"It'll have to be on something that isn't your computer."

In all the excitement, Danny had actually forgotten that he had lost a computer. Of course it didn't compare to losing a wall to his HOUSE but still.

"Oh... Right. You might have a point there."

With Danny's mood turning down casted, Sibella decided to change the subject.

"I also like physical exercise like jogging."

Admittedly, jogging and exercising wasn't usually on Danny's mind but if being more fit could help improve himself like when he trained with Dash for the President's fitness test...

"You know, maybe a little more stretching of the limbs could help with my ghost fighting. Might be nice to do it with a familiar face..."

Sibella saw what Danny was subtly trying to do and was only too happy to accept it.

"I'd be happy to have you!"

With the last of the stone cube blocks sucked up, Grime Stone was looking a lot worse for wear. He had fallen to his hands, struggling to get up.

Danny lowered the shield and put a hand on Sibella's shoulder.

"You're the one he's been after this whole time. It's only fair for you to catch him."

Sibella smirked and pointed the thermos at Grime Stone the same way Danny had pointed it at the Box Ghost. A beam of light shot out of the thermos and enveloped Grime Stone completely.

"N-N-Noooooooo...."

Grime Stone was sucked into the thermos and Sibella firmly closed the lid on it.

"Ooooh! That IS satisfying. I can see why you and your friends do this............ If you ever see my friend Phanty, please don't tell her I said that."

"Ha ha. Consider it a promise. I don't really think I can keep you safe at my house anymore with a giant hole in it. So what would you say if I treated you around town until Vincent and your dad got here?"

Sibella was about to agree to it when some familiar green smoke appeared from thin air and started to swirl around in front of them.

Danny wasn't sure but he thought he heard Sibella mutter something about a "Date blocking sorcerer."

Vincent Van Ghoul appeared once more with his crystal ball but he wasn't alone this time. Standing next to him was a tall purple man that Danny could only assume was Sibella's father, Dracula.

"Awfully sorry we weren't able to get here sooner kids, but a certain Great Dane... Oh. What's all this now?"

Sibella handed the thermos to Vincent.

"We caught your ghost." Danny explained. "He was powerful...and tricky, but working together we got it done."

Vincent took the thermos, and pulled out a sticky note pad. "Well this turned out better than I ever could have hoped!" He wrote something on a sticky note, attached it to the thermos, and made it disappear in a puff of green smoke.

"My people will toss that thermos into the Chest of Demons right away! That alone should be enough to break Sibella's curse."

Danny walked up to Dracula. He found it ironic how he looked more human than Vlad Plasmius.

Danny offered his hand to the vampire king.

"Nice to meet you, sir. You have a very bright, capable daughter. You should be very proud."

Dracula shook his hand.

"I am always proud of her, but you young Fenton... I owe you a debt. If you ever need a favor, you have but to ask and I will give you my very Bat."

Danny laughed at the pun and Dracula appreciated that he got it.

"Well now that you mention it, there is the little matter of the collateral damage done to my house... That ghost was strong but he was reckless too."

Dracula looked at the hole in Danny's house and found himself unimpressed.

"Child's play! With my ghouls and resources, I can this repaired in a couple of hours." He gave Vincent a knowing smile. "Especially with a little magic to cut down on traveling?"

Vincent rolled his eyes. "Oh fine. Fine. I suppose we owe the lad that much."

Everyone's eyes turned to Sibella as she suddenly started having body spasms.

"Sibella!!! Vincent, what's happening to her?!"

To Danny's surprise, Vincent and Dracula were completely calm about what was happening to his new friend.

"Something good. This means the humans I sent the thermos to have tossed it into the Chest of Demons."

"That means the spell is broken." explained Dracula. "And my daughter is changing back to her usual beautiful batty self."

In a puff of black smoke, the human Danny had befriended was replaced with a vampire version of her.

"Wow. You weren't kidding about the purple. If you don't mind my saying so, I think I like your hair better this way. Looks longer and more like it could flow better. Like a cape but somehow better."

From the look on Sibella's face, she didn't mind at all.

The reality of the situation settled in by itself all too quickly though. With Sibella back to paranormal and the threat neutralized, there was no reason for her to stay.

Everyone there could feel it was time for sad departures.

"I guess this is goodbye." Sibella sadly stated.

Danny gave her a vulnerable smile.

"Maybe we'll meet again? I can show you my telescope and we can star gaze with it. I can show you why I think space is so great."

Sibella smiled at him flirtatiously.

"Consider it a date.

Dracula immediately placed himself between his daughter and the young halfa.

"Okay, that's enough." Dracula picked up Sibella and started to carry her away under his arm. "Any kind of 'dating' that MY little princess will do will only happen AFTER the school year at Grimwood's, and even then only WITH my Hunch Bunch supervising."

Sibella didn't even seem to mind. Instead of objecting she just waved goodbye to Danny with a face of 'Parents. What can you do?'

Danny waved back with a humored nod of understanding.

Dracula placed her between Vincent and himself as green smoke started to swirl around them to take them away.

"Daddy, how soon do you think I can see him again? He was more than just Fang-tastic, I might go out of my way to say that he was Phan-tastic!"

Dracula didn't say a word in response to her but sent a glare to Vincent.

"This is all your fault."

Vincent was taken back by Dracula's accusation.

"Me? What did I have to do with it?"

"He was your idea, wasn't he?!"

The smoke had completely covered them by now, Danny couldn't even see them anymore.

"To keep her safe and protected. And that's exactly what he did, I can't help it they fell for each other a little bit."

"... She is too young to date!"

"Oh for pity's sake, just let your child grow up!"

They were almost completely gone now but one last word echoed through to Danny.

"Never!!"

The smoke dissipated and there wasn't any sign of them. All Danny could think of was one thing.

"Tucker is never going to believe this one."

The End.

What do you think about au where Danny and Vlad are both teens? I know, there're some variants of this (from Friend From the Other Side to Vlad-befriended-with-Danny-only-for-his-hot-mom), so, I'd like to hear your version.

I actually really like this idea and had a blast drawing it for last year's Pompep Week prompt "Both Teens" (see below)

I'd planned on writing a short fic to go along with it when it came time to post everything on AO3, but I never managed to get too far. That WIP takes place in Danny's timeline (2004), where Vlad is a new kid in class. The working title is The New Kid (lol), which you can see here on my WIP "sort of" masterlist. And since no one asked about that one for the WIP game, here's a snippet:

“What’s your name?”

The boy hesitated. “Vlad.”

Danny’s heart sank. This kid was bully fodder for sure. “Wow. Uh, that’s—”

“Yes, I’m American. Yes, I was born in this country and speak English. No, I’m not a vampire,” the boy named Vlad snapped. 

Danny backpedaled. “It’s okay. I was gonna say it’s a pretty cool name.”

Vlad stared, head cocked and one eye narrowed.

“Yeah. Names that start with V are cool. Valentine, Vincent…”

“You must like Final Fantasy 7.”

After a startled pause, Danny laughed. “Yeah, I walked into that one, didn’t I? What about you? You play video games?”

“A little. Mostly arcade stuff. I’m pretty good at Mortal Kombat.”

Probably poor, Danny decided. “There’s an arcade here in town. I mean, if you don’t already know. They’ve got some good deals if you play by the hour.” He almost offered to meet up there sometime, then he realized he hadn’t even introduced himself. “Um, I’m Danny. Danny Fenton.” He pointed. “Those are my friends, Sam and Tucker. We were wondering if you wanna come sit with us.”

Vlad seemed tempted but cautious. “Really?”

“Yeah. Don’t worry, they’re cool. Besides, you’re fresh meat sitting out here by yourself. The jocks’ll destroy you if they catch wind. C’mon, safety in numbers.”

“I’m not afraid of anyone.”

“Oh, you will be, trust me. Dash Baxter thinks it’s his personal duty to welcome every new student to Casper High by giving them a super wedgie, and you don’t even wanna see what he’s like when he’s in a bad mood.”

“Wow. Guy sounds like a fucking troglodyte.”

The smoothness with which the F-bomb was delivered stunned Danny for a few seconds. But then he smiled, invigorated by the sharp, cynical intellect he’d just discovered. “A total fucking troglodyte.”

A beat passed, then Vlad shouldered his backpack and gathered his lunch.

While I mostly prefer older Vlad and younger Danny because of the uneven power dynamic, it's fun to level the playing field every now and then and let them be the same age.

Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell in His Kind of Woman (John Farrow, 1951)

Cast: Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, Vincent Price, Tim Holt, Charles McGraw, Marjorie Reynolds, Raymond Burr, Leslye Banning, Jim Backus, Philip Van Zandt, John Mylong, Carleton G. Young. Screenplay: Frank Fenton, Jack Leonard. Cinematography: Harry J. Wild. Production design: J. McMillan Johnson. Film editing: Frederic Knudtson, Eda Warren. Music: Leigh Harline. 

His Kind of Woman starts out as a tough-talking film noir and ends up as a knockabout action comedy. The credit or blame for that belongs to Howard Hughes, the RKO studio head and executive producer, who waited until John Farrow had finished the movie and then had Richard Fleischer re-shoot it, even recasting the villain, originally played by Lee Van Cleef, with Raymond Burr. The New York Times reviewer hated it, partly because of the shift in tone, but most people like it. Robert Mitchum and Jane Russell were never going to outdo Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in dialogue like "They tell me you killed Ferraro. How did it feel?" "He didn't say." But they're good enough at it that they give the movie a core that the flurry of oddball characters and the loony setup for the plot needs. Vincent Price is wonderful as an Errol Flynnish movie star who spouts tags from Shakespeare as he joins Mitchum in taking on the bad guys. Hughes made sure that Russell's gowns, designed by Howard Greer, were as revealing as possible, and Mitchum spends a lot of the film without his shirt, looking a little thick in the waist to contemporary viewers used to gym-toned physiques. The end product probably wasn't worth the money Hughes lost on it, but it's still fun.

fellow fansies - I have complied a (hopefully) comprehensive list of cast members for anyone new to the fandom or for those who may like a refresher on the casts. I've not included every single character, just the main ones, so if you'd like a character adding just ask; also if you notice any cast members are missing or have been labelled incorrectly in any way, please let me know, I want this list to be as accurate as possible. characters with a dash (-) for any of the categories I wasn't sure if they were included in that production or not. if you're able to fill in any of the blanks that would be much appreciated. any questions, please let me know <3

Book Review: Can't Catch My Breath by Sarah Sutton

I can't even express just how much this book warmed my soul and really resonated with me.

Going into Can't Catch My Breath, I knew I'd love it. I mean, there isn't a book by Sarah that I haven't fallen in love with. So I didn't think this one would be any different. But honestly, this one hit in a way none of her other books have for me. Mostly because, I know what it's like to lose a parent-figure. I know the feelings you go through - the type of grief that holds. And Sarah did a really great job of portraying that. This book isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but it's real! You get the struggle and you get the good moments too. Because even in bad times, there are still good days. Or good moments.

I think a big part of this story feeling so real is the characters. Sarah always has a way of bringing the characters on the page to life, but by the end of this book I felt like I really knew Vincent and Addy. She builds their emotions and thoughts so carefully that you come to feel like these people are your friends. You're there in the coffee shop with them. You're there for their awkward conversations and you're there as they get to know each other and grow closer.

I also really love that Sarah decided to brand this book along with her previous three into a series! It's so fun finding all the little Easter eggs in each book and getting a bigger picture at how each town and school ties together. With each of her 4 books, you get new pieces of the map as you work your way around Fenton County. It's like a scavenger hunt and it's easily one of my favorite parts of these books.

You should know before you go into Can't Catch My Breath that this book is a pretty serious one. It deals heavily with grief and the loss of a parent. It will take you through the earliest emotions of dealing with a tragedy like this and I'm sure it might be hard for some people who are still learning to cope with something like this. So, as good as this book is, it might not be for everyone. However, if you feel like you can make it through a book like this, it is well worth the read. I'm 15 years past the loss of a parent-figure and this actually helped me come to terms with some of my feelings even this long after the fact. I think some of us will relate to this book in ways others might not. And it can be a relief realizing that we aren't the only ones who have ever felt this kind of pain.

Overall, I'm giving this book 5 stars! It took me a little time to make my way through it - but I'm typically a slow reader so that isn't saying anything. It was so good and I can't wait to see what Sarah has for us next!

(I was lucky enough to get an e-arc of this wonderful book. This in no way influenced my thoughts or my review of this book.)
