Author's Notes:

Pfft I am going nuts with this damn thing.
May I present Danny in braids
Yeah, it's official, I'm bored as fuck. XD
I still say that you cheated." Danny said for about the millionth time during the fly home.

"Oh please, if you really thought that you wouldn't have let me do the braids, and just be glad that the others stayed at Sam's house." Dani replied with a laugh.

"If Dash, Technus or Skulker see me like this I'll fill your room with snow. And not in a fun 'yay snow' kind of way, no I'll do it in a 'fuck it'll take me hours to clean this' kind of way."

"Seems fair, but couldn't you just go invisible if you see them?"

"...My brain is broken today. I blame it on the fact that I have math homework." He said after a beat.

"Isn't your brain always broken?"

"Ouch." The older teen laughed but he didn't argue with the statement, choosing instead to close his eyes and 'glide' rather than flying, trying to savor to feeling of being so high up. He laughed again and did a flip in the air, feeling positively giddy.

The two halfas arrived at the Fenton Works right on time for dinner and took their seats at the table, turning human. Their mother took one look at Danny, tried not to laugh and succeeded/failed.

"Um did you lose a bet to Dani again?" she asked, setting the plates of food (meatloaf and mashed potatoes) in front of them.

"What do you mean?" the male halfa asked as if he had no idea what she was talking about.

"Hey where's dad?" Dani asked

"Still in the lab," Maddie sighed. "He insists that the portal needs to be updated, he wants to add a feature that would make the filter clean itself out."

"It's a good idea when you think about it. Was there anyone waiting for us?" the older teen asked.

"Not that I know of." Their mom replied.

"Oh." He started eating.

"He wasn't sure if he was happy or sad about the news. On one hand, that meant that there was no one to see him with his dumb (in his opinion) hairstyle. On the other hand he hadn't seen Johnny, Shadow or Kitty in forever. He could understand Johnny not wanting to see him; he had been pretty pissed after all but Kitty? That one had taken him by surprise, especially since she had been the one playing peace maker and apologizing for her boyfriend's words. Sure, Danny was angry with the motorcyclist, especially after hearing about how he had been spreading rumors but he couldn't deny the fact that he missed his friend. In fact if Johnny suddenly appeared in front of him he was fairly sure that he would go back to acting like friends with the ghost; after slapping the shit outta him for leaving for so long of course.

"I wonder where Johnny and Kitty are, we haven't seen them in a while. I hope everything is okay." His sister said as if she was reading his thoughts.

"I'm sure they're fine, if anything was wrong Ember would have said something. They have their own lives too you know." The male halfa said.

"Yeah, you're right." She replied with a trace of sadness in her voice that sent arrows of guilt through his heart.

'Johnny you jerk, you can be angry and hate me all you want but at least come over for Dani.' He thought as he continued to eat,

When he was done he retreated into his room and started his homework assignments. There were three in total: One was the dreaded math homework, another was a history work; the teacher had written a list of things relating to medieval times and the task was to separate the truths from the stereotypes. The final one was to look up a shitload of definitions of words that have to do with poems not to mention put them in alphabetical order, courtesy of Mr. Lancer's class.

He did the history one first, knowing most of the answers off the top of his head; he only had to look up the answer to a few. After that he did the trigonometry work which was a pain in the ass. He had already thought that math was hard enough before they decided to get the alphabet and shapes involved. After calling his friends for help about ten times he was finished with the assignment. He then rushed to do the definitions.

He would have loved to make clones of himself to get the work done but the last time he had done that all he had gotten was a headache. He finally finished the last work (though he was pretty sure that he had fallen asleep with his eyes open at least twice) about two seconds after he was done he heard a knock on the window. He whirled around in his chair and smiled at Vlad, giving a sigh of relief.

"And the best timing in the world award goes to Mr. Masters."

"Doing homework?" the man asked, phasing through the window and turning human.

"Yep, fuck how late is it?" he glanced at the clock; it was exactly ten o'clock. "I give up on school, kidnap me now please." He deadpanned, stretching his arms over his head hearing a nice little pop in return.

The other halfa laughed. "Uh Plasmius has kidnapped you in the past."

"Yeah but now I agree to it. Ignore half of what I say; my filter falls out when I've been doing a shitload of homework."

"Sounds like me after I've been doing paperwork all day." The man said, sitting on the bed.

The teen quirked an eyebrow. "You? Mr. Prim and proper who's curses always relate to pastries or cheese." He giggled at that last bit.

"You'd be surprised, once I ranted to my cat for a solid half hour about not being able to buy the Packers."

The younger laughed. "One: seriously? Two: you actually took my suggestion of getting a cat all that time ago?"

"Yes to both questions. Was there a dress rehearsal for the play today?"

Danny quirked his head a bit, confused. "No, the roles were announced today, why'd you ask?"

"Uh..." the other motioned to him with his hand.

The teen looked at him, perplexed for a good five seconds before remembering about the braids and facepalmed.

"Oh that's fan fucking tastic, yesterday I talk to you in a crib, today with my hair up in braids and bat bows. Hey, tomorrow would you prefer to talk to me while I'm dressed like a cheerleader or a policeman or something?" he said, wanting very much to turn invisible.

"Nothing- none- whatever you want. Dressed normally-" Vlad sighed and closed his eyes for a second, and pinched the bridge of his nose, face a bit red. Though the other was too busy fiddling with one of his braids to notice. "Is there a specific reason as to why your hair is in such a manner? Not that it doesn't look good of course."

"I lost a bet to Dani." He deadpanned.

"Ah, well that explains it. So what role did you get in the play?" the other halfa asked, trying to change the topic.

"Gretel, the teacher said that when I did my tryout for Hansel I made it seem like he was trying to lead his sister into a fight rather than comforting her."

"Well you are good being a leader though I suppose that wouldn't work for the specific role of Hansel. Either way I'm so glad that you got the lead." The man praised.

"Thanks," he beamed. "You should come see the play, it goes on the day before Christmas break, the 19th."

"Is that an invitation?" he asked, teasing just a bit.

"Maybe," the teen replied, stretching the word to a comical length. "You could show up invisibly or in your ghost form or something."

"I'll see what I can do. Who got the part of Hansel?"

Dany let out a nervous laugh. "Um Dash did."

"... Please tell me that you're joking." Vlad said after a moment, sighing.

"I'm not, sorry."

"What on earth possessed the teacher to give the role to that neanderthal? I thought that you said that your drama teacher wasn't as oblivious to how Dash treats you, unlike your English teacher."

"He is. I mean he isn't, hell. Look Dash did a good tryout believe it or not. Mr. Macrone does kinda know how Dash messes with me, he even asked me if I wanted to switch roles because of that; I chose to keep the part. Besides, since we're the co-stars it means that Dash has to pretend to play nice, during school hours at least. Don't worry about it."

"Just don't let him mess with you so much okay? I know that it's become a habit to you but still."

"I'll try, promise. Besides today I went invisible today when he was looking for me, Dani convinced him that he had confused her for me." He laughed, remembering the bewildered look on the jock's face.

"I'm pretty sure that you two don't look that alike."

He giggled. "Well you haven't seen Dani recently. Under a certain light we look pretty similar; she's still shorter than me though."

"Well I suppose it could be an easy mistake to make, especially with your hair being so long."

"My hair isn't that long, and look who's talking." The teen said, crossing his arms in mock anger.

"Okay okay, you win." The older halfa relented.

Danny rolled his eyes and smiled before packing up his homework. He got up, rummaged through his drawers before picking out of pair a pajamas, black with green radioactive symbols on them.

"Be right back." He went into his bathroom, closed the door behind him, washed the concealer off, made a mental note to buy more, changed his clothes, glared at his hair in the mirror, exited the bathroom, plugged in the nightlight, switched off the light and climbed onto the bed, followed by the other halfa.

Vlad was just about to fall asleep when the younger suddenly shattered the silence. "Johnny still hasn't spoken to me."

"You haven't seen him?" the man asked, propping himself upon his elbow and giving the other his full attention.

"No, I know he's angry with me and all but I didn't expect him to just start ignoring me."

"I'm sure that he's not ignoring you, he probably wants to talk with you but doesn't know how to stop being stubborn."

"Yeah but I haven't seen Kitty either."

"More than likely she's trying to convince him to visit or they're both just busy."

"I know, I know. I told the same thing to Dani earlier but I can't help but feel like I screwed up again."

"You didn't," he reassured. "Remember that there was this one time that we didn't see each other in a week and it was because of what?"

"Because we were both being stupid at the same time," The younger halfa sighed and gave a tired smile. "Okay, I get it, thanks. Goodnight Vlad."

"Goodnight Daniel." He replied before both of them drifted off to sleep.

Author's Notes:

Vlad what the fuck were you thinking when Danny was asking about the costume thing? O.O Pfft hahaha shit I'm bored.
When a filter falls off it doesn't just mean that the person will just curse it means that they will say what's on their minds without thinking, hence why Danny said that (kinky) costume thing. (I'm drunk, ignore me XD. Well I'm not actual drunk but still)
Pkay to all of you who think that homework don't take that long think again. Math homework takes a shitload of time, as does definitions. Especially when you have to put them in alphabetical order. What I'm trying to say here is that definitions suck, and not in a good way. Plus he fell asleep with his eyes opened a couple of times. That's happened to me a few times. Once was in the middle of class, when I finally snapped out of it I discovered that I was drooling and had already formed a small puddle on my paper ;-; fml. Plus there was one of me friends was just staring at me like a weirdo, that happened in like fourth grade but still, I shall never forget the look on his face. XD
NEXT CHAPTER HAS A TIME SKIP (just one or two months, calm down) Why? Because I'm lazy as fuck.
Nothing major happens between this chapter and the next. Vlad and Danny are still oblivious idiots. ;-;
ALSO: Kitty and Johnny are fine, they're not being held hostage or somethin.
