Okay, until now I have been too busy obsessively reading for the past...4 days? to stop and comment, or even to add it to my alert list. The most I could do was put a link to the story while the next chapter was loading.
But now that I finally tore myself away, here is a review. As you say, a piece of chocolate. Yum.
Well you've probably gotten a lot of this, but its awesome :) The first couple chapters were a little shaky, which is definitely understandable after 9 years, but it soon picked up and became very engaging and flowed smoothly. This is a very original and complex plot (refreshing), and you really do portray Vlad very accurately.
...I'm such a geek. Anyways, point is, it's awesome, is probably going to make me an insomniac, and I dread the end, because my obsession will then need another super awesome fanfic to feed on.
Keep Flying,

During the food fight my cheeks were hurting from smiling so much XD
I noticed a few typos, such as cease instead of seize, but it's understandable at least.
Does that mean there's going to be horses come next chapter? I love horses!

*sniffle* i actually started tearing up in this one. I was like, "Dang it Vlad, haven't you seen the 2nd movie?!" And then I cried...and then I was like, "NO DANNY DON'T DO IT!" And now...even though it's really late @ night and I should be resting for school tomorrow (quick! Vlad-muse, kill me now!) but I don't care, this is worth it.

Yes Vlad, you deserve the guilt *glare* *to Danny* it's ok, the animators and writers of The Ultimate Enemy never actually have you turn into Dan...at least, I don't think...AH!

XD ohmigod I lost it. Aw poor Danny...

XD No, I think this is the best chapter so far.

Hi! Sorry I haven't reviewed in forever but I have definitely kept up-to-date with your chapters and I love the story so far! I love how danny and vlad's relationship has changed since the beginning of this story. Before they would throw ecto blasts and glares at each other but now they throw food at each other!! LOL, I absolutely loved reading the food fight scene, it seriously made me laugh so hard! It was funny when they accidentally threw food at Ms. Thomas and they both blushed, so cute!! :D It was especially funny seeing Vlad blush lol!!
It was also cute when Danny wanted to make cookies!! But then Jazz had to ruin it all!! But I don't blame her for missing poor danny!! I even feel sorry for Jazz cuz she's all confused and doesn't know what to do!! *hugs Jazz* Also poor Vlad feels all guilty with Danny's situation and all.*hugs Vlad* But ya danny and vlad's relationship sure has changed, but vlad is still vlad, but hopefully danny can change that! Overall love the chappie! it was definitely a huge break for our two favorite hybrids from all the angst and bad stuff that happened with stupid Dazzler. Again LOVED it and of course can't wait for the next chapter! :D

this story is great. XD I miss read "Vlad flew up" and I thought it said "Vlad threw up" and I was like, "wait, wait...what?!" XDD But then again, I'm wearing my glasses...never trust my glasses...

I like this ch. the best ^_^

lol, “It’s official, I’m surrounded by lunatics." = best line ever! XD

fantastic chapter!

;_; (sniffs)

That was...quite sad. It started out so funny but the angst! THE ANGST!

Oh, heh, does this count as flangst then? Well I guess this was humor and angst and not fluff and angst but there was some fluff too. YES, I think it qualifies.

(starts crying again) Oh man...I just want to hug Danny and Jazz and Vladdy-chan and Danny again and then V-man some more and another for Jazz and a couple for Maddie and Jack and then Danny and Vladina again ('cause I can and seriously who can resist hugging the halfas? I know I can't... ;P)

Danny! (hugs him) Aw, don’t be sad. I mean, of course you’re going to be sad—who wouldn’t be in your situation?—but it will all get better eventually! Vladomino can’t keep his guilt at bay forever. Eventually he is going to cave in and then he’ll let you go back home. Besides, if he doesn’t…well we’ll just have to have a little chat, won’t we Vladdypants? Yup, you, me, and my handy dandy FENTON ANTI CREEP STICK! I might also have to come after Pearl… (shifty eyes) Oh yes…

Vladpudding (glomps him) I have to say I’m feeling your pain too. I actually had a moment there when Jazz called on your cell and then when Danny came into your private study (or was it lounge? Whatever…) where I was like, OH CRAP! Don’t let them find out! Don’t let Danny figure it out! And then I was like, whut? Really? Was I just rooting for the older halfa?! (mind blown) But I guess I was feeling the same thing you were feeling: I didn’t want Danny to find out and be mad at you. Oh man, I’m such a fan of your similar-to-a-father-and-son-but-not-really-but-close-enough-and-adorable relationship with Danny now. It’s kinda crazy. (is amused with herself)

BUT DUDE! You’re on the edge of letting it all out, Vladdypuss. It’s all right there! And I have to say it needs to come out—in the right way. In the right way, Vladmeister, okay? Tread carefully, dude, or you will lose your progress—WHICH BY THE WAY…

OH MAN, Pearl, you kept me up at night after I read the chapter before this. I was all worried ‘cause I was thinking about how you were making this story fit into the canon series right before season three. And I thought, “but Danny and Vladdy-sama hate each other in season three! (grabs both halfas and sniffs) NO, they can’t hate each other!?! Not after all this! WHAT THE HECK!? What happens that changes their budding friendship and makes them so upset with each other?!” I spent a good couple hours trying to reconcile the two in my head (chuckles) and failed to figure it out. It was very upsetting. Haha…I really do throw myself into the stories I read completely.

Anyways, it’s starting to make sense to me now. First, season three starts off with a series of pranks culminating in Captain Vladdy becoming the mayor. OH MY GOODNESS. IT MAKES SENSE! Vladoodle eventually lets Danny go back home (I remain firm on this) but as we have already guessed and which was made abundantly clear in this chapter, it will devastate him to do it. SO, what better way to resolve this then to move somewhere where he can be with Danny more! (grins and waves her hands happily in the air) YAY! Becoming Mayor Vladdy makes so much more sense now! He can see Danny whenever he wants to!

You know what also makes sense? I was intrigued by how in season three Vladmuffin’s obsession with coming after Jack, Maddie, and Danny practically disappears. I can’t think of one occasion where he pulls the whole renounce-your-dad-forsake-your-duties-as-Danny-Phantom-and-join-me routine that he does in previous seasons. It’s always kinda bothered me but if Checkmate was inserted in canon IT MAKES SENSE. Of course he wouldn’t! He’s already tried that and it obviously didn’t work out the way he had planned (thank goodness for that!)

There are still some things that don’t make sense to me. I still feel like there is a lot of animosity between the two of them in season three and now that makes me sad. And then there’s Vladicken’s growing need to dominate the world or “find his destiny”…Oh hey, wait that makes sense. His goal for the past twenty years had been to get back at Jack and marry Maddie. Danny was added to the mix when they met at the reunion, but after Checkmate that wouldn’t be his goal…So he’d be looking for a new one! A new destiny! (gasps) OH! Oh man I love your gap fillers!

That just leaves the animosity! (is very pleased)

And speaking of more happy subjects… (bursts out in a fit of giggles) I guess George deserves a hug too after his kitchen was taken over by Danny (and later Vladdycakes)! AHAHAHA, the poor guy! And the maids too! OH MAN, the idea of the two halfas having an epic food fight is just too awesome! I’ve been in a food fight mind you, it is crazy! A lot of fun though…

Did you know (tangent time) that the only thing that left a stain was the mustard? Not the ketchup, the spaghettios, the chocolate syrup, the ice cream, the sloppy mixture of oatmeal, water, and who knows what else that one kid was throwing at me, or the marshmallow cream, but the mustard. Weird, eh?

Anyways, the food fight scene was awesome. The teasing beforehand, equally awesome. Their cookie baking moment, also awesome! Haha, it is just so weird to think those two were arch enemies only fifty chapters ago, eh? HAHA…

Oh hey by the way, I agree with Danny on the whole Stephanie thing. She creeps me out too! Not in a bad way necessarily but I am also concerned by how much she knows and how much she could find out if Danny spends time with her. On the other hand, I love Danny’s subtle jibes at Vladchica about his relationship with her. Come on, Danny, it’s time for you and I to play matchmaker with these two!

(now has the song from The Fiddler on the Roof in her head) Lol…

Huh, what was Ms. Thomas doing in Vladsicle’s lab? Oh, was she coming out of the ghost portal? I thought for sure it was going to be Niane! Then they’d be all suspicious about her… We got a few more hints that McVladdy is starting to pay attention to what she does. Keep at it, Vladdypal! We want to know too!

Ah, one more thing. JAZZ! (pats her hand sympathetically) As an oldest sister myself, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND! Oh man, it would tear me to pieces to know one of my younger siblings was living with someone I considered an enemy! AND THEN TO REALIZE DANNY WAS OKAY THERE! Augh, hearing his laughter had to be the worst thing ever… (cringes) Oh man oh man, just listen to Clockwork okay? Let it be! Vladerific will give in eventually and you’ll have your brother back, kay? You have to.

Hm…I think this might be the longest review I’ve left yet. I’ll have to check after it’s posted. Oh well, this was intense and therefore had an intense response! I shall leave now after snagging myself a free fruit-loop hug! (grins) C’mere, Vladdymuse! GIVE DIZGIRL A HUG!

Man... that was harsh. I don't even know what to say, but things are definitely starting to look interesting! Before, I was trying to think of different ways that Danny could get out of the situation with Vlad, but to be honest with you, I can't think of any now. Their relationship is also a strange one. The food fight made me laugh, and I agree with you about Vlad pulling the pranks on Danny in Eye for an Eye. The humor in there definitely lightened up the mood, but the tension, GAH! It's epic. lol. I feel SO bad for Jazz, though. That must have been tough to hear, but I don't know if she'll go for a few more escape tactics or if she'll just leave Danny alone. In other words, you are gonna make it ten times harder for me to sleep until your next update. This is a good thing for your writing, but a poor thing for my grades. XD Again, AWESOME JOB! Update soon, please and thank you! :D

Just wanted to tell you I was almost crying near the end. You're really good at writing emotions.

It has been a while since I last read this story, about a year I'd say. So, I read the whole story from chapter 1. Took me 3-4 days. ^^
I completely fell in love with the story again! I love how Vlad has to decide between his guilt and his need to be with Danny. And I really like how you added Stephanie to make getting over Maddie easier for him! o^^o Please more!
