We watch as the tornado starts to chase after Vlad as everyone else runs away. 

"Okay, that's weird, it's almost as if Danny caused that twister," Tuck says as his, Sam's, Logan's, and my gaze land on Danny when we hear the Fenton RV drive up. 

"If that weather ghost is around here, I'll show him a pressure zone he'll never forget!" Jack shouts when they stop abruptly when Vlad runs by them.

 The twister follows, taking the Fenton RV with it.

"No!" Danny cries out, worry washing over him as the twister disappears, the RV landing into some trees. 

"Jack, (m/n), (f/n), are you ok?!" Maddie asks, hopping up from the floor to see my parents nodding and Jack pulling away from the Vlad suit face.

"Sure thing, sweetcakes! The airbags didn't deploy, but thank goodness for the big Vlad head!"

Danny and I race over to where the trees holding them were when our friends came after us.

"Guys, wait!" Sam called after us.

"We gotta go help our parents!" Danny shouts back.

"Both of your parents are fine; it's Danny we're worried about." 

"Our parents are stuck in a tree! Why are you worried about Danny?" I ask, causing Logan to roll his eyes. 

"They've gone through worse; they'll be fine." 

"Call us nuts, but we just saw the weather change three times in sync with your mood," Sam explains, holding up three fingers when Vlad barges into our conversation. 

"That's preposterous!"

"Back off, Masters! Haven't you caused enough trouble?" I ask with a glare while crossing my arms.

"You shut up!" He shouted back, Danny fisting his hands and glowing red.

"She said, back off, Masters!" 

A small rain cloud appeared over Vlad's head, and we watched as it started shooting lightning bolts at him and continued to chase him wherever he went. 

"See what we mean?" Tuck asks, and I nod as Danny looks himself over.

"I have felt tingly since that lightning blew up my force field." 

"The electricity passing through your ecto shield must've caused you to absorb some of Vortex's weather-controlling power!" Vlad exclaims, stopping for a moment to address us before running away from the cloud again. 

"Meaning you need to take a deep breath and calm down before we have another storm like the last one," I point out.

 Danny grabs my hand before taking a deep breath in and out, causing the clouds to part to reveal the singing sun.

"I've heard of having a sunny disposition, but this is nuts."

The six of us had all gathered in Vlad's office, where we were trying to keep Danny calm and happy. Right now, he was having a hot flash, so while Tucker fanned him, I got a wet towel to cool him off while Sam and Logan were making something cold for him to drink. 

"Curses! Just when I'm on the verge of a triumph, the roller-coaster emotions of a-a teenager threaten my plans!" Vlad complains, pacing the room as Danny sits up and points at him.

"Hey! You brought the guy here in the first place!" Danny started to glow blue, and the windows burst open with gusting winds. 

All four of us make our way to Danny and force him to sit down, saying in unison, "Calm down!" 

Danny takes another breath, and the wind stops.

"Easy, big guy, keep it mellow." 

"The implications are serious, Daniel. Your anger could cause cyclones, your sadness monsoons! You're going to have to remain here and keep calm until your friends can find Vortex and bring him back here!"

"What about you?" Logan asks, crossing his arms as we all glare at him.

Vlad crosses his arms, answering as if it were obvious. "Negative. The mayor's absence in the wake of disaster would create civic unease." 

"Uh-huh, along with the instant end of your political career and all subsequent evil plans," Sam points out, causing Vlad to laugh.

"Touché." 

"He is right, though, if the mayor disappears during the town's time of need, that's not going to go well. People will start to panic, and chaos might spread, so even if Vlad wasn't evil or cared about his political career, he has to stay here," I chime in with a sigh, making Vlad sigh as well.

"I guess I'll have to take it upon myself to help (y/n) keep Danny safe and calm until you complete the task." 

"Us, stay with you?! Forget it!"

Another cloud appears overhead of Vlad and starts to pour down on him as he shouts, "Will. You. Quit. Doing that?!" 

"Look on the bright side, Danny, until we get back, he's going to have to cater to your's and (y/n)'s every wimb and desire," Tucker points out, patting Danny's shoulder.

"Yeah, he wouldn't want to make you angry," Sam chimed in.

"What do you say, Danny? Feel like going on a really expensive date?" I ask with a smirk, crossing my arms as we all eye Vlad.

"This pleases me," Danny cackled.

We started with lunch, agreeing with Vlad that we'd settle for eating at his place if he cooked the meal. 

Danny takes a bite out of his sandwich, soon spitting it out as he glew red, shouting to the kitchen, "Hello?! I specifically said no tomato!"

 I reach out and grab his arm with a light squeeze. "Hey, it's okay, he'll make you another one, right, Vlad?!"
