Hello everyone! My name is Sorceress, and I hope you are well! This is my first ever multichapter story and my first time on FFN, but that doesn't mean you can go easy on me! I would love to have constructive criticism and to answer any questions you have (as long as they're not personal and they aren't spoilers) and flames I simply use for BBQ.That said, let's hit the rules!
This is a multilingual story, mostly focused on English and Italian. I used Google Translate so if the phrases are wrong or if you can give me better ones, let me know and I'll make a note of them.
There's swearing (They are teenagers, it's going to happen), mentions of molestation and neglect. When the middle of these things comes up I'll let you know at the beginning of the chapter. There is some mention of consensual sex, just mentioned though.
This is BoyxBoy, if you don't like that, then you don't need to be reading this anyway. There is much worse than this though, which is why I'd say this is a high T, (depending on the person) and a very low M.
Danny is about 18 in this by the way.
Okay, if you managed to read all that, then congrats! If not, then don't come throwing things at me when I did in fact warn you. That said,
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, it belongs to Butch Hartman. I do this for fun and NOT for profit.Let's begin shall we?
This is supposed to be a line break...
Chapter one: We're going on a Cruise?
"Danny, who are you talking to?"
Four year old Daniel James Fenton casted a eye to his mother before bringing his attention back to the picture he was coloring. "Fan-tom." He said pointing to his left. Maddie blinked, glancing back over to her son, "Who's Phantom?"
Danny, slightly confused, pointed again, "This is Phantom." He insisted, pronouncing the word right that time. Maddie rolled her eyes, dropping the subject. "If you say so sweetie. I just came to tell you that lunch is almost ready."
"Okay Mama!" Danny stood from what he was doing, baby blue eyes sparkling. Maddie chuckled and walked back into the kitchen.
"Do you want to come too,
Fan-tom?" Danny asked the boy next to him.
"No, I'm okay Danny, you go ahead."
Danny nodded, expecting the answer. "Okay, I'll be back!" Danny said with a big smile.
Line break...
HONK! HONK!
"AH!"
Danny Fenton falls out of the bed he was sharing with his sister, landing on his neck and shoulder. He groans in pain, sitting up and looking around the room that has two king beds, a small nightstand and medium sized dresser, and is momentarily confused about his surroundings. Then he remembers.
Wish this app actually saves my line breaks...
"We're going on a cruise?"
"That's right Jazz, since you're going to be home for a couple of months and Danny's finally graduated from high school, I thought it would be nice to have one more family vacation before my big man goes off to college!" Maddie baby talked at the end, pinching Danny's cheek in affection.
Danny swatted his mother's hand away before he crossed his arms, "When did this come up? And why a cruise? Don't we usually go camping or something for a vacation?"
"Well..." Said the brunette, suddenly looking unsure. She was interrupted by her husband Jack, who threw his arm around her with a big grin.
"There's gonna be a big ghost convention in Bermuda! We're going by the Bermuda Triangle to see if we can pick up anything eerie about it so we can blather on about it when we get there!"
"As much fun as that sounds," Jazz said brow raised, "I don't want to sit through some convention that exasperates your crazy obsession over something that doesn't exist. I was happy when Danny got over his phase and I don't want him picking it up again."
Danny glanced over at his sister with confusion and slight annoyance, "Jazz, I may not remember what that part of my life was about, but I know it didn't have anything to do with ghosts!" He turned his glare back to his mother, "And besides, I had plans with Sam and Tucker before we all go to different collages!"
"Well your going to have to cancel. You can see them during spring break and other times like that can't you?" Maddie said, "We've hardly spent time as a family anymore, I want to spend some time with the whole family before you both leave and it just be me and your father most of the year." She finished with hands on her hips and a no nonsense tone that hid the desperation she felt. Jack stood behind her and shot them the puppy dog eyes that Danny had inherited.
The siblings relented. "We'll go get ready." They sighed as they trudged up the stairs, Danny resigned to calling his friends and telling them the news.
Because doing it like this is tedious and disrupts the flow of the story...
Danny groans again at the memory before getting dressed in his usual jeans and T-shirt and walking out on deck. He leans against the railing of the ship, enjoying the peace of the early morning. He had no clue where his family was and right now has no desire to look for them, figuring they would find him if they really needed him.
Sure enough, he hears footsteps behind him. The person comes over to his side and a quick glance reveals his sister. They stand in silence before Jazz decides to break it.
"I know the destination isn't to our liking, but you know they mean well," She said.
Danny snorts and shakes his head, "Oh yeah, 'We wanna get a reading on the Bermuda Triangle, oh! And just for the hell of it, let's take Danny and Jazz! It'll be the perfect time to try to get them interested in ghosts before the convention!'"
Jazz sighs, "You know that's not what they meant when they wanted us to come along. We could at least try to have fun."
Danny huffs sadly as he gazes out at the vast blue ocean, "Yeah I know, it's not like I don't want go to Bermuda, I'm curious about the Triangle too, It's just..." He trails off.
"You wish it didn't have anything to do with ghosts?" Jazz guessed.
"Yeah."
Jazz puts a sympathetic hand on her brother's shoulder. "I feel the same way. But I've learned a long time ago that it doesn't do any good to try and change the way they think. And in their own way they are trying to connect and bond with us. Do you think you can give it a chance and enjoy yourself while we're here?" She grins in reassurance.
Danny nods. "Yeah, I'll try. Thanks Jazz."
He still doesn't feel any better, but Danny knows that his sister meant well and he really appreciates it. She pats him on the shoulder, "I'm going in for breakfast. You wanna come with?"
"Nah, you go ahead. I'll be in in a minute." She nods and walks away.
Danny turns back to gaze at the horizon again. The sun is halfway over the ocean from where he could see, casting the water in many shades of blue and pink. Danny feels a pair of arms wrap around him and hears a deep voice in his ear.
"It's beautiful isn't it? Just like before."
Danny looks behind him, but doesn't see anyone else there. The feeling is gone as well. He glances around in confusion before shrugging it off and following Jazz inside, unaware of the pair of glowing green eyes that follow him as he leaves.
