Author's Note: Chapter one starts with Danny at two years old.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.

Danny watched his big sister played dollies with her friend from inside the closet.

He had to hide because if Jazzy caught him in here, she would call Daddy and Daddy would yell at him again.

"Hey Jazzy, I think there's someone in your closet."

Uh oh! Jazzy's friend found him and now Jazzy would call Daddy!

"Mommy! Danny's spying on me again!"

Oh no! Jazzy called Mommy! Mommy was worse than Daddy. Mommy would hit him and Daddy only yelled.

The closet door opened.

"Danny, you know you're not allowed to spy on your sister! Now, go to your room!"

Danny ran as fast as his two year old legs would carry him in hopes of making it to his room without making Mommy mad. But, he still wasn't fast enough. Mommy caught him and slapped his face.

"Danny, there are times when I wish we had put you up for adoption. You turned out so wrong. If only you had been a girl..."

That's all Mommy wanted? Mommy only wanted him to be a girl? That's why she was crying? Maybe if he acted like Jazzy and played with dollies, Mommy would stop crying.

"What's adopsen?" Danny asked.

Maddie went from crying and upset to furious. What gave Danny the right to ask about that? Why did she get stuck with such a slow child, such a slow boy.

"Go to your room and don't come out!" Maddie thundered and Danny scampered away in fear.

Danny sat alone in his room wondering what he did wrong. He remembered Mommy's words and walked over to his own closet. Taking a pair of scissors that Jazzy left in there, he cut off the ends of his pants. Now they looked like what Jazzy wore.

He heard a car door slam and smiled. Daddy was home! Rushing to change into his new clothes, he wondered if Daddy would get him a dolly like Jazzy had. That would make Mommy happy.

He ran out of his room to greet his Daddy, passing Jazzy's room along the way.

"I thought you said you had a brother." Jazzy's friend remarked.

"I do." Jazzy responded.

"Why's he wearing a dress? What a freak." Jazzy's friend said.

"Daddy! Can I get a dolly like Jazzy's?" Danny called.

Jack stared in shock at his son, but Maddie answered for him.

"Of course, honey. I'll take you to the store in a few hours."

Jack could only watch as Danny came home with a new doll and as Jazzy's friend left, he could have sworn he heard her whisper "freak".

Author's Note: Next chapter, Danny starts pre-school and finds out just how cruel kids can be.
