When Donald saw his reflection instead of him just long hair he was a female. Donald flinched when he saw his reflection he also felt many emotions as well. After calming himself down a bit he fixed his hair and went to look for his boys luckily the machine not only changed him into a female it also lower down his luck a bit and with that he was thankful for. When he found them they talk for a while and got things settle down. After that they managed to get a family meet started and that was when they were going to tell everyone what happened. Everyone was waiting to know what was the reason for this meeting and why wasn't Donald with them. "Oh. It's that young lass that I saw earlier" Scrooge thought when he noticed Donald was standing next to the triplets and have some sort of a conversation, "Hi everyone and thank you for coming for this meeting" said one of the triplets then another one spoke "Yes. We have something we wanted to talk about but promise that you won't get mad." Everyone said yes thinking that it was probably not that bad. "So something happened to uncle Donald that might have been my fault" said Dewey while fidgeting his fingers a bit but no one paid focus to. "All we want you to know is..." Said one of the triplets and bring a young female besides him. "That she is our uncle Donald now" he said while have a bit of a nervous look. Everyone had a surprise or shock look on their faces while Webby has a bit of the same look that she had back at Castle McDuck. Dewey was the first to explain what happened then Huey join and Louie just watched all of it unravel. After the meeting Scrooge left to talk to Gyro if he could help fix this.
Donald continue working on the houseboat and tried to keep his day going on like nothing happened but it was too big of a change to not notice. Then he hear his uncle's voice calling everyone to come to him at once as asked they did. They saw Gyro Gearloose standing aside him with a serious look on his face. Everyone was quiet and waited for an answer. Scrooge was first to talk "Gyro here has something about Donald's state and wants all of us to hear" Gyro next spoke "Well Mr. Mcduck and others I think that I found out something about your nephew's state. It might be permanent" everyone responded with a "What!". No one expected it to be permanent and with that Gyro left shortly. "So since it permanent what will we call you?" Said a voice "I think it should be Donella since it is after all the female version of the name Donald" said another voice "I think since I got Uncle Donald into this mess she should pick her own name" said Dewey. Donald was too busy thinking about what was going on and agreed on the name. They all agreed on calling all of Donald's friends to come to the mansion also the whole family to come too. After calling everyone, they helped get the mansion ready then the triplets and Webby help Donald get ready everyone in the mansion was busy with something. When everything was done, Donald looked very calm but was actually freaking out in the inside, she didn't know how would everyone else react. Everyone was chatting with each other happily for them they were glad to see eachother again then the time had come for Donald to let everyone know about the news.
The triplets finally made the room completely silent and brought Donald right next to them. They said told everyone what happened, how Donald it affected and how it was permanent. Everyone had similar reaction to how everyone in the mansion reacted to the news luckily they very understanding to Donald even though to some it felt weird calling Donald by a different name but let it be either way. They were all happy that Donald didn't get hurt during the process, it didn't turn out as Donald expected it to go, he also was able to catch up with everyone and for everyone the day was a success. By the end of the day Donald Duck as we know became known as Donella Duck.
