Author's Note: Another two year skip and then we'll go one year at a time for ages five, six and seven.
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
Danny stood at the entrance of the pre-school. Mommy bought him a new dress for starting school. He brought his dolls to play with and a book for the teachers to read.
"Come on, Danny."
Mommy took him by the hand and led him to his classroom. The teacher came out to greet them.
"Hello, my name is Ms. Mori and this must be Paulina."
"I'm not Paulina, I'm Danny."
"I'm sorry, Danny, I was expecting you to be a boy."
"I am a boy."
Ms. Mori's smile faded and she looked at Maddie.
"Mrs. Fenton, may I talk to you for a minute..."
Danny sat down and began playing with his doll.
"...I won't teach... not normal... fa... ker on your case..."
Finally, Mommy left and Ms. Mori turned her attention back to Danny.
"Danny, I want you to change into these." Ms. Mori held out a pair of jeans and a T shirt.
"But, Mommy just bought me this dress." Danny said.
"Danny, you will change into these or you will go home. I will not have your kind influence the normal children."
"I'm not normal?"
"Danny, boys don't wear dresses. Only gays do that and gays have such a negative effect on our culture as it is."
"What's a gay?"
"Gays are freaks of nature that should be killed on sight. They should not be allowed to corrupt innocent minds."
I am breaking the site rules here to tell you all that Ms. Mori's opinion on gays and lesbians is not my opinion. I support gay rights, including marriage. Once again, Ms. Mori's opinion on gays and lesbians is not my opinion.
Danny was still confused, but agreed to change into the clothes Ms. Mori gave him.
Ms. Mori also took his dolls and told him not to bring them back.
Later, Danny was playing in the sandbox when a few boys came up and knocked over his sand castle.
"Oops. Sorry." The blond boy said with no hint of remorse.
"Why did you do that?" Danny asked.
"Cause you're a freak. Everyone knows that boys don't wear dresses or play with dolls."
"I do and I'm a boy." Danny said, tears welling up in his eyes.
"You're not just a freak, you're a crybaby, too!" The blond boy laughed.
"Crybaby!"
Other kids who had seen this going on joined in.
"Freak!"
"Stupid!"
"Crybaby!"
The words struck like knives in Danny's heart. He started to cry and they started laughing.
"Crybaby!"
"Freak!"
"Stupid!"
Danny ran back inside. Ms. Mori would protect him!
"Danny, what are you doing in here?"
"They're being mean! They're calling me names like freak!" Danny sobbed.
"I'm sorry to say this, Danny, but if you hadn't dressed like a freak, they wouldn't be bothering you. Now go back outside."
Danny stared at his teacher before turning to go back outside.
I'll never wear a dress again! But if I don't wear dresses and play with dolls, Mommy won't love me anymore.
Author's Note: Before anyone flames me for being homophobic, I want to say that Ms. Mori's opinions in no way reflect mine. I needed a character able to singlehandedly destroy any sense of self-worth Danny got from dressing like a girl and playing with dolls. I also needed this character to appear before Danny starts Kindergarten. Finally, I needed the character to have enough power over Danny to do it quickly. The best way to do this was to use an extremely homophobic teacher or day care provider.
Enter Ms. Mori, the homophobic pre-school teacher who thinks all of the world's problems are the result of homosexuality.
Ms. Mori is the most disgusting character I've ever written. I completely disagree with everything she says and if I ever met her in real life, she'll be needing that forest* to hide from me.
My personal opinion on gay rights is that no one should have the right to ban, restrict, discriminate or otherwise treat gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transsexuals any different than you would treat a straight person. Some of my family members are gay and according to my state, their marriages don't exist. A couple hundred years ago, African-Americans had no rights and marriages between an African-American and a "white" person was considered wrong and states rendered such marriages null and void. In this supposedly enlightened day and age, the exact same thing is being applied to gay marriage.
End of rant and if you got this far, you get a cookie.
