Part two of the chapters I like to call Coming Clean.
Don't bother trying to read the rapid fire one word paragraph because near the end of the chapter I slow it down AKA separate the words.
Enjoy!
"Now, about that stuff you were muttering to yourself. Tell us about your family life." Dash said.
This conversation is going to be the death of me, thought Danny darkly.
"What are you, psychologists?" Asked Danny, really not wanting to talk about his personal issues. He crying himself to sleep in Jazz's arms was bad enough. Now, talking about his personal issues to his bullies? How'd that happen? Breathe, Fenton, breathe. "Fine." They wanted answers? They would get them. Rapid fire.
"MyparentsareghosthunteswhohuntmyghosthalfandignoremyhumanhalfI'malwaysinmysistersshadowbecauseshe'stheperfectchildandI'mnotsoIhaveahardlife,nottomentionthatIgetbeatuptschooandafterschoolbybulliesandmyenamiessoIcan'tstudyanddohomeworkwhilemyparents' 'sstillaroundI'llturnintohimItrappedhiminaFentonThermosandgaveittoClockworksohecouldguarditsonowhe'smyguardianbecausetheObservatntssaidheinfluencedmychoice."
Danny spoke so fast that all Dash and Kwan heard was a jumble of sounds. They were lucky they had recorded it and that Danny had not decided to speak rapid fire and in ghost. Then they would have to take the Ghost Gabber and replay it in slow motion. A lot more tedious than it sounds.
"Okay," Said Danny normally, as if he hadn't just spoken two paragraphs worth of words in one breath. "My turn. Why did you take so much sympathy on me when you thought my parents were beating me up?" He asked. Dash shook himself out of the daze. He was still wondering how anyone, ghost or not, could speak so fast and not be out of breath by the time they finished.
Danny had tapped into his powers, so he didn't need to breathe. Like when he spoke underwater, ghosts don't need air to speak, but since he's a halfa, he's different. He can chose not to breathe for several moments, like underwater. But at some point he'll need to breathe again. Full ghosts don't have that problem.
"Okay, things put simple, my mother left me and my father beats me up." Said Dash. "So since I used to think you have a perfect life, thinking you were beat up just like me made me feel guilty." Said Dash.
"Okay, questions answered, everything else, thank you for answering my questions, bye!" He phased invisibly through the floor and left with a fake happy go lucky smile. Since he had talked to the two peers he hated, he needed to talk to Jazz. Really looking forward to that, he thought glumly.
~~~~ Back to Dash (and a slowdown of what Danny said rapid fire)
"Okay, thank God we recorded this." Said Kwan, pulling out his phone. "Let's put Fenton's words in slow-motion so we can understand a third of what he said."
"I can't believe Fenton, uh, Phantom, Danny found a loophole." Now they started to play Danny's wildfire rant slow enough so they could understand.
"My parents are ghost hunters who hunt my ghost half and ignore my human half." They knew that much. "I'm always in my sister's shadow because she's the perfect child and I'm not so I have a hard life, not to mention that I get beat up before school and after school by bullies," Like them. "And my enemies so I can't study and do homework while my parents' inventions always mess me up one way or the other and I'm afraid of my evil future-self, Dan, who killed my friends and family plus Mr. Lancer in a Nasty Burger explosion which me and a ghost named Clockwork, master of time, stopped and he took me back to the CAT, which started the whole mess, I still have nightmares about it where he tells me that my time has been up for ten years and that since he's still around, I'll turn into him. I trapped him in a Fenton Thermos and gave it to Clockwork so he could guard it so now he's my guardian because the Observatnts said he influenced my choice."
The two made up their mind. They were going to the Ghost Zone to ask this Clockwork about Danny.
Yay! My favorite full ghost appears in the next chapter! We all love Clockwork!
And some questions will be answers calmly by the master of time.
Remember to review and tell me if you would like a sequel!
Until next time! :)
