Cracked Reflections
: Putting the Mirror back together
mistressKC – wanteddeadoralive- Not necessarily to arouse suspicion. It's just when I first introduced him on the DPMB, everyone immediate reacted with "Nice Jock-he must be up to no good."
Ryune – Sorry for the shortness. I actually cut out part of the last chapter and stuck it in this one. Don't worry, Trip's true identity/intentions will be revealed in a few chapters #looks on a a winged Ryoga flies over head.#
Hunter 1 – wasn't intending for that to happen. Maybe in a sequel. And yeah, Ranma's not easy to get your hands on these days. Best of luck with whatever you can find
Kraven the Hunter – Dash? Wasn't intending for him to get cursed. Besides I see him as more of a Blue Jay.
Nunofyorbiz – Nope, the original Aquatransexual won't be in his one. Sorry
Unlikely-to-bear-it – yah know, when I first thought of this, I never intended for a Sam/Trip pairing (Especially since Trip's evolved from his earlier purpose). Now I'm starting to like it O.o. And yeah, Dash should stop grabbing boy's who may be girl and poking them in inappropriate places.
anthony Bennett- It WOULD be funny, but I wanna keep the original Ranma characters outta this. I love them to death but poor Danny has enough on his plate without the NWC. And personally I think if Danny did use his powers on dash, he wouldn't need any new techniques, the ones he's got would work fine. And he has no reason to hide his powers from Dash anymore Hmmmm stews on this
Dannysgf08 - . Glad you like
edward-tivrusky-5 – Thanks. Other people smiling always makes my day. And I tried for a nice blend of Hartman and Takahashi. And as for the dream…You know what? I'm gonna Treasure that mental image for all eternity . laughs
$Scene Change$
"And that was a gorgeous trip down the catwalk for Vivian LeCheroe. Up next is the crème de la crème in our fashion line-up, Teenage supermodel, Danielle Fenton."
Danny walked down the catwalk, her medium length hair loose, save for a small pseudo ponytail on the left side of her head. She was dressed in a tight fitting silk evening gown that easily showed off her impressive figure. 'Ooo's' from the crowd and flashes from the photographers lit up her world as she made a graceful turn on the catwalk, letting everyone there know why she graced the covers of more fashion and beauty magazines then any other models in existence.
Suddenly a voice rang out "Beware!"
Fans, fashion critics, and photographers fled in terror as the box ghost wreck his mediocre havoc.
"My Fashion Show!! I'm going ghost!" declared Danny, changing into her alter ego.
"Look!" Someone cried "It's Dani Phantom!"
Dani grinned; her super persona was on as many comic book covers as her human form was on fashion magazines.
A few punches and ectoblasts later, the box ghost was flying through the Lower Earth Orbit.
"Excuse me, ghost girl" Dani whirled around to face Skulker, only to find him holding a bouquet of flowers "Would you care to go out with me."
She sighed, when would he get the hint she didn't like him? And why was he Beeping?

"YAHHHH!" Danny shot straight up in his bed, the alarm going off in his ear.
"Move it, or we'll be late for school" Yelled Jazz from the hall.
"Phew. I gotta stop eating Dad's cooking before I go to bed.

Danny tried everything to get out of going to school, but short of admitting to being half ghost, it wasn't going to work.
"You okay Danny?" asked Tucker. "You look like you haven't had a wink of sleep."
"Just some bad dreams. Nothing major." Danny answered.
He had barely gotten through the door when Dash grabbed him. "Ready for show time, Fenton?" he whispered evilly.
Danny prayed that whatever god looked over half-dead superheroes would grant him a reprieve. And oddly enough, someone seemed to be listening…
"Put down that boy, Baxter" barked Mr. Lancer.
Dash was so surprised, he dropped Danny. As the best football player in the school, he was usually exempt from rules and was given a pretty free rein. The thought that anyone, even a teacher, would tell him what to do, much less tell him to stop picking on a geek was…foreign.
Lancer grabbed him painfully by the shoulder. "Did you think we wouldn't find out Baxter? Steroids and Narcotics all stored nicely in your locker."
Dash's eyes widened. Everyone in the hallway began to whisper "Wha..."
Lancers eyes narrowed. "Crime and Punishment, no more of your lie, Baxter. You are expelled."
"No, it was Fenton. He set me up. It had to be him. He used his ghost powers to plant the stuff there... and he turns into a girl..."
Everyone laughed. Lancer began to drag Dash back to the office. Dash's eyes scanned the crowd. Those who once feared and loved him now laughed and mocked him. Suddenly his eyes met Trips. When he saw the smug glare he knew. It wasn't Danny that had framed him, the little loser didn't have the guts. It was…
"You..." Dash cried, lunging at his former teammate. He stopped dead when Trip's eyes began to glow red. Suddenly everything except Trip and himself turned grey and froze.
"What are you" gasped Dash.
"More than you can ever imagine." Trip smirked, exposing sharp fangs. His hands clenched and unclenched, becoming claws. "I hate bullies. I was going to tolerate you, until you threatened to expose the halfa's secret. You have no idea what's going on, nor what your meddling would have cost. To the living or the dead."
Dash balled up his fists. He wasn't going down without a fight.
"Don't even try it. I could rip you apart in an instant. Be grateful I'm merely removing you from the picture." Before Dash's eyes, Trip changed.
Oh my god, he's not human
Then in a flash the scene was back to normal, except for Dash curled up and screaming about monsters.
Several people shook there heads, muttering about drug addicts and walked away.

"Coach is making us stay after for football practice. So can we reschedule that movie for Saturday?"
"No problem, I'll tell Sam and Tucker" in the week they had known him, Trip had become one of the gang. He hung out with them, despite the protests of the football team. He ate lunch with them every day. They hadn't told him either of Danny's secrets, though.
Yet.

"Turfwich day?" asked Trip in disbelief
"Yup" said Sam proudly.
"I admire the spirit of the vegetarian, but isn't his a little...weird. I mean salads I get, but this?"
'That's why I brown bag it. I don't trust the cafeteria after what happened the first time Sam tried changing the menu" Tucker put in
"What happened?" asked Trip
"Uh, Tuckers a meat fanatic, he just didn't like the all vegetarian thing" explained Danny quickly.
They sat down at their usual table and began to eat their lunches, at least Tucker, Sam and Danny (who also had the sense to bring his own) did. Trip just poked at the turfwich.
"Um, Danny? There's something I've been meaning to ask you. Alone" he asked nervously.
"Anything you want to ask me, you can do it in front of Sam and Tucker". Danny was confused. Trip never acted like this.
"Okay, you know the day they expelled Dash and he said you turned into a girl." Trip took a deep breath, not looking happy about what he was about to say. "Was he referring to a Jusenkyo curse?"
Danny froze. So did Sam and Tucker.
"How did you know!" asked Danny finally hope and fear mixing in his voice.
"My parent travel a lot." answered Trip, sounding relieved to be right. "A while back we went to China and I visited the Jusenkyo valley. I fell in" he blushed. "Spring of the drowned Pink Rabbit"
"No way man, I've seen you wet, and you never turned into a pink rabbit."
"I know, there's a cure." Trip leaned in, "Meet me at my house around five"

"This is too easy. I think it's a trap." said Tucker
"Trip wouldn't do that to us." protested Sam.
"Well you guys are here to make sure of that" stated Danny, also a little nervous at how easily this had happened.
The garage door opened. Trip was standing inside. "Hurry guys, I want this done before my parent get home." He pulled a red stone out of his pocket. "Touching this stone will cure you, but I warn you, it isn't exactly pleasant"
"I don't care, so long as I go back to being (relativly) normal" Danny reached out and grabbed to stone.
And screamed as a burning sensation flooded his body, the stone glowing red. Gah, this is worse than in the portal…
"I warned you it hurts. Next it'll feel like you're shaking apart..."
Danny began to vibrate like his own personal earthquake was going on inside him.
"Hated that part" comment Trip casually.
Tucker and Sam looked at each other nervously. Should they stop this?
Suddenly Danny screamed and the shaking stopped. There was a flash and Danny was beside himself. Herself?
To the right was the Danny they knew and loved, to the left was the female version, seemingly made out of water. She looked at the male Danny in shock the splashed to the floor, becoming nothing more than a stain on the cement.
"Is...is it over?" asked Danny weakly.
"One way to find out" Trip upended a cup of cold water over his head.
It was cold, but there was no strange tingling. He felt his chest. Flat. He turned around and looked down his pants
"I'M A GUY!" he yelled, doing a little victory dance.
"Way to go Trip!" said Sam, giving the football player a little hug.
"Come on guys, victory dinner. Nasty burger, on me!" said Danny, leading the way. Trip stopped to close his garage door and followed, happy to have helped his friend.
Five minutes later the garage door opened. In walked a beautiful woman.
"My thanks to you Trip. For trying to help the halfa, you've led him straight into my trap."
Jyu Sen Kyo held her hand over the puddle that was Danny's cursed form, and it began to glow.
