Chapter 3: Telling the Parents
Jazz's POV:
My brother and I were walking home from Vlad's mansion when we saw our parents heading home as well. I looked over at Danny and I could tell that he was freaking out.
"Jazz, what am I going to do? I can't let mom and dad see me like this. I have to find a way in."
"Why don't you just fly in? They won't be able to hear you or see you when you come in. Did you ever think of that?" I looked at my brother who was still dressed as a girl at the time. He smiled at me and went to the nearby alley and flew off. For me, I just walked home. I was able to get home in 15 minutes. When I walked in, I noticed that mom was about to walk upstairs to check-up on Danny. Probably thinking that it takes some time to get all of the clothes, the suit, everything off, I went to my mom to stall her for a couple of minutes so that Danny can finish up.
"Hey, mom, what are you doing home so early? You said that you were going to be back by 8 PM, and it is 7 PM. Were you able to get all the shopping done?" I hoped that slowed her down for at least a couple of minutes.
"Yeah, I was able to. Oh, Jazz, good thing that I have you right there actually. Can you help me with making dinner? I plan on making meatloaf." I then remembered back to the last time that my mother made meatloaf. It was a week ago and it came alive and tried to eat dad. I shuddered at what she said.
"You know what, mom, why don't you let me make the meal. I was just going to go upstairs to check up on Danny anyways when I got back."
"Okay, sweetie. No problem at all." I was happy. Not only was I able to prevent my mom from going upstairs and discovering Danny's secret, I was the one making the dinner tonight. I do not need to eat any more ecto-plasmic filled food. I walked to Danny's bedroom and walked in.
Danny's POV:
I was just taking off the female second suit when my sister walked in.
"Hey Jazz, what's up?" I asked her. It was a good thing that I had the voice modulator off my neck when she came in.
"Two things. One, mom was about to discover your secret, and two, we are having meatloaf tonight." I then thought back to last week when my mom made meatloaf. I shuddered in terror.
"Don't worry. She is not making it; I am, so you are safe there as well." I sighed in relief. At least I know that the meatloaf won't attack me or dad like last time. I finished getting everything off with Jazz being the lookout. She turned around of course when it came to me putting on my boy clothes. Each and every time that I put on boy clothes, it felt weird. I looked in the mirror and noticed that the corset was doing its job. I was starting to develop an hourglass figure. I went to the drawer filled with the pads that I made and I put them on so that my mom or dad did not know.
"Alright, Jazz, I am done." Jazz turned around and saw me in my boy clothes. I had a frown on my face.
"Danny, I know that you do not like wearing those clothes, but just withstand it for a couple of weeks and when that is done, you will be able to move in with Vlad, your new dad, and you can wear all the girl clothes that you ever wanted. I smiled at her knowing that was true. I had to let my parents know and I thought that tonight is as a good of night as any. Jazz and I walked downstairs and there I saw our parents.
"So, Danny, what did you do while we were gone?" mom asked me.
"Watched some TV, played some music, and just hung out here all day. The usual." I hope that she bought that answer since that was the answer that I always gave her.
"Okay, well Jazz is making dinner apparently. Why don't you wait out in the living room until it is done?"
"Nah, I think that I will help her." I walked into the kitchen to help out my sister Jazz make dinner and she was showing me everything.
Maddie's POV:
I watched Danny help his sister make dinner while my husband, Jack, and I were out in the living room until it was finished. Lately, I noticed that Danny was starting to develop some weird behaviors. I just shoved it off. I had something to tell to everyone. Dinner was done in an hour and we all sat down to eat. I spoke up with what I heard today in town.
"So, everyone, I found out that Vlad Masters has a daughter. Can you believe it? I was caught off guard when I heard it." I saw Danny almost choke on his bite when I said that.
"Really mom? Wouldn't Vlad announce if did have a daughter at all? It does not sound like him at all."
"I know, but I saw her last week at the clothes store last week and saw her pick up some clothes. I overheard the cashier ask who her name was. All I heard was the last name of Masters and today, I overheard my friends today that they all saw her with you Jazz. So, Jazz, what is she like?" I saw that Jazz was somewhat clueless of what to say. Normally Jazz was able to say what a person was like.
"Well, let's see here mom. I know that she is smart, beautiful, and that she has a good sense of fashion. I wish I was able to get clothes like that. I was able to talk to her today and she said that she gets an average of $2,500 a month from Vlad. I followed her to Vlad's and saw how Vlad treated her. He really acts like a father. I was surprised when I saw it. She even calls Vlad dad." At least I was able to get an honest answer from Jazz.
"Danny, have you met her yet?" I asked Danny.
Danny's POV:
"Danny, have you met her yet?" my mom asked me. I was completely clueless on what to say to her. What was I to say? I just said the first thing that came to mind.
"Yeah, of course. I meet her each and every week. In fact, I can say that I know her very well." My mom looked at me suspiciously.
"What do you mean by that Danny?" Great. Now what was I to say to her? I thought of numerous things to say to her, but all of them ended up in me telling her the truth. I looked at Jazz and I saw her eyes. That is when I knew that she wanted me to tell her the truth. I took a large breath and I told her.
"Mom, I am Vlad Masters daughter, River Masters." My mom looked at me thinking that I was crazy.
"Danny, don't be crazy. River is a girl and you are a boy."
"I am telling you the truth. I will show you then. Jazz, can you please come upstairs and help me?"
"Sure Danny." I got up from the table and went to my room. My sister followed me. As soon as the both of us arrived in my room, I closed the door so that I can get ready. I took out the box that was underneath my bed and got everything out. What I did not know was that Vlad was watching from above.
Vlad's POV:
I decided to follow Danny when he left my mansion. I watched what he did to see if he was going to tell his parents. That is when I saw Danny get the box that no doubt had the stuff that made him look like a female. I marveled at the suit that he made. It looked so realistic. I looked away as he was putting it on. After 10 minutes, I thought that it was safe to look back and when I did, I noticed two things. Jazz was there helping him getting changed and that she know had clothes on. It was a good thing that I did turn around. I waited for the perfect moment to zap Danny with my latest invention, but I thought not yet. He still had to tell his friends.
Danny's POV:
I walked down the stairs completely dressed up in my female attire and I heard a gasp come from my mom. I could tell that she was surprised.
"Danny, just what the hell do you think that you are doing?" That was the first time that I heard my mom swear.
"What I am doing mom," I said with the voice modulator on," is being my true self. I do not want to be a boy."
"Get the suit off right now, young man. I will not tolerate you doing this at all. It is sick and wrong. How dare you?" I was mad when she said that. That is when I flipped out and started to yell back at my mother.
"How dare I? How dare I? The reason why I dress like this is because this is how I really feel. I feel more like a female than I do a male. I made this suit myself when I was 11. It took me some time to make it, but I was able to do it. This voice modulator," I pointed at my neck," allows me to have an angelic voice of a girl. I like dressing like this. I want to be a girl, mom, and if you do not accept that, then I will just leave."
"Danny Fenton, get upstairs now and take that shit off." That was the second time that I heard her swear. I could tell that she has something against me like this.
"No I won't. I am going to wear this and you are not going to stop me at all." I went to the front door and just walked out. I did not pay attention at all when I heard Vlad from right behind me.
"I am sorry my dear about what just happened." I quickly turned around and saw Vlad. As soon as I saw him, I hugged him. When I told him the truth, he did not abandon me at all. He stayed by my side. Same with Jazz.
"Thanks, dad. You care more about me than they do. I am one step closer of coming to live with you. I just have one more thing to do."
"What is that, River?" I smiled each and every time that Vlad, dad, called me that.
"I have to tell my friends next," I said while still hugging Vlad.
"Well then, let's not dilly dally. Go and tell them now." I just smiled and hugged dad tighter. I felt him hug me tighter as well. I just smiled. All of a sudden, he picked me up.
"Uh, dad, I think that I can walk from here," I said with a giggle.
"I know. I just wanted to do that."
