The school day went smoothly, no surprises at all, and now it was lunch time and Danny was heading to the cafeteria.- Hey Danny!- Danny heard someone yell his name.

-What's up Tuck?-

-Nothing much man, I heard you broke up with Sam.-

- Actually, she broke up with me.- Danny explained as they entered the cafeteria.

- Aren't you angry or sad?- as they took their trays.

- Well, I'm sad but not angry, it just didn't work man, she and I are such a good friends, best friends actually, that being a couple didn't work, just like Joey and Rachel in "FRIENDS" and we're still best friends- Danny explained his friend as they served their meals.

- Wow Danny! It's so cool man. Uhm, there's something I have to tell you.- as they took their seats in the usual table.

- What is it Tuck?-

-Well, the thing is… the thing is that I like, like Sam, I really like her and…-

-Tucker, if you want to ask her out, just do it, you don't have to ask me for anything, not my permission or my blessing, she's not my girlfriend anymore. But, at least wait a week - Danny explained his friend.

-Jeez, that's what she said yesterday.-

-Uh? Yesterday? Is that Sam cheated on me with you before breaking up with me?-

- No, no, no, no, no- Tucker answered shaking his head from side to side.- I confessed her my feelings a while ago, but she said that she was with you, and she wouldn't cheat on you.- Tucker explained- That broke my heart, but she was right, besides, you are my friend too, and I wouldn't betray you, ever.-

- Mmm… Ok Tuck. I believe you, but why didn't you tell me earlier? As you are my friend, I am your friend too, it's not a one-side way.-

- I know; it's just that I felt that you would see it as a betrayal and get angry with me and Sam.-

- Well… you're right, that could have happened, but not anymore, everything is ok Tuck, but, please, at least wait a week to ask her out.-

- Who are you going to ask out?- Sam asked as taking her seat with her friends.

- To you, Tuck wants to ask you out, but I asked him to wait a week.- Danny explained her. Sam had her eyes wide open after hearing that.

-Did you tell him?- She asked Tucker, getting angry.

- Yes he told me that he likes you, a lot, that he confessed to you and you rejected him 'cause you were with me, and that you told him to wait a week after breaking up with me.- Danny explained calmly.- You don't have to get angry Sam, our relationship ended well, we're still friends.-

- Yes you're right Danny, but…-

- Hey Fentoad!- Dash called as he approached Danny's table.

- Dash, nicknames are a kind of bullying, first and last warning ok?- Danny told him looking at him in the eyes.

- Ok, ok, sorry Fen… gulp… Fenton.-

- That's better, what do you want Dash?-

- I want to know if it's possible to study Chemistry today, you know why and how much I need to pass.-

- Mmm… ok Dash, is it ok after school, in the library?- Danny asked him, by this moment, Sam and Tucker had weird looks in their eyes that went from Danny to Dash and back.

- No I have football practice after classes. Can we… sigh Can we meet at your house?-

- Mmm… ok, before or after dinner? 'cause I can invite you to dinner if you want.-

- Well… I think I don't have many options, so I'll be there for dinner "thank you very much".- Dash answered saying the last part in a derogatory tone.

- Well… "You're welcome Dash"- Danny said in the same derogatory tone as Dash went away.

- What was all that?- Tucker asked.

- Well, as he and I are lab partners, he asked me for studying sessions to help him pass every test, so he can still playing in the football team. And as payment, he, and his friends, won't bully me or any of my friends for the semester.-

- That explains why no one has bullied me today.- Tucker exclaimed.

- Yep, and that won't change for the semester, because my term was that if he or anyone of his friends bully me, or anyone of my friends, the deal is off.-

- Wow dude! You got yourself a deal for all of us, thank you.-

- You're welcome Tuck, now we have to go, we have classes.-

The day went smoothly, except for the box ghost attack, but, come on, it was the box ghost; Danny defeated him in 10 seconds flat and went back to classes, his last class was P.E., until the day was over.

RRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!

- Well, that was all for today kids, go to showers, see you next class.- The teacher said dismissing the class.

- Uf! That woman is a rock, she didn't even sweat in the whole class.- Daniela expressed herself.

- Yes, that's why she is the P.E. teacher.- Danny responded as he was heading to the showers.- Uh!-

- What's wrong?-

-I… I don't want to take a shower in front of the other guys.-

- Really Danny? Really? Danny, you're a girl in a boy's body, we both know that, but still, A BOY'S BODY, you don't have to worry about anything.-

- But there are mirrors.-

-So? They won't see YOU, they'll see your boy's body.-

- Are you sure? Isn't it a way for them to see ME?-

- Nop, as long as you don't focus your energy in your girls body, no one will see YOU.-

- Fine.- Danny entered the showers and undressed, but, even with Daniela's advice, he felt exposed, he tried to cover himself a little- Danny, you're acting "strange" for a boy, stop it before someone notices.-

-Fine! It's just that… well you said it, I'm a girl in a boy's body, but, a girl, that's how I feel, and right now, I'm exposed, It doesn't matter if it's a boy's body.- Danny explained feeling strange surrounded by all those boys while getting into the shower.

- I know Danny, I know, but if someone notices you're acting like a girl already, you'll get in troubles.-

- Mmm…- Danny took his shower, struggling a little every time he saw a guy passing by. When he finished, he looked around to see if there's someone there yet. When he felt safe he sighed in relief and got out to the lockers to get dressed. He took glances once in a while to check himself in the mirror, just to look at "her" pretty face.- I'm such a pretty girl in the mirror, hihi.- he said giggling. He got dressed, went out of the lockers room and out of the school heading home. He passed by the football field and saw the football team training; they were doing push-ups while the coach yelled at them.- Crap! I forgot to tell mom than Dash is coming to my house later.- Danny exclaimed as he pulled his cellphone to call home.- Mom? Hi… yes I'm fine, listen, I invited my lab class partner to study and for dinner, is that ok?... Thank you mom; I'm sorry for telling you with such a short time… No, he's a boy… because Mrs. Sanders decided to mix the class and changed all the lab partners… Well, he's Dash Baxter… Yes, the bully… don't worry, I made a deal with him… Yeah, ok mom, see you at home… yes, bye.- Danny hung up the cellphone-Sigh, my mommy, I love her, and I know she loves me but, how is she going to react when my true self come out?- Danny wondered while walking home.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

-I'm home!- Danny exclaimed as he passed the front door.

-Hi sweetie! Dinner is almost ready, when is your friend coming?- Maddie asked from the kitchen.

- Mom, he's NOT my friend, he's just my lab partner, and he needs my help so he can keep playing football.- Danny explained.

- Ok, ok, I'm sorry, so, when is he coming?-

DING DONG.

- I think that right now mom.- Danny answered as he went to open the front door.

- Hi Dash.-

-Yes, yes, yes, hi, hi, hi, let me get in before someone sees me.- Dash said kind of desperately.

- Ok, ok, geez, come on in.- Danny said as he stepped away to let Dash in. Dash stepped in really quickly and shut the door behind him.

- Ok. Let's make this quick. I don't want to be here more than needed.-

- Good day young man, welcome to MY HOUSE, I hope you feel comfortable, dinner will be ready in about 10 minutes, so you can wait here in the living room with my son. You can do your homework after dinner, ok?- Maddie said with a threatening tone to Dash from behind him with her arms crossed. Dash gulped and turned around slowly, very slowly, as Maddie's tone froze him in his place. Danny was suppressing his laugh; he had never, ever seen Dash so scared.

- Yes… gulp… Yes Mrs. Fenton, thank… thank you for the welcoming hehe, you… you have such a pretty house, hehe.- Dash said terrified, only his own mother had this effect on him, but worse, because she was HIS mom, and this woman was someone else's mom, but even so, this woman IS a mom.

- Very well then, have fun you two, I'll call you when dinner is ready. Oh, and young man, you can't use your cellphone or any kind of tech item during dinner, if you want to express anything, you have to talk, oh, and no profanities, ok?- Maddie said in the same threatening tone.

- Yes… yes Mrs. Fenton.- Dash said, feeling about to shit himself. Maddie left the living room and went to the kitchen.

- What the hell…?-

-Shush, no profanities, seriously- Danny said raising his hands in front of Dash.

- Really?- Dash asked and Danny nodded.- Ok, wow, your mom is a serious business Fenton. Danny nodded.- What's that thing about the cellphone?- Dash asked.

- She doesn't want us to lose contact with each other because we're using the cellphone in anything, as we're at home, because someday, Jazz and I will leave, and we still are going to lose contact with mom and dad, so, as long as we're here, we have to talk with each other about our day or anything, at least in dinner.- Danny explained.

-Oh! Actually, that's a good idea! I'll propose it at home when I get back. I'll call home so they know I'm here.- Dash said as he pulled his phone and dialed his home number. Danny sat down at the couch, looking at Dash.

- Yes mom, I'll be back home before curfew, I promise… Yes I'll behave… No, I won't be rude… Yes, ok… Well, I need to pass this class or I won't be able to play football… Yes mom… Good bye… Don't make me say it… Mom, please… Sigh… I love you mommy… good bye mommy.- Dash hung up. Danny was suppressing his laugh, failing badly, and when Dash noticed it he sent a threatening look at him and Danny was very successful in suppressing his laugh.- If you tell anyone about this Fenton, I swear…-

- Don't worry Dash, I won't, I love my MOMMY too, jeje.-

-Shut up!- Dash exclaimed and sat down in the couch, as far away from Danny as possible.

- I'm home.- Jazz yelled as she got in the house.- Danny I found something that might help yo… What are you doing here Baxter?- Jazz asked angrily, crossing her arms when she noticed Dash's presence.

- He's my new lab partner in Chemistry, and needs help to pass the class so he can still play football- Danny explained.

- Oh! Well, fine… but if you try to do something bad at Danny, I'll swear Baxter that your mother will cry when she knows what I did to you, Capici?- Jazz threatened.

- Yes…, yes, ok.- Dash answered, feeling really threatened by Jazz.- My god! She's like her mom!- Dash thought to himself.

- Dinner's ready!- Maddie yelled from the kitchen.

- Everyone went to the kitchen and seated on a chair in front of the table. Maddie served the meatloaf tray in the center of the table.

- Wow, meatloaf, I love meatloaf!- Dash expressed trying to serve himself a plate, but Maddie slapped his hand and Dash retreated looking awestruck.- No one serves until everyone is seated, and my husband hasn't come.- Maddie explained Dash.

- MEATLOAF!- Jack yelled from the lab and went to the table as fast as a lightning. Not noticing Dash.

- Ok, now that everyone is here…- Maddie started.

-Who's this?- Jack interrupted, finally noticing Dash.

- He's Danny's Chemistry lab partner, and is here for a study session.- Maddie explained.

- I see, mmm… Aren't you the one my daughter likes?- Jack asked looking angry.

- DAAAD! He is not. He's Danny's Chemistry lab partner! That's all!- Jazz yelled blushing madly. Dash blushed too.

- Ok, ok, I'm just asking. Sorry- Jack apologized as he was serving himself a big plate of meatloaf.

- So, how was your day Jazz?- Maddie asked, starting the family dinner and serving meatloaf to everyone.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After dinner, Jack and Maddie went back to the lab, Jazz was washing the dishes, as it was her turn, and Danny and Dash were on the table studying the next experiment.

- So, the sulfuric acid, will react with the phenolphthalein, but if it gets green, it's because it reacted with some sort of metal, and that way it won't be useful for the experiment.- Dash said, looking confused.- Yes, that's right, and be careful with the sulfuric acid, is really dangerous, don't, and I repeat, DON'T swallow it or let it touch your skin or eyes, I mean it Dash, that thing has a very exothermic reaction, it's dangerous ok?- Danny explained.

- Yes ok, I get it, I think, but what does exothermic means?- Dash asked. Jazz suppressed a laugh and face palmed mentally at the jock ignorance.

- Sigh, it means that it releases a lot of heat when it reacts. If you let a drop of sulfuric acid fall over a paper napkin, you will see how the napkin kind of burns, without a flame, and you'll see burn marks over it, and if you touch the napkin, you'll feel it hot.- Danny explained. - Ok, I think I get it now, thank you Fenton.- Dash said a little excited.

- Guys, I'm going to the bathroom ok? If mom asks, tell her that I finished the dishes already ok?- Jazz told the boys.

- Yes Jazz, don't worry.- Danny told his sister as she headed to the bathroom.

- Speaking of it, may I use your bathroom when she comes out? I really need it.- Dash asked.

- Yes, you can, but you don't have to wait, there's another bathroom in the second floor, you can use that, it's the second door to the right, after my sister's room, and don't get bad ideas Dash, she always locks her room.- Danny explained.

- Ok, thanks, I'll go now, I really need it.- Dash said as he headed to the stairs.

- He's cute, when he's not trying to chop your head off.- Daniela commented.

- Yes, you're right.- Danny said without thinking.- Uh! NO WAY! YOU'RE WRONG! HE'S A JERK AND A BULLY! AND HE IS NOT CUTE AT ALL!- Danny yelled to her (in his head).

- OH MY GOD!- Dash's voice was heard from above.

- Uh? What do you think happened to him?-

- I don't know, maybe he saw a ghost, jeje.- Danny commented laughing, because in this city, that can happen for real.

- Well, let's go to see what's wrong with him.-

- Yes, you're right, let's go.- Danny went upstairs looking for Dash, but when he was on the second floor he froze in his place, the door of his room was open.

- Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! No, no, no, NO!- Danny thought very desperately. He entered his room, and there was Dash, and that wasn't a big problem, the real problem is that he was holding and looking Danny's nightgown.

-Uh! Dash?- Danny asked.

- You really are a weirdo Fenton!- Dash exclaimed looking at him.
