My true self

by MFMG

Danny discovers something frightening, but good about himself, meanwhile, someone, somewhere, makes a discovery that will change the world forever. I don't own Danny Phantom, or anything I'm going to use in this story for that matter. WARNING: Gender bending and explicit sex. (Corrected version, working on the sequel right now).

15. Explanation again

AUTHOR'S NOTE: THE LAST CHAPTER I FORGOT TO TELL YOU THAT THESE THINGS ABOUT THE MARS AND VENUS PODS, CLINICS ACTUALLY, WERE CREATED BY A TRANSGENDER FICS WRITER CALLED "JOLENE MIDDLETON". SAID CLINICS WORK IN THE SAME WAY AS "THESE PODS". THE PATIENTS CAN GO TO THE CLINIC TO ENHANCE ANY MALE OR FEMALE ATTRIBUTE THAT THE PATIENT WANTS, EVEN THE GENDER CHANGE IS AVAILABLE. MOST OF THE FICS ARE FROM MALE TO FEMALE, AND THE MAIN CHARACTER IS HAPPY WITH HER LIFE, AS SHE'S ALREADY PREGNANT, OR ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH, OR ALREADY HAS A FAMILY AND ENJOYS HER LIFE AS A WOMAN (INCLUDING THE SEXUAL ASPECTS, AS MOST OF THE FICS CONTAIN EXPLICIT SEX). SHE DOESN'T FORGET HER PREVIOUS LIFE AS A MAN, BUT SHE DOESN'T REGRET HER DECISIONS IN HER LIFE.

Jack and Maddie were shaking now for what their son has said; and expecting what he's going to say something worst.

- It will be easier if I show you. Going ghost!- Danny transformed in Danny Phantom. Jack and Maddie were speechless.

- Danny… my boy… You are… are you… the… the…- Jack muttered.

- YOU ARE THE GHOST BOY!- Maddie yelled pointing at Danny.

- Yes mom, I'm Danny Phantom, the ghost boy, and I'm not your enemy, I'm not any human enemy. I'm just trying to use my powers to stop other ghosts from hurting people.-

Maddie was crying freely now.- Why? Why didn't you tell us before? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US BEFORE WE ATTACKED YOU?-

- I… I don't know. I was afraid. Afraid of you hating me as you hate ghosts. Afraid that you disown me as your son… Afraid of you wanting to dissect me, or destroy me molecule by molecule, as dad says. I'm sorry mom, I'm really sorry, I didn't know what to do, I'm really sorry mom!- Danny was crying too.

Jack didn't say a thing, instead, he went directly to his son and hugged him tightly.- No! I'm the one who's sorry son! I didn't know, I just thought that the ghost boy was just another ghost who wanted to create havoc and chaos wherever he went. I'm really sorry Danny.- He said sobbing. Before Jack released Danny, Maddie and Jazz joined the hug. They didn't care that Dash was there, looking at them silently, he was heading to the main door.

- Hey you!- Jack said finally breaking the family hug. Dash turned slowly to face Jack.

- Yes Mr. Fenton?- Dash asked.

- Did you know about this?-

- Yes I did know, but just from yesterday. His friends Sam and Tucker knew since the beginning, and she knew it too.- Dash defended himself and pointed to Jazz.

- WHAT? Did you know it Jasmine?- Both parents yelled angrily at their daughter. Jazz looked at Dash with a "you're going to pay for that" look and turned to her parents.- Well… Uhm… Yes, I knew it, but Danny didn't tell me, I discovered by myself, and as he didn't tell anyone, because it was HIS secret, I didn't tell anyone either.- Jazz explained. Dash used this chance to leave the house.- This is a family moment and my presence isn't needed.- he thought.

- Mmm… Ok, you're right about it Jazz.- Maddie agreed with her daughter and turned to Danny again.- Oh dear! I'm so, so sorry Danny. Please forgive me and your father, please forgive us.-

- I already did it mom.- Danny said and hugged her again. Maddie was crying and Jack was silent, patting his son's head. After a few minutes they calmed.

- But, how did it happen?- Jack asked, and Danny explained everything with the ghost portal accident and what has happened since then, every battle, every enemy, every power.

- Wow, that's pretty amazing Danny.- Jack exclaimed very proud of his son.- You've been through so much and you've handle it like a man. I'm so proud of you.-

- Thank you dad, but the thing is…- And now Danny explained what has been happening to him the last six months, the dreams, Daniela, the reflection in the mirror, everything. Both parents were very silent, thinking deeply and assuming what Danny was telling them.

-…and I've just understood what I am, who I am and who I must be if I want to be happy.- Danny finished.

- Are… are you sure dear? Are you sure you are…ahm… like that?- Maddie asked.

- Yes mom, pretty sure, I'm a girl in a boy's body. And now that there's a chance to make me the girl I am, I want to try it.- Danny said confidently.

- Ahm… Danny, aren't you forgetting something?- Jazz interrupted.

- What is it Jazz?-

- Well, you're forgetting that is Vlad Masters, one of your worst enemies.-

- WHAT? What do you mean?- Both parents asked yelling.

- Well… Vlad is like Danny, he has ghost powers too, he's that ghost who attacked us in your school reunion at Wisconsin.- Jazz explained.

- WHHAAATTT?- Both parents yelled again.

- As you heard, and he's been trying to take you mom, because he's madly, really madly in love with you and make Danny his protégé, and he hates you dad, because you "stole" mom's love from him.

- That bastard! How could I think of him as my best friend?- Jack was beyond anger.

- Yes, but he said that he wanted to make up for the bad things he's done in the past. Maybe that was what he was referring to. And besides, it's my only chance to become a real girl.- Danny explained.

- Danny, honey, I know what you mean, but after what Jazz has told us, there's no way we'll agree with you going to his lab, to perform an unperfected procedure in yourself, with all the variables and things that could go wrong in the process, for a tiny chance for you to be happy. If something goes wrong, the procedure could let you in a stage between male and female, or worst, it could kill you. I won't be able to live if one of my beloved kids is not here.- Maddie said with fear for her son.

- Besides, there's no way I'm going to accept that Danny. You're a boy, YOU'RE MY BOY! I'm not going to let you become a girl. There's no way I'll accept that.- Jack said sternly with his arms crossed. Everyone turned to him with their eyes wide open.

- But… but dad. I'm a…- Danny started, his voice trembling.

- YOU ARE A BOY! I'm putting my foot down with this Danny. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO THAT LAB! NOT FOR THAT PROCEDURE!- Jack said in the same tone, arms crossed, looking straight at Danny's eyes.

With this, Danny left running to his room, crying and when he got in, he slammed the door to close it.

- Very well done dad, very well done.- Jazz said and she headed to Danny's room to console him.

There, in the living room stayed Jack and Maddie Fenton, looking at each other, both angry with arms crossed.

- What?- Jack asked finally, after like 5 minutes.

- I don't like it either Jack, but is for his happiness, he deserves to be happy, just like everyone else, even more for what he's been doing for us, for all, for Amity Park itself.- Maddie reasoned with her husband.

- There's no way I'm going to lose my son Maddie, besides you said it yourself, after what that bastard of Vlad has done, we can't let Danny goes there. It's dangerous for him, no matter if it's for his happiness.

- Yes, I know, but maybe it's true that Vlad wants to redeem himself for everything he's done. Maybe he has changed for the better. What if you and I go to talk to him, we tell him everything we know so far, and let him explain himself. And if he convinces us, we can let D…-

- We can let him have forgiveness and move on, but it won't be the same, ever.- Jack interrupted her.

- Well, yes, and we can give him our consent to…-

- to NOTHING Maddie. I'm not going to give my consent for THAT!- Jack yelled angrily.

- Fine, then Danny could run away with his ghost powers, or overshadow you to give your consent, or wait to be legal and perform the procedure on him anyway, when the procedure is finally perfected. Every way you look at it, you lose Jack, and Danny will be resentful to you, so you'll lose even more. THAT'S the way to lose your son… forever! Instead of gaining another beautiful daughter.- Maddie said confidently, looking straight at Jack's eyes. He said nothing for a while until dinner time.

Meanwhile in Danny's room.

Danny was crying without a care in the world.- It's not fair! I'm a girl!.- He said between sobs and tears.

- I know, I'm sorry Danny, I didn't expect that from dad.- Daniela said.

Suddenly someone knocked at the door.- Snif… Go away! I want to be alone!- he yelled at the door.

- It's me, Jazz. Please Danny, let me in.- she pleaded.

- I said GO AWAY!- He yelled, still crying.

- Come on little sis. Let me in, let's talk about it. Maybe we can make a plan to convince dad.- Jazz pleaded again. She didn't hear anything but Danny's cries.- Sigh, fine sis, see you at dinner.- she said heading to her own room but the door clicked, telling her that it was open.

- Hey Danny. I'm sorry for what he said, he's scared of losing you, that's all.-

- But he's not going to lose me, I'm just going to be my true self, that's all.-

- Yes, but as mom said, you'll stop being Danny and become Daniela, someone else, a girl instead of a boy. And that scares him.-

- I'm not someone else. I'm you. I like the same things that you like. Like the music, the movies, the food and the videogames, etc., etc.,- Daniela explained.

- But I'll be me Jazz, I'll be the same, the same likes in music, movies, food and videogames, etc., etc.,- Danny used what Daniela told him to explain himself.

- Hey! I just said that.- Daniela yelled, getting angry.

- Yes, but no one besides me can hear you Daniela, and I'm using what you said to explain everything we both feel.- Danny explained.- Fine, fine.- she said, still angry, but understanding what Danny meant.

- I know you'll be the same great person Danny, but you won't be a boy anymore, and that's a change, a pretty huge change Danny. Haven't you thought about that Danny? Everyone will know who you were, and who you will be, many people will bully you, along with anyone who gets in the same procedure as you. If you think that male bullying is awful, you haven't seen anything, the female bullying is way worst Danny, and I'm pretty sure that those brats of Paulina and Star will try to bully you, along with the boys who will appoint you as sissy, or gay, or something similar.- Jazz explained.

- I don't care Jazz. I'm a girl! I want to be a girl! And if I have to endure more and worst bullying, I will. Besides it will be for a few more years, after that, I'll move on to college and I'll make my life. I just want to be happy Jazz.-

- Fine. You win. Then we have to make a plan to convince dad of letting you go for the procedure.- Jazz said and started to think.

- What if I run away? With my ghost powers will make impossible for anyone to find me.-

- Oh believe me Danny, if you run away, we're going to find you, and yes, I said we because I'll help mom and Dad to do it.-

- Fine. What if I overshadow dad? I pretend to be him and give my consent to perform the procedure in me.-

- That could work, but it's pretty unfair with dad. Let's leave it as the last choice ok? We want to convince him for real Danny. We want him to agree with the procedure.-

- But you heard him, he won't let me do it. Maybe I could wait to be legal and go by myself to wherever the procedure will be available, and never talk to dad again.- Danny said angry.

- That's… something I want to avoid too Danny. I don't want to break the family. Do you want that Danny?-

- Of course not Jazz, but if dad doesn't let me go, he's stopping my happiness, he'll be an obstacle, and I won't let any obstacle to stop me with this. I'll become a girl, whether dad's like it or not.-

- Fine Danny, give me some time, I'll think of something ok?-

- Ok.-

- Kids, dinner's ready- They heard Maddie yell from downstairs.

- Let's go Danny. We can't think straight with our stomachs empty.-

- I´m not hungry.-

- You're not hungry? How so? I'm starving already.- Daniela said pouting.

- Oh come on Danny! Don't be a child please, let's go.-

- Fine.- Danny said reluctantly.

At dinner.

Everyone was silent, Danny avoided any kind of contact with his father; the mood was so tense that it could be cut with a knife.

- So… How was your day Jazz?- Maddie tried to lighten the mood.

- Seriously mom? Seriously? Sorry but this isn't a good time for that mom.-

- Oh! I'm sorry for trying to forget our problems for a little while.- said Maddie getting angry with Jazz.

- Forgetting them for a while won't make them disappear mom.- Danny interrupted.

- I know honey. But we are all in so bad mood now, that we won't be able to talk about them quietly.- Maddie explained.

- Then we don't have to talk about them.- Danny said loftily. Maddie felt tears in her eyes.

- Don't talk to your mother like that Danny, you're angry with me, not with her.- Jack said calmly.

- Fine, I'm sorry mom. I'm just really angry. Please excuse me.-

- Don't worry dear. Everything is just fine.- Maddie said letting a tear fall from her right eye to her right cheek.

- Sigh… Is this that important to you son?- Jack asked turning to Danny.

- Uh huh- Danny replied, not looking at him.

- Are… are you… mhmh… are you sure you're a… a trans… a transgender son? Are you sure you're really a g… a girl in a boy's body?- He asked, his voice shaking, fearing the answer.

- Yes dad, I'm pretty sure.- He answered, finally looking at his father.- I can show you if you want.-

- Show me? Show me what Danny?-

- My true self dad, I can show you both my true self through the mirror.-

- How can you do that Danny?- Maddie asked very interested.

- I just have to stand in front of a mirror and focus my energy, that way, you'll be able to see what I see every time I look at the mirror.-

- Interesting. What do you say Jack? Don't you want to see how your new daughter would be?- Maddie asked turning to her husband.

- Mmm… I… I don't know… I…- Jack didn't know what to say.

- Well, I do want to see her. I want to see how beautiful you could be honey.- Maddie said excitedly.

- Very well then, come to my room mom, I'll show you with the full length mirror there.- Maddie, Jazz and Danny went upstairs to Danny's room, leaving Jack there in the table, alone.

- Sigh…- That's the only thing that Jack could muster.

At Danny's room Maddie and Jazz sat down on Danny's bed while he undressed himself until he was totally naked.

- Uh! Danny. Do you need to be naked honey?- Maddie asked embarrassed.

- No mom, it's not needed, but as we are all girls here, and I want to show you how true this is, I want to show you my complete girl body.- Danny explained and started to focus his energy.

Maddie covered her mouth with her both hands at the sight in the mirror, that girl reflected there was beautiful, absolutely beautiful.- Is that… Is that my daughter? Is that how Danny could be if he was born a girl? Is that how Danny can be if he goes to the Axion labs to get that procedure?- She thought.

- Danny, is that you? Is that your female body dear?- She asked.

- Yes mommy, That's me, my true self, the one I want to be.- He answered.

- Oh honey! You're so beautiful.- Maddie said with tears in her eyes.

- Don't worry honey, I'll convince your father, but we still have some issues to fix with Vlad. But I promise you dear, we'll find a way to make that beautiful girl to come out to this world ok?-

- Yes mommy Thank you!- Danny exclaimed and hugged Maddie.

They didn't know that Jack pop his head in the room, and he could see Danny's girl body too.- She's so beautiful. And she seems so happy. Sigh.- Jack thought to himself.
