*Sound effects like a hiccup or a boom*
Waking up a 5'4 tall young raven-haired 14-year-old, with a scrawny build, fair complexion, and icy blue eyes groaned in pain and got up, albeit rather sluggishly, reached for his alarm clock that was beeping quite loudly, and making his head pound rather angrily. Heading to his curtains, only to immediately close them when the light seeping through his window nearly blinded him and made the pounding in his head grow almost ten times worse. Groaning he closed his eyes and tried to think on why his head was pounding so much.
Most of everything was a blank, the only thing he can remember was walking in the nearby forested mountain. Groaning he tried to climb back into bed, hoping that he could skip school today because of his headache.
"Danny!" His mother called up from the bottom floor.
Releasing a groan, he put on his usual white t-shirt with a red circle and a pair of blue jeans on, and went down stairs with some annoyed grumbling, though not before taking some conveniently placed stomach medicine from his nightstand. Walking into the kitchen he saw his parents sitting at the table with slightly baggy eyes and rather sheepish expressions, though his dad did have a slightly guilty look as well, with his sister looking rather angry as she glared at them with her own set of baggy eyes.
His mother, Maddie Fenton, is a woman with a curvy figure, aqua eyes, and short auburn hair standing at 5'9, wearing her usual blue jumpsuit, with long black gloves and boots, and a set of red tinted lab goggles that were wrapped around her neck.
His father, Jack Fenton, on the other hand stood at 6'9, which helped him appear not as overweight with the large and bulky frame he gained from eating a large amount of fudge over the years, wearing his signature orange jumpsuit with black gloves and boots, and a set of teal lab goggles that were also around his neck, with his hood down, revealing his black hair with some white at the back of his neck.
His sister, Jazz Fenton, was slightly taller than him at 5'6, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, a pair of aqua pants, and an aqua hairband that kept her hip length bright auburn hair pulled back.
"Jazz, what happened last night? My head is pounding and I can't remember much, also, why are you glaring at mom and dad?" Danny asked his sister.
"Well Danny, you know that foreign soda that mom and dad got us for our good grades, and you getting into high school?" Jazz asked, her aqua eyes not leaving their parents.
"Yeah, why?" Danny questioned.
"Well apparently it had alcohol in it, so much so, that just a few cups got us good and drunk. Luckily though, it appears nothing bad happened and we all just passed out in our rooms." Jazz replied, her glare not leaving their parents.
"Is that why my head feels like a pair of drummers are having a contest in my head?" Danny questioned his sister while he turned a glare to his parents.
"Yes little brother it is." Jazz responded, before asking their parents, "Now, what do you two have to say for yourselves?"
We're sorry Danny, Jazzie-pants, but we didn't know that soda had any alcohol in it. If we knew, we would have just sprung for some pizza, a night at the theater, and give you both a three-day weekend. Besides, that website was recommended and translated from Swedish by my two times removed older cousin Stanford. How about this; Jazzie-pants, you and Maddie can go to that spa resort you two were talking about during the summer, while we buy that gaming computer Danny had his eye on and a couple of games, and a four-day weekend from school?" the Fenton patriarch asked with pleading dark blue eyes.
Jazz merely narrowed her eyes at him, before Danny spoke up.
"Hey Jazz, today is Friday and I just noticed that we all smell kind of bad. So why don't we take it, besides, doesn't that that spa have a guest speaker showing up tomorrow for some reason?" Danny asked, wanting to get some more sleep.
Jazz held her glare for a few more seconds before giving a sigh and acquiescing with a nod of her head while saying, "sure, besides, Dr. Brian Johnson-Smith is going to be there for about three days, so it would be great to have a relaxing experience while listening to a rising star in the psychology field."
That sounds excellent sweetie, Jazz you go take a shower while I pack for us, and while we're on the way there, we'll go and get some take-out from your favorite restaurant." the Fenton matriarch said, already walking out of the kitchen and heading upstairs.
"While you're doing that, I'll call Stanford a piece of my mind for not telling us that the soda was alcoholic," Jack said while reaching for the phone, only for a knocking at the door to stop him.
Groaning, Jack went to the door.
"So Jazz, do you want my old computer?" Danny asked, "it should be faster than the one you have right now, you'll just have to put it back to manufacturer settings after we get my new one all set up and ready to go."
"I would actually like that Danny, I just have to either find someone to take my old computer or donate it to a charity that gives to low-income families that can't afford much," Jazz replied, before getting up to get ready for a nice and relaxing shower.
Everything was nice and quiet until they heard their dad yell out, "SUFFERING SPPOKS!" quickly they, and Maddie who was coming down to ask Jazz what clothes she wanted, rushed to the door and got the shock of their lives.
(As Danny was waking up)
She woke up as the sun started to peek through the tops of the trees in the forest she had taken refuge in. Stretching her limbs, she released a light groan that shook the leaves around her, before flapping her wings and taking off into the sky, using her magic to make herself invisible to all but the ones she will be working for so as to not cause panic amongst the humans if they saw her in the air.
As she was flying to the house of the family she would serve, she looked down at the city to see if she could find out what maids' wear.
"Come to the Cozy Maid Café (1), where you'll be served by cute maids!" a mousey haired young woman wearing a black and white outfit that went down to her ankles, with a frilly white and black bonnet headband, a red tie, and a red ribbon being used as a belt that was tied into a big bow, advertised while holding a sign. As she took in the looks of the young woman advertising a restaurant, memorizing the outfit, she was startled to hear what sounded like a roar right near her. Looking to her left, she saw what looked like a giant bird made out of metal, an airplane she thought the one who hired her called them, and quickly moved her head and neck out of the way so she wouldn't cause an accident. Looking at the loud machine, she idly wondered how something so loud could not make any noise until it was basically right next to her, before shaking her head and going on her way.
She kept flying for the next five minutes, looking for the building that was described to her, made out of bricks with a strange giant metal structure on top with a sign saying 'Fenton Works' on the side. 'There it is,' she thought.
It was definitely a strange looking building, but she wasn't one to judge, after all she basically slept in caves, forests, abandoned castles, and even the open sky at times, at least this building has a roof and four walls.
Using a spell that would make it so that normal humans would not come down this road, she landed and lightly knocked on the door with a claw.
As she waited, she thought of whether Danny had told them about her or not. Probably not considering he was rather drunk last night and has probably forgotten about her.
"SUFFERING SPOOKS!"
That strange shout drew her out of her thoughts as she looked at the man she assumed was Danny's father. He was definitely dressed rather strangely, but seeing as he and Danny's mother worked with the ghosts of this world, the uniform probably made sense. Oh, here was the rest of the family, well time to show off her human form.
A magic circle filled with alchemical symbols appeared, before in a red flash of light she changed from a green European dragon with central heterochromia eyes (2) that were yellow on the outside and red on the inside with slit pupils, with black wings, and a light green underbelly into a 5'9 (5'10 including her horns) sixteen-year-old looking girl with long blonde that had flaming orange tips tied into pigtails that went down to her mid-thighs, red-orange eyes with reptilian slits pupils, plump breasts, large thighs, and a reptilian tail resembling the one she had in her dragon form, most of which was hidden under her now uniform that she copied from that girl earlier.
Jumping up, causing her breasts to bounce, she cried out "Tada!" with a big grin on her face.
Meanwhile the Fenton family just stared at the scene they all had witnessed with mouths agape, several thoughts running through their minds such as: 'DRAGON', 'illusion', 'delusion', 'lack of sleep', 'will she eat me?', 'who?', and 'I'M GOING TO BE EATEN!' before coming to the, rather logical, conclusion that this was a dream.
Still in a stupor, the Fenton family gave out various greetings, before moving to the side when the dragon turned human looking girl asked to be let in.
Sitting at the kitchen table, the Fenton stared at her, minus Jazz who was making some coffee for herself, Jack, and Maddie.
"So, why did you show up at our house?" Maddie asked the apparent dragon in the room, on guard because while the ghost alarms weren't going off, that didn't mean that the dragon turned cute girl was not dangerous after coming to the conclusion that this was not a dream when she stubbed her little toe on one of the coffee tables in the living room.
Oh, Danny hired me to be the families' maid last night," she replied with a grin.
"Wait, I did?" Danny asked with a frown of confusion while closing his eyes, that did sound familiar, "but where did we meet last night?"
"I'm not surprised you don't remember, though a little hurt that you don't, I've been told that some humans don't really remember much when they've drunk a lot. Anyway, we met in the forest on the mountain last night," she told him, with a slight air of superiority.
"Wait," Danny said, his brow furrowed in thought, "I think I'm starting to remember what happened last night."
(Last night around 11:30 PM)
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Danny laughed uproariously, wobbling a bit as he walked through a forested mountain near Amity Park, carrying three two-liter bottles of the "soda" his dad had ordered, and two glasses (you never know when you'll drop one by accident), "man, who knew hiking could be so much fun?!"
He stopped for a bit to look at a sign warning about bears in the area.
"Bears... tasty bears, BRING IT ON, I'LL EAT THEM ALL!" he roared, quite hungry as he left without eating anything.
He kept on laughing as he stumbled around until he hit something and fell on his ass. Looking up, he saw what he had bumped into, a dragon with a massive sword going through its' hip area.
"Human, out of what hole didst thou crawl?" the dragon asked.
Danny just stood there with a blank expression, before his eyes started to widen as his irises and pupils contracted, his body shaking a bit.
'Here it comes,' the dragon thought, ready for the obnoxious screaming, and promises of worship and sacrifices, but what happened next was something that she did not expect.
"A DRAGON!" Danny yelled, quite excited, "HUG ME!" he continued to yell, running up and hugging the dragons' snout.
Only for said dragon to throw him off her snout and roar, "INSOLENT HUMAN, LEAVE OR I'LL DEVOUR YOU!"
"Alas, either way, I'm going to die as well," she said with a rueful chuckle, "how pathetic is it, that the last being I'll ever see and talk to is a hum-".
Only for him to interrupt her, "hey, that weird way of talking has to be tiring, don't you ever get tired of it?" Danny asked, with the dragon replying with a "huh?" and a shocked expression.
"Do you need that thing taken out?" he asked, pointing to the sword lodged beneath her scales and flesh.
"Uh, well..." the dragon mumbled, though her voice was loud enough that even then it was still clear to hear. Though when she felt him start to climb on her leg, she let out a "hey!"
"You fool! If a human touches a divine weapon, their mind will be torn- AHH!" she started to say, before yelling in pain, from the weapon moving around inside her, and shock, from seeing Danny grabbing the weapon and seemingly still having his mind in one piece from the concentrated expression on his face.
"I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DIVINITY, BUT IF THERE IS SOME KIND OF GOD OUT THERE, THEN MAYBE THEY CAN MAKE MY LIFE BE A LITTLE EASIER!" he yelled, grunting in exertion all the while trying to pull the sword out of her, with her shouting, "NO, NO, NO!" trying to get him to stop, partly before he succumbed to madness, and more than likely start killing her even faster, and partly because of the pain it was causing her. Before with a final grunt of effort, he pulled the sword out of her hip, before it disappeared in a golden flash of light.
Her eyes widened as he fell onto the grass below them, before getting up and sitting down in front of her.
He slammed down one of the two-litter bottles down on the ground, before yelling at her, "EVEN IF THIS IS A DREAM, THAT GIVES YOU NO REASON TO ACT SO DAMN RUDE!" all while pointing at her.
"I'm sorry, though you saved me, the only reason why I'm in this world is because I fled here after losing a battle with the gods," she apologized and explained.
"I imagine the only reason why you were able to remove that sword, is because you lack faith," she continued, I'm truly gratef-"
"WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THAT?!" Danny shouted, "COME ON, HAVE A DRINK WITH ME!" he continued, pouring her a drink into one of the glasses he had, ignoring her confused 'huh?' and shell-shocked expression, "LISTEN TO MY LIFE STORY SO FAR!"
Releasing an exasperated sigh, she summoned forth her magic circle and transformed into her human form, although only with a light brown travelling cloak to protect her modesty.
"Oh," he said, looking a bit mystified, "so you're a girl?"
"Yes," she replied, "I am, but I don't like using this spell, and my name's Tohru," taking a drink of what was offered to her, she was amazed at the taste of it, it tasted like those grapes she had stolen from some elves, but it also had a kick to it that made her feel energized.
"YEAH, GRAPE SODA IS THE BEST TO SLAM BACK AFTER A HARD DAY!" Danny yelled.
'Soda?' she thought, 'is that what this kind of alcohol is called?'
(Two hours later)
"THIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD IS UNFAIR!" Danny roared angrily, "I'M DOING MY BEST IN CLASS AND I'M BEING TOLD THAT IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH THAT IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO GET MY DREAM JOB, DESPITE IT BEING ALL A'S (3)!"
"THAT'S RIGHT!" Tohru shouted, now completely drunk, "POINT OUT THE ONES THAT KEEP PUTTING YOU DOWN, I'LL BRING AN END TO THEM!"
"AND WHY THE HELL DO YOU KEEP ON BLAMING ME WHEN YOU GET F'S ON TESTS?!" he continued, thinking about a certain pain in his ass, "IF YOU JUST STUDIED A LITTLE BIT AND TOOK SOME NOTES, YOU WOULDN'T CONSTANTLY GET F'S!"
"DON'T ASSUME ALL DRAGONS ARE THOSE LOLICONS WHO DEMAND A VILLAGE'S VIRGIN DAUGHTERS!" Tohru went on, outraged at all dragons being put under one umbrella because of a few weirdos, while Danny cheered in the background.
*BBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!* Danny belched.
There was silence for three seconds before, *BBUUURRRRPPP!* Tohru responded with a smaller belch of her own, releasing a bit of fire at the same time.
This culminated in the both of them laughing loudly, with Danny on his back kicking his legs wildly in the air, while Tohru was on her front, pounding her fist on the ground.
The laughter was short lived though, as a rather depressing thought came to Danny, "I'm so alone, sure I have family and two great friends, but my family are too busy to do anything with me, my dad and mom are too busy with their 'job' and building their 'ghost portal'," he said in a melancholic tone, putting air quotes around the words job and ghost portal, "my sister is studying to for college even though she doesn't have to study as hard with how many scholarships she has lined up already for her grades, club activities, , and volunteer work despite not having graduated yet, meanwhile my only two friends are constantly at each other's throats every other week over their differences, and I'm constantly in the middle of them trying to make sure that they just don't start trying to kill each other," he continued, looking at the ground, his eyes watering a bit.
"I'm alone too," Tohru said, "I'm alone in this world, none of my friends or family know I'm here, and they probably think I'm dead.
"So you don't have anywhere to go?" Danny asked.
"No, though except for when my parents raised me until they thought I was strong enough to fend for myself, I was basically alone since the start (4)," Tohru replied.
"Then do you want to come to my place?" Danny inquired.
"I d-do," Tohru answered, her eyes widening as tears began to form.
"THEN BE MY MAID!" Danny exclaimed, looking into her eyes intensely.
"Your what?" Tohru asked, rather bewildered, her face set in an expression of shock.
"I'M TIRED OF DASH RUBBING IT IN MY FACE THAT HIS FAMILY IS WEALTHY ENOUGH THAT THEY HAVE A MANSION AND MAIDS TO DO THEIR WOR- oh," Danny started to rant, not noticing Tohrus' increasing blush when he asked her to be his maid, before he cut himself off.
"I forgot, my name is Daniel Fenton, but most people call me Danny," he told her.
"Anyway, I think it's about time for me to head home, do you want to come with me, or do you want to just show up tomorrow?" he questioned.
"I think I'll show up tomorrow, I have your scent, so I can just find out where you live," she told him.
"Yeah, but my scent is basically all over the city, how about you look for my house, it's made out of bricks, has a huge amount of metal in the shape of a UFO on top, and a sign saying 'Fenton Works' on the side," Danny supplied her.
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then Danny!" Tohru said, rather excited.
(Back to the present)
After Danny had finished retelling the tale of how he met Tohru last night, minus the stuff about him feeling alone in the world, as well as telling them Tohru's name, everything was quiet, until Maddie spoke up.
"Well, Jazz is in her most important year of high school, plus Danny has just started high school, so they do need to study more now (5)," she said. "So, I guess we can hire her, but we will have to move stuff around in one of the guest rooms to her liking once she has some personal stuff."
"HUH?!" Jazz and Danny yelled.
"But mom, I thought we couldn't affor-" Jazz began to say, before Jack interrupted her.
"Wait, you thought we couldn't afford to hire someone to take care of the house?" Jack said in confusion, "we're actually quite rich, easily the richest family in town, after all you know the ops-center can transform into a blimp and a jet, the fees we need to keep it here in town and to be able to fly it alone are pretty high, then there's all the metal that surrounds it plus reinforcing the house to withhold the weight of the ops-center and the fuel for the ops-center to take off, the sign, the materials for our experiments, tools, the Fenton R.V, and weapons that we have to keep on buying, especially the ghost portal that your mom and I are working on (6)".
Danny and Jazz were quiet for about ten seconds, before they loudly slammed their heads against the table.
"Why didn't I see it, of course we're actually the richest family in town," Jazz said, amazed at the obliviousness she, and the rest of the town, have about her family's finances.
"I don't know, maybe the same reason I didn't either, maybe it's the fact that we live in an area that is aggressively middle class, or the fact that our parent's jobs are being ghost hunters, and that doesn't really pay the bills," Danny replied.
"Well Danny, I think you should probably show Tohru around town, get her used to the area after Jazz shows her some more normal clothes than the outfit she's currently wearing," Maddie said.
"Wait, I thought that this outfit would be okay, I saw another maid wearing it on my way here and just copied the looks of it, is there something wrong with it?" Tohru questioned, tilting her head in a cute manner.
"well, that outfit is actually the work uniform for a restaurant that a really eccentric man in town opened up after going on a trip to Japan last spring and saw a lot of maid cafés and figured 'why not open one up back home, they seem to make enough money here in Japan', so we can show you pictures of what maids actually wear, along with casual clothing for when you're out and doing your own stuff," Jazz explained, getting up from her seat to lead Tohru to her room.
"Well Danny, you better take a shower really quick, you'll have to show Tohru around a lot of places today, I'll let you order that computer when you two get back, and don't worry about the school, we called them earlier and let them know that you'll be back in on Tuesday morning," Jack said, he and Danny completely unaware of the slight blush Tohru gotat the mention of Danny cleaning up, with Maddie and Jazz seeing her blush before looking at each other with slight smiles and glints in their eyes.
"We might have to show Tohru how to cook, after all she is from another world, so she might not know the the same dishes as us, but I think until Jazz and I get back you two will have to make do with sandwiches, easy to cook meals, and take out, as well as show her how to use the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, and all the other stuff," Maddie said, as Danny left the kitchen to take a shower, before Jazz took Tohru to her room.
(In Jazz's room)
"So, this is a computer huh?" Tohru asked, looking at the strange, for her, contraption.
"Yeah, it's pretty useful for many things, like keeping up with your friends' social lives, buying stuff without having to leave the house, playing games, or in our case, looking up pictures of stuff," Jazz answered, "and what did you mean earlier when you said that you copied that outfit?"
"Oh, well these clothes are actually my scales, since I don't have any money, I figured that this was the best solution," Tohru answered with a smile and closed eyes, completely unaware of the wide-eyed blush she got from Jazz at the reveal that she was basically naked.
"Okay, we'll look at and print out pictures of shirts, pants, skirts, jackets, hats, bras, panties, socks, belts, and bikinis until you have enough for a full wardrobe until we get you some clothes, though we will need to measure you to get you clothes that fit you properly, we might need to go and get you personally tailored though for your maid outfit," Jazz said, doing her absolute best to not appeared flustered.
"What, why?" Tohru asked, not seeing the problem with her using her scales and making them look like clothing.
"Well, to be completely honest, even though you use magic to make your scales look like clothes, how do you know someone else from your world won't come here, someone without good intentions, and they use a spell or something that renders whatever kind of spell that makes your scales act like clothing useless?" Jazz asked, "not to mention I saw the way you were looking at my brother, and to be honest, I approve of you more than a friend of his that is crushing on him, and if you were to start dating my brother to the point you two are physically intimate with each other, you can tease him a bit with certain kinds of clothes."
At first Tohru thought about it, then saw Jazz's point, she was not the strongest dragon in any of the three factions, so it was possible that someone could just nullify her scales to clothes trick and get her in trouble, then she got a huge blushing smile on her face when Jazz said that she approved, which was quickly followed by an annoyed look when she heard that someone else was crushing on Danny, and lastly a rather perverted grin with some drooling at the thought of her and Danny in bed together.
Said perverted grin was wiped off her face when Jazz hit her with a rolled up newspaper on the top of her head while saying, "no perverted thoughts about my brother while I'm around."
"Now then, let's find you some proper clothes you can turn your scales into, and then after that, get your measurements so we can order you some actual clothes when mom and I get back," Jazz said, before turning back to her computer and bringing up a couple of websites to look up clothing styles, types, patterns, and one depicting many different colors and shades.
(10 minutes later)
Having just got out of the shower and dried, Danny was in his room, putting on some deodorant, thinking of what places to show Tohru, when he looked outside and saw some incoming storm clouds.
As he was putting on a white t-shirt with red and white plaid sleeves, he saw what appeared to be a laser coming out form the room next to his and hit the clouds, causing them to disappear. Rushing into the next room, he saw his sister looking at Tohru slack-jawed as said dragon girl took her head out of the window with a giant grin on her face.
"What just happened?!" he asked, rather surprised and frightened.
"I just got rid of the clouds that threatened our little outing, after Jazz here bet that I couldn't," Tohru replied, a rather smug grin on her face.
"Jeez, how strong are you Tohru?" Danny asked.
"Strong enough that if I wanted to, I could bring the apocalypse to this world," Tohru answered closing her eyes.
"Please don't," Jazz and Danny said, rather terrified with wide eyes.
I'll be waiting downstairs, waiting for you Tohru," Danny said before leaving.
(15 minutes later)
As Danny was waiting for Tohru, he decided to play a random game he downloaded onto his smartphone a few days ago, before he heard someone coming down the stairs.
Looking up, he saw Tohru dressed in a crimson t-shirt, a pair of black knee length jean shorts with a black and red plaid half skirt over it, a dark purple headband that made it look like her horns were decorative, and a pair of dark navy-blue sneakers with black socks.
He was mesmerized, 'wow, I've never seen someone so beautiful, not even Paulina looks half as good as Tohru,' he thought.
"Hey Danny, I'm ready to go, what's our first stop?" Tohru asked.
Shaking his head, Danny spoke "well, we haven't eaten yet, so the first stop is getting some breakfast, then we'll go from there."
"Okay," Tohru responded with a shrug of her shoulders.
"So, what happened to your tail?" Danny asked.
"Oh, I just used the spell you saw me use earlier when I transformed from a dragon to a more human form to get rid of my tail temporarily, I'll bring it back when we're here," Tohru answered.
"Well okay then, let's get to showing you around the town," Danny said as they made their way to the front door.
