A/N: I got the idea for this story as I wrote "Once the Fairy-Tale is over". Although you can consider it a spin-off from my previous story, it is not necessary to read it to understand this one. Thank you for reading it!

At first glance, Tommy and Tammy Turner may seem like a couple of common, suburban kids from the year 2022. Sure, there is that air of mystery that usually surrounds a couple of twins, but other than that their lives seem pretty average: A couple of workaholic parents, an evil robotic baby-sitter, an old teacher who grants them F's generously and many endless afternoons playing silly games -while neglecting their homework- inside their room.

Boring, isn't it?

Think again!

Actually, what no one knows - because they aren't allowed to divulge it - is that inside that seemingly normal fishbowl besides their window lives a couple of peculiar goldfishes, one with bright green eyes and the other with warm pink ones.

But these aren't regular goldfishes at all, for in reality they are Cosmo and Wanda, their Fairy Godparents!.

They were sent to the Turner household to protect and keep company to the twins, granting them every single wish they come up with while avoiding being discovered by the unwary adults, including Tim Turner -former Godson and the twins' father- although that's something the children still ignore... for now.

And let me assure you that their crazy adventures aren't boring at all!


The Fairly Odd Parents 2022 in... A SECOND CHILDHOOD.

Night had finally fallen on a quiet street from Dimmsdale's suburbs, so it was almost time for dinner in the white house that stood in the middle of the block. Freed from the dreaded Vic-bot for the weekend, Tommy and Tammy Turner were already making plans for the following day.

- "I can't wait to show Daddy my new Kaboom Nebula game!"- exclaimed brown-haired Tammy as she showed her brother her newest videogame.

- "You just want to watch him complain after you beat him yet again, don't you?"- replied black-haired Tommy with a grin. Tammy giggled.

- "I can't help it! He's so funny when he makes those silly faces!"- she said- "He's the worst player I've ever seen! Although he once said he was a videogame expert."

- "He was probably just bluffing"- Tommy added shrugging- "You know, to make himself look cooler in front of us"

- "How weird!"- Commented his sister, her voice dripping sarcasm- "That's exactly what you always do to impress Alicia Jane..."

Tommy ignored her comment, for the sole mention of his crush made his mind wander as usual to that place far away from his room -and his common sense, according to Tammy- where all his fantasies resided.

- "Alicia Jane Ibrahim..."- he whispered, his eyes literally turning into small, pink hearts- "I love her with the intensity of a thousand white-hot burning suns!"

Tammy rolled her eyes and glanced at her brother's side of their room, where a rather creepy shrine built in honor of Dimmsdale Elementary's top student stood, complete with a fairly accurate doll-replica of the light-tanned girl.

- "Yeah, yeah"- she said- "Better change the subject before you do something stupid like wishing you were the tallest boy ever."

- "Don't remind me!"- Groaned the boy clutching his head- "I still have a bruise from slamming my head against the classroom's ceiling!"

- "I can't understand how Mom is able to keep up with all your non-sense"- added Tammy- "Crushes are for dorks!"

- "At least I can dream of being noticed by Alicia Jane someday"- said Tommy sticking out his tongue- "If I were as ugly as you, I would have already lost any hope for that"

- "Please!"- Exclaimed Tammy, her cheeks flushed from anger- "At least I'm not the one who wanders around the neighborhood wearing such a stupid pink hat!"

- "My hat isn't stupid!"- said Tommy, advancing menacely towards his sister.

- "It is!"

- "It isn't!"

- "It is!"

- "It isn't!"

- "It..."

- "Please be quiet!"- Suddenly said a female voice. Tommy and Tammy turned around and, just as they expected it, found their Fairy Godparents floating above their fishbowl.- "You are going to give me a headache!"

- "You are back!"- Exclaimed the kids happily, already forgetting their discussion- "How was your updating course?"

- "Exhausting. Jorgen's tests were extremely hard!"- Wanda glanced at her husband and added- "And it didn't help the fact that we had to take them five times in a row because someone kept failing the written one."

- "It wasn't my fault!"- Whined Cosmo- "That first question was really hard!"

- "You don't mean the one that said 'Name', do you?"

- "Exactly!"- He exclaimed- "Such a tricky one!"

The twins giggled while Wanda slapped her palm against her forehead, but smiled nonetheless.

- "Anyway, did you get your Godparent licenses renewed?"- asked Tammy. Both fairies smiled as they took out their new credentials.

- "You bet!"- said Cosmo grinning- "And I must say that I look a lot better in this picture than in the last one, although it was taken twenty years ago!"

- "I wish I could say the same about mine"- commented Wanda frowning at her credential.

Cosmo took it and exclaimed,

- "That's because your beauty can't be captured on a picture, Pudding!"

- "Awww! Darling!"- said Wanda as she kissed her husband.

- "Ewww! Yuck!"- Whined Tammy.- "I can only stand that kind of icky fluff on TV!"

- "How long did it take you to get your licenses renewed the last time?"- asked Tommy, ignoring his sister's rude remark.

- "I think it was a day or two"- said Wanda as she held Cosmo's hand- "I remember we had to leave a temp to look after our Godson during our absence"

- "But he sure didn't like it!"- Exclaimed Cosmo- "You should have seen Tim... umph!"

- "Huh? What did you say?"- asked Tammy.

After using her wand to zip her husband's mouth, Wanda replied- "What Cosmo meant was that leaving a temp wasn't a good idea after all. The Agency sent one of Santa's elves, and the poor creature could only create toys. That's why we decided it'd be better to leave you alone this time. I hope the Vic-bot didn't give you much trouble during our absence"

- "Don't worry"- said Tommy casually waving his hand- "We handled her just fine"

- "Although, I wish we would stay away from the laundry room unless it's really necessary!"- complained Tammy, rubbing her nose as she tried to avoid yet another detergent-induced sneeze.

Both fairies instantly raised their wands and granted their Goddaughter's unnoticed wish.

Poof! No more laundry!

- "Tammy!"- Exclaimed Tommy glaring at his sister- "Look what you've done!"

- "Ooops!"- Gasped the girl covering her mouth with both hands- "I didn't mean it!"

- "You need to pay more attention on what you say"- said Wanda- "Otherwise you might wish for something you didn't want to in the first place... and it could be something more troublesome than staying away from the laundry room"

- "Not that I complain about that"- added Tammy blushing- "But I'll try to pay more attention from now on..."

- "All right, Sweetie"- nodded Wanda.

- "Uhm! Uhm!"- tried to say Cosmo. Wanda raised her wand and unzipped her husband's mouth, who then added - "I mean... what are your plans for this weekend?"

- "Actually, we were making them just before you arrived"- said Tammy with a smile- "I have an appointment with my V-Cube-360, my Kaboom Nebula videogame and Daddy tomorrow morning!"

- "And while Tammy kicks poor Dad's butt,"- added her twin brother- "Mom and I will spend the morning at the mall looking for the perfect present for A.J. Ibrahim's birthday. Unlike Tammy, Mom knows what normal girls like"

Tammy stuck out her tongue at her brother.

- "After that, we are all going to see the new Crimson Chin picture at the Movie-plex!"

- "Lamest super-hero ever"- said Tommy rolling his eyes- "But Dad and Tammy read his comic-books all the time. Besides, it's been a while since we last went to the movies together, so it'll be fun!"

- "It seems you already have everything perfectly planned"- said Wanda as she smiled at her husband- "I guess that means that Cosmo and I will have a quiet weekend to recover from our exams"

- "Of course! It's gonna be the best weekend ever!"- Exclaimed Tammy- "I can't wait for tomorrow!"

-o-

- "I can't wait for tomorrow"- said Tim Turner tiredly as he dropped his briefcase in the middle of the living-room. Dragging his feet, he nearly crawled to the couch and sat on it, sighing as soon as he felt the cushions under his aching back.

- "Rough day, Honey?"- asked his wife, Dorothy Turner, as she sat next to him. She yawned as she removed her glasses with a hand, using the other one to rub her tired eyes.

- "Rough week"- he replied, passing his arm over Dorothy's shoulders- "Two projects, a hundred meetings with my clients from the Dairy Company and Mr. Robinson poking his nose inside my office all the time. I swear I spent the last ten minutes watching the clock's minute hand as it moved towards the '12' "

- "Tell me about it!"- She added, cuddling against her husband- "Chester and I spent the whole week outside the City Hall waiting for the Mayor to interview him. The "trash-incident" has had the Dim Daily's redaction acting like crazy, so I can barely feel my feet now"

- "Thank goodness it's finally Friday!"- Tim smiled.

- "And we have a whole weekend ahead of us to both recharge our batteries and spend some time with the kids"

- "You are right"- he grinned as he kissed her forehead- "As I said, I can't wait for tomorrow!"


- "So tell me, Tammy"- said Tim the following day as he looked through the morning mail- "What do you want to do today?"

His ten-year-old daughter smiled as she showed him her latest videogame. Tim left the mail on the table and took the box.

- "Kaboom Nebula, huh?"- He muttered, examining the colorful picture printed on it- "He looks cool, but nothing like the original!"

- "Just wait until breakfast is over!"- replied Tammy mischievously. Her father was about to retort when his cell-phone started ringing.

- "Just a minute, Sweetie"- he apologized as he answered the phone- "Hello? This is Tim Turner... Oh... Hello Mr. Robinson..."

Tammy immediately felt a flip in her stomach, for she perfectly knew what happened every time Mr. Robinson called her Dad on a Saturday morning.

- "The sales report?"- Muttered Tim as he walked around the room- "Yes, I have it on my briefcase... Yes..."

Sighing, she plopped herself on the couch and waited. A green fly sat on her shoulder and buzzed- "Something's wrong, Tammy?"

- "Dad got a call from his boss"- she whispered- "But I already know what'll happen as soon as he hangs up: He'll tell me that he's sorry, because he has to work on some really-ultra-important project that just appeared out of nowhere and that can't wait until Monday to get done"

- "All right, Mr. Robinson, have a nice weekend"- said her father as he finished his phone-call. Once he put his phone away, he glanced at Tammy and smiled weakly.

- "I'm sorry, Tammy"- he whispered- "But it seems that a really urgent assignment has just come up at the office, so I'll have to work on it this weekend"

- "Wow! You really are a psycho"- buzzed Cosmo, flying around both humans. But Tammy didn't pay attention to him.

- "But Dad!"- She complained- "Who am I going to play with now?"

- "You could ask Tommy..."- replied Tim as he picked his briefcase up from the very same spot where he had dropped it the previous night.

- "Tommy's too busy thinking about Alicia Jane Ibrahim and her birthday party!"- said the girl- "Besides, you said you'd play with me today!"

- "I know, Sweetheart, but I didn't expect this to happen"- he said as he opened his briefcase and looked through its contents. He looked at Tammy and added- "What about this? I promise I'll play with your V-cube-three-hundred-whatever next weekend"

- "That's what you said last week!"- exclaimed his daughter, her cheeks flushed.

Closing his briefcase abruptly, Tim asked- "I did?"

- "Yes, you did!"- Replied the girl angrily- "You hardly ever play with me anymore!"

That magical feeling he couldn't identify as a boy, guilt, settled inside Tim's heart. It was true that he barely spent time with his children lately. With all those new projects appearing like magic on his desk, he had been forced to even spend the weekends in front of the computer. Tim suddenly had a brief flash-back to his childhood days, when he would go out to the garden and ask his own Father to play catch with him, only to return to his room after the usual explanation about being busy or tired.

He glanced at his daughter: The Dairy Farm project could perfectly wait until Midnight to be done.

- "All right, Tammy"- he smiled- "Let's go to your room"

- "Great! This will be fun! You won't regret it!"- exclaimed the girl happily, taking her father's hand and dragging him upstairs.

-o-

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Tommy and his mother were also making plans for that morning.

- "So tell me, Tommy"- asked Dorothy Turner as she whisked the ingredients for the pancakes they were going to have for breakfast that morning, following the rhythm of the jazzy tune from the kitchen's radio- "Have you already decided what do you want to give AJ for her birthday?"

- "No, that's why I want you to go with me to the Mall"- he replied, his cheeks tinted red- "I don't know anything about girls or what they like!"

Dorothy grinned- "Oh, look at you! Already blushing at the mere thought of that girl"

- "Mooom!"- He whined, rubbing his neck- "That's embarrassing!"

- "Why? I think you look adorable, just like your father did when he was your age"

- "Huh?"- Tommy glanced sadly at the floor- "You mean you've known Daddy since you were kids?"

- "Of course, Sweetie"- she replied, rubbing her chin as she remembered her childhood days- "You could say that I had a itsy-bitsy crush on him, but nothing too serious..."

- "But you ended marrying him!"

- "That's right, but that doesn't mean I didn't have more important things to do than thinking about your father back then."- she smiled- "Besides, we fell in love many years later."

- "Well... maybe you didn't care too much for your crush on Dad back then, but for me it's very important!"

- "I know, that's why I'm going with you to the Mall in the first place, isn't it?"- She said as she poured some pancake mix on a pan.- "Because..."

But she couldn't finish that sentence, because in that moment the music show ended, leaving its place to a news report.

A report with very interesting news for Dorothy Turner.

- 'Good Morning, these are the news: Surprisingly enough, the Mayor has decided to leave the City Hall to face the press and talk about the "Garbage-incident" that produced uproar in Dimmsdale earlier this week...'

- "Oh no..."- whispered Tommy, as he looked sadly at the pink juice bottle on the table.

- "The Mayor?"- Exclaimed Dorothy- "A Press conference! I must call Chester immediately!"

- "Mom?"- Said Tommy taking his mother's arm- "What about A.J.?"

- "I'm sorry Tommy, but I've been waiting the whole week to get an interview with the Mayor and this is my only chance"- she said- "Why don't you go with Tammy instead?"

- "Please! Tammy hardly qualifies as a girl!"

- "Watch it, Thomas!"

- "Sorry..."

- "What about Chester's daughter, Tracy McBadbat?"

- "She's busy today"- replied her son- "She's visiting her Grandparents at the Tang Manor"

- "Umm... and what about..."- she said as she flipped a pancake.

- "Mom! You are the only one who can help me!"- Exclaimed Tommy- "I told you I really like A.J. and I want to impress her!"

Dorothy put the pancakes on a plate and took it to the table, thinking about her teenager years and specially that day when she had looked for her older sister to ask her for advice on her first date with Tim Turner. She had been so disappointed when she had entered Vicky's room, only to find it empty. Her sister was out as usual, looking after someone's children. She never had time for her own little sister, and Dorothy knew that she'd have felt more comfortable on her date if she had had Vicky's support.

- "All right, Tommy"- she said smiling at her son: The Mayor could wait for another day- "I'll help you pick a nice present for A.J."

- "Great!"- Exclaimed the boy hugging her- "You are the best Mom ever!"


- "Dad?"

- "Huh?"

- "Crash Nebula won't shoot the enemies unless you press the fire button"- explained Tammy as she pointed at the red button on his father's controller.

- "Oh... right"- whispered the man as he pressed the button. On the screen, Crash Nebula took out his gun and fired... at his half-antimattered son, apprentice and main character of the game, Kaboom Nebula.

- "Dad! You shot me!"- Whined the brown haired girl as she watched her health bar decrease a bit. - "You must shoot that gigantic space amoeba!"

- "Oh... Sorry"- Tim yawned- "I guess I'm not good at this game..."

Tammy didn't pay attention, for she was busy trying to defeat Amoebuz, the main boss of the level they were playing. As she tried to position Kaboom behind the massive enemy to reach its weak spots, Crash- aka her father- just stood right in front of it, unaware of the giant cannon that were aiming right to his head.

- "Dad! Use your force shield!"- exclaimed the girl, awakening her father from the light slumber he had fallen into, but it was too late: Amoebuz fired his Plasma Cannon and pulverized Crash Nebula, the words "GAME" and "OVER" appearing on the screen just a few seconds later. And just as in a cue, Tim's cell phone started ringing.

- "I'm sorry, Tammy"- said Tim with a weak smile as he stood up and walked to the door- "Why don't you try again while I answer this call from the office?"

Just as he left the room, Tammy glanced at the lone Goldfish that was swimming on the fishbowl next to the window.

- "What's wrong with him!"- she sighed. The fish blinked and raised its magic wand, poofing into its original form.

- "What do you mean, Sweetie?"- asked Wanda flying towards her Goddaughter- "You are usually a better player than your father, aren't you?"

- "I know, but it's not that"- replied the girl- "Haven't you seen him? He has been barely paying attention to the screen the whole morning!"

- "You heard him earlier, Tammy"- the pink-haired fairy reminded her- "He had a rough week at work, so he's very tired and obviously not in the mood to play videogames right now. Not to mention that he must be worried because of that unexpected report he has to finish this weekend"

- "That's the problem, Wanda!"- Exclaimed Tammy- "He's changed! Although he always lost, Daddy used to enjoy our games together. But now he only cares about his dumb work and I'm sure he has also forgotten how to have fun!"

- "Now, now..."- whispered Wanda trying to calm the upset girl- "You shouldn't make that kind of assumptions..."

- "Why not! I bet that my Dad was also boring as a kid!"

- "That's not true!"- exclaimed the Fairy, immediately regretting her sudden outburst.

- "And how do you know that?"

- "I... I mean..."- replied Wanda stuttering- "I've looked after hundreds of children for 9,915 years, so I can assure you that there isn't a boring kid"

- "Oh really?"- Said Tammy finally loosing her temper, something that reminded Wanda of her former Godson- "Then I wish my Daddy could re-live his own childhood so he could remember how to have fun!"

-o-

Tommy Turner sat on a bench, tired of walking around the Mall without achieving his goal of finding the perfect gift for A.J. Ibrahim.

- "Man, I'm exhausted!"- he mumbled angrily as he watched his mother walk around the Fast-Food area, surrounding the Mayor like a lioness ready to catch her prey. It seemed that the Mayor got thirsty on his way to the Press Conference and stopped at the Mall to have a smoothie at the "Tropi-Smoothies: Made with 10 real fruit" stand.

And if you think that's the weirdest thing that would happen to Tommy that day, then I suggest you continue reading this story...

- "I know!"- said Cosmo (still disguised as a fly) as he sat over his Godson's pink hat- "I never imagined that following your mother around the Mall would be so difficult!"

- "I'm sorry, Sweetie, but this is the perfect opportunity to get an exclusive interview with the Mayor"- whined Tommy imitating his mother's tone of voice- "I'm tired of this! We've been following the Mayor for hours! My Mother doesn't care about me anymore... just her stupid job and her stupid Mayor!"

- "Maybe she doesn't remember how important it is to get a nice present for your first crush"- said Cosmo dreamily- "I can still remember the first present I gave to Wanda when we still were at Carl Poofy-Pants High..."

- "Let me guess: Cheese?"

- "No! Chocolate of course!"- exclaimed the green haired fairy- "Wanda loves chocolate so much that, as soon as I found out, I took her to Chocolate City, Utah. You should had seen the sugar rush we both got after that date!"

- "Man... even you cared more about your crush than my Mom"- said the boy sadly- "I wish she could re-live her own childhood so she could remember how it is to have a first crush..."


Unaware of the fact that their other Godchild was making exactly the same wish at the same time, Cosmo and Wanda both raised their wands, ready to grant a wish that they already knew would bring them trouble...

-Poof! Second Childhood!-

What they didn't know yet, was how much trouble it would create...
