1,000 years ago, the normally peaceful and magical Fairy World was on fire. The buildings burned as the fairies tried to escape the end of their world. Among those fairies were Timmy Turner's future GodParents, Cosmo and Wanda. Without thinking, they dived into a nearby barrel to hide.
"What do we do, Wanda?! Cosmo hysterically asked his wife. "WHAT DO WE DO?!"
"Calm down, Cosmo. We have to stay calm," Wanda said, trying to keep her hysterical husband calm. "Freaking out is the last thing we need to do."
Cosmo and Wanda heard a scream and looked out of the barrel where they saw a cloaked 8-foot horned creature grab a fairy. The fairy unsuccessfully tried to escape the creature's grip before eventually going limp and turning into dust.
"Cosmo, I take back what I said," said Wanda. We need to freak out, NOW!"
The creature quickly noticed Cosmo and Wanda and fired red laser beams out its eyes their way. The barrel exploded upon contact and Cosmo and Wanda were blown away from each other. Wanda shook off her daze and noticed the creature in front of her. Wanda screamed in terror the creature reached for her. Hearing his wife's screams, Cosmo jumped up and watched the creature grab Wanda.
"Wanda! No!" Cosmo shouted.
Without hesitation, Cosmo grabbed his wand and charged towards the creature, determined to save her.
Dimmesdale Elementary School, Present Day…
Timmy Turner excitedly ran out of school with his best friends Chester and AJ. Not only did he get through another day of school, tonight was also Halloween and he couldn't wait for all the candy he would get.
"Finally, school's over. Now we can plan for Halloween," said the excited 10-year old. "What costumes should we wear guys?"
"Actually, Timmy… I can't go trick-or-treating this year," said AJ.
"What?!" Timmy exclaimed. "Why not?"
"I've been requested to cut the ribbon at the opening of the new National Museum of Science," AJ explained.
"Oh. Well, I guess it's just you and me, Chester," said Timmy.
"I can't go trick-or-treating this year either," said Chester. "My dad got caught without his bag today, so I got to get back home immediately and defend our home from the angry mobs today."
As if on cue, a paper bag with eye holes cut in it, landed in front of them.
"Isn't that your dad's bag?" asked Timmy.
Chester gasped as he realized that something must have happened to his dad.
"I'm coming dad!" Chester declared before he ran home.
Suddenly, a limo drove up to Timmy and AJ and a butler stepped out of it.
"Mister AJ, the curator of the National Museum of Science has sent you a limo so you wouldn't miss the ribbon cutting," the butler said as he opened the back door.
"Well, have fun trick-or-treating, Timmy," AJ said before climbing into the limo.
The limo drove off and Cosmo and Wanda approached Timmy as squirrels.
"Don't worry, sport. You can go trick-or-treating with Chloe." said Wanda.
"Ok, 1) If I did that, people will think something romantic may happen and 2) She had to go out of town to visit her sick grandmother," said Timmy.
"Well, you can always wish for a friend," Cosmo suggested.
Timmy was then hit with flashbacks about the last time he made that wish. He had suffered through a thoroughly creepy experience back then and just thinking about it was enough to send a shiver down his spine. Timmy decided to get back on subject and sadly muttered, "I guess I'm going alone this year."
Meanwhile, in Royal Woods, Michigan, Lincoln Loud was in his room marking the neighborhood map. Lincoln finished his task and said, "Halloween is tonight and that means one thing… lots and lots of candy. But not everyone in the neighborhood gives out candy on Halloween. Mrs. Kane is a dentist so she gives out tooth brushes and explains the dangers of eating too much candy, Mr. Gee gives us turnips and last year Mr. Sorkin gave me and Clyde a rock. So this year, Clyde and did some investigating to find out which house actually gives out candy. Thanks to that, I was able to make the Lincoln Loud patented candy guaranteed Halloween map. I devised a route to make sure we hit all the candy houses and avoid the non-candy houses in record time. As soon as Clyde gets here, I'll relay the plan to him."
Lincoln then heard a knock on his door and opened it, where he found his older sister, Leni, standing on the other side.
"Hey Lincoln, I got your mail for you. It's from a Tummy Tinner," Leni said as she handed the envelope to Lincoln.
"It's Timmy Turner," Lincoln corrected.
"Oh. Who's Timmy?" asked Leni.
"He's my pen pal," Lincoln answered.
"Pen pal?" asked the confused 16-year old. "Is Timmy a pen?"
"No, a pen pal is a person who lives somewhere else and you stay in contact with them by writing them letters," Lincoln explained.
"You write to a pen that lives somewhere else?" asked Leni. "I didn't know pens could get mail."
The annoyed 11-year smacked his forehead and explained, "No, Timmy's not a pen, Leni. He's a kid."
"Oh… Hey I just realized that Timmy rhymes with Leni. You should tell him that," said Leni.
"Will do," said Lincoln.
Leni took her leave and suddenly tripped over her feet.
"Keep your eyes open!" said Lincoln.
Lincoln looked at the letter and said, "If you're wondering when I started writing to a pen pal, it all started last month. My teacher gave it us as an assignment to learn more about the world. Of course, with today's technological advances, we wanted to use our computers and stuff instead of writing letters, so Mrs. Johnson told us to prove that we actually are writing, we would have to bring an actual envelope from our pen pal to class. Though, I found a solution to that.
The first letter I wrote to Timmy was my 5020 video chat account and a few days later, we talked. He seemed like a pretty cool kid and we both agreed to write each other while video chatting. Though because of that, the letters usually have information we were already told."
Lincoln then heard the doorbell and rushed down the steps. Lincoln opened the front door and said, "Hey, Clyde. Nice pirate costume."
"Thanks," said Clyde. "I think it gives me an air of toughness."
Clyde noticed the letter Lincoln's holding and asked, "Got a new letter from your pen pal?"
"Yeah, I better tell him I got it," Lincoln said as they walked to the family computer.
Meanwhile, back in Dimmesdale, the dejected Timmy walked into his room before Cosmo and Wanda poofed in front of him. Timmy noticed that Cosmo was wearing his clothes and asked him why.
"I'm going trick-or-treating as someone who looks like they'll goes go alone," said Cosmo.
Timmy and Wanda shot a disapproving look Cosmo's way, causing him to wonder why. Timmy then heard his computer beep several times and walked over it to find that he had an incoming video chat. Timmy logged into his 5020 account and a window showing Lincoln popped up.
"Hey, Lincoln. What's up?" asked Timmy.
"I was just calling to let you know that I got your letter," said Lincoln.
Timmy noticed Lincoln's living room was heavily decorated with Halloween decorations and quipped, "You guys must really love Halloween."
"Oh that? My sister Lori is having a Halloween party tonight," Lincoln explained.
"I wish I could go to a Halloween party," said Timmy. "But I never get invited… at least without some help."
"Well, I'm not going to be here though. Me and Clyde are going to trick-or-treating together," said Lincoln.
Hearing Lincoln going trick-or-treating with a friend reminded Timmy that he has no one to go with, sending him into a state of depression. Lincoln noticed the depressed look on Timmy's face and asked what was wrong.
"My friends bailed on me, so I have no one to go trick-or-treating with," Timmy explained.
Timmy then got an idea and asked, "Hey, can I got trick-or-treating with you guys?"
"Well, that sounds great, but don't you live in another city? I don't know how you could get here in time for tonight," said Lincoln.
"Don't worry. I can make it," Timmy said confidently.
"Well, in that case, see you soon," said Lincoln.
Timmy terminated the connection and turned to Cosmo and Wanda.
"Alright guys, I need to find a costume before we poof to Lincoln's house," said Timmy.
"Isn't that the boy who has ten sisters?" asked Wanda.
"Yes, Wanda. The Loud House has 1 boy and 10 girls and Lincoln wouldn't trade it for the world," said a slightly annoyed Timmy. "Now let's find me a costume!"
"Well you could always go as Nomed," Cosmo suggested.
Wanda immediately covered Cosmo's mouth and flashed a suspicious smile.
"Who's Nomed?" asked Timmy.
"No one!" Wanda said, starting to sweat. "Who's Nomed? Is that some kind of deodorant or something?"
Wanda's suspicious behavior only made Timmy more curious and repeated his question.
"Seriously, I have no idea," said Wanda.
"I wish you'd tell me who Nomed is!" Timmy demanded.
Wanda knew she couldn't resist a wish and gave in.
"Dang it! Okay, Okay, I'll tell you," said Wanda. "A long time ago, there was this creature named Nomed that attacked Fairy World. We don't know what it wanted except that it wanted to drain our magic. Every Fairy it drained ended up turning to dust. Cosmo and I ran for our lives but I was eventually cornered. Nomed was about to drain me of my magic but Cosmo swooped in and tackled me out of the way before he fought Nomed.
"How bad was that defeat?" asked Timmy.
"Actually… Cosmo was winning," said Wanda.
"Wait, what?!" Timmy exclaimed.
Timmy couldn't believe what he heard. It was hard for him to believe that Cosmo would have had the upper hand against a creature that other fairies were afraid of.
"Cosmo was winning?!" asked Timmy.
"That's right. Nomed was no match for me," Cosmo said proudly.
Wanda leaned over to Timmy's right ear and whispered, "It was really his blunders and stupidity that gave him a fighting chance."
"That makes sense," Timmy said with a nod.
"When Nomed was weakened enough, The Fairy Sages sealed Nomed away forever," Wanda continued.
"Fairy Sages?" asked Timmy.
"They're the oldest and most powerful fairies in existence," Wanda explained.
"Where were these guys every time there was trouble?" asked Timmy.
"No one has seen them ever since they sealed Nomed away." Wand answered.
"Huh. Well, I guess it's a good thing Nomed isn't around now," said Timmy.
"If he was he would have to deal with me," said Cosmo. "No one will drain the magic of Fairies while Cosmo T. Kirk is around."
"Anyway… back to finding me a costume," said Timmy said with a chuckle.
