Merry (early) Christmas!
I just ADORE this song, and really wanted to a fic about it. (Even if it takes place in a HORRIBLE AU where Cosmo and Wanda aren't together).

If you're not familiar with it, the song is "Same Auld Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg.
(I really recommend listening to it because A: It's a 10/10 song and B: It'll really make this fic make more sense.)

I DO NOT OWN THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS OR THE SONG "SAME AULD LANG SYNE".

Same Old Lang Syne- A CW Songfic

"Brrr!" Cosmo shivered.

It was like a blizzard outside!

He quickly flew through the parking lot, and into the store.

It was Christmas Eve, and his Mama had forgotten to get milk! How is Santa supposed to eat his cookies without milk!?

Cosmo walked through the aisles, desperately searching for the milk.

However, as Cosmo passed the frozen foods aisle, he saw a familiar pink swirl.

His heart stopped and he ducked behind a tissue display.

Wanda… he thought to himself.

Cosmo's heart raced as he watched her. It had been forever since he'd last seen her.

Cosmo thought back to those days, and he smiled.

Wanda was his first, and only, girlfriend. Their relationship was truly the highlight of his life, and it was filled with love and laughter. He and Wanda did everything together, and were never apart for more than a day. She taught him how to study, and he taught her how to stop taking things so seriously. They were the perfect team, always there to balance each other out. They were quite obviously, hopelessly in love.

He frowned.

He hadn't seen her since they'd broken up in high-school… Well, since they were forced to break up in high-school.

Once Big Daddy found out Wanda was dating the school idiot, he immediately put a stop to it. He put a restraining order on Cosmo, sent Wanda off to boarding school, and intercepted any form of contact they could have had.

Big Daddy always has his way.

Cosmo had gone through a long period of depression after he and Wanda were ripped apart from each other.

He went days without eating, and barely talked to anyone- he was just an empty shell. He thought he'd never see her again...

So now, as he stood in the grocery store, his heart fluttered in his chest.

He slowly worked up the nerve to walk over to her, and he gently touched her on the sleeve.

Cosmo held his breath as she turned around to face him.

She looked confused for a moment, but that confusion was short lived as she recognized him.

Her eyes flew open wide, and she yelped in excitement.

"Cosmo!"

She practically leapt at him, spilling her purse in the process.

Cosmo gladly returned her massive hug as they both laughed uproariously, pulling each other closer, tears forming in the corners of their eyes.

Eventually they calmed down, and parted from their embrace.

"Hi Wanda!" Cosmo greeted.

"Hello to you too!" Wanda laughed as she wiped away a stray tear. "What a surprise!"

Wanda knelt down to pick up her things and was surprised when a hand grabbed hers.

"I'm so glad you're here."

Wanda blushed. "I'm glad you're here too Cosmo."

They gathered up Wanda's things and made their way over to the checkout line.

They stood there awkwardly as her food was totaled up and bagged.

Neither of them could believe that this had happened- WAS happening.

Cosmo couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was the most beautiful woman in the entire universe, and he was helpless to do anything but stare.

He missed her so much. Time had healed the brutality of their break up, but it hadn't healed the fact that he missed her every day.

Wanda was trying her best to hide her excitement.

She'd missed Cosmo dearly, and seeing him again was a dream come true.

She noticed how he was looking at her, and she blushed heavily.

Cosmo always looked at her like she was the only thing in the universe that mattered. She couldn't believe that he still looked at her like that all these years later...

Cosmo rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, and Wanda stood there mindlessly playing with her hair.

Every so often, one of them would speak or make a joke, but for the most part, their conversation dragged.

Cosmo grabbed Wanda's bags for her, and walked her out to her car.

"So, are you in a hurry?" Cosmo asked her as she opened her trunk.

"No, not at all."

"Would you… maybe wanna get a drink?"

Wanda smiled warmly. "I'd love to."

They finished loading up the car, and drove off.

After driving around for 20 minutes, they gave up on finding an open bar. They did, however, find an open liquor store.

They bought a six pack of beer, and drove to an empty parking lot.

When they arrived, Wanda killed the engine, and they went and sat in the back seat together.

Cosmo handed her a can.

Wanda smiled.

He had always been so thoughtful and sweet with her.

She had missed him so much more than she realized.

After their breakup, Wanda was devastated. It took her years to get over it, and to finally give dating a shot again. But she knew she'd never love any one they way she loved Cosmo. She loved everything about him. Their relationship was pure love between two young, innocent fairies.

They cracked their cans open, and Wanda raised hers. "To innocence."

Cosmo raised his. "To right now."

They clanked cans and began to drink.

After they'd each finished their first can, they began to talk more. They tried to reach beyond their past and enjoy this moment together.

"So, what have you been up to all these years?" Cosmo asked her.

Wanda frowned.

She was having such a nice time with Cosmo and when he brought up her home life, she was reminded how unhappy she was.

"I'm married." Wanda said blandly.

"Oh…" Cosmo said. "Who's the lucky guy?"

"Wandissimo Magnifico, he's an architect." she mumbled.

"Oh, that's good!"

"Yeah, he keeps a roof over our heads."

"He sounds great." Cosmo said unenthusiastically.

"Oh, yeah. He's… great."

Wanda shifted uncomfortably. To be entirely honest, she hadn't been happy in her relationship for a long time.

Her marriage was completely loveless.

Sure, Wandissimo provided for her. But what did it matter if she knew all those late nights "at work" were just him fooling around with some other chick?

She wanted to leave, but she was scared of what would happen.

Her father would be furious, he thought that they were perfect together. He would never understand her leaving him.

Cosmo noticed her change in demeanor, and wanted to change that.

He slid over to her and moved a stray piece of hair away from her face.

"You still look just as beautiful as you did back then."

Her eyes shot up to meet his.

"And you're eyes are still as amazing as I remember."

Wanda smiled halfheartedly.

She loved the attention from him, but she was still dwelling on her relationship.

In the half hour they'd been together, Cosmo made her feel more loved than Wandissimo ever could.

Wandissimo never said anything kind to her, never even paid attention to her.

It almost made her doubt that Cosmo meant what he'd just said.

But it was Cosmo… He always meant what he said.

She smiled at him and raised her can again.

"To time!" she laughed.

Cosmo joined her in laughter, and they toasted once again.

After another hour and a half of laughing a joking, they'd run out of beer, and quite honestly, things to say.

"Well, I should probably get going." Cosmo said sadly.

"Yeah…" Wanda agreed.

"Here." Cosmo pulled out a pen and wrote on the back of his receipt from earlier. "We should do this again."

"Oh, you finally moved out of your mother's?" Wanda asked as she glanced at the address he'd written down.

"Yep! I got an apartment right down the street at Fairy Plaza." He stated proudly.

"Good for you!" Wanda said cheerily.

They sat in silence for a while, each of them lost in their own thoughts.

"Well, I guess I gotta go." Cosmo said.

"Guess so."

"Bye Wanda."

Cosmo slid over to the door, but was stopped.

"Cosmo wait," Wanda said frantically.

Cosmo turned around, and was shocked when Wanda leaned in and kissed him.

They both sighed into their kiss, and it ended far too soon for each of them.

"Bye Cosmo." Wanda said quietly.

They both got out of the car, and Wanda returned to the driver's seat.

"Take care Wanda."

And with that, she drove off.

Cosmo stood there for a while, watching her car until it was completely gone from his sight.

Cosmo took a deep breath. This was a pain he never wanted to feel again.

It was like he was back in school, back to that day that he and Wanda were separated.

Except this time it was worse, because now she was married. Sure, they'd still get to see each other, but it would have to be different.

He had officially lost her forever.

He turned around to make his way back home.

He trudged through the snow for a while, and began to sing to himself.

"Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind..."

"Ha..." He huffed. As if… I never stop thinking about her…

"Should old acquaintance be forgot and old lang syne…"

The snow turned into a light drizzle, and Cosmo sighed heavily.

Me: *Casually sobs*
