DGG: Well, here it is. I think it's finally ready to be posted. It could probably still use a few minor tweaks here and there, but I'll obviously keep doing that before I post the chapters.
I honestly believe this story will get a little...weird, maybe? Oh well. I'm sure you'd tell me if it did. And that won't be until closer to the end of the story. Or maybe you'll think it starts out as weird...iono.
It's rated 'T' due to references to sex. I might have to up the rating though, but it's nothing too terrible.
This is set after the episode "Truth or Cosmoquences"...but that would be evident enough upon reading this chapter.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the FOP. If I did, and I had control over when it would get airtime, all the remaining episodes from season 7 would have aired already in the US. . Curse you, Nickelodeon!
Enjoy.
It was the 10,000 year reunion of the final graduating class of Carl Poofy Pants Fairy High School, and a lot had happened within the first two hours of the get-together. Cosmo, a green-haired fairy, nervously decided to attend the reunion with a little prodding from his wife, but the male had good reason for not wanting to see his old classmates again. Back in his school days he was bullied by everyone – mainly the popular kids; however, he was also picked on by jocks, cheerleaders, and nerds as well. The fear of being tormented by his fellow peers again caused Cosmo to create an elaborate lie. He fooled everyone at the reunion into believing he was a powerful billionaire tycoon. He had his wife, Wanda, pose as his dowdy, unmarried, personal secretary while his godchild, Timmy, pretended to be his faithful butler. He even went so far as to hypnotize the famous pop diva Britney Britney into posing as his beautiful, human trophy wife.
Everything was going great for Cosmo. Everyone respected, ogled, and admired him for the riches he claimed to possess, and they ate up everything he said as though they were tasty treats. Yes, Cosmo had grown very fond of the attention everyone was giving him as he dug himself deeper into his lies. There was only one person his lies were truly bothering, and that was his wife…his actual wife. Wanda was growing tired of the whole charade; however, she bit her tongue and allowed her husband to relish in the popularity that had completely eluded him back in high school. Everything was going great for Cosmo, at least until a certain Latino fairy showed up to the festivities.
Juandissimo Magnifico – a fairy with seductive violet eyes, sleek black hair pulled back into a ponytail, naturally tanned skin, well-toned muscles all over his body, and, of course, a sexy accent – was the only person there who had seen Cosmo since their high school days and knew that he was lying through his teeth. But rather than expose Cosmo as a fraud and humiliate his rival, Juandissimo decided to go along with the lies. After all, it was his chance to dance with Cosmo's "dowdy, unmarried, personal secretary," who just so happened to be his ex-girlfriend from high school – an ex-girlfriend he still pined after with all his heart.
Watching the two dance together finally caused Cosmo to snap. He summoned a dragon and burned Juandissimo to a crisp in a jealous rage. Then he revealed the truth to everyone. He told them that he wasn't really rich, and that he was actually a fairy godparent with his real wife, Wanda. But rather than get angry, everyone seemed proud of him; a few even told the truth about some lies they had been telling all night.
Thirty minutes had passed since then and things had quieted down considerably. All the fairies had gone back to mingling with one another. Timmy had even struck up a conversation with a few other fairies. Everyone was quite chatty except for a happy couple off in a deserted corner of the decorated gymnasium.
Cosmo and Wanda hovered in the corner quietly in each other's arms. The two secluded themselves from the rest of their peers shortly after Cosmo told everyone the truth. Now the two were snuggling contentedly in the corner. Wanda laid her head on her husband's shoulder while he rested his chin on top of her head. Anyone who happened to notice them smiled at the sight, and soon the onlookers would be on their way. The only onlooker who couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from the couple was Juandissimo.
He kept his distance as he watched them. A tight, painful feeling came over his chest at the sight of the wide smiles on their faces. The pain intensified as his eyes lowered from their smiles to their arms that wrapped around each other in a tight embrace. When he saw Wanda look up and start giving Cosmo many tiny pecks on the lips, he soon found he couldn't take this anymore. He quickly turned away from the scene but found that the action didn't really help. He still knew what they were doing behind him, and soon many other unwanted thoughts intruded in his mind. Quickly realizing he couldn't stay in the same room as the couple, he took out his magic wand and transported himself from the gym to a swanky dressing room in Fairywood.
The room was neat and tidy. There were various flowers around the room, a giant vanity, an assortment of expensive clothes hanging on a rack on the far side of the room, and a milk-filled hot tub with a certain blonde actress soaking inside. Juandissimo made his way to the blonde fairy whose head was propped up on a fluffy, white, rolled-up towel; even though cucumber slices covered her eyes, she knew all-too-well who had entered her room.
"What is it this time, Juandissimo?" she asked out of boredom and frustration. "Back to rant and rave about my sister again?"
"I just do not understand it, Blonda. Every other girl swoons over me. They beg me for dates. They chase me down the streets! But your sister," Juandissimo paused, choking on the words, "she…she completely ignores me!"
The actress sighed loudly, annoyed at having heard this story dozens of times before.
"Blonda, you should have seen them in the corner kissing. Wanda's lips should be crashing into mine! It should be my arms wrapped around her, not his!"
"Juandissimo, every time you get depressed you come here and whine about it, and you've been depressed more and more as of late. I'm tired of you constantly complaining about my sister. Just let it go. You're just going to have to face it. She loves an idiot. She's an idiot for choosing an idiot. They're both idiots. That makes them the perfect match for each other."
"But I just don't understand how she could have been going out with me and have fallen for Cosmo! I'm handsome, I'm sexy, I'm perfect in every way, yet she picked Cosmo!"
"Juandissimo, I stopped caring about what my sister did a long time ago. It's about time you did the same. Once you do, life will become so much easier."
"But I cannot!" Juandissimo covered his eyes with his arm dramatically. "She stole my heart and she keeps crushing it to pieces. She should be married to me not him! Oh, Blonda," he lowered his arm, "you should have seen the way they were acting tonight! Cuddling alone in a corner, kissing each other! Do you know what that means?"
"That you're far too obsessed with my sister and you need to quit coming here and ranting about it?" Blonda sighed as she attempted to relax again.
"It means they'll go home and…and…I don't even want to think about him touching her."
"So don't. Ew."
"But you don't understand! It just eats at me and eats at me! She had me all to herself. In high school we were the 'it' couple. Everyone was jealous of us and the love we shared! She looked muy bonita by my muy muy macho side. If she needed comfort, then she found it in my loving embrace. If she needed a beso, then it was my lips she turned to!"
Blonda chuckled while taking the cucumber slices off her eyes to look up at her guest.
"Kiss you? When did she ever want to kiss you? She barely let you touch her. What demented fantasy world are you living in, Juandissimo?"
"Maybe she did not kiss me in public, but when we were alone she would give the most passionate kisses. I could feel that we were meant to be together. But she chose Cosmo! Cosmo! The complete opposite of me! He's completely stupid and incredibly unattractive. He can't possibly take care of her!"
"Yet apparently he has been for nearly 10,000 years, Juandissimo. Face it. She dumped you. Maybe it's time for you to move on?" she asked, sounding hopeful.
"But Blonda, Wanda could have been my wife – mi esposa! And she should have been! I had asked her to marry me after we finished high school. She should have been in my arms tonight, and she should have been giving me kisses. She should be taking me home and making love to me, not Cosmo! He isn't worthy of her love!
"Blonda, I love your sister. She was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my sexy life with! Wanda completed me. She had the perfect man, but then she picked…a loser! How could she have fallen in love with someone so…so…idiotic?"
"I used to wonder about that same question. It used to plague all of my thoughts," said Blonda. "But once I stopped caring about Wanda's stupid choices I found that my life became so much simpler. Try it, Juandissimo. I bet you'll like it."
"But I need her!"
"Fine!" roared Blonda, finally unable to take anymore of his whining. "If you feel like your love was stolen from you, then why don't you go ask your buddy Cupid for help?"
The sexy male opened his mouth to argue; however, he stopped, his eyes widening as a look of realization came over his face.
"Of course! Why did I not think of it sooner?" he cried with a smile on his face.
"What? Asking Cupid? You hang out with him frequently and yet you've never thought of asking for his assistance?" Blonda raised an incredulous eyebrow.
"No, no, I have done that many times. He's refused to help me each time. It's just that you said my love was stolen from me."
"Yeah…so?" Blonda thought about it, then looked up into his violet eyes. "Are you suggesting that Cosmo literally stole her away from you?"
"That is exactly what I am suggesting. Think about it. Doesn't it seem logical that the only way a moron like Cosmo could ever win the love of a prize like Wanda is with the aid of a magic arrow?"
The actress mulled over his words for a moment.
"You know, I think you may be on to something, Juandissimo. Maybe Cosmo did get an arrow. He was the most unpopular kid in the entire realm…"
"Exactly!" The Latino interrupted. "I mean, I know Wanda has a big heart, but even she could not have truly liked Cosmo, at least not enough to actually want to go out with him! He had to have stolen an arrow to keep her by his side! It's so obvious. I cannot believe that I did not think of it sooner!"
"This is wonderful!" exclaimed Blonda. "Cupid will have to fix this. Oh, just think about it. If you were married to Wanda everyone would be happier. My father had approved of you two. I certainly approved of the two of you. Everyone had approved of the two of you. Everybody expected you two to get married, but then she suddenly chose Cosmo, shocked everyone, and made a lot of people angry, like our entire family. I don't think Big Daddy will ever forgive Wanda for marrying such a dunce. I mean she had her whole life ahead of her. She had the perfect boyfriend who loved her enough to commit his entire life to her, but she threw it all away for a moron. Go on, Juandissimo. Cosmo robbed you of your happiness; it's time you robbed him of his."
"You are absolutely right, Blonda!" the male smiled. "It is about time this wrong has been righted! Your entire family will thank me!"
"So what are you waiting for? Go tell Cupid."
"I am going right now. Wish me luck, Blonda. By this time tomorrow Wanda shall be back by my side!"
The Latino happily held up his magic wand and left the dressing room – much to Blonda's relief – and transported himself to the house of the universe's leading love expert.
