Chapter 1: Alchemy

"Turner! Wake up!" A voice yelled, waking me from my dream.

I slowly raised my head off my desk and turned my barely awake eyes to my teacher, the insane Mr. Crocker.

He looked at me and yelled, "Turner, you did it again! Falling asleep durning my leture about..."

"FAIRY GOD PARENTS!" His body sezied up as he yelled it.

Cosmo and Wanda sat on my desk diguised at little sketches.

Wanda looked up and said with a whisper, "You didn't miss much sport, just his usual rant and some science."

Crocker looked at me dead on and said, "Well you didn't see this coming Turner. I swear your 11 years old and still is igonaint as ever..."

He tossed me a book and said, "Today we were talking about the predo-sciences. Magic, crafting, and alchemy, are considered apart of how modern science was formed and you slept through it all."

I held up the book and read the cover aloud, " 'The Theories and Advancements of Alchemy'. And why do I need this for?"

Crocker laughed and said, "As punishment for falling asleep in my class, I want you to give an oral report and a demonstation of alchemy and it's, first thing Monday morning."

I looked up and said, "You can't be serious?! I don't know the first thing about it!"

He manically laughed and said, "Oh but I am, Turner. If you fail to turn it in, your semester grade is cut in half! So do the assignment or come back next year. Your choice Turner."

I smacked my head on the desk in frustation and said, "I wish school was over and nobody asked why."

Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands, and the time change to 3 o' clock.

The bell rang and we were relesed for the weekend.

I looked at my notebook as I walked down the side walk and said, "Man, this sucks! How am I suppose to learn and do this alchemy stuff in three days and do a demonstration?"

Cosmo smiled and said, "Well you could always wish to know about it."

I stopped and asked, "Did Cosmo have a good idea?"

Wanda shrugged and said, "Maybe, honestly I can't tell anymore..."

He laughed and said, "Well, are you going to wish for it?"

I sighed and said, "Maybe..."

I walked in to my house and saw my parents had left a note on the coffee table.

Timmy,

We went on a business trip, for the next 3 days.

Vicky is in charge and will be staying in the guest room the entire time we're are gone.

Please clean your room, while were gone. We'll bring you a gift when we return from our trip.

Love,

Mom and Dad

I groaned and said, "Great now I have to deal with Vicky..."

Vicky walked in and said, "Hey Twerp! Guess what time it is?"

I said with a groan, "Homework time, I've got a oral report on Monday on a dead science called alchemy."

Vicky laughed and said, "I was going to have you clean toilets, but thats a better torture!"

I groaned and said, "You and Mr. Crocker seem to have the same idea."

I walked up the stairs, walked into my room and slamed the door.

Cosmo and Wanda 'poofed' off the page and turned into their fairy-selves.

I looked at the book and opened the first page.

I read aloud, "Alchemy. The science of understanding, deconstructing and reconstructing matter."

"However, it is not an all powerful art. It is impossible to create something out of nothing."

"If one wishes to obtain something, something of equal value must be given. This is the law of equivalent exchange. The basis of all alchemy..."

I tossed it to the ground and said, "I don't have time to read all this alchemy crap, I've got better things to do."

I looked up at my fairies and gave a slight smirk.

Cosmo smiled and said, "Well, when ever your ready Timmy!"

I said with a smile, "I wish I know everything about alchemy!"

They rasied their wands and a small bit of information enter my mind.

I fell to the floor and writhed with pain as the know age seeped into my mind.

I saw a list of chemicals and some sort of drawing...

Then an eerie voice whispered out, "...Open the Gate...Enter the Truth... Equivalent Exchange...Learn the secrets...Reveal yourself Alchemist..."

I sat back up with a monster headache and my vision blurring.

Wanda looked at me asked, "Timmy are you alright?"

I looked at her and said, "It's gave me a dam headache, that's for certain."

"Other than that, I didn't get much on it, but I know how to get more..."

Wanda looked at me and said, "What do you need to do?"

I looked at her and said, "It's a special kind of alchemy, called Human Transmutation..."
