Author's Note: Finally posted this thing up. I've always wondered how Cosmo and Wanda first met- they're such an oddly perfect couple! I tried to add in as much movie reference as possible to make it true to its origins, but I do like adding my own spin. Unfortunately, I haven't watched any recent episodes so for now I'm a little rusty on the new stuff being revealed on the show. Keep in mind I do appreciate the reviews and if you by chance are also curious to know the stories behind one or two there Fairy World related Tid Bits, I would be more then happy to somehow add it into the story. Alright this is going to be quite lengthy, so brace yourselves ladies and gents.
The chiming of the afternoon bells resounded throughout the door-less corridor of Carl Poofy Pants High School and out of the gentle "poof"ing of the fairy students maneuvering to their final class of the day, one fey in particular stood out. His bright green shock of hair is a bit of a mess but his open features give one the impression that he is an agreeable fellow who smiles easily. Though at the moment, he seemed to be having some difficulty squeezing through the crowd as gracefully as his schoolmates without getting trampled.
When he finally managed to push away from the mainstream, he floated to one of the massive bulletin boards located along the hallway and fished a hopelessly crumpled piece of paper from his pocket. Using his leg and the palm of his hand to smooth it out as best he could, the fairy held it up at arms length to compare with the hundreds of flyers pined by magic on the wall. His eyes jumped from one brightly colored announcement to the next uncertainly. Of course most of the other students would have had no trouble finding a school map if they needed one; the layout of the campus was very basic and easily to explain. But Cosmo was not most of the other students- especially when they did not get lost four times trying to figure out where the "Beginners Beginning Foreign Government" class was half way through their third year of school.
A glittering banner just off the center of the board caught his attention and he squinted to read what it said. Cosmo wasn't blind, but he found that narrowing his eyes (as well as floating upside down) was an excellent way to read, despite the disapproving objections made by his teachers.
In fact if it weren't that Cosmo Julius Cosma was the last fairy born he wouldn't have been able to get away with a lot of his "methods". But the Fairy Council had demanded patience for Cosmo's sake, attempting to avoid any more complaints from the disgruntled educators who found him overly problematic ("besides," one of the elders of the council had pointed out with a wheeze "look on the bright side: he is the worst that could happen"). The students took advantage of the teachers' indifference Cosmo was happier being a regular acne-covered teenager ignored at Carl Poofy Pants even if it meant he was unpopular. At least it was better then being back at the Fairy Military Academy where his very presence was enough reason to be assigned toilet duty. It was this sunny disposition made him incapable of noticing or caring if he was a little weird much as he was now, still trying to read the banner (squinting with his head slightly turned to the right) until finally making out the words "Graduation Coronation Celebration".
The event itself was still too far into the future for the announcements to begin, but the Coronation was such a big deal no doubt many of the graduating fairies would speak of nothing else throughout the year. He sighed as he stared at the lively banner, imagining himself going to the dance with someone special, all dressed up, drinking punch…lots of punch…
The second bell announcing the beginning of class echoed in the now empty halls as Cosmo snapped out of his daydream, looking around. He realized that once again he was late and quickly "poof"ed himself away, though where exactly "away" was not even he could say with certainty.

Mr. Wingston folded his arms as he carefully watched is "Advanced Fairy Government" class float into the auditorium before him. There were only a few fairies but Mr. Wingston, who didn't allow nonsense, had paired up the students in an attempt to keep order. The auditorium was beautifully decorated, extended to allow the multiple talent agents of the many professions to be represented in the Career Fair. As the class dispersed, two fairies wandered straight to the higher government positions. They were friends, to a degree, and both agreed to look at the ranking positions first and work their way down.
"What do you think of being a member of the Rule Book Council?" ask one of the fairies. She was a tall beauty with clear blue eyes and wavy turquoise hair pinned up expertly to show off her features. She aimlessly picked one up one of the brochures scattered on the booths before, clearly uninterested.
"No, I don't want to spend my whole life on nothing but rules," replied the second fairy to her companion. Though wasn't quite as pretty as her friend, but she was still lovely with her rosy hair tied up attractively and warm pink eyes inspection the posters that decorated the tables.
"Well that's exactly why you join the RBC, to make sure there's less rules..." said the blue fairy.
"What about the Culture Expert of Yugopotamia, Joan?" said the pink fairy, ignoring the last comment.
"Ugh, that dump? Wanda, I'd rather be the Head of the Complaint Division in Pixie World then sent off to that marsh pit."
Wanda Venus Fairywinkle smiled to herself and she flipped the pages of a Head Sub-Division Council Member profile. Joan was always the one who went for the more glamorous things in life. She wouldn't be surprised if she appealed to be some sort of superficial Head of Department if it meant she would still somehow grace the tabloids throughout the Fairy World. As for Wanda…a sigh escaped her as she passed a booth offering open position in the Media Corporation in Elysia. Wanda didn't know what she wanted to do yet. It was her last year at Poofy Pants High and, despite the exulting rumors Wanda's classmates had come to believe, she didn't have an elaborate and bright future entirely planned out before her. In fact, she had no clue what she was going to do with her life. Joan had always joked that Wanda would be the next High Council Member and Wanda's sister Blonda was sure Wanda would end up being the head of an unnamed far-flung galaxy or something. Goodness knows Wanda had the brains for it.
"Hey Wanda, you mind if we move on to the Entertainment section? The politics is beginning to get to me."
"Okay, did you see anything you liked?"
"Well that guy over at the Wand Operations table was quite charming…"
"Come on, lets keep moving" Wanda said as she led Joan onward.
