Us? Jealous?

Part 1

"Poof!" Wanda called her child. "Grandma's on her way!" Poof poofed in front of his mom.

"Grandma?" He asked, sounding not to thrilled. "Again?" His tone worried his mother.

"You don't sound excited about this."

"This is the fifth time this month." Wanda was confused.

"You love going to Grandma's Poof, despite my deep hatred towards her."

"I do, Mom. But, it seems like I've been going there a lot over the last few years. Why can't I stay here?"

"Why can't you go over there? I already called her over."

"Because I want to stay with you, Dad, Timmy, and Chloe. Sparky and I've been gone a lot that I hardly know anything about her."

"Oh, honey. We're Chloe's godparents too, remember? I don't want to have to watch you and Sparky, as well as Timmy, Chloe, and your dad."

"But, why? I'm pretty independent. You don't have to watch over me." Sparky then came into the room.

"I bet Sparky's excited." Wanda called the fairy dog. "Hey, Sparky! You're excited about going over to Mama Cosma's don't you?" Sparky looked at her and Poof. He smiled, tail wagging.

"Boy am I ever; I'm so excited! I love her; she's a good woman. I can't wait to go! Sometimes, if they're any left, she gives me human food!" He then realized something. "Oops; I wasn't supposed to tell you that."

"But, don't you think we go there way too much? I mean, we go there so much that we practically live there now!" Poof told Sparky. "Don't you want to stay here, and get to know Chloe more?" Sparky was confused.

"Who?"

"See? You've been over there so much that you don't know about the neighbor girl that Timmy shares my mom and dad with!"

"Timmy shares Cosmo and Wanda with a neighbor?"

"I suppose you can stay here if you want Poof." Wanda said to her son. "But, it'll break your Grandma's heart."

"There's be plenty more times I'll see her. It's not like she's going anywhere." Wanda sighed.

"I suppose that's true." She looked at Sparky. "What do you say Sparky? Do you want to stay here?"

"Well, I hate to break the woman's heart, but I do want to get to know this Chloe."

"Okay. I'll have to call her back up then, and tell her you two want to stay." Wanda was about to go call her mother-in-law when she appeared between them all.

"MAMA!" Cosmo yelled, flying over to her.

"SON!" Mama Cosma shouted in her English accent with joy. The two fairies hugged each other. "And how is my loving son doing today?"

"I'm doing great, Mama."

"That's nice to hear." She looked at Poof and Sparky. "Is my grandson and my son's godson's dog ready for another great day at Grandma's?"

"Actually, Mama Cosma," Wanda began telling her. "Poof and Sparky wants to stay here today. So, it looks like you poofed over here for nothing." Mama Cosma looked crestfallen.

"Oh, I see" She said, sadly. She looked at Poof. "Did your mom put you up to this?" Poof shook his head.

"No, Grandma," He told her. "Sparky and I want to stay here. No offense, we love you, and all, but we have been going to your house a lot lately; we want to stay here to get to know Chloe better." Mama Cosma was confused.

"Who's Chloe?"

"She's the god kid who Timmy shares us with." Cosmo explained. "Bet you never heard 'Timmy' and 'Share' in the same sentence before, huh? But believe it or not, it's true!" Mama Cosma then remembered.

"Oh, Chloe, that's right. I forgot about her." She then looked at Poof and Sparky again. "So, you two really want to stay here?"

"Yes, Grandma." Poof replied. "I'm sorry. Hopefully you're understand."

"Oh, I understand." She then looked at Sparky. "You want to stay here, Sparky? You don't want to come with me?" She then poofed up a dog bone. "Not even for a Sparky treat?" Sparky panted.

"Gee, thanks!" He wolfed it right out of her hand. He swallowed, licking his chops. "That sure was delicious."

"I have more at my house if you like." Sparky got excited again.

"Really?!" He then saw Poof's expression, and backed down. "As tempting as that sounds, I'm gong to have to decline. Sorry." Mama Cosma pretended to be okay with this.

"You just stay here, and get to know this Chloe girl. I'll just go home. I'll see you on another day then." They said their goodbyes, Mama Cosma and Cosmo shared a kiss and another hug, and she poofed away.

Just then, Timmy came into the room, throwing his backpack on the floor. The fairies and Sparky all went over to him.

"Hi, guys!" Timmy greeted. He then looked at Poof and Sparky. "Why are you guys here? Wanda said you two would be at Mama Cosma by now."

"Mama come to get them," Cosmo started to explain to him. "But they wanted to stay here to get to know Chloe."

"Oh." Timmy was confused. He looked at them. "Don't you two already know Chloe?" So, he explained it to him.

"Oh, yeah," He agreed. "I suppose you and Sparky have been gone a lot that you haven't bonded with her as much."

"Exactly!" Poof said.

"Well, bye! I hope you two have a good time with her." He prepared to leave. Poof was puzzled.

"You're not going with us?"

"No. I don't want to intervene. I have a lot of homework to do."

"And I'll stay to make sure you do it!" Wanda said. Timmy frowned.

"Aw, man! Wanda, you know me too well."

"And I'll go with them!" Cosmo volunteered. "Because, no offence Timmy, but, your homework is boring."

"No offence taken." Cosmo waved to Timmy and Wanda.

"Okay, bye; I'll make sure these two play, and get home safely!"

"Be home by…" Wanda started. Cosmo, Poof, and Sparky poofed off. "dinner." She turned to Timmy. "Okay Timmy, homework time!" Timmy sighed.

"I rather hang out with Chloe."

"Too late." They went off.

"Hi, Chloe!" Cosmo greeted as soon as he, Poof, and Sparky poofed into her room. Chloe was reading a book. When she saw the fairies, she screamed and fell out of bed. "Oh, Chloe, are you alright?" Chloe stood up, and glared at Cosmo.

"Cosmo, you scared me. You just can't poof into my room like this."

"Oh, sorry." He gestured towards Poof and Sparky. "Chloe, I like you to meet Po…"

"I know who they are. They're your son, Poof, and Timmy's fairy dog, Sparky. Man; it's been a while. How are you?"

"Great!" Poof answered with a smile. She then was confused.

"Aren't you usually at your grandmother's?"

"Well, she's not my grandma." Sparky pointed out. "But, yes, but for today, we wanted to hang out with you."

"Aw, that's nice."

"So, can we?" Poof asked. He explained it to her why they wanted to hang out.

"Yeah, we can totally hang out."

"Great! So, what do you want to do?"

"Now? Well, I have a book to finish for book club, then I got to type up the book report, but after that, sure!"

"How about you do your homework later?" Cosmo asked. "We traveled all this way."

"Cause she's not Timmy, Dad." Poof answered for her. "Okay, Chloe, how long?"

"Well, I'm on the last two pages, so, 15 to half an hour?"

"Okay, we'll find something to do here in the meantime."

"Perfect! It's settled then." She went off to read again. Poof looked at his father.

"You can leave now, Dad."

"No can do, son! I told your mother that I'd watch you two, and make sure you'll get home safely." Poof rolled his eyes.

"We'll be fine, Dad! We'll be home when we're done over here."

"Well, okay, if that's what you want. Play safe, and no fart jokes. Girls hate that for some reason." Poof rolled his eyes again.

"And every mature creature on the planet."

"Okay, love you! Can I have a hug?"

"I'm not going to war, Dad."

"And don't! War is ugly son, very ugly!"

"Okay, Dad. Bye!"

"Bye, Cosmo!" Sparky waved a paw. "I'll make sure nothing comes to harm to your son." Poof groaned, as Cosmo waved goodbye, and poofed away.

Chloe closed her book, and went to her pink laptop. Sparky perked up.

"You're done, Chloe?"

"With her book, Sparky." Poof told the fairy dog. "Now, she has to do her book report, then she can play with us, remember?" Sparky's ears drooped, and he lowered his head.

"Oh, right." Poof ushered Sparky over to him. "Come on, Sparky, let's decide what we do while we wait."

"Right!" And so, the dog with over to him.

"And, done!" Chloe said, when she put her report in her backpack. "Okay, what do you want to do?" She saw that Poof and Sparky were playing with her toy horses and dolls. Poof wasn't too thrilled about this as Sparky was. Sparky had poofed a doll on one of the horses, and was pretending the doll was riding on it. She made the doll hug the horse's mane.

"Oh, I just love riding with you, Honeycoat." Sparky said in a high voice. "You're my favorite horse in all of Honey Ranch." He whinnied for the horse. He spoke in his normal voice again. "Man, this is fun!" Chloe cleared her throat. Poof and Sparky looked at her.

"Guys, I'm done now. I'm ready to play."

"Oh, thank goodness!" Poof said.

"Yay!" Sparky cheered, dropping the doll and the horse as they both zoomed towards her. "So, Chloe, what are we going to do? Huh? I hope it's something fun!"

"I was thinking we paint the birdhouses my parents and I got from the store!" Poof groaned.

"That's great!" Sparky hissed. He then was confused. "Why do they build homes for birds and dogs, but not for tigers, bears, elephants, lions, and so on? Well, I suppose they don't need houses because they have them in nature, but, still, it's a random act of kindness that we animals appreciate all so much. Anyway, as long as we spend time with you Chloe, I'll be satisfied no matter what!" Poof held up his rattle.

"You know, Chloe." He began. "I'm magical just like my parents. I, too, can grant wishes. I can poof paint on the birdhouses if you want." Chloe thought about it, and shook her head.

"Tempting, but no. That'll be like cheating. I want to paint my birdhouse with love."

"You can. You can paint it with love and magic! I think the birds will like that." Again, Chloe shook her head.

"I want to build it with my own two hands, and I think you should do the same." She looked at Sparky. "And you can paint too, Sparky. If you can that is." Sparky got excited.

"Whatever you say Chloe!"

"You know," Poof said to her. "Sparky can do magic too."

"Cool. Now, let's go paint some birdhouses! They're in the garage." Poof sighed.

After they got done with the birdhouses, Chloe played fetch with Sparky, and rubbed his tummy. The fairy dog loved this very much. Poof, however, was bored.

Chloe was then called for dinner.

"Comin', Mom!" She called to her mother. She looked at the two magical creatures. "Well, guys, I have to go. Do you two want to come for dinner? Poof, you can poof into a cute boy, and Sparky, you can be a stray dog I found."

"Oh, no." Poof said. "That's okay. I think we'll eat at home."

"It's okay, Poof." Sparky assured him. "I think Chloe is inviting us to eat with her family. She's not going to eat us." Poof looked irritated at him.

"I got that, Sparky."

"Are you sure you don't want to eat with us? I'm sure my parents won't mind."

"No, that's okay. Thanks, anyways."

"Okay! See you later."

"Yeah, see you later."

"Bye, Chloe!" Sparky said. With that, he and Poof poofed home.

"We're back!" Sparky announced when they were back in Timmy's bedroom.

"Great!" Wanda said. "How did you like Chloe? What did you do?"

"It was wonderful! We painted birdhouses, and Chloe rubbed my tummy, and played fetch with me!"

"Terrific!" She looked at her son. "Poof? Did you have a good time?"

"No, I had an awful time! It was dull and boring." Wanda frowned.

"Oh, honey, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your time. But, maybe if you spend more time with her, I'm sure you'll like her."

"I guess."

"I was wondering why you wanted to go spend time with her." Timmy piped up.

"Timmy!" Wanda scolded.

"What? I just wondered is all." Poof got mad. He shot a look at Timmy.

"I just wanted to see if I could bond with her, okay?!" Timmy held his hands up in defense.

"Okay, sorry I asked."

"Grandma?" Poof asked when she and Sparky, on a leash, picked him up from school the next day. "Why are you here?"

"Your parents are with Chloe and Timmy. Your mom asked me to pick you up, and take you home."

"Again?" Mama Cosma nodded. "Your mom said you had a terrible time with her yesterday, is that correct?" Poof nodded.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean I wanted to spend time with her. I wanted to give her another chance."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, go tell your parents about it. In the meantime, come with me. I bought some new games for us to play."

"Me too?" Sparky questioned. Mama Cosma laughed.

"Of course you too."

"Alright!"

"Sparky, why are you here?" Poof asked the fairy dog. "You enjoyed your time yesterday."

"I wanted to be with you." Poof smiled.

"Aw, that's sweet."

"Yeah, plus I just can't pass up on her yummy-in-the-tummy biscuits!" He licked his chops as if to prove his point. "I'm hungry for them just thinking about them!"

"Well, I'll give you one right away when we get home." Sparky was excited.

" I can't wait!"

"So, Poof, how was Grandma's?" Wanda asked after Mama Cosma poofed home after dropping him and Sparky off. Poof shrugged.

"Okay, I guess. We played some new games that Grandma brought."

"That's good."

"But it would have been better if I was with you instead." Wanda was confused.

"You didn't enjoy your time yesterday with her. I just thought…"

"I still want to hang out with you guys, Mom. I want to give her another chance."

"I want to give her another chance too." Sparky added. They all looked at him.

"You enjoyed her last time." Poof reminded the dog. "You don't have to give her another chance."

"I still want to hang out with her again."

"Okay," Wanda declared. "We'll all hang out with Chloe tomorrow." She smiled. "I'm proud of you for speaking up, Poof, and wanting to spend time with her."

"Aw, thanks, Mom."

"And here I thought three was a crowd." Timmy stated.

"Well, the ten of us will just have a party!" Cosmo said.

"Uh, Cosmo," Timmy pointed out to his clueless godfather. "There's going to be six of us. Chloe, you, me, Wanda, Poof, and Sparky."

"Really?" Cosmo asked. "Well, hmm, well in a few years, who knows? Then there might be ten of us."

"Gosh, I hope not." Timmy said. "If we were a cartoon, and we keep adding new main characters, other characters absent because they just want to focus on the new character, people won't like us anymore. We'll go downhill for sure! People will want our show to die, and go off the air." Cosmo laughed.

"That'll never happen in a billion years; oh, Timmy, you make me laugh, and that's why I love you!" Timmy rolled his eyes.

Poof and Sparky spent the whole week with Chloe, along with Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda. Chloe mainly did things with Cosmo, Wanda, Sparky, and Timmy, leaving out Poof by himself. She invited him, but Poof didn't want to join.

"So, I have an announcement." Chloe said to them one day as they started to leave.

"What it is, Chloe?" Wanda wanted to know.

"My parents and I are going to Feed my Hungry Kids next week. Anybody want to come with? You, your son, and Cosmo can disguise yourselves as human kids. I can tell my parents you're my friends, and I invited you. So, you want to come?"

"Oh, sure." Wanda answered with a smile. "You know I can't say no if it means doing good in the world." Chloe smiled.

"Excellent!"

"Can I come?" Sparky questioned. Chloe looked at him.

"Not if you can't turn human. They don't allow dogs. And it's Feed the Hungry Kids, not 'Feed the Hungry Fairy Dogs', If you think you'll going to be tempted, you'd better stay back." Sparky sighed.

"Figures!" Wanda looked at Poof.

"Poof? You want to go?" Poof shook his head.

"No, Mom." He said. "You all have fun without me." Wanda was puzzled over this.

"Really?"

"Yes, Mom, really."

"Well, okay. If that is what you want."

"I'll keep Poof company." Timmy said. "We can play video games or something."

"Okay, well, we'll come Chloe, Cosmo and I that is. Tell your parents."

"Okay!" They all said their goodbyes to Chloe, then the fairies, and Timmy poofed home.

"Man, I hate Chloe!" Poof said to Sparky when his parents were in the fish bowl. Sparky looked confused at him.

"You do? Why? Hate is a strong word you know."

"Okay, I don't hate Chloe; I dislike her!"

"Why?"

"She stole Timmy and my parents from us."

"What do you mean?"

"Ever since Jorgen assigned my parents to Chloe as well, we are sent to Grandma's."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, but I'm their son! I should spend more time with my parents, and you should spend time with your owner, don't you think?" Sparky nodded.

"Yeah; you have a point there, Poof."

"I wish Chloe wasn't assigned to my parents and Timmy had them to himself again. Chloe's happy. She's not miserable, so why does she need fairies? I don't understand that."

"Yeah, me neither. It's too bad you can't grant your own wishes." Poof sighed.

"Yeah."

"Or make Chloe disappear. That'll just be evil."

"Yeah."

"Or pretend Chloe is bad, so she does bad stuff to Cosmo and Wanda, making them quit their jobs as her godparents."

"Yea…wait, what did you say?"

"Or pretend Chloe is…"

"I know what you said."

"You do?" Poof nodded, and then formed a mischievous grin. "Uh-oh! I don't think I like that look!"

"Sparky, we're going to turn Chloe into such a rotten godchild that my parents will want to quit being her god parents."
