The Severed Bond

Chapter 1: Missing You

PoV: Wanda

Wanda floated down the streets of Fairy World with a troubled mind and a broken heart. The events of last week were still fresh on her mind still bothering her to no end. She silently floated down the sidewalk eyes glued to the ground not wanting to see her world without him. When she arrived at her destination she looked up and flashed a smile at the all too familiar doors that stood in front of her, the very doors her and her friends would push open to begin their night of fun. She opened the doors and entered the building.

The smell of pastries and the strong scent of coffee flooded her nostrils. Without hesitation Wanda headed towards the back of the crowded building and stood before an empty booth. She sighed before she sat down. Moving on the from the couple who sat in front of her she was approached by a male fairy waiter. She pictured Cosmo before her like the night she met him: His beautiful green eyes, his perfectly combed green hair, and his immense sense of humor. She was suddenly snapped from her daydream by a pair of snapping finger and an annoyed waiter. She nodded her head and with a smirk the waiter flew away, Wanda attempted to gather her thoughts when she was approached by this time an older man. He looked down at her and frowned "Why the long face Wanda?"

The woman sitting at the booth picked her head up to look at the person who addressed her meeting eyes with the Diner's owner Glen Roberts. Wanda flashed a quick smile before replying with a sigh and planting her head back down onto the table. The man's eyebrows raised at her reply, he glanced around before frowning at the lady "Where's Cosmo?" and at his remark Wanda began to sob uncontrollably, she replied sadly "Me and Cosmo are no longer together," Glen threw a look of confusion at Wanda, "What? Why? you two have been together as long as this diner has been opened! What happened?!"

"It all started with our godson Timmy Turner..." Wanda exclaimed.

FLASHBACK

Wanda could only stare at the smiling fairy who floated next to her, for the first time in forever Cosmo insulted Wanda leaving her stunned. She couldn't believe what had just been said, the words flowing out of his mouth hurt her more with every word and the fact that he found it amusing hurt her deeply. The noise of laughter from her godchild echoed in her ears, and the smiling face of her husband stained her vision. The two people she loved with all her life were insulting her and laughing at her, Wanda felt completely betrayed and for the first time she felt alone. This only continued and got progressively worse, the more time went on the worse the insults became and the more it tore at Wanda's heart.

She had been married to Cosmo for over 9,895 years and in that time, they developed a special spiritual bond that allowed them to communicate telepathically, which included sharing each other's pain, emotions, and feelings. What scared Wanda the most of all she could feel that bond growing weaker and weaker and each time it did it affected her leaving a sharp pain sent throughout her body. She could feel Cosmo fading away from her but couldn't do anything to stop it. Then one day it happened, Cosmo completely faded and the bond she had with him broke. She couldn't feel Cosmo anymore and the pain she felt was enough to stop her heart.

Every single day Wanda would wake up depressed and the only reason she got out of her bed was for Timmy. Whenever Cosmo attempted to make conversation with Wanda she would snap on him and eventually they would begin to scream at each other and it always ended with Cosmo calling Wanda a nag and then poofing from the room. When Wanda was finally ready she poofed from the fishbowl into her godson's room to find Timmy rolling on the floor laughing and Cosmo smiling viciously. Wanda would just sigh and throw on the fakest smile she could muster. Her godson eventually noticed Wanda's out of place behavior and tried to talk to her about it, but Wanda wouldn't open up to her godson. She wanted to tell Timmy everything: from Cosmo's out of place behavior to the "jokes" that hurt her physically and emotionally, and the broken bond between her and Cosmo. But it hurt too much and she had to stay strong for Timmy so she advised against it and attempted to change the subject.

Then it happened the night they had their final fight, the fight that ended it all. Timmy had wished for something totally irresponsible that if granted could have killed the boy. Wanda as usual tried to talk the boy out of it, letting him know it was a dangerous wish. Once she finished Cosmo stepped in assuring Timmy nothing was going to happen. Wanda finally exploded "COSMO YOU IDIOT, I'M TIRED OF YOU NEVER LISTENING TO ME, WHEN I MARRIED YOU I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST, I SAW SOMETHING SPECIAL IN YOU BUT I GUESS THAT WAS MY MISTAKE. YOU'RE JUST AS BIG OF A JERK AS THE REST OF THEM!" Cosmo looked completely stunned "I'M DONE WITH YOU BOSSING ME AROUND, I'M GONNA TAKE BACK MY LIFE!" Wanda gave Cosmo a death glare before poofing into the castle to collect her belongings.

As Wanda packed her bags she heard a poof come from behind her, she didn't bother turning around and continued to pack her belongings. Cosmo watched nervously as his wife packed her bags about to leave him all alone. The thought of Wanda leaving him, struck him with fear. He loved her, why didn't she love him? Cosmo couldn't piece it together, he was generally confused. He opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't remember how to speak. Wanda turned around a smirked at Cosmo before uttering her final words "Goodbye Cosmo Cosma, take good care of my godson!" and with that said Wanda poofed from the room, leaving Cosmo all alone with a broken heart.

End of Flashback

Glen planted a hand on Wanda's shoulder "I'm so sorry, I didn't know" Glen said discerningly. "Hey I know what will cheer you up, how about a big bowel of ice cream?" Glen questioned. Wanda gave Glen a warm smile, "Thanks Glen, I really appreciate it!" Glen smiled back at Wanda happy to know he could at least somewhat lighten her mood, he turned around and floated to the kitchen and pulled out a giant bowel which he filled with a swirl of flavors, and proceeded to glaze the ice cream in chocolate syrup just the way Wanda liked it. He floated back to the booth where Wanda still sat, she had been glancing out the window staring at the green leaves on the trees.

He placed the bowel in front of Wanda, she immediately took notice and smiled. He smiled to himself and turned to leave Wanda in peace so she could finish the ice cream, when he suddenly felt a hand grip his arm, he turned back to see Wanda with ice cream all over her face. She smoothly asked for his assistance in devouring the monster bowel of ice cream that sat before her. Glen was more than happy to agree and joined Wanda in the booth.

After they finished the tower of ice cream they wiped the ice cream off their faces and began to talk about their past. While Glen was talking about the history of the diner Wanda happened to glance out the window and caught glimpse of the all too familiar shade of green she once loved. Wanda blinked several times before turning her attention back to Glen when whatever it was, was finally gone. When they finally finished and there was nothing else to talk about the sun was beginning to set.

Glen being the gentleman he was offered to walk Wanda home which Wanda gladly accepted. They exited the diner and were met with a cool breeze that caused the pair to shiver. Glen removed his jacket and slowly wrapped it around Wanda. After walking some distance, they finally arrived at Wanda's house. Wanda unwrapped the jacket and handed it back to Glen.

"Thanks for today, it feels good to have someone to talk to!" She smiled warmly at him. Glen winked and smiled "No problem, see you tomorrow? If you want you can have more ice cream." Wanda smiled before waving to Glen and entering her house. As soon as Wanda entered her house Glen waited till he was out of view before he put his jacket back on, walking home he smiled the entire way.

That night Wanda laid in her bed wide awake like every other night. She began to think of everything that she left behind and out of those things she realized she abandoned one of the most important things in her life… Timmy. She pictured his face: those soft blue eyes that twinkled with life, those enormous buck teeth, and his wonderful smile that melted her heart. Although she could picture his appearance she couldn't hear his sweet and caring voice that soothed her worries. Wanda sat in her bed thinking how selfish she was for leaving him behind without as much as saying a goodbye.

She missed Cosmo and as much as she wanted to deny it she knew she wasn't over him. He was always on her mind. But, she doubted he felt the same. Cosmo was probably already over her... ready to move on. To him she would only remain as a dreadful memory of his past. But, even if these thoughts turned out to be true Wanda just hoped Cosmo was finally happy. If removing her from his life was enough to make him happy then Wanda was okay with it. Slowly a tear rolled down her face, and just like the night before Wanda laid in an empty bed... missing the warm loving arms of her husband.

"Please... don't forget me," Wanda whispered.
