A Wish Too Far
The Alter Ending
(We are on the school bus and we see Chester, A.J., and Timmy.)
Chester: Hey A.J.!
A.J.: Yeah?
Chester: Why did the orange go to the doctor?
A.J.: Who cares? It's just gonna end in a pun.
(Just then, the bus stops and Timmy looks out the window and sees Trixie Tang.)
Timmy: Oh my gosh! It's her! Trixie Tang!
Chester: Here we go again.
(Chester and A.J. mimic Timmy's every move as he talks.)
Timmy: She's the prettiest girl in school and today, she's gonna sit next to me!
A.J.: What makes today different?
Timmy: Today, she's gonna have a place to sit!
(Timmy pushes Chester and A.J. off the bus seat, and puts a reserved sign for Trixie in their place.)
Trixie: (She gets on.) Ahem!
Bus Driver: Oh! Sorry! (He speaks into the announcer.) Ladies and gentlemen, the lovely and popular, Trixie Tang! (As he talks spotlights light up and a disco ball appears.)
(Trixie walks past the seats in the bus.)
Tad and Chad: Hi, Trixie!
Trixie: Hello, popular boys, Tad and Chad.
(Tad and Chad sigh contentedly and slump down on their bus seats. Trixie then walks past Veronica.)
Veronica: Hey, Trixie!
Trixie: Hello, popular girl, yet less popular than me, Veronica.
(Trixie then walks past Timmy.)
Timmy: Hey, Trixie!
Trixie: Hello, empty bus seat.
Timmy: Darn it! Why doesn't she like me?
(Chester and A.J. pull away the reserved sign and get back on their seats.)
Chester: Dude, you're not popular!
A.J.: You see, popularity charts work out like this. (A.J. pulls out a pie chart.) Rich kids, 58%. Unpopular kids, 27%. Jocks, 20%.
Timmy: Where am I on the chart?
A.J.: (He points to the 'other' section on the chart.) 'Other' with me, Chester and that kid with the boil.
Elmer: Hi, Trixie!
Trixie: (She talks to him as she walks past.) Hello, other empty bus seat.
Timmy: Popular, huh? I can do that...
(That's when the scene changes to the cafeteria where it's lunch time. At the popular kids table, there a violinist playing. Timmy gets his lunch and he walks to the popular kids table.)
Popular kids: We're so popular!
Timmy: Uh...hi, everybody!
(Veronica glares at Timmy.)
Veronica: Guys, I keep glaring at him but he won't leave!
Tad: Group glare!
(At those words, all the popular kids glare at him while Timmy just stands there.)
Veronica: It's not working!
Chad: Quick! Plan B!
(The popular kids lift up their table and carry it away. Then the violinist goes to stand beside Timmy while playing a sad melody. The scene changes to the school hallway, where Timmy walks past the toilets.)
Timmy: (He reads the signs on the toilets' door, as he walks past.) 'Girls'. 'Boys'. "Popular girls"! "Popular boys"!
(Timmytries to go in the popular boys' toilet the Bouncer comes out and stops him.)
Bouncer: Whoa, hang on there, little not-popular boy. Denied.
Timmy: Aw, come on!
Bouncer: Don't blame me, blame the chart.
(The scene changes to Timmy's house, in his bedroom.)
Timmy: I can't believe I'm not popular!
Cosmo: Sure you are, Timmy! Your friends love you and so do we!
Wanda: Just look at our chart! (She holds up the chart.)
Timmy: 99.9% Timmy...0.1% other. What's the other?
Cosmo & Wanda: Timmy!
Timmy: Duh, you guys are my Fairy Godparents! You're supposed to love me. Lemme think... what do these popular kids have that I don't?
Cosmo: Besides the clothes and the looks and the money and stuff?
Timmy: Hey! That's it! You guys could give me that stuff to make me popular!
Wanda: But you'd be making friends for the wrong reason!
Timmy: So?
Cosmo: Well, you can't beat that logic!
(The scene changes to outside Timmy's house, the next morning.)
Mr. Turner and Mrs. Turner: Bye, Timmy! Have a nice day at school! (And with that, they drive off in the car.)
Timmy: Okay, you guys, my parents are gone! Come on out!
(Cosmo and Wanda as squirrels jump out from a bush.)
Cosmo: Hey, Timmy! You should see the nuts we just-
Timmy: Upupup, bus coming, popularity needed. Move it.
Wanda: You could say please!
Timmy: Fine. Please move it! I wish I had clothes like the popular kids.
(Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands and 'poof' up popular clothes for him.)
Timmy: Yeah!
Wanda: Uh, Timmy...aren't there two words you'd like to say?
Timmy: You're right! Pinky ring! (He raises up his finger as they 'poof' up a ring.) Awesome!
Wanda: Oh look, the bus! (She points to the bus that just stopped outside Timmy's house.) Well, I guess we're done.
Timmy: Wait! You gotta come with me in case I need some more stuff! I wish you guys were cool hip-hop medallions!
(Cosmo and Wanda 'poof' themselves into medallions.)
Wanda: Today is gonna drag on forever.
Cosmo: Is today over yet?
(The scene changes to Timmy on the bus.)
A.J.: Timmy?
Chester: Dude, you look positively popular! Where'd you get all this stuff?
Timmy: Internet. Um, inheritance...I inherited the internet. (As Chester and A.J. sit on the bus seats beside him…) Upupup, seats taken. (And he shoves Chester and A.J. off the seat.)
A.J.: By who?
Timmy: Trixie!
Chester: And where are we supposed to sit?
(In another part of the bus….)
Elmer: (He speaks to Chester and A.J.) Hi, I'm Elmer! This is my boil, Bob!
(Trixie then walks by Timmy.)
Trixie: Timmy Turner?
Timmy: Mmm-hmm.
Veronica: No! It's a trap! No kid could get so popular so quick!
Trixie: (She shoves Veronica away.) My Spazmo friend does have a point. You've got the popular clothes. Let's see your popular smile.
Timmy: (He whispers to Cosmo and Wanda.) I wish I had shiny teeth! (And then Timmy shows his extremely shiny teeth to Trixie and Veronica.)
Veronica: My eyes! My perfect blue eyes! (She runs away.)
Trixie: Wow! May I grace you with my presence?
Timmy: It will be your honor.
Trixie: Oh you're good. (As she said that, she sits down beside him.)
(The scene changes to the school at the end of the school day, all the kids run out of the doors. Veronica still blinded by Timmy's teeth bumps into a wall, then misses a step and falls. Then Tad, Chad, Trixie and Timmy walk out.)
Chad: ...my parents said we could all get together at the country club.
Trixie: Well, my Mom said we could take the limo and go to Skippy Cheeses pizza place! And then buy it! (She giggles.)
(That's when they all look at Timmy.)
Timmy: Uh, my parents are out of town and, uh, they said we could have a party after school, at my, uh...mansion?
Chad: Wow; that kicks the crud out of my plan.
Trixie: Bye Timmy, we'll see you later at your mansion party!
(With that; Tad, Chad, and Trixie walk off.)
Timmy: I am so totally popular!
Chester: Creep.
Timmy: Oh! Hey, guys. How's it going? (Chester and A.J. look at the Bouncer behind Timmy and tremble.) Guys? Hey what's-
Bouncer: These two not-popular boys bothering you?
Timmy: No, no, it's fine.
Bouncer: Well, should I explain the chart? (He holds up the chart.)
Timmy: Really, I'm on it.
Bouncer: Okay. (He walks away.)
Timmy: Look, there's a party at my house tonight. I'm popular. You guys come, you get popular. Okay? Super! (He walks off.)
Chester: He's moved to the dark side of the chart now.
A.J.: You don't mean...
Chester: I'm afraid so. (He holds up a pink hat like the one Timmy usually wears.) Elmer, you're the new Timmy.
Elmer: Neat! Can my boil have a hat too?
(The scene changes to Timmy's house.)
Timmy: (He speaks to Cosmo and Wanda.) I wish you were back to normal. Hey, about today? It seemed like I got on your nerves with all my wishing.
Wanda: Well, it was the selfish, thoughtless, rude, abrasive way you wished that annoyed us, sweetie.
Timmy: Yeah, I thought so. So, I made you a list of what I'll need for the party tonight at my mansion! (He holds up a long list.)
Cosmo: (He looks at the list.) But Timmy, you don't have any of these things!
Timmy: That's where you guys come in! Just make with the magic, okay?
Wanda: But you'll just be making friends because of the stuff-
Timmy: Upupup, did I wish for a moral?
Wanda: No...
Timmy: Let's get shallow. Ready? Party favors! Balloons! Stereo! Balloons! Butlers! Chips and dip! Sodas! A disco ball! (Cosmo and Wanda 'poof' up each items as Timmy wishes it.) And now a mansion to put it all in!
(As they raise up their wands, it makes a fizzling noise.)
Timmy: Hey! What gives? I'm still in a house-house!
Cosmo: Our wands have been shut off!
Timmy: By who? (Suddenly they all get 'poofed' to a courtroom.) Huh? Where am I? I'm in Fairy Court?
Judge: Order, order! (He slams his gavel.) The case of the fairies vs. Timmy Turner is now in session.
Timmy: What's going on?
Wanda: You're being sued by Fairy World and Jorgen von Strangle is the persecutor!
Timmy: Don't you mean prosecutor?
Wanda: No!
Cosmo: I gonna be the defense attorney!
Wanda & Timmy: No!
(Cosmo 'poofs' himself into the defense attorney in a suit and glasses.)
Cosmo: And for my first legal maneuver, I'd like to make a motion! (He starts dancing.)
Jorgen: I'd like to approach the bench.
Judge: Very well.
Jorgen: Spot me, tiny fairy. (Cosmo stands behind Jorgen, who lifts a huge barbell.) I call to the stand, Timmy Turner!
(Timmy gets 'poofed' to the stand.)
Jorgen: Timmy Turner, is it true over the last few days you wished for new clothes, jewels and a new house in order to obtain new friends?
Timmy: Yes.
Jorgen: Ha! Your witness.
(Cosmo approaches the bench.)
Cosmo: Hi Timmy! Look! I'm lawyer! (He puts on a fireman's hat.) Now I'm a fireman! Wheee! (He speaks to the jury.) Now, I'm just a simple fairy-slash-lawyer-slash-fireman, but Jorgen misses the point. There are many redeeming qualities to Timmy! (He speaks to Timmy.) Isn't it true that you also wished for new shoes, new sunglasses, butlers and shiny teeth?
Timmy: Yes.
Cosmo: What a selfish punk! The defense rests!
Wanda: That's your laser targeted defense?
Cosmo: I'm a fireman, not a laser technician! (He 'poofs' up lab goggles and a white coat.) Now I'm a laser technician!
Jorgen: One last question. After bestowing all these wonderful things upon you, did you ever once thank your fairy godparents?
Timmy: No. I-I guess I didn't. I should have. And I'm really sorry.
Judge: Well, he said he was sorry...
Jorgen: GRRRR! (He aims his wand at the judge.)
Judge: I mean, guilty! Timmy Turner, you lose your godparents!
(The crowd gasps.)
Timmy: No!
Cosmo: (He sees Wanda glaring at him.) Don't look at me; I'm just a coal miner.
(The scene changes to another part of the courtroom.)
Timmy: Guys... I'm sorry.
Wanda: Aw, that's okay, Timmy. Tomorrow we'll...
(That's when both Cosmo and Wanda fall into each other's arms and sob.)
Jorgen: Time to go home, tiny, ungrateful, Earth boy.
Timmy: (He takes his hat off.) Here, I want you guys to have this.
Wanda: Your only pink hat?
Timmy: Oh I can always wish for... Oh, right. (Jorgen then 'poofs' Timmy home. Timmy is 'poofed' back to his room and lands on a table.) Where am I? (He looks at himself.) My clothes, they're still cool. And the party gifts, they're still here! The party! Cosmo, Wanda, I can still be popular, I can- (Then he sees the empty fishbowl. He walks up to it and looks determined.)
(The scene changes to outside Timmy's house, when the party guests are arriving. Then Tad, Chad, Trixie and Veronica see Timmy dressed in his usual clothes, but without his pink hat.)
Trixie: What happened?
Veronica: Trixie, it's a trap. I told you, I knew. See?
Timmy: Guys, I don't have a mansion or a party or any of that stuff. I just faked it to get you to like me.
Trixie: But it worked!
Timmy: Yeah, but I want friends who like me for who I am, not what I have. [to Chester, A.J.] I'm sorry I didn't figure that out earlier.
Tad: Wow, I never thought of it that way.
Timmy: Really?
Chad: Yeah, but who cares? We're rich! Hey everybody, except Timmy, Chester, A.J. and the boil kid, party at my yacht!
Trixie: No!
(To this, the popular kids and the unpopular kids gasp.)
Amie: And this is just the beginning!
Timothy: Stay tuned for more surprises than you can see coming!
Timmy: Please read and review!
Trixie: And always think outside of the box!
