001. Evidence

Mama Cosma finds something of Cosmo's she probably shouldn't have seen.


Mama Cosma couldn't believe the sudden change in her son's melancholy disposition about his job at the local diner. He had begged her for days, weeks, months to let him quit and do something else, but she had not relented. It was good for her Cosmo to be out doing something productive, if he wasn't going to dedicate himself to his studies. (Least that's what she told him.)

This would keep him out of trouble or so she had hoped, he had gained himself a rather infamous reputation for causing disasters wherever he showed up (without the help of his troublesome brother Schnozmo). Thus far, he had been doing a fairly good job at keeping his damages to a minimum, only dropping a tray of dishes here and there but otherwise, she was very proud of him, he was really trying it seemed and his magic handling was improving if only slightly. It was enough to celebrate.

But despite it all, she had to wonder what exactly had changed his mind about the whole ordeal? Certainly it had to be something big in order for him to suddenly exclaim that he enjoyed his job that he had declared prior that he hated. He hadn't come home from work with a smile on his face in weeks and suddenly, she found he was back to his cheerful old self as if nothing had happened.

She had asked him if he had been promoted, he had said no. She had continued to pester him for details but all she had managed to get out of her was that he really liked the people there, but she hadn't quite believed his answer. Had that been the case he should have been happy from the start.

That was why when Cosmo had gone off to fetch her something from the grocery store per her request, she decided to snoop about in his room. His work bag was the last place she ended up looking but what she found inside provided all the answers to her inquiries. At the very bottom of the sack next to his discarded name tag was a crumpled napkin, with girly handwriting scribbled haphazardly on it probably in haste. A girl had given him her number. Someone liked her Cosmo-lolo. A girl named "Wanda".

Mama Cosma's brief happiness ended abruptly when she pondered next, exactly who was this Wanda girl? And why hadn't Cosmo told her about this girl he was clearly seeing? Why would he be keeping it a secret?


002. I'm here

Cosmo doesn't understand much but when he looks into those pink eyes he understands a few things.


" Wanda, I'm scared." Cosmo whimpered pitifully, tears starting to form as he locked eyes with his wife.

" I know pudding, but don't worry you're going to be alright." She smiled back gently at him trying to alleviate his worries. The procedure was going to be quick and he'd be asleep for it she reassured him, it wasn't going to hurt much, least until he woke up again but she left out that part of her explanation.

Studwell had strapped both him and Anti-Cosmo down onto an operating table in the middle of a golf field to perform the fagiggly gland transplant seeing as they didn't quite have the time to get back to the fairy hospital. Cosmo was trembling terribly against his bonds while Wanda tried her best to soothe him and reassure him everything was going to be alright. Anti-Cosmo tsked in annoyance wanting to get the whole procedure over with and be on his way. Wanda wondered if he was bothered by the fact that his spouse was absent for this considering, if something happened no one would know. She scolded herself, it was none of her concern. She wasn't here to worry about her husband's doppelgänger, it wasn't her responsibility to, nor did she like him much at all to do so.

Studwell smiled as he poofed up a chainsaw to rip open his patients with when the time came whistling a tune as he prepped the table. The Cosmas all looked at him with puzzled expressions. Wanda averted her gaze briefly wondering how far Timmy had wandered off, she had given him something to busy himself with whilst the operation took place, she didn't need him to have nightmares from seeing blood and inner workings, she'd be busy taking care of Cosmo after this as it was. As the time drew nearer she worried Cosmo was going to faint from how heavy his breathing had become.

" Would you relax you ninny you're shaking the whole table." His counterpart growled flexing his hands impatiently. Wanda noticed the nervous gesture (something she'd noted Cosmo did when anxious) and knew he was scared too despite his best efforts to appear unfazed.

"Wanda… will you hold my hand? Until I go to sleep?" Cosmo asked her suddenly eyeing the needle Studwell was going to administer to the both of them and then at her. Wanda complied immediately intertwining her slender fingers into his and brushing the top of his knuckles with her thumb. She smiled at him again and for the first time since they had gotten here Cosmo smiled back weakly. He felt his anxiety lift slightly, she would be here for him when he woke up just like she always and with those thoughts in mind, he wasn't scared anymore.


003 .Funeral

Saying goodbye was never easy.


The suitcases were packed and organized ready to be shipped off to their solemnly lived in home in Fairy World. It was hard to fathom that almost a whole decade had been spent in the Turner residence, living in the fishbowl beside Timmy Turner's bedside. It was even harder to believe that come the following morning, this wouldn't be home anymore. This was usual for them if not the same situation faced with every godchild they had ever taken care of, but the process of leaving them never became any easier even with the years of experience they had under their belt.

Saying goodbye face to face would be rather pointless seeing as the child would lose all memory of them once they were taxied back to Fairy World. The remnants of their magic would disappear forever and Timmy would continue to live his adult life without the aid of magic ever again; alongside forgetting all the memories they had made together when they had been his temporary family. All those moments reshaped to erase their existence from his memory.

Wanda seemed to be taking the impending separation the hardest, she always did. Every child she and her husband took care of felt like one of their own making it worse when it came time to take their leave from their assignment. Cosmo always tried his best to comfort her, needing to be the strong one when she couldn't be, and this was always one of those times. Sometimes, it wasn't as hard to leave, in instances where their assignments lost them quickly from revealing their secret it was too short lived to cause any distress of leaving the child. But in Timmy's case and a couple other hundred children, several years would pass and they'd found themselves insanely attached to the child they had helped practically raised, watching them age from young adolescents into adults was always a bittersweet phenomenon with the ever impending dread nagging them that one day they wouldn't be around.

The letter from Jorgen had arrived a week ago stating that their assignment with Timmy was coming to the close as his 18th birthday rolled around the corner, Wanda and Cosmo had been devastated to get the news, rather wishing he'd waited to alert them until after the boy's birthday. Nevertheless they had tried their best to mask their sadness and be extremely attentive to Timmy's needs and give him the best last week of their time together. They eventually broke the news as gently as possible to Poof. Their son wasn't happy about having to leave Timmy who had been his "big brother" for the years he had been alive, but it was out of their control, no matter how much they loved each child, they had to let each and everyone of them go, it was the nature of the job. With heavy hearts they had started packing and soon the date that Jorgen had prescribed them as their last work day, had come to a close.

The Cosma family took a final survey of the now empty castle making sure all their belongings were accounted for, it was unfortunately time to take their leave. Poofing out of the fishbowl they looked down at the sleeping 18 year old knowing this was the last time they would see him in many years if ever again. He had changed so much in the course of 8 years, they were so proud of him, he was going to be a great adult they were sure of it.

They kissed him goodbye when the taxi arrived and all clambered into the backseat of the car. With a final glance they watched as three ordinary goldfish took their place in the bowl beside him, it would be as if nothing had changed for him, he would never know the difference. As sad as they felt, they were also happy, Timmy had been a rather successful assignment for them though troublesome at times, overall a good godchild. Cosmo and Wanda shared a last glance at the boy the same thought circulating in their minds, they hoped they had done their jobs well enough to warrant him a happy adult life, that was all they wished for him now. The taxi drove them back to the colorful city within the clouds once again, they were back home.
