I was going up to my room after all the chores I had to do for Vicky, my evil babysitter, were finished. At 15 my parents still thought I needed a babysitter. '15 man I'm getting old', I thought to myself. That meant I only had one year left with my fairy family, Cosmo my fairy godfather, Wanda my fairy godmother, Poof my fairy god brother, and my fairy dog Sparky.
Sometimes I would think that fate or whatever thought it would be funny for me to be alone again. If I lost them, I don't know what I'd do. To my fairies, I was a son, brother, and best friend. But, according to Da Rules of Fairy World, each god child at age 16 will lose their fairy godparents, and have their memory wiped by one of the biggest assholes ever. This big buff rule abiding prick is Jorgen Von Strangle. But, for some reason at 9 p.m., I was more tired than usual. I arrived at my room, and closed the door. As soon as I did I was greeted by my fairy family.
"Hey sport, how were the chores," Wanda asked.
"Annoying as per usual. Honestly, I think I'm old enough to look after myself don't you think? Why would my parents hire her again? She's a nightmare!"
"Well Bro, maybe they think that you'll blow up the house for some reason," Poof told me.
"Ugh, they're dumber than anti Wanda if they think that. I don't even think that's possible to be honest."
"Well Timmy, maybe they think that you're too dumb to look after yourself," Cosmo said in a weirdly smart way.
"Ha! That's what that last wish was for. So I could look after myself after I lost you guys."
"We know that sport, but they don't."
"I honestly think I'll go crazy if I lost you guys."
"I don't know big bro. You won't even remember us after Jorgen gets a hold of you. You know that."
"I know Poof, but it still doesn't make it any easier. Sometimes, as I was getting older and dreading the future, I wished that I could stay a kid forever."
"Timmy," Wanda started a little worried.
"What is it Wanda?"
"That kind of wish would have serious consequences. You would not age while everyone around you did, and eventually, you and your nemesis would be tied together forever. With all the guilt to add to that, you could, no, you would go mad."
"Ugh," I shivered. "I don't think I could be tied to Francis, Crocker, or Dark Laser for all of eternity. That would drive me batty."
"That's exactly why we told you. And…well," Sparky started.
"There's more?"
"Anyone who wishes for immortality loses their fairies because it would be considered a selfish wish. Very selfish," Sparky told me.
"Great, more good news," I said flopping down on my bed.
"Would a wish make you feel better sport," Wanda said raising her wand, ready to grant my heart's desire.
"Not tonight. I'm just too tired right now, maybe tomorrow."
"Okay honey." All of my family came and gave me hugs and kisses goodnight. Before I fell asleep, I heard Wanda say something. It was fuzzy since I was so tired, and it sounded like, "If he had made us grant that wish, she would be stuck with him for all eternity."
"I know mom but, they kind of love each other now. Sooner or later one of them will have to grow a pair and say it. They'd have to, if they were going have to deal with one another. But, at least he didn't, that's the good thing," I heard my little brother say.
"He's right Wanda. If Vicky and Timmy were immortal, they'd have to tell the other that they love one another eventually," I heard my fairy god father say.
I dismissed what they said as a dream, and the dream shifted.
