There was a deep sigh in the night, accompanied by the creaking of the boards under the carpet.
The creature sleeping in her bed didn't acknowledge the being next to her bed, and continued to sleep peacefully. He cautiously reached for her shoulder and shook her.
"…Wanda?"
The girl in the bed stirred slightly, but stayed asleep. He tried again, more stern this time.
"Wanda."
She groaned and turned toward him, eyes still closed.
"WANDA!"
Said girl screamed, eyes bursting open, and tumbled out of her bed. Wanda looked around at her surroundings, momentarily forgetting where she was. After her blurry vision cleared, the fairy looked up at the one in front of her.
"Cosmo?" She questioned. "What is it?"
He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Um…"
Wanda waited patiently while Cosmo stuttered out 'um's and 'you see's.
He took a deep breath: "I'mlonelyandI'mnotusedtoit!"
Wanda blinked. "Wait, what?"
"It's dark and lonely in there and I DON'T LIKE IT!" Cosmo's lower lip quivered before he burst into tears.
First taken aback by his random outburst, the female fairy tugged on his hand to pull him down next to her.
"Aw, Cosmo, it's okay…" She tried to soothe him, stroking his hair.
She pulled him into a hug and continued the calming motion on his hair. He buried his face in his shoulder.
She looked past him to her window, realizing she left her blinds open. She smiled. "Hey, look, the stars are out."
She heard him stop sobbing and turn his head in the direction she was looking toward.
Wanda smiled, "Do you know what the humans sometimes call the stars?"
Cosmo didn't respond, but she took it as a sign to go on.
"They call them the cosmos."
The female fairy felt him tilt his head in amazement. She playfully rolled her eyes at his pure wonder.
She continued: "I think it's the best name."
Looking down, his neck seemed to turn a pink hue.
"What a gorgeous name!"
His neck turned completely red.
"Yes, what a lovely name…"
Cosmo, after shifting uncomfortably, released himself from the hug. He quickly tilted his bright face away, obviously trying to hide it, but couldn't before Wanda saw and laughed lightly.
Yes, flattering him to embarrassment was cruel, but immensely fun.
She glanced over at the clock to find it was nearing 3:00 in the morning.
She yawned, "It's not even late enough to be awake! We should get back to be-"
Wanda felt a grip around her arm tighten, and was soon looking into bright green puppy-dog eyes.
"Or, not… We could just sit out on the balcony?"
His eyes lit up, and he grabbed the blanket off the bed and headed toward the glass doors.
"Come on!" He shouted over his shoulder, making the pink-haired girl roll her eyes.
The wind blowing around the small balcony was warm and gentle, with a somewhat tropical hint to it. Wanda stood in the doorway and inhaled deeply. Her heart almost seemed to stop completely at the relaxing aura of the moment.
"Wanda, what are you doing?"
Opening an eye, not realizing she closed them, she looked over at the other fairy.
"What?"
"Um…nevermind. Aren't you going to sit?" He patted the seat he pulled up (obviously on purpose) as close to his as possible.
"Yeah…sure."
Wanda cautiously took a seat it the lounge chair, and soon found herself pulled closely to him, the blanket drooped loosely about them. Her face turned red again, and she sighed awkwardly in the silence bestowed upon.
Trying to shake off the awkward feeling, she decided to make another comment: "So, the cosmos are still out!"
She tilted her head up, after it was laying on his shoulder, to see his reddened face and his scowl.
Wanda decided to tease him further, "You're scowling. Why are you mad? And you're red! Do you have a fever or something?" To emphasize her last point, she brought up her hand to place on his forehead, which he quickly hit away.
"Shut up."
Although she recognized it as more of a whiney tone than demanding, she pretending to act offended.
"Cosmo! Did you just hit me?"
His frown faltered.
"I can't believe you!" She teased, poking him in the ribs.
Cosmo giggled and jumped, once again swatting her hand away.
"What? AGAIN!" She poked him repeatedly, until she was almost on top of him, digging her nails into both sides of his ribs.
"Okay, Wanda, OKAY. I'm SORRRYYYY!" He squealed and tried jumping away, only to, once again, trap himself against the armrest.
Wanda suddenly stopped, "Promise?"
He held up his pinky finger, which Wanda gladly hooked hers with, "I promise."
"Okay, fine!" Wanda pouted, "Kill joy…"
Cosmo jokingly looked around him, as if he suspected she was talking to someone behind him. He finally turned back to her and pointed an accusing finger at himself.
"Me? I'm a kill joy?"
"Yes!"
Poke.
"Cosmo!"
Poke.
"Wipe that smirk off your- AGH!"
Cosmo attacked her, making her squeal as she jumped away. He sneered and loomed over her, wiggling his fingers. Wanda giggled and threw her arms protectively over her face.
"Cosmo, no-!"
"WHAT ARE YOU DISGUTING TEENAGERS DOING?"
Both fairies looked up at a balcony a few levels up and a few doors down. A rather pudgy lady in a lavender nightgown and many hair curlers stood at the window, glaring furiously.
"I cannot BELIEVE you two youngsters!" The lady's fiery eyes widened, "I can't believe you're doing it out here; IN PUBLIC."
Wanda's face turned a shade of red she was absolutely sure it hadn't reached before. But Cosmo, despite the blush growing on his own cheeks, just looked back at the lazy with a drunken smile.
"But she's soooooo prettttyyyyyyy!" He drawled out.
The lady narrowed her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, slamming the window after disappearing back into her room.
And then an awkward silence.
Both fairies awkwardly averted their gaze back to each other-
…just before they collapsed into laughter.
"That-that was great!" Wanda cackled, throwing her head back.
Cosmo wiped some tears from his eyes, "Th-thanks!"
"Oh my God, those humans think ALL teenagers are like that? Ridiculous!"
After a few minutes of their continuous laughter, and a moment of catching their breath, they looked at each other again. They both let out a yawn.
Wanda rubbed her eyes, "Well, Cosmo, maybe we should-"
She soon dozed off, once he wrapped his arm around her waist and her head fell on his chest.
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"Ready?" Wanda fidgeted with the hem of her yellow t-shirt, glancing nervously at the disguised fairy beside her.
He gave her a reassuring smile. "Yup! Are you?"
She refocused her gaze on the door then down at her outfit. She didn't take long to decide what to wear, but she took her time deciding what would be appropriate for basically babysitting a group of kids. The girl finally decided on a yellow fitted t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and black tennis shoes.
Cosmo, being who he was, just wore whatever he pulled out first: a white t-shirt, dark blue jeans, and black sneakers.
"Nh." She finally mumbled.
Cosmo raised an eyebrow.
"Wha-? Are you nervous?"
She sighed, "Well, it's our first big step in becoming godparents. And I mean big step. It's-"
The fairy was cut off when Cosmo slid his hand into hers and squeezed her hand.
A blush scattered across her cheeks when she glanced at their entwined hands, to him, back to their hands, and finally up to him.
"C-cosmo?"
He flashed his genuine, unique smile at her. The same smile that made her heart do continuous leaps for reasons unknown.
"Best friends hold hands, right?"
"I-I suppose…"
"And we're best friends! So it's okay!" Without looking away from her, and his eyes lit up when she finally smiled back, he gently rapped on the door, waiting for whoever the instructor of the daycare was to open up.
Soon enough, the door swung open to reveal a grinning, 30-year-old looking lady standing there in her lavender bowl-neck tank top, khaki pants, and nurse shoes glory. Her short hair curled away from her face. Not to mention she looked oddly fami-
She frowned, "Oh-"
Wanda continued, "-my-"
"-God." Cosmo finished.
An awkward silence fell upon the three, that is, until the woman in the doorway grew red, a furious frown spreading across her face.
"You PERVERTS!" She screamed, enraged.
"Uhm, yeah…. About that…" Cosmo awkwardly scratched the back of his head.
"Do you have an office we can talk to you in?" Wanda pleaded.
"Yes, but I'm not going to let you-" The lady shrieked a little as they hurried her into the office.
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"I promise last night was nothing!" The pink-haired fairy begged.
"Yeah!" Her test partner agreed.
"Then what were you doing last night? You know what? Nevermind, I'd rather not hear the details…" The woman huffed.
"Look," Wanda said, pulling the lady aside, "Mrs…uh…"
"Clayson."
"Right. Mrs. Clayson. Um, you see my friend Cosmo and I-" Wanda added in a motion to Cosmo, who obliviously fiddled with the stapler on Mrs. Clayson's desk.
"We've been friends for, well, a VERY long time. We are best friends, and we wouldn't even think of doing something like that to each other."
"Hey, hey, Wanda!"
Both ladies turned to see Cosmo running up to them.
"Wanda, look at this!"
Wanda looked down to his hands to see him hook something on his thumb and pull back with his other hand. Not knowing what happened next, the girl felt a snap on her arm and let out a yelp of pain. Looking downward, she saw a rubber band laying next to her feet.
"Cosmo! That hurt!"
"Wanda!" Cosmo pulled his hands up to his mouth in surprise, "I'm so sorry!"
After a few moments of the two teens bickering, the daycare director interrupted by putting her hand between the two, laughing.
"Alright, alright, I believe you two."
They both looked over at her and Wanda smiled.
"Oh, thank you!"
Mrs. Clayson smiled back at her, "If you two are done, would you like to take a tour of the place?"
Cosmo sighed, "Yes!"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"…And, finally, this is the playground." Mrs. Clayson motioned to the large outdoor area before her.
The fairies looked around, noticing a small swing set and picnic table, just before seeing a small field of grass giving enough space for playing sports.
"It's very…quaint." Wanda smiled, admiring the adorable backyard area.
"It is." The director chuckled, "Would you like to meet the kids? They should start arriving any mi- Oh! Here's someone now!" Mrs. Clayson looked past them to the driveway, all three seeing a cream-colored van pull into a parking space.
Wanda and Cosmo glanced at each other and smiled. Ready.
They both followed her inside, seeing her open the door to greet the approaching family.
"Welcome to Dimmsdale Daycare Center!"
Upon a short observation of the four-member family, both fairies noticed the father with red hair, the mother with short black hair, the taller red-headed girl who looked about 9 or 10, and finally a petite raven-haired girl. The smallest girl had her long hair pulled into a high ponytail. She wore a black t-shirt, plaid grey skirt, and black mary janes. She looked away nervously, pushing her tiny pair of glasses up her nose.
"Cosmo, Wanda, I'd like you to meet the Conners. This little cutie pie right here is Tootie Conners." Mrs. Clayson led out the youngest girl by grabbing her hand.
Wanda bent down to Tootie's eye-level, "Hi, Sweetie, I'm Wanda. I'm going to help take care of you here this week. This is my friend Cosmo!" Wanda turned to Cosmo, to find him mumbling incoherently to himself.
He placed his head in his hand thoughtfully, "Tootie…cutie pie….Tootie…"
The pink-haired fairy turned back to the girl, "He's a little…"
"Silly?" Tootie offered.
Both girls smiled. "Yes, very much so." Wanda laughed.
"I got it!" The green fairy burst in between them, causing everyone in the room to look over.
He beamed, "Tootsie-pop!"
Wanda stood up straight, "What?"
"Tootsie-pop! It's her new nickname!" He smiled, striking a heroic pose.
Mrs. Conners grinned, "How perfect! See, Tootie, you'll have fun with them! We know you will." She kissed her forehead, walking out the door.
Her dad followed suit, "We'll be back later."
Finally, her sister. They both gave the other a hard stare before the older sister spoke, "Whatever, brat," and sauntered out the doors.
Cosmo frowned, "No one talks that way to our Tootsie-pop!"
Wanda looked at the girl sympathetically, "Is she always like that?"
Tootie nodded, tears forming in her eyes, "Yeah, she doesn't like me much…"
"Aw…" Wanda reached down to stroke her hair.
"Cheer up, Tootsie-pop!" Cosmo tickled her stomach lightly, showing a funny face as he did so.
Tootie blushed and giggled, hiding shyly behind Wanda's legs, peaking out to look at him.
Wanda joked, "Cosmo, stop scaring the girl."
Ignoring his friend's comment, he continued, "I'm still going to…GET YOU!" He jumped at her, making her shriek delightedly, and chased her around the room.
Wanda rolled her eyes, then noticed Mrs. Clayson waving her over.
"Yes?"
"Okay, Wanda, I have to go home to go home and spend time with my own family, because your…employers said you would watch this place yourself. The families should be dropping off their kids any minute now. Just introduce yourself to the families and kids and you should be fine. Two boys who usually get dropped off together, they're great friends, you know, will be arriving a bit late today. Can you handle all of this?"
Wanda nodded, "Of course! You can count on us!"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"I'm going to count now! Ready? One… two… three…" The pink-haired fairy covered her eyes with her hands. She heard giggles, skittering, and the occasionally crash of toys falling over when it was knocked into.
Cosmo and Wand have been at the daycare since eight, and it was now going on eleven-thirty. They had spent the time first introducing themselves to the families of the children, then greeting every single child immediately after their family left.
~Flashback~
They had already met Beatrix, or, as she preferred, 'Trixie'. Then came Trixie's close friend, Veronica. It was obvious they were best friends, as they instantly bound over to each other for a hug before scampering off to play dollhouse.
Yet also leaving poor Tootie to squash and mold the tubs of play-doh all by herself at the crafts table.
Before Wanda let her gut take her mind and have her walk over to console the girl, there was another knock on the door, and she looked over to see Cosmo open it.
Standing there was a blond-headed child in a green t-shirt, smiling. The fairies glanced around the doorway to see a man (who they thought was his dad) with a bag on his head, drive off in a yellow dune buggy screaming, "Bye, Chester! See you later! WOOHOO!" the tires screeched as he zoomed off.
"Bye, Pops!" He waved to his father, before turning to Cosmo and waved before running in.
The two shared a glance as the door shut slowly, but didn't close when they saw two more cars pull up. One cop car and one jeep.
Out of the cop car jumped a 6-year-old looking grey child, and the jeep, a little girl with her long black hair in a pony tail and she wore a black t-shirt and black jeans.
The grey boy stalked by Cosmo, who jumped away, scared, and Wanda, who walked over to join them, as he muttered "Francis" under his breath.
The girl walked up and immediately shook both of their hands, "Hi! I'm Peyton! But my middle name's Molly, so please call me that!" She skipped happily over to the crafts table and got out markers to color, obviously trying to make conversation with the lonely girl molding clay.
Both fairies gave each other a worried glance.
"Um, Wanda?" Cosmo shifted his eyes, "How many children did she say we'd watch?"
Wanda fidgeted with her hands, trying to bring up something she may have forgotten.
"Uh…I don't think she mentioned."
"But-but what if they are a lot? We can't watch a lot of kids!"
"Cosmo, listen." She placed a hand on his shoulder. "I don't see any more cars coming, so this may be it until those two boys Mrs. Clayson said would come later show up. Don't worry; we got this."
He smiled when she touched his shoulder and nodded. Yup, they could do this.
~End flashback~
"28, 29…30! Ready or not, here I come!" Wanda cried out menacingly. After they realized no more children were showing up that morning, they left Trixie and Veronica to their dollhouse, Tootie and Molly to their artwork, and Francis and Chester to building blocks and toy monster trucks. But the kids easily got fidgety, and Cosmo had suggested one of his favorite games: hide and seek!
She laughed softly to herself as she checked in the places the kids were so obviously not in.
That was just like her Cosmo.
Wait… did I just say my Cosmo? Oh, no, no, no. He's not mine. Not like that.
Turning around completely, Wanda saw Cosmo huddled in a corner, face buried in his hands.
She simply walked over and placed her hand on his head.
"Tag."
"Nu uh!" Cosmo snapped back, "If I can't see you, you can't see me!"
"You know that doesn't actually work that way, right? I can still see you!"
"Hmph." He buried his face deeper.
"Oh, you don't want to go through last night again, do you?" She reached behind him to his upper back and danced her fingers around the certain area where his wings would usually protrude from. He shrieked and slammed himself against the wall, trying to wiggle away from the lingering sensation.
"WANDA! You know that the tickly feeling stays for a while when you do that around fairy wings!" He giggled and stood up to literally try to shake of the feeling.
"And maybe next time you'll play fair." She smirked, sauntering off to the table where she heard girlish giggles. Oh, kids. They've always loved watching other people in strange predicaments.
She ripped the blanket off of one half of the craft table, revealing both Tootie and Molly.
"Got you!" Wanda laughed and they squealed and ran off to the playground.
"But Molly! Tootsie-pop! We found you! WE'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR YOU!" Cosmo faked a sobbing sound as he chased the two giggling girls around the playground.
"It's official. He's insane." Wanda laughed to herself as she found Veronica and Trixie buried among the stuffed animals. They pouted playfully at being so easily found before scurrying out to the playground to play on the seesaw.
After a few minutes, she also found Francis squished inside the cabinet and after giving up inside, she walked outside to find Chester in the bushes. She shook her head happily at everyone's, including Cosmo's, antics.
She decided it was a good idea to bring the kids back in before they got too wrapped up in whatever they were playing.
"Lunch time!"
The second she said those words, everyone came running in and found their preferred spots, which she assumed they usually sat at. She noticed Cosmo sit at one end of the table.
Wanda walked over and grabbed him by the ear, "Nice try."
She dragged the tumbling green fairy to the kitchenette in the back. Together, they got out the tray of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and juice boxes. Once they passed out the food and drinks, they sat themselves in two chairs on the other side of the room.
"So, Cosmo…" Wanda twirled a strand of hair between her fingers, "Was this as bad as you thought it would be?"
"Nope, I'm having fun!" He beamed back at her. Cosmo's smile faltered when worry shone in her eyes. "What's wrong? Aren't you having fun, too, Wanda?"
Her head snapped up from her hand, but she offered a comforting smile, "No, no, Cosmo, I am. I'm just…worried. Do you think we're doing alright? Do you think we'll pass?"
He laced his fingers between hers and placed his other hand on top of theirs.
"Wanda, Wanda, Wanda…" He shook his head in his very Cosmo way, "you worry about school too much! About life too much!"
Wanda chuckled and shook her own head, "Maybe you worry to little!" She poked a finger to his forehead.
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
Two girls giggled.
"They're so cute!" Trixie giggled to her best friend.
"Like, total lovebirds!" Veronica giggled back.
"What are you two talking about?" Tootie questioned, biting into her sandwich.
"They mean Cosmo and Wanda like each other!" Molly beamed at her friend.
"But, we know they like each other. We like them, too!" Tootie rose an eyebrow.
Trixie rolled her eyes, "No, Tootie, we mean they love each other!"
The four girls glanced at the two unknown fairies, the green one pouting, and the pink one turning away, giggling.
Veronica leaned in to whisper to them. "I know a song we can sing about it! Listen."
She cleared her throat:
"Cosmo and Wanda
Sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
The four girls giggled and started chanting loudly:
"COSMO AND WANDA
SITTING IN A TREE
K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
Cosmo continued to pout at Wanda.
"I don't worry too less!"
Wanda turned her head away laughing.
"Of course you don't…"
A certain ringing caught her hearing. Wanda looked up at the kids and saw all of the girls staring at them. Cosmo looked up to follow her gaze. They both just barely caught the last bit of what they were singing.
"K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
Both fairies instantly understood which song they were chanting, and they both blushed a brilliant red. The girls took notice and turned to each other to giggle again.
The doorbell rang.
"Cosmo, get the door!" Wanda hissed through clenched teeth, embarrassed.
He instantly got up and dashed to the door, revealing a brown-haired boy in a pink shirt and pink cap, and a blond-haired boy with his hair slicked back and a white jacket.
"…And father said he would give me every single original Crimson Chin issue he had!" The blond boy bragged.
The brown-haired boy stared at him, mouth agape. "Dude, you're so lucky."
Cosmo cleared his throat, and both boys looked up.
The blond boy extended his hand, "Hello, I'm Remington Buxaplenty. But everyone calls me Remy. This is my friend, Timothy Turner." He motioned to the boy next to him.
The pink-hatted boy looked up shyly and raised his hand halfway. "Hey, I'm Timmy."
Wanda walked over and smiled, "Hey, you two. You must be the two Mrs. Clayson mentioned earlier. I'm Wanda, this is Cosmo. Come on in!" She grabbed them both by the hand and led them over to two spots at the table to let them eat.
Wanda turned to Cosmo and smiled, "At least we know everyone is here!"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
After all of the kids had gotten restless when they were finished eating, Wanda had sent them outside to play. After all of the kids had piled out to the playground, she dragged Cosmo from his reluctant state to help her straighten up the inside of the daycare center before the kids came in for the rest of the afternoon.
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"Oh, Tootie, aren't they cute together?" Molly cooed in her little 4-year-old voice to her close friend on the swing.
"I guess so," Tootie sighed, "I just don't get what's so amazing about love."
"Well, it's-"
"Get. Out. Of. My. Swing." A large shadow loomed over the two girls. They both turned around.
"Bug off, Francis. You don't need our swings. We were here first!" Molly scoffed at him.
He sneered, "I'll just take it then!" He pushed Tootie off the swing, into the gravel.
Tootie rolled onto her back and looked at the damage. Her knee was bleeding. Tears gathered in her eyes, and she was soon found bawling.
"Tootie!" molly jumped off the swing to aid her friend while Francis laughed.
"Hey!" A voice called to the bully.
The three turned to see Timmy standing there.
Timmy ran up and pointed an accusing finger at Francis, "You don't hurt ladies!"
Francis reacted by grabbing the front of his shirt.
"Then I'll hurt you instead!"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
"Whew…" Cosmo sighed, putting a toy truck back in the bin, "That was tiring…"
"Tiring?" Wanda raised an eyebrow, "That was the ONLY thing you put away!"
He pretended to limp over and threw his arm around her shoulder, and drooped on her.
"And I'm so tiirrreeeddddd….."
Wanda shook her head, "Well, I gu-"
She stopped mid-comment when they heard a scream from outside.
They glanced at each other.
"Oh-no."
Wanda, followed by Cosmo, ran outside to see the large grey child holding up the pink-hatted boy by the collar of his shirt, who was kicking him in the stomach. Cosmo wrestled the two apart.
"Enough!" He yelled.
Wanda grabbed them both by their hands and took them inside, sitting them in opposite corners of the room, telling them to stay for 20 minutes.
She ran back out to Tootie with a wet cloth and a band aid.
"Tootie, what happened? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, what happened to our Tootsie-pop?" Cosmo came in worriedly.
Tootie sniffled back her tears, "Francis pushed me off the swings and I got hurt. But then Timmy came to rescue me!" She beamed when she mentioned the latter boy's name.
Cosmo and Wanda shared a glance.
"So…you like him?" Wanda teased, placing the band aid on the scratch.
Tootie blushed and looked away, running into the center.
The pink-haired and green-haired fairies followed her inside, to find her talking to Timmy.
Wanda turned to Cosmo, "Go talk to Francis, I'll talk to Timmy."
Wanda watched as Cosmo went to approach the grey child, before she turned to walk towards Timmy.
"Um, Tootie, I'll need to talk to Timmy. Could you please go back and play outside?"
She nodded and skipped out happily.
Wanda kneeled down to look Timmy in the eye.
"Timmy, could you please tell me what happened out there?"
He sighed, "I saw Tootie get pushed down by Francis. I don't think anyone should hurt girls. They're breakable!"
Wanda laughed lightly and raised an eyebrow, "Breakable?"
"Yeah," He smiled, "My dad said once that girls are something that begins with 'f', but I remember he said it meant 'breakable'."
"Do you mean 'fragile'?"
"Yes!"
"Timmy, I'm sure he meant that you aren't supposed to hurt a girl's feelings. Not that they'll break like a toy."
"Oh…. But still…" He pouted.
Wanda smiled and stood, "It was still a nice thing that you stood up for her. That's exactly what you're supposed to do! But please promise me you won't fight like that again. You do not fight to solve problems."
"Yes, Ms. Wanda…"
Wanda squatted down one more time, "And, one more thing: what was Tootie saying to you just now?"
He blushed and looked away, "She was just saying 'thanks'."
"Hm, sounds like she likes you!" Wanda winked and teased.
"Nuh uh!"
"And since now you're her hero, it sounds like you like her, too!" This caused Timmy to blush harder and turn away completely.
Wanda grinned and rolled her eyes, walking away.
But not before she heard him mutter:
"I like her…but not that much…"
*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*0*
