Chapter 2: Emergency Fairy Convention
"Commence the emergency fairy convention!" boomed Jorgen Von Strangle. "I have ordered you all to come because the Anti-Fairies escaped!"
The fairies began to gossip nervously about the state of the Anti-Fairies' last prison, and babble redundantly about the danger of the Anti-Fairies. All except for Cosmo, who babbled about the joys of cheese, corn, and the Bee Gees instead.
Jorgen struck the grey-tiled floor with his wand, immediately restoring order to the convention. No one wanted Jorgen to be mad at him or her. Angry Jorgen was just as dangerous as Anti-Fairies were.
"You were ordered to come so you could stop the Anti-Fairies! All the fairies in the universe were ordered to come, meaning that your godchildren will not have magical help until the Anti-Fairies are stopped!"
Wanda knew what that meant. Since they couldn't have a temporary fairy, Norm would have to take care of Tommy, and Tammy, and she was sure that Norm would choose the mafia meaning of the phrase, not the kind meaning.
Her godchildren would probably become pawns in a plan to ruin – or end, Timmy Turner, her former godchild's, life. If the twins thwarted him, he might decide to get revenge on them as well. He might desire revenge on them already, just because the twins were genetically related to Timmy.
Now that was bad. She wondered if Norm was in league with the Anti-Fairies, and had planned this so he could get revenge on Timmy, since it sure seemed like it. Hopefully, Norm hadn't teamed up with Anti-Cosmo, and she was just being paranoid.
She saw that Cosmo was as worried as she was, despite the fact that he wasn't smart enough to know every complex, miniscule detail.
Despite his low intelligence, he knew the core fact, the main detail. Despite that, he knew that Norm was evil, and would have nothing against using their godchildren for his schemes, or ruining their lives. He had seen Norm do it to Timmy, and that was as useful for understanding Norm's malevolence as being able to connect the dots and theorize what his possible evil plan was.
Jorgen continued explaining what they were going to do when they faced the Anti-Fairies, and Wanda tuned back in. If the universe was saved from the Anti-Fairies, Norm wouldn't have to take care of her godchildren, and the children wouldn't have to deal with the notoriously tricky genie. Listening to Jorgen was crucial for saving the world from the Anti-Fairies.
Norm GONGed back into his NORMal genie form. The Turner twins weren't startled, and Norm was reminded of Turner's easy acceptance of the existence of genies.

Tommy wondered what the emergency fairy convention could possibly be about. He had never heard of such a thing before, and the notion of fairies having emergencies confounded him, since they could probably POOF most emergencies fixed, as well as magically preventing them. Apparently that was not so.
Luckily, Norm could grant their wishes while their godparents were gone – though he could only grant three, so they'd have to be wise about their wishes, and not waste them. Tommy doubted that three wishes would be enough against the Vicky-bot, since he was sure that it would torture them a lot more than three times. Maybe once he was finished with Norm, he could give the lamp to Tammy.
He went back to his room, to read his Crimson Chin comics, and watch TV. Hopefully the Vicky-bot wouldn't find him, and drag him out VIOLENTLY, so he could be tortured VIOLENTLY for no real reason other than pure sadism on the part of the bot.

Norm groaned, since Tommy had decided to ignore him, and therefore couldn't be tricked right now. Tammy was still there, though since she wasn't the one in control of him, tricking her would be less beneficial. Well, at least, it would be a start.
First, he needed to gain her trust.
Tammy spoke before he could begin to think of a way to gain her trust. "Why doesn't Wanda like you? You don't seem bad. So far, you've only been nice to us."
Norm was shocked. Humans didn't act like this, as far as he knew. The fact that Tammy was Turner's kid made it even more shocking. Turner wasn't that nice, though he did question his fairies' warning against genies, saying that fairy wishes bite one in the butt too, and genie wishes were better, simply because of the lack of rules.
Turner didn't do it out of liking though; he only did it so he could get three rule-free wishes. He assumed that Tammy had the same motive, though she didn't own him. Her brother did, and he just wanted to ignore him. Despite his mistrust, he did like it when people treated him as though he was a sapient, benign being. Unfortunately, almost the only time he got that type of treatment was when shagging, and his partners sometimes left the sapient part out anyway.
"Never mind that," replied Norm, who decided that avoiding the question was the best response.
Tammy didn't pry any further, which wasn't too much of a surprise. He was used to humans being like that, and was relieved that he didn't have to come up with an elaborate falsehood on the spot to explain Wanda's dislike of him.
-
Tammy wasn't surprised that Norm didn't want to answer her question. Maybe Wanda's reason had to do with adult stuff, stuff that kids were supposed to know. Maybe it was personal. She didn't need to know why Wanda disliked Norm anyway. If he was truly a threat, she would have explained exactly what he was, and what bad things he did. Continuing to ask would probably just anger Norm, and she didn't want to do that. Her mother had raised her and Tommy to be polite, and Norm was nice, as far as she knew anyway. If he turned out not to be, her brother did have three rule-free wishes after all, so he could get Norm back into his lamp if necessary.
