Wow, the first chapter of this story has been getting good reviews. here's the next one!
Together
The next morning, Cosmo and Wanda came out of the fishbowl and Timmy was still sleeping. "Ready honey?" Wanda asked.
"Ready snookie," Cosmo replied.
They both poofed up some huge mega phones and shouted into them. "TIMMY WAKE UP!" they shouted.
Timmy flew five feet out of his bed. "AHHH!" He landed with a slam back on his bed slightly disoriented and more than slightly annoyed. "Why do you do this…?" he mumbled.
Cosmo poofed Timmy into his clothes and started to brush his oversized teeth with an oversized toothbrush. "Oh come on Timmy. You can't tell us it isn't just a little bit fun."
"It's fun for you," Timmy said wiping his mouth.
"Hey, don't you still need to talk to your parents?" Wanda said.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. They're going to be leaving soon," Timmy said. He ran out of the room and went downstairs. "Hey mom, hey dad."
"Good morning Timmy," his parents chorused.
His mom placed some pancakes in front of him. "Here's your breakfast."
"Can I ask you something?"
"I'd love to stick around and chat but we've got to go to work," his dad said. "That food doesn't just magically appear on your plate."
"Bye Timmy," his mom said picking up her purse. Then they were out the door.
Timmy put his face in his hand. "I'm never gonna finish this project."
Cosmo and Wanda came over to him. "Aw, don't worry sport, you'll finish it," Wanda said.
"Yeah, they can't ignore you forever," Cosmo said.
"In the mean time, I want to hear the rest of your story," Timmy said.
"We already told you how we met," Wanda said.
"But you never told me how you got together," Timmy pointed out. "Come on, I want to know."
"Alright, alright. I remember this like it was yesterday," Cosmo said.
Cosmo and Wanda did see each other again over the summer. A few times actually and they became friends. But Cosmo didn't know she was with Juandissimo.
School started again. Wanda stood by her locker at the beginning of the day with her friends Sparkle and Dana. "I met someone over the summer you guys," Dana swooned fluffing her blonde hair. "He was so hot."
Sparkle crossed her arms. "You're lucky. I never meet anyone over the summer."
"Did you have fun with Juandissimo?" Dana asked Wanda with a knowing look.
Wanda leaned against her locker. "Yeah, I did," she said half heartedly. Over time she had started to not like Juandissimo the way she used to when they first started going out. His arrogance and vanity had started to shine through and she had tried to ignore it but it had been getting more and more annoying.
"I swear, you two are going to get married." Wanda cringed when she said that. Being married to Juandissimo was unthinkable.
Suddenly Juandissomo poofed over to them. "How's my lovely Wanda?" he said before kissing her.
She forced herself to smile. "Fine sweetie."
Elsewhere Cosmo had come into school. Oh how he dreaded this place. Certain people bullied him all the time and half his classes he was no good in. The only thing that even made him look forward to coming here was thinking of Wanda. He couldn't get her off his mind since he met her at the café two months ago and couldn't wait to see her again.
"Earth to Cosmo," his friend Jeff said.
"Huh?" Cosmo said.
"What's up with you?" Jeff asked.
"Nothing, just thinking."
"About?"
"I met someone over the summer."
"You met someone?" Jeff said surprised. "Well this is a monumental moment in history. Who was it? Does she go here?"
Cosmo nodded smiling as he thought of Wanda. "Yeah. Wanda."
Jeff's eyes got wide. "Wanda? Wanda Fairywinkle? That Wanda?" Cosmo nodded again. "She was into you? Are you kidding me?" The only girl Jeff had ever seen Cosmo talk to without completely humiliating himself was his mother. He couldn't possibly have talked to Wanda. "So did she like you? Did you get her number?"
"Well no, but I think she did like me. I saw her a few times." He thought of possibly being Wanda's boyfriend. Did she really like him enough to be his girlfriend?
"Hey dude," Jeff said pointing next to them.
Cosmo looked where he was pointing and felt like he'd just been punched in the stomach. Wanda was up against the locker kissing Juandissimo Magnifico. She was with that jerk? He was one of the guys who bullied him last year and the year before. Just like that, all of his hopes of being with Wanda were washed out the window. He felt like he'd be sick.
Jeff put his hand on his shoulder sympathetically. "Sorry Cosmo."
Later that day Wanda went into her chemistry class and saw Cosmo. She immediately flew over to him and sat next to him. "Hi Cosmo," she said happily.
"Hi Wanda," he said.
He sounded sad. "Is something wrong?" she asked concerned.
"I didn't know you were with Juandissimo," he said.
"Oh, yeah, I am." Then she realized. Cosmo liked her. How had she not realized it before? But she felt bad now. She didn't want to hurt his feelings. Really she wasn't sure how she felt about Juandissimo now but she didn't know if she should break up with him or not. "Well, we're still friends right?" she asked hopefully.
He looked at her. Her beautiful smile was still on her face. She wanted to be friends with him. If he couldn't be her boyfriend, he'd live with that. "Yeah, we're friends."
A few weeks later Cosmo was sitting alone at lunch. Some guys came over to him including Juandissimo and this football player named Luther. "'Sup loser?" Luther said.
Cosmo glared at them. "What do you want?"
"Nothing but your sandwich," Luther said snatching it from him.
"Go get your own!" Cosmo exclaimed trying to grab it back but Luther pushed him away.
"You're too wimpy to get it back Cosmo!" Luther said laughing.
Juandissimo put Cosmo in the air using his wand and spun him around. The rest of the guys and others started laughing.
"Put him down Juandissimo!" Wanda exclaimed.
Juandissimo continued to spin Cosmo around. "Why are you defending this loser Wanda?"
Wanda was steaming; everyone could practically see the fire in her eyes. "Cosmo is not a loser, he's my friend. Put him down now!" Juandissimo dropped Cosmo on his head thinking Wanda would come over and punch him if he didn't. She bent down next to Cosmo and hugged him. "Are you okay?"
He hugged her back after getting over the initial shock of her hugging him. "Yeah, I'm okay," he said even though his head was still spinning.
"Get off him Wanda! What did I tell you about touching other guys that way?" Juandissimo exclaimed.
She glared at him angrily. "I don't see why it would matter since you're always all over other girls. You're nothing but a jerk! We're through!"
Juandissimo stared at her stunned. "Wanda…"
"You heard me! It's over! Go away!" She looked at Cosmo and smoothed his hair. "Are you sure you're okay?"
He nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks Wanda. You didn't need to break up with him over me though."
Wanda shook her head. "No, I've hated him for so long now. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner." She locked eyes with him. He had the most amazing green eyes. And he was really cute. She felt her face get hot then she blushed more when she realized it. But she couldn't look away from him. She noticed he was blushing too; it made him look even cuter. "Do you want to share my lunch with me…you know, since they took yours?"
"Yeah sure." They sat down next to each other at the table sharing Wanda's noodles and apples not caring who stared at them.
Over the next week or so Cosmo and Wanda hung out together more and more. They had three classes together this year and most days they sat together at lunch. She was no longer with Juandissiomo, she hardly ever spoke to him any more. The bastard was continuously flirting with girls the day after she broke up with him. She didn't care anymore, she really liked Cosmo. She wanted to get to know him more and be with him, but she didn't know how to tell him. She wasn't good with telling guys her feelings first. Even though she knew he liked her, she still didn't know how to tell him she liked him back.
Cosmo felt the same way about Wanda of course, but he was too nervous to say anything. What if she rejected him? She probably just wanted to be friends like she said before she broke up with Juandissimo. What if she laughed in his face after he told her? She'd never want to see him again.
One afternoon after school, he found her at her locker and went over to her. He would do this. He liked Wanda; he wanted her to be his girlfriend. It was time he started putting his fears aside and being a man about things. "Hi Wanda."
She smiled when she saw him as she always did. "Hi Cosmo."
He suddenly became nervous again. His heart was pounding fast and he felt dizzy. He put his hand on the locker to support himself. "So, um...you going home?"
Wanda shook her head. "I have cheerleading practice."
"Oh, yeah, right. You're the best cheerleader."
Wanda blushed. "Thanks."
"So, um, can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
Alright Cosmo, here it goes. Don't get nervous. Just tell her. "Well Wanda…I really like you and um…will you be my girlfriend?" He cringed waiting for her to say no, laugh at him, fly away and never speak to him again.
Wanda however was beaming. He really did like her! He wanted to be with her! She hugged him. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend Cosmo. I really like you too."
Cosmo was surprised. "Y-You do?"
She looked at him. "Yes."
"Well, great," he said not quite knowing what else to say. "You want me to walk you to your cheerleading practice?"
She nodded. "Yeah." She picked up her bag, closed her locker, and they left. She held his hand and smiled at him. Once they got to the gym they stood there for a moment holding hands not wanting to let go.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow Wanda."
"Yeah…you wanna call me tonight?" Wanda asked. They exchanged their phone numbers. "Bye." She gave him a hug.
He hugged her back. "Bye Wanda." He watched her go off to join the rest of the cheerleaders then went outside. Once he got out there he shot into the air like a rocket. "YES!" He flew around in circles then floating gently to the ground like a feather. Unfortunately he landed in the middle of the football field and all of the football players were running towards him. "AH!" he flew out of the way right before they trampled him.
That night Wanda couldn't get home fast enough. She burst through the door, dropped her bag and flew past her father. "Hi daddy."
"What are you so excited about?"
"Nothing." She flew upstairs.
Blonda came out of her room. "What's your problem?"
"Leave me alone." She picked up the phone, went into her room, and locked the door behind her. Then she sat on her bed staring at the phone. Should she call him first? Or maybe she should wait for him to call so she wouldn't seem desperate. She took her long hair out of its pony tail and played with it nervously while she thought about what she should do. Fortunately she didn't have to do anything. The phone rang and she almost immediately answered it. "Hello?"
"Hey, it's me," Cosmo said.
She was smiling so much her face hurt. "Hi Cosmo. What'cha doing?"
"Talking to you. What are you doing?"
She giggled. "Talking to you…"
"Wow, that's some conversation," Timmy said with a sarcastic tone.
"We talked about more than that. What did we talk about dear?" Cosmo asked.
Wanda shrugged. "I don't even remember." She rested her head in her hand and sighed happily. "We talked until midnight though."
"I wanna know what happened next," Timmy said. This story was getting interesting, he wanted to know more.
Suddenly they heard the sound of the bus outside.
"We'll tell the rest of it later Timmy," Wanda said. "Go outside before you miss the bus."
Timmy stood up. "Fine, but I want to hear more later."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. More is on the way!
