Okay, so far only one person has reviewed this story (thanks, by the way, I'm glad you liked it!), but that's fine. I'm mostly doing this for me, anyway. This one will be based off of Lovestruck. Happy Valentine's Day, by the way!

Eternal Love
Chapter 2-Valentine's Disaster
Promptly at six thirty-five, Wanda's eyes flew open. She extracted herself from her husband's possessive grip and proceeded to shower and dress. When she was satisfied with her appearance, she went back to wake up her other half.
"Cosmo? Cosmo, get up! Come on, we have to go and wake Timmy soon!" she urged as she shook his shoulder.
"Mmm, five more minutes Mom," he mumbled as he rolled away from her.
Usually at this point, Wanda would become annoyed and do something that would instantly shock him awake, such as poofing up some arctic water or grabbing the blankets away, but today was Valentine's Day! The day of everlasting love! She sighed happily to herself.
Instead, Wanda leaned down and planted her lips softly over Coso's. After a second he responded enthusiastically to the kiss and removing his arms from underneath the blanket, used them to pull her flush ontop of him. After a minute Wanda pulled back and kissed his nose. "You finally awake now, Puddin?" she asked with a smile.
"You betcha, Lamb Chop!" he replied exuberantly. "What was that for anyway? Did I say something sweet in my sleep?"
Wanda giggled and mussed his hair. "No, silly! I just love you, that's all."
Cosmo smiled at her bashfully. "Love you too, Snookie."
After sharing another brief kiss, Wanda pulled them to their feet. "Okay then! Let's get going!"
While Cosmo got himself dressed, Wanda went about re-curling the signature swirl in her hair that Cosmo had ruined by running his fingers through. They collected their wands and poofed into their godchild's room.
Hovering over Timmy's bed, the two fairies began whispering about ways to wake him up. Finally, they decided on good old-fashioned scare tactics. Positioning a bullhorn in Timmy's face, Cosmo winked at his wife before blowing into it.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Timmy leaped from his bed, landing in a heap on the floor.
"Good morning, sport," Wanda chirped happily.
"I'll say! What the heck was that for?!" He turned and glared at his godfather.
Cosmo just grinned at him. "For my amusement!"
Timmy got off the floor with a huff.
"Aww, cheer up, sport! Your going to have a wonderful day!" Wanda gushed as she poofed him into his school clothes.
Timmy turned to Cosmo with a puzzled expression. "What's with her? She's more cheerful than usual."
Cosmo flew over and wrapped an arm around Wanda's waist. "Because, today's her favorite holiday. Duh!"
"Oh, I just love Valentine's day!" Wanda beamed and leaned into Cosmo's embrace. He kissed the top of her head.
Timmy made a face. "Well I HATE Valentine's Day! All I ever do is get embarrassed and humiliated!"
Wanda frowned at her godson's attitude. Valentine's day was special, and she wished he could see that. Perhaps he was still too young to fully appreciate its worth. After all, the day was only special if you could spend it with someone you really loved and who loved you in return. Personally, Wanda felt that Timmy would never find true happiness with the shallow Trixie Taang. But he would never listen to her if she tried to dissuade him from persuing such a person. Despite herself, she vowed that she would help Timmy enjoy the day, no matter what.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Poor Timmy!, Wanda thought as they ran away from the group of laughing girls. She'd tried to help Timmy by cluing him in on what girls love, and at first he'd been really excited. The performance had gone great and he'd done a wonderful job. But everything had blown up in his face when that horrible little girl catapulted him from her property once again.
Wanda scowled. That little rich brat didn't know the damage she was causing her sensitive godson. She just knew he would overreact and blame all girls for Trixie's shortcommings. She really believed that Tootie was a better match for him. Sure, she might be a tad bit weird but who could blame her growing up in the same house as Vicky. The poor kid was probably constantly miserable. Wanda wondered why it was that she didn't have her own set of godparents.
She really did empathize with the strange little girl and wished that Timmy would give her more of a chance. As they finally stopped running, Wanda decided to voice her opinion. "Well, you know maybe you should let Tootie be your Valentine."
She wasn't surprised when Timmy glared at her. "Well, of course YOU'd think that! It was your stupid song that got me launched into this mess! Get Tootie away from me! Get em all away from me!"
Wanda shared a worried look with Cosmo. This couldn't be good. And here comes the overreaction.
"I wish I lived in a world without girls! Just put em all someplace else!"
Cosmo and Wanda shared another concerned glance before obeying the wish.
A moment later, Timmy looked around triumphantly. "Yeah! All the girls went away!" he cheered.
"Wait a minute? I'm a girl," Wanda pointed out.
Cosmo gasped and clamped a hand over her mouth. "No she's not! Don't mind her! Aah, I mean don't mind this person! It doesn't know what it's talking about!"
Timmy glared at the pink fairy. "Your right, Wanda. You are a girl. So get lost."
Wanda gasped in surprise and hurt. "But, Timmy-!"
"No! This was all your fault! Just go!" He turned away from her petulantly.
Wanda stared morosely at his back. She couldn't believe he was doing this to her. All she'd done was try to help him be happy against her better judgment. She always put his needs first. And today was Valentine's day! She was supposed to spend it with her beloved! Looking over at him, she noticed that his face had gone completely slack as if he were in shock of the escalating situation before him. Wanda straightened up resolutely. If Timmy didn't want her with him, then fine! She would go.
As she turned to poof away, Cosmo grabbed her hand. "No! Don't go, Lamb Chop!"
Looking at her husband's devastaed face, her resolve wilted a little. "I don't want to, honey. But I think I have to."
"No you don't!" he protested.
"Yes she does!" Timmy yelled, spinning around to face the fairy pair.
"Timmy!" Cosmo shouted. "Don't do this to us!"
Timmy ignored him. "I wish Wanda would go away and join the other girls!"
Coso couldn't believe it. Timmy had made it an official wish! Now Wanda really did have to go away! Cosmo clung to her sleeve reflexively. There was no way he was letting her go anywhere without him. He'd follow her to wherever if he had to!
Wanda glanced at her husband sadly. So much for their Valentine plans. Prying his fingers from her sleeve, Wanda pulled Cosmo into a tight hug. She burried her fce into his neck as his arms constricted around her like steel bars. "I'm sorry, sweetie," Wanda whispered tearfully into his ear. She would not say goodbye.
In a poof of pink smoke, Wanda disappeared from within the ring of Cosmo's arms. He was too startled to cry out. All he could do was stare longingly after the trail of pink smoke, feeling like he'd been set adrift.
Timmy's eyes widened. He'd never actually thought that Wanda would leave. "Wanda?" he called out hesitantly. Maybe she was just playing a trick on him to teach him a lesson. She'd probably poof back any second now...
"What's a Wanda?" Cosmo asked.
Timmy turned and stared at him incredulously. He couldn't be serious, right? After the scene he'd just made, there was no way he could forget his wife for 10,000 years, right? Timmy continued to observe his godfather, but the clearly genuinely baffled look did not waver. He WAS serious!
Wanda's leaving seemed to have pushed his wish into full motion. Now the men wouldn't even remember the girls. Timmy felt a twinge of guilt, but quickly brushed it aside. Maybe it was better this way.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Something was horribly wrong. Cosmo went along with Timmy; farting and making other gross noises, stuffing his face with ungodly amounts of food and various other "manly things." But throughout it all he couldn't help feeling that something was missing.
He was glad that Timmy was happy, but why wasn't he? For no discernible reason at all, he would begin crying and couldn't bring himself to stop. And he wasn't the only one. Timmy's dad seemed to be affected in the same way. What was that all about?
There was just this big, gaping void in his chest that throbbed especially hard whenever he saw anything pink. And for some reason, he didn't believe that Wanda was a wrestling move. But he knew that he liked the name a lot and various times throughout the day, he caught himself calling things Wanda. Nothing made any sense!
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Wanda lay sprawled out on a nice patch of green grass, munching on a bar of chocolate. She'd never felt more relaxed in her whole life. It was simply refreshing. She had all the free time and space she could ever want. And the view was to die for!
So why did she feel so melancholy? She couldn't shake the feeling that she should be doing something else at the moment. But she had no idea what that could be, and it frustrated her! She didn't like not knowing things. But there wasn't much she could do about it. Sighing, she lay back and closed her eyes. Maybe after a nap, she'd know what to do.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
It happened suddenly. One minute he and Timmy were sharing a large everything pizza when his memories returned to him in a blinding flash. "Wanda!" he shouted.
Timmy jumped. "I already told you Cosmo, that's a wrestling move."
Cosmo flapped his wings madly and hovered angrily in front of Timmy's face. "Liar! Wanda is my wife and you'd better wish her back right now!"
Startled, Timmy took a step back. He wasn't used to seeing such an easygoing person as Cosmo angry. Wanda was usually the one who reprimanded him or got upset. Looking at his godfather's red face, Timmy realized that he'd gone too far and better fix it. "Your right. I'm sorry Cosmo."
The green fairy frowned disapprovingly at him. "I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. Now, make the wish!"
Timmy jumped again. He'd never get used to an angry Cosmo. "Okay! I wish all the girls were back here again!"
Cosmo waved his wand eagerly, but nothing happened. He frowned and tried again, but to no avail. He turned accusing eyes to Timmy.
The boy held up his hands in defense. "You probably can't grant my wish because except for you and me, nobody else remembers the girls! We have to go break down the wall!"
Cosmo nodded, and silently followed him out into the streets. He'd crush that wall to pebbles if it would reunite him with his Wanda.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Wanda watched fretfully as the male and female humans rushed at each other with pointy swords to do battle. She didn't understand them. How could they not remember each other? Immediately after she'd woken from her rest, everything had returned to her at a dizzying speed. She'd began missing Cosmo terribly and had considered poofing back, but that would have been against the wish.
Timmy. She was still shocked and hurt by the boy's actions of course, but she couldn't bring herself to stay mad at him. Sure he'd ruined her plans for the day, but she loved him. He was reckless and rash, sometimes rude and definitely not the smartest kid in the world but he had a sweet heart underneath it all. She knew that when he was ready to admit he'd been wrong, he'd have Cosmo unwish the wish.
Cosmo. She wondered how he'd been coping with it all. He was probably feeling as sad and bereft as she was once he remembered. And she knew he would remember her, eventually. You couldn't love someone for 10,000 years without forming an unbreakable bond. There was just no way they would ever permanently forget about the other. They were too much a part of the other's life.
Wanda flew around the groups of fighting humans frantically searching for her godchild or husband, but she could find no trace of them. Growing tired she hovered in one place, her gaze cast forlornly down at the wild bunch of people. Just what was she going to do?
Suddenly she spotted a green dot racing towards her. Could it be... The dot grew larger as it approached her and soon she could make out the beloved silhouette of her favorite green fairy. "COSMO!" she shouted joyfully.
"WANDA!" he cried in anticipation, increasing his speed.
They met in the air with a jarring impact. Cosmo wrapped his whole body protectively around his wife. They flew back a few feet until they were able to stabilize their balance and began floating in place.
Cosmo stayed wrapped around Wanda like an octopus, unknowingly cutting off her air supply. "Oh, Snookie, I missed you SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH! I was so lonely and borred! Life wasn't the same without you! Don't you EVER leave me behind again, do you hear me?!"
Wanda wriggled within his tight grip. "Cosmo..."
"And all Timmy ate was junk food, and the place was SO dirty and nobody else remembered about the girls, but you know I could never forget you-!"
"Can't... breathe!"
"And everyone was marching around the streets, farting and burping and it was fun for awhile but then it got weird and I yelled at Timmy to wish you back but we couldn't so we broke down the wall and-" Cosmo broke off and looked down at his wife's blue face. "Oh, no! Wanda, are you okay? Wanda?!" Quickly, Cosmo loosened his grip and gently lowered her to the ground.
Wanda took in a gasping breath and began to cough.
Cosmo patted her back frantically. "I'm so sorry, dearest. Are you going to be okay?"
Wanda ceased coughing and cleared her throat. "I'll be fine, honey."
"Are you sure?" Cosmo asked.
"Yes, of course," Wanda assured him. She leaped back into his arms and he embraced her much more gently, but still tight enough that Wanda felt inexorably safe. "I missed you too, Cosmo. And I promise I'll never leave you again. I don't think my heart could take it!"
Completely in synch once more, the couple separated long enough to share a passionate kiss.
A moment later after he'd finished shooting couples with love arrows, Timmy spotted his godparents floating peacefully together, their fces serene and happy. Well it looked like he wouldn't have to shoot them after all.
Timmy aproached the pair hesitantly. As soon as he was close, Cosmo floated in front of Wanda protectively. Timmy looked over the green fairy's shoulder at his godmother. Her face had become stern and disapointed. Timmy lowered his eyes. "I'm... really sorry about everything, Wanda. I know you were just trying to help me. And I'm sorry for wishing you away. I never really thought you would leave, and when you did, I wasn't sure what to do. And I'm sorry for ruining your favorite holiday. I promise I won't ever do anything like that again. I was a stupid, insensitive, childish jerk. Will you ever forgive me?"
Wanda tried to remain stone faced but she couldn't help it when her expression crumbled to one of empathy and forgiveness. "Of course, Timmy. I know you didn't really mean it, you were just upset."
She smiled softly at him but he still looked sad. "Do you still love me?"
"Oh, Timmy..." How could he think she'd ever stop loving him? She flew around Cosmo and wiped a tear from his cheek. "I'll always love you, sweetheart. Always."
Timmy held out his arms and Wanda flew into them for a big hug. Cosmo smiled at his two favorite people embracing. Both Timmy and Wanda turned to him at the same time and held out their arms. Wordlessly, he joined them for a family hug.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Wanda watched with a smile as Timmy stuck himself with the love arrow and kissed Tootie. She was happy for the girl and knew in her heart that they would make a cute couple. Someday Timmy wouldn't have to shoot himself with an arrow to feel love for Tootie. And she'd be there to say I told you so.
"Aww, that's adorable!" Cosmo said as he watched the young couple kiss.
"Getting a bit awkward," he next remarked as it got a little deeper.
"Aaaaand now it's just gross," he said finally as Tootie began to devour his face in a less than cute fashion.
Wanda reached over and turned Cosmo's head to face her. "Uh, Puddin, how about instead of watching two minors make out you kiss your wife instead."
"I'm game!" He obliged her and soon they were lost in each other.
A few minutes later Wanda pulled back, grinning coyly. "So, stallion, we have four more hourrs of Valentine left. What do you want to do?"
Grabbing her hand, Cosmo floated higher in the air. "Let's go and be by ourselves somewhere with no interruptions. Ooh, I know, let's go back to our house in Fairy World!"
"But what about Timmy?" Wanda asked looking to their godchild down below.
"Aww, don't worry about him, Lollipop. He can find his own way home while we have some much deserved fun. So are you in?"
Wanda leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You know it. Lead the way!"
And with that, the couple poofed off to enjoy the Valentine's Day they deserved.
