After circling the same tree for about the fourth time, Wanda finally stopped, almost at breaking point.

"Cosmo stop!"

Surprisingly, Cosmo did so almost instantly, and turned to face Wanda.

"What?!"

"Why don't you just admit that you have no idea where you're going?"

"Oh you'd like that wouldn't ya'?"

Wanda slapped herself on the forehead. But by this point, Cosmo was really lucky that she didn't slap him. "I'd like it more if you could just embrace the fact that you're wrong so we can go back down to Earth and find them!"

"Well if you feel that way then why don't you just read more of that letter from Timmy?! Maybe a ten years old conversation skills will make you happier than mine do!"

"That my dear," Wanda began, sounding very sarcastic, "is the smartest thing you've said all day!"

So she did. She took the note from out of her pocket and unfolded it to the part where Timmy's so called advice began;

Did it ever cross either of your minds to not insult each other so much?! Everybody says things sometimes that don't make sense or are wrong, but that doesn't mean you have to yell at each other about it! I know that you both mean well, but words hurt. For once, take the time to think about how each other might be feeling.

Cosmo and Wanda looked up at each other after reading this, neither of them really knowing what to say.

"Uhh, Wanda..."

"No sweety, let me." Wanda said, interrupting her husband. "Timmy is totally right. I haven't been making you feel really upset have I?"

Cosmo pondered the thought for a moment.

"Do you want the honest answer or the nice one?"

Wanda's expression suddenly dropped after hearing this. "Oh Cosmo, I'm so sorry I've said so many hurtful things to you!"

"Me too honey!" The two fairies then smiled at each other. "We sure have been acting pretty childish lately, haven't we?"

Wanda nodded in agreement. "No wonder Timmy took Poof and left. I don't remember the last time I was with either one of them without getting angry at you and yelling."

They both hung their heads and sighed. It wasn't exactly the best feeling in the world to discover what cruddy parents they had been.

"Well we're not guna' make it up to them by just floating here are we?" Cosmo said, breaking the silence.

"You're right." Wanda replied to him with genuine admiration, perhaps for the first time in a while.

"So, we'll go down to Earth then?"

"Nah," she said with a smile, "we haven't even finished looking here have we?"

Cosmo smiled back at her as the two of them continued to float around, scanning aimlessly with their eyes with anticipation that they would have luck in finding Timmy and Poof with no major difficulties. But as they had hopefully learnt by now, you could never have any great expectations when it came to Timmy and his wreckless antics.

"Geez Poof, what have you eaten today?"

Poof laughed at the cringed look on Timmy's face as the mess that he left behind in his diaper was reluctantly cleaned up. But you probably didn't need to know those details aye?

"Remind me to tell Mummy and Daddy that I am never doing this again."

"That's ok Turner, by the time we're done with him, you won't have to do anything anymore."

Timmy turned around at the familiar boring voice he heard from behind him. Sanderson the pixie was floating there, lapping up the praise from H.P for making the call as soon as he had spotted Timmy and Poof alone in Fairy World. Along with the head honcho and his side kick was every other pixie from Pixies Inc. So I guess you could say the boys were pretty out numbered.

"Don't even think about running off Turner." H.P threatened him, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

Timmy considered his choice very carefully, before making the all important decision;

"Wait for me to finish up here, and we'll come peacefully."

"Sweety, it's getting dark." Wanda complained with obvious concern in her voice. "I'm getting worried about them."

"Uha, well you're just about to feel a whole lot worse than what you do now."

"Why d'you say that?"

Cosmo then unwillingly raised his hand and gestured across the street, pin pointing out no-one else but the one fairy the family tried to avoid when visiting Fairy World; Mama Cosma.

"Ohhh Cosmo!"

"Oh great…" Wanda spat, rolling her eyes.

"Hi Mam..ahh!" Cosmo choked as his mother hugged him tightly around the neck. How loving.

"Oh darling, you should've told me that you and Poof were visiting. I would've organised something around the house for the three of us."

"Oh yeah," Wanda said with that 'I hate my mother-in-law' attitude in her voice, "coz' Timmy and I mean absolutely nothing to you even though Cosmo loves… wait a minute!!"

Cosmo and Mama Cosma jumped at the explosive change of volume in Wanda's tone. "How do you know Poof is here?!"

"No need to shout Wanda! I may be old but I'm not deaf! Besides, between the two of us, you're the one with the older looks."

"Oh just shut up and listen for once will you!" Cosmo stepped right back when Wanda said, wait scrap that, screamed this. There was no way he was getting caught in the middle of one of their fights.

"Where did you see Poof?" Wanda spoke the words slowly and clearly, hoping for some sense to come of it.

"He was with Timmy," Mama Cosma began, in the same sluggish way, "they were with those square headed escorts with the pointy hats you see hanging around in those big office buildings all the time."

"Pixies!!" Cosmo and Wanda both exclaimed in fear.

"Yes, those fellows! But I'm just wondering why you weren't able to keep track of your own son Wanda! Not to mention what Jorgen would have said if anything happened to your godson."

"Hey Mama, don't talk to Wanda like that! She's a great mother and a great godmother too!" Cosmo cut in, finally standing up to his mother on Wanda's behalf. Wanda sneered at Mama Cosma as Cosmo placed his arm over his wife's shoulder. "Thanks heaps for your help Mama, but we've gotta' go rescue Timmy and Poof from the Pixies now."

Cosmo then blew Mama Cosma a kiss (though all she was doing was standing there still in shock from what Cosmo had said) before he and Wanda poofed out from Fairy World and popped up in front of Pixies Inc.

"Ready Cosmo?"

All Cosmo could do was gulp. Looking into the Pixie controlled world did nothing but remind him of the many dangerous adventures that they had encountered beyond the gates.

"What's wrong now?" Wanda blurted out, diminishing all the bad images in Cosmo's head.

"We can't just barge in there can we?"

"Yeah, you missed out on a lot while you were missing before Poof was born. Don't worry though, everything will be fine."

"But what if it's not?" Cosmo replied shakily, releasing his grip from Wanda.

"Would you stop being so ridiculous?!" Was the reply that came as she stared him down, beckoning him to get his butt through the entry.

"I'm not being ridiculous! It's not my fault if I'm…"

"Scared?" Wanda said, finishing his sentence for him. "You're scared of a bunch of boring, dull pixies?"

"Well it's not like it my biggest fear!"

"Oh yes, coz' I'm sure that will be something a lot less stupid!" She snapped at him. "Come on then, enlighten me. What's your biggest fear?"

Cosmo took the time to think about whether to tell Wanda or not. He knew full well what the answer was, but how to say it?

"That the world would end…"

"See I knew it! Something stu…"

"I'm not finished yet!!" He yelled at her and her attempt to interrupt him with an insult. "My biggest fear," he continued, "is that the world would end… and you wouldn't know how much I love you."

Wanda's heart skipped a beat as the words flowed from Cosmo's mouth. That was quite possibly the most adorable thing that he had ever said to her.

"Oh Cosmo!" She yelped out in happiness, wrapping her arms around his waist. He caressed her soft, pink hair and felt their two hearts beat as one as they held each other close.

"I'm not just saying it either." Cosmo replied as he sprung out of her grasp and took her hands. He looked deep into her big, beautiful eyes, as if he were in a trance. "I love you more than anything Wanda, and I know we fight sometimes, but nothing is ever going to make me stop loving you. Waking up and seeing your happy face, I just wana'…"

"Baby you're babbling."

"I know! But I just can't stop. There's so many words I can use to show you how much I care about you honey."

Wanda squeezed Cosmo's hands and looked at him lovingly. "I love you too sweety. So much."

"I'm sorry that I'm so scared… but I'll be ok. Anything to get our boys back."

"And we will." She said to him reassuringly. She was inspired by her husband's bravery, but there would be time to talk about how proud each of them was later. There was something else a tad more important that the two of them needed to worry about at the moment.

"Let's go."

Back at Dad's so I'll try and finish this story this weekend :]
