chapter 3; Wands and Wings, soap-opera drama things...

"Wake up sweety!" Poof opened his eyes. "Oh hey Anti-Wanda."

"Yer momma's on the telly-phone. She wants to talk to ya."

Poof frowned. He would rather fix breakfast or clean the house or, do a lot of other things besides talking to his mom. He took the phone and Anti-Wanda left. "H'llo."

"Poof, it's me."

"Me who?"

"You know who! And that was very rude of you to hang up on me like that yesterday!" She sounded really angry, and Poof could understand that.

"Is that all?" Poof asked. "You called to tell me my manners are awful?"

"NO!" She paused a minute. "Although, your manners do need improvement."

"Couldn't agree more." He said, hanging up. Two minutes later, the phone expectantly rang again. Poof answered. "Hello?"

"What was that for?" Wanda asked, furious.

"Me improving my manners." Poof said, as though Wanda should have known. "If I'm going to live in Anti-Fairy World, I should learn to be more rude and less polite."

She slapped her forehead. "Poof, we're not even getting to the point! I called to talk about something!"

"Well, if you're calling to apologize, you're doing a terrible job."

"I called to talk about getting your wand back!"

Poof's eyes widened. "You got it back?"

"Yes."

Poof couldn't believe it. A smile spread across his face, one he hadn't had in years. "Thanks Mom!" He said, a little too loudly.

"Anti-fairies don't say thank you!" Foop called to him from the kitchen. Poof's cheeks turned red, but he ignored Foop.

"Thanks." He said again, this time in a sort of a whisper.

"But Poof..." Wanda said. "They didn't just give me back your wand you know."

"I know. You had to pay a fine."

"I also had to do... something else..."

Poof's smile dropped. This didn't sound good. "What?"

"Your father and I- okey, just me, agreed that you need to be more responsible."

"I'm responsible." He said. "Ish."

"Right. Fairy Council agreed to let you have your wand back, without the fine, on one condition..."

"Jeez, mom, get to the point!"

"You have to, be a godparent again."

Now Poof was angry. "WHAT?"

"You NEED to do this Poof!"

"I do NOT! This was so not worth my wand back Wanda!"

"MOM!"

"WHATEVER!"

"Don't WHATEVER me! I'm doing you a favor!"

"Some favor." Poof mumbled. "So who is this stupid kid?"

"I don't know, you have to go to the Fairy Testing Building again to pick up the papers, and this kid isn't stupid!"

"How do you know?"

"Kids aren't stupid." Wanda paused a second. "Well, human kids aren't."

Poof knew his mom was calling him stupid, and he just hung up.
