INVITATION TO BADLUCK
Chapter 01
Timmy was still asleep when all of a sudden a pair of beating chimes rung in his ears. He screamed, falling out of bed making a loud thud on the floor, followed by an 'oomph'. "Hey! What's the big idea?!"
Cosmo -poof-ed back to normal, grabbing a hold of Timmy's baby blue pajama shirt by the collar. "Timmy, it's an emergency!"
From the room below, Timmy's Dad asked what the commotion was. "Uh… nothing! I just had a nightmare."
"Okay, son!"
Timmy whispered grumpily. "How big's the trouble? And you better have a good excuse!"
"Timmy, it's Friday the 13th! You know what that means?"
"It means I'm about to strangle you, and become horribly frightened by bad luck," he scoffed. "Big whoop!"
"'Big whoop', huh?" A British voice cooed out of the blue. Timmy and Cosmo automatically knew whose voice that belonged to. From the window sill of Timmy's room stood the leader of Anti-Fairy World with his wife; dressed as mail people. The blue haired, blue skinned anti-fairy flew over towards the two. "Ello, Mr. Turner! Glad to see us?"
Timmy closed his eyes taking a deep breath, "Hmmm… what should a 15 year old teenage boy say on such a lovely morning? Let me think… No."
Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda's hearts crushed. "Awww… can we at least do something to cheer you up?" A thought came to mind, a curled hand hit his palm. "I have it!" He placed a cool finger on Timmy's nose, "Close your eyes. No peeking! I have an early Valentine's I want to give you."
Timmy blinked, he couldn't imagine his arch nemesis giving him a Valentine. "...Fine…," he agreed reluctantly as Anti-Wanda covered his eyes.
"Are you ready?"
Timmy nodded.
"O… kay… Open them!" When Anti-Wanda pulled her hands away, Timmy was curious what his tired eyes gazed upon.
In the hands of Anti-Cosmo held a green and blue glitter eyed black cat plush with a small card on it's collar. In the other hand held a rectangle shaped box wrapped in cosmic paper tied together with shiny green ribbon. Another card came paired with this gift too. The anti-fairy wore a genuine smile rather than a smirk. Something about these had to be special.
Timmy arched an eyebrow suspiciously, baffled by the anti-fairies' kindness. This isn't the real Anti-Cosmo, he thought.
The anti-fairy passed the said star wrapped present with excited eagerness in both his and Anti-Wanda's eyes. "Here- I'd like you to open this first. It's something precious we've kept dearly for five years. I thought now would be an excellent opportunity to present it to you."
Timmy gave a Anti-Cosmo a quizzical look before taking the gift and gently sat on the floor. He began by untying the ribbon, then placed the envelope on his knee. As Timmy continued unwrapping the paper, tossing it aside, the box accidentally opened itself revealing a picture frame reflecting off the sunlight. He held it up for a closer look.
The teenager let out an unexpected gasp of shock. Cosmo, Wanda and Poof quickly flew over to him. "What is it?" Wanda asked. Timmy couldn't answer fast enough.
Anti-Cosmo answered for him, "It's the photo of us that Anti-Wanda took when we first met on Friday the 13th five years ago! Call it an anniversary gift." He took the skull framed picture, "My, my, you were so small then." Lost in memories, a ring came from Anti-Cosmo's wrist watch. He rolled his sleeve up to discover it was already 7:30 am. He quickly gave it back and cleared his throat, "Well, Turner it was nice catching up with you, but I'm afraid we have bad luck like business to attend to. Bad luck isn't going to unleash itself."
He ruffled his hair and both anti-fairies kissed him on the forehead before poof-ing out of the Turner house. Timmy and Poof stuck their tongues out in disgust, "Yuck!"
Anti-Wanda came back stretching the blue cloud portal, dropping the cat in his lap. "Y'all gonna needs this!" The portal closed.
