Another day, another dollar. Well that's what some would say. Although in Timantha's case, it was another headache.
On this perticular day her parents had to go to a business meeting. On a Saturday? Sure why not. Sadly the problem lied with who they called over to watch her. If you guees it was a red head with the mindset of the devil then you'd be correct. As the little girl was getting ready to hang out with her friends, the door slammed open and in its wake stood Vicky.
As her eyes landed on Timantha's, there was a brief silence. "... Still a girl huh?"
"Yep"
"Shame really."
"How so?"
"Since it's not the same. How am I supposed to..." Vicky was cut off by Timantha running upstairs and minutes later returning wearing that skimpy maid outfit.
"Better?" Timantha asked.
"So much better." Vicky replied with a sultry look.
As the two got comfortable on the couch Timantha had to ask what was on her mind. "Hey Vicky.. why are you back from your trip so early? I thought you'd be gone for a few weeks."
"Well it is true I was supposed to be gone for two more weeks but I ran into some weird guy who for some reason I felt obligated to talk to about all my problems and worries."
"So is that the reason your being nicer to me?"
"Hmmm... Not really, but let's just say I had a lot to think about and I promise to do better by you and Tootie."
Timantha was at peace with that. If they could become friends then it would become a huge weight finally freed from her shoulders.
As the two sat there watching TV the doorbell rung. Vicky got up to oepn the door. When she did she saw none other than Trixie standing there with a look of confusion on her face. "Um excuse me, but is this the Turner residence?"
"Yes it is, now who are you and what do you want?"
"I'm here to talk with Timantha. It's really important."
Vicky looked at her and could tell something was off she told Trixie to give her a second. She went back and told Timantha who it was.
"Oh crap..."
"What's wrong with you? I thought you liked her."
"I did at first, but then I found out that no matter how hard I be nice or change for her, she'll never change from being the rich stuck up girl she was always raised to be."
"Ah, so what do you wnat to do?"
"I have an idea. It's a long shot but it might work. Vicky when I let her in, no matter what you hear upstairs... I need you to stay calm and let me handle it OK?" She asked getting up and grabbing the phone.
"Uhhh OK, but who are you calling?"
"My boyfriend. Right now...he's the only hope I have to settle this whole ordeal peacefully, but if not...then ima have to pull out all of the stops."
Vicky was surprised to hear this. Her twerp had a boyfriend? Talk about a mind... You all know what I mean. Vicky just looked on at the door then back to her charge. With a sigh and a fake smile, she opened the door and let Trixie follow Timantha up to her room. She then headed to the couch to watch the nature show marathon.
Upstairs things were a little awkward to say the least. Trixie looked around the room to see it was completely bland.
"What's wrong having a hard time being in a...normal room for once?" Timantha asked with a hint of sarcasm. Trixie remained silent. A few minutes later they heard the doorbell ring and that was what Timantha was waiting on. Trxie saw her face turn into a happy one, which didn't sit right with her. She wanted answers, but didn't know how to go about asking them.
Soon a few knocks came from the door and the buck-tooth girl rushed to open it. As she did she saw none other than DL in his human form with a loving smile on his face. "Hello my love." he said planting a long soft kiss on her lips that almost made her fall.
She felt like a slice of heaven was in front of her everytime he showed her how much he loved her. Trixie looked at the two with rage and was about yo pull them apart when DL broke their little greeting much to his girls dismay.
Timantha noticed he saw Trixie and decided it was time to get down to business. The girl brought a chair for Trixie and took DL to her bed. When everyone was settled it was Trixie who started.
"So before I get into why the heck you have a boyfriend...mind telling me why you look like Timantha? Timmy?"
"So now you want to remember my name huh?" The girl scoffed back.
"I'm sorry what was that?"
"Oh my apologies your royal highness... I said now you want to remember my name?" Timantha replied with a raised voice.
Trixie stood up and slowly approached the girl. "I don't understand what's with the hostility. I just came over hear to ask some questions."
"Please you and I both know why your really here. It's to yell at me, to scream and shout at me, asking if what happened at the mall was a lie, was I just using you to get popular, or oh should we start with why I didn't come to your party as this!" she yelled pointing to herself.
" Yeah, lest start with that. Tell me why! Why would you stand me up like that? I told all of my friends a cool popular girl like me would be coming but In her place was you. I was happy you came clean with liking girl stuff but it's just not the same."
"Oh please, I never cared about that. It's true that I found new respect for the things girls do and I did enjoy a few of them, but what was wrong with me telling you that? That's what you told me at the mall. All you wanted was for a friend who likes you for you. Not for what you like or who you like."
Trixie was quiet. She was thinking this was a horrible mistake but her rage once again blinded her mind." If that's true then why didn't you show up at my party as Timantha? Was that little crossdressing fiasco just to get close to me?"
" Now wait just a dam minute! I never used this form to get close to you for any other reason besides seeing what you wanted for your birthday. Can't you understand I just wanted go make you truly happy. Sadly it seems like everytime I try I get rejected even before I come within twenty feet of you. It's not fair! Why the hell do i have to try so hard just to get you to notice me, to at least just say hi!" Timantha was breathing hard while DL was trying to calm her down.
" All I wanted was to give you a friend that would accept you with all that baggage you call popularity clinging to your shoulders."
"I understand you want yo help. But..."
"No! Don't you dare...!" Timantha yelled. "Tell me right here to my face, that if I would have approached you as a boy, as Timmy, then you would have never hung out with me at the mall. Tell me how you would have never even thought of talking to me in public!"
"I... I... Fine! Maybe your right. Although I try yo break those habits, I really do, but when your me, people expect you to act a certain way or hang with certain people 24/7. So yes, I would have spent the whole day with Timantha again but for Timmy... you're right I couldn't be seen talking with that version of you."
"See and that's what irritates me the most...you can't even except that the girl and boy are both sides of me. The boy loves to play games and read comics, while the girl loves getting her nails done and cuddling with the one she loves."
"Oh so is that why your wearing such a skimpy maid outfit?"
Timantha blushed. "Absolutely not! When Vicky baby sits me when my parents are gone for the weekend, she tends to make me do chores in this, so everytime she comes over it's like a force of habit."
"Well you do look really sexy in it though" Trixie thought.
"Look, I just need to know what are we supposed to do then?"
"Trixie... I would love to have you as a girlfriend, but..." She looked at DL. "Could you honestly say right here that you would except both sides of me? And even in public show me the respect I deserve instead of just humiliating me just to keep up appearances?"
"I... I could try... I really could?"
"Could you really? Would being around Tad, Chad or Veronica... invoke you to be rude or disrespectful towards me?"
The rich girl was now silent. And Timantha sighed. "See that's what I mean. I may not be rich or have status like some but DL still loves me unconditionally. Even when I was boy and he confessed to me, I... I was scared at first since I didn't know what would happen. But no matter what he stayed by my side. If someone made fun of me he would beat them up in a heart beat and if I felt like I was scared or in danger, he would always appear when I need him.
That's the kind of love I wanted to give you, but you have to except me for me. Not for this! "she pointed to herself.
It was a lot to ask but she would have to try if she wanted to gain the trust of the person she held so much love for. She nodded and headed for the door. " Will we ever be able to hang out at the mall like before? " she asked in a low hurtful voice.
"Anytime is fine with me, as long as I can bring two body guards of my own." she smiled.
"I'll hold you to that." she looked towards DL and her eyes stared into his own, "Please...take care of them both."
"You have my word! I would give this very life to keep her safe."
Trixie nodded at the response and left the room.
Trixie was now headed towards the door when Vicky spoke. "Guess you didn't get what you wanted huh?"
"She...she needs someone who can love her for who she is, the boy and girl."
"Let me give you some advice and tell you a little secret. The advice, I know your rich, but the twerp doesn't care about any of that. All the kid wants is someone to love and love em back. Now for the secret, did you know the kid is loaded? I babysit the brat every weekend and his or her parents lend me a wad of cash." She reached in her pocket and pulled out a load of clipped bills.
Trixie was blown away. The red head was holding more than $20,000. " I don't understand, if he's I mean she's as rich as me, why not show it I fluant it? "
" Simple...she wants people to accept her for her. Weirdness and all. No amount of money or possessions will grant her real friends. She knows that and that's why she refuses to use her money for such things. All I'm saying is loose the rich attitude and you may just gain more then a friend from her. You may just gain someone special. After all...she gave someone as mean and horrible as me a second chance at happiness!"
With those words Trixie left the house and headed home with a heavy heart and a mind filled with so much confusion.
Back up in Timantha's room, said girl was crying her eyes out. She was torn with how harsh she had to be with Trixie but she was even more torn with how Trixie thought she just used her Timantha personal just to get close to her.
DL didn't say anything. He just tightened his grip around her waist and let her cry. She was glad he was there since she needed a shoulder to cry on now more than ever.
A few hours passed and Timantha had cried herself to sleep. DL carefully put her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. As he turned towards the door he stopped after hearing a voice snicker.
"Seriously after all this time you think I would get used to the both of you but it seems you still find ways to surprise me." he said slowly turning back around to look at Cosmo and Wanda.
"I'm gonna be upfront, I don't trust you with our God child. You are a villian and that won't lead to the love she's looking for.
" Wanda...can you honestly say I don't love her? After all I've done! No matter if it's you or anyone else, I will have you acknowledge my love is true, whether you like it or not. And if you really belive I'm still a villian, than ask Timantha what happened during our time together, ask her what really happened and you might just be surprised how good I can truly be!" he glared at her. She felt a chill go up her spine but remained silent.
As he headed downstairs he saw Vicky looking back at him."Your gonna have to tell me how you got the twerp to fall for you. Seriously."
DL chuckled. "You may not belive me if I told you, but if your able to have an open mind, you may just be surprise how it happened."
"Can't wait."
The bit smirked at headed out the door in order to be beamed to his ship for the night. But as soon as he closed the front door, he was faced with two people he thought were locked up or at least dead.
He looked to the one on the left, "It's been too long Neha Chin." the he looked to the one on the right with his rage starting to rise. Soon cosmic energy started to surround him. "It's been way too long Double H! I almost forgot we have a little score to settle!" he shot a death glare at the only one who scarred the person he loved.
