Chapter 4: Cosmo's Confession

"Where in the world is Cosmo?" Jordan asked, after they played "Go fish" 20 times in a row. Cosmo has been gone for exactly three hours straight.

"Perhaps I should go and find him." Wanda said putting down her cards.

"Take care of Poof while I'm gone" She told Jordan. She was about to go when Timmy shouted.

"Wait, Wanda! I think I know where Cosmo went."

"Where?" She asked.

"He's in the mall at Fairy world."

"Why is he in the Fairy world mall?"

"Well…he…" Timmy stumbled on his words. He had a feeling Cosmo was there, buying Wanda a gift, but he didn't want to tell her that.

"Well?" Timmy couldn't hold it in any longer.

"He's at the mall buying you a gift!" he finally blurted out.

"Oh no!" She shouted. "Come on Timmy, we got to find him, he may get lost."

"But what about his gift?"

"I don't care about my gift; all I care about is getting my husband back!" Then with a poof from her wand, she and Timmy were gone.

"Mama?" Poof asked in a curious voice.

"Come on Poof; let's play Krocae until she gets back." Jordan assured him. Poof didn't move.

"Come on Poof, she'll be back soon." Poof still didn't move.

"Poof?" He waved his hand in front of Poof's face. "Earth to Poof, come on she'll be back. Don't worry."

"Mama!" And with that, he broke out with a loud wale of tears. \

"Fine!" Jordan gave up with his hands covering his ears, with the other fairies. "We'll play Krocae by ourselves!" He said heading outside. "Earplugs Krokae." He added stomping out, leaving the crying fairy baby lone in Timmy's room.

Meanwhile Cosmo was at the mall, rushing and throwing stuff from the shelves.

"Oh where can I find something that I can give her that is better then Timmy's? He asked himself. He stopped to think.

"Come on, think, think!" Suddenly, he felt something in his ear. He looked up to see a video camera tube sticking down into his right ear.

"Why is there a camera tube sticking in my eardrums?" he asked. He was started by a sudden voice.

"Oh, sorry." Said a fairy with a movie hat and a clapper board. "We're just filming a doctementry about the fairy ear, and it just so happens that your ear is going to be the star of the film."

"Really?" He asked, with wide eyes.

"Yup. Oh, my name is Gill Firymire." Gill showed Cosmo his ID.

"So how long do I have to sit here?" Cosmo asked when Gill put his ID back into his pocket.

"The filming will be done in an hour." Gill told him.

"But I have to get a gift for my wife's party."

"That's too bad, because you're not moving until we're done." Gill went over to his director's chair. Cosmo sighed. Now he had to wait an entire hour, until he can continue his search for the "Perfect" gift.

"Ok, everybody ready?" Gill asked his movie crew. "3...2..." A crew member worked the clapper board. "Action!" he shouted with a mega phone, and the film started rolling.

"Oh Wanda, how can I ever make you happy?" Cosmo whispered, holding and looking at a picture of his wife.

"Ok, we're just look for Cosmo, then its back to the party." Wanda told Timmy when they poofed at the entrance to the mall. They gasped at all the fairies when they were inside.

"Great." Timmy said, looking at Wanda. "How are we ever going to find him in this mess?"

"Tell you what," Wanda told him. "You go that way," She pointed left. "And I'll go this way." They started to go in their assigned directions.

"I just hope we can find him before the cake is all gone." Timmy mumbled to himself.

58 minutes later, all the filming crew packed up, and headed home.

"Ok, you're free to go." Gill said, writing something in his notebook.

"Oh thank you, thank you!" Cosmo said, shaking the director's hand.

"Well, have a good party!" Gill said leaving. Cosmo didn't answer, he just continued his search.

"There you are!" Timmy shouted, rushing towards him. Cosmo screamed in shock, dropping at what he was holding, and turned to look at Timmy.

"Oh, hey Timmy!" he said, continuing to look.

"Boy, Wanda was worried about you."

"She was?" he stopped at what he was doing and looked at Timmy.

"Of course she was, now let find Wanda so we could go back to the party. Timmy started walking, but Cosmo stayed put, searching.

"Cosmo, did you hear me? Let's go back to the party." Timmy pulled Cosmo's arm.

"I can't yet." Cosmo replied.

"And why not?" Timmy put his arms on his hips.

"I'm still looking."

"Looking for what?"

"For the perfect gift for Wanda."

"You already gave her something."

"No I didn't." Cosmo didn't understand what his godson was talking about.

"Yes you did."

"No I didn't!"

"Cosmo come on." He pulled Cosmo's arm again. "The party can't wait forever."

"Sure it can."

"No it can't!"

"Yes they can!" Cosmo was getting angry now.

"Look Cosmo, you love her, that's what she always wanted from you!"

"Really?" Cosmo's eye's wided.

"Yes! Now come on, let's go!" So, off they went to go find Wanda.

"There you two are!" Wanda said. Cosmo stopped in shock at his wife.

"Now come on, Poof must be worried sick wondering where we are." She and Timmy started for the door.

"Wait!" Cosmo holler. They stopped. "I think I dropped Phillip on the floor somewhere."

"Sweetie, Phillip's at home." His wife reminded him.

"No she's not; I know she's around here somewhere." He answered, looking on the ground.

"Cosmo, you are being preposterous." She said, tugging on his arm. "Now come on!" Cosmo didn't budge.

"Cosmo I said come on!"

"It's just that…" he stumbled, thinking up another excuse.

"Just what?"

"Well I…"

"Pssst, Cosmo! Just tell her the truth!" Timmy wisped to him.

"What truth?" she asked. Are you hiding something from me?" she narrowed her eyes.

"Well... I…"

"Spit it out!" Cosmo began to cry.

"Ok! I confess I forgot your present!" he cried. "I'm sorry! I'm the worst husband ever!" he put his hands in front of his face.

"Cosmo, what are you talking about?"

"Your present, I was too selfish this week that I forgot! Now you, Timmy, and Poof will hate me forever! It's all my fault, I'm such a jerk. It's all my fault!" he cried some more.

"Cosmo, you already gave me a gift." She laughed.

"No I didn't!"

"Yes you did, you gave me what you give me every year."

"Well, Poof didn't give you anything either!"

"He gave it to me earlier."

"What's that?" he wiped away a tear.

"He was born, and he and Timmy helped us to fulfill our dreams."

"Yeah, but he didn't give you anything."

"He gave me the exact same thing that you gave me."

"What was that?"

"Love." She smiled.

"You mean that's all you wanted?"

"Well kind of." She flouted over and touched her husband's shoulder.

"You see Cosmo, You and Poof gave me the ultimate gift of all, love from you hearts."

"So, you're not mad?" he asked, wiping away another tear.

"Of course not." She said. "Not one bit."

"Really?" his eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Ya-hoo!' he jumped into the air. "Now lets go" He, Timmy, and Wanda all poofed back to the party.

"Thank heavens you're back." Jordan said when he saw them. Poof stopped crying and hugged his mother.

"For a cute tiny boy, he is loud when he's crying." Binkey said.

"It's ok Poof, I'm back, and you don't have to cry anymore." Wanda consoled her child. Poof smiled up at her, and waved his rattle.

"Thank goodness, that's over," Jordan said, rubbing his head with his hand. "I didn't think the crying would ever stop. Now how about some cake, I'm starving."

"Ok!" Wanda said. With that all the fairies rushed to the table fir cake.

"Make a wish honey." Big Daddy said as soon as they were gathered around the table. Wanda thought a moment, and then blew out the candles.

"What did you wished for?" Cosmo asked, after they were down applauding.

"Can't tell you, it's a secret."

"Come on! I'm you husband, you got to tell me!" He begged. She shook her head.

"Come on, just give me a little hint." She shook her head again.

While her husband was on his knees still begging, she thought about her wish: to love her husband for as long as she lived.
