Author's Note: Whoo hoo, another update! And it's super fast, since I had to make you guys wait so long last time. Are we even now? Wow, I got a few really nice reviews on the last chapter, so it's time for the review corner!

ImaginationGirl004: Thanks, I'm glad you like it! Updates will hopefully be faster.

Princess3170: *nervous laughter* Heh, sorry about the lack of updates. It's hard to get back into the swing of this story. And I don't want to kill anybody! So don't worry, the action starts this chapter.

Disclaimer: I still don't own FOP, no matter how many times you ask me. But every time you ask, I will inform you that I own Lexi, Diamond, and any other OCs you will meet.

Chapter 4

"Why are you lecturing me?" Lexi asked, flopping down on her bed and glancing up at her godmother with wide, unconcerned eyes. "You were with me the whole time."

Diamond sighed, exasperated. "That's not the point. You told your mother you were going to the park for an hour…not to the park, then to the moon to ride your skateboard without gravity, and then to Timmy's house to play video games for three and a half hours."

"Like I said, you were with me," Lexi replied, waving off Diamond's comment. "And I didn't get, like, assaulted or anything. Calm down."

This was the one part of being a godparent that Diamond absolutely hated. "It doesn't matter, Lexi. The point is, you told your mother one thing, and did another. That's not the way it works."

She looked so stern that Lexi held up her hands in a surrender position. "Okay, okay, fine. Sorry."

But Diamond didn't seem to be paying attention. She was staring straight ahead. Then she gasped. "Lexi. Look."

Though she was pointing at something straight ahead of her, Lexi glanced down at her hands first, and her blue eyes widened. They were glowing a bluish-purple color. Finally, she raised her eyes to see what on earth could be more startling than that. She got her answer.

There were two giant holes in the side of the house.

oOo

A few blocks away, Timmy had just been sitting down to another one of his mother's so-called "dinners" after an exciting day with Lexi, when the entire house shook from the loudest explosion that he had ever heard. Excusing himself quickly, he ran up the stairs and into his room to find his fairy godfamily staring out the window.

"You guys, what was that?" he asked, crossing the room to push his way past and see what was going on. Something slightly resembling snow – although this was multi-colored – was raining down from…it wasn't the sky. Timmy wasn't sure where it was coming from, actually.. He gaped. "Where's that coming from?"

"Maybe the school finally exploded!" Cosmo cheered, and Poof laughed in agreement, clapping his little hands excitedly.

"I don't think so," Wanda replied, shaking her head thoughtfully. "It's raining fairy dust – look."

She was right. The multi-colored specks were in fact the familiar substance of fairy dust. That was odd. Turning to his godparents, he frowned. "I don't know what happened, but I definitely know who caused it. I wish I had a phone."

Poof. One appeared in his hand. Timmy took a deep breath, and dialed the number that he had stared at for three straight hours the week before until it was stamped into his memory. A young, female voice answered. "Hello?"

Why was he feeling so nervous? She was just a girl. Possibly the most tomboyish girl that he had ever met in his life, but still…a girl. The other gender. A human, all the same. Timmy was so confused by his tangled up thoughts that, instead of saying hello, he blurted out, "Why's fairy dust raining down?"

For a few seconds, there was dead silence on the other end of the phone. It went on so long that Timmy nearly hung up, embarrassed, but then Lexi answered with a question of her own. "Why are there two gigantic holes in the side of my house?" He could almost picture her smirk.

"What are you talking about?"

She sighed in exasperation. "Just get over here! And bring your fairies." The line went dead. Timmy turned to his godparents, worried. What was going on? "I wish we were at Lexi's house."

oOo

Diamond had disappeared into the little hamster house just before Timmy arrived. She had been very mysterious, not telling Lexi exactly where she was going or what she was going to find. "Where's Diamond?" was Timmy's first question upon entering. His back was two the destroyed side of the house.

"She went to get something in the hamster cage," Lexi said absently. "Guys, turn around." They did, and all four of them jumped back.

It was, naturally, Wanda who recovered first. "What on earth happened, Lexi? And why are your hands glowing?"

"How should I know?" she exclaimed, fed up and suddenly exhausted. Whatever sort of magic she had produced had left her worn out. Thankfully, Diamond appeared before anymore assumptions could be made. She was holding a weathered, old looking book. When she placed it on Lexi's desk, dust flew in every direction.

Wanda gave her a wary look. "That book looks very familiar. You didn't happen to steal it from Jorgen, did you?"

"Hm." Diamond smirked. "Steal, borrow, whatever you want to call it. Anyway, it was over two hundred years ago. He'd never even remember I took it. You know, probably." She winced, then gingerly opened the book and flipped through the stained, wrinkled pages.

"What are we looking for, exactly?" Timmy questioned, leaning closer to try and read the faded words.

"Something that could explain all of this," Diamond answered vaguely. "Now shh! Be quiet; all of you. I have to concentrate.

The next few minutes passed in a tension-filled silence. Finally, Diamond cried out, "Here! Found it! Lexi, look at this." She pointed to the ripped page, and her goddaughter squinted down at it. It appeared to be a fairy family tree.

"I don't see any…wait a minute. Is that…me?" At the very bottom of the tree, there was a picture of a baby. Most of the picture was in black and white, like everything else in the book. Except for the eyes, which shone a bright blue.

The exact same blue as Lexi's eyes.

Underneath the photograph was a short description. Name: Alexis Julia Sanders. Gender: Female. Age (in photograph): One week. Species: Human/fairy hybrid.

Lexi's eyes grew wider and wider as she read the caption and studied the picture. It was Timmy who spoke first. "Whoa. You're a fairy hybrid!"

"Wow, really?" she asked, sarcasm dripping from her words. "I seriously didn't know. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, dude." If she hadn't just received the biggest shock of her ten year old life, Timmy would have taken offense to that.

Diamond grinned. "I always knew you were different, kiddo. And now you are." She paused. "In more ways than one."

"Poof, poof!" Poof agreed, bouncing in the air happily, not fully understanding what was going on, but knowing something exciting was happening.

Very suddenly, Cosmo yelled out, "Hey, Lexi! Guess what? You're a fairy hybrid! Isn't that awesome?"

She shot him a withering look. "No way. We totally didn't just figure that out ten minutes ago."

"Okay, good!" he replied happily, not comprehending her ongoing sarcasm.

"Wait a minute." Diamond lifted her light blue eyes from the book once again, having turned the page to read on. "Look at this." Everyone crowed around to read, and after letting it sink it, Wanda and Lexi glanced up at each other.

"Oh. My. Gosh."
