Chapter 7: Plans A and B are a bust!

The next day, Poof and Gabriel went back to the park. Poof played with Marie leaving Gabriel feeling quite lonely. But no one noticed.

Timmy walked over to the slide right as Poof was about to slide down. "Hey Cosmo," he said, even though Cosmo wasn't there. "It's too bad that Poof had to be bored because we weren't paying attention to him! If he were to come home, we would give him a lot of attention!" Poof ignored him and slid down. He followed Marie back up the slide again.

Timmy looked rather annoyed about something. "I said- WE WOULD GIVE HIM A LOT OF ATTENTION!"

"Cosmo- that's your que!" Wanda whisered. She and Cosmo were on the swings waiting for Timmy's que.

"What's a que?"

"Just go and say your line!"

Cosmo walked over to Timmy and looked down at the paper. He read slowly- like a first grader. " 'You're- right- Tim-my-I' -wait! Timmy, what's this word?"

Timmy slapped his forehead. "WE!"

"We? What kind of we? We the people? Oui Oui, monsherry? Super Mario Brother's Wii?"

"Cosmo, just read the stupid paper already!"

" 'we-would-play-' -what's this word?"

"Spaceman!"

" 'space-man-with-him.- And-' I'm hungry!"

"Cosmo- that's not what it says!"

"No, I mean, I'm hungry!"

"Cosmo-read!"

" 'And-give-him-lots-of-a-tten-tion-he-di-sserves!' Can we go now Timmy?"

"No! Now Poof, don't you want to go home NOW?" Timmy looked and saw that Poof had gone to play on the monkey bars. He was floating and holding Marie up while she did her turn.

"And now he LEFT!" Timmy said angrily.

"Why don't we just let him play? And go get something to eat?"

"Cosmo, Poof's family is here with us! It would be kind of weird for him to have a girlfriend that was a human! Then again, everyone in Fairyworld is older than him!" Timmy looked at Cosmo. "If you don't mind me asking, how much younger are you than Wanda?"

"A year I think. Could have been two ?"

"Poof wants a girlfriend, and Wanda wants him to have fairy friends! I got an idea!"


"I don't understand!" Cosmo let Timmy fix the pontails in his hair. "How will this work?"

"You fly over to Poof and say things to make it obvious you're a fairy baby! Then Wanda comes and asks Poof if he'll quit being a godparent and come home so he can spend time with Carly- that's you- and Poof will come home!"

"I don't know Timmy. Do you really think Poof will fall in love with me and not Marty?"

"It's Marie, and duh! Marie's just a human- you're a fairy!"

"Okey." Cosmo floated over to Poof, who was pushing Marie on the swing. "Hi, cute boy! I'm Carly, and I loooooooooove fairy babies because I am a fairy baby!" Cosmo batted his eyelashes. "Don't you want to give up being a godparent and go live with your old family again?"

Wanda poofed in. "Wow Poof, I'm impressed that you made a fairy girlfriend! If you quit being a godparent, you'll be able to spend more time with Cosmo- uh I mean Carly!"

Poof figured out the plan (If he's so smart he can read, did you think he'd be dumb enough to fall for that? He could tell Carly was just Cosmo.) Poof waved his rattle and poofed himself and Marie away.

"Well that didn't work!" Timmy said.

"Gee, you think?" Wanda said sarcastically. "Look at him, he's so happy with her! It's really upsetting!"

"How?" Timmy asked.

"She's a human Timmy. Fairies and humans are different!"

"But didn't fairies evolve from humans or something?" Timmy asked.

"Um, no! Atleast, I don't think so!" She thought about it. "Timmy, fairies have bigger intellegence than humans! And they're more powerful too! Watching Poof have a human friend is like watching a human date a monkey! Maybe fairies did evolve from humans Timmy, but we're too different to have a close bond."

"Gee Wanda, it's so nice to here you complaining about humans!" Timmy said sarcastically.

"Timmy, I'm not saying humans are bad! Atleast, not when they're kids! Human kids are playful and imaginative, but human adults are uncreative and start wars and are greed and selfish, you see the point I'm trying to make here?"

"No," Cosmo said. "But I wasn't listening anyway!"

"Are you saying you don't want Poof to be friends with her when she grows up?" Timmy asked.

"Yes Timmy. That- and I don't want him to turn into a human himself! That's what would happen if he stays with her forever! Either he would decide to age with her or he would reveal our existence and be turned into a human!"

"Oh." Timmy knew Wanda was telling the truth, but he also knew Wanda was just making up excuses. She didn't like adult humans. And Marie would eventually grow up to be one.
