Chapter 7
The next morning Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof all awoke to some fighting like noises. They all looked outside to find Carl Jr. fighting with a larger ant.
"Why is Carl Jr. fighting like this?" Cosmo asked his wife.
"He's probably defending our territory from that other ant." Suddenly, Carl Jr. was knocked down to the ground by the larger ant. The larger ant stood over the smaller ant, ready to take the final blow.
"Carl Jr.'s hurt!" Cosmo streaked. ""We should help him!" He flew to the larger ant.
"Cosmo come back! It's too dangerous!" Wanda shouted after her husband. Before Cosmo had a chance to turn hid head around and say something to his wife and son, the larger ant knocked Cosmo to the ground. He fell unconscious.
"COSMO!" Wanda screamed, seeing her husband fall to the ground. "Come on Poof!" She motioned Poof to fellow her. Wanda and Poof went closer.
"Dada?" Poof said as he saw his unconscious father on the ground. Then the fairy baby narrowed his eyes. He went quickly to a nearby hose, and filled his water squrter with water. He then aimed the squrter at the ant, and then squirted water out at the ant. The ant looked at where the water was coming from; the ant went straight toward the fairy baby. Wanda let out a gasp.
"POOF NO!" Wanda screamed rushing over to defend her baby from the ant. When she was between the ant and Poof she picked up a stone, and threw as hard as she could at the ant. The ant looked at the stone being thrown at him. She threw some more stones at the ant until the ant gave up and left to find another territory. Wanda took some gentle breaths, and then floated to Join Poof with the unconscious Cosmo.
"C-Cosmo?" She asked nervously. There was no answer.
"Cosmo please, please don't leave me!" Wanda began to have tears in her eyes. Poof looked at his sad mother, and squirted Cosmo's closed eyes with the remaining water in his toy. Wanda stopped her baby, and was beginning to leave with him, until a soft voice stopped them.
"Poof? Wanda? Is that you?" Cosmo asked, sitting up.
"Cosmo?" Wanda asked hopefully, she turned around. When she saw her husband, she felt relieved and quickly went over to hug him.
"Cosmo, I'm so glad you're all right. I thought you were a goner!" She said, still hugging him. Cosmo hugged her back.
"You're know I'll never leave you in a billion years. You and Poof are too good to me." Then he stopped hugging her, and suddenly gasped.
"Oh my gosh, Carl Jr.!" He looked until he saw the ant laying still. Cosmo floated over to him, placing his hand on his body,
"Carl Jr, you're ok?" he asked. The ant looked at Cosmo with sad eyes and moaned. Then the ant put his head down.
"Carl Jr.? Cosmo asked nervously. The ant did not reply.
"Carl Jr!" Then Cosmo put his head in his hands and began to cry. Wanda floated to her husband and placed her hand around him.
"There, there." She consoled him. "It'll be all right, you're see." Cosmo cried on his wife's chest.
A few moments later, Wanda looked up. Mrs. Turner opened the window, placed a vase of flowers on the windowsill, and left.
"Look Cosmo!" She exclaimed. Cosmo looked up.
"The window is open. We can finally get inside! Come on!" She started flying up to the open window. Poof and Cosmo followed her. Then Cosmo took one more glance at the motionless ant.
"Bye bye Carl Jr." he waved and sniffed goodbye. Then he continued after his wife and son toward the window. Suddenly it stated to rain. Wanda looked down at Poof and Cosmo.
"Careful, when you're big rain is no problem, but when you're small it can be really dangerous." She warned them. They began dodging the oncoming rain drops. When they reached the top, Wanda grabbed a hold of the windowsill, and held out her other hand for Cosmo. A fast raindrop fell on Poof's head, he began to fall.
"Poof no!" Wanda screamed.
"Don't worry, I'm coming little Poof!" Cosmo shouted coming after Poof.
"Cosmo be careful." Wanda warned. When Cosmo got close to him, he grabbed onto Poof. Wanda sighed in relief, and then got nervous again. A raindrop fell, forcing Cosmo and Poof closer to the ground.
"Cosmo! Poof, no!" she screamed. She was about to let go when she saw her brave husband picking up speed holding Poof in his arms. They dodged every raindrop that dropped by, when they were closer Cosmo held out his hand. Wanda grabbed Cosmo's hand with her hand, then pulled Cosmo and Poof to safety onto the windowsill. When they got inside Wanda and Cosmo laid exhausted. They never worked so hard in their entire lives!
