And now for the chapter we've all been waiting for...!


Will You Marry Me?

"So all of this happened when you two were kids right?" Timmy asked.

"Well young adults really, but I guess if you want to put it that way," Wanda said as she cleaned up the checkers all over the floor with her wand.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" Cosmo asked.

"When did you get married?" Timmy asked sitting down on his bed. "You couldn't have been dating forever. What happened when you two got married? What did your parents say?"

Wanda laughed. "So many questions. Alright, well, it was three years afterwards."

Cosmo kissed Wanda's cheek. "Now this I seriously remember like it was yesterday."

Wanda and Cosmo had been dating for a few years, they both were now 22. Their relationship had grown strong over the years, they were inseparable.

Even still, they still had that kind of Romeo and Juliet relationship. Their parents had caught them a couple of times which made them angry and earned lectures from both Mama Cosma and Big Daddy. Then there was Blonda who had become a famous celebrity a couple years back and insisted on tormenting Wanda not only over how she wasn't rich and famous but throwing insults at Cosmo and their relationship whenever the opportunity arose. Several times Juandissimo had been in town and was persistent in his attempts to take Wanda away but he didn't realize just how close the two of them had gotten in his absence. The only ones who really approved of their relationship besides themselves were their friends who they could openly show their feelings around without having to lie or hide.

One afternoon Wanda was sitting on a park bench by a fountain waiting for Cosmo. Fairy couples flew around hand in hand, kids played Frisbee and kickball nearby, and a few elder fairies sat on the benches feeding the birds.

She kept glancing around for Cosmo. He told her to meet him here at three o clock and it was almost 3:15. Typical Cosmo being late. She wondered why he asked her to come here. Maybe just to hang out for the afternoon? But if that were the case, why had he been so secretive about it?

Suddenly she saw a green haired fairy flying towards her. "Wanda!" He flew in between the kids playing Frisbee and was hit in the head with it. It knocked him out of the sky and he fell with a splash into the fountain.

Wanda flew over to him. "Cosmo, are you okay?" she asked as she helped him out.

"Yeah, I'm okay." He tripped over the edge of the fountain as he got out and fell on his face in the grass.

"Oh my goodness," Wanda said helping him get up again.

He stood up and squeezed his wet clothes and hair out. He leaned against her for a moment trying to regain his footing. Then he put his hands on her shoulders. "I need to ask you something."

"Um, okay. What is it?"

Cosmo was grinning from ear to ear. He'd put a lot of thought into this, three months of thought to be exact. He saved up as much money as he could and he consulted his friends on exactly how to do this. He'd been rehearsing exactly what he was going to say so much over the past few days that the fact that the words he'd written on his arm had washed off didn't matter. "I love you Wanda."

She smiled. "I know. I love you too."

"I mean I really love you Wanda. I love you more than anything in the universe, more than my life even. You were the first girl to ever talk to me and no one has ever made me feel the way you do." He got down on one knee and pulled a shining ring out of his pocket and slid it onto her trembling finger. "Wanda Fairywinkle, will you marry me?"

Wanda's eyes were wide in surprise. She was blushing so much almost her entire face was red. She had dreamed of this moment time and time again but she had never imagined that it would actually come. She gathered her mind and realized she hadn't responded yet. "Yes," she said. She bent down and kissed him as hard as she could. "Yes Cosmo, I'll marry you!"

"AWWWW!"

They looked around. Apparently the fairies at the park had been watching. The fairies who flew past gave them both congratulations.

Wanda hugged her boyfriend, well fiancé now, tightly. "I love you Cosmo!"

He kissed her. "I love you so much Wanda."


The next few weeks were spent wedding planning. Wanda's friends went with her to a dress maker and she ordered a beautiful dress which she refused to even tell Cosmo about no matter how much he begged. They even started decorating the chapel where they were having the wedding. Their friends threw them bachelor and bachelorette parties complete with strippers even though they had specifically told them no strippers. There was still one issue that they weren't sure about yet.

They were at a coffee shop a few days before the wedding sharing an iced tea.

"Cosmo?" Wanda said.

"Yeah honey?" he said as he ran his hand up and down her leg.

"What are we going to do about our parents? If they ever found out we're married, their heads will explode."

"Well…" Cosmo said as he thought. "We don't have to invite them."

"You're right. If we invite them they'll probably ruin it somehow."

"I've just got to find some way to get past my mother," Cosmo said.

Wanda nodded in agreement. "And my father…" She thought for a moment then her face lit up. "I've got an idea."


On the day of the wedding Wanda was in her room. She waved her wand and one by one poofed everything she needed out of her room and to the apartment she and Cosmo had bought yesterday. Her father had no idea what she was doing but she had her excuse all planned out for when she told him.

Suddenly the door opened and she froze when she saw Big Daddy come in. "What are you doing in here Wanda?"

She hid her wand behind her back nervously but then put on a defiant face. "I'm moving out."

"Where are you moving to?"

"Egypt," she said referring to the city in Fairy World that was dubbed Egypt because of the pyramids built there.

"Egypt? That all the way on the other side of Fairy World!" Big Daddy exclaimed. "Why are you moving so far away?"

"Daddy, ever since I broke up with Cosmo…" she poofed away the picture of Cosmo behind her. "It's been just too painful staying here with everything to remind me of him. So I'm moving away and I'm going to start over." She held his arm and gave him a pout. "You understand, don't you?"

Big Daddy patted her head believing it. For nearly a year he'd been under the honest impression that Wanda broke up with Cosmo. "Sure thing dear. What's your new address?"

Wanda froze for a moment. "Oh, um, I'll tell you later. I've got to get settled in." She poofed away everything else in the room then left herself. She ended up in front of the chapel where the wedding was taking place. Dana and Sparkle were waiting for her.

"What took you so long?" Sparkle asked.

"I had to get past my father," Wanda explained.

"Does he know?" Dana asked.

Wanda shook her head. "We're not telling him."

"How can you not tell your own father that you're getting married?" Dana exclaimed her and Sparkle both in disbelief.

"Because all he's going to do is try to ruin it. Cosmo's not inviting his mother either."

"Well, anyway," Sparkle poofed up a bunch of hair supplied and make up. "You know I haven't had anyone to work on for a while." She giggled. "This is exciting."


A little later Cosmo was in his house in his room with the door locked making all of his things that he needed to go the apartment and Wanda had bought. She had come up with the plan to do this secretly and then lie to their parents about where they were going. Once everything was gone he quietly went downstairs and found Mama Cosma at the bottom of the stairs. "Where are you going?"

"Who me?" Cosmo asked playing dumb.

"Yes you, who else?"

"Oh, um let's see…where am I going…?" He knew he should have thought this through. He had wanted everything to go off without a hitch today but he forgot to plan to tell his mother where he was going.

"Cosmo!"

"I'm going to go get milk," he blurted out. It wasn't very good, but it was the first thing he thought of.

"We need milk?" Mama Cosma asked raising her eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah. Can't make those brownies without milk, right mama?" He kissed her cheek. "See ya later."

"Get the right kind this time dear," she said.

"Right, will do." He flew out the door and flew a good distance away. He looked at his watch. It was two o' clock, he still had time before the wedding started. He poofed into his wedding clothes and the rings appeared in his hand.

Suddenly Jeff flew over to him in a black suit since he was Cosmo's best man and his dark brown hair was slicked back. He gave him a quick once over. "Nice."

"You think it's okay?" Cosmo said brushing a piece of lint off the smooth material.

"It's perfect."

They started flying down the street to the chapel. They came across a construction site and Cosmo wasn't paying attention to where he was going. He tripped over a cone, stumbled to the ground; the rings flew out of his hand and slid down the street. "Oh no!" He flew as fast as he could after them and right before he got them they fell into a gutter. He reached down and tried to get them but he couldn't reach them. "Damn it, damn it, damn it!" he mumbled.

Jeff flew over and looked down. "Those rings are gone."

"They can't be gone!" Cosmo exclaimed still trying to grab them.

"Dude, your arm is going to fall off if you keep doing that."

Cosmo pulled his arm out and stared down the gutter helplessly.

"What are you gonna do?" Jeff asked.

"I'm going to get them, that's what I'm gonna do!" Cosmo exclaimed.

"The wedding starts in 15 minutes though…"

"That's enough time." He opened the sewers and pulled Jeff in after him. They descended down into the dark dirty sewers underneath the streets of Fairy World. It was a bit too dark so they lit their wands for light. They walked carefully on the slippery concrete and searched the ground for the rings.

"Cosmo, this is ridiculous. They could be anywhere down here," Jeff said.

"If I don't find those rings Wanda's going to hate me though."

Jeff snorted. He knew that was far from true. "Wanda? Hate you? Yeah right." All of a sudden they heard what sounded like a roar. "What the hell?" They slipped from the surprise and fell into a big puddle. Jeff stood up and squeezed out his clothes. "This is the last time I go somewhere with you."

Cosmo was about to get up but then he saw something shiny. He crawled over to it and found that it was the rings. "I'm saved!" he exclaimed. He picked them up and put them in his pocket.

Jeff looked at his watch. "Five minutes." They poofed out of the sewer and to the chapel. Jeff stopped Cosmo before he went in. "Wait, you're all dirty."

They poofed themselves clean. Just as they were coming in the wedding was about to start. His friend Binky was standing inside the door waiting for him. "Cosmo, where were you? We were starting to think you wouldn't show up and Wanda would have gone into a panic."

"You didn't need to worry, I've got it all under control," Cosmo said with a smirk.

"It that why you smell like sewer?" Binky said spraying him with some cologne.

Cosmo handed the rings over to their ring bearer then took his place.

The music started. He took his place at the altar. Okay, he was nervous now. He'd been nervous before, but back then it had been replaced with panic, then relief at getting the rings back. What if he said something wrong? What if he forgot his vows? He had "I do" written on his arm for safe keeping, but the vows he'd committed to memory. Or at least he thought he had. Oh no, now he really had forgotten his vows! He surveyed all the exits. What would be the quickest, most discreet way to get out of here?

Then he saw her. She wore a long fluffy white gown with a big bow in the back and a waist length veil. Her long hair hung down and was curled into ringlets and she wore pink eye shadow which brought out her lovely eyes. Was this beautiful woman really his Wanda? How did he deserve this? He felt like his legs would give out if he didn't concentrate. He couldn't have said his vows even if he really did remember them now. At this point he couldn't even remember his own name.

Wanda walked up to him looking him in the eyes, mesmerized by him. She'd been beyond excited all day and now it was really happening. They were getting married; all of their dreams were coming true. She started growing impatient. She wanted to be up there with him, she wanted to run over into his arms. Finally she reached him and she took his hand.

They turned to the priest and he began the opening prayers and blessings. Then he told Cosmo to recite his vows. Surprisingly, they flowed out like water coming from a waterfall. It seemed like he was on the outside of himself hearing himself recite these words. After saying everything from the bottom of his heart without stumbling over a single word, she began her vows. She had told herself she wouldn't but halfway through she started crying. She cursed herself for it but Cosmo wiped away her tears.

"Cosmo, do you take Wanda to be your wife?"

Cosmo was tempted to look at the words written on his arm but thankfully he didn't need to. He remembered that too. "I do."

"Wanda, do you take Cosmo to be your husband?"

She was smiling from ear to ear so hard her face hurt. "I do."

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Cosmo leaned towards her but before he had hardly moved, Wanda pounced on him and kissed him as hard as she could.

Wanda looked at Cosmo in disbelief. "Our wedding rings fell down a sewer ten minutes before we got married?"

Timmy raised his eyebrows at Cosmo. "You never told her what happened?"

Cosmo slapped his forehead. "Aw man, I was trying to keep that a secret."

"Why?" Wanda asked.

Cosmo shrugged. "I don't know. I just didn't think you wanted to know, Wanda." He stroked her hand. "Come on baby, it doesn't matter. The important thing is we got married and our rings haven't fallen down another sewer…waterfall is another story…"

"What?" Wanda exclaimed. "Where was I when this happened?"

"Sleeping at the hotel. I wanted to wash them and they fell down Niagara Falls…"

"Cosmo!"

Timmy was cracking up now. Their little arguments amused him. They didn't realize how ridiculous it really was.

"Well, anyway, time for the god child to go to bed," Wanda said.

Timmy yawned. "But it's only 11:30." He yawned again.

Wanda poofed him into his pajamas. "And school is tomorrow and you're already yawning. At this rate you'll end up falling asleep in class." Timmy got under the covers. "Good night."

"Good night."

The lights turned off and she and Cosmo went into their castle in the fish bowl. Once inside, Cosmo swept Wanda off her feet and twirled her around. She giggled and kissed his lips passionately. "We didn't finish the story," Cosmo said.

Wanda raised her eyebrows confused. "What did we miss?"

He leaned close to her ear. "The honeymoon."

After the wedding they'd had a pretty wild reception. It was full of dancing and getting low laughing and having fun. Cosmo had shoved cake in Wanda's face and it started a big cake fight. By the time there was no cake left to throw, there was cake on everyone and everything and no one had gotten to finish a piece of it. There was no awkwardness at all since their parents hadn't come. After a lot more dancing and opening the presents they had received, they got on a limo their friends had ordered them and went to their honeymoon.

They were staying near Fairy Falls in a hotel in the honeymoon suite. Cosmo carried Wanda inside. He kissed her and put her down. Wanda looked around exploring the big luxury room with a red and white interior. "This is so nice." She flew over to the glass door to the balcony and went out to it. The view was incredible; they had a perfect look at the falls. The moonlight and stars were beautiful and they made the water down below sparkle. Cosmo came outside as well and she hugged him resting her head on his chest. "I'm so glad we're married Cosmo," she said softly.

"Me too Wanda. You're all I could ever need in my life." He kissed her lips deeply then he rested his forehead on hers. "I love you."

She ran her hand across his cheek. "I love you too." They kissed a few more times. "Let's go inside dearest."

They went back into the hotel room into the huge bedroom with the big heart shaped bed. This was it; this was what they had been waiting for. They were finally alone with no friends, no family, just two fairies in love. It was time to join their bodies together as one, heart and soul.

They took their shoes off and sat next to each other on the bed looking into each other's eyes. They were nervous about doing this. They'd never been together like this before.

"I've never done this before Wanda," Cosmo said looking down for a moment.

Wanda kissed his lips. "I know. Neither have I. But it's okay. I want you Cosmo. I want you to be my first." Cosmo leaned in to kiss her. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer not wanting anything else in the world at that moment but each other.

Wanda flew over to Cosmo who was now in the process of putting on his pajamas. She held his arms and stopped him from putting his shirt on. She ran her fingers down his chest and kissed his neck. "Hey, how about we finish this instead of talking about it?"

Cosmo didn't need to be told that twice. He kissed her hard and flew them over to their bed.


I couldn't resist putting the honeymoon at the end . I think this has been my favorite chapter to write so far.
