Chapter 10

(Flashback)

It was a party of three. Cosmo and Wanda were enjoying a FairyVersary with an eight-year-old Sam. After the cake and music, hosted by Fairy Cowlick Jr., of course, it was time for presents.

Wanda and Cosmo gave Sam a black box. The card attached to it read:

You've been a great godchild, Sam.

Enjoy the rest of the party.

~Cosmo and Wanda

Sam smiled. She opened the box, which contained a magic wand with her name engraved on it.

"Hope you like it, champ." Cosmo said.

"Your name is magically engraved on it," Wanda said. "That means you're the only one who can activate its magic."

"So nobody else can use it, even if they said, "I wish"?" Sam asked in her shrill, little eight-year-old voice.

"That's right, it's for your use only. Though, you may only have one rule-free wish, you have an endless amount of other wishes, but those ones are restricted by the rules. Plus, it runs on battery power. So, use that wand for emergencies only."

"Awesome," Sam said as she inspected the wand.

"Jorgen Von Strangle has this new, crazy idea," Cosmo said as he bit into a piece of cake. "He's thinking about using muffins instead of wands now. And he says he's gonna put a single rule free wish on it."

"I know," Wanda agreed. "He also plans the use of the muffin to be for anyone. Such a stupid idea. And I can only imagine what would happen if it fell into the wrong hands."

"Yeah," Cosmo also agreed to that. "But if somebody accidentally made the world be ruled by apes, I really wouldn't mind that. And if that did happen, that godkid would have some serious guilt on his or her head."

"Hmm, wonder what the muffin would taste like," Sam wondered.

"Oh, who cares about some muffin, Sam," Wanda said. "Let's make some wishes now."

Before Sam could even open her mouth, her mom barged in.

"WHAT'S GOING ON IN HERE?!" The naturally angry parent exclaimed. Then, she noticed Cosmo and Wanda.

The next thing Sam knew, her, Cosmo, and Wanda were literally thrown out of the house.

"And stay out!" The mom said before slamming the door shut and locking it.

Sam looked up at her godparents.

"Well," Wanda started. "What do we do now?"

"Well, now that I don't have a home anymore," Sam sighed. "I don't know what I'm gonna do. But I guess you guys have to go to Fairy World now." As she said this, her eyes traveled from her godparents, down to her shoes, very slowly and sadly.

"But we can't just leave you all alone," Cosmo said. "What's gonna happen to you?"

"I don't know, but the rules are rules," Tears began rolling down the eight year old's face. "You have to leave."

The three of them hugged each other, tightly. "We'll miss you, champ," Cosmo said with tears pouring down his face.

"We'll never forget you, sweetie," Wanda said, also crying.

After saying their good-byes, Cosmo and Wanda POOFed away.

The only thing left for Sam to do was to leave town. She had nowhere to go. Wasn't Jorgen supposed to erase my memory? Sam asked herself.

She got to the edge of her town. "Good-bye Dimmsdale," The poor child said. "Forever."
