Forever's Beginning Chapter 10
When the doors opened at 7:00, young fairies poured into the gym.
Already there was music playing and lights flashing.
Gem and Andi agreed to meet at the dance, so Gem and Cosmo were waiting in the back of the school.
Gem had his sleeve rolled up, and was going over his checklist one more time.
"Suit, check. Hair, check. Flowers, check. Cool! I didn't forget anything."
"Hey Gem, why'd you write on your arm?"
"So I wouldn't forget anything!" he laughed.
Cosmo pondered it briefly, but stopped when he heard his name.
"Cosmo!" Wanda waved.
Wanda and Andi made their way over to them.
"Doesn't Wanda look pretty tonight?" Cosmo asked dreamily.
Gem chuckled. "Dude, you got it bad."
"Huh?" Cosmo asked him. "Got what?"
As the girls got closer, Gem adjusted his tie and stood up straight. "Hey Andi!" he greeted. "These are for you." Gem handed her a large bouquet of flowers.
"Aw, thanks." Andi said with a blush.
"Hi Cosmo!" Wanda greeted cheerfully.
Cosmo stood there in complete awe.
He had never seen Wanda in a dress before…
"You, you, lo- look so pretty." Cosmo stumbled out.
Wanda blushed furiously and glanced down at her feet.
"Thank you." she replied.
"Well come on!" Andi yelled. "Let's get in there!"
They all made their way inside, and found a table.
Naturally, the first thing Gem and Andi did was head out back for a smoke.
"Nice night, eh?" Gem commented.
"Yeah, it is."
Gem and Andi could still hear the music, even though they were outside. So they immediately noticed when a few minutes later, the DJ switched over to a slow song.
"Care to dance m'lady?" Gem asked with a magnificent flourish and a bow.
Andi laughed. "You dork."
"Your dork." He corrected.
"Touche." Andi chuckled.
Andi flew over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Gem gently placed his hands around her waist.
They steadily swayed back and forth.
Meanwhile, Cosmo and Wanda were left at the table alone.
"So what do you think Cosmo?"
"This is really cool!" Cosmo said excitedly. "I've never been to a dance before!"
"What!?" Wanda exclaimed.
"What?" he repeated dumbly.
"You've never been to a dance before?"
"No…" Cosmo rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well come on!" Wanda exclaimed as she stood up. "Let's dance!"
"What?" Cosmo said as his eyes went wide. "But I don't know how!"
"It's easy, I'll show you!" Wanda extended her hand, and Cosmo took it.
The first few songs were rough, but soon enough, Cosmo was dancing like a pro.
"Wow Cosmo! You're a really good dancer!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"I don't think so…" a snotty voice rang out behind her.
Wanda turned around, only to find Scarlett standing behind her.
"Oh, hey." she greeted unenthusiastically.
After that night at the diner, Scarlett had stopped talking to her. Since Wanda wasn't dating Wandissimo anymore, she wasn't considered "popular", so Scarlett bailed.
"You're still delusional?" she mocked.
"Shut up Scar. Leave me alone."
Wanda rolled her eyes and turned back to Cosmo, who now seemed upset.
"What's wrong Cosmo?"
"I'm sorry that you're not popular anymore."
"Cosmo, please don't be sorry."
"But I know it's my fault. Because I'm a loser."
"Cosmo, I'd pick you over them any day!"
"Really?" Cosmo's eyes lit up.
"Really." Wanda smiled as she grabbed his hands. "You're not a loser Cosmo. You're the most incredible person I've ever met."
"Really?" Cosmo asked again.
"Really." Wanda assured him. "You still wanna dance?"
Cosmo's eyes went wide. "But… this is a slow song…"
"So?"
"You wanna… slow dance… with me?" he asked incredulously.
"Of course!" Wanda replied.
"Uh… One sec." Cosmo said as he bolted towards the back door.
Cosmo ran outside and quickly spotted Gem and Andi.
He sprinted over to Gem.
"She wants to slow dance with me!" he yelled excitedly.
"So what the hell are you doing out here?!" Gem chuckled.
"I panicked!"
"Would you just ask her out already!"
"What?!" Cosmo yelled as his eyes flew open.
"Dude, she likes you too. Calm down."
Suddenly, laughter erupted from behind them.
Cosmo and Gem turned around, only to see Wandissimo standing in the doorway.
"Wanda would NEVER like someone like you!" Wan laughed.
Gem turned around and faced him. "Shove off." he growled.
"Oh? You didn't learn your lesson the last time me and my mucho biceps took you out?"
Andi ran over to them, and immediately got between Gem and Wandissimo.
"Hey, everybody chill out!" she said.
"Oh, your little chica is here to bail you out?" Wan laughed. "How about you leave him and spend the night with me?" He offered as he ripped his shirt a few times.
Gem growled and his fists clenched.
Andi took notice and quickly wrapped an arm around him.
"I'll pass." Andi scoffed.
Gem relaxed a bit.
"Fine!" Wandissimo beamed. "Then I'll just spend the rest of the evening with Wanda!"
"Stay away from her!" Cosmo yelled.
"Or what? You'll have your pet handbag take me away again? Why don't you fight me like a real man!"
"You're not a real man Wandissimo. Not the way you treated her." Cosmo stated factually.
Wandissimo laughed. "Yes, I'm sure you could treat her much better. You're funny!"
"I know I could!" Cosmo growled. "She's important to me! I actually care about her! Unlike you!"
"Get away from him Wan!" Wanda yelled as she made her way over to them.
Wandissimo scowled. "As you wish."
And with that he poofed away.
"Cosmo!" Wanda exclaimed. "Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
Cosmo blushed as she lifted his arm and searched him for injuries. "I'm- I'm okay Wanda."
"Hey Wanda," Andi started. "Gem and I are gonna take off. I don't think his head could take another blow like that last one." she chuckled.
"Alright, we'll see you guys later!" Wanda replied.
Cosmo looked over at Gem, who was mouthing the words: "Ask her!" over and over again.
Cosmo nodded and turned back to Wanda.
"Hey, you wanna stay out here for a little while?"
"Sure." Wanda smiled.
They walked over to a patch of grass and sat down.
Cosmo knew it was going to take a while before he worked up the courage to ask her, so he figured they might as well sit outside and admire the stars.
They sat in silence for a while before Wanda spoke up.
"Cosmo?" she asked shyly.
"Yeah?"
"I uh, I heard what you said back there… Am I really that important to you?"
Cosmo blushed and began to rub the back of his neck. "Of course you are! You're the most important person ever!"
Wanda smiled and waved her hand dismissively.
"Nah, I'm just Wanda."
"Just Wanda?!" Cosmo exclaimed.
That was enough for Cosmo.
How could she not see how AMAZING she was?! He had to tell her.
"Wanda, you're the most amazing person I've ever met. I love being with you, and you make me the happiest fairy ever. You're pretty, and smart, and perfect!"
Wanda blushed furiously and felt tears well up in her eyes.
No one had ever thought so much of her as Cosmo did.
She'd never been so happy to be with another person. He was truly the highlight of her life, and every day together was… magical.
She felt him grab her hands and she looked up at him.
"Wanda," he started. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Wanda was ecstatic.
"Yes!" she leapt towards him and practically smothered him in a hug.
Cosmo pulled back. "Really?!"
"Oh, Cosmo! I'd love to be your girlfriend!"
Cosmo couldn't help but laugh. There was too much joy for him to contain.
They embraced again, both of them laughing like fools.
It was safe to say that Cosmo's first dance was a success.
