I do not own Fairy Odd Parents. Tina and Anit are mine.

I can't remember if butterfly nets affect Anti-Fairies or not, but for the sake of this story, we're going to say so.

A Bond That Saves the Day

"We gotta help her!" Timmy cried in panic. He gripped the butterfly net's strings tightly and tried breaking them apart. Anti-Tina had poofed them inside a butterfly net covered in Smoof dust. The Smoof was in place to prevent Tina from summoning them to help her out.

"I know, Sport. But we can't use our magic. And without our magic we're pretty much useless," Wanda sighed and glanced around them. The crazy Anti-Fairy had exited with such force it blew up the hospital and they were now surrounded by metal bits and scorched plaster.

"She's quite the smart one. She even bolted the net to the ground so we couldn't lift it off," Anti-Cosmo said with an impressed tone.

Timmy scowled. "I bet you won't find it so funny when Anti-Tina decides to overthrow you and take over Anti-Fairy World."

"Point taken," Anti-Cosmo muttered.

Blonda twisted her wand in her hands and desperately tried to think of a solution. Her baby was about to get pulverized by the Anti-Fairy brat. But the stupid butterfly net was cutting off her magic, rendering her with no way to help.

You could use the bond.

Blonda winced at the thought. If it was one thing she didn't want to be reminded of, it was the bond she and Norm shared, whether they both wanted it or not.

The bond was established when two fairies got married, and it allowed them to call the other if they were in need of help. Apparently, the bond worked for fairy/genie relationships too, as they both discovered a while ago. Even though they weren't married, they had Tina.

And that was as strong a bond as anyone could possibly have.

Norm will never let me live it down if I call him for help!

Maybe. But do you want to save Tina or not? her reasonable inner-voice chided.

Blonda sighed and closed her eyes. She didn't have much other choice. She focussed her mind and tried contacting the sly genie, even if the effort made her shiver.

'Come on, you jerk! Answer me already! I need your help.'

There was only a few seconds of silence in her mind before Norm's mocking voice answered her.

'Well, well, well. I never thought I'd see the day where the great soap opera star was asking little old me for help. What's the matter, run out of money to pay off the poor suckers that are your servants?'

Blonda gritted her teeth. Of all people to have this bond with… 'Look. You can taunt me later, but right now you got to get your butt over here and help save Tina!'

Instantly a cloud of blue smoke appeared and Norm hovered in front of her, glaring down with burning purple eyes. "What have you idiots done this time?"

"Long story short, Anti-Tina was created and now has a mission to destroy our daughter. If you don't get out there right now and help her she might not make it back!" Blonda snapped.

Norm looked taken aback. "Anti-Tina? How-?"

"I'll explain later! Now get out of here!"

Norm disappeared in a cloud of blue smoke. Blonda sighed wearily and glanced at her sister. "What are you smiling at?"

Wanda smirked. "I think this is the first time I ever heard you refer to Tina as both your daughter and Norm's."

"Oh, shut up."

...

Tina grunted and swung herself upwards. Her foot managed to knock Anit backwards and give her time to crawl out of the pit. Tina wiped the blood of off her face and glowered at her idle cuffs. No magic. How was she supposed to beat this twerp without magic?

"You are certainly athletic," Anit complimented as she pushed herself up. "I underestimated you. Terribly sorry for that."

"No problem. Are you ready to get your butt kicked?"

Anit smiled. "I do believe I'll be the one kicking your butt, considering you don't have magic. But I'm a fair fighter. I shall not use magic either."

What is her game? She could easily take me down with magic now that I'm powerless...and I have no experience in hand-to-hand combat. Wait...I have no experience, and Anit is my Anti. That means she does have fighting and combat experience. Oh shoot shoot shoot shoot!"

Tina let out a shriek as Anit tackled her to the ground and kneed her in the stomach. Tina doubled over and groaned. Anit reared her foot back and got ready to kick her in the face. The blonde winced and tensed for impact.

"Hey, Anti-Jerk! Get your hands off of my daughter!"

Anit yelped as she was slammed high into the air by a powerful blast of magic. Tina opened her eyes and glanced up in surprise. Norm stared down at her with concern.

"You alright?"

Tina managed a smile. "Perfectly."

"I can see where you get your power from," Anit commented as she floated back to the blue clouds. "And my name is Anit. Not Anti-Jerk."

"Anit? Sounds like a bug," Norm snorted.

"That's what I said!" Tina exclaimed.

Anit frowned. "Your sense of humour is most immature."

"What other type of humour is there?" Norm questioned before snapping his fingers. Anit scowled angrily when a butterfly net appeared over her.

"Foiled by a repetition of my own plan! How the cards have switched hands," Anit moaned.

Tina frowned thoughtfully at the butterfly net and leaned towards her father. "I thought Anti-Fairies weren't affected by butterfly nets because they are the opposites of us?" she whispered.

Norm smirked. "Yeah, but she doesn't know that. She was just born. She doesn't know all the rules yet."

"Huh. I thought she was supposed to be smart," she mused.

Norm arched an eyebrow. "Are you implying that you are dumb?"

"Well duh. I flunked out of two schools," Tina scoffed.

"That just means you haven't found your groove yet." Norm waved his hand dismissively. "Now we better leave this twerp to Jorgen. Or Anti-Cosmo. Speaking of which, we have to get your mother and the others out of that Smoof-covered net."

Norm poofed them to the trapped fairies (and human) and studied the net. "I think we can just leave them here," he suggested.

"Norm!" Blonda snapped.

Tina stared at the bolts that fastened the net to the ground. The chances that they were covered in Smoof dust were pretty great. And that meant her father wouldn't be able to poof them off. "Can I have a screwdriver?"

Norm arched an eyebrow but complied. Tina gripped the red plastic handle and carefully unscrewed the bolts. Soon there was a pile of the metal screws by her feet. She lifted the butterfly net off of her mother, aunt and uncle, best friend, Anti-Fairies and Jorgen.

Timmy grinned his thanks and studied Tina with concern. "Are you okay?"

Her face was covered in bruises and cuts, and a small trickle of blood that dried on her chin. But there was an easy smile on her face. "I'm cool."

Wanda frowned. "No, you are not. You're coming to the Fairy World Hospital."

Tina groaned. "But Aunt Wanda!"

Wanda ignored her niece and twirled her wand. She, Cosmo, Timmy and Tina poofed away. Blonda raised her wand. "I think I'll-"

Norm plucked the wand from her hand and kept a tight hold on her wings with the other. Blonda sighed and slumped in irritation. Anti-Blonda and Anti-Cosmo were already gone, and Jorgen had left soon after, no doubt to analyze Anti-Tina.

"I'm pretty sure you owe me an explanation."

Blonda rolled her pink eyes. "Tina's Anti-Fairy came into existence so late because she didn't fully combine her fairy and genie powers until late last year. That's why Anti-Tina-"

"Anit."

Blonda blinked. "Okay. Whatever. That's why Anit was born as a ten-year-old. And now my counterpart has a daughter and Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda now have a niece…who may or may not try to dethrone them as rulers of Anti-Fairy World."

"So Anit is a full Anti-Fairy?"

"Since there are no Anti-Genies out there, yes, we can only assume so. But surprisingly she doesn't need a wand to use her powers. I suppose it's because Tina learned to control her fairy powers without even bothering to use a wand."

"Alright," said Norm, getting a handle on what happened. "You got any idea why Anit is so polite?"

"I'm guessing because Tina doesn't really regard the rules and have proper manners," said Blonda dryly. "So that would make her counterpart polite and evil."

"That explains why Anit didn't destroy Tina while she was powerless. She wanted to fight fair." Norm whistled. "That's one twisted evil Anti."

"Says the wish-twisting genie," Blonda scoffed.

Norm rolled his purple eyes. "That's my job, babe."

"Don't call me that!" she snapped. "Anyway, how did you beat Anit anyway?"

"We used a butterfly net."

Blonda frowned. "But butterfly nets don't work on Anti-Fairies. They're the opposite of us."

"I'm guessing because Tina knew that, Anit didn't. Or something along those lines. But I'm pretty sure Anti-Cosmo will tell her."

Blonda nervously twisted her hands. "You saw how easily she poofed a net over us. She could do the same thing to Tina, if she isn't feeling like fighting fair. It'll be game over!"

"You underestimate our daughter."

Blonda arched an eyebrow. "Our daughter?"

Norm smirked. "You sound shocked."

Blonda tugged out of Norm's grip and crossed her arms. She regarded Norm with slight amusement. "It's pretty interesting that you call her our daughter now. Because I have a question to ask you."
