Of Pink Hair and Spanish Flair

I don't own Fairly Odd Parents. Butch Hartman does.

I do, however, own Katie and Billy Katsworth.

WARNING!: This series is about CupidxJuandissimo. Don't like, don't read.

Relationship: Lovers.

Word: Lamp.

…

It was midnight and Katie Katsworth was wide awake. She was clutching her blanket tightly, staring up at the ceiling. She was shaking violently, whimpering every few seconds. The room was in complete darkness, the lamp on the bedside table having been turned off a few hours ago. Katie looked at the dog bed next to the table.

Cupid and Juandissimo were fast asleep, curled up together in balls of pink and purple fur. Katie's eyes went to her closet door. It was simple, brown door; but it held so much reason for Katie's fear. She shifted on her bed, so that she was further away from the door. Then she paused and looked over the side of her bed. Even though nothing happened, she still pulled herself away from the edge and began shaking again. No way could she sleep like this. Shifting so that she was now kneeling, she reached over and turned on the lamp. Light flashed into the room, banishing the darkness to the coldest, dampest corners of the room. Katie grabbed her blanket and held it to herself. Looking over at the bed again, she whispered, "Mister Cupid."

Cupid didn't move.

"Mister Cupid…!"

Cupid shifted slightly.

"Mister Cupid, please…!"

After a few seconds of silence, Cupid's eyes fluttered open. He raised his head and stared at her. "Hm…What? What do you want?"

"Mister Cupid…I'm scared…" Katie muttered. At this, Cupid raised an eyebrow. He dug into his fur and pulled out his wand. The star glowed and he poofed back into his normal form. "…C-Could you look under my bed for monsters?"

Cupid paused and stared, floating above the dog bed where his lover was still fast asleep. Juandissimo had had some sort of fairy godparent exam today, or something like that, so he was pretty tired. Cupid didn't particularly understand all of that nonsense. "Aren't you a little old for that kind of stuff?" He asked, crossing his arms.

Katie simply stared back, clutching the blanket tighter to herself. Cupid sighed and rolled his eyes then floated over to the bed and ducked down onto the floor, lifting the blanket up and peeking underneath the bed. "Look, Katie. All that's under here is a couple of comic books, a pencil and a doll."

"Action figure."

"Whatever." Cupid pushed the blanket away and floated above her. "Happy?"

Katie looked over at the closet. "C…Could you check the closet too…?"

Cupid sighed through his nose. The things he did for this kid…The God floated over to the closet and took hold of the doorknob, then pulled the door open. Katie shrunk back. A soccer ball rolled out. Cupid looked down at it, then peeked into the closet. Clothes hung on the rack that was built in there and several boxes (no doubt full of comic books and old memories) were on the top shelf.

Cupid gestured to it. "See? Nothing there." He pushed the soccer ball back into the closet, then shut the door. Turning to her, he crossed his arms. "What's gotten into you? You've never been scared of the dark before."

Katie looked at her blanket in embarrassment. "…B-Billy told me some scary stories earlier…about monsters in the dark…They were really scary, Mister Cupid."

Cupid frowned. Billy - her teenaged brother - told a seven-year-old girl about monsters in the darkness? That rotten git. "Since when do you ever listen to your brother?"

"…Never…"

"Exactly. So why should you listen now?"

Katie didn't respond. Cupid shrugged. "Besides, Juandissimo and I are here. I'm a God and he's a fairy and both of us have magical powers. Do you really think we'd let something happen? Well, do you?"

Katie slowly smiled. "No…"

"Exactly. But, if it makes you feel better…" He trailed off, floating back over to Juandissimo. He nudged him. "Hey, Juan."

Juandissimo didn't move.

"Juan."

Still no movement. Cupid rolled his eyes and said, out loud, "Oh, hi, Wanda!"

Suddenly, Juandissimo was awake, eyes wide. Instead of seeing his ex-girlfriend, he saw Cupid, who looked pretty irritated. "I was hoping that wouldn't work."

Juandissimo grinned nervously. He looked at his goddaughter. "What's going on?"

"She scared because of some stories Billy told her." Cupid said.

Juandissimo glanced at him, then looked back at his goddaughter. "Oh, mi Niña." He bounded over to the bed, then jumped up and laid beside her. She hugged him tightly, burying her face into his purple fur. "Don't worry, mi Niña. Cupido and I are here."

Katie smiled. "Thanks, guys."

Cupid poofed back into his puppy form, then scrambled onto the bed. He laid down with them, smiling at her.

Katie yawned and pulled the cover back over herself. "So," Cupid said. "Ready to turn out that lamp?"

Katie looked at it, her brow furrowed, as the words of the stories got to her again. Monsters…Blood…Eaten…Katie gulped and looked back at Cupid and Juandissimo. They were there - there to protect her. Why should she be scared when she had her godparents there with her? Smiling, Katie reached over and turned out the light. For a few seconds, she waited for something to happen, but nothing did. Satisfied, she laid there, head on her pillow, godparents in each arm, and fell into a sweet sleep. Finally, the little girl got some sleep. They would deal with Billy tomorrow.

"…By the way, Juan, we're having a little talk about the whole 'wake-up-cause-Wanda's-here' thing later."

A sigh was heard. "Of course, amor."

Author's note:

Last Friday was officially the best day of my life. I got to go to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour The Making of Harry Potter with my school as a little school trip. I saw the actual props and sets used in the movies. At the entrance of the place are three, large bricks of clay with the handprints of Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). I have bigger hands then Emma, same sized hands as Rupert and smaller hands then Daniel. *Squeal*

Oh, yes. I'm a Potter fan. Right now, I am - again - dressed in my new Harry Potter glasses and Gryffindor cloak. My new Sirius Black wand is in its fancy lil' box. Heh. Yeah…we visited the gift shop on the way out. Everything is expensive (the cloak cost £75, the wand £25 and the glasses were a fiver), but bloody worth it. I was the only one who bought a cloak too…Yeah. The jelly beans are nice, though.

I also made one of my past teachers, my classmates and myself pretty proud. See, I have Ipovlopsychophobia (fear of having one's photo taken). I have suffered panic attacks before due to it (nothing serious). Feel free to laugh. Despite that, I was brave enough to appear in about three photos and I only suffered a very minor panic attack. Yay! I have not, however, gotten over this fear. I still have it and I will still keep well away from cameras, but it's a start. Would anyone like to know what it's like having a panic attack?

QUESTION TIME!: It's ok if you don't want to say, but what phobias do you guys have? I won't laugh, I promise.

*Clears throat* So, anyway. For today's update, we have a cute lil' family thing. It's short and I don't entirely like it but - Oh, look, Cupid. You're developing fatherly feelings. Good for you, you little weirdo.
