Let's get things rolling with this next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!
The room had stayed silent for the most part as Trixie was having an intense staredown with her mother, as Timmy and Mr. Tang were watching nearby, both of the male's eyes looking at each other before looking towards the growling girls.
Cosmo and Wanda, meanwhile, had posted themselves as framed pictures on a wall, tiny enough so that they wouldn't be noticeable, but could still be seen.
"Beatrice II..." Beatrice Tang narrowed her eyes as she examined the new clothes that her daughter had on. "I had thought you might have, oh, I don't know, GOT OVER THAT DAMN PHASE!"
"A phase, Mom? A phase? I will have you know that this world isn't as black and white as you've been perceiving it!" Trixie frowned as she crossed her arms. "The only reason I played the part of the popular girl was so that I can please you, work the trends, do shopping, and I only went along with the parties to please you when in reality, I was freaking bored by them! You never let me have any fun on my own, because, as you say, the things I want to take interest in aren't 'popular'. Well, maybe they weren't popular in your view... but you're blind to the world around you!"
"I'm blind? I AM BLIND?!" Beatrice bared her teeth. "You are my daughter, Beatrice Tang II, and your STATUS IS RIDING ON WHAT WE ARE AS A FAMILY!"
"As a family? Don't make me laugh! When you took the Tang name, you completely changed the family outcome because of everything that happened!" Trixie growled. "You always act like you're the head of the family, when Daddy's the one who does all the bills and the finances! All you do is sit around with your friends all day, telling each other how 'pretty' you all were! And for a while, I was that way as well, and I admit, it wasn't fun... I wanted to like this sort of thing, I really DID! But what good is being popular when you have close to no friends, force yourself to act grown-up when you don't want to be, AND you made me put up with two boys that I never even liked in the first place!"
"You didn't like Tad and Chad! These two were supposed to be your choices for boyfriends!" Beatrice growled right back.
"Boyfriends, huh? Well, here's a fun fact I'm sure you'd be interested in... these two fondled me in private when you never knew about it!" Trixie growled.
Beatrice's eyes widened as her mouth dropped, as did Mr. Tang's mouth upon hearing this. Trixie narrowed her eyes as she said, "I don't believe I need to repeat that statement, since you clearly just heard me, but Tad and Chad are not the polite boys that they make themselves out to be! Oh sure, in public, they'll act like the popular kids that are perfect to hang with, but whenever I'm alone with these two, they act like perverts around me! And I don't care if I'm losing my popularity because of it, but I hated it! Which is why I prefer my NEW boyfriend over there! Because at least he cares for me and respects the person I am!"
"Boyfriend?" Beatrice gave a wide-eyed expression once again before her eyes settled on a waving Timmy. "You set your eyes on this buck-toothed weirdo in the pink hat? His family isn't even rich!"
"Rich, they may not be. Dumb, probably. But Timmy Turner has a big heart, and you can't even deny that! You do nothing but show disdain for the people that are lower than us... and if you'd just take the time to open up to the others, you would see that these people aren't so different from us! You're just a heartless witch who only sees her daughter as a tool and puppet to mold to look after. Well this puppet is cutting her strings!" Trixie curled her hand to a fist as Beatrice gave a frown. "I am not going to be popular, and you cannot change who I a-"
SLAP!
Cosmo and Wanda winced as they witnessed what could have been a sign of anger coming from Trixie's mom. Timmy's eyes widened, before narrowing as Mr. Tang covered his mouth in shock.
Beatrice Tang stood there, an angry scowl marked on her face as Trixie rubbed her cheek, a red hand print now apparent on it. Beatrice growled as she looked down at her daughter. "I raised you to be who you were... and this is how you treat me, even after all these years? Rest assured, I will be looking into this Tad and Chad scenario, but the rest is inexuseable! I can easily disown you right here and then! But I can easily forgive you for that little episode, all of that, if you just kick out that boy and ditch him!"
Timmy frowned as he glared at Beatrice Tang as Trixie crossed her arms. "Never."
Beatrice shut her eyes as she said, "Then I have no more business with you! Go to your room and we'll discuss this all later!"
Trixie responded to Beatrice's statement by kicking her in the shins, causing the woman to groan, holding them. Trixie crossed her arms as she said, "Screw you, Mom! I'm walking out! Come along Timmy."
"Just a minute... I want to say my piece..." Timmy said as he took a look at Trixie's mother.
Trixie gave a nod before going out as Mr. Tang looked concerned. "I'll... er... talk with Trixie."
"Hey! Come back here, I'm not going to b-" Beatrice shouted, but Jonathan Tang had already followed his daughter out the door as she found herself alone with the boy that had taken her daughter's heart. She narrowed her eyes towards the boy as she said, "I hope you're happy! You ruined what I consider to be a good thing!"
Timmy could only glare as he said, "I didn't do anything to her. What your daughter did... she did that mainly on her own. And she did what she thought was right because you wouldn't let her be her!"
Beatrice scoffed as she turned around and started to walk off... but not before Timmy said, "In fact, I thought being popular was a cool thing and I always wanted to get in on it... maybe because of Trixie, but today, I saw her as a different kind of person, and I didn't care who she was. But I bet you don't even get that, do you? You're completely heartless if you think Trixie should act just like you are..."
With that said and done, Timmy turned around and walked out, with Beatrice still standing by the door. She stood there as she started to slump down, as she pulled out a hand mirror. She stared at herself for a little while, looking a little teary-eyed as she whispered to herself, "Have I... really been like this?"
"Trixie, wait, hang on!" Mr. Tang said in worry as Trixie had just stepped outside and waited. "I know that things are a little bad right now between you and your mom, but I'm sure once she calms down, she'll..."
"That's just it... after all those words that I meant, she's probably already thinking about disowning me at that point..." Trixie sighed, looking over at her father. "Daddy, you were such a good parental figure and you try, oh goodness, you try. But Mom... you and I both know she never saw me as a daughter, but rather as a mini-her."
"Well..." Mr. Tang sighed as he sat down next to his daughter. "I guess this had to happen eventually, but... Trixie, your mom wasn't ALWAYS what she said she was..."
"You say that, but every time I see her, she's always the same! "Beatrice II, be popular, Beatrice II, reject things uncool, Beatrice II, go with these boys, they may be your husbands one day!". It's just sickening to hear that over and over, you know..." Trixie looked down. "Both of you got married by a contract that put you together, and I know you don't love her as much as you do..."
"And it's not really easy, but you'd be surprised by your mom." Jonathan said as Trixie scoffed. "I do mean it. She's..."
All of a sudden, Jonathan started to sniff something in the air as he looked around. "Uh... does something feel right in the air?"
Trixie paused as she sniffed it too... before spotting something in the corner of her eye... it was a green grenade that leaked out some gas. She gasped when she noticed her father falling to the ground unconscious.
"Sleeping-" Trixie started to say before groaning a little as she fell down. "...g...a...s..."
The girl fell to the floor unconscious as her eyes closed up. Out of the bushes, Tad and Chad came out as both boys gave a sadistic grin.
"All right, our target is on the floor!" Tad gave a nod.
"I didn't want to have to do this to her, but..." Chad smirked. "We're left with no other alternative..."
"Right! Come on, let's get her and get going!" Tad said as Chad held up the bag and Tad picked up the girl and put her in...
And that's the end of this chapter! How did you guys like it? Next time, Timmy finds out something has happened and he, along with Cosmo and Wanda, set out to rescue Trixie Tang... but with Trixie still not knowing she had drank truth serum and under Tad and Chad's mercy, will she reveal MORE than she lets on? Anyway, read, review, criticize and suggest, folks!
