Poof drove dangerously fast (he still didn't understand speed limits) over to the Olive Garden. He saw Marie getting out of her car, and
parked in the empty space next to hers, crashing into the lamppost. He smiled to greet Marie, and Marie stared surprised.

"What's wrong?" He asked. He turned his head to look behind himself at the broken lamppost. "Oh yeah, that happens, often. Um, let's go inside!"

When they were walking, Poof suddenly put his hand directly in front of where she was about to step.

"Paul, what are you doing?"

"Step on a crack, brake your momma's back." He told her wisely. Living with anti-fairies for years he knew all the things a human could do to cause bad luck.

"What? Oh yeah, the bad luck thing." She rolled her eyes. "Do you expect me to avoid every single crack in this entire parking lot?"

"Depends. How much do you like your mom?"

Marie groaned and moved Poof's hand to the side. She noticed Paul watching every step she took, so carefully with wide eyes. Just as Marie and Poof stepped inside, Marie turned to Poof. "See?" She said, annoyed. "Nothing happened."

The waiter walked by. "Table for two?"

"Yes." Poof said happily.

"Right this way." The waiter leaded them to a table right behind a family with two brown-haired kids and their weird looking fish. Poof noticed that these fish were fairies, but he didn't care. They were most-likely no one he would know.

"Isn't this great?" The dad said to his kids. "You were right Tommy, we should eat out more often!"

"Don't you like my cooking?" The mom asked.

"Of course honey, but I just like eating out too. You should've tasted my mom's cooking, it was horrible!" The father laughed remembering his mother's dishes.

"Did you hear that?" Poof whispered to Marie. He laughed then said "That moron over there just said his kids should taste his mother's horrible cooking! As if he wanted them to taste it!"

"He probably didn't mean it litterally." Marie replied. "Why are you focusing on them anyway?"

Why? Because he was really nervous. "I, um, okey, what do you want to talk about?"

"Uh, I don't know." She admitted.

Well this isn't going very well. Poof thought. "Um, okey, do you have any siblings?"

"No, do you?"

"I have Tim- I mean, no, not really." Poof rolled his eyes. He wanted to tell her about Timmy, but how could he explain having a human godbrother? Especially since there were fairies behind him. "There was one kid, my neighbor or something, who I'd grown to think of as my older brother. His name was Timmy."

"Oh, um, what was he like?"

"Great! He would babysit me and he would pretty much brake every rule my parents set!" Poof laughed. " 'No violent television, no opening the window, no poofing yourself into a huge construction site that happened to be a giant deathball sent to destroy Earth,..."

"Wait, what?"

"What?" Poof realized what he just said. "Um, what are you confused about?"

"What was that last thing you said?"

"The last thing I said? Opening the window."

"But-um, never mind I guess."

The waiter came back and they ordered their drinks. Since neither one of them had much to say, they said nothing.

"I recognized that fairy somehow..." Wanda as a fish said to Tommy and Tammy. "I don't remember ever seeing him, and yet, there's something familiar about him."

"Maybe it's Phillip!" Cosmo as a fish guessed.

"I thought Phillip was a nickel." Tammy said.

"Oh yeah." Cosmo said.

"The guy had a purple curl on his head!" Tommy said. "Maybe he's your father?"

"Big Daddy doesn't have a curl!" Cosmo said. "Wanda got that from her mom!"

Wanda glared at Cosmo. "Cosmo! That wasn't my mom!"

"You have a mom?" Tammy asked. "How come we've never met her?"

"Because Wanda doesn't like to talk about her!" Cosmo said stupidly. "She's-" Wanda slapped her fin on Cosmo's mouth. "Shut up you moron!" She yelled at him. Noticing Tommy and Tammy's confused expressions, Wanda removed her fin and said nervously "Never mind, never mind, um... hey look! Our drinks are here!"

Their waiter looked down, annoyed. "I'm sorry twerps." She said. "Actually, no I'm not. I just need to say that this restaurant doesn't allow pets!" She took the fish bowl.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Tammy and Tommy yelled. Poof and Marie turned around to see the red-haired waitress taking the fish. Poof stood up and walked over to the scene.

"Don't you dare harm those fish you-" Poof looked at her name tag. "Vicky. I thought you looked familiar."

"Do I know you?" Vicky asked.

"No, but trust me, you don't wanna." Poof showed her a fist, which was meant to be threatening. But instead Vicky just laughed. "So that's your threat? Two little twerps and a weirdo that thinks he can pound ME? Hahahhahahahahahahaha- hey!" While Vicky was laughing, Poof has swiped the fish bowl right out of her hands.

"I wish the rule was changed, and that the mean lady was fired!" Tommy whispered. Cosmo and Wanda waved their wands, and Vicky disappeared.

"Thanks stranger!" Tammy said. "You have no idea how much Wanda and Cosmo mean to us!"

"Trust me kid, I know more than you'd think." Poof smiled and walked over to the table, but then frowned.

"That was amazing!" Marie said. "Wow, that must have been the kindest thing I've ever seen someone do!" She noticed Paul was looking nervous. "Paul, what's wrong?"

"Did those kids say Cosmo and Wanda?" He asked.

"Um, yes?" She said. "Why?"

Poof started to sweat. How was he going to talk Marie into leaving? "I, um, I'll explain later!" Before Marie could ask questions, Poof pushed them out the door before their drinks got to the table.

"Paul? Where are we going?" Marie asked as she was shoved into Poof's car.

"I said I'll explain later!" Poof said annoyed. "All I can say is, we can't eat at the place right there! We'll have to eat somewhere else, some other time! Where do you live?"

"My car's still at the restaurant!"

"Oh right!" Poof turned around and ran into a tree by the Olive Garden parking lot. Oh great! Poof thought. This is it. It's over. Marie's going to hate me. This was our first and only date, and for the rest of her life she's going to think I'm crazy.

But surprisingly, instead of asking what was going on, demanding Paul explain everything at once, or even just yell at him, Marie laughed. She LAUGHED!

"Um, did I do something funny?"

Marie kept laughing. Then she finally calmed down and said "This whole night was very strange, but THAT was just- I mean, I don't know if it's just because I'm tired or because anybody else would've found that strangely hilarious, but it was, it was-" She continued laughing. "That situation would normally happen on a cartoon or something!"

Suddenly, Poof smiled. An idea struck him. "Do you, um, like cartoons?"

"Not often. Why?" She asked.

"Um, well, never mind! I'll um, I'll see you again tomorrow!"

"Okey, bye!" Marie walked away laughing. Poof popped his head out of the window of his car and smiled. He had a brilliant idea on how to get her to learn everything there is to know about Poof Fairy-Winkle Cosma.

What is Poof's idea? Will it work? Should I have updated sooner? Yeah, I probably should have, but I've been really busy (hey! I have a life people! School, babysitting my little brother, some days the only thing I have time for on is to check for new reviews.) By the way, reviews are nice and I love getting them, so there's no reason to hold in your words! I want to know what you think! I'll update soon! -Dagnytheartist (:
