CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

PINK HATS AND TOMBOYS

Timmy looked at Trixie who looked very nervous. His girlfriend then, said,

"Uh, Timmy, I'm in here by mistake...,uh...,"
Timmy, almost smiled. He'd heard THAT one before. He decided to play it cool. He went over to Trixe and helped her up.

"Sorry, Trixie," said Timmy, "I didn't recognize you with that cap. Why are you wearing it?"

That was when Mr. and Mrs. Tang came. Trixie's mother spoke first,

"Well, Timothy. This IS a surprise."

"Yes ma'am'," said Timmy, "my friends and I just wanted to check out this comic book store."
"So did, Trixie," said Mr. Tang, "she's been talking about this all morning."

Trixie looked very embarrassed. Timmy decided to make it a little easier on her and said,

"Mr. and Mrs. Tang, could I speak to Trixie alone for a few minutes."

"Sure," said Jeff Tang, "Rebecca, why don't we go over that section over there."
Rebecca Tang looked a little uncertain, but Jeff gave a reassuring look, and she nodded and said,

"Okay, honey. Have a nice talk."

"Thank you ma'am," said Timmy.

Timmy turned to Trixie and said,

"Why don't we go outside and talk about this."

The elderly Asian man, Nguyen Tang was disgusted by his utter failure to break apart his granddaughter from Timmy Turner. He was especially furious that Bickles had an attack of conscious. That's when he made a decision.

"I'll just have to arrange a little "accident" to happen to that Turner boy. And for good measure Bickles as well. "

Old Man Tang was about to reach for the phone when he heard a voice with an english accent,

"You will do no such thing you old fool. I've worked too hard on my plan involving Turner to let some mere human interfere."

The Nguyen looked at the source of the voice. It was a blue skinned creature with what looked like bat wings and fangs."

"Is THAT Trixie Tang," said Chester to A.J., "IN a comic book store."

"Yeah," said A.J., who then looked at the other side of the store and said,

"And I think those are here parents."

"Whoa," said Mark, "like I didn't even see that coming."

Trixie and Timmy were outside. The Asian-American girl looked very nervous and said,

"Look Timmy, I'm sorry."

"Why would you be sorry?," said Timmy, "you like comic books. So what?"

"Well," said Trixie, "I like boy things. Don't you think that's weird."

Trixie expected a lot of things. Perhaps a break up; perhaps a word of comfort. She didn't expect Timmy's reaction. He laughed. In fact, he laughed SO hard that he was rolling on the sidewalk.

The old man looked stunned at the creature. He then reached for the drawer that had his pistol in it. A mistake. The minute he did that Anti-Cosmo aimed his wand at the desk. Energy came out of it and the entire desk exploded. Old Man Tang darted out of the way in time, pretty impressive for a man in his seventies. Trixie's grandfather said,

"Who are you? That desk was imported mahogeny. It's worth a fortune."

"I'm not interested in your pile of wood. I don't think you should either," said Anti-Cosmo, "that could have been you; not the desk."

The Asian man looked very nervous; no frightened. He asked,

"What are you? What do you want?"

"Now," said Anti-Cosmo, "there's a question you should be asking. I'll tell you what I want. I want you to stay away from Timmy Turner; I've got my own plans for him. Plans that do not involve his death."

The old man looked at the Anti-Fairy and frowned up,

"Why?"

"That's really none of your business. Just know that you will stop harrassing Timothy or face the consequences."

"And what consequences would that be," asked the old man.

The blue skinned creature smiled and then waved his wand. There was a burst of energy. Anti-Cosmo grinned and said,

"Check your stock on the computer, Tang, and you will see what I mean."

Trixie looked bewildered at her laughing boyfriend. Then she looked annoyed.

"TIMOTHY TIBERIOUS TURNER," said Trixe, "what IS so funny?"

Timmy, finally, gained controlled over his laughter. Well somewhat. He was still giggling. Now Trixie looked mad.

"Timmy," said the Asian-American girl, "will you stop giggling and tell me what's so funny."

"What you said," said Timmy, "that I'd think you were weird."

"Why would THAT be funny," said Trixie confused and still simmering a bit.

"You're a tomboy. So what?," said Timmy.

"You mean, you don't have a problem with that," said Trixie.

"Trixie," said Timmy , "LOOK at me. I wear a pink hat, and a pink shirt. I am in constant contact with magical creatures. One of my best friends is a genius; no a child prodigy, and the other eats garbage and dirt. Not to mention the fact that one of my back up friends has a huge boil on his face that's ALIVE. And I know a squid from another planet. My life is filled with weirdness. Having a tomboy as a girlfriend is hardly strange."

Trixie, then, breathed a sigh of relief, and said,

"Then everything's okay."

"Sure," said Timmy, "in fact, it's time to be completely honest with you." He paused. "I hope you're not too mad at me, but I've known you liked boy things for a very long time."

"You did?," said Trixie, "how?"

"You remember Timantha?," said Timmy.

"Yes," said Trixie, "do you know her?"

"Trixie, I WAS Timantha. Wanda turned me into a girl for a day so I could "think" like a girl for your birthday party."

Old Man Tang looked at his computer. His stocks were dropping. He was, in fact, losing millions of dollars. He looked horrified and said,
"What did you do?"

"You don't need to know. The only thing you need to know is that I can do it," said the Anti-Fairy, "now, you will leave Timmy Turner alone."

"I don't take orders from vampires," said Ngyen, "or whatever you are."

Anti-Cosmo frowned up and said,

"You have spunk for a human, but my condition still stands. You stand down. Besides, my plan for Turner will get him out of your hair for good. Soon enough, he and Trixie will be separated."

Tang seemed to consider this. Then he said,

"So, I'll get what I want if I stay out of your way."

"Very perceptive, old man," said Anti-Cosmo, "now I'll restore your stock it's proper value."

The Anti-Fairy then waved his wand. The stock went back to normal, and the desk reappeared.

"Okay," said Old Man Tang, "you've got yourself a deal."

"There IS no deal," said Anti-Cosmo, "You just stay out of my way, and it'll work out for you."

And with that, Anti-Cosmo poofed out of there.

Trixie looked surprised and she didn't say anything. In fact, she was silent so long, Timmy started to get worried.

"Trixie," said Timmy, "please say something." He paused worried. "You're mad at me. You're going to break up with me, or do something worse."

"Yes, Timmy Turner," said Trixie, "I AM going to do something."

And with that Trixie Tang put her hand under Timmy's chin and gently pushed it up, and then gave him the longest, wettest kiss they'd had since the Darkness incident.
