CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

"Light the Darkness, Timmy," said Paul Stanley of KISS, "You're the Chosen One; this is what you were Chosen for."

Timmy looked down at the white wand guitar and then up at KISS and said with exasperation,

"But I don't know how to play guitar."

"Timmy," said Gene Simmons, "Don't PLAY it; FEEL it."

Timmy looked up at his floating godparents, and then at KISS. Gene did his "tongue stunt" and his fairy powers allowed him to transform it into a type of "thumbs up."

Timmy hand began to glow as he strummed the guitar. The pink capped boy's lip began to tremble and he said in his nasally voice,

"I...I.. feel IT!"

The music began coming from the guitar and a pure white beam of light emerged from the guitar and hit the Darkness in it's opening. A storm of energy appeared.

"KEEP ROCKING, CHOSEN ONE," said Cosmo and Wanda.

Another beam of pure white light hit the Darkness in it's heart. Timmy did "feel" the guitar's energy. So did the Darkness, but the Darkness, also, felt something else. Something different.

The Darkness had the ability to read the heart of the ones who came into contact with it. Usually, it felt hate and anger, and pain, as it was fired into. However, Timmy Turner's heart was something very different. The young boy's kindness, his memories, indeed his life flashed into the Darkness' consciousness. He saw the brown hair boy's faults; but it also saw his virtues. And as Timmy's love and compassion flooded in through into the Darkness, it caused it's entire form to glow a bright white light. This child; this little boy was not firing into him out of hatred, but out of concern for his family, his friends. His godfamily. His friends.

Scattered memories came into the Darkness of what Timmy had done for the various people in his life;

"I WISH COSMO AND WANDA WOULD HAVE A BABY!"

Another memory involving his friend, Chester,

"I wish my friend was the best baseball player EVER!"

Another memory;

"I'd rather had friends who like me for who I am; not what I have."

This boy had given up popularity AND the girl of his dreams so he wouldn't lose his friends.

He saw Timmy trapped in a video game with his two best friends Chester and A.J. Only Timmy knew how much danger all three of them were truly in. His buddies just thought it was another virtual reality game. When the Vicky-Bot came to crush them with her "steamroller" type butt, Timmy Turner pushed A.J. and Chester out of the way. He got "crushed" and that was his last life. A.J., although thinking it was just virtual, still thought it was pretty cool. Fortunately his sacrifice gained Timmy enough points to gain another life.

"Great Scott," said A.J, as all of his friends sat with him at the DimmaDance Film Festival, "thats US."

"You used the cruddy version, we did," said Chester very excitedly.

"Well," said Timmy, "I could have done an amazing film with awesome color and special effects, but I decided to do a cruddy version with my pals."

Pals. Friends. Timmy Turner would do anything to help his friends. Friends had been something the Darkness had been searching; searching for centuries. And it was a small child. As the now pure white vortex that was the Darkness began to reatreat and pull up it's Eliminators, the thoughts of friendship, true friendship. A friendship that Timmy could offer the Darkness. One thought continued to race through the Darkness's mind.

"Must...,have......,Timmy Turner...."


"Who are you going to call?," asked Chester.

"A friend," said Timmy optimistically.


"We've got to stop that crazy robot," said Isaac. He paused and frowned. Chester's Fairy GodFather then said, "And I've got to relieve myself."

"Well, please don't here," said Wanda, "there's plenty of room further in the cave."

Isaac complied.

A.J. looked very concerned and deep in thought.

"You know," said the African American boy, "even if I do make an electrical charge to increase the magic, it still may not be enough to stop the Destructinator; he's filled with magic, and he's getting more powerful by the hour."

"Well," said Cosmo, "what are you going to do?"

"I don't know," said A.J. "I..." Suddenly A.J. stopped and smiled.

"What is it?, A.J.," asked Trixie.

"I know EXACTLY who to call," said the genius of Dimmsdale as he pulled what looked like a pager out and pressed the button. The pager made it's ringing noise and suddenly Norm the Genie was floating there.


Jorgen, Dwight, Irving, and Molly were all headed to where they thought the Destructinator might be. The Fairy Council was no longer with them. Jorgen had decided that it would be better to keep the governing body of Fairy World safe if they couldn't stop that nutty robot, and the council agreed.

The group saw the Destructinator at some distance, and worse he had the Fairy Power Wand in his hand.

"Swizzle," said Molly, "how much power do you still have left in your wand?"

"Not much," said Swizzle, "and certainly not enough to stop that can head."

"How about if we combine the power from Jorgen's, Irving's and Swizzle's wands," suggested Dwight, "it might not be enough to stop the Destructinator, but it could be enough to at least slow him down."

Irving looked at pride with at godson and said,

"Great thinking, Dwight."

"I agree," said Jorgen, "let's do this"


"You ready Chester," said Timmy.

"I guess so," said the blond, and then he added, "I hope this works."

"So do I," said the pink hatted boy.

A beam of energy came out of the chest armors each of the boy's were wearing and hit the wind wand. The star on the top of the wand spun around and shot another beam of energy into space.


Norm was wearing a baseball cap and had a pennant in his hand. It was clear he had been at baseball game. In somewhat mock indignity he said,

"This better be good Baldy; it's the bottom of the ninth."

"Who's that?," said Trixie.

"It's Norm the Genie," said Wanda. She shook her head and then added, "He's a jerk, but he might can help us."

"Hello," said Norm, "I'm right here."

Before anyone could answer Isaac appeared. He saw Norm and looked enraged. Chester's Fairy GodFather poofed up a smoof blanket, and threw at Norm before the genie could respond. It covered the genie and then Isaac poofed up a club, went over to Norm and began to beat the tar out of him.


"Okay," said Molly, "let's put this in wish form; I guess Dwight and I wish that the Destructinator was in an impenetrable cell.

The three fairies combined both of their wands and shot the magic energy at the large robot. A cage appeared around the Destructinator. The robot looked around, and saw Molly, Dwight, their godparents, and Jorgen. He pounded against the bars.

"It's working," said Dwight.

Then the Destructinator's eyes started glowing and he shot the bars with a magic beam. They immediatedly crumbled.

"I guess it didn't," said Molly.

"No," boomed the Destructinator's voice, "nothing works against me." He pointed his finger at Molly and said,

"I wish you looked like Goldilocks with a frilly dress and bows in your hair."

The goth girl transformed into a blond headed very feminine girl. Upon seeing the frilly, girly dress, Molly screamed!


Chester and Timmy looked up into the night sky. It had been about five minutes since the boys had sent that beam of light to the friend Timmy had. Hopefully, it would respond.

"You think it got the message."

"Well," said Timmy, "we have a link, so hopefully it worked."

"It has, my friend," said a voice, and that was when the Kindness appeared.


"Ow, ow," said Norm.

"Isaac, STOP,"said A.J. Isaac didn't listen. A.J. pulled out a stick and and beam of energy shot out of the stick. It knocked the club out Isaac's hand. The Fairy Godfather looked angry at A.J. and said,

"Do you KNOW who this is?"

"Yes," said A.J., "I called him here."

Isaac looked stunned and A.J. approached the blanketed Norm and removed the blanket.

"You know," said the now free Norm, "the more I'm around fairies, the more I miss being imprisoned in my lamp."

"Why did you call that GENIE," said Isaac, "do you have any idea what he did to Chester and Timmy. He's the reason I'm Chester's godparent."

"Yes," said A.J., "I'm well aware of it, but Norm's changed a bit. You do know he saved Timmy's life from Remy."

"Only because he didn't want to be permanently imprisoned in his lamp," said Isaac.

"No," said A.J., "HE just couldn't kill Timmy; he didn't have to stop Remy from killing Timmy but he did."

"That still doesn't excuse what he did to Chester."

"No," said A.J., "but to be fair, I don't think that it started out as something personal. Both Chester and Timmy were initally a means to an end."

"If you believe that, you must not be as bright as Chester said you are," said Isaac and then paused and added, "and you must not be that much of a friend to either Chester or Timmy."

A.J. was good at controlling his emotions, but there were things that could hurt him. Saying that he was a lousy friend was one of them and he looked down hurt.

"Hey," said Trixie very harshly,"Isaac,I don't know what problem you might have with Norm, but I do know and love Timmy and I know one thing; he couldn't have better friends than either Chester or A.J. Now if A.J. believes that a genie can help us, he's probably right. So you're just going to have to suck it up and be willing to work with someone you don't like or trust. Timmy had to do the exact same thing when the Darkness came, and isn't that the must important thing getting your godkid back as well as Timmy."

Everyone looked stunned at Trixie; especially Norm. "Maybe," he thought, "humans aren't so bad after all."


"Kindness," said Timmy, "can you help us, my friend."

"Certainly," said the former Darkness, "what do I need to do for you?"

"Well, we need to get back to Fairy World, and stop an evil."

"I know," said the Kindness, "I have been waiting for your call."

"So," said Timmy, "let's go."

With that the Kindness shot a beam of light at both boys and Chester, Timmy and the Kindness disappeared in a flash of light.


The flashback scene at the beginning was from Wishology The Big Beginning. I, also, quoted lines of dialogue from the episodes, Power Mad, A Wish Too Far, Foul Balled, Movie Magic and Fairly Odd Baby. Please review; hope this chapter and the characters are consisten, and hope this story isn't getting too strange!
