Chapter 2: The Time Manipulator Fairy
"I'm dreaming right?" he asked mildly.
"Of course not, Seifer! I happened to be passing by when I heard your wish! Being a good fairy, I am, I have decided to grant your wish!" Cooper chirped.
Seifer snickered. "Good fairy? I wished to fuck my teacher and you found it in your good heart to help me out and gain a thousand gil?"
Cooper paled immediately when she heard his wish. "Oh," she mumbled softly, looking at the floor. But almost immediately she brightened up and grinned widely. Seifer decided that his hallucination was getting on his nerves.
"And what kind of a name is Cooper anyway? Fairy name my ass. It doesn't sound like a fairy. Cooper from Valley of Twin Mountains…Twin Mountains?" Seifer continued. Seifer fixed his eyes on Cooper's revealing outfit and chortled with glee. He came closer towards his hallucination. Cooper seemed to cower as Seifer towered over the petite fairy. He looked down at her before whispering into her ear, "Twin Mountains? More like Twin Peaks to me."
Cooper's eyes widened and slapped Seifer. Hard. Hard enough to knock him down to the floor.
"What the fuck?" he groaned. "Hallucinations aren't supposed to hurt."
Cooper stomped one foot. "Seifer, would you pay attention or I won't grant your wish!" she pouted.
Seifer glared up from the floor.
"Alright, what?"
Cooper grinned again and to Seifer's dismay started to semi-dance, semi-skip around the room and started speaking once more in a sing-song voice. "My name is Cooper and I'm a Time Manipulator Fairy from the Valley of Twin Mountains! I'm here to grant your wish."
"Yeah, yeah, get to the fucking point." Seifer muttered, his ego sore from being thrown down to the floor by a girl.
"I overheard your wish and I decided to make it come true!" Cooper continued.
"Whoopee! I get to sleep with Instructor Quistis. My life is so much better now! How can I ever thank you?"
Cooper rolled her eyes and offered her hand to help Seifer up. Seifer brushed it aside and got up on his own. He gave her the infamous Seifer intimidation glare, but obviously, this fairy had the IQ of a rabbit to notice anything.
Cooper grinned. "Fine then? Seifer, do you know what I am?"
"A Time Manipulator Fairy." It took Seifer a lot not to say "A skanky whore."
"Good, good. Now since I've granted your wish, I shall give you." There was a grand pause as more glitter fell. There was a brilliant flash. In Cooper's hands was a remote control the size of a credit card.
Seifer raised his eyebrows, not impressed the least.
"This is a Time Manipulator Remote." Cooper said chirpily. "Created and patented by the fairies of Time Manipulators to avoid any more Time Compression incidences, only Time Manipulator Fairies are allowed to carry this and bestow it on those they deem worthy."
Seifer cringed when he heard the word Time Manipulator and worthy in the same sentence. And he cringed from hearing too many capital letters in one sentence.
"And?"
"And what?" Cooper asked, looking confused.
"Well, what's the fucking point?"
Cooper pouted again when she heard him say that. "Well, you're one person that I found worthy enough to use this remote."
Seifer laughed. "Me worthy? Assuming that I am," he muttered bitterly. "What does this oh-so wonderful remote do?"
Cooper brightened almost immediately and started to semi dance and semi skip around the room again to Seifer's dismay.
"You are allowed to go back in time as many times as you want to a time and a place when you could fix certain mistakes to change the future of course!"
Seifer eyed the remote almost hungrily. Could he perhaps, go back and change….. "Interesting," he murmured.
"It's far beyond interesting! You could go back and fix all the misdeeds you had done for the betterment of mankind."
"Can I have it?" Seifer asked nicely putting his hand out. This way he could, perhaps, redeem himself. No more Edea, no more Ultimecia business and he would not be ashamed and…
Cooper grinned and said, "No-no! I know what you're thinking! You want to go back and change that past! That you cannot do!"
Seifer became angry. "And why the hell not? I should be able to change something that more important than something trivial such as sleeping with my teacher. If that changed, I probably had been able to sleep with her much earlier."
Cooper sighed. "Sorry, Seifer. You just didn't wish for it. I could only grant you wishes that you wish for. But who cares? It would be fun."
Cooper dangled the remote in front of Seifer. Seifer snatched it greedily.
"There are several ground rules okay?" she began. "Firstly, the only buttons you're allowed to use is the rewind, play and pause button. Fast-forward is strictly forbidden. Even if you want to use it, you can't. You would have to ask for permission from the Head Fairy yourself. Trust me, it's tough getting an appointment from her. I mean, did you know I had to wait almost three decades before I got an appointment with her? And to think that was last century!"
Seifer glared at her and Cooper began to look nervous.
"Ah, okay. I'll hurry. Ah, the time period you're allowed to use it in is one month before Quistis got engaged right up to the day she gets married. This is the best time since Alan isn't in the Garden at that point in time."
Seifer nodded.
"You can use it as many times as you want. But there is a Cinderella catch. The only time period you can actually use the TM Remote is in the past and on the day that Quistis marries Instructor Alan…do you know his last name? You know what? I don't think anyone knows his last name! But anyway, the Cinderella catch is that the remote will disappear the moment she says 'I do'. So watch to make sure you use it before she says 'I do' or you lose your bet forever."
"Those are the ground rules Seifer, go enjoy yourself. You sorely need it okay? Just don't play any pranks on anyone when you're back in time!"
Even as Cooper said the last sentence, she faded away. Seifer grinned. He could finally get his sweet revenge on the Instructor for failing him in the last test. Seifer looked around his room to see that his room was in a glittery mess.
"The sk…" Seifer began.
"I heard it the first time you bastard. Say it one more time, Seifer and I will fry your ass. My cousin is the Lightning Fairy and she owes me one!" said a chirpy voice from nowhere.
Taken aback
slightly, Seifer stood for a second with his mouth open. Then, smirking he
pocketed the remote and headed towards the ceremony.
