Chapter Three
* * *

"What happened to you?" asked Freddy, hovering over a dashing (drools) Todd.

Wanda dropped her book on sight of him, "T-t-t-todd?" she stuttered.

Where once would of stood a greasy, crusty, amphibious, and grungy Todd. Stood a clean, cut, freshly pressed, teen idol.

Todd smirked at Wanda's reaction, "What do you think, Wanda?".

"W-wh-what happened to you?" asked Wanda breathlessly.

"Mrs. R gave me a makeover" Todd grinned, Sue walked past him carrying several shopping bags "You like?".

"You.don't.stink.anymore" Wanda replied shyly.

"Wanda are you blushing?" asked Freddy in disbelief.

"No! Of course not!" Wanda glarred at Freddy, picking up her book and stalking out of the room.

"Oh Todd your just so handsome" Sue said fondly.

Freddy grinned shoving Todd playfully, "Wanda digs you man".

"YO! Really? Thought so maybe I should ask her out on a date" Todd said excitedly.

"Oh that would be so romantic!" exclaimed Sue, clapping her hands together.

"Hey What happened-OH my god you cleaned the frog!" Johnny exclaimed entering the room.

Sue smacked Johnny hard upside the head, "You shut up, he was never a frog".

At this moment, Ben walked in "Hey Freddy, up for a late jog?".

"Oh don't go!" Sue said "I rented us all a movie".

"Which one?" asked Ben suspiciously.

"Never you mind" Sue said waving her index finger at him threateningly "It's a good one".

"Where's the kids?" asked Ben quickly.

"I rented them the Last Unicorn and put it in and put it on in Franklins play room" Sue said warmly as she stroked Todd's hair.

"The Last Unicorn!?" exclaimed Ben, "What? Do you want Franklin to end up like Johnny".

"I AM NOT GAY!" screeched Johnny.

Sue laughed, "I'm gonna go get Reed and Wanda".

* * *

"-the star Vega, the brightest star in the sky, and the brightest of the summer triangle."

Reed watched with wide eyes, as he scribbled this down on his notebook, "Stargazer is my favorite show" he mumbled to Wanda.

"The guys voice is a little annoying" Wanda said turning up the volume, "And whats with the sweater?".

"I dunno" shrugged Reed.

The lab door opened and Sue entered, "Both of you upstairs, we're watching a movie".

"Is Todd watching it?" asked Wanda casually.

Sue raised an eyebrow, "I think".

"Then I would rather-"

"No Missy, your going to watch it" Sue said sternly, "And so are you Mr. Fantastic".

"Susan." whinned Reed, "I've got work to do".

"Your watching that little Star show again aren't you?" Sue asked narrowing her eyes.

"-it's actually quite fascinating-"

Reed let out a low puppy dog whimper .

"Upstairs both of you" ordered Sue pointing out the door.

Grudgingly, Reed and Wanda stood up and sulked out the door Reed giving Sue yet another whimper for merci.

"Reed."

Reed hurried out the door.

* * *

When Reed and Wanda entered the living room, the first thing that stuck out was Todd.

His usually long and unkept hair was short, chic, and fluffy. His normally yellow teeth, apparently had been bleached, he smelt of vanilla, and he wore a pair of chinos, and a baggy polo sweater (ex: Dr. Strange).

"Hey Baby cakes"

"Whatever" growled Wanda taking a seat next to Ben on the couch.

Todd turned his attention to the T.V as Wanda kept her eyes on him, blushing a light pink.

Todd looked to Wanda to see her expression, he smirked "I look good don't I?".

"Yeah right" Wanda replied, making an attempt to look away but found Todd was just so good to look at.

Todd crawled over from his seat on the ground, "So Wanda-"

'Here it comes-turn him down Wanda' thought Wanda, trying to hide her nervousness.

"How'd you like to go out.on Friday?" asked Todd hopefully.

Wanda starred at him intently, 'Come on, just turn him down as always' said once voice, another voice retorted 'Why should she? He's so pretty!'.

'He's Toad' the other voice replied, 'He smells like vanilla' the other voice defended.

And before she could get her thoughts straight Wanda replied, "Ok Fine".

Todd did a backflip happily, "Yay!".

A smile twitched on Wanda's lips, 'He is kinda cute.' she thought. 'Cute? Did you just call Toad cute?' she asked herself 'Well he is kinda cute when he's clean'.

Wanda's thoughts were interrupted, as Sue put the DVD in the DVD player, and Freddy snatched the flipping Todd.

"What movie are we watching honey?" asked Reed, who fidgeted in his seat.

Sue turned around, bouncing in front of the T.V. "Were watching 'Saturday Night Fever'".

Reed gasped, "NO!!! What are you doing to me?!".

Sue created a fore field around Reed and cheerfully took her seat.

Reed bumped his head dramatically against the force field, "No."

Todd smiled sincerely at Wanda.

Wanda smiled slightly back.

'Okay really cute.'

* * *

Wanda gently ran her hairbrush through her black locks, starring at her reflection in her bathroom mirror.

It was a little weird to see herself without Makeup on, so that's why she'd put it on right now.

I mean she wasn't going to change her style just because she was going out with Todd.on one date

'Oh come on, you know you'll go out with him again'

"I so will not" scoffed Wanda.

'But you like him right? I mean if you didn't like him then technically you wouldn't of agreed'

'And you also technically wouldn't be wearing that outfit' came another voice.

Wanda looked off to the chair on her right, she had laid out her evenings outfit, the black Capri's, Red vest, and ruby choker.

"Oh god I picked that out for him didn't I?"

'Uh huh, cause you lalalalalalalala-like him'

"I can't like Todd.he's Todd."

'And why can't you?'

"Cause he's Todd!"

'Oh stop fooling yourself you care for him'

'Maybe even-'

"No!" shouted Wanda, "I don't-"

Wanda blushed beat red, "This is so stupid" she mumbled.

She couldn't actually.love.Todd.Could she?

It was then she remembered, the weeks events. If she didn't care for Todd.then why did she spare his feelings that day? Why did she degrade herself (on his scale) to his level? She could've said, "Not all of us.only Lance, Pietro, and I". And when she let him take leadership? What was with that?

She didn't want to think about it, but it was stuck in her mind

'It won't go away until you admit you love him'

"But I-"

'Admit it, and maybe you can get some piece'

"I can't-"

'Do it, I mean it's only you'

"Okay fine.I love---Todd"

'See how easy that was?'

Wanda let out a heavy sigh, "Now I'm nervous".

* * *

Todd hopped excitedly outside, he had borrowed Sue's regular car for the night.

"I hope I look okay" he whimpered.

And unbeknownst to the Todd, he did look okay actually better than okay. He looked quite handsome.

He wrung his hands, "Jeez.I hope I do alright.".

'I've never felt this way about any girl before.she's really special.really special.'

"I think I'm in love with her"

'Well of course, yo. She's Wanda you've always been in love with her'

"Have I?"

'Come on, you love Wanda you have since you first met her'

"No not really.that was more of a crush. I don't think I really loved her until lately."

'But she could never love you.'

"She agreed to a date"

'out of pity'

"Maybe, but I really want to make this work"

Wanda exited out the Baxter Building.

"God.she looks beautiful" mumbled Todd as she slowly approached.

Bashfully Wanda turned to the side, "Um Hi.Todd."

"Hey Wanda" Todd said faintly, "You look beautiful".

Wanda blushed, "Thank you".

Todd looked up into the sky, rain drops fell down.

Todd quickly pulled off his jacket and handed it to Wanda, "Here, it's going to Rain".

Wanda hesistantly took his jacket, and slid it on.

Todd hopped over the car and to the passanger door, he opened it and waved his arms into the air.

Wanda rushed around the car and climbed inside.

Todd shut the car door, and as he hopped over to the other side. Wanda put a hand against her cheek and sighed almost happily "This is going to be a nice night".

* * *

The Restaurant was small and quaint. The Host led the two to a table, and thought to himself that they were kind of a cute, if not mismatched, couple.

There table was by the window.

"I'll have the Baked Ziti." ordered Todd, attempting to be suave.

"Rigatoni in Cheese Sauce, thanks." Said Wanda, handing her menu back to the waitress.

The rain pitter patted on the ground outside.

"You look lovely tonight, Wanda." Said Todd. Of everything that had changed, his voice hadn't.

The hurt, lonely child desperately wanting to be loved spoke through her friends debonair new look. He wanted to please her, and she was well aware of this.

"You've said that, Todd" Wanda mumbled.

"Oh, Well you do."

Wanda looked down at her plate shyly, she smiled at his cuteness.

Todd let out a heavy sigh of relief when she smiled, for a moment there he was sure was going to Hex him.

"Sue sure did a number on you." Said Wanda.

"You like it, don't you?" he asked.

"I liked the old Todd too. The only difference is the fact you took a shower." replied Wanda.

"Then, why didn't you go out with me?" he asked. Wanda sighed.

"Look, I had.well, My head was just.I wasn't ready. I was too confused." She said, as the waitress set down their food. Todd eyed his fork hesitantly. Wanda noticed this.

"You don't have to use it if you don't want to." She said.

Todd sighed.

"Yea, I do. I'm not going to embarrass you in public."

Wanda reached across the table and took his hand. The feel of her warm hands gliding across his sent prickles up his spine.

"Im dreaming." He said, his voice quavering. Wanda's heart sped up.

"Have you ever wanted to act on impulse? Just forget all the rules and do what felt right?" She whispered hoarsely. The look in her eye was hungry and needy. A blush rose over his body.

"Every time I see you." He replied, putting a hand on her face. She sunk into it eagerly.

"This is the first real freedom Iv felt in years." Whispered Wanda, just loud enough for him to hear her.

"Yea, me too." He said. gazing into her eyes, and leaning towards her.
