Ooh! New reviews! Yay, yay! Thanks for your support, even though I admit myself that the story is going awfully slow. So pathetic-- Huh... am I turning against myself? Do I really feel that I'm doing horribly? Or is there another part of me that holds these feelings and-

Cosmo: "Another part of you? ::Gasp!:: You must have an EVIL TWIN!"

Jedi: "No, I just--"

Sparkle: "The exact opposite of you... I bet her name is DarthWanda!!"

Cosmo: "Another Wanda?"

Wanda: -_- ::shakes her head::

Jedi: "Before this goes any further, I present you Chapter seven."

Cosmo: "By DarthWanda! ~SmAcK!~ Oww!"

-------------------------------- Part 7

"... seriously, where is what?"

Timmy looked incredulous. His eye twitched and his fists shook.

"I'm very sorry, Timmy!" Rick said immediately. "I-I should have seen this coming. This time, I'm not taking chances. I'll go in and retrieve it with her."

"Don't worry about it. In fact, sometimes I go through worse..." Timmy glanced over at Cosmo, who had gone back to the poker game demanding best two out of three.

"But, Timmy, now that I think about it, Cosmo hasn't done anything stupid in awhile..." Wanda whispered to him.

"Yeah, I noticed... I wonder if he's ok..."

"Hey, you won all my money!" Cosmo said apalled as the bird took a handful (wing-ful?) of coins. "Gasp! NO! NOT PHILLIP!!!"

". . . he's ok," Wanda said half-lidded.

"Forget this!" Timmy said. "We're all going in there!"

"But Timmy--"

"All we're gonna do is walk across the mattresses, go to the stinking closet, and get my stinkin' homework before the rats EAT IT!"

Everyone stared at him. Timmy blushed and he looked at his feet.

"Sorry, I kinda... lost myself there."

"Simply locating the fairies and producing proof of their existance is just not enough!" Crocker mumbled to himself bitterly. "But it will have to do for now... as I work on my magic-resistant, FAIRY-CAPTURING capsule!"

Mr. Crocker has established himself inside the warehouse and was setting up numerous camera equipment behind the furniture. He knew Timmy was to come in with his fairies.

But being the camouflaging failure that he is, Timmy noticed him and the cameras all the way from the entrance.

"Oh, no! Crocker's in the warehouse! Quick! I wish you were all disguised as children!"

"Children? Is that the best you can come up with?" Rick said.

"Yes, it is in such short notice! Just make with the magic, ok?!?"

Cosmo and Wanda swinged their wands and *ELEMENTARY!* read the magical cloud of smoke.

"Soon, I will have the evidence!" Crocker continued, rubbing his hands together. "The evidence in the existance of FAIR-Y GOD-PARENTS! The evidence that will give me the ultimate magical power of--"

He stopped short when he heard footsteps walking past him.

"Perfect..." he sneered quietly.

He switched on all the cameras, both video and digital, and crouched down with a grin. The sound of the footsteps ceased. Crocker figured they stopped at the shock, so he leaped out of his hiding place.

"Aha!" he cried out pointing to a confused Timmy. "You have fallen into my clever trap and now I have the proof of... your. . ."

He slowed down as he looked at the kids one by one.

"Hi, Mr. Crocker!" Timmy said. "I'm just here reliving last week's 8-minute tour! Boy, did time fly by then or what?" he started to grow nervous. "So I brought some friends because they--"

"are fairies?!?"

"N-no, it's just that-being exchange students from uhh, Russia, I thought they would be interested in a excurtion similar to ours!"

"I don't know what he said," Cosmo whispered to Wanda, "but he's good..."

"Yes, well..." Crocker muttered as the 'kids' passed him by. "Of course. Well, I'm off to find FAIRIES--! I mean... fair-ly good bed covers."

Timmy and the fairies began to walk faster.

"Hey, great!" Rick said to Timmy. "I didn't think your stupid wish would work!"

Wanda kicked at Rick's ankle in response to the rude remark.

"Actually, I've had closer calls before,"

"Oh, by the way," Crocker added, "I really like that white, wing-like fabric in your sweater, young man."

Timmy screeched to a halt. 'Wing-like fabric?!?!' he thought in mild panic. He turned his head slowly toward Cosmo, who had forgotten to hide his wings. Timmy tried signaling him to get his attention.

But Mr. Crocker took only two steps before he realized what he just said.

"Waitaminute!" he exclaimed, turning around.

"Uhh... gotta go!" Timmy took of like a shot. He glanced behind him, looking at his godparents, Rick and Spark.

"RUN!!!"

Jedi: "Thus ends another chapter. What will happen next?! Will Crocker catch them?! Will Timmy get his homework back?! And why is Cosmo so not like himself?! Is he hiding something? Is there something wrong with him? Or is it just that the Author does a terrible job at keeping him in character?!"

::Everyone stares::

Jedi: "...what?"

Wanda: ::looks away:: "Oh, nothing."

Jedi: "Please Read and Review! And I ask, no fl-"

Cosmo: ::as a fireman:: "FIRE D--" ::Jedi covers his mouth::

Jedi: "On second thought, give me your honest opinion. ::grins:: Adiós!"
