Here I am, back with a vengeance!! I've been having a really nice time here
in P.R., but personally, I can't wait to go back to Florida. The heat here
is not intense, but it's sticky and annoying. Uggghh . . . .
Anyway, today we're getting off the current storyline and I'll be writing on what Sparkle went through before she and her brother traveled back in time. Don't get lost, 'cuz this chappy takes place almost five centuries into the future!
Disclaimer: I don't own FOP or any of the characters in the show. I never have and I never will. Neither in the past, present or the future. ok, you get my point, right?
------------------------------------------ Part 11
~*~*~*~ 499 Years Into The Future ~*~*~*~
"Where do we go now?" Wanda said holding Rick by his hand.
The four of them - Cosmo, Wanda, Rickstardo and Sparkle - were off strolling in Fairy World that day.
"Wanda! What about Cherry World? Huh? Huh?" Cosmo said grabbing onto Wanda's free hand.
"Again? I don't know, I-- Cosmo, where's Sparkle? I told you not to let go of her!"
Cosmo looked at his other hand and indeed, it was empty. He grinned nervously at his wife, who was scowling.
"Don't worry, Ma. I know how to get her back." Rick turned around and called out, "SPARK! I FOUND WAFFLES!"
In less than two seconds, Sparkle poofed in their sight with a crazed look. She looked around for Waffles, a stuffed unicorn.
"Where? Where?!" she said grabbing Rick's shirt collar.
"Rickstardo, that's not nice. You don't know where Waffles is, do you?" Wanda said.
"I know where it is!" Cosmo said.
"You do? Where??"
"I ate them this morning for breakfast."
Sparkle laughed and Wanda rolled her eyes.
Yes, the life of the untraditional fairy family goes on. Cosmo and Wanda were required to retire from godparenting the day Wanda found out she was pregnant. with twins. Couple of centuries pass by and the 2 sibs - who were still at an early age - were responsible enough to stay on their own. Actually, /Rick/ was responsible enough.
And yet another anniversary has arrived, noting Cosmo and Wanda's marriage. And the kids insisted to their parents to go on ahead and do whatever they'd like that day. Too bad they didn't see it coming. but after that day, Cosmo and Wanda mysteriously disappeared.
Was it magical backup? Fairynappings? Stolen souls? Lost in another dimension? Rick never found out. All he did was sit at his home and worry, and worry, and worry. He could only imagine the horrible things that might have happened to his mom and dad. Wanda raised him by her side for so long and has always made sure she was there whenever he needed help. But she wasn't there now. He was left in his home with Sparkle. alone.
Sparkle was in no different condition. She sat near her brother in the verge of tears, holding Waffles tightly. Sparkle looked at her brother. He seemed calm and so in control often. the poor fairy girl only hoped she could someday be like her brother. While her Ma and Rick usually worked together, Sparkle had become immensely attached to Cosmo (as you may have already guessed). Talking, joking around, playing together, and soon Cosmo started raising her himself.
~*~
"I don't know, Cosmo. Can you really handle being completely in charge of her?" Wanda had said to him.
"Of course!" Cosmo had answered confidently, holding a pair of scissors. "You do it with Rick all the time! How hard could it be?"
"Daddy?" Little Sparkle walked toward them (fairy tots walk before they fly). "Found sicksors?"
"Yeah, here they are." Cosmo handed the scissors to Sparkle. "Now go up and finish your work! Go ahead, run! Run!"
"NO! DON'T RUN!!" Wanda said, going after her.
~*~
Cosmo was Sparkle's only best friend, also. Other fairy children were creeped out by her the same way it was for Cosmo as a kid. Guess there are some disadvantages.
And now. her only comfort was her own brother, who she wasn't very close to, and her stuffed unicorn, which wasn't even real. They waited. and waited. and waited. until they couldn't take it anymore. Rick sighed deeply and looked out the window.
"Something's gone wrong. very wrong," Rick said.
"Well, doy!" Sparkle said a little rudely. She was fed up on sitting around and not taking charge of this. She someday wanted to be courageous like her brother? 'Well, that day is today,' she thought. Spark hovered up and put down Waffles.
"I'll be right back," she said to Rick.
"But you know you can't leave the house without Ma or me. And you'll probably forget where we live, anyway."
"In times like this, it's hard to forget what I'm doing. You stay here and see if they come back, ok? I'll be fine."
Before Rick could answer, Sparkle left in a **poof**. She headed beyond another dimension where she hoped she could find the one being that knows about every misfortune in the universe, whether it happens to a human, an animal or any magical individual. That being was the Grim Reaper.
The young fairy entered the dimension that was Limbo, not knowing exactly where to go from there. There was a sign advertising 'tour guides', and Sparkle headed that way. A dark figure stood in the distance.
"Uh, hey! Hello! Over here!" she called out to it, waving her arms over her head. The dark figure disappeared and reappeared near her.
"What can I do for you?" it asked her.
The figure was completely cloaked from head to toe. The only distinguishable part of it was the hands. And his dark red eyes seemed to glow from under the hood.
"Are you.?"
"The Reaper? Yes, I am."
"Oh, yes!" Sparkle said excited. "Yes! Oh, please Mr. Reaper! My parents are gone and I don't know what happened to them. Could you tell me where they have gone, please?!"
She dug deep into her pockets, and pulled out a family photograph of all four and gave it to the Reaper. He studied it carefully.
"Hmm. names?"
"Cosmo, my daddy," she said pointing to her dad, who was holding his wife in embrace. "And Wanda, my mommy." Wanda in the picture holding Waffles on one hand and ruffling Sparkle's hair with the other. Rick and Spark were all smiles.
"Cosmo and Wanda," the Grim Reaper repeated. ". fairies. follow me."
Despite the fact that the Reaper appeared very, um, lifeless. he certainly moved fast even for Sparkle. He led her to a library where most books were in volumes. He pulled two books from a section of mystical creatures. In one he found Cosmo's name and found Wanda's in the other.
"Here they are."
"Ooh! You have a book about my parents?! Cool! Does it mention Rick? Do you have a book about me?!"
"I have a book about everybody."
Sparkle kept quiet and figured that the Reaper didn't like to answer too many questions, judging by his monotone voice. Moments later, he closed the books and looked at Sparkle, expressionless.
"It seems the fairies in question have suffered an excessive loss of magic due to a fatal drainage in the past."
Sparkle blinked a few times.
The Grim Reaper let out an exasperated sigh. "Your parents are dead at the fault of a crazy human," he rephrased.
Sparkle's eyes filled with tears again. She just couldn't understand! How could they do this to her?
"It's not fair! I'm only 400 years old!" she cried out. She sobbed quietly while the emotionless Reaper just crossed his arms.
"Ok, ok. If you're done with the useless bawling, I can tell you how to get them back," he said.
"You can get them back?!" Sparkle said quickly recovered.
"It's up to you and your brother. You should go to this part of the human world," the Reaper handed her handwritten directions, "and you will have to prevent your parents to be magically drained from this human," he then handed her a faded picture of Mr. Crocker.
"Ok! That seems simple enough." Sparkle chirped and turned to leave, but the Grim Reaper reappeared before her, blocking her exit.
"Hold on!" his eerie voice echoed throughout the place. "I am not one to let beings go with generous deeds of mine! Let's make this a bit more interesting."
Spark gulped and shrank back. She didn't like the sound of that.

Jedi: WOHOOHOO! I'm so ev-- erm, I mean. ::looks at Cosmo nervously:: I leave you here in suspense! Boy, Spark really is stealing the show!

Cosmo: Yeah! ::to Jedi:: How could you say that about my little baby girl?! ::changes into fireman::
Jedi: No! No! No, I didn't mean it that way! NOT THE HOSE! ::gets sprayed with firehose::
Wanda: Well, speaking for the author, I must say that getting the Grim Reaper himself into this fanfic was definitely not easy.
Grim Reaper: You've got that right! You're lucky I had no reaping scheduled tonight, or I'd have my own reasons to blow up your entire domain with an A- Bomb!
Cosmo: ::turns his attention to the Reaper:: Oh boy! Hope you have fun!
Wanda: Cosmo, you idiot. do you know what an A-Bomb is?!
Cosmo: Sure! 'A bomb' is what some readers call this fanfic!
Wanda: ::rolls her eyes:: That's not funny.
Cosmo: I know! ::grins::
Jedi: ::standing up:: Oh man! And I just curled my hair! Well, this concludes this chapter! Read and Review! Adiós!!
