(AN: Hello again, thanks for the reviews, I own very little except the many characters I created, which I hope you know who they are. Updates will probably be only on weekends, as school started this week. Ugh. Well, here we go.)

"So, how much of that info did Cosmo remember?" asked Timmy.

Wanda laughed. "We only taught him two things that night, you know. And he remembered both of them! Well, for the most part…"

"What do you mean?"

"Our teacher could tell that Cosmo was having trouble in class," said Wanda. "So she gave him some tests to see if he belonged in a special class or not."

Timmy looked confused. "Special?"

"Special education. You know, for people… with learning disorders," said Wanda, saying it in the most delicate way she could. "You'll have them in middle school. Well, I mean, not you personally, but there are special ed classes in middle school."

"Oh, I see," said Timmy. "So what did they test Cosmo on?"

Wanda shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that, when Leslie and I came in to see his progress, he was stammering a little, but when he saw us he yelled, 'Four!' I thought he was playing golf or something,"

"Lemme guess. They asked him what two plus two was."

Wanda nodded. "Yep. And according to our teacher--and Cosmo too, come to think of it-he couldn't remember the answer until Leslie and I came in. So, of course, our teacher thought we were helping Cosmo cheat so she put him in a special needs class that very day."

"Jeez, tough teacher," muttered Timmy. "So, what were you and Cougar doing?"

"We dated. Every Saturday we saw each other."

Timmy stared at her. "That's it? I thought people who dated saw each other every day!"

"Well, I told Cougar that I had to spend a lot of time with Cosmo and Leslie. We still tutored him, if that's what you want to call it, because we wanted him back in class with us. Cougar was really understanding." Wanda smiled in remembrance.

"So how is this all going to work out?" asked Timmy. "I mean, you were with Cougar and Leslie liked Cosmo? I mean--"

"Timmy, what did I tell you about asking questions that'll give away the story?" scolded Wanda.

"And what did I tell you about insulting the author?" asked Commander.

"I didn't say anything!" cried Timmy. "Commander, can you possibly write just ONE chapter that you're not in?"

"Sure!" cried Commander.

"Next chapter then, show me," muttered Timmy. "And I'd be willing to bet that you show up."

"You're on," said Commander haughtily. "Five dollars?"

"Sounds good," said Timmy. "See you next chapter."

Wanda looked a little testy. "Now that that's done, can I continue?"

"Oh, right," said Timmy, leaning in closer to Wanda to hear her better. "So, when did things get… serious between you and Cougar? Or did it ever?"

"Actually, it did," said Wanda, that nostalgic smile back on her face. "We were on a date and…"

"Not working too well, huh?"

Wanda sighed and shook her head. "Cosmo really wants to learn, but he just can't understand things, no matter what way Leslie and I teach him. And he feels upset that he's inconveniencing us. We don't really have much fun anymore."

Cougar nodded sympathetically. "You three just need to go and have some fun. Forget about the tutoring. Hey, I was thinking…"

Wanda looked at him curiously. "What?"

"Well, you know how we have that end of the school year dance in a few weeks?"

"Yeah… what about it?"

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to go with me."

Wanda smiled at him. "Of course!" she said happily.

"Great!" said Cougar, leaning in closer to Wanda. "And you could invite Leslie and Cosmo to come with us. I really want to meet them, they sound like fun fairies. And they'd have fun, too. What do you say?"

"That's a great idea," grinned Wanda. "Leslie would like to go to a dance with Cosmo, even if they aren't technically dating."

"Great. You ask them about it. I think that it'll be a lot of fun… for all of us."

Cougar's hand reached out and held Wanda's. Wanda's jaw dropped in surprise. Even though they had been dating for months, this was the first time he had ever held her hand. Wanda felt little tingles run through her body. So many, in fact, that she pulled her hand away in shock. Cougar looked surprised, but then shrugged. "Well, I'll see you next week, okay?"

"Okay," nodded Wanda. Cougar waved his wand and poofed out of sight. Wanda smacked her head in anger.

"You are so STUPID!" she yelled at herself. She flew back home, mentally and out loud cursing herself for acting like an idiot when he actually held her hand…

She opened the door to her house and flew in. Both her parents were sitting on the couch, with strange smiles on their faces. Wanda looked at them. "What are you smiling at?"

"We've got some great news, Wanda," said Paula, smiling even wider. "You're going to have a little brother or sister."

Wanda stared at them. "You're pregnant, Mom?"

Paula laughed. "Yes!" She hugged Wanda. Wanda grinned. Okay, except for her being completely idiotic when Cougar held her hand, today was great! Cougar asked her to the dance and she was going to have a baby brother or sister!

"That's great!" cried Wanda. "Have you told Sarah yet?"

"No, not yet," said Paula.

"But I'll go get her," said Todd, poofing off to Sarah's house that she moved into a few years ago.

"Wow, Mom, this is fantastic!" cried Wanda. "Hopefully it'll be a boy this time."

"That's what your father and I were thinking, but we'll take what we get, you know," said Paula with a smile. Todd and Sarah poofed into the room, Sarah looking positively flabbergasted.

"Mom! A baby? This is AWESOME! I'll have another baby sibling to take care of!" cried Sarah.

Wanda snorted. "Yeah, right! Like you ever took care of me?"

"When you were a baby, yes," said Sarah with a grin, her red eyes flashing mischievously.

"Hey, I've got some good news too," said Wanda, smiling. "Cougar asked me to the end of the school year dance!"

"Cool!" said Sarah. "That dance is a blast. Tony and I are going again, you know."

"And I'm going to invite Les and Cozzie to go with us," said Wanda.

Sarah's smile faded. "Do you think Cougar will like that?"

"Well, it was his idea," said Wanda. "And I think we'll have a lot of fun!"

"Aah, so you have a younger sibling too," said Timmy, smiling. "Was it a boy or a girl?"

"I'll tell you when it's born," said Wanda, smiling even bigger than Timmy.

Timmy sighed. "This story is very suspenseful, isn't it? I don't know what your sibling is, or mine, and I don't know who all you dated, and I don't know why you're not living in Fairy World, and why that makes you sad for some reason, and… well, anyway, on with the story. What happened at that dance?"

"Well," said Wanda, "let's fade out so I can tell you…"

Wanda leaned against the wall, listening happily to the music blaring out of the stereos that humans had yet to invent. Cougar looked at her strangely. "Uh, Wanda, what are you doing?"

Wanda smiled. "Just listening to the music."

"Ah," said Cougar, smiling also. "So do you know when Leslie and Cosmo are coming?"

"Any time now, I think," said Wanda, looking around. "I'm glad they wanted to come. You'll like them."

"I'm sure I will," grinned Cougar. Wanda could feel her knees buckling. How'd she get so lucky to go out with such a cute, sweet guy?

"Hey Wanda!" cried a voice. Wanda turned and saw Leslie flying up to her, with Cosmo not too far behind.

"Hey, Leslie!" said Wanda happily. "We were wondering if you'd ever come. Hi, Cosmo."

"This is gonna be FUN!" cried Cosmo in exuberance. Leslie and Wanda grinned. Wanda turned to Cougar.

"Well, Cougar, as you probably know, these are my friends Leslie and Cosmo. Les, Cozzie, as you probably know, this is my boyfriend Cougar."

"Nice to meet you," said Leslie, shaking Cougar's hand warmly. "But I have seen you before, you know…"

Cougar grinned. "Yeah, I remember you."

Cosmo grinned too. "I remember you too! And Wanda thinks you're hot!"

Wanda blushed fiercely. "Uh, Cosmo, could you keep your comments to a minimum today?"

"Oh," said Cosmo quietly, looking a little ashamed. "Okay…"

Cougar laughed. "That's okay!" He shook Cosmo's hand. "It's nice to meet you, Cosmo. Wanda's always telling me great things about you and Leslie."

Cosmo looked at Wanda in awe. "Really?"

Wanda shrugged and laughed. "Duh! You two are my best friends!"

"And you're the best!" cried Leslie, giving Wanda a big hug.

The song changed to a fast swing-ish song. Cougar reached out his hand towards Wanda. "Shall we?"

"Okay," said Wanda happily, taking his hand. The two went out onto the dance floor and, uh… danced. Since it was a fast swing, they were moving… fast. (AN: I think I'm losing my writing ability…) Wanda looked at Leslie and Cosmo where were sitting there watching. "Why don't you two dance?" she asked.

Leslie shrugged. "I don't really know how."

"Pickles!" cried Cosmo, standing at the food stand and eating the eighteen pickles he had purchased.

"And I'm guessing Cos doesn't either," said Leslie, a small smile creeping up her face.

Cougar looked at Wanda and grinned. "Wanda, I think they need dancing lessons. Shall we teach them?"

"Well, okay," said Wanda with a shrug. She didn't really want to stop dancing with Cougar, but she wanted Leslie and Cosmo to have fun. She and Cougar flew over to Leslie.

Cougar held out his hand to Leslie. "Would you like a dancing lesson, miss?" he asked. Leslie looked at Wanda. Wanda smiled at her and nodded. Leslie looked back at Cougar.

"Okay, if Wanda's fine with it!" she said. She followed Cougar to the dance floor. Wanda flew over to Cosmo.

"Hey, Cosmo, put those pickles aside," said Wanda. "I'm gonna teach you how to dance!"

Cosmo looked at Wanda in confusion. "I thought you and Cougar were dancing."

"We were, but when we saw that you and Leslie weren't doing anything, we thought we'd teach you. Once you've learned, you can dance with Les!"

"That'll be fun!" said Cosmo happily, the familiar giddy grin on his face once again. Wanda took his hand and pulled him out onto the dance floor.

"Okay, hold your arm up above you and twirl me," said Wanda, lifting Cosmo's arm up.

"Uh… is this hard to do?" asked Cosmo.

"Not really. Here." Wanda twirled under his arm and stretched out. "Do you want to try that again?"

"Sure! But I don't want to do this all night. I wanna finish my pickles!"

Wanda laughed. "Don't worry, Cos, I'll let you finish your pickles."

Much later into the night…

Cougar and Wanda were slow dancing near the corner of the gym. Wanda felt as if she was on cloud nine… she and Cougar were holding each other sooooooo close….

Wanda looked at Leslie, who was attempting to slow dance with Cosmo, but wasn't doing so good. If she tried to get very close to him, Cosmo would yell, "Aaaaugh! What are you doing?" and Leslie was forced to back off. Wanda felt sorry for Leslie. All she wanted to do was show her affection…

Cougar looked Wanda in the eyes. Wanda felt a wave of emotion sweep through her, and she knew what it was. Gazing back at him sweetly, she whispered, "I love you."

Cougar looked surprised. Wanda gave him a confused look. "What?"

"Uh… I wasn't expecting that," muttered Cougar, loosening his grip on Wanda's waist. Wanda sighed. That's what she got for being honest! She could tell why Leslie was reluctant to tell Cosmo her true feelings.

After the song ended, Cougar pulled Wanda close to the wall and gazed at her apologetically. "I'm sorry about that. You just startled me. I love you, too."

Wanda smiled in exuberance. Cougar leaned towards her and held her face tenderly in his hands. Wanda caught her breath quickly, knowing what was about to happen--her first kiss. Their lips touched gently for a few moments. Cougar pulled away and smiled at her. The lights turned on. Wanda blinked.

"I… I think it's time to go home," said Wanda. Reluctantly. She didn't want this night to end. Cougar held Wanda's hand, and the two of them floated outside. Cosmo and Leslie were there.

"Thanks for coming, you guys," said Wanda to her friends. "It was fun."

Leslie looked at Wanda curiously. "What are you smiling about?"

Wanda only smiled even more. "I'll tell you on Monday."
