(AN: Greetings, my friends from fanfiction.net. You should feel very lucky that I am able to update, because I will tell you, after all that's happened this week, I am lucky to be alive. First of all, at early morning band practice one morning the mosquitoes were EVERYWHERE. Remember, I live in Nebraska, which is kind of a hot spot for West Nile. One of our band members is running a fever and they think it might actually be West Nile. I hope it isn't, she's a nice girl! But anyway, the main reason I'm lucky to be alive is because I was in my first-ever car accident this week! Three separate explosions, eighteen people dead, I lost all my limbs expect my left leg and it's hard to type… okay. Fender bender in the school parking lot. Both of us were going, at most, five mph. The bad thing is that it's my fault… IT'S ALL MY FAULT!
And we had another home football game last night. I was so proud of my fluties! We did so good! And then our band director talks to the band: "You need to do better!" Like I said, a lot of people don't care about band. Mostly freshmen. But here's the awesome part. Two of the freshmen flutes are fed up with that and they're getting all the freshmen together today to get them whipped into shape. If only all our freshmen had the same attitude they did! I'm SOOOO proud of them! Go flutes! And this is the longest author's note I've ever written. But if I write weird stuff, I have an excuse. I have had a very weird week.)
"Commander!" said Timmy with a laugh. "You got in a car accident?"
"There are reasons that I don't like to drive!" said Commander. "And that's one of them!"
Castle sat up in her cradle and giggled a little. Wanda flew over to her daughter.
"Castle, you should be asleep! What are you doing up?"
"I think she just wants to hear her mother's story," said Timmy, smiling a little. "Is that it, Cassie?"
Castle put her hand in her mouth, looked at Timmy, and smiled, looking super cute.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" said Commander suddenly. "I need to tell Castle something."
Wanda and Timmy looked confused. "Tell Castle something?" Wanda asked. "What is it? And will she even understand it?"
"Castle, Final Girl says hi," said Commander. Castle cooed and smiled even bigger, still biting on her little hand.
Commander suddenly jumped out of the nowhereness of Author Land and picked up Castle, cuddling her and talking in baby talk. "Ooooh, Castle, you're such a cutie-wootie! Yes you are! Kitchey kitchey koo!"
"Uh… Commander, you're supposed to be writing the story, not talking baby to your original characters," said Timmy.
Commander looked embarrassed. "Oh… right," she said, exiting back to God knows where.
"Well, let's get back on track," said Timmy, picking up Castle and cuddling her, although not to the extent that Commander had. "And to do that, I'll say--" Timmy jutted his lips out slightly mockingly-- "Aaaw! Poor Wanda! She's still in love with Cougar! Although," said Timmy, looking normal again and actually smiling slyly, "for being one who believes in sharing feelings about love, you seemed pretty slow to realize that you were falling in love with Cosmo."
"I was, wasn't I?" said Wanda. "Although I can't exactly pinpoint a time when I started falling in love with him. It was probably around then, though, wasn't it?"
"Yeah, well, you obviously don't realize it. We still have three boyfriends left to go! And Commander said that Juandissimo appears in this chapter!"
"Oh, alright," said Wanda. "Listen up. You too, Castle…"
***
"So how many other fairies do this godparenting thing?" asked Wanda's godson that Commander can't think of a name for, since he lived more than ten thousand years ago and you can't simply name him "Jeff" or whatnot. Wanda shrugged.
"Quite a few. I don't know the numbers."
"Do you know who else has fairy godparents?" asked the godson.
"Yes, but I can't tell you. It's against Da Rules," said Wanda. "If you find out about other children with fairy godparents, you have to find out by yourself."
Another boy suddenly walked past the godson's window, saying happily, "I have a fairy godparent!"
"That was convenient," said Wanda's godson, running outside. "Hey! You have a fairy godparent?"
The other child suddenly realized that he had made a mistake, but he said slowly, "…Yes…"
"So do I!" said Wanda's godson. Wanda had disguised herself as a bird, and was fluttering over her godson's head. The other boy pointed to a ferret.
"Here's mine! He speaks a language that hasn't really been invented yet."
The ferret turned into… well, he turned into Juandissimo Magnifico. You all know what he looks like. And he looked pretty much the same, even more than ten thousand years ago.
"Hola, nino!" said Juandissimo. (AN: Sorry, I don't know how to make the tilde over the n. It's supposed to be over the second n. I know I spelled it wrong, but I don't know the mechanisms of my computer!)
"What did he say?" asked Wanda's godson.
"I think he said, 'Hello, kid'," said Juandissimo's godson, "but I'm not too sure."
Wanda looked at this new fairy. He seemed pretty full of himself, but… he was also pretty darn sexy. Besides, since fairies usually only had one break a year at Christmas time (and no, I have no idea how Christmas existed ten thousand years ago, but it did, kay?) she found herself wishing she could spend time with her fellow fairies more often. So she poofed to her fairy self and introduced her to this stranger.
"Hello, my name's Wanda. It's nice to meet you… uh, what's your name?"
Juandissimo stared at Wanda with little hearts forming in his eyes. Wanda sighed. "Oh, snap out of it. I'm not THAT pretty. Actually, I'm kind of plain looking."
"Oh, no, you are not, you beautiful and sexy lady who still not as beautiful and sexy as me, JUANDISSIMO MAGNIFICO!" he cried, his shirt doing the trademark ripping off thing.
Wanda sighed again and rolled her eyes. "I'll have to admit that you are extremely sexy, but you're kind of full of yourself, aren't you?"
Juandissimo grinned. "Why shouldn't I be? All the ladies are madly in love with me, and if I were female, I would be too!"
"Uh… what?" asked Wanda.
"Shall we have dinner tonight?" asked Juandissimo suddenly.
Wanda shrugged. "Okay… sure."
"Wooo hooo!" said Juandissimo. "I have a date con una chica bonita!"
"Huh?" asked Wanda.
"Hablo espanol," said Juandissimo somewhat smugly (there's that missing ~ again! ARGH!), "but it doesn't make much sense because it hasn't really been invented yet."
"I still don't understand what you're saying," muttered Wanda.
***
Timmy laughed. "Some things never change, huh?"
"Yes, unfortunately," said Wanda with a sigh. "But there, are you happy? There's Juandissimo, and he was my third boyfriend."
"It is kinda weird that he's speaking Spanish, even though it didn't exist back then," said Timmy. "Why is that, Commander?"
"Hey, Juandissimo isn't Juandissimo unless he says at least some things in Spanish. Besides, how else am I supposed to use all the knowledge I have gained from my Spanish III class? And by the way, Timmy, eres un zapato."
"Did you just call Timmy a shoe?" asked Wanda.
"Hey, how did you know that?" asked Commander.
"Juan taught me a little bit of Spanish," admitted Wanda.
"You called me a shoe?" cried Timmy. "And what's this about 'don't insult the author'?"
"Hey, that's about the only thing in Spanish that I can say," said Commander.
"Well… anyway, I'll just ignore that," said Timmy, trying to keep Castle from crawling out of his arms. In vain, Castle pumped her little wings, trying to break free.
"Castle, you're too young to be flying yet!" scolded Wanda gently. She scooped her daughter out of Timmy's arms.
"How old are fairies when they learn how to fly?" asked Timmy.
"They learn to walk first, at about the same age as humans. Then they start to fly at about one and a half or two. It kinda varies," said Wanda.
"Just a minute," said Timmy. He opened his bedroom door and yelled down the stairs, "Mom! Are you in labor yet?"
"AAAAAAUUUUUGHHHH!" cried Mr. Turner. "Timmy! Don't do that again! I thought your mom was going into labor!"
"It sounds a little different than that, honey!" said Mrs. Turner. "And no, I'm not in labor yet!"
"Okay! Just checking!" said Timmy, closing his bedroom door and sitting down on his bed. "So, Wanda, I'm having this feeling of impending doom. Don't tell me that your life has something else terrible in it--"
Wanda laughed. "Jeez, my whole life is filled with impending doom. Commander likes to torture me, I think."
"It's not that," said Commander. "I just have this angsty writer trapped inside of me who is furiously attempting to claw her way out."
Wanda sighed at the author's antics, then turned to Timmy again, bouncing Castle up and down on her knee. "Well, you are right."
"About the impending doom?" asked Timmy.
"Yep," nodded Wanda. "I had been dating Juandissimo for about twenty years… he got on my nerves, but I half did it to make Cougar jealous. I mean, there I was, with this extremely sexy fairy! And I did like that about him, too," she added with a chuckle. "It was kind of hard to keep up our relationship, however, because when we got different godchildren we were separated, so I only saw him around Christmas. I didn't really attempt to see him that much, really. But anyway, I was with my new godchild…"

"I wish I had a pony," said Wanda's goddaughter. Wanda smiled, waved her wand, and--
BOOM!
Jorgen made his trademark explosive entrance. "Fairy World, NOW!" he yelled, grabbing Wanda and pulling her with him, booming back to Fairy World.
Before Wanda could ask what was happening, Jorgen boomed off again. He did, after all, have a lot of fairies to gather. Wanda turned to a fairy next to her, who happened to be a girl she knew from her school days.
"Do you know what's going on?" asked Wanda.
The other fairy shrugged. "No idea. All I know is that we're having an emergency fairy meeting. I wonder what happened?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling of impending doom," said Wanda, feeling dread mounting in the pit of her stomach.
Finally, all the fairies were gathered. Jorgen spoke to all of them. "The reason I have called all you puny fairies together is that we have suffered the loss of a fairy while being a fairy godparent!"
Everyone gasped. Wanda looked stunned. A fairy had died? Fairies did die out, of course, but what was it about this one?
"He was killed by the irresponsible wish of a child! If this is to happen often, we must either prevent it from ever happening again or to give up our godparenting duties."
A buzz of debate rang through the meeting hall. Jorgen sent a huge blast out from his wand staff, silencing all of them.
"A few select fairies and I will debate this chain of events and decide what is to be done. Until then, all you puny, lazy fairies can stay here in Fairy World!" Jorgen and a few other select fairies poofed off.
The buzz of voices broke out again, most of them asking, "Who was it that died?" Wanda was one of them. As she flew around the room, looking for someone who knew, two fairies suddenly poofed onto the stage where Jorgen had just spoken. They were Cosmo and Mama Cosma.
"Mama, why did you take me away from the military academy?" asked Cosmo. "I was eating this really tasty hunk of cheese! And where's Dad?"
"Your father's DEAD!" cried Cosma. Cosmo shrunk a bit in shock and horror. "Because our godchild wished for a vicious dragon! And we had to grant it, and the dragon chewed up your father to little itty bitty pieces! I never want anything to do with godparenting again!" she cried, tears flowing from her eyes.
Wanda's jaw dropped. Pluto! Pluto had been the one who died! Wanda could feel tears spring up in her eyes, too, as she looked at Cosmo, still dumbstruck with the fact that his father was dead, and even when she looked at Mama Cosma. Wanda would never have thought that she could feel sorry for that woman, but she was right then. She had just lost her husband in a foolish accident. No wonder she was quitting godparenting!
***
Later that day, Wanda was talking with Sarah near their parents' house. Wanda was still dumbfounded. "I can't believe that Pluto was killed. Why couldn't it have been Cosma?" she muttered.
"Why does it always seem that the good die young?" asked Sarah. "And then people like Mama Cosma live on. I don't get it!"
"I actually feel sorry for her," said Wanda quietly. "I mean, she's a widower now. She must be really upset. But I feel even more sorry for Cosmo." Wanda looked up. "Where is he? I need to talk to him."
"Probably around here somewhere, but try getting a word in to him with his mother there," said Sarah, chuckling dryly. She turned her head. "Oh, there they are, over there. Good luck."
"She has to let me talk to Cosmo," said Wanda determinedly. "I'm his best friend!" She flew over to Cosmo. "Cosmo!"
Cosmo turned around. "Wanda! My dad's dead!"
"I know!" said Wanda, feeling the tears spring up in her eyes again. Cosmo hugged her.
"Don't cry, Wanda, it's not your dad that died, it's mine!" he said, crying into her shoulder.
"But I liked your dad!" said Wanda, hugging Cosmo back tightly. "He was such a nice, fun guy! And now I feel sorry for you and your mom."
Mama Cosma came flying up right at that moment. "YOU!" she yelled at Wanda. "Leave my little Cosmo-lolo alone right now!"
Wanda glared at Cosma. "As his best friend, I have every right to be here for him when he needs me!"
To make matters worse, guess who else flew up right then? It was Juandissimo Magnifico! He gasped in horror. "Wanda, my darling, are you cheating on me?"
Wanda pulled away from Cosmo, who was looking confused and somewhat hurt. "Juandissimo, Cosmo's had one of the worst days of his life, and since I'm his best friend, and he's mine, I was comforting him!"
"Yes, sure!" said Juandissimo angrily. "That's not what it looked like to me!"
Cosma grimaced at Wanda. "Go run off with your boyfriend now, Wanda," she said, pulling Cosmo away. "Come on, Cosmo!"
Cosmo reached his hand out in vain towards Wanda, but his mother pulled him away too fast. In an instant, both were gone. Wanda was left alone with Juandissimo.
"If you were any other girl, I'd dump you right now, but since you are almost as beautiful as me, I shall give you another chance," said Juandissimo. That was the last straw for Wanda.
"Don't bother dumping me, I'll dump you," said Wanda. Juandissimo's jaw dropped. Apparently, no one had ever dumped him before; he had always been the dumper. Wanda sighed and continued. "Look, Juan, I don't love you, and I never could. I'm tired of you caring way too much about yourself and your jealousy if I even talk to another guy. If you really did love me, I'm sorry, but… it just wouldn't work out!"
Juandissimo finally spoke. "But I am extremely sexy!" he finally said.
"Unlike you, I judge people on personality, not looks," said Wanda. She waved her wand and poofed back to her house.
Juandissimo fell to his knees on the ground. "NOOOOOOO! I am too sexy to be dumped!"
(AN: I forgot to say I found that picture of Cosmo! Yay! And I drew another really cute picture of Castle, making those other ones look like fat little worms. Anyway, thanks for the reviews. And sorry that I misspelled your name, Sara Dawson. I don't know if you care, but I know Saras and Sarahs alike that hate having their names misspelled. Also, sorry my Spanish is so bad--if you care, anyway. I'm also sorry that Juan wasn't in this for very long, but he's very hard to write in character. He might appear again. I'm not sure yet. And I'm sorry if this was too short, or too long, or if you hated it. Finally, I own nothing except the plot and the characters I made up. And that goes in effect for the whole story. I can stop writing the disclaimers now! YAY!)
