Sooooooooo... I'm continuing, I guess. *grins broadly*

To Bella12: I have noticed that, of course... call me a lunatic, maybe. When I speak of the Eiffel Tower, it was only an art appreciated in Fairy World at that time. And if you see the episode 'This is your Wish', one of the fairy children produced a Vincent VanGogh painting... in the time of the dinosaurs. And Rick is actually more uptight than Wanda.

Now, I continue with my lunatic fanfic!

~*~ Millenniums Gone By ~-*-~-*-~-*-~ Chapter 3

"I guess we'll let my so-called narrator tell us everything, right?" Sparkle said and snatched the notebook away for her brother. "And it's still my turn..."

Rick rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say... I just want to hear the story."

~-*-~-*-~-*-~

"So it's very simple once you get the hang of it. Now, in this problem you-- Cosmo, are you listening?!" Wanda said to him.

"Huh? Y-yeah, I'm listening..." Cosmo said unenthusiastically.

"You're not making an effort, Cos! I'm doing all the work here! You have to listen if you want me to help you."

"Help me with what?"

"Oh, God... what have I gotten myself into?" she muttered to herself, burying her head in her hands.

Cosmo and Wanda's third study meeting. They would stay afterschool in an empty classroom to work, and it was safe to say that neither of them enjoyed it that much in their own way...

Cosmo was known for his lack of luck in high school, sort of explaining his poor social life, too. But just because his social life was poor, it didn't mean he had no friends at all... he did have one... erm, well, sorta. Wanda did hang around with him every once in awhile. But did it ever occur to him that it was because she was his tutor? That WOULD explain why she seemed to talk about work and nothing else, wouldn't it?

Wanda - on the other hand - was no dork, nor jock or popular. But strongly noticed, of course. She couldn't pass by a boy without hearing some kind of commotion behind her. Either some guy running into a wall or screaming after sharpening their own finger accidentaly while watching her go by. Of course she was pretty... pretty enough to cause big-shot jocks and even the popular boys to do a double-take. But Wanda often did not notice the undivided attention she got.

And she still despised being around Cosmo... he was loud, annoying, he couldn't pay attention at the right time and yet... she was still jealous of the love he received from his mother. But he still agreed on tutoring him. Maybe there could be a breakthrough for him someday... or for her.

She looked at the clock quickly and got up to leave.

"Sorry, but we ran out of time... AGAIN. Cosmo, do you really want to graduate?"

Cosmo nodded.

"You really have to concentrate on this," she said putting a hand on his shoulder. "As I said before, I can't help you if you don't make an effort... okay? I'll be seeing you tomorrow."

Cosmo sighed in frustration and disappointment. "Sure thing," he responded quietly.

He also got up and watched Wanda leave the room, rubbing the shoulder Wanda had touched. He had known who Wanda was for quite a long time, but now when around her... it was different. Very. Cosmo shook it off and picked up his homework fast. He knew she was right about him not working, so he ran after her hoping to make up the time somehow.

He *poofed* himself outside just in time to see Wanda about to leave the area. He flew towards Wanda so fast that he practically crashed onto her and they both fell in a heap.

"What's your problem?!" she said enraged, trying to get up.

"Sorry," was all Cosmo could say.

"Yeah well, watch where you're going, anyway." She turned to him. "Did you come to tell me something?"

"... yea. I need you... uh, that is... I need help from you. Do you think we can, um, try this again? I have to pass the next class or I won't make it feather. Please?"

"Feather? You mean 'further', right?"

"Yeah, what you said."

"Sorry; our time is up for today--"

"But I don't mean work in the school! How about your house or mine or somewhere else that is not a house or... somewhere else?" Cosmo was sweating fiercely. 'What am I doing?!' he thought to himself.

"I don't know," Wanda pondered. "It kinda sounds like--"

"A date?!" Cosmo began speaking rapidly. "It's not a date! It can't be a date because we wouldn't be having fun, right? Well, maybe you would be, but not me. And you don't even like me anyway, so don't be silly! It's not a date!"

There was an awkward 10-second silence until Wanda began laughing heartily and Cosmo joined in nervously.

"Actually, I was gonna say that it sounds like it would take up much of my time. I've got my own work too, ya know," she said seriously.

Cosmo looked away sadly, but Wanda continued.

"However, if you come to my home, I guess we can get the job done faster. And maybe separate time to get to know each other."

Cosmo beamed with excitement. Things were finally looking up in school matters and in his social life.

"So, it's a date?" Wanda said, extending her hand to him. Cosmo looked at it and back at her.

"It's not a date!"

"Hahaha! I know... I mean that if it's a deal?"

"Yes!" he said shaking her hand vigorously.

~-*-~-*-~-*-~

"You were flirting, Ma." Sparkle said with a giggle.

"I was not!" Wanda shot back blushing.

"Oh, yes you were..."

"Aww, fine. Maybe I was... but I couldn't help it! He was so cute! And he approached me, nonetheless. If he really did have a crush on me, he would have been hiding in the shadows like all the others."

Cosmo also blushed, knowing that at that time he DID have a crush on Wanda... even if it was just a little one.

"Boy this is more interesting than I thought it would be," Rick said to himself. He also wondered if this get-together was helping in any way. 'Ma does seem to smile every once in awhile now... but she still won't reason with dad,' he thought.

'But they still love each other, still... do they?"
