My lazybutt computer wouldn't let me post anything, but I've been hard at work writing the fanfic in my notebook before typing it on the motherboard. Be proud of me!!! ^_^ ........... ohyeah, here's the chappy.

~*~ Millenniums Gone By ~-*-~-*-~-*-~ Chapter 4

"Three years? As just 'best friends'? You've gotta be kidding... that's... illegal or sumthin'!" Sparkle said in a shocked tone to Cosmo and Wanda.

"No, it isn't..." Cosmo said. "Is it?"

"Of course not," Wanda answered frowning. "Don't you know ANYTHING?"

"Why do you have a problem with that now?"

"Mama, Daddy... can we have a turn to talk, please?" Sparkle said patiently and the couple sat back quietly. Rick looked at her oddly. 'How does she do it?' he wondered. He just smiled amused and proceeded with the talk.

"So, you two didn't go on a real date through that period," Rick stated and wrote it down.

"Uh-huh," Wanda and Cosmo both said.

"Never even thought about going on one?"

Wanda said "no," and Cosmo said "yes" simultaneously. They gazed at each other eyebrows raised, and smiled awkwardly before looking away. Wanda looked at her wristwatch again.

"It's only been ten minutes, Ma," Rick said. "Don't worry... we'll finish on time. Now, I'd like to hear what happened at the end of those three years." He held up his pencil and awaited his parents' story.

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

"Something wrong?" Cosmo asked Wanda seeing her sour face.

They were both at her home. Cosmo didn't know why he asked... he already knew something was not right. There was scattered luggage all over the house and Wanda has not been concentrating much at school. She looked up at him saddened.

"You know that we graduate today, right?" she said softly.

"Sure! At least, I'm not sure I will... oh wait-- I can't doubt! I had you as my tutor! There's no way I cannot pass!" he said hugging Wanda. Wanda smiled weakly. "And the greatest part is that you'll always be there to help me!"

Wanda's smile slowly disappeared.

"Y-yeah..... always..."

"Are you sure you're ok? Anything else to tell me?"

"... no, no. It's fine. I- I'll see you at school, 'kay?"

She just couldn't do it. And even though every single obvious sign that Wanda was moving on was barking at Cosmo ((that's my mom's expression ^^)), he couldn't see she was leaving. It would crush him... but he was going to find out eventually, duh.

~*~ THAT NIGHT ~*~

Every student of Magia High School in FairyWorld was present for the big celebration. They were all dressed up and ready for one of the most memorable days of their lives. In an explosion, Jorgen Von Strangle appeared before all the fairies. They cowered in fear behind their chairs.

"Everyone please find your seats, NOW!" Jorgen instructed and the students immediately sat back down. Jorgen continued.

"Welcome to The Magia High School Graduation Ceremony. Amazingly, you and your puny little selves have made it all the way here. I congratulate you. Now, I declare this notoriously short graduation ceremony officially over!" And with one more magical explosion, Jorgen Von Strangle disappeared from their sight. All fairies blinked... then got up and cheered.

Cosmo sat at the entrance of the school, grinning and telling everyone (even people he didn't know) who walked out of the school that he graduated. The last fairy to come out of the building was Wanda.

"Wanda! I graduated!!" he said to her like he told everyone else.

"That's fantastic, Cosmo! I told you you could do it if you just did your best!" she said beaming.

Looking at her smile, Cosmo swooned on the inside. He has been feeling that way for 2 and a ½ years now, and he has come to the conclusion... he liked her alot. He knew it, because not only he could feel it... the fact he would do just about anything for her proved it. She was intelligent, sweet - unless provoked - and patient with him.

He's been hiding it from her for quite awhile... he had to tell her that night.

They both spoke at the same time.

"I need to tell you something," they said. They both laughed.

"Mind if I say it first? It's very important," Wanda told him.

"Of course!" Cosmo piped.

Wanda exhaled sharply. "Listen... I... Cosmo, I have recieved a degree to Fairy Academy early. And to wait for my reservation, I need to go to a university that teaches my specialty subjects. We... can't go to the same school anymore."

Wanda was crushed. She feels that it hurt more than it could ever hurt Cosmo. She didn't want to leave yet... she wanted to stay with Cosmo, but then again, she wanted to go to Fairy Academy so bad. On the other hand, Wanda was also sensing that he was becoming more than a friend to her... she wanted to stay.

Oh, but then the parents interfere with it, saying that they want Wanda to leave as soon as possible. What could she do but to go with it?

"We won't see each other again?" Cosmo asked, still aghast about Wanda leaving.

"Not for awhile. I'm sorry, Cos... if you only knew how I feel right now..."

"Hey, come on. This is for the best, isn't it? You shouldn't worry about it now because... it's good for you." Cosmo didn't know what else to say. He felt uncomfortable and upset, but he couldn't let that show. He wanted to make her feel better.

"Aren't you... sad about this?" Wanda asked.

"Who wouldn't be?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Everyone likes you. You're smart and understanding and... other things that everyone likes. You know I'll miss you more than anyone."

Wanda smiled at this and hugged him one last time. They hugged until they felt that they were the only ones present in the whole world. When they let go, they smiled and Wanda left without another word.

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

"Oh, gosh... that's so sad!" Sparkle said, almost choking her toy unicorn.

"Can't stop there, though," Rick said. "Tell me about when you met again."

"Aren't you on a roll," Cosmo muttered. "How many pages did you write already? Are you going to publish this?"

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

Cosmo and Wanda tried to meet between the years, but they never got to. They never got to see each other for four years, in which at the end of it, they both signed up to go to Fairy Academy. Wanda was in the university for those four years and Cosmo was in his for 2, until he got kicked out of it with a low degree.

Cosmo was always one to see the bright side in almost anything. So, getting last rank in the Academy wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. Jorgen Von Strangle didn't give up on him... that is until the day was over.

By the time the first day's routine was done, and all the fairies were leaving to their dorms, Cosmo was out still cleaning bathoroms (and you should know why). When he finished, the grounds were almost empty with the exception of the teachers, assistants and a few students.

Cosmo thought he could make it to his room without disturbing nobody - just like he was instructed - and sped away. Turning a corner, he crashed onto someone else. They both fell to the ground in a heap.

"What's your problem?!" he heard a familiar voice say.
