Gosh, it's been awhile... sorry for the wait. I've been pretty busy lately
with the schoolwork and junk and I'm still getting used to having a puppy
around the house (his name's Nemo... I wanted to call him Cosmo, but my dad
said that was an ugly name *GRRR!*).
Plus, I've been having some odd FOP dreams. Wanda as a child turning Cosmo into a monkey... Timmy and Tootie dating... 70's Wanda dancing and 70's Cosmo singing to "Love Machine". ::shudder::
Anyway..... here you go.
~*~ Millenniums Gone By ~-*-~-*-~-*-~ Chapter 5
(Where we last left off): "What's your problem?!" said a familiar voice.
"Sorry," Cosmo said clutching his head. The voice echoed in his head and he stared at the ground wide-eyed when he realized... that was a girl's voice.
"Are you ok?" she asked concerned, looking at Cosmo's frozen expression.
She looked familiar, but Cosmo just couldn't put his wand on it. Like any other student, she had the academy uniform, of course. Her pink curls grow past her shoulders. She held out her hand to help Cosmo up, but he came to and stood up on his own.
"Well, I'm an administrator in the intermediate grounds here. Do you need help of any kind?" she asked.
Cosmo nodded yes, even though he had no idea what she was talking about.
"What can I help you with, then?"
Cosmo said nothing. He just stared at her.
"I said 'do you need help'?"
"No."
"Then how come you said you did?" she said starting to get annoyed.
". . . I don't know . . ."
The fairy girl scowled and turned away and headed to the exit. "You DO need help..." she muttered.
Cosmo then cringed. "Hold on... wait for it... it's all coming back to me now..." he grew wide-eyed once again when he realized now that that was--
"Wanda! It's you!" he cried out as he tackle-hugged her, cutting off her air supply. "I'm so glad to see you! I thought I would be stuck as a loser alone forever, but you here! You're okay and I'm okay, and now everything will go back to normal!!"
Wanda pushed him off, completely oblivious to what was happening. "--the heck?! Get off me! Who are you and how do you know my name?!"
"It's me!! Cosmo! And I should know your name 'cuz you were my best friend!"
"Cosmo?" Wanda smiled in joy and relief. She thought she was going to be killed. She hugged him back gingerly. "How'd you get here??"
"I turned from that hallway to the--"
"How did you get into such an advanced academy facility?" Wanda rephrased, pulling away from their embrace.
"I didn't... I just clean the toilets here."
Wanda looked away, trying to hide a laugh. "Oh, well sorry to hear that..." she whispered. But still, the thing about him even making it to Fairy Academy remained a mystery to her. 'Maybe his mother had something to do with it,' she thought to herself. But what did she care? Her best friend was back!
"Mama took me here. She said I volunteered to join. But . . . . . I don't remember volunteering to join the Academy..." Cosmo said.
"You know, I have no idea how you got qualified for this, but I am so glad you did." Wanda said with all honesty. Cosmo smiled at her warmly. "Well, I gotta get going," she continued turning to the exit again. "I need to get up early tomorrow. I have an important job to do. Meet me in the morning if you want. I'll be near the front desk-"
"I know, you're one of the academy amerimnators..." he said following her outside, "but I wanna to ask you something."
"Shoot."
"Well, uh-- *ahem* It's been awhile since we've hung out and I never really got to ask if-- I've wanted to know, if you and I could--"
"Yeah, of course we could!"
"Really?"
"Yes! We're best friends! We should definetely keep in touch more than ever!"
"No, not that. It's--"
"Love to talk, but I must dash," she said starting to talk to herself, "Many things to do tomorrow, you know. Need to do the drills as a student, help in the office, do whatever I have to do depending on Jorgen and of course I have that date."
"Ooh! Ask Jorgen if I'm allowed to clean the mess hall on Monkey Monday! 'Cuz there's bound to be lots of--" Cosmo stopped whatever he was doing. He rewinded his thoughts and recalled what Wanda said.
"... what date?" he asked softly.
Wanda looked at him, surprised. His voice was the same tone as the time Wanda told him she couldn't be her chemistry partner. It felt like a kick in the stomach, and she didn't even know why...
"I have a boyfriend, Cosmo," she said as cautiously as possible. "I've known him since we separated four years ago... it's Juandisimo, one of the team players back in Magia. Do you remember him?"
Yes, he did. Cosmo had seen him pass by every once in awhile at school. Juan has had his eye on Wanda for quite awhile, and it was so typical of him to wait for Cosmo and her to separate. Looks like he got what he wished for...
"Yes, I remember," he said solemnly.
"Then, I'll see you tomorrow. It was great seeing you again."
Wanda left. Cosmo stood there both confused and upset.
"I guess..." he replied as he headed to his dorm.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~-*-~
Rickstardo had almost forgotten that this was a therapy get-together. But he couldn't help but to be caught in his own parents' story. He nodded for them to continue, but Cosmo and Wanda just sighed.
"I don't want to talk about this..." Wanda said softly to her kids.
'I don't wanna hear about it, anyway...' Cosmo thought.
Rick and Sparkle looked at each other and back at their parents.
"Uhh, you don't have to, ma," Rick said. "What's important is that you tell us about you and dad. You don't have to drag anyone else in the story."

That's not much of a cliffy from the contemporary side of the story, but the next few lines are not 'end of chapter' material.
What will I write about next?! GASP!! I know what! But you have to wait to find out! ::shrugs:: Funny how that works, huh?
Until the Next Update!!!
