~*~ Millenniums Gone By ~-*-~-*-~-*-~ Chapter 7
Cosmo and Wanda haven't argued in awhile. They started warming up to each other again, somehow. Rick didn't know how, but he was just glad they were getting along. He didn't want to ruin the moment, so he suggested to his parents just to get straight to the point.
"Aww! But I wanna hear the whole story!" Sparkle whined.
"No. We don't have time for that," Rick said.
"How come?"
"Because! Now, please shut it and let's end this thing."
~-*-~-*-~-*-~-*-~
Fairy Academy was the most important phase in a godparent's life. It was their preparation grounds for what lies ahead in their work. A child could ask for anything at any given moment, as Jorgen once stated. You cannot be a godparent if you don't pass college AND the academy first. Got it? Huh? Do you got it already, huh?! Whether you said 'yes', 'shut up' or 'who cares... just get on with the story', the point is... is, um... oh, man... I forgot.
~-*-~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Sparkle!!" Rick bellowed.
"What?" she said innocently.
"You're not the narrator here! Just listen and--"
"AHA! You admit it!"
"Admit what?"
"You DO believe in narrators!!"
"I do not!"
~-*-~-*-~-*-~-*-~
Oh-kay...
Around five months after Cosmo and Wanda's reencounter in the academy, there was some kind of hubbub going on with Wanda and her family. Cosmo observed from a distance at Wanda and her mother talking... for the first time in quite awhile. Cosmo smiled and remembered that moment that she had said she wanted her mom to be just as caring as his.
Wanda's mom stood up and left in a hurry not long afterward. So Cosmo approached his friend. She was sitting on her doorstep and not exactly happy.
"That was your mom!" he said happily.
"Yeah, it was..." Wanda responded looking down.
"So now you 2 will be meeting again, will ya?"
Wanda shook her head and gazed at Cosmo.
"She's leaving."
"Where?"
"Just... leaving. I don't think any of us will be seeing her in a long while."
"Your dad's gone too?"
"Nah, they're... separating... for some time. I asked her if they were getting divorced or anything, but she didn't say. I'm not that close to her, however I feel terrible that everything is falling apart... again."
"Again?" Cosmo sat down beside her. "Why again?"
Wanda winced. "It's not about mom. It's... it's Juandisimo."
Cosmo almost laughed. He thought that name was horrendous. And whatever that was troubling Wanda could have been nothing at all.
"Don't tell me he left you..." Cosmo said with a chuckle.
Wanda laughed softly and looked at Cosmo.
"No, no. I uh-- I left him."
"Oh, you did?" he looked away; making sure Wanda didn't see him smile. But she grinned broadly.
"Don't try to hide it, Cos. I know that you had a thing for me..."
"Since when?" Cosmo turned to her, alarmed.
"Oh, please! You're not THAT hard to read. And you told me already! A week before the Magia graduation, remember?"
Cosmo's jaw dropped open. "But I thought you thought that I said--" he stopped when something else entered his mind. 'Wait a minute... does she have a thing for me?' he thought.
"Why'd you leave him?" he said instead.
"A few reasons, here and there. Mostly, it was my fault..." her eyes stared to get moist again, but she held it back. "I mean, what else was I going to say??"
"I don't understand," Cosmo said slowly. "But it's not like I understand much anyhow."
"Did you know that almost all of the boys in middle and high once had crushes on me?"
"Sure," he said shrugging. "I don't know why, 'cause there were many other prettier girls around like Nova and--"
"Watch it," Wanda scowled jokingly.
"Sorry."
"Well, I didn't know... until Juan told me. Cos, I hate to say this to you again - but my life is a wreck. Every morning I get up to do the job that I loathe. I go home to my loud-mouth brothers and my ignorant parents. I have these ongoing nightmares about my daily failures! And then suddenly, out of nowhere, this handsome and popular guy asks me if I could be his girlfriend."
She smiled again and continued:
"And I said yes! 'Yes'! What else was I gonna say?! I thought it was a miracle or something! Now, I feel horrible. But it did lead to something good."
"Oh, goody!" Cosmo said relieved. "I thought you were gonna get all depressed on me again. What was that thing?"
"I remembered that you used to like me. Please stop staring at me like that, Cosmo. I'm not exactly dumb."
"I know," he said.
"I don't know why you liked me... but whatever reason it was, it lit up my life. You are extremely caring and fun to be with. I care a lot about what you think and feel and I... really do love you."
Cosmo and Wanda grinned at gazed at each other again. There was a small silence between then while Cosmo was thinking (wow... can you believe it?).
"Hey, Wanda?"
"Yeah?"
"I have a question..."
"Uh-huh?"
"If we love each other, does that mean we're boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"That's usually the case, yes."
"So if we're boyfriend and girlfriend... we're gonna have to kiss sooner or later?" Cosmo blushed and scratched his head.
Wanda blushed also, but she merely shrugged. She didn't care... she had wanted to do that for the longest time.
"Well, that is if you want to. I mean, what's the point in doing it if you don't like it and stuff?"
"That's good enough for me..."
He pulled her close and kissed her. It lasted a few seconds, although the moment seemed like sweet, bliss eternity. They hugged each other tightly and they both sighed happily.
Yet another graduation will someday come to Fairy Academy. Cosmo wants to ask Wanda an important question that night... what do you suppose it is? ::grins artfully::
~-*-~-*-~-*-~-*-~
"Gosh, that was long ago, huh?" Cosmo said to Wanda.
"Yeah, it was," she responded. "And it was really fun from then on. I could have never asked for anything better."
"What do you learn at academy anyway, Ma?" Sparkle asked curiously.
"Many things. Basically, you have to know a little bit of everything. And we also did get to go to school the way human kids do. We had to be ready for anything."
"Cool! What kinda stuff did you learn in human school?"
"The usual... politics--"
"Which I flunked," Cosmo said.
"Math--"
"Which I flunked..."
"And distinguishing colors in plant-life. The roses are red, the violets are blue, the buttercups are yellow--"
"'And your blouse is, too!' Hahaha! You remembered that poem I gave you in first grade!"
Wanda rolled her eyes. She looked over at her children.
"Um, Rick? Sparkle? If you don't mind...?"
"Huh?" Rick stared at her for a moment, but then realized, "...oh!! Yeah, sure ma! Right away!" He got up and pulled Spark's arm. "Come on, Spark. Ma and Dad need to talk."
"Aww!" she whined. "But I wanna see them kiss!"
"Shh! Come on!"
Rick dragged his sister up the stairs and left their parents alone. Wanda looked out the window, not sure what to say first. Cosmo gave her a sideway glance and played with his fingers quietly.
"First off... I'm very, very sorry," Wanda started, avoiding eye contact. "Sorry for--"
"For yelling at me? For taking me too lightly? For not ever trying to stop our own fights?"
"You know, you could have stopped them, too. But you always have to place the blame on me, don't you?"
Cosmo was saddened. "You're doing it again... you really want to argue, don't you?"
"No! It's just-- it's that I don't-- I don't want to, Cosmo. But it just happens..."
"It's didn't use to before."
"I'm taking out my stress on you... and that was the wrong thing to do. I'm so sorry," she said, now looking straight at him.
Cosmo smiled warmly at her. "I'm sorry, too."
"This is probably because I work too much. Maybe I should take a rest on this... need some time to myself."
Wanda lay back on her couch and sighed. Rick and Spark really made an effort to change them. But they weren't going to change... however; the twins came up and helped Wanda comprehend her love for her husband. She hasn't found anyone else ever who could make her as content as she is.
She looked at him. "This is the part where you say what you should do to make things better," she teased.
"I know that I have to listen more offer..."
"'Often'."
"What you said. You make lots of good decisions that I don't listen to and... I get jealous of your 'friends' sometimes and--"
"Wuh-wuh-wait. Friends?! They're not my friends, Cosmo!" she said laughing.
"You talk to them..."
"It's a store! They have to ask for what they're looking for!"
"Yeah, yeah, I get it..." Cosmo looked down at her. She was leaning on the cushion and staring at the rooftop. He beamed and gently stroked her hair.
"I love you, Cos," Wanda said.
"I love you, too."
Letting their feeling out has really restored many things... and how glad they were both for that. Wanda lay back down and closed her eyes. Cosmo stayed beside her.
"Wanna be alone?" he whispered to her.
"Yes."
"Want me to stay here and keep you company while you're being alone?"
Wanda giggled softly.
"...yes." she responded quietly.
"Did you guys kiss already?" Sparkle cried out from upstairs.
"Leave 'em alone, Spark!" Rick shot back.
