"Order! Order!" the judge was the same as when Timmy had been sued for making so many wishes to be popular, "Order in the court! For the case of Timmy Turner vs. The Fairy Godparent Assignment System! I call Timmy Turner first!" Timmy stood up.

"In Dimmsdale," he began, "there is a girl I like named Trixie Tang! On the outside she appears to be a happy, stuck-up, snobbish popularity queen. But in reality, it's quite different!" he played the tape recording and showed what he had caught on the video to the judge, jury, and other fairies in the court room. Everyone began sighing, crying, or going "aw" in sympathy, "In conclusion," Timmy said, "My point is...why the heck doesn't she have fairy godparents!?"

"THAT WOULD BE BECAUSE OF ME!" Jorgen von Strangle poofed in front of Timmy, shaking the whole courthouse.

"What?" Timmy asked.

"I have made an amendment to Da Rules as of five minutes ago! The amendment is as follows!" he pulled out Da Rules book and put on his glasses, "Any child who is rich, famous, and popular and acts stuck-up, snobbish, uncaring, and/or ungrateful to any unpopular child shall never be able to permanently obtain fairy godparents, especially not black-haired Asian girls who reside in Dimmsdale and act that way to little unpopular boys with silly pink hats!"

"Wow. That's an annoyingly specific amendment. But come on! Her mom's the one who makes her abandon all her boy stuff and natural rights just so she can stay popular!"

"But she still enjoys girlish things and popular things, and in some cases she sincerely means the things she says about unpopular kids!"

"So? Every kid in the world wants to be popular! Wait, am I one of the cases where she sincerely means the things she says?"

"Sometimes, sometimes not. Why, would you have backed down if I had said yes?" Timmy thought for a minute.

"No. Wait, why did you make that amendment anyway?"

"I don't like rich kids. And in any case, she will NOT be assigned permanent fairy godparents!"

"Wait," Timmy asked, "What do you mean by 'permanent?'"

"Fairy godparents are usually assigned to children between the ages of 8 and 12," Jorgen pulled out an age chart, "and unless their secret is revealed, the fairies stay with their godchildren until the child turns 18! That is considered a 'permanent assignment.' However, there are cases such as Trixie Tang where restrictions set down by Da Rules (or me!) prevent them from having a permanent assignment!"

"Is there a temporary assignment or something?"

"NO!" Jorgen boomed, "But there is the loan policy!"

"Loan policy?" Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy all asked together. Jorgen poofed up two contracts, one short, one long.

"It comes in two packages," he stated, "Standard, and Jorgen!"

"Jorgen? You mean 'Specialised?'"

"It's larger, more powerful, and more effective, like me, so I get to name it after myself! Do you have a problem with that?!" he aimed his wand at Timmy.

"Uh..."

"GOOD! Now, if a child with fairy godparents knows that a kid is miserable but cannot get a permanent assignment, they can lend their fairies to the miserable child! The standard package gives them one six-month long contract, and the Jorgen package," he got a grin, "gives them a six-month and one-month package by default, and the option of one to twelve addition month-long packages! Both are free of charge! With these contracts, you could let Trixie Tang have your godparents for up to 19 months! But they are her fairy godparents during that time, and can't make wishes for you!" he threw Timmy the contracts, which crushed him. When he had got out from under them, he looked them over. Here was his chance. He could do something nice for Trixie! But it also meant that he would have to give up his fairies for a while.

"Would I be able to remember Cosmo and Wanda and have wishes they've already made for me still be in effect?" he asked.

"Yes..." Jorgen answered.

"Could I just loan her one of my fairies?"

"ALL OR NONE!"

"Then...Cosmo, Wanda, I wish that for the next six months my parents wouldn't go out as much, and every time they did, Vicky was sick so I could stay over at Chester, AJ, Elmer, or Sanjay's!"

"Timmy," Wanda asked, "Does that mean you're..."

"Yes. Jorgen, I'll take the Jorgen package! Saying that does not sound right," Cosmo and Wanda granted Timmy the wish and Timmy signed the six- month contract. Cosmo and Wanda had to sign it, Jorgen had to sign it, and the judge approved it.

"One last thing!" Jorgen shouted, "Your fairies cannot reveal that they are your godparents! If they do, Trixie Tang will lose all memories of fairy godparents, all wishes she has made will be cancelled, she shall never be able to be loaned fairy godparents again, and no magic in the world, other than a fairy-versary muffin (this last thing he said so quietly no one could hear him) CAN EVER CHANGE IT! If she wants to find that out, she'll have to do it herself!"

"Right," Wanda nodded, "When do we leave?"

"NOW!"

"Can we have a few words with Timmy before we go?"

"Very well!"

"Timmy, are you sure you want to..." Wanda started.

"Yeah, I'm sure," Timmy sighed, "that wish will keep Vicky away, and since you guys won't be around and Crocker won't ever suspect Trixie of having fairies I don't have to worry about him. Besides, Trixie really needs you guys. I'm sure you'll have fun with her."

"But we'll miss you!"

I'll miss you too," Timmy said, "but it's not forever! Just for six months!"

"ENOUGH!" Jorgen zapped Timmy back to his house, "Now go, and meet your temporary new assignment!" the puny fairies quickly poofed off to meet Trixie.

Trixie was still slightly sobbing when Cosmo and Wanda showed up in her bedroom. She didn't notice them yet, since her head was buried under her pillows and sheets.

"I don't know, Wanda," Cosmo said, "she may be miserable, but we've seen plenty of times at school where she's honestly being a heartless, stuck-up witch!"

"And we both know that she's a slave to popularity and has an over-bearing mother, which prevents her from expressing her sensitive, tomboyish, nice side in an appropriate manner!" Wanda floated over to Trixie, "There, there," she said soothingly, "just relax. Everything will be fine," Trixie stopped and got out from under her sheets. She stared at Wanda in shock and awe, too nervous to give even a little screech.

"Wha...where...who are you?" she stammered, backing away.

"I'm Cosmo!" Cosmo flew up cheerfully.

"And I'm Wanda!"

"And we're" they said together, "your fairy godparents!" the flashing sign appeared behind them. Trixie just stared for a minute.

"SECUR..." she started to say, but Wanda raised her wand and a gag wrapped around Trixie's mouth.

"If anyone finds out we exist," Wanda warned, "then we have to go away forever!" the gag disappeared.

"That was...magic?" Trixie gasped. She stared at Cosmo and Wanda again, and then remembered Mr. Crocker, "he was right....fairies DO exist!"

"You mean Mr. Crocker?" Cosmo laughed, "Ah yeah, we know all about him! Our normal godchild T..." Cosmo's mouth closed like a zipper. Literally!

"Remember," Wanda muttered, "we aren't allowed to tell her about you-know- who!"

"Who?" Cosmo asked once the zipper was gone. Trixie just sat on her bed, confused.

"Oh, sorry Trixie," Wanda said, "we forgot to explain some things. You see, fairy godparents are only assigned to children who are miserable and in need of help!"

"But thanks to our overbearing big-chinned fairy dictator Jorgen von Strangle, you can't get fairies of your own legally!"

"Our godkid found out about you and your mother, and..."

"What!? How did he find that out!? He's not going to tell anyone, is he? My mom would kill me if my friends found out about that!"

"No, he's not going to tell anyone," Wanda assured her, "but he did feel sorry for you, and signed a contract letting us be your godparents for six months! And he'll probably also sign all 13 one-month contracts!"

"Wow," Trixie smiled, "that was so sweet of him! Who is he? I'd really like to thank him!"

"And I'm sure he'd appreciate that," Wanda smiled back, "but we're not allowed to tell you who he is. If we do, your memory of us is erased, any wishes we've granted you are cancelled, no one can loan you their fairies ever again, and no magic can ever change it!"

"Why?"

"No idea. But if you figure out who it is on your own, then it's OK!"

"Then I'll have to do that, won't I?" Trixie stood up out of her bed, "So you guys can grant me any wishes I want?"

"As long as it doesn't interfere with Da Rules!" Cosmo held up the rulebook.

"Since your parents and security can't find out about us, we'll need to be in disguise," Wanda said, "if you could have any pet, what would it be?" Trixie thought for a moment.

"Cats!" she said. Cosmo and Wanda turned into cats. Wanda looked like a nice, tame, rich person's cat; Cosmo looked like a stray.

"He's stupid, isn't he?" Trixie asked Wanda in a whisper about Cosmo.

"You have no idea," someone knocked at the door. Trixie knew it was her mom; no one else knocked to the tune of classical music. She jumped on her bed while Cosmo and Wanda walked over to one of the bed's legs.

"Now Trixie," her mom walked in the door and saw the pink and green cats, "Good heavens! How did those animals get in here, Trixie?" she saw an open window and shut it, "SECURITY! Take these animals out!"

"No, mom!" Trixie got out of bed again, "They're clean, tame, and well- bred! Look!" she pointed at the pink cat, who was sleeping quietly. The green cat, on the other hand, was running away from the security and tearing up the carpet with its claws.

"Well..." Trixie's mom thought it over, "you may keep the pink one, but that other one is going out!"

"Wait," Trixie thought of something, "if you keep the green one, the two can have kittens together! Then if we bring them up properly you can enter them in those high-class cat-breeding contests and win more blue ribbons to show off to other rich moms!"

"What a brilliant idea," her mom smiled, "You see Trixie? You're beginning to think more like a Tang now! A lack of those filthy habits and good upbringing really pay off in the long run!"

"Yeah," Trixie faked a smile, "Sure mom. So what did you want to talk about?"

"I was going to talk to you about all that comic book nonsense, but it seems you've finally grown beyond that! I'll leave you with your new pets. Dinner will be ready at 6:30," her mom and security walked out of the room. Cosmo finally calmed down.

"That was close!" he said, and then noticed he had gotten himself entangled within all the carpet he had ripped up. His attempts to get lose only made him get tangled up even more.

"Hey Wanda," Trixie asked, "How come I'm not allowed to get my own fairy godparents?"

"Well," Wanda opened the rulebook, "It says here in Section 1, Amendment 23; 'Any child who is rich, famous, and popular and acts stuck-up, snobbish, uncaring, and/or ungrateful to any unpopular child shall never be able to permanently obtain fairy godparents, especially not black-haired Asian girls who reside in Dimmsdale and act that way to little unpopular boys with silly pink hats.' Jorgen von Strangle is the toughest fairy in the universe, so he can do whatever he feels like. And he did this because he doesn't like rich kids."

"Oh," Trixie re-read the rule and started to feel pretty rotten.

"Trixie? What's wrong?"

"Well...I do like being popular and rich and some girl stuff, but I'd really like being able to do boy stuff and make friends with people who accept that I like girl stuff and boy stuff! But my mom's so determined to make me into the perfect popularity queen that I think sometimes I am a perfect popularity queen. A lot of times I just put down unpopular kids just so my mom won't go crazy, but sometimes I mean it. And I don't like that. Here I am, the most popular girl in Dimmsdale, and I read comic books! I have no room to talk about doing unpopular things! But I just can't help it. Maybe I don't deserve having you guys as my temporary godparents either."

"Oh, don't be so hard on yourself, Trixie!" Wanda changed back to normal, "Every kid acts like that at some point! Now, you want to get started on wishes?"

"Sure!" Trixie smiled, "Let's see, where to begin...I wish that all my stuff that my mom threw out today was back and stored in a special safe that only I can open!"

"Wow," Cosmo was still trapped, "she thinks her wishes out a lot more clearly than T..." his mouth became a zipper again, and Wanda granted the wish. A large safe appeared, and all of the things that Trixie had and her mom had thrown out earlier filled it up. The door to the safe was closed and it floated to the open closet, where it would be stored.

"Thanks!" Trixie checked her clock, "There's enough time for me to sneak out in disguise to get to the comic store before dinner. I wish that when I go out in disguise, you two were my watches, and when I'm at school or with my friends you two were my bracelets!" first Wanda raised her wand and Trixie was in her disguise for going out to get comics, and then she granted the wish.

"Yay!" Cosmo shouted when he became a watch, "I'm free!" Trixie then opened the window, climbed down the tree, and headed off to the comics store.

---

After getting back from the store, having dinner, doing homework and chatting with Veronica, Trixie, Cosmo, and Wanda spent the rest of the evening in her room getting to know one another. By 10:00, she was crying from laughing so much after hearing about all of Cosmo's mishaps.

"Trixie!" her dad called, "Time to go to bed!"

"'K!" she settled down, "You guys are great! Your normal godchild must really love you a lot!"

"Yes, he does," Wanda said.

"Which reminds me. Starting tomorrow I'm going to have to start trying to figure out who your real godchild is so I can thank him!

"Trixie..." her dad called again.

"I'd better get ready for bed now," she left the room.

"You see Cosmo," Wanda said, "Trixie's not such a bad kid! I think Timmy was right; we'll have a great time being her temporary godparents!" Wanda had thought this all along, but she had to admit she had her doubts when they first showed up. Now she was positive they'd have a great time.

"Yeah!" Cosmo said, "And you said that she was a heartless, stuck-up witch!" Wanda rolled her eyes at that.
