The What If Story
Chapter 2 - Three Years Ago
...
Timmy: I wish Alex had never moved away!
[Wanda and Cosmo exchange concerned looks.]
Wanda: Timmy, are you sure this is what you want?
Cosmo: Remember Timmy, fiddling around in the past can dramatically change the future!
Timmy: No I got it all figured out! If Alex never moved away, then Vicky never would have been hired by my parents, and Alex would be my cool babysitter! And I would never have to miss her ever again!
Wanda: Yeah, but there's one VERY important thing your forgetting...
Timmy: [interrupting] This can't go wrong! I wish I had my time travelling scooter!
Wanda: OK...but I tried to warn you....
[Cosmo and Wanda poof in the magic scooter. Timmy hops on and presses the buttons.]
Timmy: Let's go back to three years ago!
[They're pulled into a swirling time travelling loophole and appear outside Timmy's house three years ago.]
Timmy: Hey! We're here!
[Timmy runs up to his house and peeks in the window, a seven year old Timmy is sitting next to a younger Alex, Timmy's parents and Alex's father are talking about something which present Timmy can't hear, but he knows what it is.]
Timmy: Oh my gosh! This is it! This is where her dad told us he was taking Alex on business trips with him! We gotta stop them! I wish I needed the bathroom!
[Cosmo waves his wand, making Timmy hop up and down.]
Timmy: No! Not me! HIM! [points to past Timmy.]
Cosmo: Being specific would be nice, you know!
[Wanda waves her wand and past Timmy jumps up from the sofa, rushing to the bathroom.]
Timmy: It worked! Let's go find him! Wait...first fix me!
Cosmo: Don't be so lazy, go behind a tree like every other guy!
[The fairies poof them inside by the bathroom.]
Timmy: Guys! Become fish! Past Timmy doesn't know you exsist yet!
[The fairies poof themselves into goldfish in their bowl, which is propped under Timmy's arm. At that moment, past Timmy comes running up the stairs and sees present Timmy.]
Past Timmy: AGGGHH! Who are you? I mean, you're me, but I'm me, so who are you? What's going on?
Timmy: I'm from the future.
Past Timmy: What?!
Timmy: The future! Is that so hard to believe?!
Past Timmy: WELL YEAH! But as I'm 7 and my imagination is starting to develop because I watch way too much TV, I can believe you.
Timmy: Just trust me! Alex's dad is about to make her move away with him, which means you'll only see her every few years!
Past Timmy: Oh my gosh! But who will take care of me?
Timmy: Well after she moves, your parents....no..my parents...OUR PARENTS! Hire a nasty babysitter called Vicky who makes your life HORRIBLE! She's icky with a V! You gotta stop them from moving! Or in 3 years time you'll be doing homework for an evil 16 year old and getting daily wedgies!
Past Timmy: Oh my gosh! Really?
Timmy: Yeah! Trust me!
Past Timmy: I don't want wedgies!
Timmy: Then help me!
Past Timmy: Stay here! I'll see what I can do!
[Past Timmy darts downstairs. He is heard crying and Alex is heard arguing with her dad. There's a lot of shouting and crying.]
Cosmo: Wow, sounds like MY family!
[Past Timmy rushes back upstairs a few minutes later, he's smiling.]
Past Timmy: TIMMY! I did it! I told them how much I loved Alex and she refused to go! They're not moving!
Timmy: Really?!
Past Timmy: Yeah! Thanks for the warning!
Timmy: That's OK, thanks for helping me out!
Past Timmy: I guess you can go back to wherever you came from. What's with the fish, anyway?
Timmy: (mysteriously) You'll find out one day...
Past Timmy: Can't you tell me now? And I can't believe how goofy my teeth get?
Timmy: Man, I was one annoying kid....
Past Timmy: Well nice talking to...myself...I need the bathroom now.
Timmy: Actually, I do.
Past Timmy: Hey! I was here first!
Timmy: I'm older!
[The Timmys push and shove each other attempting to get into the bathroom. A stern cough is heard from Wanda, reminding Timmy to get a move on!]
Past Timmy: Did your fish just cough?
Timmy: Um...yes.
Past Timmy: Is that like a future thing? Do fish cough in the future?
Timmy: Yeah, I'm willing to go with that.
[Timmy hops back on his scooter, Cosmo and Wanda under his arm.]
Timmy: Anyway! Back to the future!
[The scooter goes through the familiar loophole, back to the present. Timmy is soon back at his house. Fish still under his arm, he runs to his front door.]
Timmy: I'm home!
Mrs Turner: Timmy, your father and I will be going to our pig farming class now. Alex will be here in five minutes, just let her in!
Timmy: No Vicky?
Mrs Turner: Who's Vicky?
Timmy: Ohh, nobody! [to himself] It worked!
Mr: Turner: Bye Timmy!
[His parents leave the house. Cosmo and Wanda poof back into their normal selves, but both look very cautious.]
Timmy: Guys! I'M SO HAPPY!
[He hides the scooter in a nearby closet.]
Timmy: I'm so happy! Alex will always be with me. I can't wait 'til she's here. I wonder what cool facts she has to tell me!
Wanda: Wait a minute...no Vicky?
Timmy: (delighted) No Vicky!
Cosmo and Wanda: (horrified) NO VICKY?!
Wanda: Uh oh!
Cosmo: Oh my gosh!
Wanda: Timmy! I tried to warn you...
Timmy: (Confused) What?
[At that second, Cosmo disappears.]
Timmy: Hey, where did he go? Cosmo?
Wanda: Timmy, we love you!
Timmy: (confused) Wanda, what's happening?
[Wanda also disappears.]
Timmy: Where did...
[Timmy drops his fishbowl in horror as it dawns on him what's happened. He stares in disbelief.]
Timmy: Oh no! That's Wanda was trying to tell me! If Alex stayed, then Vicky would have never been hired, which meant I'd always be happy with Alex! If I was always happy, with a babysitter who actually cared about me, then that means....NO FAIRY GOD PARENTS! OH MY GOSH!
