The 'What If' Story
Chapter 4 - Timmy, Timmy and Timmy
[Timmy whizzed through the time portal back to 3 years ago. He lands neatly in his hallway and jumps off his scooter. He parks it against a wall and peers around the corner - He sees himself holding Cosmo and Wanda.]
: To make it easier to tell which Timmy is which, The original Timmy (who is referred to in the opening paragraph) will be called 'Timmy 1', 7 year old Timmy will be called 'Past Timmy', and the Timmy with Cosmo and Wanda after he made the wish will be called 'Timmy 2'. Confused? So am I. Read this paragraph carefully, it does make sense eventually! :
Timmy 1: There I am! And there's Cosmo and Wanda! I gotta stop myself telling myself to stop Alex moving away!
[He runs around the corner.]
Timmy 1: Timmy! STOP!
Timmy 2: Timmy??
Wanda: Timmy?!
Cosmo: Cosmo!
Timmy 1: Timmy, dude! You can't stop Past Timmy from stopping Alex from going away! It all goes wrong!
Timmy 2: Huh?? What do you mean??!
Timmy 1: If you stop Alex now, then she becomes our babysitter back in the present! And because my parents....our parents....never hired Vicky, it means you...me....WE were never miserable enough to be assigned Cosmo and Wanda! So back in the present, you don't have Fairy God Parents!
Timmy 2: Oh my gosh! [to Cosmo and Wanda] Why didn't you guys tell me?
Wanda: Hey, I TRIED! But you interrupted me so -
Timmy 1: [interrupting Wanda] Yeah yeah...whatever. Just don't tell Timmy that he has to stop Alex going away!
Timmy 2: What's it like, with Alex?
Timmy 1: Terrible! Alex seems cool when we see her, but only because we rarely get to see each other! Most of the time she's just a normal teenager! Greasy, with acne! And she really likes chocolate...AND BOYS!
Timmy 2: Ewww! OK! You've convinced me!
Timmy 1: Good! So don't tell Timmy....me....you...Umm. WHOEVER HE IS! DON'T TELL TIMMY THAT ALEX IS GOING AWAY!
Past Timmy: Alex is going away?
[The two Timmys and the fairies turn to face Past Timmy, who has come up the stairs to use the bathroom.]
Timmy 1: Oops.
Past Timmy: Did I....Did he...just say, Alex is going away! Oh my gosh! I gotta stop her!
Timmy 1: No...wait!
Timmy 2: No. He didn't say 'Alex is going away'. He said, Alex is going to pay....
Past Timmy: Going to pay? For what? AND WHY ARE THERE 3 OF ME?!
Timmy 1: Well Alex is going to pay, she gave you....um....3 month old Mac'n'Cheese for your dinner, and now you're seeing things! For example...you're seeing you, but, two more of you!
Past Timmy: Well I assumed you were all from the future trying to warn me about something, but I guess I can go with that.
Timmy 2: Good! Cos it's the truth!
Past Timmy: ...But...HEY!...Alex didn't MAKE Mac'n'Cheese for dinner!
Timmy 1: Well.....um.....
Timmy 2: Exactly! That's how old it was! It didn't even LOOK like Mac'n'Cheese!
Past Timmy: (horrified) Oh my gosh!
Timmy 1: Yeah! Exactly!
Past Timmy: No, oh my gosh! Why is my overbite so bad??!
Timmy 1 and Timmy 2: (simultaneously) Man, I was one annoying kid....
[Past Timmy holds his temples, attempting to register everything that's going on. He looks suspiciously at Cosmo and Wanda]
Past Timmy: What's with the goldfish?
[Timmy 1 and 2 glance nervously at each other, then at their God Parents.]
Timmy 1: Um...Timmy? Wanna explain?
Timmy 2: I thought you could take this one, Timmy.
Wanda: I can explain that one!
Past Timmy: (horrified) THAT FISH JUST TALKED!
Timmy 1 and 2: (simultaneously) No it didn't!
Past Timmy: YES IT DID! I HEARD IT! IT DID! IT DID IT DID IT DID!
Timmy 2: Ummm no...[whispers to Wanda] What are you doing?!
Wanda: [whispers back] Trust me sweetie, I've been around longer than you have! I know what I'm doing!
Past Timmy: [To Wanda] What are you??
Wanda: You're so sick after Alex's cooking, you're seeing stuff that isn't really there! Like talking fish!
Cosmo: [poofing into his normal form] Yeah! And fairies!
Past Timmy: Wow....that must have been some OLD Mac'n'Cheese!
Timmy 1: Yeah! So go downstairs now, and forget this ever happened!
Past Timmy: But, I need the bathroom?
Timmy 2: No you don't, you just think you do, 'cos you're so sick!
Past Timmy: I can't be THAT sick!
Cosmo: FAIRIES!
Past Timmy: OK, OK! I believe you!
Cosmo: FAIRIES!
Past Timmy: I'm never eating Mac'n'Cheese EVER AGAIN!
[Past Timmy runs back downstairs. Everyone sighs with relief.]
Timmy 1: Mission accomplished! Great quick thinking, Timmy!
Timmy 2: Back at ya, Timmy!
Timmy 1: Can I just say, you are one handsome boy...
Timmy 2: Ohh...likewise!
Wanda: Can you two stop complimenting yourselves and get back to where we came from! Before we mess anything else up!
Timmy 1: Right!
[Timmy 1 and Timmy 2 run back to the scooters and push the buttons once more.]
Timmy 1: Wait, how can the two of us go back to the same place?
Timmy 2: It's just a dumb fanfic! Not like the author knows the rules of time travel!
Wanda: Come on Timmy, this isn't Donnie Darko! Don't get technical on us!
Timmy 1: Right, sorry! See you guys real soon!
[The time portal opens and sucks the two Timmys in. Travelling through time, only one Timmy remains. He pops out of another time travel.]
Timmy: I'm home!
[Looks around at his surroundings, there is nothing but dinosaurs and trees around him.]
Timmy: [sheepishly]Oops...pressed the wrong button!
[Jumps back on the scooter and tunes in the CORRECT time.]
Timmy: I just can't wait to get home!
