Chapter Two: Whinni

" How is she? " Arefa, the Queen of Fairy World asks, walking into the dark chamber. Standing by a glass case, was Terra, her aqua hair tied in two ponytails. She was wearing a black dress with dark green ribbons tied in random places. Her deep magenta eyes were fixed on the girl in the case.

" She is dorment, that hasn't changed in three years. " Terra answers, " Did you find her human form yet? " Arefa nods walking up to Terra, she also gazes into the case at the sleeping girl.

" Yes, she has adapted fine, she is currently living in an orphanage of some sort..." Arefa trails off, sensing a tense feeling in Terra. Terra turns to her silently.

" Do you think this was a mistake then? " Terra asks quietly, her hands now placed on the top of the case. Arefa shakes her head in disagreement, causing Terra to look away in slight anger.

" I never thought this was a mistake, this was needed. You slept much longer than she will. " Arefa answers, but stops. She knew this was a tender topic for Terra. Terra closes her eyes slowly, her lips releasing a long breath.

" I slept for unknown centuries, but I know I was dormented right when my brother was born. I only saw him for two days before I was sentenced. " Terra murmurs, her dark green nails scratching on the glass lightly, yet not hard enough to make any noise. Arefa bits her lip, wishing she hadn't brought up the subject.

" Have you ever found you mother or brother? " Arefa decides to ask, looking at Terra. Terra nods, but a sad look adorns her eyes.

" I don't think it's a wise idea to communicate with either of them, I'll just watch over them and Wanda too...She was a dear one. " Terra's black tainted lips curve into a small smile. Arefa smiles as well.

" I shall watch over Wanda as well, you know that I only want you and the Fairy World to be safely secured. " Arefa says wisdomously, and recieves a nod from Terra. They both then look back into the case, where the pink haired girl lay. Her hands were laced together over her stomach. She wore a black dress with a slit on the right thigh and it also had near transparent yellow sleeves.

" She looks peaceful..." Terra mentions getting a better look at the serene girl. Arefa agrees, her hand clamping onto her planetary staff.

" That means her human form is peaceful, but maybe a bit sad. It's only a matter of time..." Arefa says, speaking as quietly as Terra had. She both only look as the girl, each not feeling the need to say anything more.



" But mom! I'm thirteen already, why can't I stay home by myself?! " A young teenager groans, sitting on the couch and watching his mom and dad at the front door. The parents smile painfully happy.

" Because Timmy, you are still too accident prone to be all by yourself. And besides, dear Vicky will keep you safe! " His mother chirps, just as the door opens and Vicky walks in, her pink eyes shone dully.

" Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, how lovely you both look. " Vicky says acidly. Her fake praise made both parents gleam in happiness.

" Why thank you Vicky, we have to look sharp for the Oven Convention. We'll be gone all night so make sure Timmy is good. " Timmy's father beams, as both parents leave, slamming the door behind them. Vicky rounds on Timmy, she only now being about a foot taller than him, her eyes easily met his. Timmy gulps to himself, taking a glance at the fishbowl by the table, and the single fish it it. The fish simply stared back at him with big, green eyes.

" Twerp- "

" Let me guess, go to my room? " Timmy says, turning back to Vicky and speaks before she could finish. Vicky glares, but does nothing else.

" Whatever, just don't bother me. " Vicky says sullenly, her hand clamping to her wrist tightly. Timmy doesn't take notice of this and shrugs. He grabs the fishbowl and trudges upstairs to his room.

" Vicky's been acting strangely lately. " Timmy says to himself when he enters the room, and sets the bowl on his small dresser. The fish suddenly disappears and a man appears, sitting on Timmy's bed.

" What do you mean, kiddo? " He asks, his hand reaching up to fix the small corwn donned on his head, but it floated a couple inches above his green hair.

" Well I've been hearing from Tootie that their mom's been getting violent... " Timmy notices his fairy godparent playing around with his long black tie. Timmy frowns slightly, but begins to laugh soon after.

" You really like being in an adult form, don't you Cosmo? "

" It doesn't restrict me from being out in the open. That's all. " Cosmo responds plainly, looking from his tie to Timmy. Timmy's smile dipped a few notches at the solid look his god parent's face. Timmy sulks, sitting himself on the floor. Cosmo notices this, and immediatly covers his tracks.

" Oh, don't worry bout me, Sport. go ahead and tell me what's bugging you. " Cosmo says, trying to pull a bright face. Timmy, believing the look, continues with his suspicions.

" Well, Chester, A.J. and I were talking with Tootie and she was telling us that her mom had begun to get rough and mean. She said it happened so suddenly, that it almost seemed like a demon possessed her or something. Tootie always thinks people are possessed now a days anyway, but I dunno about this one... " Timmy trails off as he sees Cosmo staring out the window. His green eyes bordered sadness, but he tried not to show his wanting to be outside in the rain, which had just begun falling. Timmy thinks to himself for a moment, before jumping on the bed next to his god parent, and he too began to stare out the window. They sat silent for a while, just staring at the trails of water tracing undetermined paths upon the glass window. The simple scene of two older boys staring out the window, to a world that had been somewhat depressing for them would have cracked the hardest of ice.

" I'm tired... " Timmy says quielty, his forehead pressing against the window in boredom. Cosmo simply sighs, not taking his eyes off the street below, where cars passed every now and then.

" You shouldn't have stayed up so late last night... "

" You shouldn't have let me stay up so late. " Timmy replies, throwing a amusing look to Cosmo, who was staring back at him with a small smile. Each one knew what this conversation was going to bring up, for they have had talks like this for a long time.

" She would have made sure neither of us would have been up too late, huh? " Timmy says hesitantly, not sure if he should bring up the topic. Cosmo just looks away, back out the window and nods. Yawning, Timmy slides off the bed and goes to his closet. Opening the door, he moves as a pile of junk crashes to the floor. He steps over it, like many times before and digs out an umbrella. He slams the door back shut after kicking all his stuff back in it. Timmy returns to the bedside and holds the umbrella in front of Cosmo. He glances at Timmy in surprise.

" Go ahead, I don't mind. "

" But, what if you need something...Or, or Vicky makes you do a chore? " Cosmo stutters, thinking he upset his god child because of his melancholy mood. Timmy looks down, shaking his head. He glances back up and has a smile on his face.

" I can take care of Vicky myself, and I can deal with you being gone an hour or two. Don't worry about it, just go. " Timmy replies, pushing the umbrella into Cosmo's hands. He can only nod, admiring the matureness of his god child.

" Thanks. " Is all he can manage to say, before Timmy ushers him towards the window. He nods Timmy's way, watching as he open the bedroom window. Timmy then holds his hands out, signaling his exit.

" No problem, Cosmo. " Timmy says before adding, " Just remember to transport somewhere where no one will be. " Cosmo agrees and is about to jump through the window. That is, until his forehead connected with window pane, making him stop short. Timmy winces slightly, before laughly lightly. Cosmo feels a tint of red reach his cheeks, but shrugs it off bashfully. Watching more carefully, Cosmo jumps out the window and disappears shortly after Timmy could see the rain wash over Cosmo. Timmy then closes the window and walks the the front of his bed, throwing himself onto it. Even more tired, he looks at the picture next to the empty fishbowl. The picture contained the three of them, even though now it was the two of them. Cosmo, himself and her. Timmy felt a wave of sadness fall upon, as he thought about the first days without her there. They were a wreck at first, but as Arefa said unbeknowest of either boy, they got used to it. but they never forgot about her.

' Darn. ' Timmy curses to himself, feeling guilty of not being able to speak her name without bringing tears to his eyes. He buries his head under his pillow, trying to drift to a deep slumber, so he could forget about the memories that haunted him.



" Why did he give a an umbrella? " Cosmo asks himself, appearing in the middle of an abandoned park in downtown Dimmsdale. He floats above the ground momentarily before landing softly on his feet. He takes a deep breath, smelling the fresh rain that poured around him and on him. His green hair began to mat to his forehead, but he didn't mind. That was the whole point of coming out here, to be at peace with himself, so getting a bit wet wasn't about to be his number one concern.

" Too bad about this place, it's so peaceful. " He says to himself as he gazes around the empty park. The playground was old and rusty, but he wasn't going to play on it anyway, so it didn't bother him. He turns his gaze to the forest nearby, the trees were green and lush, and almost reborn from the falling rain. He smiles as a drop of water runs down to the tip of his nose. He shakes it off before walking to the forest, and into it as soon as he got there. The leaves seem to come alive as the rain danced and jumped from leaf to leaf. Cosmo loved to think this way, it was an enchanting thing for him and his imagination. It made him think about certain things, and not about others. He comes to the clearing in the center of the forest, spotting the small pond, maybe even a lake in the center.

" Beautiful... " He whispers to himself, walking to the edge of the lake, watching as the cattails towards the middle sway with the small breeze that the wind gave. He stares for a while, until he notices an unfamiliar blur above him.

' What the- ?? ' His thoughts are cut off as his eyes widen at the sight before him. On the other side of the lake, only about fifteen to twenty feet away, sat a girl. She was indeed alone and looked like she had been there a while. Her head was bowed, but Cosmo could definatly see the light pink hair flow around her shoulders and some falling by her face.Her hair also had a few blonde streaks in them, along with even fewer red ones. Her legs were pulled up to her chest and arms wrapped tightly around them. Cosmo could feel a small pull in his chest as his breath came short just as her head raised, showing her dark magenta eyes. Her eyes met his and everything around Cosmo came to a halt. It felt to him like the rain had stopped pouring and the trees stopped wavering. Her eyes leaked sorrow and emptyness into his bright but melancholy ones.

" Who...are you? " Cosmo manages to whisper, hopefully loud enough for the girl to hear. She doesn't respond for a few moments. Cosmo is about to ask again, but she answers before he can.

" My name is...Whinni. " His eyes widen as a thought strikes him violently, making several unwanted memories come back as his eyes break from her sad gaze.

He notices a drop fall on his risen hands and notices the rain beginning to fall again. Or maybe the rain never stopped, but his mind had. He could hear the wind begin to howl once more, taking the trees and it's leaves with it's sad song. He glances up to the girl, who looked the slightest bit more relaxed and then back down to his hands again. He came to notice his hand weren't wet at all from the rain. They were being wettened with his own tears, that had begun to fall unnoticed. He falls to his knees, a single thought coming to his mind, beyond all the memories.

' I used to call...her that... '
