Chapter Three: Orphan

"Excuse me? "The magenta haired woman, Whinni she was called, had questioned over from the clearing of the lake. Cosmo's head jerked up suddenly. He stared at her a good few moments, until she decided to make her way over to him, her light steps were slightly hesitant but she continued nonetheless. Her seemingly sad eyes had made a slight turn around as her face held a more curious look, a childish look.

"Eh, what? "He stumbled over his words; her look was too innocent to give a straight answer. It strictly reminded him of when he had first met Wanda. She being quite a reserved girl, she was always poised like a lady and was very proper. It didn't take Cosmo long to poke out what she was truly like. And he had a feeling that this was going to be the same...for the fact that she looked like a mirror image of Wanda's teen self.

"I asked what you had said...something about me being...her? "She thought about her question for a few moments before plopping onto the grass by him. Her brows furrowed as she quickly sat up more proper and tucked her hands in her lap, instead of playing with her hair as she was doing at that moment.

' Yep, she's just like her. ' He thought to himself as he watched her smooth her dress. He smiled as she began to grit her teeth as she loosened her sweater that she presently wore, but the zipper was stuck on a lock of her long hair.

"Darn it! I need to stop wearing these things...or start pulling my hair back. "She grumbled, totally ignoring the fact that Cosmo was there. His smile widened as he pulled out his wand behind his back and thought to himself; a wish.

Suddenly, her sweater poofed and tore slightly right above her collar bone, the zipper snapping in half itself. Her lock of hair was freed instantly. Her eyes brightened and her hair was able to fully flip around her shoulders, but she then frowned at her sweater and then looked up at Cosmo.

"My sweater tore, I must have pulled too hard... "She said sadly, "My caretaker will not be happy with me. I have yet to learn how to sew... "She trailed off and looked to her sweater after she had removed it. Cosmo was surprised yet again as a small mark on her bare shoulder became seeable. She covered it instantly with her small hand.

"Ehehe, ignore that. I got it when I- "

"Young, a burn? " He interrupted and instantly wished he hadn't after he received a weird look from the teen. He scratched the back of his head.

"Lucky guess. " He added before she could ask. She lowered her eyes to his hidden hand. She narrowed her eyes soon after.

"What'cha got back there? Magic dust? "She asked childishly, her eyes glittered with mischievousness. Cosmo thought about stepping back, even running. Of course he realized soon after that he was still sitting within inches of this curious child.

"No...nothing. " He gasped out, automatically poofed his wand away and raised his hands back to the front, and he waved them rapidly. Whinni watched him quietly as he turned his gaze away from her own, she could tell he was embarrassed...or shy.

"So...why are you here? "Cosmo asked quietly, a quite unusual thing for him in past years. Whinni sighed; her hands shifted her sweater into her lap more and stared out at the pond that was forming from the heavy rains.

"I wanted to get away from everything. "Was her simple and blunt answer, she turned to face him, "What about you? "She added. Her nimble fingers touched his shoulder slightly to gain his attention.

"I guess I could say the same. Too many things on my mind I guess. "He replied. His green eyes were becoming clouded with thoughts. Whinni smiled and stood up from her spot, flattening her skirt once again.

"I see. I guess some people have a lot to think about. I never do. I don't have friends or family to remember...just the people I have started to live with. "Whinni said more to herself than Cosmo, but made sure he heard clearly. He looked up at her, confused.

"What about your parents? "He remembered about Wanda's parents, but was confused about her parents here. Did she even have any?

" I never knew them. I actually don't remember anything since about...2 months ago. I remember it was raining when I woke up in the middle of the park; the orphanage sister was standing over me in worry. She asked me many questions... "Whinni's eyes began to tear up as she talked,

"And I could not answer any of them. Who my parents were...where I was, who I was...Only later did I remember a familiar name, and the sister simply took it as an important person from back then, and named me after her. So now...I'm Whinni. " She looked up at the cloudy sky, her tears held back a little, but a couple managed to fall down her pale cheeks. Cosmo stood up; her disposition had changed once again, and was beginning to rattle him. Wanda had never had this bad of mood swings...Wait? Since when did he think she was even Wanda? Cosmo hit himself. He was acting rash, he wasn't even sure if this girl even was her, nor if she was any relation. He needed to snap back into reality, but he found it quite difficult.

' She's so much like her; it's hard to imagine these similarities aren't a coincidence. ' He thought to himself, focusing on her looks in particular. He remembered quite well Wanda's rebellious attitude after they had known each other for a while.

"Wanda? What did you do with your hair? "A quite young Cosmo asked his teen counterpart; Wanda. They were walking within the walls of the fairy academy, Wanda was holding her usually stack of textbooks and a satchel with notebooks and such bouncing leisurely off her hip. Next to her was Cosmo, who was carrying a single notebook, which looked quite worn out.

The two looked so different in comparison. Cosmo, who was a pretty up in the clouds guy was wearing white muscle shirt and relatively loose charcoal pants, his green hair was the same, but a few strands of hair hung in his face, giving him a punk look. Around his neck, was an untied necktie, a black one at that. He gazed over to Wanda, whose look changed slightly, but her round about look was no different than usual.

Wanda was a reserved girl, quiet and obedient in class, never spoke out of turn, and always wanted to be left alone. Yet despite that, Wanda was really popular with the boys, her soft magenta hair was always pulled back into a very loose ponytail and framing her small deep pink eyes were black-framed glasses; emo glasses were what the teens those days liked to call them. She always wore a simple dress of dark, unattractive colors. She always told Cosmo that they were her way of telling men to back off, though Cosmo was always there to point out that it never worked.

"What do you mean? I just colored a bit of it. That's all, what's the big deal? " Wanda spoke in a bored tone. What was the big deal, really? Her pink hair was down today and adorning the chin framing bangs were streaks of deep, almost blood like red and a nice balancing shade of blonde.

"Well...I dunno. Never mind. "Cosmo was beginning to be entranced by the girl next to him. He wished she would just open up to him. He knew that she wouldn't dye her hair because of popularity reasons, if anything, those highlights would attract attention instead of reflecting it. He even went to the line of thinking she was absolutely beautiful with her new hair. But he couldn't tell Wanda that. She'd obviously be creeped out. With that thought, he turned his gaze to the floor.

"You don't like it? "Of all the questions she could have asked, this one was a definite turn around for her usual. He stared at her in shock. Did she not think she looked pretty as most thought she did? Becoming greatly bashful, Cosmo absent-mindedly let a goofy grin form.

"Of...of course I do. "Cosmo turned away from her again, after catching himself stare at her again. He really had to stop that habit. Wanda smiled, and began to hum to herself.

"I'm glad. "She said quietly, suddenly beginning to walk ahead of Cosmo, her books clutched tightly to her chest and her throat was emitting a sweet-voiced hum. Cosmo blinked a couple times before registering what she meant.

' She...dyed it because of me? ' He thought to himself, but brushed off the idea. Wanda wasn't a guy-girl; she was a loner type of girl. Cosmo shook his head free of the blush that had appeared there, and he dashed after her before she could turn the corner.

"Well...I guess I should be going home, before the rain becomes worse..." She smiles slightly, "I am kind of...afraid of lightning. "She laughed in embarrassment, her hand held the torn sweater close to her chest. Cosmo stood just as Whinni did; he was suddenly wishing that he hadn't thrown the umbrella away. He could have easily casted a spell to make it where she couldn't see of hear the lightning or thunder. Then he could talk to her more. Cosmo sighed and pulled a small smile.

"I can walk you home. "He said hesitantly, thinking about how weird he just sounded, she must have been nervous at that moment. She stood in place for a short while, before turning back to him.

"Sure. "She whispered, her hand reaching for her mouth as she coughed harshly, " He he, I must be catching a cold. "She smiled again. Soon, they started walking through the park, right after they cleared the forest behind them. Not one word was spoken as Whinni stared at the cloudy sky and Cosmo found the sidewalk a more appealing thing to look at. It had seemed that rain had begun falling harder and lightning was crossing the sky followed by loud cracks of thunder. Each time this occurred, Whinni would wince and look down with her eyes clamped shut. Cosmo watched her as she repeated this process, his wonder of her ironic actions were very deep. Yet, it seemed that every time she would flinch and cower, her magenta eyes always brought her view to the sky again.

This continued for quite while, even after a while and the thunder came more frequently, Whinni had only moved a simple inch closer to Cosmo, if that. He smiled at her watered head, her gaze didn't catch his staring, and her pink hair was blocking her view of him. She looked quite beautiful, though she was shivering and wet. To Cosmo, it was just another reminder of how Wanda was in her youth, their youth.

"Well...we're here. "She stopped suddenly, in front of a very large, almost intimidating building. There was a sign at the front in the small sized lawn: Dimmsdale Orphanage. Cosmo stared at it for second, a little confused.

"You have no parents? "His blindness of the previous conversation was pulling into his head. She smiled sadly; her throat was almost tempted to laugh at his lack of memory. She shook her head, and Cosmo automatically froze in place.

"Oh...I'm sorry. I don't have a good memory. "Cosmo said, almost in a loud tone. Whinni smiled as she approached the large double doors.

"You need someone to file those thoughts of yours. You have so many things running through your head. "She turned away from him before adding, " I'll...see you around...sometime? "Cosmo looked directly at the back of her head, and obviously couldn't catch the blush on her cheeks.

"Sure, where would we meet...sometime? "Cosmo took the same pause as Whinni had before, his uncertainty of being able to meet her again was a little more bolder than the hope or happiness he used to carry.

"......... " Whinni paused, not a word spoken, until she turned around. Her pink eyes glowed with a new shine, her lips curving into a larger smile, " We'll meet in Fairy World. "Cosmo's eyes widened at her sentence, his fingers were twitching slightly.

' She couldn't know...how...? ' Cosmo watched as she tucked her torn sweater under her arms. Her smile only widened at his confusion and near terror.

"The forest, silly. It's filled with fairies, I can tell. "She said childishly, causing a wave of relief to run through Cosmo. So it was a metaphoric world, he saw the obviousness of her girlish antics. Yet, instead of sighing or wiping his forehead like he wanted, he locked eyes with her and smiled again.

"Deal, we'll meet in Fairy World, again. "He watched as Whinni gave one last goodbye before turning around and opening the door. Just before she walked in Cosmo gave a little wave himself, his right hand tucked in his back pants pocket securely. The large doors closed and Cosmo finally left the orphanage a few moments later. He figured Timmy would probably need to have some company, so he started to trudge home.

"Whinni, you're all wet, and shivering! Come inside dear, why were you out so late? " The orphanage sister shrieked in a motherly tone as she ran towards Whinni with a large blanket in hand. Whinni's smile was still gracing her lips, but she frowned as she remembered her sweater.

"I'm sorry, I think I tore my sweater today. I hope that you...can...sew it... " Whinni paused as she opened her sweater wide, trying to point out the hole.

"Dear, you must be running a fever. I don't see a hole in your sweater. "The sister said inquisitively, examining the pale rose colored sweater carefully. Whinni's eyes widened as she snatched the sweater back and hugged it to her chest.

"Thank you. "She whispered happily as she ran up to her room, her sweater once again hugged gently to her chest. She ignored the Sister's protests as she entered her near empty room upstairs, last room on the left. She nearly threw herself on her bed, but something out her back window caught her eye. She walked to the window and looked out to the thing that distracted her.

"Wow...so pretty. " She stared in awe at the woman who was just starting to walk away from the orphanage. She had long, flowing aqua hair that was pinned back by rose and black colored pearls. Her dress was black, but the dark green lace that wrapped around various places made her look like a dark princess. Whinni glanced for a second more before returning to her bed.

"Whinni, you need a bath, you're going to catch a cold! "She now heard the Sister say as she was knocking on Whinni's bedroom door. She set her sweater down and opened the door; her usual smile came back as she walked past the Sister.

"I know, I know, don't worry. "She slipped past the older woman and headed back down the hallway. The Sister closed the door to Whinni's room and followed after her. If Whinni would have stayed a moment longer in her room, she would have saw the mysterious woman look back to the window, her hand raised slightly. A small glow had formed around her hand and a simple gold star appeared inside Whinni's room, it fell quietly onto the pale rose sweater that sat alone in the now dark room.

"I found you, dear one. "
