CrazyFairy- Awesome chapter! Gadzooks! This tot-a-ly ROCKS! I'm hooked!LMAO I don't mean to sound like an old person but that's the only exclamation I can think of! I read a whole book full of expressions OLD peoples use, and then...then I read another book with just random expressions and my favorite one was "the crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw." um, hey, I just thought of somethin! Wouldn't Caw be a great new character? And then the crows could be calling his name! sorry, I digress.
Anyways great, great story!Thank you!!!!! Lol, gadzooks. XD Yah, a character named "Caw"!!!! XD
A.Nonymous- If the last quote, "Maybe...just maybe something isn't right about this", is a foreshadowing, then I'm betting that this is somehow connected with Ray.Or maybe it's a hidden plot (one that'll be revealed later on). I'll just have to wait until then. See ya. Seriously, do you like, hack onto my computer or something. lol. oh gawsh, yessh, it's connected with Ray in a way. You'll have to see later on. :::Wink:::

Chapter Six: Thoughts to ThinkWanda stared at her window to view a place she hadn't viewed for a very long time. The window overlooked a leather-black sky with a couple of twinkling stars in it. Nights in Fairy World had, in her opinion, the most awing skies one will ever see. It was nights like this that made her want to think.
She leaned towards the windowpane, and pressed her palms against the glass and concentrated at the sky. What was this new responsibility to her anyway? A surreal reality with a taste of paradise, or a nightmare just awaiting to happen? Wanda knew, deep down, something obviously wasn't right. Sure, she's royalty, but being Queen wasn't something she felt was...her.
Wanda, fairy godparent, mother, wife, but Queen? No. That wasn't correct, it was wrong beyond all circumstances...but what could she do about it? It's not like she can have someone else have her position.
Wait, She thought, RAY CAN HAVE MY POSITION!!! YES!!! ALL I NEED TO DO IS TALK TO COURT ABOUT THIS!! YES!! She flew away from the windowpane, and looked around herself. She was in her new bedroom, and Cosmo was sleeping soundly with a soft snore. Wanda smiled, and quietly left the room. Ray lived in this castle as well, but on the far end. She took out a wand from her silky sun-yellow nightgown and poofed herself to Ray's room.
"Ray?" She asked and looked around. Ray was nowhere to be seen. Wanda shrugged and flew out of the room.
Wanda decided that she wanted to just look around the castle. She's been missing the castle for a while, and also because she was not yet sleepy. After a few minutes of floating around the residence, Wanda noticed a room. Most of the rooms had plain and brown wooden doors with a black doorknob attached it. The room in front of her had a golden double-door with silver doorknobs. The only other place she had seen a door with this was her own room, but her room had a crown on top of the doors.
I wonder what this room is, Wanda thought. She placed her hands on the doorknobs, and retracted them swiftly. It's so cold! I bet no one has been here forever. She breathed in slowly, put her hands on the knobs, and opened the doors. Hmmm, I could've just poofed myself in here. Oh well, doing things without magic could be fun.
She observed the room, and it appeared to a library of some sort. The room had shelves and stacks of books within it, and one marble coffee table.
Wanda stared at the table, and realized that there was a book there. She flew to the center of the library and sat herself in the red-leather armchair. Wait, Wanda thought, That's not a book... She picked up the "book". it's my old diary! The diary was of a pink color and had the word "diary" in yellow scribbled on its cover. She opened it and wasn't too excited what it contained.
It contained everything that a teenage fairy her age would probably write about –nothing. The diary only had some drawings and sketches, nothing too fancy. Except for one entry, which was the only thing that would be valuable in interest and information.
Dear Diary,
I'm tired of this. People pushing me around. It's horrible. I hate it so much. Dad and Mom don't understand me. They just DON'T. They never will. I hate all of this. The royalty and stuff. It's just so...horrible. I hate this, I hate everything!! And most of ALL, I HATE THEM!!!!!
If they REALLY loved me, then why must they torment me? Why most they reach into my heart, and rip it into pieces? I'm just a teenager, I'm not ready for anything they expect me to be ready for! I HATE THIS!!! I REALLY DO!!! I'm just so mad...It's so unexplainable. I feel so much angst...I feel so callous. I wish-
No...I can't wish...I can't use magic. I can't. Magic is evil...Everything is evil. Why am I a fairy anyway? What's so special about faeries? Sure, we can do magic.
Who am I kidding, I love magic. I'm sorry, diary, I'm just so mad...that's all. Really.
When I'm mad, I don't know what I'm saying. I'm going crazy, aren't I? That's all right...That's okay...I'll be fine...but what am I gonna do?!?!? I can't just...stay HERE. I gotta do something. I gotta take action.
I must leave this place. I just need time. All I need to do is sneak out. Wow, I've never felt so bad. I feel such bad things pulsing through my veins. Like I wanna destroy something...ANYTHING. Just about anything.
No, I can't do that...That's too evil. That's just icky...icky...with a...hmm, some letter. X? no... I? No...too obvious! Maybe a V, pfft, yah right.
Anyway, diary, I think I must be going. Maybe I should write that letter to Mommy and Daddy... No. Maybe not. Maybe I'll give it to them, no. Maybe not. No, not now. Not...ever...I'll just keep it in my diary. Ya' know, for future generations. So they can feeeelll the pain I'm going through. YES! That's right!! YES!! I shall leave the letter here. Within my diary....
Dear Mommy and Daddy,
I think...Just maybe... I need to leave you guys. I'M SORRY!!! I really am...or maybe I'm not. I dunno. I'm confused, I'm puzzled, heck, I'm confuzzled. I would really like to just let this whole...royalty thing continue. However, I am like a butterfly. Like all butterflies, we should be free. Free to fly, free to move on in life. Am I right?
Now, Mommy...Daddy...Listen, you'll always have Ray. So you won't be so lonely...when I leave. I'm gonna run away. Run away, and find a new home!! YES!!
I wish you the best. Really. I will love you always. I will love you lots. On my journey, I will make sure to write you postcards from wherever I chose to go. I promise I'll be with you in spirit. I also promise to make sure it remains in Fairy World, no where else. Unless I choose to become a godparent, maybe that's what I wanna be. I dunno..maybe..
Anyways, I'll miss you. I'll always have you in my heart, and hope you'll do the same. Tell Ray I love him, too. Best luck in life, Ray!! I hope you'll be O.K. without me, Mommy...Daddy...I love you.
--Wanda
P.S. I promise to meet cute boys, too!!!! Heh, just kidding.
Loves and Hugs,
Wanda
Wanda skimmed over and over at what she wrote. Her writing was just so... shallow, small-minded, and oblivious. Well, that was the crazy teenage me, and this is her now. Wanda paused at her thoughts. What exactly am I now? I'm...not a queen. I'm not supposed to be a Queen. I'm not. I'm a mother, wife, and fairy godparent. THAT'S ALL! She stood up from her chair, and marched out of the library.
"Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" A voice hollered from a distance.
"Who called my name!!" Wanda yelled back, and looked left and right. She wasn't sure where it came from, and she couldn't poof herself to a place she didn't know where she was supposed to go. "Hello!!"
"WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHNNNNDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
"I'm coming!!!!!!!!" She realized the voice was coming from the hallway where her room was. She poofed herself back to her room. "Cosmo?"
"Wanda? Phew!" Cosmo said, "I thought you'd never come ," She said, and came to his side. She snuggled up to him on the bed, "I'll always be there. I'd never leave my husband, who I adore and treasure. You're my honey, you're my sugar, you're my cherished prize!" She looked at Cosmo, and soon found he was snoring once again.
"I'd never leave you," Wanda whispered to herself, "I'd never leave anyone I love." She shifted her eyes to the side, and wondered what exactly she meant by that.
Tammy was running, running to a place she didn't understand. She just didn't understand, and she couldn't. She was unable to feel anything, the place she was in felt like air. It felt like nothing, the way you feel when you fall asleep. Actually, she was asleep, so technically that made sense.
"Help!" She yelled. She looked around, only to see she was surrounded by white. Pure white, blinding white. "Help me!"
She stopped running, and tried to sit herself down. She couldn't, the area around her didn't really exist. It was as if it was 1-dimensonal, even thinner than the feeling of air. "Somebody...Anybody...who cares."
"Tammy." Said a voice from a distance.
"Who's calling my name?" Tammy asked.
"Tammyyy."
"Cosmo? Wanda? Is that you?" The young girl hoped.
"No," The voice answered, "I'm neither of them."
Tammy scanned everything around her frantically, but she only saw an insipid white. "Who are you?"
"You don't want to know, you wouldn't care, and" The voice said sadly, "no one does. No one cares about me. Just like no one cares about you. We aren't cared about, Tammy."
"Yes I am." She argued strongly.
"Okay, so maybe you a bit," The voice agreed solemnly, "but there are two people that don't care about you."
"Yeah? Who?"
"Cosmo and Wanda."
"What? That's not true! I don't believe you!!" Tammy frowned and tried to just close her eyes.
"You know it is. That's why they left you, so they could just go off and play King and Queen. They left you and your brother. They don't really care, sure, maybe they did once. BUT NOW? Of course not!"
"They do care! I don't believe you!! Or whatever you are!! You're just a figment of my imagination!" She put her hands to ears, as if to block out whatever the thing was saying to her.
"FINE TAMMY!!!!!!!" The voice screamed loudly and angrily, "You can say whatever you want, but if you don't believe me, then that's just FINE! But they don't care Tammy!!! THEY JUST DON'T!!!!!!"
She felt herself falling, falling into a bottom less pit. Yet, it was not a bottomless pit. She fell straight back to consciousness and was in her bedroom. Tammy looked over to the digital clock; it read 3:00 AM. Tammy pushed her blanket off of her body, and walked to the fishbowl.
"Empty," Tammy whispered, "Just like my heart."
"Ahhh," Tommy muttered in feeble voice. He opened his eyes and look at his sister. "W-w-where's Cosmo and Wanda?"
"They're not here," Tammy said, "they're off in Fairy World. They're King and Queen, remember? Maybe they'll come back later. Why?"
"I-I...nothing." Tommy turned away and pulled the covers over his head.
"Tell me."
"I had a bad dream."
Tammy paused, and wondered if her brother had the same dream. "By any chance, were you surrounded by the color white, and did a really angry voice talk you?"
"Uh...yeah...and it talked to me about how Cosmo and Wanda didn't care and stuffs."
"Oh, well, it talked to me too."
"W-w-what do you think it means?"
"I'm not so sure," Tammy said, "but it's starting to make me think about Cosmo and Wanda."
The next morning was another working day for Mr. and Mrs. Turner. Tammy and Tommy were able to stay at home because, well, it was summer vacation. However, if the parents are at work and the kids are at home, that means one thing.
"Gooooodddd-byeeee Mr. and Mrs. Turrrneeerrr!!" Vickybot sang. "Have a woooonndddddeeerrrfffullllll day at work!!!"
"Good-bye, Vickybot!" The Turners replied and waved, "We love you Tommy and Tammy!"
Vickybot closed the door, and glared at the two children in front of it. It smiled deviously, and rubbed its metal claws together.
"Now, now, kidddddiessss, do you know what time it is?" Vickybot asked.
"8:00 A.M. on a fresh August morning?" The twins questioned in unison.
"ANDDDD THAT MEANS CHORES!!" It threw two buckets and two mops in front of them, "Sooooooo get a mopin'!"
Tammy and Tommy took their cleaning tools and walked themselves to the kitchen. When Vickybot was out of their sight, they put down the mops and buckets.
"Cosmo." Tammy whispered.
"Wanda." Tommy murmured.
They waited for a couple of minutes, and yet nothing happened.
"They're not here." Tommy said.
"I can't believe this, how busy can they be?" Tammy replied.
"Queen Wanda, King Cosmo, and Princess Venus!" Squeaked a fairy. She was dressed in a black business suit, had a pointy nose, and thick square-rimmed glasses.
"What now?" Venus whined, and sat herself in one of the chairs next to her parents. They were being talked to about their new responsibilities in the Business Room, for the 4th time that day.
"All three of you have to prepare a speech, present the speech, gain a royal wardrobe, and talk about any problems with Fairy Council and Fairy Court!" Yelled the fairy worriedly, "All in the next 6 hours!"
"That's not so bad, why are you worrying?" Asked Wanda.
"All of you have to write and present the speech! The speech has to thank the faeries of Fairy World for letting you be their Queen, King, and Princess! And you have hundreds and hundreds of clothes to look through! And you have about 1,457, 005 problems to work through!!"
"Wow! That's one of the biggest numbers I ever heard!" Cosmo exclaimed.
"Excuse us, Lydia," Wanda apologized, "I'm sorry, but we need some family time."
The fairy left the room as the three royal faeries started panicking on all of these new responsibilities. She closed the door and sighed.
"My name is Dana," The business fairy whispered, "couldn't even get it right."
Dana took a wand out of her pocket, and poofed herself to another room. She found herself in the library of the royal castle.
"Ray, come out...NOW." She growled.
"What?" The male fairy came out with a red towel around his waist, "I was taking a shower. Couldn't you wait until later?" I can't believe I'm dating this woman, Ray thought, I've been dating her secretly since we were teenagers. There's just something about her, I guess.
"No, and frankly, I don't care. Now, tell me honestly, Ray...did you, or did you not, hide any clues to them figuring this out?" He's such a moron, She thought, but I guess he's O.K. sometimes. Ah, but more importantly, can he keep the secret of that girl's parents...no one must know about them... Ray intruded her thoughts.
"Well," The red fairy looked behind him to a diary and an old newspaper, "I guess so."
"I'm working with idiots, all day, all night!" Dana threw her hands in the air, and circled around Ray. "Listen to me, and listen GOOD...we cannot have ANYONE but US know about this, okay?"
He nodded uneasily, and made a gulp sound in his throat. "Yes, Dana."
"That's more like it. Now, I want you to get rid of everything in this room that could be a clue. Okay?"
Ray nodded, and turned around. "Absolutely clear, Dana, clear like a crystal."
"Good, now get to work!" She ordered. "Oh, and, Ray...make sure to put a shirt and pants on. You look horrible half-naked." Dana swirled her wand, and she poofed out of the library.
Ray sighed to himself, and scanned the room. There were tons of things in the room that can give away their secret; he guessed he should start from the top shelf, 200 feet above him.
"I have to talk to you," Wanda whispered, "but we have to be very quiet. Anyone could hear." Venus and Cosmo nodded, and watched as the pink fairy paced back and forth. "Now, I'm not so sure how to say this...but the thing is...I'm not so sure that I want to be Qu-" Rapp-ity-rapp. Someone knocked on the door. in."
"Hello, hello. How's the progress going?" Dana asked and entered the room.
"Just fine, really," Wanda lied, "no trouble here at all."
"Well," Dana eyed the Queen, "if you say so. I'll be going now. If you need any help, I'll be around."
"Yes, thanks."
Dana bowed, and closed the door as she left the room.
"So...like...what were you sayin'?"Venus asked.
"Well, before I start," Wanda said, "I just want to know...what you all honestly think of being royal?"
"It's AWESOME!!!" Venus exclaimed, "Except for the fact about that speech, but I can always look on the Internet for some good quotes and stuff. There's also the problem about all those problems, but hey, I mean, like, those are you problems! Not mine!"
"Yeah! What she said!" Cosmo blurted.
Suddenly, Wanda and Cosmo unexpectedly had stinging in their stomach. It was their Tammy and Tommy senses, they were tingling!
"I feel tingling in places I'm not supposed to feel." Cosmo said in his famous stupid tone.
"Tammy and Tommy must need us," Wanda commented and looked at her daughter, "Venus, will you be okay be yourself?"
"Oh yeah, sure. No problem-o. You go see those twins," Venus replied with a smile, "I can handle myself."
With that, Wanda and Cosmo magically transported themselves to Tammy and Tommy back on Earth. As soon as they saw the twins, they let out a gasp of repulsion and distress, for they were covered in a deep-red pigment.
(Author's Note- CLIFFHANGER!!!! Sorta'.... Okay, I'm really proud of myself on this one. I made a pretty exciting chapter –I think, i could be being shallow again. XD - and it's pretty long compared to most of my other chapters. Comments? Questions? Flames? Go ahead, really. I 3 my reviewers!!! I mean, in a happy-friendship-way...not a creepy-love-stalker-way... ANYWAYS!!! That's all for now! See you in the next chappy!!!
ALSO:
What will be in the next chapter:
What's with Tammy and Tommy!
What's with Dana and Ray?
Wanda finds something very useful
That very useful something will lead to a side-journey of finding out a mystery.
