(Welcome back everyone! I'm glad to see you guys are loving that last chapter. One little note...I never realized how much the person in the tree was like Channel Chasers until after I wrote it and posted it. It just seemed good for what is going to happen. Let it be known now that there is nothing from the future visiting them or that kind of stuff. I'm not really good at those time travel type stories, so this isn't going to morph into one. Anyway, here are the shout outs for this chapter...
Kay-T-Person: Yes, I agree that you are confusing. Don't worry, my brain won't die and the story will be finished.
Faeriefan: I love being told that it rocks out loud. That's a funny phrase to me.
Tdcfdtl: You'll just have to find out in the later chapters.
Azurice: I like that it didn't have any boring-ness. Also if you would like to do fan art, by all means.
Gennie Kags and Sess's Child: I didn't know that it was that funny. That would suck not being able to use Cosmo and Wanda anymore. Poor Timmy.
PPTeenBubbles: I would love to work for the show. The only thing in my way is that I need to get through college and I live far from the studio's that create it. Maybe it'll happen someday. Butch Hartman...if you see this, call me! I love you man!
Sara and her Pinkys: I hope you had an awesome vacation!
k-chan28: I got that line from a roommate that use to talk in her sleep. She really said that!
Nonymous: No, Tiffany Brittany isn't related to the Brittany Brittany. I'm just playing off of the fact that those kinds of acts are practically the same. Yes, Timmy knows that the twins are his kids. He can remember everything about his adult life. I'm not going to tell you who was in the tree until later though.
Saiya Woods: Ham? That's the most different guess I've heard so far.
Netbug009: I have watched many episodes to try and get the characters down. It's harder then it seems.
WrItErKaT322: You got your wish, here's the update!
PTchan: Nope, still not telling who was in the tree.
Telekinetic Raven: If you read the message above, that should answer a lot. Besides, I don't see younger Timmy preventing older Timmy from marrying Tootie. It just seems right.
Carebear1: Got nothing to say here since that's me!
I love you guys so much! I have also opened a site for the fan art that I have received. Just click on my name and you'll find the link. Also, just to let you know, anything in italics is what Timmy is thinking. Now, on with the show!)
The three climbed the stairs onto the bus just as the door was beginning to swing shut. They could feel the eyes of their peers as they stood by where the driver sat.
"Hey Tom and Tam!" Leo the bus driver greeted them. He had been the driver since they were in kindergarten. His eyes then fell on Timmy. "Who's the new guy?"
"Oh, this is..." Tammy started. She didn't know what to say. She couldn't tell him that this was their dad shrunken down into a ten year old. Suddenly, Tommy pushed her aside.
"It's our cousin from Canada!" Tommy blurted out. Both Tammy and Timmy looked at him. It sounded exactly like something Cosmo would say.
"Canada? Why did he think of Canada?" Timmy thought, looking at his only son with a funny eye.
"Works for me! Head on back, I gotta get this thing to the school on time." Leo smiled. The twins forced a smile and started to their seats, Timmy being pulled along. Allegra waved to them from a seat in the middle. She and Chip were always on the bus long before the twins were. The three parked themselves in the seat behind them. Allegra poked her head around the corner and Chip looked over the seat.
"Hey guys! Guessing your dad didn't turn around and come back this time?" Chip asked, flipping a coin up into the air. Tommy reached up and snatched it away in mid toss.
"Nope, not this time." He answered. He couldn't just tell his best friend what happened either. Sure, Chip was a bit dim most of the time but even he would start to question how a kid could turn a parent into a kid again. In the meantime, Allegra had noticed the newcomer to their little group. She kept glancing from Timmy to Tommy, as if trying to bring a connection without asking anything.
"Uh, Tammy? You guys didn't sprout a triplet last night, or even discover what Daddy made in his lab after a guys poker night, did you?" she whispered. Tammy just scoffed at her. Although, the triplet thing could have worked, seeing that her brother and her dad looked so similar. If only he had been de-aged another two years, it would have been perfect.
"No, we don't have a triplet and I don't want to know what your dad is doing. This is our cousin from Canada." Tammy explained.
"Note to self, switch poker nights from Aj's house to my house." Timmy said to himself after hearing Allegra's last comment.
"Oh! I didn't know you had a cousin. I mean, your dad was an only child and I don't think your Aunt Icky with a v spawned yet." Allegra said cheerfully. The twins looked at each other nervously.
"It's a distant one." Tommy answered without thinking. Just then, Timmy realized that it was another time for some acting. When he was ten, he hated Vicky with a passion. Then again, he still hates her now. Yet at the younger age, he didn't really like her little sister as well. The little sister that he married about twelve years later.
"Aunt Vicky?" Timmy asked them in horror.
"Guys, can you leave us for a minute? We need to clear some thing up for our cousin before we get to school. We don't want him to get confused." Tommy said, a little bit of sweat coming down his face. Both of them hoped that it was enough to draw attention from them.
"Okay, we'll talk when we get to school." Chip said as he turned back around, but not before stealing the coin back from Tommy. Allegra also pulled her head away, giving the three some limited privacy.
"Yes, our aunt is evil Vicky." Tammy said up her breath at him. At that moment, Cosmo and Wanda poofed in. Of course, they were in their usual disguises.
"Ha! I'd hate to see the sucker that married into that family! The only other sister she had was that creepy, psycho Tootie." Timmy said sarcastically. "Oh boy, she is going to kill me if she ever found out I said that."
"Um...see...that's the thing." Tommy tried to get out gently. Timmy's eyes when wide.
"Wait a second. Tammy looks a lot like Tootie. If she looks like her, Tommy looks like me, you're twins, and I'm just an adult in a kid's body for the day...AHHHHH!" He screamed. Tammy clapped a hand over his mouth as the whole bus looked over at him.
"Wow, he took that better then I thought he would!" Cosmo spoke up from Tommy's wrist. Tammy took her hand away from his mouth.
"Oh yuck! He licked me!" Tammy said, wiping her hand on Timmy's shirt.
"I can't be married to Tootie! I was suppose to be with Trixie Tang after she figured out how cool I really was. Oh, my head hurts." Timmy said, holding onto the sides of his head. "I deserve an acting award for this. This is just too easy."
"Trixie Tang? You liked Tony's mom? Ew!" Tommy said, completely grossed out at this point.
"I think you two better stop with the surprises. Timmy looks like he's about to explode from them." Wanda piped up. Just then, the bus came to a halt and the doors swung open. Everyone's attention turned to the kid getting on. The twin's shuddered when they saw it was Tony and Verty. They both lived in the rich neighborhood, but didn't have drivers like Todd and Chet. The aisle in the bus was suddenly transformed into a red carpet runway for there journey to the back of the bus. All of the popular kids always sat back there. Any unpopular child was forbidden from entering that sacred ground. This meant that the twins had never set foot there. Timmy watched the two pass with certain awe. Things hadn't changed much in the twenty years since he had ridden the bus. As the boy and girl got behind them, Tony turned and threw a paper ball at the twin's. It hit Tommy right between the eyes.
"Yipe!" Tommy let out, rubbing the spot it hit. Timmy could feel a flash of anger inside of him.
"When I get back to normal, I am so giving that one an F-. That'll show him to pick on my kids!" He thought heatedly. He swore that if anyone looked at him right then, there would be flames in his eyes.
"I wish they would make it such a spectacle whenever they get on. After kindergarten, it got kind of old." Tammy sighed. Timmy shook his head and came out of his parental state.
"How were those guys?" he asked as the bus started to move once again. Tommy and Tammy open their mouths to answer, but were greeted with Allegra and Chip again.
"That's Tony and Verty. They are the most popular kids in Dimmsdale Elementary. They even get to hang out with 5th graders like you!" Chip said with his usual enthusiasm. So enthusiastic even that he forgot to hold onto the back of the seat and went flying backwards.
"Verty? What kind of name is Verty?" Timmy asked, laughing a bit. Although, the girls blonde hair and cheerleading outfit sort of answered the question.
"Her real name is Vertiga. No idea where they came up with that one, but her mom wanted her to have a V name like her." Tammy explained. They all gave a lurch as the bus went over a bump.
"Hey, it's no stranger then Timantha!" Chip busted out laughing. Tammy gave him the girl glare of death.
"What did I tell you, Chip Skylark McBadbat?" she growled.
"Shutting up." He said, biting his lip.
"Either way, those two are part of the popular kids. Something that none of us will ever see. They think I'm way too smart, Chip is too much of a red-neck, and the twins are from a family that will never be cool." Allegra switched back to first subject.
"Hey!" The three Turners said at the same time. Timmy knew that he was just an average kid when he was younger, but didn't think that would hinder his own kids in any way. Just then, the bus gave a final jolt as it came to a stop right in front of the school. The playground was half full of kids waiting for the bell to sound. The twins scooped up their items, grabbed Timmy and piled off of the bus with their classmates.
"Wanda, Cosmo! The bells about to ring and we don't have a teacher yet!" Tammy whispered up to her pink hairclip. In a split second, Cosmo and Wanda turned themselves into cats that sat in front of them.
"Don't worry about it Sweetie. I've got that covered for now." Wanda answered with a comforting smile. "Cosmo will stick with you guys for the time being. I have to set the plan into gear. Did you here that Cosmo?" She turned to where her husband had been sitting, only to find he wasn't there. "Cosmo?" Turns out, he was over by a tree in the schoolyard.
"Look! I found Charlie again! He'll be my new best friend." He said with his innocent stupidity. Wanda's face fell into a look of frustration.
"Cosmo, get over here!" She yelled at him. As she did, the first bell gave a ring.
"I hope you have something Wanda. If we don't find a teacher quick, Daddy might lose his job!" Tommy said, gazing at the kids running for the front door.
"No worries. Just keep green boy here with you and you should be fine." She said, dragging him back to his spot. With a flash, the two of them disappeared. Cosmo reappeared as Tommy's watch again, but Wanda didn't turn up. The two then took their child father by the arms and took off toward the school.
"You know, it's not really necessary to pull me everywhere!" Timmy called out as they entered the school. The twin's stopped and let him go. "And what's this about your dad losing a job?" he asked.
"Well Dad...Timmy...whatever...we were suppose to have Mr. Crocker this year, but he got thrown back into the loony place. When you were bigger, you were our teacher." Tommy said as he unlocked his locker. Timmy wasn't given time to protest such an answer. The twins took off like a shot to their classroom, where they made it with just seconds to spare before the final bell rang. Of course, all eyes were on them as they entered.
"Hey teacher's pets! Didn't your Daddy give you a ride this morning, or was he too busy giving his dear little children automatic A's?" Todd yelled through the entire room. Everyone except for Allegra and Chip started laughing. Timmy's eyes flashed with flames for a second.
"No! For your information, he's sick today." Tommy said, taking his seat. The class erupted in a chorus of whispers.
"Look! They multiplied!" Frankie shouted, pointing a gray finger at Timmy. Timmy just rolled his eyes.
"Geez, and here I was invisible at this age. Now, everyone is noticing me." He thought.
"This is just our cousin." Tammy said sourly as she opened her desk. Timmy saw that all of the desks were now occupied, so he just pulled a chair up next to Tommy's desk. Looking at the clock, he saw that it was now five after with no teacher in sight. Apparently, he wasn't the only one.
"Where's Wanda and her big plan?" Tommy asked his watch.
"Oh, I don't know. Wanda doesn't tell me things sometimes because she thinks my idiot impulse is going to kick in." Cosmo smile. Then, just as the twin's thought things couldn't get any worse, the door flung open. They bit their nails as the person entered the room, which was followed by a huge sigh of relief. A sound of disappointment filled the room as their sub walked across the room to the front desk. She was tall, a bit on the slim side, and kind of pretty for an adult. Her pink hair was tied back into a neat braid and her clothes looked like something more along the lines of what a lawyer would wear. She smiled sheepishly at the class of young children.
"Good morning everyone! I'm sorry that your teacher Mr. Turner couldn't be here today, but he's some down with some sort of bug." She said, setting down a carrier case on the big desk. The twin's wondered where she had gotten it.
"Who are you?" A boy named Clarence spoke up.
"Next time please raise your hand, but that is a good question. My name is Mrs. Magik." She said as she wrote it on the chalkboard. Tommy, Tammy, and Timmy looked at each other. They knew exactly what was going on. There was no Mrs. Magik, it was just good ol' Wanda.
"That's my wife! The smart one!" Cosmo said to himself.
Just outside the classroom window, the mysterious figure that had fallen from their tree earlier was peering in unnoticed. Even in the bright sunlight, you couldn't make out his unmasked face. In his hands was some sort of tracker that was let out the occasional beep. He gave a crooked toothed smile as it fell upon the brown haired Turner.
"Oh, headmistress is just going to love this!" he hissed. Suddenly, his cell phone went off in his pocket. He pulled it out and opened it. On the screen was an image of a person.
"Have you followed him?" It asked.
"Yes, oh high-headmistress-that-is-so-beautiful-and-not-crazy." He answered, glancing back to the window. The image on the phone gave a chuckle.
"Excellent. Get him when you can. Once you do, bring him to me. I'll take it from there." It purred. The screen then went dark and the figure put the phone back into his pocket. He looked back at the Turner family as Mrs. Magik began her lessons.
"Soon Turner, the headmistress will do what she need to with you." He said dryly. With that, once again, he ran off cackling the entire way. That is, until he ran into a trash can.
To Be Continued.
(I really had a little bit of trouble with this chapter. I have so much going on in my mind right now it's not even funny. My last day of work has passed and I'll be moving back to school on Thursday. Don't expect an update until I am fully settled into my new home. On another note, I actually watched the Channel Chasers movie again a few nights ago. I wasn't going to, but the second I turned it on it sucked me in. Did anyone else find some of it just hilarious? I think it was because I was tired that I laughed so hard.
"I've never felt so alive! Get it? Felt? HA HA!"-Puppet Cosmo
"What did you think that song was about? Pumpkin's?"
"Yes"-Doug Dimmadome and Mr. Turner.
I also loved Cosmo's stuttering at the end. That just cracks me up! I have got to get that movie on DVD. Okay, I'll shut up now. Keep reading! Remember, the imagination is only limited by you. Bye for now!)
