Timmy breathed in and out slowly and evenly,as he steadied his sword only a mere 4 feet away from the blackened orb that was beginning to form more and more dragon features.Wincing,he turned to his fairys and got ready to explain the plan to them.Even though,it was onlya theory.

"Guys,"he began with a breath of cool,looking them directly in the eyes to make sure they were paying aboslute attention,"I know this seems weird,but what if we fused our powers?"

"What...?"Was he got in a long,drawn-out blank of confusion.

"You know,you're magic with my Fairy Warrior power."

They only blinked.

"Look,I know it might be againist the rules or something.But..."Timmy took a brief moment to glance at Tootie and a wave of emotion washed over him,it was a new feeling...a feeling.Of care,"But...we have to save her."

Wanda sighed and nodded with a surprisingly willing smile,"Okay,sport.Just this once,will try and bend the rules."

"Yep!And if that doesn't work,we can justsay good-bye to the universe and everything else we've grown accustiumed too."Cosmo joined in cheekily,but then nodded too.

So,while Timmy started to power up his wand,Cosmo and Wanda zapped as much magical energy as they could contribute to grandest-looking sword ever.And as Timmy felt his care for someone he use to detest,he also seemed to feel the need to beat Callisto at his own game once and for all.

Meanwhile,back with Callisto...

The Wizard waited impaitently up in the very top room of the castle and growing ever more irratable,as Anti-Cosmo tried to cheer him up.But finding that rather diffecult,what with dealing with a devious Wizard and being an anti-version doubleganger of his delirously happy-go-lucky counterpart.

"Sir?"he tried urging him slightly,"Why not just take the Sceptre?I mean,you're probabley powerful enough to."

But Callisto didn't awnser,he kept his red and intense eyes glued to the ground as he sat at his throne.He was deep in thought acutally,thinking of what should happen next,On the one hand,if the Warrior manages to stop The Fairy Warrioress from fufilling her destiney,they could band together and defeat me to claim the Sceptre.But,on the other,he might not figure out that the only way to do that sort of miraclous thing would be to...

"Hey!"came a loud,pierecing voice from another room and in burst Anti-Wanda,her blue face sweaty and hot looking,as she gasped in between breaths,"Uh...Carl?The prisoners have escap-ed.Um...and something else to.Hmm...oh yeah!I can eat cheese all day long without going to the bathroom!Oh no,wait.That aint it!Umm...oh!That Jorgen fellagot loose too."

That's when Callisto shot up from his chair and,glaring at the two blue Anti-fairys,he only grunted and stormed out of the room.Not in the mood to deal with such useless and uninformantive henchmen.But that's when it struck him,a strong wave of magic was starting to break loose.It was fairly light at first,but it soon grew more rapidly and powerfully.

Back with Timmy and...

Timmy was squinting his eyes shut,so he didn't notice as some Fairys were starting to poof into the room with them and supply thier powers to him.Even Jorgen.It wasn't until he opened his eyes and shifted his gaze,that he saw the many grinning faces of fairys he'd either seen before or ones that just seemed to want to lift a wand.His gaze then reached Cosmo and Wanda's,grinning determindedly at one another,all the Fairy's and The Fairy Warrior as well.Got ready to deliver the ulitmate attack of the centray to break the curse upon Tootie and set her free to fufill another destiney.

"Just...alittle...more."Timmy was straining to keep afirm voice and steady hands,as he lifted the sword up and,just as Callisto reappeared,he aimed it at the dark orb and blasted it.

"Noooo!"Callisto howled suddenly,as the disintegrated into dark ashes and then finally Timmy spotted her.Through a thin wisp of smoldering gray steam coming up from the ground,she lay on the ground and without much motion.Just a twitch or two.

"Tootie!"Timmy gasped incredulously,as he raced by her side.

Holding her up againist the floating ebony embers,he began to imagine life without her.All the time she had been way too silly and over-affectinate seemed to fade.He realized for the first time,that well,maybe not loved her,loved her.But he did love her.She was no Trixie,he admitted to himself that right away.But not even Trixie,no matter how pretty and popular she was,could compare to how brave and how sweet...

"Timmy?"Tootie inquired sleepily and sat up with surprise.

"Hey,Tootie."he smiled at her geniunely,helping her to her feet,"How do you feel?"

"I feel..."she shied away some,but he pulled her close.

"You feel...?"he encouraged her gently,touching her hair a bit.

"Uh...Ti-Ti-Timmy?"Cosmo sputtered in a quaking voice.

"Dude,not now."Timmy told him in a sharp whisper,kind of gingerly moving Tootie sort of behind him to get some privacy.

"Timmy...Sport."Wanda echoed her husband nervously,pointing a shaky finger at someone behind them.

Timmy and Tootie turned as one to only barely catch a glimpse at a frowning Callisto,as he grabbed the both of them and poofed away in to the deep regions of space.When they re-materialized,they found themselfs in what appeared to Timmy to be the same Asteriod Belt that he had fought in before.When he had first battled againist Crocker.

"Timmy,"Tootie whispered to him shakily,a little of her old self showing as she got behind Timmy,"I'm...I'm scared Timmy."

"Well,don't be."Timmy's reply was straightforward and euphoric,as he continued to say,"Look,Tootie.If thier's one thing I've learned in my experience at this,it's not to let them know you're afraid.Hey,I am!But remember,it sometimes takes fear to have courage.It's something everyone should know.Now,"he turned towards her and smiled,"Ready?"

Tootie took a moment to glance at him and then at Callisto,who started to approach them with a look a pure contempt and disgust,that she just about drowned in self-pity and indigination.Turning back to face him,she smiled and said,

"Ready when you are."

Well,not much more to say except...IT'S GETTIN' GOOD!lolz,you'll just have to stay tuned for more soon!Byez!
