Timmy glared out the window of the big brink building,that read over head,"Dimmsdale Work Out And Fitness Center,"painted in bright red letters right above the enterence.Timmy shallowed a dry lump in his thoat,it was one thing that his parents were acutally taking him with them somewhere (which was GREAT for a change).....but here?

"Uh,mom,dad?Can I ask you guys something?"Timmy asked them unsurely and started to back into the plushness of his seat.

"In retro spec,son.You are!"Timmy's dad informed him,directing his eyes in the angle of his son's wary look in the rear-view mirror.

"As long as it's not about having a second thought about coming with us;which hypothetically would upset me beyond all reasons and will have to force us to never let you go anywhere with us again no matter what,"His mother paused a moment to catch her breath,then finished,"Then sure dear!"

"Never mind..."Timmy told them both grimly,starting to follow them out of the car and into the Fitness center grudingly.

In Kindney land....

Wanda drifted aloof in the back of her parents and Cosmo,who were racing from rides to rides.They had found Vicky,and then reluctanly,gone inside of her as she was taking a bite of her hot ham and cheese sandwhich miserbly.

"Yay!We gotenough tickets for riding the Tonsil Of Terror over 82 times (a new world record) and have enough now to go pick out one of the many body-part related prizes!"Martha annouced happiley to Cosmo and Roberto,who cheered along with her and only made Wanda feel worse then ever before.

"Come on,before they give away the good ones!"Roberto put in quickly and they all started to race to the prize stand.

Just as Cosmo got ready to zoom off with them,he caught the image of his wife sniffling sadly and then slowly floating over to sit by herself on a bench near a pond full of chromosomes.

"Wanda..."Cosmo asked her timidly,flying over to her with his eyes filled with concern and compassion,"What's wrong?"

"Everything,"Wanda told him quietly,pretending to examine her nails,"Just a chipped nail!No biggie,you go on aheadand I'll catch up later,okay sweetie?"

"OK-"But just as he was about to fly off,he looked back and then flew up to gently put his arm around her shoulders,"Wanda,I've been married to you for almost 10-thousand years.Somethings wrong,I can feel it."

Wanda looked into his eyes,they were strangely serious and stern yet warm and loving at the same time.So much so,that she gave a small laugh and nuzzled up in his embrace.

"It just that..."She began,almost tearfully,"That when my parents came,I wanted to spend time with them.Well,you and Timmy too.But not as much as they have been!And I hate to admitt it,but I have been a little.....well......jealous."

"Whew!"Cosmo piped up in his normal stupified laugh,"And all this time I was only trying to get them to like me.Uh,they do seem to like me alot,maybe even too much right?"

"Bingo."Wanda exclaimed ruefully,a little like her old self.

"Wanda,"Cosmo continued,still having a little bit of his nearly overwheleming seriousness left in him,"I think you're parents like me,which is great!But I would,never,ever try to make them like me more then they love you."

"You think they still love me after all this time?"Wanda asked doubtfully,still a little forlorn,"Even after all this time of never contacting them and everything?"

"Eh,I dunno.I worked with my mom only she never even knew I was gone!"Cosmo shrugged,returning almost fully to his idiot self,"It's not like we were built on a fondation of Enstiens or anything."

"Heh,right you are Cosmo!"Wanda laughed thoughtfully,remembering back to when she had said the exact same thing before to Timmy the other day,"Right you are."

Back at the Fitness Center....

"You're turn little man."A cocky,well-built woman yet geeky looking woman told Timmy impatiently.She was trying to get Timmy to at least touch the balance beam.

"Uh...what if I have to go to the bathroom?"Timmy tried asking her nervously,sweat starting to form on his brow.

"Young man,"The woman told him strictly,with a very firm tone,"We've been through this before.Literally!You already went twice and you're not even trying."

"What makes you say that?"Timmy asked her defensively,crossing his arms as if he were insulted.

"Get on the board get or go home!"The woman finally snapped at him and narrowed her eyes on him,waiting.

"Well,"Timmy whispered in a tiny voice to himself,"Why not?Beside,what have I got to lose anyway?"

At that very incovient moment,Francis came strolling over to the balance beam a few feet away from him in the 10 and up class.Timmy,unfortunately,had to start in the 3 to 10 class because he wouldn't so much as even powder his hands white with the special chalk they were suppose to use.

"I guess my legs or my arms maybe."Timmy said a little louder to himself,starting to gingerly make his way across the balance beam with all of his courage and confidence.

"What was that?"The girl snorted at him suspiciously.

"Nothing."Timmy sighed and finished (not with fly colours or anything) but it was better then just quiting and going home he supposed,"I wonder how Wanda and Cosmo are holding out.Wish I could see for myself what their all up to right now."

I'm glad if anyone out there is following me.But could you give me a review now and again to make sure I know that someone at least is sticking with me.Either way,I love writing and recieveing comment (even some constructive critism,not neassarily flames thou) from people who either enjoy or think I could do better with something.Well,until next chapter,this is LP saying......May you're days be merry and full of...well...uh,certain stuff and uh.......more stuff.
