Timmy walked reluctantly back to his house,he couldn't seem to think straight,all the events in the last few days that had tooken place seemed to surface and swim around in his mind.His grandparents and Wanda's parents coming,the new him,the fight with his friends,all the new things he was experiencing and now this.It was almost more then the ten-year-old could bare.Well,he'd be 11 next month.But that wasn't the case right now,the case was that all the fairys he cared about were being fairy-napped at turned into magic dust.
"What can I do!?"Timmy asked aloud,surprised by how unusally aching and hoarse he sounded,"I can't do anything."
"Hey,kid!"Someone asked from behind him,"You know a fellow by the name of...uh....Timmy Turrr-neeerrrr?"
"Yes,that's me,"Timmy confirmed weakly,not turning around to look at who it was he was talking to.
"Wanda's godchild?"The voice asked again,expecting some kind of reaction from the seemingly moping 10-year-old.
"Yeah-hey!How'd you...huh?"Timmy said dumbly,as he turned to take in the figure hovering just a few feet up above him,"How did you know Wanda's one of my fairys?"
"One of them?"Waldo asked,confusion in his eyes.
"Yeah,Cosmo's my other.You know..."Timmy started to circle him a few times,wearing an examining look on his face,"You look awfully familiar somehow."
"Oh,my bad!"The fairy chuckled forgetfully and extended a hand to Timmy,"I'm Waldo.Wanda's younger brother."
"Really?Cool!I'm Timmy."Timmy smiled slightly,almost momentarily forgetting his troubles to focus on the newsmiling fairy before him,"Wanda is...shes been captured."
Waldo looked thoughtfully into Timmy's near faultful eyes,he patted him lightly on the back and then stuck out the map to him.Timmy glanced down at it and then back up at him.
"And this would be....?"He stated curiously.
"The awnser to our prayers."Waldo told him with a grin.
Meanwhile,inside the box....
"You better have a good explanation for this,young lady."Roberto told Wanda with an acussing eye.
"Oh,Rob,stop it!Will you,it is NOT our daugther's fault that were being taken to Fairlyworld knows where inside a stuffy and cramped metal box."Martha snapped at him an in almost pleading manner.
"Fine,Collin,you did it then!"Roberto mused on,pointing his finger directly at Cosmo.
"Me?What'd I do?"Cosmo asked innconncently.
"What'd you think,ding-dong!?If it wasn't for that certain somebody being after you,known of us would have been dragged into this!You've gotten a lot of nerve,boy.Doing this to us,espeically my sweet little girl!You and you're idoitcy!Why did my daugther ever marry a numbskull like you,anyways!"It all came out in one good scolding,but it got threw.
Wanda saw the look in Cosmo's eyes,he had been told and even teased all his life about being stupid.And even when he paid attention to it,he still didn't think anything of it.Not that he could really,but it never really seemed to bother him before.But now,looking into his mixed-up emerald eyes,she could tell for sure.His feelings and even his pride had been crushed,the words,"Why did my daugther ever marry a numbskull like you,anyways!"Had tooken something inside of Cosmo and torn it to shreds.He had nothing left to say,but to just float there emotionlessly.
"Dad!"Wanda snarled angerily at her father,floating up to Cosmo's side to hold him close,"How could you?!You know I love him,why are you doing this!?"
"I never wanted you to get married,that's why!I wanted you to stay my little girl forever.When Waldo left for the Fairy Acadmey,you were and you're mother were all I thought I could have any longer.I just wanted you to be you're happiest,is all Wanda."
"Dad,"Wanda said softly,"I am happy!I'm happy with what I do,I'm happy with what I've accomplished!I'm happy with Cosmo and Timmy.But nothing could ever make me stop loving you guys as well."
"Wanda,you're sooo grown up!"Martha told her daugther tearfully and embraced her,Roberto joined in as well,"I know you're happy,don't you Rob?"
"Yes,"He smiled to at both of them and then floated over to place a hand on Cosmo's shoulder apologenically,"Listen,I'm sorry I got carried away.It was just the feeling of being trapped by an insane manaic drove me a little insane ,uh,Cosmo you're not a bad husband for Wanda at all.In fact...you're probably the best thing that ever happened to her and that's the truth."
"I don't believe you."Cosmo told him quietly.
"But you are,isn't he Wanda?"Roberto grinned at him truthfully and then over at Wanda.
"No,"He repeated coldly,taking Roberto's hand and threwing it off his own,"You don't mean it!"
"Cosmo...."Wanda started to say to him soothingly.
"I'm sorry,Wanda,"Cosmo whispered in a low voice,"You really do desirve better.I'm not better."
Back at Timmy's house...
"Ready to rock,Tim?"Waldo asked him,as Timmy got into his shrink machine,Waldo had poofed up for him.He had only recently reached this level of magic.
"You bet!"Timmy retorted in an adernaline rush of a breath,pushing the shrink button down with his fist,"And Waldo,one thing I gotta tell you."
"Yeah?"
"Don't call me Tim!"
The 2 poofed over to Crocker's front lawn with time to spare,Crocker was just now pulling up and getting out the box,when they were both recovering gingerly from the poof Waldo had just done moments ago.
"I feel weird,"Timmy pointed out uncertainly,giving himself a quick look over,"Almost tingling."
"I'm still working on how you're suppose to make single poofs not feel like anything but air."Waldo admitted with a shrug,looking over to where Crocker was just hopping up and out of the car.
"Quick!"Timmy barked at him impetuously,running into some nearby bushes.Waldo complied almost immedetely,flying into the bushes as well.
"You think he spotted us?"Waldo asked Timmy in a hushed tone,watching Crocker slam the door behind him as he headed up the stairs and into his room.
"Hope not."Timmy repiled equally quiet,then he narrowed his eyes on the front door and made an ushering motion with his hand,"I wish we were just outside Crocker's door without Crocker noticing."
Timmy waited paitently for the magic to take effect.But felt and saw nothing.And when he turned,he saw that Waldo was just floating there.Not really thinking why he wasn't doing anything,Timmy said it once more.But all Waldo did was float there and stare at Timmy blankly.
"Well..."Timmy inquired him questionabley.
"Well what?"
"Why aren't you doing anything!?"Timmy exploded on him carelessly,then he muttered under his breath,"For the love of pete and his forefathers."
"I'm not you're fairy,dude.I can't grant you any wishes or I'd be breaking da rules!"Waldo explained to Timmy in a calm,cool and collected voice.
"Sorry,"Timmy apologized,trying to keep the ruefullness from escaping his tone,"It's just the thought of anything happening to Cosmo and Wanda,especially when it's something that has something to do with Crocker.
Despite the fact that he saw the obvious bitterness in Timmy's voice when he mentioned histeacher,he saw that Timmy deeply cared for his godparents and would probably be willing to risk a lot just for thier safety.That's when Waldo,himself,saw the bond the not-so apparent bond Wanda,Cosmoand Timmy shared.It ususally didn't take a lot to see things like that,but sometimes people just didn't look hard enough.Waldo knew from past experience,he smiled at Timmy knowingly and then hoped he would one day have a bond like Timmy's with his godchild as well.Although,he hardly doubted they could ever match the one he seemed to see before him.
"Ready?"He asked Timmy,trying to change the subject,get his wand ready anyways.
"Let's go,"Timmy told him with an excited glint in his sky-blue eyes,getting ready shrink the suit super small once they were inside Crocker's house.
Sorry,got carried away with the whole Wanda's dad despising Cosmo thing.Oh well,more action and humor next chapter!I can never seem to fit everything I want into a chapter sometimes.But these last few have been exceptionally long since I haven't logged in for a while.Anyways,buh-bye now!
