Shrunk at microscopic size,Timmy and Waldo jouneryed into the forbidding house by the means of the key hole.It was basically like any overly-decorated house on the inside,Timmy thought with some mild distaste as they made thier way up in Crocker's bedroom to free the other fairys.
Meanwhile....
"Heh,now little fairys,"Crocker cackled,while he sat the box down with little effort on a normal-looking stool,"I'm going to get my camera all filmed up for this most glorious of moment.You stay here and I'll be right back!"
Timmy sighed with relief,when he and Waldo saw that the stool didn't seem to have any booby traps hidden around it,as Crocker made a quick dash for the door,but he turned again and thought fora moment,then he snapped his fingers cleverly.
"Ooops!" He laughed to himself,"Almost forgot to set the secret,microscopic booby traps for just such an occasion."
The two watched with gaping mouths,as they saw Crocker flip a switch behind a framed portrait of him with a giant red and blue lolly in some sailor suit.As he did this,it acitvated all kinds of dangerous and deadly looking things to set of in front of the twosome.
"Just my luck,"Timmy grumbled in a piqued manner.
In the box.....
"Cosmo,say something!"Wanda urged him,flying over to put her arms on his shoulders,but all he did was pull away in a huff and then sadly glance down at the ground.Not daring to look up with his guilt-ridden gaze and into her saddened pink eyes.
"I'm sorry I got us into this mess,Wanda."Was all he said and then he turned completely quiet again.
"Geez,the kid's high strong,what can I tell's ya!?"Roberto defended himself,when his daugther turnedon him with anger flashing in her eyes.
"If you haven't of said what you said,none of this would have-"But she was cut off by her mother's own eyes glaring at her with sparks of fury.
"You're father may responisble for what Cosmo's going threw,but don't you go as far as to saying that ANY of this was his fault,young lady,"Martha told her daugther sternly,making it clear she meant it.
Wanda stiffled a small sob and glanced at Cosmo out of the corner of eye.Her voice instantly softened,as she spoke to in a dreary voice.
"I just wish none of this had ever happened,what's that?"
A fast-paced rapping sound on one of the sides of the box made everyone jump back a few feet.They weren't sure at first,but a familiar voice asked hastily,"Cosmo!Wanda!Wanda's parents...are you OK?"
"Timmy?"Cosmo and Wanda gapsed in a surprised unison at the same time,then thier voices grew happier then ever (even Cosmo's),"Timmy!!!"
"Guys,were gonna save you,hold on!"Timmy told them with a reliefed/over-joyed tone in his voice that meant he felt just that that they were just fine.
"Who's we?"Roberto's voice echoed from the box,as Timmy and Waldo grew back to normal size and started to pick up box together to sit it down gently.
"Wal..."Timmy repiled breathlessly,now just releasing his hold on his side of the box,"Waldo."
"Wallie?!"Wanda gasped with utter shock.
"Yep,hey sis!"Waldo's voice greeted them all warmly,as he got ready to help Timmy open the box.
"It's magic proof on the inside and out!"Wanda warned them,looking over to see that Cosmo had resumed his depressed slump of wordless silence.
"Don't worry,"Timmy called back into them reassuringly,"Were gonna get outta here and then find someway to get you out guys out.Hey,how's Cosmo doing?I don't hear him in there at all?"
"He's....."Wanda started to tell her godchild with a soulful heart,when Crocker's footsteps interupted.
"He's coming back up here!"Waldo told Timmy and the two were poofed into Crocker's closet.
"Now!"Crocker said trimphantly,coming over with his recently purchased camera,"I will...."
"Denzel!"His mother's voice sang cheerfully,"Mommy's going down to her Gymnastics now.Make sure to pick up mommy's new line of girdles at the Go-Go-Girdle Hut for mommy,when you're done with all the fairy nonsense."
"No,mother!Get you're own life and keep out of mine!"Crocker yelled down at her curtly and slammed the door behind him with a stubborn growl.
"What should we do?"Waldo asked Timmy,his Scarlet eyes glancing down at Timmy's sky-blue.
"I dunno...hey!Why don't you poof yourself into a human adult and pretend Crocker's won something down at the door,long enough for me to sneak out with Cosmo and Wanda and the others..."
"Great idea,kid!"Waldo grinned at Timmy and then poofed away,leaving a hopeful Timmy in his wake.
Almost instantly,the doorbell rang,causing Crocker to pause from pushing the button that would turn them all into magic dust and muttered some very unplesant words on his breath in a ranting voice.
"Yeah,yeah!I'm coming."Crocker grumbled,as he made his way down the stairs and to the front door.
"OK,guys."Timmy told them hurriedly,coming over to pick up the light-weight box,only to accidently set the box to titanic-level.At first,Timmy was only aware that the box seemed to be making him loose his balance a little bit,but then it got so heavy that it made Timmy fall from the top floor and come crashing down 2 stories.Recovering quickly from his plunge,he headed to the back door and started running around to the front to get Waldo.
At the front door...
"Yes."Crocker awnsered with a simple voice.
"Well....good day to you sir!"A human adult Waldo grinned madly at him,while shaking his hand excessively,"You seem like the try-it-once type."
"No,I'm the...you-better-get-off-my-property-before-I-phone-the-authorties type!"Crocker told him without trying to sound sarcastic about,then slammed the door and started to make his way back upstairs,when a pounding noise made him turned with disgust and reluctantly awnsered it.
"Who's there?"Crocker asked out,but then looked down to see a human kid form of Waldo in a boy scout uniform,holding up cookies with a smirk.
"The freshest,bestest,and not to mention freshest cookies on the market,dude."He said up to Crocker coolly and looked pleased when Crocker picked a particular cookie with slight interest.
"What's this cookie called?"Crocker questioned him curiously,holding it up to the sunlight to look at it.
"A screaming sensation of a secret ingredent,"Waldo sniggered slightly,but wore an unsuspcious lookplastered on his face.
"Well..."Crocker went on with examining it and shrugged,"Alright then,I'll give it a try."
"Wait for it."He said to Timmy,when he saw him jog up to him successfully with the box in his hands.
"Mmm...that was very....Ha-Ha-HA---HOOOTTT!!!!"Crocker screamed with his mouth emitting smoke and his eyes bloodshot with tears,he ran for the kitchen to shallow large portions of water and only to return with no one there.
"Good one!"Timmy told him,bursting out and laughing hysertically from behind the side of the neibouring fence.
"Yeah,I know."Waldo laughed a little as well.
"Well,time to find how to open this."Timmy said with mock seriousness,recovering enough to start approach the metal box resolutely as he did and got ready to open it.
Well,this is kind of a push-over chapter.I don't know,maybe I'm just being a little naive at the moment.Maybe I'll be able to come up with something better for chapter 14.OK,until next time my adoring fans...which,of course,well be,very,very soon!I gurantee to you all!Well,gotta go for now,bye.
