Disclaimer: I don't own The Fairly Odd Parents. If I did, why would I even post this? I coudl just make it into and episode! DUH!

Author's Note/Warning: Let me just start off by saying this now - THIS IS NOT MY BEST CHAPTER! It amazes me how you thought any of this was good, but if you liked this, I'd hit the floor faster than a drunk on roller skates. Okay, done with that. I know it took me forever and a day to update, but I can explain. First, writers block had chewed my brain, spit it out, melted it, and turned it into a statue of Richard Simmons. Really, it was that bad! Then, my friend and I got into a really bad situation, and she started making things worse, and...yeah, it was hard to concetrate after that. But finally, it's here, the shortest chapter yet! You guys can put down your pitchforks now...please?

Chapter Four - Crazier Ideas/Nudging and Smiling

I woke up the next morning ready to skate! Venus was going to stop by my house and we would fly to the roller skating place instead of poofing because we lived really close to it. I couldn't wait to get there! Wanda would be there, and we could skate together!

But, what if she didn't want to skate with me?

"Cosmo!" Mamma called from down stairs. "Venus is here!"

I grabbed my skates and flew down the stairs. I could tell Venus was trying not to laugh. Her, Donna, and Summer were the only people that knew why I wanted to come so bad.

"When are you going to be back, again?" Mamma asked. I hoped she wouldn't ask more questions. I wanted to get there!

"Around five," Venus said. "We might get something to eat when we're done, though."

"Fine, just as long as you two aren't meeting anyone there."

"Of course not," Venus said. "Just Donna and Summer."

Mamma smiled at us. That meant Venus had fooled her! She was really good at that. "Okay, have fun, Cosmo."

Outside, I told Venus what a good liar she was.

"Thanks…I think."

"Well," I said, "most people can't fool my mother."

"That's true. So I should take that as a compliment?"

"Take who as a what?" I had no clue what "compliment" meant.

Venus laughed. "Never mind."

We finally got to the skating place. Donna, Summer, and Wanda were already there. Venus and I joined them. "Hey, everyone," Venus said.

"Hi," Donna said. Smiling at Wanda, she said, "Venus, Summer, and I saw this really good-looking guy teaching a skating class."

"We did?" Summer asked. Donna nudged her and she quickly said, "Oh, yeah! That guy!"

I could tell Venus had a hard time trying not to laugh. "Let's go find him!"

They poofed off really fast. Why would they want to leave me there? This was supposed to be a group thing! How could they leave me alone with Wanda!

"Wait a minute," I thought. "Alone with Wanda…"

Wanda was smiling at me. "So," she asked. "Are you a good skater?"

I started to tell her that I was one of the only things I could do well, but then I thought, "She doesn't know anything about me!" So I decided that maybe if I pretended I didn't know how to skate, she'd help me! And if she did that, we might get to hold hands. That would have been really nice…

"I'm not very good," I answered. I poofed my skates on, rolled a few inches, and then fell on purpose. I hoped she didn't notice that it wasn't an accident just to grab her attention…now there's a sentence you don't hear out of me every day. WLiiAfanatic is teaching me a lot…oops, off track.

"I'll help you up," she said. I grabbed her hand and she pulled me up. I didn't let go right away, so she grabbed back, just like I hoped she would.

She hesitated a bit before she grabbed my other hand and led me around in a big circle, kept up a conversation, and helped me keep my balance while I kept pretending to lose it. She really didn't seem to notice that I was messing up just to get her to help me! My plan actually worked!

"You're doing a lot better, Cosmo!" Wanda said to me.

"I am?" I said in a worried voice. Then I remembered that she didn't know I was faking. "I mean, thank you."

Wanda looked like she wanted to laugh. Maybe she did know I was pretending. "Oh, great!" I thought. "You blew it! How am I supposed to get out of this one!"

"You wanna sit down and get a bite to eat or something?" Wanda asked me.

"That works!" I thought. "Okay!"

The two of us skated over to a bench, still holding hands, and sat down. I poofed up a sandwich and gave half to Wanda. "Thanks," she said to me.

"You're welcome!"

We sat and ate. I couldn't help but stare at her. She was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!

Wanda looked up at me. "Any particular reason you're staring at me?"

I stammered. I wanted to be like Venus and make up a really good lie so I didn't have to embarrass myself. I mean, she probably didn't think I looked good at all!

"Are you okay?"

"YOU'RE PRETTY!" I yelled out. I could have slapped myself. How could I have been so stupid! She probably thought I was an idiot…like pretty much everyone else I knew except for Mamma and my friends.

"Thanks…" Wanda said. And before I knew what I was doing, I kissed her on the cheek.

I couldn't believe what I did! We barely even knew each other! That did it, she probably really hated me! I should have just flown off right then and there.

Wanda was blushing. "Is that bad?" I thought. I guess it wasn't, because she leaned over and kissed me. Only she kissed me on the lips.

I felt my face turn red. I hope I didn't look as stupid as she did…even if she was still beautiful.

Venus, Donna, and Summer flew over. "Hey guys, we're gonna go get something to eat." Donna said. "Wanna come?"

"Sure!" I said really fast, before I could say or do anything else that was dumb. Well, anything else that she probably thought was dumb. I didn't think it was dumb to kiss her. I liked kissing her. I could have done it again if we weren't floating apart form each other. Donna was talking to Wanda about something.

"So, lover boy," Summer said to me. "How'd you do today?"

"Huh?"

Venus smiled. "Like we couldn't see you kiss her!"

"You saw that?" I asked. My face turned red again.

Summer looked like she was going to say something, but Venus stopped her. "We won't say anything if you don't want us to."

"Especially not to Mamma!" I said. "Or Wandissimo!"

Venus raised an eyebrow. "Why would we talk to him?"

I shrugged. "It could happen." I glared at Summer. Everyone knew she liked to tell everyone everything.

Summer smiled. "Trust me on this one, Cossie. I won't tell a soul."

I really hoped she was telling the truth. We had school tomorrow. No matter who should told there, Wandissimo would find out.


I poofed to the roller rink to see that Donna and Summer were there already. "Hey, guys," I said with a smile. I was happy to be there. I really wanted a chance to get to know Cosmo a bit more.

"Hey, Wanda!" Summer responded. Donna just looked at me weird.

I coughed. I couldn't place the look on her face, but there was something eerie about it. You have to get used to that when you're friends with Donna. She can see right through people and look right at their thoughts.

Summer's eyes wandered a bit. "Hey, there's Marcus! He's that jerk who stood my sister up! I'll be right back."

Donna and I laughed as Summer flew away with a sleeve rolled up. "That girl has an interesting life," my friend said.

"I'll bet."

Donna sighed. "So, you look awfully happy to be here. Anything I should know about?"

"Well, no," I answered. "I mean, you already know that I like Cosmo."

Summer flew back towards us. I could tell she wanted to know what she missed. She's like that.

Donna smiled. "Well, Venus and Cosmo will be here any minute. I need to come up with something convincing by then."

"What are you—"

I was interrupted when Venus and Cosmo flew up. "Hey, everybody!"

With a lot of smiling, nudging, and giggling, the three girls had managed to poof off to the other side of the floor, leaving me and Cosmo alone. It'd be the perfect time to learn about him!

"So," I asked him. "Are you a good skater?" I know, it was stupid, but I had to start somewhere.

"Actually, I'm—I'm not very good." With that, he skated a few inches and fell.

I could tell he was faking. A monkey could tell he was faking. I was kind of glad that we did though. "Teaching" him how to skate stuck me as a bit romantic. So I offered a hand to help him up. When he grabbed it, it tingled. He smiled after I grabbed back, so I decided to take his other hand and lead him around the rink a bit.

"How long have you known Venus?" I asked, just to keep a steady conversation.

"As long as I can remember," Cosmo answered. "Which isn't very far back, so I'm not sure."

I laughed and he pretended to stumble. He was so adorable! I wanted to hug him right then and there.

We talked about everything from school to sports to pancakes while I pretended to teach Cosmo. After a while, I decided to play along a bit more and say, "You're doing a lot better, Cosmo!"

He mumbled something. I noticed he seemed to get a little uncomfortable, so I suggested we sit down and take a break. He agreed and we headed towards a bench. Cosmo poofed up and sandwich and gave me half.

"Thanks," I said. I nibbled it for a while when I noticed Cosmo was staring at me. I asked him why, which probably wasn't my best move, but there's nothing I can do about that now.

"I—I um, sort of—you know—the eye doctor said—um—you have a—"

"Are you okay?"

Cosmo called out, "YOU'RE PRETTY!"

He looked really embarrassed, but I was quite flattered. I wanted to tell him that he looked really handsome, even more than that, but I couldn't find the right words, so I just mumbled a thank you.

I suddenly felt like a total idiot. Why couldn't I tell him how I felt? I was going to jump up and fly for my life, but he leaned over and kissed me right on the cheek.

My heart skipped a beat. I couldn't believe he did that! I hoped my face wasn't as red as I thought it was.

Cosmo looked seemed shocked by his own actions. I wanted to assure him that it was all right, but I didn't know how. All I did know is I wanted to kiss him back, so…

It was Cosmo's turn to turn red. I hoped it meant that he didn't mind me kissing him. I liked it…a lot!

Neither of us were sure of what we wanted to do next, so I was extremely grateful when the three girls flew up and asked if we would join them for something to eat. Cosmo seemed to be really enthusiastic about the idea. I felt a bit jealous at first, but I noticed he was still staring at me as we flew away form the roller rink.

Donna flew next to me. "I guess you two like each other more than I thought!"

"You saw us?" I asked a bit louder than I intended to.

Donna nodded. "We all did. And we all thought it was pretty darn cute."

"Cut it out!" I growled.

"Okay, okay," Donna laughed. "All 'm gonna say is that I hope it goes a bit farther than this. You guys are SO adorable together!"

"Really?" I asked.

"Yup! Especially when you were," Donna made quotes with her fingers, "'helping' him skate."

"It was obvious that he was faking, wasn't it?"

Donna looked surprised for a second, but then just nodded in agreement. Who did she take me for, the April Fool?

"If it was so obvious, why'd you help him?"

"Well…" I answered. "To be honest with you, I really kind of…wanted to—"

I could tell by the mile on Donna's face that I didn't need to continue. "What was the kiss like?"

"Oh, it was…amazing." I started off as if it was no big thing, but it really was. I kept wishing that one day, when I kissed him again, he'd kiss me back.
