The eternal optimist who always thinks of happy endings while on her permanently reserved position on the big comfy couch of denial has finally brought you Chapter 3.

Oh happy days! Kallu kalla!

Remember that this (…) means that the twins are talking to each other telepathically.

Have fun!

No, I don't own FOP or any reference to its varied characters mentioned herein, and unless the new episodes that follow 'School's Out' begin showing the love again, I wouldn't want to. So, for now, Butch Hartman can keep his name tacked on…even if it is for nothing more than the royalties at this point.

Oh…and I don't own The Big Comfy Couch either. That belongs to some broadcasting company in Tennessee I think. : )

Fairly OddParents : The Next Generation

Chapter 3. We're Your Fairy Godparents!

The glittering cloud moved up over the toilet where it hovered for a moment, before there was a soft explosion of smoke and more glitter, and a little stage with lights appeared before the kids. The stage in itself was odd enough, what with its flashing lights and sparkling banner which read 'Fairy God Parents', but the creatures which stood, or rather floated, on the stage were the last thing either twin would have expected to ever to see.

Vibrant green eyes and slightly tousled green hair adorned the obviously male of the two, while the female sported shining pink eyes and glittering pink hair. Both carried strange star topped sticks and even worse, both had a set of pale blue translucent wings on their backs.

The green haired creature floated forward with a dramatic lean.

"I'm Cosmo!" he said cheerfully. Almost insanely cheerfully.

The pink haired female floated to his side to lean into him as they put their inside arms on each other's backs.

"And I'm Wanda!"

The two then thrust their free arms out towards the two kids as they proceeded to say in unison, "And we're you're Fairy God Parents!"

Tommy and Tammy looked at the two grinning, self proclaimed fairies before looking at each other.

(No…way), thought Tommy.

(Double), returned Tammy.

The two kids stood staring at each other as Cosmo and Wanda stayed frozen in their introduction pose. There was a long, long silence, before Cosmo, unable to take it anymore and fearing the silence as a rejection, tried to whisper anxiously, "Wanda…they're not…saying anything."

Unfortunately it came out not as a whisper but a soft voice easily heard by the twins. Tommy and Tammy turned in unison in time to see Wanda say, "I can see that Cosmo dear."

It was Tammy who made the first move.

"Uh, how long are you two going to stand like that?"

Cosmo and Wanda looked at each other.

"Usually only until we get a response," replied Wanda as she stood, or rather floated, straight, the male beside her following suit.

"Ah. Right. And what exactly are you two again?"

"We told you," said Cosmo with a perturbed look. "We're your Fairy God Parents."

Tommy and Tammy looked at each other again for a moment before they suddenly broke out laughing hysterically.

"What's so funny?" asked Cosmo, clearly disturbed that the children would be laughing and he hadn't even done anything funny yet.

"A private joke so it seems," said Wanda as she looked at her two new god kids carefully.

"What joke," Cosmo inquired of his wife in total confusion. "I didn't hear any jokes. I wanna' hear it too!"

"That's because they didn't say it, dear. They thought it."

Tommy and Tammy stopped laughing almost instantly and looked simultaneously at a now smirking Wanda.

"Did…did you hear us?" asked Tommy hesitantly as fear crept into his eyes.

"No, but I didn't need to."

"Then how did you…" began Tammy.

Wanda smiled gently as she easily read the thousands of subtle hints denoting twins. Being one herself did have its advantages when dealing with twin godchildren. Right now what she read easiest was the nervousness the two kids displayed over her figuring out a secret, that they'd obviously managed to keep quiet, in less than 5 seconds. She knew though that they weren't truly scared because she had figured it out. What they were more worried over was the unspoken possibility that they could not trust each other if one of them had, even if unintentionally, told her the secret. While she and her own twin Blonda had their differences, there were times growing up when it did seem that they had only each other to rely on. They had shared their childhood secrets and before the age of 12 or so, if either one had told anyone else what they knew about the other, that other would have been devastated at the loss of innocent trust. Even today, despite their differences, there were lots of little secrets neither had ever imparted to anyone.

Certainly not wanting to frighten the kids, either of her or of their trust in each other, Wanda elaborated her understanding.

"I've lived with that ability…that is too say that Cosmo and I have had that ability, for almost 10,000 years. Its easy enough to recognize when you've done it yourself for so long."

The kids looked at her wide eyed.

"Are you brother and sister then?" asked Tammy.

Cosmo gave a mortified expression of shock as he looked at Wanda as if she were the plague.

"Ewww! No way!"

Wanda suppressed a laugh at Cosmo's utterly grossed out thoughts of making love to a sister, even though she marveled at how quickly he'd made such a connection this time around. Sometimes, he could actually not only get the real answer to two plus two, but occasionally he could get two times two as well.

"No. Cosmo is my husband. We've been married almost 10,000 years and have the ability to communicate through telepathy gained by 'true love's bond'. You two have telepathy through the 'bond of twins'. The mechanics are a little different, but the outcome is essentially the same."

"But you couldn't actually hear us?" double checked Tammy.

"No more than you could hear us," Wanda affirmed.

Tammy and Tommy both released heavy breaths of relief before looking at the two fairies.

"So, you guys are fairies?" asked Tommy.

"Geez! How thick can you…OOF!" broke Cosmo as he found Wanda's elbow buried into his stomach.

"Yes," she answered with a firm look at her husband. "We're fairies. We're Fairy God Parents and we were assigned to be yours until such time as you no longer need us."

"Assigned to us?" asked Tammy. "By who? And what makes us so special that we get assigned Fairy God Parents?"

"I'd like to explain it all to you sweetie, but this doesn't seem like the place for it. Why don't we find a more comfortable place to talk this out." suggested Wanda as she gave the disgusting bathroom a glance around.

Tommy cast his eyes down unhappily.

"We have to finish cleaning this up first or the babysitter will get mad and probably make us do more."

"You could wish for it to be clean you know," suggested Cosmo.

"What?"

"Wish! You know… Ask and you shall receive. Its our job. You wish it, we dish it! Right Wanda?"

"Right dear, but they only just found that out now that you've explained it to them so succinctly."

"I did? Coo-ell! Uh…wait…what's succinctly mean?"

Tammy gave a wondering look at Wanda.

"You're the smart one of the two, aren't you?" the girl asked hesitantly.

Wanda could only manage a wry smile before Cosmo said quickly, "Yep! That's why I married her! Hey! I actually married a girl because of her brains! Although I still can't understand why if she's so smart she would have said yes…"

Cosmo caught the tail end of his wife's glare and with a slight shrinking back and an apologetic smile he added, "But you're beautiful too dear."

Tammy looked at Tommy who smirked in amusement.

"Well, that answers my question," she said.

Wanda sighed once after Cosmo had settled down for the moment.

Turning back to the kids she asked with a eager grin, "Well? Would you like to give the old wish asking routine a try for size?"

"Assuming it would work at all, what could we wish for?"

"Ooo, Cosmo and I just love clients with creative imaginations! But there are actually rules about the wishes you can and can't make. Maybe just for trials sake you could keep it simple. Like wishing for a clean bathroom," pointedly encouraged Wanda reminding them of Cosmo's original suggestion.

"Okay…I guess I'll try," nodded Tammy.

"Hey! Why do you get to try first? You do everything first!" objected Tommy.

"That's because I'm older."

"Yeah! By three minutes! I want to try first."

The siblings argued back and forth for almost a minute before Cosmo clapped his hands over his ears.

"Alright already! Why don't you just wish it together! Twins! Sheesh!"

"Hey! That's a good idea!" said Tommy happily.

"I'll go with that," agreed Tammy.

They looked at each other and smiled before they said together, "We wish the bathroom was clean!"

Wanda and Cosmo brought up their wands with thrilled grins at granting the first wish, and with a poof, the bathroom was suddenly spotless, every piece of porcelain and grout work around shimmering a sparkling white.

The two kids looked about in awe.

"And you have to do this every time we ask?" breathed Tommy.

"Only when you wish it, but basically, yes," said Wanda.

The kids turned to each other again.

"Whooooaaaaa," came a double set of impressed voices that echoed off the now clean walls around them.

"Wow. Did Timmy wire the bathroom for stereo?" asked Cosmo as he looked around in surprised curiosity.

"Stereo? What's that?" asked Tommy.

Cosmo's eyes went wide as grabbed onto his wife's yellow blouse and pulled her close.

"Eeek! Wanda! They don't have stereo anymore! They don't have any more music! No more Bruce Springstein! No more Barry Manilow! No more David Bowie or Beethoven! Oh my gosh…NO MORE CHIP SKYLARK!"

Wanda rolled her eyes as Cosmo slipped down to hold her tightly about the waist in a fevered panic at the thought that there was no more music. For an ex-rocker wanna-be, not having music was like murder.

"We do have music," corrected Tommy as he eyed the green haired fairy oddly. "The speakers are in the walls all over the house. See?"

The boy quickly pushed a hidden panel back along the wall and a neat little set of shining tuning and volume buttons slid into view.

"Oooooohhhhh…shiny……" stared Cosmo wide eyed.

Tammy couldn't help it. She glanced at a grim Wanda and asked, "Are you sure he's supposed to be here?"

Wanda smiled fondly in her husband's direction as he stared at the silvery radio panel.

"Oh, yes. He is. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Don't worry. You learn to live with it after a while."

"I just hope whatever it is, isn't infectious," mumbled Tommy as he moved to his sister's side figuring he might be safer a little closer to her and Wanda.

Wanda didn't bother correcting Tommy on the futility of the move.

He'd find that one out on his own soon enough.

Ah! The twin's secret has been discovered!

Just for your knowledge, Cosmo and Wanda will have opportunity to do that in the future as well. When they do, it will be denoted by the following ((…)). And as much as I'd like to take credit for making them having that ability as well, I can't. I first saw it on Soulful sin's FOP fics. I loved the idea of it since it made so much sense to me what with their usual perfect synchronization, and going on the basis that she might have used it first, I asked and have been granted permission to use it as well. And speaking of Soulfin sin…if you haven't read any of her FOP works, then you should really consider it. They are absolutely phenomenal. They can get a little dark and angsty, but good writing is good writing and I'm sticking by her.
