It would be such an abrupt question to normal people, such as 'Anyone ever wanted to talk to animals'. For example, domestic animals people adopt such as dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Or wild animals such as lions, tigers, giraffes, elephants, wolves, foxes, all diverse of mammals. There would be plenty of children or adults wanted to understand what those animals want to say or think in daily life.
"I wish I can understand what does this dog think." Chloe wondered with a smile, cooing at the Siberian Husky dog and her pups.
If only Timmy could voice out her opinion.
'Cut it out, you'll cry.' Gary and Timmy's mind rang in alarm.
Wanda, Cosmo and Poof—in disguise of character badges on Timmy's backpack—inwardly sighed. As a special godchild who can use her magic in secret to do what she want, she can also understand what animals think or speak. She wouldn't call herself an animal expert, but she couldn't help hearing their voices that would definitely destroy innocent imagination of humankind towards animals. Timmy glanced at the grown Siberian Husky, the mother of her own puppies.
'Stay those [CENSORED] hideous face away from my babies!' The mother dog's voice rang in her mind as Timmy read.
"Let's don't get close to them, mother dogs can be overprotective towards their puppies." Timmy advised in as-a-matter-fact tone.
"You're right, Timmy. I guess she need to spend time with her puppies and not leaving them to a horrible vet~!" Chloe agreed.
"Like how my parents leave me to Vick?" Brunette said in a slight snarky tone.
"EVERY parent." Her friend correctly remarked as they walked to school.
Gary blinked as he recalled Timmy used to had many pets before. Only to find them gone as her parents said they all ran away. As far as he remembered the time he was inside her mind, he knows the turtle DON'T run. One of her old pets Gary know best was a certain furry gerbil who was unknowingly wished back to life by Timmy—who wished for everything in her mother's yard was back to life—and swore revenge on her parents for neglecting him. Although, recently he hasn't been present for entire year. Former imaginary friend wondered where would the small revived gerbil went. With a slight shrug, he joined Chloe and Timmy to the school.
'I wish I could see Eddie…' Timmy thought unconsciously.
Hours later, during the recess, Timmy and Gary decided to go outdoor to have lunch. Gary paused then went to get two sodas as the brunette was looking for the seats. Her head rang in slight pain from too much noises of fellow students talking or playing loud. What annoyed her the most was popular kids talking about their personal lifestyle being rich, purchasing expensive materials or stores, complimenting each of their looks, chatting about celebrity gossips and so on. Timmy continued to walk as she found the empty seat for her, Gary and other friends until she heard a squeaky noises below. 'Huh?' She glanced down, only to see a familiar zombie gerbil pet.
"I said stop, pink hat!" It was Eddie, his talking voice only heard through Timmy with his small paws on holding onto her foot, "it's me, Eddie!"
The pink-hatted brunette blinked several times as she gazed at him. And the next, she freaked out inwardly she ran.
"HEY! YOU SAW ME! STOP RIGHT THERE!" Eddie squeaked as he chased after her and managed to held unto his owner's pants.
Timmy stopped, managed to calm herself and picked her furry gerbil up. Gary caught up on them, sees Eddie.
"Hey, Eddie." Gary greeted as the furry gerbil waved to him.
Timmy sighed as they went to the school backyard where no one was around. Their fairies poofed as Timmy made a wish.
"I wish Eddie was human so we can talk."
Cosmo and Wanda raised their wands as Poof raised his rattle, granting her wish. With a pink poof of "Furry Boy", Eddie turned into an eleven years old boy with dark blond hair, has bluish gray shirt, lighter gray pants, a pair of black sandals, neck, arms and legs were bandaged to hide his regenerating skin, bandage on his left cheek. He had red eyes with frowning, arched eyebrows.
"So you know what I said?" Eddie spoke, his voice slightly raspy but with tone of a slight southern accent, sounded very frustrated with the fact Timmy freaked out by his return, "WELL, YOU GOT A BUNCH OF CHUTZPAH FOR IGNORING YOUR PET!"
"… that didn't sound right." She and Gary blinked.
"I came back because you wished me here!" Eddie yelled.
"Wait…did I—oh, yeah…" Timmy admitted immediately, "but how are you going to live? The old cage you lived in is gone now."
"How about here~?" Cosmo suggested as he poofed a rather ridiculously dangerous cage where two falcons and the wild cat.
"NO!" Timmy, Gary, Eddie and Wanda exclaimed.
"Poof poof?" Poof then suggested Eddie can live in treehouse like Gary.
"Huh, that's fine." Timmy agreed.
"WHAT?!" Eddie and Gary looked at her, gaping.
"It has big space for Eddie, no choice." She insisted, arms crossed.
Eddie pouted as Gary remarked how "uncool" it was, considering the former imaginary friend is still hating the idea that another who's close to Timmy would live with her. As brunette wished Eddie back to normal, she picked him up gently and put him in her pocket as it was perfect space for him to hide. Cosmo, Wanda and Poof turned back into a picture of her lunchbox as Timmy and Gary walked back to their seat. Eddie peaked through the jacket pocket.
"Hi Timmy~!" Chloe and Kevin walked to them.
"Hey guys." Timmy greeted back.
Inside the pocket, Eddie looked at both Chloe and Kevin, scrutinizing their appearances. In the furry gerbil's eyes, Chloe looked like Mary Sue type of girl with overly cheery attitude and optimistic side he finds it somewhat annoying. On the other hand, Kevin looked like his uncle Mr. Crocker, yet the boy looked more normal and friendly. Eddie deemed them as no threat to Timmy and continued to hide in a pocket.
Another hours passed, the school day ended as all students left. Timmy, Gary and their friends walked out and chatting, as the day apparently seemed to go smooth. Until, she was stopped by none other than Francis and his group of fellow bully friends.
"What do you want?" Timmy asked carelessly.
"Well, Turner. You've got some guts for punching my face previously." Francis said, flexing his fists as his friends snickered, surrounding her.
"HEY! Leave her alone!" Chloe yelled but pulled back by Chester and AJ who were feared for her life.
"And you've got guts to bring all of your 'henchmen' to deal with one GIRL." Timmy crossed her arms over her chest boldly.
Elementary schoolers panicked when Francis grabbed her by the collar, yet the brunette remained fearless. Chloe was now nervous, covering her eyes out of fear as other friends screamed for her. Gary, eyes darkened behind his sunglasses, hand his hand in his jacket, about to pull out pairs of Gurkha knives. Eddie, who has been in Timmy's pocket all along, hissed in protective tone, paws grew sharp claws and leaped on Francis' face.
"What the—?!" Francis' eyes widen as he let go of his near-victim.
Timmy blinked. Eddie growled, baring his teeth and scratched the bully's face, much to other bullies' horror as Francis screamed for his mother and ran off with his friends. Gary blinked his eyes, hand off from his jacket. Chloe slowly opened her eyes as Chester and AJ stood, surprised. Eddie babbled in barbaric manner at running bullies, threatening to murder if ever return to hurt Timmy then hopped back in her pocket as if nothing happened.
"What…just happened?" Chloe was first to speak.
Timmy picked up Eddie who only glanced at her.
"Ooh, I like him~!" Gary smirked, amused with the fact a furry gerbil nearly ruined Francis.
"You okay, Timmy?" Eddie asked, once again only Timmy and Gary could hear him.
"…yeah. I'm okay~." Timmy whispered to him.
She smiled at her furry gerbil appreciatively as Eddie smiled back. Having her old pet, an old friend back, was one of greatest things she had in her fairly odd life.
