Authors Note- This chapter though, I really quite like. I hope you're all paying attention for Beatles quotes I've scattered through this story! There are some great ones in this chapter.

Wanda felt horrible for that way she had treated Cosmo. The hurt she saw in his eyes almost broke her eyes, but she couldn't say anything to him in case Juandissimo became suspicious. She needed to talk to him now though; to explain that she hadn't meant to hurt him. But she didn't want to put him in danger, so that's why she was hovering outside the Shed door, knocking nervously. She was right to expect Cosmo's friends would not greet her warmly, because when Jon opened the door he slammed it shut in her face.

She sighed and entered anyway. She had to get them to listen to her, and she took courage from the fact that they weren't physically throwing her out.

"Oh look lads," said Giorge darkly. "It's the two-timing witch."

"You've got some nerve, turning up here and walking straight in. Cosmo's our mate and you hurt him," added Pall with contempt.

"But you probably love that, don't you?" accused Jon angrily. "He thought you really liked him."

"We thought you really liked him," added Giorge, glaring at her.

"I do like Cosmo!" Wanda defended. "I didn't want to hurt him, but I had no choice!"

"You always have a choice!" said Pall angrily.

"Not this time!" said Wanda, starting to get angry herself. "My boyfriend…"

"Oh, your boyfriend," interrupted Giorge mockingly. "Just how many boyfriends do you have?"

"Shut up!" Wanda screamed, losing her temper. "Let me finish! I was afraid that my boyfriend would hurt Cosmo out of jealousy if I talked to him!"

There was an awkward silence before they muttered apologies at her.

"I need you to tell Cosmo what happened and that I'm sorry."

"Well, we would Wanda, but…"

"But you don't believe me? What do I have to do to convince you guys…"

"No, Wanda, it's not that we don't believe you," interrupted Jon quickly. "It's because, well, we don't know where Cosmo is."

"What?" gasped Wanda.

"Nobody's seen him for a few days, and we don't know where he is. We've looked everywhere, and his mother's frantic."

"We're afraid he's done something stupid. And being Cosmo, it's more than likely."

Wanda was shocked. Cosmo wouldn't hurt himself, would he? She didn't think he had the attention span to be upset for this long. Where would Cosmo go to be alone and to think? 'Well, pretend to think,' Cosmo's voice echoed in her head.

"I know where he is!" Wanda gasped, and she poofed out the shed before the others had a chance to ask her what she meant.

She reappeared at the base of the hill, not wanting to startle him if she was right. She saw a green haired fairy sitting at the top and sighed with relief. Her hunch had been right.

"Do you know him?" asked a voice behind her. Wanda jumped and spun around, coming face-to-face with an old fairy floating on front of her.

"Yeah, I do," she said.

"Two days he's been sitting there now," continued the fairy. "Day after day, alone on the hill. The man with the foolish grin, I call him. Not that he's been grinning much these past few days. Nobody seems to know him, they can see that he's just a fool. He's a real nowhere man you might say. Sitting in his nowhere land…" The old fairy trailed off.

"Right," said Wanda, starting to feel a little creeped out by this strange fairy. "Uhm, I'd better go and see him," she said, turning and floating up the hill. When she glanced back at the stranger he was gone, but because they were fairies, this didn't really have the spooky effect it might have.

Wanda was soon near Cosmo, and stopped just behind him. "Cosmo?" she said hesitantly. He didn't respond. Wanda noticed then how bad he looked. His clothes were dirty and loose, his hair was droopy, he looked very pale, and he was shivering slightly.

"Oh Cosmo, are you okay?" she asked, extremely worried for him.

"What do you care?" he said coldly. He didn't want to be so mean to Wanda. He wanted to leap up and hug her and hear her say everything would be okay. But not even he could just forget how she had ignored him in favour of Juandissimo.

She flew around until she was floating in front of him. "Cosmo, please go home," she said. "You can't stay out here, you'll get sick

"No I won't," he said stubbornly, still shivering.

Wanda sighed and poofed him up a blanket, wrapping it around him.

Cosmo wanted to throw it off; he didn't want her help or pity. But it did feel nice and warm, and so comforting…Then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then he felt nothing at all.

"Juandissimo, what did you do?" screeched Wanda, bending over Cosmo to check if he was okay.

"I…I thought he was troubling you," he stammered. He hadn't meant to hit the idiot so hard.

"What did you hit him with?" she asked, looking at his hands. "A paperback and a gumboot?"

"They were the first things I thought of," he explained weakly.

"Hello," said Cosmo, opening his eyes and grinning stupidly. "Who are you?"

"You don't remember?" asked Wanda anxiously, before glaring at Juandissimo.

"Uhm, I might," said Cosmo cheerily. "Are you…Michelle?"

"No Cosmo, I'm…"

"No no, don't tell me! I'll remember!" he shouted. "Eleanor? No, that's not right. Lucy? No. Madonna? Jude? Molly!"

"Cosmo, I'm Wanda, remember?" she said, helping him sit up.

"Semolina pilchard!" Cosmo yelled, pointing at Juandissimo in horror.

"I'm taking him to the hospital. Juandissimo opened his mouth to protest, but Wanda said angrily, "He needs help!"

Cosmo took advantage of her distracted state to grab her wand. "Look Wanda!" he cried gleefully, galumphing around. "I am the walrus!"

"No you're not," she said, grabbing the wand and changing him back.

"Awww," said Cosmo. Then he saw Juandissimo and screamed. "Elementary penguin!"

"Come on Cosmo," said Wanda, holding his hand and trying to calm him down. "I'm taking you to the hospital."

"Okay," said Cosmo happily, forgetting his fear. "I like you. You're nice."

Wanda sighed and, raising her wand, poofed them both to Fairy Hospital.

"Excuse me," she said to the receptionist. "My friend here needs to see a doctor immediately."

"What's the problem?" asked the receptionist, sounding bored.

"He doesn't remember anything, and he's not saying anything that makes sense," she explained. Oh great, I just described Cosmo when he's normal.

"Look Wanda, I'm sitting on a cornflake!" Cosmo shouted happily, floating in the middle of the room.

"I see what you mean," said the receptionist, sounding a little more entertained. "Go right through. You'll be seeing Dr Stripp Studwell."

Wanda steered Cosmo through a door into a room with an extremely handsome doctor in it. "What seems to be the problem?" he asked.

"Look Wanda," called Cosmo floating in front of a mirror, enraptured. "I am he and he is me!" He waved his hands around the room. "And we are all together!"

"I see," said Dr Stripp Studwell. "And how did this happen?"

"He got hit over the head," explained Wanda as Cosmo drifted dreamily around the room.

"Hmmm, he doesn't look very good, does he?" said the doctor, eying Cosmo's tatty clothes and pale face.

"He's been sitting outside on a hill for the past two days," said Wanda with a touch of annoyance. She didn't think Cosmo looked that bad.

"I think he has concussion," said the doctor. "Plus there's a good chance he'll have caught a cold from sitting outside for so long. Perhaps even exposure. Probably pneumonia.

As if to confirm this, Cosmo suddenly sneezed loudly, which sounded to Wanda like 'goo goo g'joob', but she was sure she had imagined that.

"Ah yes, I was right," said Dr Studwell with satisfaction. "Just take him home, put him to bed, and make sure he stays there. He'll be fine in a few days, and his concussion will pass. Now if you'll excuse me," he continued, poofing up a set of golf clubs, "I have some work to do."

Wanda guided the sniffling, rambling Cosmo out of the hospital. She could have done without his memories returning. It was nice to be with him, and even to be needed by him. She poofed up another blanket and wrapped it around him firmly.

"Come on Cosmo, time to go home," she said, taking his hand.

"Okay Wanda," he said happily. "You're so nice. I really like you."

"I hope you'll still think that in a few days Cosmo," she said. "I really do."
