Previously on The Fairly Odd Parents 2022...

"I wish my Daddy could re-live his own childhood so he could remember how to have fun..."

"I wish Mom could re-live her own childhood so she could remember how it is to have a first crush..."

Unaware of the fact that their other Godchild was making exactly the same wish at the same time, Cosmo and Wanda both raised their wands, ready to grant a wish that they already knew would bring them trouble...

-Poof! A Second Childhood!-

What they didn't know yet, was how much trouble it would create...


A SECOND CHILDHOOD (Part 2)

-THUD!-

As soon as Wanda granted Tammy's wish, a loud noise was heard from the hall.

- "What's that?"- gasped the girl as she stood up.

- "It sounded like a hard object falling from a considerable height..."- whispered Wanda poofing into one of Tammy's pink bracelets. The girl walked slowly towards the door and opened it just the space she needed to peek through it. The hall was empty, except for her father's cell phone, which was laying on the carpet.

- Hello? Turner? Are you listening to me?"- came the voice of Mr. Robinson through the phone's speaker.

Tammy slowly left her room, took the phone and placed it her left ear as she whispered- "My Dad is busy, Mr. Robinson. Please call him later"

- "Huh? Who is it? Turner... -click-"- were the last few words from Tim's boss as her daughter hung up the phone, turning it off immediately.

- "You know, Sweetie"- said Wanda frowning- "That was very rude!"

Tammy blushed but didn't say anything else, for her mind was busy trying to figure out why her father's cell phone- aka the slavery device as the twins usually called it- was abandoned on the hall... and in the middle of a call!

- "Dad never goes out without his cell phone"- she whispered- "And I'm sure he wouldn't leave his boss on the line"- the girl looked at her bracelet with worried eyes- "Where is he, Wanda?"

- "I'm not sure, Tammy"- replied the fairy- "But I guess he can't be too far away"

- "Maybe he went to the bathroom"- said the brown-haired girl as she walked to the Turner's bathroom, knocking at its door- "Dad? Are you in there?"

But no one replied.

Tammy opened the door and entered the bathroom, only to find it as empty as she had imagined it.

- "D... Dad?"- she asked again, her voice shaking with fear- "Are you p... playing hide-n-seek?"

- "Wow! This game rules!"- a very young-sounding voice was suddenly heard, followed by the peculiar noises and sound effects from Tammy's newest videogame.

- "That's your Kaboom Nebula game, isn't it?"- asked Wanda as Tammy ran from the bathroom and across the hall until she reached her room, where she would find a shocking surprise.

- "What in the...!"- she gasped as she found a boy around her age sitting in front of her V-Cube-360 and already teaching a lesson to Amoebuz with the help of Crash Nebula. The dexterity he showed as he operated the videogame's controller could make someone think that he was born with one of them attached to his hands.- "What are you doing here?"

Startled, the boy dropped his controller and glared at Tammy- "Excuse me?"- he exclaimed angrily- "I'm the one who should be asking that question!"

- "What are you talking about?"- asked Tammy, her cheeks flushed from anger.

- "Tammy...?"- Whispered her bracelet low enough to not be heard by the boy- "I suggest you take a good look at this child before continuing this discussion..."

Knowing that her Fairy Godmother usually had a point behind her suggestions, Tammy obeyed and examined the strange kid: Odd choice in clothing (including a stupid pink hat like Tommy's), large blue eyes (just like Tommy's) and a huge set of buckteeth (yep, like Tommy's too!). Actually, except for the fact that this kid had brown hair and a round nose, he could be Tommy's identical twin.

'You were lucky to inherit your mother's traits'- had said Aunt Vicky the previous Christmas- 'Too bad that your brother ended looking so much like the Twerp, I mean, your father'

Tammy didn't need anymore clues, for she felt her blood freezing as her mind reached an incredible conclusion: The boy that was standing in front of her was indeed her father.

Her ten-year-old father.

- "Daddy?"- She whispered in amazement.

- "Excuse me?"- replied the boy frowning.

- "I... I mean Tim..."- stuttered the girl.

The boy grinned.

- "That's me, but everybody calls me Timmy"- he corrected her as he stood up.- "And you are..."

- "My name is Tammy"- replied the girl, extending her hand, which the boy took.- "I'm... your cousin from Canada! And I came here to spend a couple of weeks in Dimmsdale"

- "Really? My parents didn't tell me anything"-he shrugged- "Speaking of which, where are they?"

- "They... took my parents and my brother for a tour around the city, but I decided to hang around here instead"- she glanced at the floor and added- "I'm sorry for being so rude. I didn't expect to find you here"

- "And why not? This is my room, after all"- said "Timmy" as he looked around "his room"- "And it seems it'll also be yours during your stay in Dimmsdale, too"- he added pointing at the second bed next to "his closet".

- "You don't mind, do you?"

- "Of course not!"- Replied Timmy with a grin- "It'll be nice to have a room-mate for a while"- he pointed to the V-cube and asked- "Say... is that your V-cube?"

- "Yes!"- replied the girl proudly.

- "It looks so cool... and high-tech!"- He commented as he took one of the controllers- "I've never seen one like that around here"

- "That's because it's Canadian!"- Said the girl quickly taking the other controller- "So... How about we teach Amoebuz who're the bosses of the Omega Galaxy?"

Timmy smiled broadly- "You bet!"

-o-

- "Cosmo?"

- "Yeah?"- buzzed the green fly that was still perched on Tommy's hat.

- "Have you seen Mom?"- He'd been sitting on the bench for almost half an hour and hadn't seen his Mom since she left him there. He'd even just seen the Mayor leave the Fast Food area with a large Smoothie but, surprisingly enough, she wasn't anywhere near the politician.

The fly flew around its Godson and shook its head- "Not since you made that wish"

- "Wish!"- Gasped the boy- "What wish?"

- "The one about making your Mom relive her childhood so she could understand your feelings"

Tommy's eyes became as wide as plates.

- "I wasn't being serious!"-he exclaimed.

- "Well... you know Da Rules"- explained his Godfather- "We must grant anything our Godchildren say immediately after the phrase 'I wish'"

Tommy slapped his forehead: Trust Cosmo to only remember the one rule in that stupid rulebook that could get them in trouble.

- "Great!"- he glared at the Fairy- "How am I supposed to find a good present for A.J. if we now have to find the kid-version of my Mom before we get in more trouble?"

- "Actually, that won't be necessary"- commented Cosmo as he flew far away from his Godson.

- "What do you mean? And where are you goi...?"- but Tommy couldn't finish that phrase, for something tackled him in that very moment with so much force that he fell on his back.

- "Timmy!"- That "something" screeched as she covered Tommy's face with kisses.

It took the poor boy a couple of seconds before he was finally able to take a good look at his "loving attacker": It was girl around his age sporting two messy pigtails, glasses and a set of clothes that looked remarkably like Tammy's except for the fact these were black. Actually, if it weren't for the girl's black hair, pointy nose and lack of perfect teeth- she wore braces- she could be mistaken for his fraternal twin.

'You look so much like my Timmy did at your age'- had commented Grandma Turner the previous Christmas, before Grandma Flanagan had added- 'And your sister is the spotting image of my Tootie when she was a girl'

- "Mom?"- He gasped in surprise, interrupting the girl's "smooch attack".

- "Huh?"- she sat up and glanced at the boy, her cheeks blushing deep red as she found out his mistake- "You are not Timmy!"

- "Actually, my name is Tommy"- he answered as he stood up and shook the dust off from his pants.

- "I'm sorry for tackling you like that but... I mistook you for someone very special to me"

- "You mean my Dad... errr... "Timmy", right?"

He could literally see a bunch of small, red hearts floating around her- "Yes, Timmy Turner!"- She exclaimed.- "The cutest, kindest and sweetest boy in the whole world!"

Tommy grinned mischievously- 'So much for not having a big crush on Dad, huh?'- he thought as he watched in amusement the way his girl-Mom was nearly fainting at the thought of his father.

An idea already forming on his mind, he said - "So... you must be Tootie, then"

- "How... how do you know?"

- "Cousin Timmy talks about you all the time"- said Tommy casually. 'Tootie' let out a small scream.

- "Cousin? Timmy Turner's cousin!"- She exclaimed as she hugged him tightly.- "I thought he didn't have any cousins... not that I have spied on his family album or anything... "

- "I'm from England"- the boy lied- "And I just moved to Dimmsdale with my sister because I wanted to meet my family over here. Nice city, by the way, it reminds me of the hunt."

- "Anyway, I'm so glad to meet you!"- She said releasing him and extending her hand.

- "The pleasure is all mine"- replied the boy taking it- "And with perfect timing, because I was looking for a girl who'd help me with a little problem I have right now. Of course, if you want to..."

- "I'd love to! Any relative of Timmy is also a friend for me!"

Tommy smiled. His unknowing wish was proving itself to be quite useful- "Well, there's this girl that I really like. She's pretty, popular, smart and her birthday's coming up real soon, so I want to buy her a perfect gift for that day. The problem is that I'm not sure about what girls like so..."

Tootie frowned.

- "Are you asking me to help you buy a present for Trixie Tang?"- She asked, evidently disgusted.

Tommy scratched his head- 'Tracy's mom? She must be kidding! Besides, why is she acting so bitter against one of her best friends?'

- "No, it's not for Trixie Tang!"- He replied

Tootie glared at him - "Don't tell me it's for that airhead, Veronica Star, then!"

'Close, but it's not for Alicia Jane's mom either'- he smiled at his "mom" and said- "Actually, it's for a girl I met back in England. Will you help me, please?"

- "Well..."

- "What about this: If you help me find a present for my crush, I'll help you find one for Timmy. Not only I am a boy, but his cousin too, so I know perfectly well what a boy like him likes"

Tommy expected his mom to smile or cheer as she had been doing for the last few minutes, but instead of that she glanced at her shoes, looking somewhat sad.

- "Thank you"- she whispered- "But I've already tried that. He never accepts any of my presents"

- "Why not?"- asked Tommy surprised.

- "Because he doesn't like me!"- She exclaimed- "And he doesn't let me love him and I don't know why!"

Tommy was confused: His Dad was evidently in love with his Mom and was never shy to show it to the world. Actually, the level of fluffiness between his parents was only surpassed -and barely- by his Fairy Godparents.

- "You just haven't found something that he'd really like"- he suggested- "Besides, maybe he acts that way because he's not ready to date yet..."

- "Well... It's true that someday he'll turn eleven, after all"- said Tootie, her cheerfulness and energy coming back like magic. She took Tommy's hand and added- "Let's go find those presents!"

Tommy grinned- 'This wish is perfect! What could possibly go wrong now?'


- "All right!"- Exclaimed Timmy as he pressed the controller's buttons as fast as he could- "He's almost finished!"

Tammy smiled: She'd been having a great time with her "Dad", playing through her newest videogame. With the help of his -unbelievable- videogame abilities, she had been able to reach the final level in record time.

Together, Crash and Kaboom Nebula had become an invincible father and son team, just like the one that was controlling them.

On the screen, Kaboom Nebula used his anti-matter powers to place himself under the Device Extraordinaire Specified To Raid Or Yank Enemy Rodents (aka D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.E.R) - 'What a dumb name for a final boss!', had said Timmy earlier- to reach it's weak points, while Crash Nebula used his twin cannons and force field to dodge the enemy's heavy attacks and keep it distracted as Kaboom annihilated its central core.

Meanwhile, a pink-eyed goldfish smiled warmly at them from her fishbowl, her memories transporting her to those days, twenty years before, when she would watch her former Godson play "The Not-Study Game" with Cosmo.

Speaking of which...

- "Hello Pudding!"- Exclaimed Cosmo suddenly as he poofed himself next to his wife.- "Did you miss me? Because I did!"

Startled, Wanda glared at him- "Don't scare me like that!"- But just one look at her husband's pout was enough to soften her eyes- "But I missed you too, Honey. I always do"

Satisfied by her answer, Cosmo cuddled against his wife and smiled. They remained like that for a moment, until Wanda exclaimed- "Wait a minute! Weren't you supposed to be with Tommy?"

- "You could say that..."

- "Then why are you here!"

- "Well..."- Cosmo grinned- "Let's say that Tommy is just fine and busy buying a present for AJ with the help of his Mom..."

- "So? I already knew that!"

- "...His ten-year-old Mom"

Wanda gasped- "You don't mean..."

- "He wished his Mom to relive her own childhood, so she could remember how it is to have a first crush"- said the green-eyed goldfish- "Actually, he made that wish unknowingly, so he was really mad when I explained him what Da Rules say about granting everything preceded by the phrase 'I wish', but now he's glad he did!"

- "I can't believe it!"- She exclaimed.

- "Yeah, I know. I never thought I'd remember one of Da Rules, Pudding"- said Cosmo with a proud smile.

- "It's not that!"- She corrected him- "But I'm proud of you nonetheless, Darling"

- "Then...?"

- "Take a look at that!"- Wanda pointed at the couple of children who were already celebrating their triumph against the D.E.S.T.R.O.Y.E.R. as the videogame's credits were rolling on the screen.

Cosmo gasped- "Th... that's Timm...!"

- "Quiet, Honey"- hushed Wanda as she placed her fin over Cosmo's mouth

- "Umph...?"

- "I know!"- She exclaimed- "Tammy wished her father to relive his own childhood, just like Tommy did with his mother!"

- "That's... strange"- commented Cosmo once Wanda removed her fin- "It's as if they have some sort of... 'Wireless connection' or something like that"

- "It's not that strange, Pudding"- she replied sweetly- "Twins are usually believed to have a mental bond, just like any couple of people... or magical creatures that really care for each other"

Cosmo smiled both at his wife's remark and the fact that his former Godson was "back".

- "That was a great game!"- Exclaimed Timmy as he stood up- "I haven't had so much fun in a long time!"

- "I agree"- said Tammy- "Too bad that in the future you won't be able to have as much fun as you do now..."

- "What do you mean?"

- "Well, when you grow up and everything..."

- "Nah!"- He said shaking his head- "That's something I'll have to worry about then, but for now... I just want to enjoy my childhood as long as I can!"

- "Right!"- exclaimed Tammy happily.

- "Uh... I think I need to go to the bathroom."- Said Timmy as he walked towards the door- "Hey! How about we play a match of Digi-Dunk 3000 when I come back? Let's find out who's the Turner Family's videogame champion!"

- "You're on!"- replied the brown-haired girl as he left the room.

- "It's 2 ó clock!"- Chirped Cosmo- "He always went to the bathroom at exactly that time!"

- "Not now, Honey"- whispered Wanda as she saw their Goddaughter approaching their fishbowl with a smug face.

Once she stopped next to their container, she peered inside it and said- "Well?"

Both goldfish blinked in confusion.

- "Well... what?"- asked Cosmo.

- "Aren't you supposed to tell me something, Wanda?"- asked Tammy raising an eyebrow.

- "I'm not really sure what you're talking about, Sweetie"

- "Come on! It is at this point when you usually tell me that I made a stupid wish and that I'm still in time to make things go back to normal before something horrible happens!"

Wanda crossed her fins- "Well, this time I think you made a good wish"

Tammy was confused- "Huh? Why?"

- "Well, your wish not only is letting you spend some quality time with your father, but it also proved my point about him not being a boring kid as you said earlier"

Of course, there was also a third explanation for Wanda's fondness towards Tammy's wish, but the girl wouldn't know it for obvious reasons.

Tammy smiled,

- "I know! This wish is just perfect. There's nothing that can go wrong with it!"

- "Hey, Tammy!"- Exclaimed Timmy as he returned from the bathroom, picking up his controller- "Are you ready for that match?"

The girl glanced at her goldfish and nodded- "Let's get this done!"

-o-

If Tommy already felt exhausted before he met "Tootie", two hours later he found himself barely able to hold the small paper bag which had AJ's birthday present inside it. Following his Mom's advice, he had bought her a toy magic wand- 'Those are my favorites in the whole world... besides Timmy! I have a huge collection of them!'- which also worked as a calculator, a mirror and a pen. Tommy would never had thought about getting such a weird present, but as he thought about it, he concluded that girls were actually weird by nature, so he had made the perfect choice in the end.

The only problem with having a child-Mom as his shopping partner was that she didn't have the money she had promised to loan him earlier to buy the present, so he was forced to look into the depths of his Genetically Altered Bulls wallet for the amount he needed to buy not only AJ's but Timmy's present too- remembering his Dad's fondness for the Crimson Chin, he had told Tootie to buy one of his comic books at the Comix store.

But that wasn't the only problem he had encountered because, just as they were leaving the Mall, he had also remembered that his mother wasn't able to drive them home at her current condition and he didn't have any money left to take the airbus either, so they were forced to walk the 3 miles that separated them from the Turner household.

Although he was almost on the floor by the time they reached their street, Tootie was skipping happily alongside the black-haired boy, a huge grin plastered on her face. It seemed that the mere thought of being able to give her not-secret-at-all crush something he'd really like was enough to fill her whole ten-year-old body with energy.

And that included her mouth, of course, for she had been talking about Timmy all the way back home.

- "...And then, he went to my house to get his dolls back"- she said- "I was really mad at him, because I thought he'd throw me another water balloon but, do you want to know what he did instead?"

- "Yeah?"- replied Tommy tiredly.

- "He gave me his Crimsom Chin action figure!"- she screeched, a bunch of little hearts floating around her head once again- "I was so happy! He even told me it'd be our little love secret!"

- "That must have been neat..."

- "Oh..."- Tootie glanced at her companion and blushed a little- "I'm very sorry. I must be boring you with all my chattering about Timmy..."

- "Why do you think that?"

She gave him a weak smile - "It's just that... this is the first time I feel comfortable talking to someone about this. My parents are very busy, but it wouldn't matter if they had the time, because they always say that my crush is just the result from a bunch of childish fantasies that will fade away with the years. And I wouldn't even dare to ask my sister! She dislikes Timmy a lot, so I just know I'd only be giving her yet another reason to make fun of me"

Tommy blushed and looked down at his shoes in shame: All this time he had thought that his mother didn't care about his feelings, but it was actually the opposite situation. She might be very busy with her job as a journalist, but she always found at least a moment to listen and give him advice. She had even agreed to take him to the Mall, although she perfectly knew that it was very important for her to be present at the Mayor's Press Conference.

If there was someone who had been intolerant, it was Tommy himself. Glancing at his mother, he decided he'd act just like the friend she needed as a child from now on... at least until he wished her back to normal so he could apologize to her.

- "Don't worry, Tootie"- he smiled- "You can tell me everything!"

The black-haired girl answered with a tight hug. - "Oh, Tommy! You are the best! No wonder you are Timmy's cousin!"


- "So the match ends with a score of 30-15!"- Cheered Timmy as he threw his controller upwards- "I won again!"

- "Yeah... yeah..."- replied a visibly bored Tammy- "You've won... for the tenth consecutive time this afternoon"

- "Want to try it again?"

- "No!"- Exclaimed the girl- "I mean... not now. Besides..."- she glanced at her bedside clock- "It's almost 4. Are you hungry?"

- "Now that you mention it, I sure am!"- Replied the boy- "Let's see if Mom left something for lunch!"

Timmy walked towards the door and looked back at her- "Are you coming down?"

- "Go ahead"- she said waving her hand- "I'll reach you in a moment"

The boy shrugged- "All right"

Once her father was gone, Tammy rushed to her fishbowl and exclaimed- "It's now or never! I wish my Dad was back to normal!"

- "I thought you were enjoying this wish, Tammy"- replied Wanda with a smug face.

- "I was! But not anymore!"- She complained- "Didn't you see the way he's just kicked my butt at DigiDunk 3000! Ten consecutive times!"

- "Now, now, Tammy"- said her Godmother as she poofed herself back to normal- "You've got to learn to be a good looser. You can't win all the time!"

- "I think I've had enough lessons in loosing for a whole year!"- Exclaimed Tammy.- "Now, please. Grant my wish!"

Cosmo and Wanda raised her wands to grant their Goddaughter's wish... but they deflated instead, accompanied by the characteristic pfft! Sound that was usually heard when a wish failed.

- "Huh? What's going on?"- asked Tammy.

As in a cue, Wanda's well-known Da Rules book appeared in front of her, already open on a specific page. The pink-haired fairy read it and frowned. - "This doesn't make sense..."

- "What is it, Pudding?"- asked Cosmo placing a hand over his wife's shoulder.

- "It's OK, Cosmo, it must be a fluke"- said Wanda closing the book and poofing it away- "I guess we should wait for Tommy before we can grant you that wish"

- "Tommy? Bu..."

- "¡Auggh!"- A loud yell was suddenly heard from downstairs- "What are YOU doing here?"

- "Daddy!"- screamed Tammy turning around and leaving the room as fast as she could.

Cosmo and Wanda glanced at each other in confusion.

- "What was that?"- asked Cosmo.

- "I don't know, Honey"- replied Wanda with worried eyes- "But I hope it wasn't anything bad..."

Suddenly, loud footsteps were heard from the hall, accompanied by the sound of the bedroom's door as it was slammed open.

- "There you are, Cosmo!"- exclaimed Tommy as he entered the room, panting loudly.

- "Tommy?"

- "When did you get here?"

- "Just a few moments ago, after spending the last two hours walking home from the Mall!"

- "I thought your Mom drove you there, didn't she?"

- "Tootie can't drive, remember!"- He nearly screamed as he glared at his Godfather.

- "You need to calm down, Sport"- said Wanda as she placed her hand over her Godson's shoulder. - "Now tell me, what's going on downstairs?"

- "I thought you'd explain that to me!"- He replied- "Who is that kid that was looking for cookies in the kitchen and why did he ran away screaming like a maniac when he noticed us?"

- "Actually, Tommy, that boy is your father"

- "What!"

- "Tammy wished your Dad to relive his childhood"- explained Wanda- "Just like you did with your Mom..."

- "And I'm sure he wasn't pleased at all after seeing her inside his kitchen!"- added Cosmo grinning.

- "Cosmo..."- whispered his wife.

Tommy paled- "All right"- he said, apparently ignoring his Godfather's comment- "Then all I need to do now is to wish they were back to normal, right?"

- "That seems to be the best course of action, Sport"- said Wanda.

- "OK! I wish that my parents were back to normal!"

His Fairy Godparents raised their wands... only to have them deflated one more time. The Da Rules book appeared in front of Wanda.

- "There must definitely be a fluke on our wands"- she muttered- "Otherwise, this doesn't make sense!"

- "Oh no..."- Gulped Tommy- "Then what..."

-CRASH!-

- "Get away from me, Tootie!"

- "Why are you always so mean to me, Timmy?"

- "Tommy! Get down here immediately!"

- "Go ahead and help your sister, Sport"- said Wanda- "We'll try to figure out what's going on in the meantime"

- "Alright"- nodded Tommy as he turned around and left the room as fast as he had entered it earlier.

Wanda returned her attention to Da Rules, with Cosmo at her side watching patiently. He knew that some situations could only be solved by his wife's brains, but that didn't mean he wouldn't try to help her... at least with his company and support.

The pink-haired fairy sighed- "This doesn't make sense..."

- "You already said that, Pudding"- he said moving closer to her- "Why do you think that?"

- "Every time we try to grant a forbidden wish, Da Rules appear in front of us to remind us what rule we are trying to break"

- "Got it!"- said Cosmo- "So... what rule are we breaking this time?"

- "No wish can't interfere with another Godchild's wishes"- she read- "That's why it doesn't make sense! Both Tommy and Tammy want their parents to return to their original age"

Cosmo rubbed his chin in deep thought- "Maybe we are interfering with the wishes of another Godchild besides Tommy and Tammy"

- "That's ridiculous!"- Exclaimed Wanda- "Because..."

But she didn't have to finish that sentence, because their answer entered the room in that very instant, closing the door behind him.

- "Cosmo, Wanda!"- Exclaimed Timmy Turner as he rushed towards them- "Tootie's here and she won't leave me alone! I wish I was invisible!"

TBC.


A/N: As you can see,the problems arejust starting for Cosmo, Wanda and the twins;).

I'll try to have the next chapter finshed as soon as possible, because this isn't the only Tommy and Tammy story I have already planned. I also have an "angst" story that takes place in the dark future depicted in Channel Chasers in the works, but that one will take a little while.

Meanwhile, I did a really lame "Title Screen" for this story.If you want to see it, look for "StardustMoon" at Deviant Art Dot Com (that's my account).

Thank you so much for reading this story! And for your lovely comments too! I'll reply toyou very soon!

See you in the next chapter!
