Ok, now that I've gotten that "Wake me Up Inside" story out of my system, (I just wanted to write something a little deeper, and decided to just do it now so that I wouldn't forget) I'm ready to continue with this story. I'm glad it got such a good response. Ok, onward...
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters or the show of "The Fairly Odd Parents".
Ok, now that that's all done with, let's get started!
Timmy sighed and sat on his bed. His godparents were in the fishbowl staring at him with looks of concern on their faces. Even Cosmo seemed to grasp the seriousness of the situation better.
"Well, I've officially screwed it all up." Timmy sighed, "First, I cause her to kill herself. Then, I can't even understand that it's my fault. Then, when I do, she gets mad at me. Which brings me to a question: When did Tootie come back to life? When I saw her, she was getting a knife. Did I go back in time? When?"
Wanda grinned and poofed herself to outside of the fishbowl. She grinned. "Well, it's a new thing that us fairys can do now. Many OFR's have been studying this new technique for years."
"OFR's?"
"Official Fairy Researchers!" Cosmo grinned, and poofed himself to outside the bowl. He grinned goofily at his science attire. "Hey, look at me! I'm a fairy scientist! Whoo-hoo!"
Wanda rolled her eyes and tapped him with her wand, turning him into a dog with a muzzle.
"Hey!" came his barely coherent protest,"This isn't comfy!" He tried furiously to get it off and fell over.
"Anyway,"Wanda cut in, "The OFR is a group of fairys who study fairy magic to see if there's anything else we can do with our powers. They're the ones who discovered that we can use our magic to poof from one place to the nxt. Before that, we had to fly wherever we needed to go. Not very easy on the wings, let me tell you!"
"You're not answering my question." Timmy said.
"Oh, right. Sorry. Well, the OFR has recently discovered that fairys can use their magic to turn back time."
"But you could always do that!" Timmy reminded her,"Remember the time scooter and the do-over watches?"
"Yes, sweetie, but this is very different. This is what we call NRI time traveling--Non Realization Illusion Time Traveling. That means we can take you back in time, but we can use our magic to make the time transition so smooth that you won't even realize that you're traveling in time. You're brain will not believe what it is seeing, and you will think you are still where you were before."
Timmy nodded, and jumped at the loud sound that suddenly filled the air. He looked forward, and a green door was shut, inches from his nose. He looked around. He was outside, standing on the front porch. He looked around, a little confused. Then he realized that he was outside Tootie's house, and she had just slammed the door in his face.
He looked at Wanda and Cosmo who were grinning. "Neat, huh?" Cosmo grinned. "I love it! I've already seen the dinosaurs, King Tut, and a real dixieland band!" Cosmo grinned. "And now, for some pudding!"
He waved his wand, and a bowl of chocolate pudding appeared in his hand. He ate it happily, the pudding ending up on his face.
"Wow." Timmy said. "That time transition really was smooth. But really, did you have to bring me back to this certain time period?"
"Oh, sorry sweetie. I understand how you feel. True love can hurt sometimes." Wanda smiled sympathetically. "But you don't have to worry. Tootie can't stay mad at you forever."
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Timmy sighed as the door was slammed in his face. He turned around and sat on the angry girl's front porch step. His fairys appeared as squirrels. "Ok, it's been forever, and she's still mad."
"She just needs some time to cool off." Wanda stated.
"It's been a month!"
"Well, sweetie, you did hurt her pretty badly. She took this really hard. Maybe if you had been a little nicer when she told the school that she loved you..." she reasoned, "I mean, that took a lot of courage."
Timmy sat up. A little nicer?
Immediately Tootie's 10 year old voice came back to his mind. Why can't you give my love a chance! Timmy smiled and stood up. He turned around to face her door and banged on it as hard as he could. Nobody answered. He knew she was in there. She had just slammed the door in his face not even two minutes ago. He kept banging the door. She had to answer eventually. After ten minutes, Cosmo intervened, "Uh...Timmy? Don't you think that's enough? She would've answered the door by now if she wanted to see you."
"Well, I'm using my 10 year old logic. If I keep doing this, she'll get annoyed eventually. She'll have to answer the door if she wants me to stop."
"Didn't your father make you do that to the Dinkleburgs?" Wanda grinned.
"Yeah, and then your dad hit them with a pie when they opened the door, and went "Oops! Sooory, Dinkleburg!" " Cosmo laughed.
Timmy nodded. "Exactly."
"Well, hopefully, you won't pie Tootie in the face."
He just grinned slyly and hit his fist against the door even harder. The door flew open, and Timmy almost fell over. Tootie had fixed her tangled hair, and it now rested and cascaded past her shoulders. Her face was gone of the black tear stains. She was now in a navy blue t-shirt and hip hugger jeans. "WHAT! Why can't you just leave me alone!"
Timmy stared straight into her eyes. "Tootie, I just wanted to say that I'm really sorry."
Immediately, her expression softened a little. She leaned against the side of the door frame and crossed her arms. "You really hurt me. Again." she sighed and spoke again. "Ever since we were 10, I've had a crush on you. And I always bugged you. I realize I could've shown my affection in other ways, but I was only 10! I mean, I still like you, but come on! We're 15! Do you really think I'm going to act like I did when I was 10? I haven't even acted like that since we were 13! All I ever wanted was for you to give me a chance."
Timmy nodded. "I know. I'm really sorry. I know I should've at least given you a chance, but I...I dunno..just kinda assumed that you would be the same as when we were 10. I knew you changed and grew up a little, but for some reason, I just kinda assumed you would still stalk me, and humiliate me, and bug me, and stuff..." he winced. Oh, that was absolutely perfect, Turner. You'd better make up for that one. He quickly added,"...and I shouldn't have. I should've used a teenager's logic, instead of a ten year old's. I made a really stupid assumption because of it."
She scoffed pushed herself up from leaning against the door frame. "Yeah, well you really made an ass out of you." She took a step back and reached for the door knob to shut the door.
"Tootie, I'm sorry. And I hope that you won't stay mad at me forever." He said quickly, before she could shut the door. She stared at him. Her eyes had an expression that nobody had seen in a while, one of happines.But she tried to keep the serious expression on her face."Are you done?" she said. Her cold voice was obviously a lie when compared to the subtle expression.
"Not quite." he said, "There's more."
Tootie scoffed and rolled her eyes, letting out a laugh of disbelief, she tried to come off as cold as she spoke,"Come on, Timmy! What else is there to say? I just want to be left alone. You already apologized and gave your little speech. What else is there?" she demanded.
Timmy leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. Her lips were soft and warm. He reluctantly pulled back just as soon as he had placed his lips there. He had only given her a gentle peck on the lips. He wanted to kiss her more, but he knew not to push his limits. He tried not to grin as he looked at her. Her eyes twinkled with happiness, but she furrowed her eyebrows to make herself appear as upset as she had been. Her cheeks were slowly turning crimson. She was good at acting. Timmy would've thought that Tootie was really upset, but he noticed that the corners of her lips were rising in a small smile that she hid well, but not well enough for Timmy to miss. She blinked rapidly, unable to believe what had just happened. She looked at him.
"Yeah, whatever." she said, trying to seem serious. She backed up and tried to shut the door. Right before it shut, Timmy placed a hand on the door and started to push against it, trying to keep the door open. He didn't have to try to hard. She's not even trying to keep the door shut! he thought with relief and amazement. Tootie stared at him wordlessly.
"Ok, fine. I forgive you." she sighed,"Now will you leave me alone?" She kept puhing at the door, but not with much effort,"I have to go now. I'll see you at school tomorrow, ok?" Timmy smiled and released his hand from the door. She pushed it shut.
Timmy turned to walk down the step. He was a flash of pink and green disappear behind a tree. He rolled his eyes and walked home.
oooooooooooo
Timmy opened the door to his room. Cosmo and Wanda were in the fishbowl, grinning widely. They poofed to their original form.
"Hi, Timmy!" Cosmo greeted cheerfully, "So, did you enjoy ki---"
Wanda poofed a piece of tape onto his mouth.
"It's ok, Wanda. I know you guys were watching."
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Wanda smiled.
"Wanda..." Timmy spoke in a knowing voice. Wanda rolled her eyes. "Oh, don't get all know-it-all on me. That's my job." She laughed and made the tape disappear from Cosmo's mouth.
"I'm just glad that she forgave me so quickly." Timmy smiled and shook his head, escapingfrom the blushthat was rising in his cheeks. He remembered kissing Tootie. That was the best part of all. No, the best part of all was when she forgave him. Then the kissing. Her lips were so soft and warm...
"Timmy?"
Timmy was jolted out of his thoughts by his real mother's voice.
"Yeah?" he called back.
"Nothing." she called back, "I just wanted to make sure you're home. I'm cooking roast beef sandwiches, your favorite!"
Timmy rolled his eyes. Since when did his parents ever care about him? But still, the roast beef sandwiches his mom made were tantilizing. He thought again of the small kiss he had given Tootie. It was probably the best kiss of his life, even better than the make-out session he had had with Trixie Tang. (Even though it never would've happened if she hadn't been dared to kiss him.) He grinned before calling to his mom, "Mom, save me a sandwich, but I think I'll pass tonight."
ooooooooooooooooooooo
There he is! Tootie's stomach was in flutters all day. All because of the kiss that Timmy Turner had given him.And it wasn't even a real kiss! It was just a peck on the lips. Nothing serious. She tried in vain to bring down her hopes a little, in case the brown haired boy decided to dash them again, like she knew he most likely would.
She stood in the cafeteria doorway, staring at the boy sitting under a tree on the high schoolyard where the students were allowed to eat. She was glad that he ate outside too. She loved nothing more than to sit at one of the lunch tables outside, or sit on the grass, staring at the sky while the breeze comforted her. She waited until his friends AJ and Chester were talking with him before she walked over to them.
"Hey, guys." she said.
"Hey, Tootie." Aj and Chester greeted her. They weren't freaked out in the least. Ever since Tootie had stopped stalking Timmy at age 13and started asking him out in the way a normal person would, the two boys didn't mind her anymore. In fact, they were her friends too. Chester glanced at Timmy, then at Tootie and smiled, showing off his teeth, which were also braces-free now. AJ smirked. They had both grown into attractive young men with normal interests, and they were both smart enough to know that Timmy had some feelings for Tootie.
Timmy smiled at her, "Hey. What's up?" She looked so pretty. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She wore a red shirt and a denim crop-jacket with a matching jean mini skirt. He liked the skirt. He thought she had really nice legs. He forced himself to look down at his sandwich.
She smiled shyly. "Nothing really." She wished Chester of AJ would say something. Frankly, she found it easiest to talk to them, and it'd be a bit of a relief if one of them said something.
Neither of them did, so they all sat eating in silence. Tootie stared down at her own food while eating it. She wasn't ready to look at Timmy yet. Well, she was always ready to look at him, because, well, he was good looking. But she wasn't really ready to face him after he had kissed her. In her mind, she thought that her first kiss with him would be in a more romantic manner than it had been. But the kiss he had given her had been nothing more than friendly, and almost...brotherly. She looked up, only to be greeted by the top of Timmy's head, as he was staring down his own food too. She smiled. She loved his hair. It was so thick. It was what made him...well, him. Chester cleared his throat, and Tootie snapped out of her trance. She looked over at the blonde boy.
"So, ah... um...why is everyone so quiet?" he finally said.
Timmy looked up at him. Tootie looked at him out of the corner of her eye. Timmy, I'm glad I decided to forgive you, but you shouldn've known that I can't stay mad at you for long. But I guess this is different. You almost caused my death. Yet, I still love you. Too bad you don't feel the same.
It was as if he heard her, because almost immediatley, he looked over at her. Tootie quickly shifted her eyes back at Chester, but knew the fact that she was blushing didn't help her case at all.
"Chester's right," Tootie said. "We should talk. Silence is too awkward."
The three boys all murmered their agreement. Then, there was more silence fo a good 20 seconds. Finally, AJ broke the silence for good.
"So, have you and Timmy done anything yet?"
"AJ!" Chester punched him in the arm.
"Ow! What? I'm just trying to get a conversation going! Besides," he looked between Tootie and Timmy, "It's been what, two months already? Are you ever gonna make a move?"
Tootie tried not to giggle at the expression on Timmy's face. It was hard to tell how he felt at the moment. He looked confused, happy, amused, upset, kind of PO'd, a little annoyed, but most of all, he looked stunned that AJ would be so brazen as to ask that. Tootie blushed and moved her gaze down to her lunch again. She thought about what AJ had said. Are you ever gonna make a move? Had he been speaking to Timmy or her? He had to be talking to Timmy. she took a bite out of her sandwich and chewed it slowly as she mulled over her thoughts,I mean, I already made my move. He hasn't yet. But maybe AJ was telling me I need to try again! She swallowed and looked at AJ. Ironically, he was looking right at her. He raised his eyebrows before turning to talk to Chester and Timmyabout the latest "Fear Factor" episode.
Tootie stood up. She fel a little naseaus. "I'll be back. I'm gonna take a walk." The three of them nodded, barely looking up from their conversation. She rolled her eyes. Whenever it came to gross things or pretty girls, not even an atomic bomb could distract them.
She walked back towards the school cafeteria doors, passing many couples who spent their time making out the whole lunch period. She sighed. Nobody wanted to see that when they were eating. She usually felt jealous of them, but in her nauseated state, she just felt a little bit sicker.
ooooooooooooo
Tootie splashed her face with cold water and stared at herself in the mirror. "You needto make another move. Soon." she spoke with certainty. She had told the whole school that she was in love with Timmy. So why was she so acared to make a move? She grabbed a paper towel and dried her face as she remembered why. Because last time, he put such a tragedy in your heart that you thought you'd never love again. You thought that your world was over, and that'd you'd be better off dead.
She sighed. Maybe Vicky had been right in telling her that she needed counseling. She sighed and tossed the paper towel in the trash can and walked back into the cafeteria. She felt a lot better from the pep talk she had mentally given herself. The cafeteria was full of people talking, and she quickly ran back outside. A few people were still making out, but most had settled down to eat their lunch. But one couple that was sitting under a tree particularly caught her eye. They looked just like Tootie and timmy! She blinked and looked at them. It took her a moment to realize that it was Trixie and Chet, one of her fellow populars. She kept looking at them, amazed at how much Chet looked like Timmy, only with blonde hair, and collided straight into something. The next thing she knew, she was staring at the sky, the sound of laughing spilling into her ears. She rolled her eyes and got up. She realized someone else was sitting on the ground.
"Oh, I am so sorry! Are you ok?" she helped them up. Then, she realized it was Timmy. "Yeah, I'm fine." he said. He stared at her. Tootie quickly shifted her violet eyes to look somewhere else. The sky, the trees, no not the trees! That's where people were always making out! She felt a blush rise onto her cheeks at the though of making out with Timmy. Now her cheeks felt so hot she thought she would burst into flames. She knew she was probably redder than the shirt she was wearing.
AJ's voice came into her mind. Are you ever gonna make a move? Tootie stared at the grass. You have to do it eventually. She looked at him. "So, you were pretty quiet over there. Something bugging you?"
"No, I'm ok. There was just nothing to talk about until AJ brought up Fear Factor. It was a good show last night."
Her heart dropped to her feet. She didn't feel angry, buta load of dissapointment was slowly creeping into her heart.Nothing to talk about! she wanted to yell, what about yesterday when you kissed me? Even if it was only a little peck, and only in a brotherly way, that's nothing to talk about? You want something to talk about? FINE!
She looked at him, keeping the eye contact. "So what are you guys over there talking about now?"
"Nothing, really." he shrugged. Tootie took in a deep breath. "I- well, I...um..you see, I like your hair..um, yeah..."
A look of confusion appeared on his face. "You like my--well, uh...thanks. That was pretty random." The normal smile returned.
"Yeah, well...sometimes randomness is good." she gave him a playful smile, "It makes things a little spontanious, a little surprising. You know?"
"Yeah." he laughed. She hadn't really found it that funny, but she chuckled anyway. Then she continued, "Anyway, I do like your hair. It's so thick!" she reached over and lifted a strand of his hair, as if she was just admiring how thick it was. Her stomach flopped. Her plan was slowly falling into place. She let her fingers slide off of the strand, and her hand slid to his face. She kept her hand on his face, her fingers tracing scribbles on his cheek.
His expression was confused, and a little stunned. Tootie forced herself not to smirk in delight as she stared into his eyes. Shecould feel his cheek getting warm under her hand.He was reacting, which was good.Finnally, before she could get scared, shelet her hand drop to his shoulder and she leaned over and kissed him. She kept her lips pressed gently against his. They feel so perfect! she thought. She nearly passed out. And she almost stopped. He wasn't kissing her back! She opened her eyes and broke away from him. He just stared at her.
"I'm...um...I'm sorry. I probably crossed the line." she could feel tears coming to her eyes, and she blinked rapidly as her face quickly heated again. "I was just, um...I'm sorry."
"Tootie, I um...Well, uh..I- that was--you see..." he stammered. Tootie stared at him. What kind of game was he playing? Was he going to pretend he liked it, only to diss her now? She had said she was sorry! But still, she stood and she listened. I'm still standing, she thought. She shut her eyes, counted to three, and opened them again. But she had to immediately shut them; Timmy had leaned over and kissed her. She felt so many things that she didn't know where to start. He's actually kissing me! He...he does like me!
She wanted to melt. His lips were so soft yet firm, and he knew how to kiss her just right. She felt arms wrap around her waist, and she placed her other hand on his shoulder. After what felt like an eternity, she broke away from him. She had to ask him something. Though the slightly goofy grin on his face already gave her the answer:
"Is this a joke?" she asked.
"What, was it that bad?" Timmy looked confused.
Tootie shook her head. "You're not pranking me? This isn't some horrible, cruel prank that you're forcing yourself to go through with or anything? You are doing this because you actually want to kiss me?"
Timmy smiled."Well, to be honest, Tootie..." Tootie braced herself. Whenever someone said"To be honest..." they were ususally very honest. And it was usually a painful type of honest. "...I've wanted to kiss you for a long time. Ever since you di--almost died." he quickly corrected himself.
She smiled. "Good. Because I've been waiting for this since I was ten. So you technically owe me five years of kisses."
Timmy smirked, "Really, now? Well, then you owe me two months of kisses."
Tootie really knew that this wasn't a prank now. Timmy had just told her that he wanted two months worth of kisses!She laughed. "Well, whatever you say."
As they walked back over to where Chester and AJ were, she slipped her hand into his. It felt like his hand was made just for her, a perfect fit. She thought about how she had almost killed herself because of him, and how now, she was getting kisses from him. And Timmy thought about how he had lost Tootie once, and about how he was going to make sure that it never happened again.
Chester and AJ both grinned when they saw their friends walking hand in hand. "Arlright!" Chester grinned, and high fived AJ, who responded with, "Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!"
Timmy grinned again and looked at Tootie. Definitely, he thought, I'm never letting you go.
There's so much I have to say right now. First of all...
I am SO SORRY that it took so long to put up this chapter. I PROMISE that it won't happen again! I was so busy with make up work, cos Ihardly everturn in homework (fortunately, the teachers were merciful enough to let me make it all up), and then we had spring break last week, and I was preoccupied with other stuuf, and suffering from writer's block, and I'm SORRY! I'M SOO SOO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
I especially owe a huge apology to Anime Master Inu, because about two weeks ago, I promised him that I'd have the next chapter up the next day, and it took me another 2 weeks! Dude, I am so sorry. I sincerely apologize! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
And second of all...
I don't know if this should be the last chapter, or if I should put up more. So please let me know what you think. If you think I should put up more, then please let me know what I should write about, because so far, I'm kind of clueless, so ideas if you please. But PLEASE let me know if you think this should be my final chapter or not. I take what my reviewers say very importantly, so I'll consider whatever you say!
A/N: for those of you who don't know what PO'd means, it means "pissed off". But I don't really like using that, so I just say PO'd.
