CHAPTER THREE: Not-So-Constructive Criticism
Both at home, Dash and Kwan were talking on the phone.
"Seriously! How could PAULINA like that stuff?" Dash told Kwan over the phone.
"Paulina always had weird tastes," Kwan responded, flipping channels.
Kwan heard silence on the end of the phone, "Dash?"
There was a sound like the phone was being moved, and Dash's voice came through, "Sorry about that. My sister needs help with her homework."
"A B+ student asking a D- Student for help? I don't think so." Kwan said, rolling his eyes.
"Uhhh…. It's PE." Dash answered.
"They give homework in PE?"
"Yes! I, Uh, Gotta Go!"
Kwan heard the dial tone in his ear. It was just as well, considering the conversation had made him nauseous. He unzipped his backpack and pulled out a Wanda plushie, hugging it.
"Oh Wanda, if only I could be open about my slightly off-putting obsession. You know you complete me. One day, I'll stand up to Dash!"
Kwan got up, and logged onto the forum he had earlier demeaned. "A Now, to Update My Fanfiction where you dump Cosmo and Marry a Fairy Version of Me."
He logged in as WandaCompletesMe4, and began typing.
-----
Dash hung up the phone. Slightly nauseous from the conversation.
His Eighth Grade Sister Sarah was standing in the doorway, tapping her foot. "Put it on already! I already got mine!"
Sarah put on a big hat with an image of Tootie hugging Timmy. Underneath it said, 'TootiexTimmy 4ever!'.
Dash grinned, "I got mine." He put on a similar looking hat but this one was an image of Trixie hugging Timmy.
His 3rd Grade Sister, Haley had entered the room looking at her watch. "Come On! Channel Chasers Starts in a Minute!"
"I'm coming!" Dash replied gleefully as he and his sister sprinted down to the den.
-----
Meanwhile, at Star's house…
Star and Paulina were practically wallpapering the entire house with Cosmo Posters. Star's Mom wasn't upset because she was as big a fan as Star was.
Paulina frowned, "I can't get over the fact that me and Sam actually agree on something!"
Star, who was trying to reach the ceiling of her living room, said, "I know. I always thought it was impossible. I told myself that the day you and Sam agreed on something was the day I stopped liking Cosmo."
Star froze realizing what she just said, "Nooooooo! I can't LIVE without Cosmo!" Star fell to the floor and began crying.
Paulina rushed to help. "Quickly, Use these Cosmo tissues to dry you're tears!"
Star looked miserable, "I can't blow my nose on such adorable tissues!"
Paulina looked around for something that was untouched by their madness in making the house a Cosmo heaven. "Here! Use this $100 gift certificate to my favorite boutique!"
Star blew her nose and forced a Smile, "I don't want to stop loving Cosmo."
Paulina softened her usually sharp face, "You don't have to! Cheer Up! You're surrounded by Cosmo stuff!"
Star smiled, "Thanks Paulina! Now, let's decorate my dad's work out room! I'm sure he wouldn't mind!"
Paulina shook her head, "I'll do that. You go and update your Cosmo fanfic. Your story makes me like the Cosmo and Wanda Pairing."
Star raised an eyebrow, "You don't like that pairing! Why!"
"Two Words. Big Wanda."
Star covered her mouth. "Do not speak of such things!"
-----
Later, Star had logged in. She had registered as soon as she got home and had written 5 Chapters of her fanfic entitled, "The Love Chronicles of Cosmo and Wanda."
She glared at the fic listed below, entitled, "Wanda's Better Choice" written by a WandaCompletesMe4.
"What kind of jerk writes a fanfic where Cosmo literally is given the boot" Star proclaimed, "If only Kwan was a fan. I could share my anger towards this guy with him. As well as my fanfic."
Star's eyes widened. "That's it! I'll make Kwan read my fic and he'll have to see the light!"
Star printed out her fanfic to show Kwan at school tomorrow. After that, she decided to review the fic by WCM and give whoever it was her opinion.
-----
Kwan meanwhile was frowning at a fic entitled, "The Love Chronicles of Cosmo and Wanda."
Kwan rolled his eyes, "Who in their right mind thinks Wanda belongs with Cosmo? It's so obvious she belongs with me!"
Kwan looked at the name of the author, "#1Cosmofan06 is going to get my thoughts" he immediately typed a review that wasn't exactly constructive.
