Chapter 7: "Ricky Returns".

It was like the thirteen-year-old Timmy Turner is experiencing a nightmare right now. But unfortunately, he's not sleeping right now. This is actually a real-life nightmare. Timmy quickly hides behind a wall with Cosmo and Wanda following him, and he witnesses this unfortunate scene. The only good news is that Remy Buxaplenty is still completely unconscious right now. And to think, Timmy used to believe that Vicky is the worst person who had ever existed. It turns out that she was never actually being HERSELF. Timmy honestly never knew before that Vicky is actually suffering a lot more than he has been suffering. If he had known that, like, five years ago, of course he would have never treated her that horribly. And of course Timmy never even thought that it could be possible that Vicky was never born this way. In the past five years, he never once asked her why she is always like this. All he ever got from her before was a "I don't mean to be mean all the time! I just am!" three years ago when they were both trapped inside of a cave together near the Mt. Dimmsdale Ski Lodge And Resort, and she was having a difficult time thinking positively. And Vicky had even trusted her babysitter, Hailey Drew, just like Timmy had trusted Hailey when she told him that his parents hired her to babysit him instead of his usual babysitter, Vicky. He just can't help but wonder what exactly did Hailey tell Vicky to make her want to trust Hailey. Timmy had actually recently succeeded in gaining Vicky's trust, and the only thing that could definitely end her trust in him would be if she started believing in Ricky's lies a second time. And if what Timmy is now predicting will come true, Vicky might never trust him ever again.

"Oh, this really isn't good, you guys. Ricky has suddenly returned now?! I thought that he had gotten married to Mr. Crocker's mother!" Timmy says to Wanda, and Cosmo.

"Uh, Sport, maybe you should be quiet before Hailey suddenly remembers that you are still here right now, and that you're not dead yet," Wanda says.

"Oh, right…." Timmy says, and then he sighs, as he looks at Hailey Drew, McKenna, and Ricky, who is Vicky's ex-boyfriend.

"You're probably wondering why I asked you to meet me here right now… You are my former charge's ex-boyfriend. You manipulated her. You also lied to her. You helped me prove to Vicky that no one will ever love her. You were secretly pretending to love Vicky, and you stole a huge amount of her money without her even noticing until after you finally broke up with her. I need you to do a favor for me now, Ricky… But this will certainly not be easy for you to do, because Charlene Morris told me that Vicky does not want to have a boyfriend anymore… I need you to get back together with Vicky… But you're going to have to step up your game, because she will not trust you so easily right now…" Hailey Drew says.

"Don't worry about this, Hails. I've got this…" Ricky says, and then he starts chuckling.

"Someone is going to have to warn Vicky!" Timmy says.

"I'm way ahead of you, dreamboat!" Tootie says. She just so happens to be standing right behind Timmy right now, and she had also been listening to what Hailey, and Ricky said to each other.

"Ah! Am I seriously going to have to request to have a restraining order against you again, Tootie?!" Timmy asks, as he looks at the twelve-year-old girl named Tootie.

Tootie sighs, and then she stares at Hailey Drew. Tootie quickly starts growling, because that twenty-eight-year-old woman could have murdered Vicky, and Hailey convinced Vicky that no one, which unfortunately includes her own sister (Tootie), cares about Vicky. Tootie sighs, and then she suddenly realizes that she is starting to cry right now. Tootie looks into Timmy's eyes. "There's obviously a bigger problem right now, Timmy. And Vicky deserves to have a boyfriend who doesn't manipulate her like Ricky did to her three years ago," Tootie says, and then she quickly walks out of the Dimmsdale Mall, before Timmy could reply back to her.

Tootie walks into the Cake 'N Bacon, and she walks towards her sister right now. "Vicky? I need to talk to you right now. Please just listen to me, okay?" Tootie asks.

Vicky sighs, and she looks at Tootie. "Twerpette, I'm obviously working right now… Can't whatever it is that you need to talk to me about wait a few hours?" Vicky asks.

"Actually, no. Vicky… Ricky is going to try to get back together with you, and I don't want him to use you a second time. Please, you have to listen to me!" Tootie says.

"Chillax, Twerpette. I'm not even interested in having a boyfriend anymore… Nothing bad is going to happen to me a second time, alright?" Vicky asks, and then she gives one of the customers their order. She places the plate on the table.

"S-Seriously? I wasn't expecting you to suddenly believe me now, Vicky… Thank you!" Tootie says.

"Alright, just tell my boss that I need to take my break right now. Okay?" Vicky asks, and then she walks out of the Cake 'N Bacon.

"Okay! Wow. I can't believe how easy it is for me to get along with her now," Tootie says, and then she starts talking to Vicky's boss right now.

"Ricky… Pfft… I thought that loser had gotten married to Mr. Crocker's mommy," Vicky says sarcastically to herself as she starts walking into a nearby store.

Ricky walks into the same store that Vicky is in right now. "Babe! I've missed you so very much!" Ricky says, as he looks at Vicky.

"Pfft! Yeah, right! What do you want right now, Ricky?" Vicky asks, as she looks at her ex-boyfriend right now.

"It's ironic that you ask me that, because what I want right now is you," Ricky says.

"That is literally impossible for me to believe though, Ricky," Vicky says.

"But I'm not that same guy whom you met three years ago! I've changed now! I promise you that I will never lie to you ever again, Vicky!" Ricky says.

That definitely shocked her, as she continues looking at Ricky. "V-Vicky? Y-You're not going to call me Valerie a second time?" Vicky asks.

"That was pretty selfish and uncaring of me back then, I know. And I should never have stolen money from you either, but trust me, Vicky, when I tell you that I care about you now," Ricky says very convincingly.

"M-Maybe it's about time that I stop forcing myself to suffer," Vicky says.

"So, can we get back together now, Vicky?" Ricky asks.

"S-Sure," Vicky says.

"Excellent!" Ricky says, and then he grins at Vicky.

Meanwhile, Timmy Turner is still inside the Dimmsdale Mall right now, and he is still with his fairy God-parents right now. Hailey, McKenna, and Remy are still somewhere nearby Timmy, Wanda, and Cosmo. But Buxaplenty is still taking a nap right now.

"This is horrible, you guys! I can't let this happen to Vicky a second time!" Timmy says to Wanda, and Cosmo.

"I think that you might be a little too late to stop her from falling for Ricky's deception a second time, Sport," Wanda says.

Timmy sighs. "Tootie's absolutely right though… Vicky deserves to have a boyfriend who will never use her…..." Timmy says.

"And to think, Ricky existing in the first place is actually all your fault, Timmy!" Cosmo says.

"You're really not helping me out right now, Cosmo. If anything, you're just making me feel even WORSE than I already do!" Timmy says.

Hailey suddenly realizes that Charlene isn't here anymore. "Uh, not to sound redundant, but where's Charlene right now?" Hailey asks.

"That's actually the first time that you've asked that question today, Hailey, and I don't know where Charlene is right now," McKenna Nicole Fisher says, and then she looks at Remy Buxaplenty. "This little kid has failed a second time, Hailey, and Turner is still alive right now," McKenna says.

"Oh, forget about Buxaplenty, McKenna. It's about time that I ruin Vicky's life just a little bit more now," Hailey says, and then she starts grinning mischievously.

"Oh, right, because Ricky is obviously worse than Remy supposedly is," McKenna says, and then she starts chuckling as she starts walking outside of the Dimmsdale Mall with Hailey Drew quickly following her outside.

"Hm. Wait a minute, I have an idea right now!" Timmy says, and then he quickly grabs his cell phone. He starts typing in a text message to someone whom he knows.

Fifteen minutes later, the mysterious person replies back to Timmy's text message with this: "What's in it for me?"

"Ugh. I knew this wouldn't be easy…" Timmy says, and then he quickly types in a second text message to this person.

After sending the text message to this mysterious person, he walks towards Veronica, and then they walk outside together.

Timmy is still feeling suspicious about Veronica's honesty though. Maybe there's something that she's not supposed to tell him…
