"What's the Fairy Squad, Wanda," Timmy asked.

"There a group of fairies charged with ferreting any unauthorized humans from Fairy World. And they're very, very, very good at what they do. You wouldn't want to hear some of the stories I've heard."

"Then where were they when Crocker was running amuck in Fairy World, huh?"

"Uhh…" went Wanda and Juandissimo in way that was eerily similar to the way that Wanda did with Cosmo. It was Wanda who broke the ice. She pointed to a nearby building. "That's where they're headquartered." Timmy could tell that. It was a big building that said Fairy Squad on the front.

"In the middle of town," he asked. "Just how big is fairy world, anyway?"

"As big as we fairies want to be," Juandissimo replied. "It is, as they say, the only way it should be."

"Riight."

"But it's true, Timmy," Wanda said. "Fairies have created this place a long time ago to take care of deserving boys and girls, and since then most of us have sort of moved into the place."

"You mean there's fairies living outside of Fairy World?"

"Of course." Wanda paused. "But there isn't very many of those."

They were turning into a small office. "This is where the Oracle is?" Timmy asked. This place somehow didn't seem to him to be the place that Oracle would reside.

"No, of course. We're just here to set up an appointment first."

"Oh."

They entered a waiting room filled with fairies, some of which had their godkid with them. "Is it always this busy," Timmy asked.

"But of course," Juandissimo answered as Wanda went to the receptionist. "Who doesn't want to poke a hole into the vast unknown that it is the future?" He was kneeling on the floor clutching his hands in front of him.

Timmy felt something poke his shoulder. He turned around. He found a blue-haired fairy who looked very elderly with her godkid, a blonde wearing a pink dress and a red bow in her hair. "You might want to play with Sally here. This is going to take awhile."

"How long have you been waiting here?"

"Oh, about two weeks now."

"We have problem."

"Oh?"

"My Mom switched bodies with Wanda, one of my fairy godparents and now we can't find her."

"Don't we worry, son. I'm sure that Wanda will show up."

"My mom's missing. Not Wanda."

"Oh, I see. You do have a problem, don't you? Just be glad that glad that your mom isn't in Fairy World lest the Fairy Squad catch her."

"Why? What would happen to her if they did catch her?"

"Nobody knows."

Timmy swallowed. "But this was the first place that Cosmo took her."

The fairy's face paled. "I guess that we'll have to help these fine people, right Sally?"

Sally's answer was to kick Timmy's shin. "Why should I?" Then she ran to the Girls' room.

Sally's fairy sighed. "I wish that George were still here. He knew how to handle brats like Sally. Wait here while I go get her." She nodded toward Juandissimo. "Juandissimo."

"Fanny," he nodded back.

She left to go get Sally.

"You know this fairy," Timmy asked.

"Of course. That's Wanda's mother."

"I didn't know that Wanda's father was dead." As matter of fact, there was a lot about Wanda that he didn't know. Like anything about her family.
