Timmy followed his mom and Juandissimo through the hills toward a rope bridge in the distance. He gulped. He knew how dangerous that kind of bridge was. Then he remembered that his mother was still a fairy. She could carry him as she floated over the bridge.
"Are you sure that this is the way, Mrs. Turner?" Juandissimo asked.
"Of course I'm sure," Mrs. Turner said. "I just been this way, you know."
"Pardon, señora, I did not mean to offend."
"That's all right, Juan. It's been a hectic day." She glanced back toward her son. "For all of us."
Timmy sighed. He wished that Cosmo and Wanda were here. He had tries wishing for it, but hadn't seemed to work. He also wished that he had thought of it before. But it now seemed to be too late. He sighed.
They reached the rope bridge. There Mrs. Turner paused. "This bridge doesn't look very safe. I don't think that Timmy should be walking on it."
"What's the problem?" Juandissimo said. "You can carry him across, can you not?"
Mrs. Turner looked back at her son. "I don't know. He looks pretty heavy."
"But you're a fairly now, my little señorita," Juandissimo said. "You have magical strength now."
"Is that good?"
"Twice as strong as Heracles."
"You mean Herucles?"
"No, that's just a Roman corruption." Juandissimo snorted. "While they had fine language, they very much to mangle names. Heracles was upset when he found out. He's a poker buddy of mine, you know," he explained. Timmy made an annoyed sound.
"Ah," Mrs. Turner said.
"So you have plenty of strength to pick up your son."
"Well… okay." She went to Timmy. "Mind if your Mom carry you the bridge?"
Timmy shook his head. "No, that's all right."
-OOO-
"This is another fine mess you got me into, Wanda," Cosmo shot at her.
The three dark poodles were closing in, and Wanda was at a lose what to do. They were cornered at the end of the box canyon and these animals were out of her league, she realized after running out of ideas. Throwing the pork chops she had stashed in Cosmo's empty head didn't lure them away, and her trick about faking the siren of a dogcatcher truck she had learned once at a party once didn't scare them away. "This isn't my fault, you know."
"Well, it certainly ain't mine, Cosmo retorted. "So what are you going to do to get us out of this one?"
"I don't-" Then she saw a shadow pass over them. She looked up. "This could awhile," she said.
-OOO-
They were halfway through the escarpment when Mrs. Turner said, "This is about where I was so suddenly forced to trade places with Wanda."
Timmy laughed nervously. "Yeah, about that…"
"Do my eyes deceive me?" Juandissimo said suddenly. "Is that Johnny's letter jacket on that branch up ahead?"
"Johnny?" Timmy blinked his eyes. He had never of any Johnnys. "Who's that?"
"He's my new godkid."
"Oh."
"Another fairy with a human godkid," Mrs. Turner said. "Do all fairies have one? Or is it just a coindence that two out of three fairies I've meant are the only ones who do?"
A sweat drop appeared on Juandissimo's forehead. "Did I say that he was human? I don't remember saying anything of the kind? Did I, Timmy?"
Timmy shook his head.
"Well, oh right," Mrs. Turner still didn't sound too convinced. "Let's go look into this jacket."
Juandissimo nodded.
They went to the branch that held the jacket, and Juandissimo sniffed at it. Timmy winced. "Just as I thought," Juandissimo said. "It is Johnny's."
"Who is this Johnny," Timmy asked. "And why would he be in a place like this?"
Juandissimo opened his mouth, probably to answer, but before he could, a loud shriek cut through the air.
"Oh my gosh, that was Wanda."
"I have nothing has happened to my little, delicate flower."
He grabbed the jacket, and they all ran up the dry canyon floor. They ran all the length of the canyon. But when they reached they found no sign of either no sign of either Cosmo or Wanda.
"Wanda!" Juandissimo and Timmy cried as they dropped to their knees.
"Cosmo," Mrs. Turner whispered.
