No, I'm not dead! I was just really stuck in a rut with this story and had a very bad writer's block. I still kinda do. I've been working on this chap throughout my whole summer vacation and I finally got it done. Hope it's good enough. Darn writer's block...Anyways, I thank all of the people who reviewed my story so far and I thank the people who will review my story in the future. I'm once again sorry this was (looks at last time this story was updated) a YEAR late?!? Oh crud, I feel bad. Oh well, better than posting the chapter any later right? ; So here it is, the forth chapter of my story. Enjoy!
Timmy happily walked outside, still holding on to his godparents who were still books. He look across the other side of the school's playground to see a group of kids crowding around something.
"Hey, I wonder what's going on?" Timmy asked.
Cosmo and Wanda changed form and turned into squirrels. They dashed up into a tree that was right next to the school and their godchild.
"Ooh, maybe the ice cream man is here!" Cosmo cheered waving his hands in the air. Wanda just rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, whatever it is, I'll go check it out. You guys can stay here and relax." Timmy said running over to the crowd.
Cosmo, with the short attention span he has, got bored right away. "What are we supposed to do now?" Cosmo asked. A few seconds after he asked an acorn fell from the tree and hit Cosmo on the head. He picked it up and saw a hole in the tree that was full of acorns. "Hooray acorns!" he ran into the hole and started eating some of the acorns. He then started throwing the acorns up in the air. "My boredom is no more!" he cheered.
"Yeah, you do that dear." Wanda muttered sitting near the acorn hole.
She then saw Tootie and Crystal walking under the tree. They sat down under the shade and watched the crowd from afar. Wanda tried to hear what they were saying, but Cosmo was chewing on the acorns with his mouth open, making loud noises while eating. Wanda hit the trunk of the tree and more acorns inside the hole fell on Cosmo silencing him from making anymore noises. Wanda looked down to observe Tootie and Crystal. She was still suspicious about who Tootie's fairy godparent was.
"So what's with the crowd?" Crystal asked, currently in her dog form. They saw Timmy trying to get through the crowd.
"Whatever it is it's certainly gotten Timmy's attention." Tootie said.
Crystal raised her dog ears up so she could hear the crowd of kids talking. "From what I'm hearing, some girl is throwing a huge birthday party."
"Know who's throwing the party?" Tootie asked.
"Some girl named Trixie I think." Crystal said.
"Trixie!" Tootie shouted. "This I have to see." She ran off to the crowd pushing people out of the way to find Trixie and Timmy.
'No way he's going to another one of Trixie's parties.' she thought.
"What's up with her?" Crystal asked herself out loud. Suddenly, Crystal picked up a weird scent and started sniffing the air. 'What is that smell?' she thought. Wanda froze in place thinking she may have caught her scent. Crystal walked over to the tree and sniffed it. "It's coming from up there." she looked up to see a squirrel. She didn't recognize that it was her own mother. Unfortunately her father's genes were starting kick in, and all she knew was that up in that tree there was a...
"SQUIRREL!!!!" she shouted. She started climbing up the tree barking at the squirrel.
Wanda panicked and tried to get Cosmo out of the tree. "Cosmo we have to go!" She shouted.
"But why? I'm not done playing with the acorns." Cosmo complained.
Crystal jumped on the tree branch and started walking slowly towards the two faeries. She started to growl at them.
"That's why." Wanda said pulling Cosmo out of the tree. They dashed down the tree and started running away from the canine as fast as they could. Crystal jumped down from the tree and chased after them.
While Crystal was chasing them, Tootie finally got out of the crowds way to see Trixie handing Timmy a invitation.
'No way. He's going to go to her party. I can't believe it!' Tootie thought.
"See you tonight Timmy." Trixie said happily walking away with the crowd following her.
"Yes. I'm going to go to Trixie's party!" Timmy cheered. "This time I won't fail to impress her."
Tootie was furious. 'I can't believe he's going to another one of Trixie's parties! He got kicked out and catapulted out of her house dozens of times. Has he not learned by now that she doesn't like him?' She watched Timmy dancing throughout the playground, excited to go to Trixie's party. Tootie started to calm down and then sighed. "Oh well. I better go find Crystal so we can go home."
After 10 minutes of Crystal's game of 'Catch the Squirrels', Wanda finally started to slow down. Cosmo and Wanda were heading toward the front of school where no kids were around.
"Ha! Looks like someone needs to work out more." Cosmo said still running on all fours. He ran into the school closing the main doors hoping the dog wouldn't catch him.
Wanda suddenly stopped right in front of the school. She tried pulling on the door's handles, but a certain green squirrel also locked the doors.
"COSMO! YOU IDIOT!!! LET ME IN!!" she shouted slamming her fists against the door. She turned around to see Crystal right behind her.
"Got you now squirrel." she said in a threatening tone.
Wanda closed her eyes and prepared for the worse, but instead of being attacked like she thought would happen, Crystal just started sniffing her.
"That smell. It's so familiar. It smells like chocolate." Crystal sniffed Wanda again. "Very strong fattening chocolate." After a few seconds she realized who it was.
"Mom? Is that you?" she turned back into her faerie form. "It's me Crystal."
Wanda looked up. She hasn't seen her daughter in a long time. The last time she saw her was when she was just a little girl, when she was just learning how to be fairy.
Flashback
Cosmo and Wanda were happy to give Crystal her first wand. Wanda thought it would be a good idea for her to learn how to use a wand at an early age. Crystal just stared blankly at her wand then looked up at her parents.
"Now dear this is your first wand and we want you to take good care of it." Wanda explained. "When you get older your going to need it for many things like granting wishes for human children."
"Okay Mommy! I will take very good care of it. You can count on me." Crystal shouted happily holding her wand in the air. Her wand was accidentally activated and a shot of magic came out of her wand. The magic went and hit Momma Cosma's house and it made the house blow up. Cosmo started panicking, thinking that his mom was still in there. Coincidently, Momma Cosma came back from grocery shopping to see her house in flames. Cosmo was happy to see her mom alive and started giving her a hug.
"Momma! I'm glad your okay!" Cosmo said happily.
"I suppose this was your wife's fault wasn't it?" Momma Cosma asked clearly irritated at what just happened.
"Oh yeah, cause I'm the one that causes all the misery in your life." Wanda said sarcastically.
Momma Cosma just ignored her sarcasm and started talking to Cosmo. "Honestly dear, I don't know why you stay with this woman let alone have a child with her."
"Momma. You have to get over the fact that I love Wanda and she loves me. I love her and my daughter Crystal and I'll never leave them."
Momma Cosma was never happy about Cosmo's decision to stay with Wanda. Like always she would never get off his back about it. She also wasn't to fond of Crystal. Looking into her grandchild's pink eyes would always remind her of how much she hates Wanda. Momma Cosma was about to say something but remembered that her house was on fire. So instead she flew away from her son and started dousing the fire out with her magic.
"Mom, Dad. What was that all about?" Crystal asked a little confused at what just happened.
Cosmo and Wanda looked at each other then smiled down at their child. Cosmo picked up Crystal and hugged her.
"Nothing you need to be concerned about sweetie, it's just your Grandma Cosma getting upset for no reason." Wanda said then gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, okay. I was just asking. Although, I never really liked her even when she was trying to act nice."
"Crystal!!" Cosmo shouted, surprised to hear her response.
Wanda just laughed, took Crystal out of Cosmo's grip and gave her a big hug. "That's my girl."
End Flashback
She was happy to be able to take care of her and be apart of her life. Unfortunately, when it was time to be reassigned to a new godchild, she really hated to leave her. Luckily, Wanda's father, Big Daddy, was happy enough to take her under his care until Cosmo and Wanda were able to come back from losing their godchild to Da Rules. To see her as a little girl and to see her now as a teenager was a huge change.
Wanda smiled and turned into her faerie form. "Crystal. My have you grown."
Crystal started tearing up. "Mom! It's so great to see you!" she said giving Wanda a big hug. "I've missed you so much! You don't know how long I've waited to see you again."
"Actually, I have dear...I thought about it just now, and also I just had a flashback a few seconds ago...Now please let go of me before I pass out." Wanda said getting the life squeezed out of her.
"Oops sorry." Crystal apologized letting go of Wanda.
Cosmo opened the door slightly. "Wanda is the coast clear? Is that squirrel eating dog gone?"
"Dad?" Crystal said dumbfounded.
"Wanda, who's that?" Cosmo said poofing to his faerie form.
"It's Crystal dear. Our daughter."
"Our daughter?" Cosmo asked with a blank expression on his face.
"Is it that long that already he's forgotten about me?" Crystal asked worried.
"Dear, with the attention span he has now it's a miracle he remembers anything." Wanda said. "I'm sure you just need to jog his memory a little."
"Dad! It's me Crystal, your daughter."
Cosmo just stared at her with confusion.
"Here, I know what will help jog his memory." Crystal said grabbing something from her jacket pocket. "Look Dad. It's Phillip's son, Lesley!" She took a quarter out her pocket and waved it in front of Cosmo for him to see it. Cosmo stared at the shiny quarter for a few seconds. His brain and attention span finally caught up with him and then he was finally able to remember.
"Crystal it really is you!" Cosmo cheered. "And you still kept Lesley with you after all of these years! Phillip will be so happy to see her son again!" He then grabbed Crystal's quarter and his own quarter Phillip. Cosmo was happy to see the two quarters happily reunited with one another.
Wanda let out a deep sigh and diverted her attention back to her daughter. "Anyway, it's really great to see you dear." She floated over and gave Crystal a big hug. "I missed you so much."
Crystal wrapped her arms around her mother and returned the hug. "I missed you too."
The hug lasted for a few seconds then Wanda slowly realeased her child from her grasp."So your finally a fairy godparent, huh?" Wanda asked.
"Yep, I just started my job yesterday. My godchild Tootie is a very sweet girl."
"Well, I'm glad you were chosen to be with a child who really needs a godparent. I know that Tootie is a very miserable little girl. You'll do a great job being her godparent."
"Thanks mom."
"Crystal! Where are you? Time to go home." Tootie shouted walking towards the front of the school.
"Oh crud, Tootie's coming." Crystal said getting a bit upset that she could of been with her parents a bit longer.
"It's okay dear. We should probably get going and return to our godchild anyway."
"But I just saw you and dad again." Crystal whined.
"Don't worry Crystal. We'll see you again soon. I promise." Wanda said giving her daughter a kiss on the cheek.
"Okay. I love you mom."
"I love you too."
Wanda grabbed Cosmo, who was still playing with the quarters, by his neck tie and pulled him near her. Crystal started to tear up again. She really didn't want her parents to leave.
"Bye Crystal! Phillip and I love you!" Cosmo shouted waving the hand he had Phillip in.
After he said his goodbye Cosmo and Wanda poofed away and went to go find Timmy. Crystal poofed and transformed back into her dog form.
"Crystal, there you are."
Crystal quickly wiped away her tears and walked down the school's front stairs to face her godchild.
"Where have you been?" Tootie asked.
"Oh, I was just playing with some squirrels." Crystal said. Unfortunately, that was the best excuse she could come up with. She couldn't tell her about her parents or it could jeopardize their godchild's secret.
Tootie raised an eyebrow at her godparent.
"What? I'm in my dog form. What else was I supposed to do?"
"Okay then." Tootie said. "Anyway, I need your help with something. So let's get going back to my house."
Crystal quickly changed her attitude into a happier one. Although she wanted to spend time with her parents she had to suck it up. She still had a job to do.
"Yes ma'am. I'll help anyway I can!" Crystal said putting her paw on her forehead to show she was saluting.
