Chapter 6
Timmy laid in his bed hopelessly. He looked everywhere in the house, but there were just no sign of his fairies anywhere. He sat up and sighed, putting his face in his hands. The doorbell rang then. Timmy then jumped up and raced downstairs for the door. He had a feeling that it was Chester and AJ coming back from the dentist. He quickly opened the door; sure enough Chester and AJ were standing outside.
"Hi Timmy, we're back like we promised." AJ greeted Timmy.
"Hi guys!" Replied Timmy. "So how was the appointment?"
"It was great Timmy! You should have been there." AJ towed him.
"Guess what? I have no cavities!" Chester exclaimed happily.
"That's nice. Timmy told his friend. Timmy grabbed AJ's hand and dragged him
upstairs to his room. "Now come on, I got to show you something!"
"Gosh darn it Timmy, what is it?" AJ asked him when they entered Timmy's room. Timmy let go of AJ's arm and showed them the machine. Chester and AJ looked at the machine, and then looked at Timmy.
"What about it?" AJ asked him.
"I think you machine accidentally shrunk my fair… I mean fish." He told the two boys. They looked at each other confused.
"Uh Timmy?" AJ said. "Fish don't have legs or arms."
"Yeah." Chester said. "So how could they possibly shrink? Timmy thought a moment, then came up with a possible solution to trick his friends.
"Maybe they bumped into the front side of the fishbowl falling, then accidentally bumped into the button, making them all shrink." AJ and Chester still looked confused.
"Come on you guys got to help me find my fish, they mean everything to me. Timmy said before AJ could say anything.
"Timmy, if there're not in the fishbowl they could be anywhere." AJ told his friend.
"Yeah, like once I saw this little clownfish in the sewers, looking for his daddy." Chester said. AJ looked at him.
Uh Chester?" he said. "That was in a movie we saw."
"Oh yeah." Chester remembered.
"Never mind about that." Said Timmy. "So are you guys going to help me or not?"
"What do you mean we?" AJ asked.
"I thought we were going to play mindless video games." Chester added.
"Plans change." Timmy said. "So are you going to help me or not?"
"Fine." they both agreed.
"Perfect! Timmy replied. "Now nobody sleeps until I have all of my fish back in the fishbowl!"
A few hours later, Timmy's mom called them down for dinner. They stopped searching and went downstairs to eat. After dinner, AJ and Chester had to go home. Timmy said goodbye to them and went to his room after they left. He turned off his bedroom light, went to his bed, laid down his pillows, and put his blanket over his body. Will he ever see his fairies again, or will they remain ant size forever? Timmy thought about this, and then fell asleep.
