Chapter 8
"Come on, lets go." Wanda said.
"Go? Go where?" Cosmo asked her.
"To make AJ's machine turn us back to normal. You don't want to remain this size forever do you?"
"It might be fun/" Cosmo told her. "We can talk to bugs, we can spy on people without being seen, we can lick ice cream that fell on the ground without being yelled at, we can visit mice in their home, we can do lots of that fun stuff and more."
"Well yeah." Wanda agreed. "But think of the negatives of being small like we can't play tag with Timmy, we can't ride a safe roller coaster, we can't play softball, your fingers will be too small to press a button on a TV remote or a controller of a video game, and we can't reach the cookie jar without putting our lives at risk." Cosmo just looked at her and laughed a little.
"Wanda, I think you forgotten what that mammoth said in that one move slash book.
"What mammoth?" Wanda asked.
"The mammoth in one of Poof's storybook that said that a person is a person is a person, no matter how big." Wanda just looked at him, before she realized what he was talking about.
"Cosmo it's a person is a person no matter how small, and it was an elephant that said that, not a mammoth. Besides elephants don't have tusks like mammoths did."
"Well how do you know?" Cosmo responded. "How do you know it wasn't a tuck less mammoth with a gray body instead?" Wanda wanted to tell Cosmo that some elephants are red, but she couldn't wait any longer.
"If we stay small, Charlie might squish you." Wanda teased, leaning close to her husband.
"Never!" Cosmo replied. "Charlie isn't going to squish any fairies in this family today, or in the future. Now come on, and lets get bigger!" With that Cosmo flew to the windowsill, and headed towards the enormous stairs. Wanda grabbed Poof, and flew after her husband. When they got closer to the stairs, they heard a loud noise. They looked up, Mr. Turner was vaccunmining!
"Quick, up the stairs before we get sucked up!" Wanda shouted to them, over the loud noise. They hurried to the stairs, but they were blown away towards the vacuum cleaner. They screamed, then Cosmo grabbed onto a nearby table. Wanda grabbed Cosmo's feet, and grabbed Poof by the hand.
"I don't want to go!" Cosmo cried. "Immortals who go sucked up get turned into paintings like those gousts did in that one video game and I don't want us to be paintings right now!" Then Wanda lost her grip on Poof, and Poof rolled into into the strong wind.
"Poof no!" Wanda screamed, still holding on to Cosmo's foot. Poof rolled to a corner of the house.
"Mama? Dada?" When Poof saw his mom and dad trying to hold on for dear life, he began to cry.
Timmy went out of his room to see what the loud sound was. He began to go back when something caught his eye. Wait a second, is that Poof over there? Timmy thought to himself. He looked through his binoculars until he saw the crying Poof in the corner. Oh my gosh, it is Poof! Timmy put down binoculars around his neck, and ran downstairs.
"I'm coming Poof!" Timmy shouted. When he was in the corner, he grabbed the little Poof in his arms. Poof stopped crying and looked up.
"Timmy!" he replied when he saw Timmy's smile. He was too small for Timmy to hear.
"Where are your mom and dad?" Timmy asked the tiny baby. Poof pointed his hand at the table. Timmy looked up to where Poof was pointing to. He looked through the binoculars; sure enough there was Cosmo and Wanda looking terrified holding onto the table. Timmy gasped.
"Well Wanda, I never knew it'll end like this!" Cosmo told his wife.
"Me nether." She agreed. "But at least you're going in with me." Then both of them lost their grip and they sailed into the wind, screaming to their doom.
"Dad wait!" Timmy shouted, running towards his dad with Poof in his arms. Mr. Turner stopped the vacuum, Cosmo and Wanda fell to the ground and looked up at the pink hated boy and his dad.
"Egad!" Mr. Turner said. "What on earth is wrong with you boy? Can't you see that your dad is having some quietly time with his vacuum cleaner?"
"Sorry dad." Timmy said. It's just that…" Timmy tried to make up an excuse to tell his dad.
"Well, what is it?" Mr. Turner asked him.
"Um well, you see dad…"
"On with it boy!"
"The dinkerbergs are spying on us!" Timmy blurted out.
Oh they are, are they?" Mr. Turner said, and went towards their house. He turned back around.
"Well they won't anymore when I get through with them!" Then he marched outside. When he shut the door behind him, Timmy placed a dust pun on the floor for Cosmo and Wanda to get on. When both of them climbed abourd, Timmy carried them to his room. Timmy opened his door, and set the tiny fairies down directly across the machine's laser. He let go of Poof, and went towards the machine. AJ has told him how to work it just incase he fond them.
"Mama!" Poof shouted, rushing over to her.
"Oh Poof." She said hugging her child when she had him in her arms. "Thank goodness you're safe.
"We thought that we'd never see you again!" Cosmo told his son.
"Poof, Poof! Poof replied happily. Then Cosmo frowned.
"Wanda?" he said.
"Yes dear?" she said, letting go of her baby.
"I'm really sorry of the negatives commits I said yesterday, I hope you'll forgive me."
"Of course I forgive you." she replied. "If you forgive me for yelling at you."
"Apology accepted!" Then he looked at Poof and ticked him.
"Daddy's sorry he tried to throw you off a little cliff" He said, Poof laughed.
"Hey Poof's laughing without his rattle, that means something good is going to happen!" Cosmo exclaimed.
"That's right." Wanda agreed, holding Cosmo's arm. "Well Cosmo, say goodbye to the ant like world, and get ready to be big again!"
"Bye ant like world!" Cosmo replied, waving to the huge furniture. Then there was a blast from the laser, and Timmy ducked down.
When he looked up, all of his fairies were back in their normal sizes again.
"Yay, you're back!" Timmy rushed over to hug his Cosmo and Wanda.
"And it's all thanks to you." Wanda replied when they were hugging him.
"You know," Timmy said stepping back. "If I never saw Poof in the corner like that, I would've never had found you guys."
"Yeah," Wanda agreed, ruffling Poof's one piece of hair. "If it wasn't for Poof, we would still be ant size."
"You're a hero Poof!" Cosmo told him. Poof just laughed.
A while later Timmy and his fairies got ready for bed. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof were glad to be goldfish, back in their goldfish bowl. Timmy laid his head on his pillow tucked in, and wearing his night gown.
"Well good night guys!" Timmy told them. "I love you!"
"Good night Timmy!" Cosmo and Wanda said together. Then Timmy was sound asleep.
"Well Wanda." Cosmo said. "We're all normal size now, so can we take Poof to Charlie Cheeses tomorrow?"
"Sure." His wife replied. "Anything you say, after all you deserve it after all of your brave work out there."
"Oh thank you! Thank you!" he said. With that he kissed her on the cheek, then he and Poof fell sound asleep. Wanda looked at the stairs. There's no place like home. She thought to her self. There's no place like home. Then she fell asleep between her baby and her loving husband.
