This chapter explains some of why Wanda was feeling snippy towards Cosmo. After all, if all females go through monthly mood swings, then with female Fairies, it must also occur…
CHAPTER TWO
"Good Morning, Timmy!" Cosmo and Wanda said cheerfully as they poofed above his bed. Yawning, Timmy looked over at his clock. It read 6:50am.
"Morning, Cosmo. Wanda", Timmy replied. As Timmy jumped out of bed, Wanda raised her wand and poofed Timmy into a clean set of clothes (with the ubiquitous pink ball cap).
"I've got to do an errand, Sweetie", Wanda announced suddenly, "I'll be back in a minute". She poofed out, leaving Timmy alone with Cosmo.
"Well, I see that so far this morning there's no anvils falling on your head", Timmy said to Cosmo.
"It won't be for much longer," Cosmo replied.
"What do you mean?" Timmy inquired, perplexed.
"Well, when girls become women, once a month or so, they get moody and quirky", Cosmo confided quietly, "and its Wanda's time for this month".
Timmy thought about that. He realized that the same type of thing happened with his mother every month or so (which made things rather interesting for his dad).
"So long as I don't give her an excuse to set her off – like making silly comments, I'm okay", Cosmo said next.
"In that case, better get ready for more pain then", Timmy replied caustically.
"Hey, I resemble that remark!" Cosmo said sharply. Just then, Wanda poofed back. Cosmo and Timmy pasted rosy smiles on their faces as she did.
"Well, Sport", Wanda said to Timmy, "It's almost 7 am. Your wish will start taking effect very soon".
"Oh, Boy!" Timmy replied joyfully, "I wish I had that crystal ball so that I can see all the fun!"
Cosmo poofed up the large ball and they all looked at the image within. They could see Vicky sleeping in her bedroom.
"Wake up, Shrew!" Mr. Flannigan yelled as he kicked open the door and threw a bucket of icy cold water over Vicky's sleeping figure.
"Aaaaarrrggggghhhh!" Vicky screamed instinctively, "Cold Water!".
"Well, then, here's something to warm you up", Mr. Flannigan replied, throwing on her another bucket of water – this time warm.
"What are you doing?" Vicky snarled, getting up out of her sodden bed with an evil glint in her eye.
"Well, you said that you wanted to be woken at 7am", Mr. Flannigan said with a smirk.
"Oh and here's the breakfast you wanted", Mrs. Flannigan said as she joined her husband. With that, she threw two raw eggs at Vicky – which broke on her head - then a raw steak which hit her full in the face. Both of Vicky's parents laughed.
"You'll pay for that!" Vicky screamed, reaching over to a remote control and stabbing down on a button. However, nothing happened.
"The nice thing about locks, Vicky", Mr. Flannigan said conversationally, "is that they can be picked". With that, he threw down onto Vicky's floor two ankle bracelets. Those bracelets had been previously attached to Mr. and Mrs. Flannigan and they were capable of emitting very painful electric shocks (which was a primary means of control that Vicky had over them). WAS now being the operative term now that they had been removed.
"That's not the only thing I have at my disposal," Vicky snarled next. She pushed a wall button, which would activate wall-mounted laser beams. However, nothing happened.
"I also took the liberty of removing the relevant fuses from the power box", Mrs. Flannigan replied, "So your little arsenal of weapons has no power. Too bad for you!"
With that, she walked across the room, grabbed Vicky by her hair and pulled her out of the room. Cosmo's and Wanda's spell had also made both of Vicky's parents much stronger, so Vicky could not resist. Pulling Vicky over to the commode, Mr. Flannigan then lifted her up and dumped Vicky head-first into it. Flushing the commode, Mrs. Flannigan then said, "That should take care of the egg on your face. Now, get dressed, and get out. You've got school and you're going to get there on time for a change!"
With that, both parents left the bathroom whistling, leaving a very wet, and VERY visibly shaken Vicky picking herself up out of the commode.
Watching this view through the Crystal Ball, Vicky, Cosmo, and Wanda were laughing heartily.
"That wish was awesome!" Timmy said with glee.
"So is Kevin!", Cosmo replied, heading over to the window sill where the pebble was sitting. Wanda started to make a motion with her wand, but Timmy noticed the gesture and interrupted.
"I wish you had a chocolate sundae to eat", Timmy said. Wanda blinked, smiled at Timmy, and poofed up a Sundae, her intention to anvil Cosmo successfully diverted by the rich chocolate dessert. Cosmo for his part didn't notice. He was much too busy talking to 'Kevin'. Shrugging, Timmy then headed out of the room and downstairs to breakfast. As he left, Cosmo poofed away the crystal ball.
If Timmy had been watching what happened next at the Flannigan's, then he probably would not be having much of an appetite. Tootie had been woken by the sound of Vicky's 'initiation' to the New Order in the Flannigan Household. She had been jumping up and down at the sight of her hated big sister getting exactly what she deserved. After Mr. and Mrs. Flannigan had left the bathroom (with Vicky still in it), Tootie ran up to her parents.
"Mom! Dad!" she screamed, "That was awesome!". Mrs. Flannigan picked up Tootie and hugged her tight. Mr. Flannigan also joined in the hug.
"There, There, Tootie," Mrs. Flannigan soothed, "Vicky will not harm anyone in this house again – if she knows what's good for her, that is!".
"Lets go and prepare breakfast for our favorite daughter, then we'll drive you to school. Okay?" Mr. Flannigan suggested.
As they walked downstairs to the kitchen, Mr. Flannigan asked Tootie, "Is there anything my precious princess would like today?"
Tootie thought for a few seconds, then smiled.
"I'd like Timmy to come with us to school", Tootie replied.
"Consider it done, my Dear", Mr. Flannigan said. Tootie smiled. All of her dreams were coming true.
After breakfast, Timmy was leaving the house and heading to the Bus Stop. Cosmo and Wanda were staying at home at Timmy's request (he didn't like the idea of a mood-swinging Wanda being in his company at school, and despite the threat of anvils, Cosmo wanted to stay with Wanda).
As he walked, He saw a harried Vicky cycling feverously down the street – with a panicked look on her face. Smiling broadly, Timmy continued walking to the bus stop. Just then, a car pulled up beside him, a door opened, and a hand jerked him into the car.
"Ah, Mr. Turner," Mr. Flannigan said as he closed the door, "My daughter would like the pleasure of your company on the way to school". Timmy looked at the back seat, and saw the smiling (and scary) visage of Tootie gesturing to a pillow beside her".
"Mr. Flannigan," Timmy stammered, "Its okay. I can ride the bus".
"It's NOT okay, Timmy", Mr. Flannigan replied, "For I love Tootie and what Tootie wants, Tootie gets!"
With that, he lifts Timmy over the front seat and into the clutching arms of Tootie.
"We're going to have lots of fun together, Timmy", Tootie said with a glint in her eye. Timmy gulped. With the doors locked, Mr. Flannigan watching them both while Mrs. Flannigan was driving, plus with Tootie clutching onto him, he was trapped! The only thing good out of all of this was Mrs. Flannigan driving behind Vicky's bike, pushing her along to Dimmsdale High School.
