Chapter 2: Party of Three

"Wow! This is your webpage, Stacy?" Cosmo asked, staring into the computer screen. "It looks cool!"

Wanda agreed, "It looks like an adult very well versed in Japanese shows did it."

"This site gets that a lot," Stacy said as she stroked Tom in her lap. "And I didn't do this site myself. My two best friends help out, too. Tootie does the art, and Lisa writes the essays and reviews of the episodes. I just make sure the site isn't falling behind on what's going on in the world of Japanimation. I'm also the forum admin, and did a lot of the avatars; Tootie did the rest."

Wanda cocked an eyebrow. "Not that I don't believe you, Stacy, but do you have any proof, apart from the fact that your last name is the same as the guy who made this site?"

"Here," said Stacy, clicking on an icon that said 'Profile - Yagami-san'. The first thing that appeared was an image of Stacy smiling happily at the camera, with a blonde girl with braces and a pretty Jewish girl.

"Wow, you really do run this site," Wanda said, her eyes widening in spite of herself, "But how do you put up with the popularity at school?"

"No one knows it's me. No one ever reads the profiles," Stacy said shortly, and before anything else could be said, Mr. and Mrs. Yagami knocked on the door.

"Stacy, me and your mother are going out tonight!" Stacy's dad said from the other side. "I'm getting the 'Shiniest Hair Award' at work!"

"Okay, Dad," Stacy replied, "Have fun!"

"Let Vicky in when she arrives!" Stacy's mom said.

"What?" Stacy's heart almost stopped.

"Just kidding, Stacy!" said Stacy's dad.

"We hope you and your Guardian Protectors have a good time!" said Stacy's mom.

"We will, Mom and Dad!" Stacy said. "I love you!"

"We love you too, Stacy!"

Vicky hid in the bushes just across from the Yagami house, smirking to herself as she saw Mr. and Mrs. Yagami get into their car and drive off to who-knows-where. Not that she cared.

"Perfect," she hissed to herself as she pulled out a camera and a pair of binoculars. "Now that the twerp's parents are out, I can take incriminating pictures of her and her GOLDFISH!" Vicky twitched erratically. "Man, I gotta learn to control that." She smirked evilly again as the Yagami car drove off. "But once I show Mr. and Mrs. Yagami pictures of her and her stupid fish, I'll be babysitting that twerp and making her life miserable again!" Vicky cackled to herself evilly for a little bit, and was interrupted by her own hacking cough. After a moment of silence, she bounded across the street to the Yagami house.

Stacy wasted no time. No sooner did she see her parents drive off than she yelled "PARTY TIME!" at the top of her lungs.

"I wish for a ton of candy!" wished Stacy, whose wish was promptly granted.

"And soda!" said Wanda, her wand lighting up as a soda fountain appeared in the corner. Tom ran up to it and started licking from it, occasionally mewing contentedly.

"And pizza!" said Cosmo, a large pizza falling from the ceiling and smothering Stacy. Crawling out from under it, Stacy saw a conga line that Cosmo & Wanda had poofed up.

"Lemme guess, no party would be complete without its very own conga line?" Stacy said, quoting Cosmo & Wanda from the episode 'Party of Three'.

Cosmo & Wanda stared at the young girl.

"You know us too well," Wanda said.

Vicky ran up to the tree beside the Yagami house, and started climbing it. Although she could have made it easier on herself and just walked up to the window, it would have meant she would risk being sighted.

By who, Vicky didn't know.

"Does that little brat think that she can cheat me out of a job?" she growled as she raised the binoculars up to her eyes. Her jaw dropped.

There was a conga line in there, with Stacy at the head. She didn't recognize any of the people, nor did she see anyone walk in the door through.

They must have gotten in through the back, she thought. Either way, she's in so much trouble when her parents find out. Hehehe...

She dialed in Mr. Yagami's cell phone number.

RING!

"Come on, pick up the phone, you idiot."

RI-

"Hello?"

"Oh, Mr. Yagami," said Vicky, putting on a sweet, charming voice again. "I just happened to be passing by, and I saw Stacy with a conga line in--..."

The Yagami's car sped into the driveway.

"Wow, that was quick."

Vicky climbed down and met Mr. and Mrs. Yagami at the front door.

"There's a conga line in there!" Vicky said, feigning franticness. "They must have got in through the back!" She pulled open the door, and pointed dramatically inside. "See?"

But when she looked in and saw the conga line no where in sight and Stacy just sitting at the couch watching TV with her fishbowl next to her, Vicky's jaw dropped.

"Hi Mom. Hi Dad. How are you?" Stacy said innocently.

"We're fine, Stacy," Mr. Yagami said. He turned to Vicky, smiling widely. "Looks like someone's got an overactive imagination."

Vicky stuttered. "B-b-b-but--..."

But Mr. and Mrs. Yagami had already left, and Vicky scrambled after them. Too late, because as soon as she closed the door behind her, the Yagami car drove off.

Simmering with frustration, Vicky glared into the window, expecting Stacy to be doing anything other than riding a roller coaster clearly too big for the house.

Which was exactly what she was doing. And she was quite enjoying herself at that, wooting at the top of her lungs.

What kind of kid is this? Vicky thought. This shouldn't be possible!

Then Vicky suddenly remembered she had a camera. Smirking evilly, Vicky took a picture without Stacy's knowledge.

"I''l show them who has the overactive imagination," she said insidiously, then snapped back, "GOLDFISH!" and slammed face-first into the ground.

"I swear, I'm gonna get a hunched back from this," she growled into the grass, before pulling herself back to her feet and dialing Mr. Yagami's cell phone number again.

"What was that?" asked Stacy, driving a bumper car into the pink and green ones driven by Cosmo & Wanda. Tom sat behind a bumper car-proof glass shield, watching the scene before him.

"That sounded like a crazy babysitter screaming 'GOLDFISH'," said Cosmo, his head turning magically into Vicky's on the last word, then changing back.

"Or a cockatrice," said Wanda slyly.

"Is there really a difference?" Stacy asked, causing Cosmo & Wanda to laugh hysterically. Stacy joined in.

"Hello, Mr. Yagami. I think there's a problem with Stacy, and you better get back right--..."

The Yagami car pulled up into the driveway.

"--...away?" I really gotta ask where they got such a fast car.

"What seems to be the problem, Vicky?"

"This!" Vicky handed the picture to Mr. Yagami.

---

Mr. Yagami looked at the picture. It was Stacy riding in a roller coaster car, smiling from ear to ear. The background looked like the living room wall.

But that's not what he wanted Vicky to think.

"Uhhhh, this isn't Stacy, Vicky," said Mr. Yagami, walking up to the window and opening it up, talking not directly into it, but loud enough so that his voice could carry into it and into the ears of two certain Guardian Protectors. "It's a... a picture of me modeling the boxers we got you for St. Patty's Day!"

And Mr. Yagami smiled in spite of himself when he saw the picture of his darling daughter change into a picture of him modeling green boxers and wearing nothing else.

"But... but... but--..."

"Yes, that is my butt," said Mr. Yagami obliviously, then a stern expression crossed his face. "But you gotta stop trying to get us mad at our little girl for no reason."

"I'll check on Stacy," said Mrs. Yagami, walking in through the front door. Mr. Yagami followed, with Vicky taking up the rear.

"She's just checking on her website," said Mrs. Yagami, the computer and its table having been poofed down to the living room by Stacy's Guardian Protectors. Not that Vicky would have known, since she was outside at the time.

"But-but-but--..."

"Vicky, what is the meaning of this?" said Mrs. Yagami sternly, her hands on her hips.

"Well, uh..." Vicky began sweating tensely.

"Are you trying to undermine our trust in our only daughter just so you can babysit her again?" said Mr. Yagami.

"Um... yes?" said Vicky nervously.

"We already told you, Vicky," said Mrs. Yagami, smiling sympathetically. "We don't need your services anymore. Stacy's old enough to be here herself when we're out. Right, Stacy?"

"You bet!"

"But you need me!" Vicky cried, frantic. "She's only ten years old! How many ten-year-old girls do you see alone for hours while her parents are out?"

Mr. Yagami had no adequate response to that, so he did the one thing he hoped would work.

After all, it did work the night Stacy got her Guardian Protectors.

He grabbed the fishbowl holding Cosmo & Wanda, thrust it in Vicky's face, and cried, "Goldfish!"

Instantly, Vicky shrieked, spasmed violently, then threw herself out the window and bolted down the street.

---

For a span of roughly two seconds, the Yagami family - father, mother, and daughter - looked at each other. Then they burst out laughing, Cosmo & Wanda poofing up just over them, laughing as well.

"That was fun!" Stacy said, holding her stomach as she fought back more laughs.

"You said it!" said Cosmo. "The only thing that could make this better is string!"

Silence hung in the air, then the laughter resumed.

"Never heard that one before!" laughed Stacy.

"Really?" Wanda asked. "You never heard that in an episode?"

"Not yet," said Stacy, still chuckling a little.

"So... how was your night with your Guardian Protectors, sweetie?" asked Stacy's mom.

"It was great!" said Stacy, hugging her mother around the legs. "When's the next time you two are going out?"

"We're not sure yet, honey," said Stacy's dad as Stacy picked up Tom. "But we can plan a dinner together sometime!"

"Cool!" said Stacy, jumping up to embrace Cosmo & Wanda. "Now I can get to know Cosmo & Wanda better!"

Knowing the real Cosmo & Wanda... Stacy thought, giddy with excitement. This is so cool! Tootie and Lisa would never believe me if I told them! I really hope I get to see some more of Cosmo & Wanda's adventures with Timmy on The Fairly OddParents. Season four is starting soon, and I have a feeling it's gonna be even better than before!

(Note: I would have ended this with a scene with Vicky, but it would have essentially been the same as the last scene of the previous chapter, and hence repetitive. Also, Stacy's closing remarks are wonderfully ironic, given Butch Hartman's minimal involvement in many of FOP's episodes from Season Four on.

Well... don't have much else to say. This chapter ended up shorter than I'd thought, but I'm not disappointed in it. It was difficult to bring in Tom at several points, since I don't want people to forget about him. But I think I made it work.

Anyway, may the Force be with you!)
