The next morning, a loud alarm went off right next to Anti-Cosmo's castle, causing him to leap out of bed and hit the ceiling.
Deseray yawned as she sat up, and calmly shut off the clock. Anti-Cosmo appeared with an annoyed expression.
"Oops, forgot to tell you about my alarm didn't I?" she asked with an apologetic smile.
"Quite alright…" Anti-Cosmo muttered as he fixed his monocle.
"What's the alarm for anyway, it's Saturday."
"I'm home schooled. Davis used to be a substitute teacher for high school, so he teaches me stuff. I gotta get downstairs if I want breakfast. I don't know what you Anti-Fairies do in your free time aside from causing bad luck, but there's a library down the hall. I'll come in later."
Deseray headed downstairs, while Anti-Cosmo went to explore the library.
"Whoa…" he murmured. That was all he could say. The library held thousands of books, almost as many as his own.
He took one out and opened to the first chapter.
"Oh, Britain's historic sites!"
He heard a crashing sound and a yelp, and quickly turned into a book and sat on a shelf. A small figure came into view, and he immediately recognized.
"What are you doing here?" he asked as he returned to normal.
"Good morning to you too…" Foop retorted.
"Again, what are you doing here?"
"I was snooping of course, planning ways to get back at the fairies."
"And snooping around in a seven year old's house is going to help with that?"
"I was observing!"
"Don't you have a god child or something? Perhaps Anti-Wanda's could use some assistance, based off her last attempt at granting a wish."
"I had one, but he annoyed me so I left."
"Jorgen won't be happy about this…"
"By the way, why are you happy?"
"Pardon?"
"I watched you two last night, you seem rather fond of the girl."
"You were spying on me?"
"Yes. Don't tell me you're actually starting to care about this girl?"
Anti-Cosmo paused, thinking hard. DID he care about Deseray?
"Err…of-of course not! Don't be ridiculous!" he stammered, crossing his arms.
"Well good. I have a plan for revenge! We can gather the other Anti-Fairies and destroy Fairy World, rule the Earth, and force the humans and fairies to serve US instead!"
While his son was laughing, Anti-Cosmo bit his lip. Normally, he would've relished the thought of having both races enslaved, but for some reason, he didn't like the idea anymore.
"Good idea, right? Of course it is, it's my idea!"
They heard footsteps coming down the hall.
"You should get out of here." Anti-Cosmo warned.
"Right, can't go spoiling the plan. Just in time for snacky time too!" Foop said, Anti-Poofing away.
Deseray walked in.
"Davis isn't feeling good, so there's no school today. Whatta you want to do?" she asked.
"Whatever you want to do."
"Something wrong?"
"No, nothing at all! I'm perfectly fine! So let's away shall we?"
They left the room, Anti-Cosmo glancing over his shoulder one last time, and returned to Deseray's room.
:::::::::::::::::::::::
"This is awesome!" Deseray exclaimed as she jumped off the side of the Grand Canyon.
"Woo hoo!" she cheered.
Anti-Cosmo appeared beside her, and Anti-Poofed them back to her room. She bounced off a trampoline and landed on her bed.
"That was cool!" she exclaimed, flopping backwards on her bed.
"Anywhere else you fancy going?" Anti-Cosmo asked.
"Where do you live?"
"In Anti-Fairy world."
"I wanna go there."
"You wish to see my place of residence?"
"You've seen my place, it's only fair I see yours."
"True. Very well then, to Anti-Fairy World!"
They disappeared in a puff of smoke.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
They arrived at Anti-Cosmo's castle.
"Wow, that's a whole lotta doors. How do you remember where things are?" Deseray asked.
"When you've been alive as long as I have you have enough time to memorize things."
"How old are you?"
"Have you studied Pangaea yet?"
"Pan- wha?"
"The idea that the continents were once connected?"
"Oh that. Davis just calls it a puzzle. Wasn't that like, thousands of years ago?"
"Yes, and they were once connected."
"You're old."
"I beg your pardon!"
Before anything else could be said, Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof came into the room carrying two bags full of candy and other various things from the castle. Well, Timmy and Cosmo were; Wanda was frowning, while Poof was playing a video game.
"This is a horrible idea!" Wanda grumbled.
"It's not like Anti-Cosmo's gonna notice." Timmy snickered, before spotting said Anti-Fairy.
"Uh oh…"
"Hi Anti-me!" Cosmo waved.
Anti-Cosmo was glaring at them.
"Uhh, we weren't stealing your stuff, we were just…taking inventory?" Timmy stated with a nervous smile.
"Yes, I can see that…"
"Aww, look at the cute little round guy." Deseray swooned, indicating Poof.
"That's Poof, he's Cosmo and Wanda's kid." Timmy explained, gladly changing the subject.
"Fairies have kids?"
"A Fairy baby hasn't been born in thousands of years. Cosmo was the last one…" Wanda stated, frowning at said fairy.
"I was so cute that they didn't want another fairy baby born ever again." Cosmo added.
"You caused major destruction and sank Atlantis!" Anti-Cosmo muttered.
"So, if Cosmo was the last fairy ever born, does that mean Anti-Cosmo was the last Anti-Fairy ever born?" Deseray asked.
"Correct child, at least until Poof was born."
"Whatta ya mean?"
Suddenly Jorgen appeared.
"There you are. I have been looking for you."
"I wanted to see where Anti-Cosmo lived." Deseray stated.
"I assume you're checking up on how I'm doing?" Anti-Cosmo asked.
"Of course, well, that, and to see if you knew that a large group of Anti-Fairies have abandoned their god children."
"Why would they do that?" Timmy asked.
Anti-Cosmo glanced away for a second.
'Please tell me he didn't…'
"I think someone may have gathered them to try and start an attack on Fairy World." Jorgen stated.
"You are correct." A British voice said, but it wasn't Anti-Cosmo who'd spoken.
A square floated out of the shadows.
"Who's the cube?" Deseray asked.
"That would be my son…" Anti-Cosmo sighed.
"Son? Ok, after this, we're having a 'get to know you chat'."
"What did you mean when you said Jorgen was right?" Timmy asked.
"Maybe some Anti-Fairies were fine with godchildren-the fools-but some weren't!" Foop replied.
About 20 or 30 Anti-Fairies appeared, surrounding Timmy, Deseray, and the fairies.
"Uh oh…" Timmy squeaked.
"This plan is turning out rather well, wouldn't you say, Father?" Foop asked.
"Beg your pardon?" Anti-Cosmo asked.
"At this rate we'll rule the universe by dinner! Of course we'll have to find someone to cook dinner, seeing as Mother's in the dungeon, hmm…"
"You threw your mother in the dungeon!" Anti-Cosmo exclaimed furiously.
"She said she'd rather stay with her godchild, heaven knows why. All Anti-Fairies who chose to stay with their godchildren are in the dungeon, along with some fairies we managed to capture. Those 6 are going to be new additions. It's a good thing you're not staying with that brat, right Father?"
Anti-Cosmo didn't reply, and looked at Deseray, who was looking at him with confusion. Foop looked at him questioningly.
"Father? You did say you didn't care about the girl didn't you? You haven't changed your mind have you?"
Anti-Cosmo glanced at him, then back at Deseray, then back at Foop.
"Err…of c-course not! I don't about that brat at all!" he stammered.
He glanced at Deseray, and flinched at the hurt he saw.
"Ha, ha! I knew it! I knew he didn't care about you!" Jorgen laughed.
He saw the upset look on Deseray's face, and the angry looks on Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof's faces.
"Oh, sorry. Bad time, right?"
"Good! Alright, take them to the dungeon, and then we'll set to work on concurring the universe!" Foop exclaimed.
As they were herded out of the room, Deseray looked back at Anti-Cosmo pleadingly. He looked back with uncertainty showing.
"I was thinking we should strike Fairy World first, it'll be the simplest, and we can drain their magic…" Foop explained, but Anti-Cosmo tuned him out.
He couldn't bear the look he'd seen on Deseray's face. It made him feel guilty, but he knew he deserved to be. He'd turned his back on her, and he was the only person she'd had to talk to about things she couldn't with other people.
'What have I done?'
