Chapter 2 – Home Sweet Home

Scene changes to outside of school near the bus stop. Cut to TIMMY walking home from the bus stop, TOOTIE is heard in the back ground calling his name.

TOOTIE: (Excited to see TIMMY) "TIMMMMYYYY (In her usual voice) …aren't you going to ask me to the Spring Fling?" (She says while bashfully turning her head and pivoting her left foot back and forth with hearts in her eyes and a flutter around her).

TIMMY: (Closing his eyes hard, while his back is towards TOOTIE, then slowly opening them as he turns to face her) "Uh, TOOTIE Not now, ok. I need to think about something important. Can I give you an answer later?"

TOOTIE: (Still excited and happy to hear his reply) "Playing hard to get. I see, you don't want to ask me right away. OK TIMMY…I'll play the waiting game." I look forward to hearing from you…"CALL ME" (She screams as she walks away giggling).

The scene now takes place at the TURNERS' house where TIMMY confronts both his MOM & DAD with his problem/situation/dilemma. Hoping that maybe, just maybe they could teach him how to be a better dancer, or at least a possible short-cut to fix his problem with getting TRIXIE to be with him at the dance.

DAD: (Looking cheery and happy) "Hey son…How's it going!"

MOM: (Looking at him with a big smile) "Why so glum dear?"

TIMMY: (Looking as if he is facing defeat asks a question) "MOM, DAD, are you any good at dancing?"

Both TIMMY'S MOM & DAD rush off to the other side of the house.

DAD: (Rushes off to one side of the room and comes back dressed in Carmen Miranda fashion, in a dress with fruit on his head and maracas in hand.)

MOM: (Rushes off to the other side of the room and comes back in with a white sequence ball gown.)

As both are in character and in costume answer TIMMY'S question:

DAD: "Oooooh TIMMY, girls like a guy who can move and shake it to the beat!" (As he is dancing to a samba beat shaking his maracas).

MOM: "Oh TIMMY, what your father really meant to say is, girls like a guy who can slow dance and Wisk them around the dance floor, to make them feel like a princess." (Saying this as she now begins to holds herself and sway to the sound of a waltz).

TIMMY: (Looking at both of them in shock with his one eye twitching as they begin to dance around the kitchen) "Yeah…Thanks guys. I'll be up in my Room." (He walks off slumped down).

Just as TIMMY walks off to his room, DINKKLBERG pokes his head in and says to the TURNERS'.

DINKKLBERG: (To the Turners) "Hey! May I cut in neighbor?"

DAD: (His voice growls in anger) "DINKLEBERG!"

Cut now to TIMMY in his room with COSMO, WANDA, & POOF disguised as goldfish. Seeing how down he looks, they all poof to fairy form.

WANDA: (To TIMMY) "What's wrong sweetie!"

TIMMY: (Looking at his fairies with a defeated, depressed look). "The Spring Fling Dance is coming up, and the only way I'll be able to dance with TRIXIE (and possibly kiss her) is if I stand out in front of the cameras or win the Spotlight dance while "Dancing with Dimmsdale" is there broadcasting it live on TV. And, to make matters worse, I can't wish to be a good dancer, because "Da Rules" forbid any help during competition, and I can't use any magic, because CROCKER will be there to watch my every move, and the moment I make a wish, he'll try and snatch you guys up. So I need to do this on my own. Besides, TOOTIE will probably hound me down relentlessly to get me to go with her, so I have to think about how I'm going to handle her advances too."

COSMO: (Talking out loud to no one in particular) "Ooooh I love dancing! I used to be Fairy Emperor of the Dance" ( As COSMO poof's into a pair of tight black slacks, tap shoes, and dons a black tank top shirt, with his green hair now pulled back in a ponytail to look like Michael Flatley in Lord of the Dance). COSMO breaks into his routine dancing wildly, when all of a sudden; you hear a crack and him say: "OW OW…My Back!"

POOF: (Waves his rattle and fixes COSMO'S back). "Poof Poof!"

COSMO: "Thanks Poof." (And changes back to his original attire).

WANDA: (Looking irked at COSMO for the moment, then turns her attention to TIMMY). "I see your problem sport, but why not just go to the dance and have fun! Dances should be about going out and having a good time with your friends and enjoying the music and each other's company. Adding a competition to see who the best is just spoils the evening for everyone. Besides, if TRIXIE really cares about you, she would dance with you regardless if you won the spotlight dance or not." (Just then a noise is heard on the front lawn).

TIMMY runs over to gaze out the window, where on his front lawn we now see TOOTIE holding an elaborate sign saying, "Come to the Fling with me this Saturday Night TIMMY!" As she calls out his name to the window. TIMMY comes rushing over to see what is going on.

TOOTIE: (Exited to see TIMMY looking at her from his bedroom window). "Hello TIMMY…Have you decided to go to the dance with me?"

COSMO: (Looks towards TIMMY with a smile) "Wow, persistent isn't she? Got to admire that! That's how I got WANDA to marry me." (As he smiles proudly with his eyes closed.)

WANDA: (To TIMMY smiling after hearing COSMO'S remarks and seeing TOOTIE'S gesture.) "Oh TIMMY. Why don't you just go with TOOTIE and have a good time. You might actually enjoy it!"

TIMMY: (looking tired and agitated makes a deal with TOOTIE so he can think of a solution.) "Ok TOOTIE, I'll make a deal with you. How about this, I'll meet you there and save you one dance. If I do that, will you then leave me alone till the night of the dance?"

TOOTIE: (Excited to hear TIMMY'S Reply, asks him a question) "Do you really mean it TIMMY! Do you Promise me you'll save me one dance?"

TIMMY: (Still agitated trying to get her to leave so he can think) "Yes! I promise! Will you go now; I have to think about how to prepare for that night!"

TOOTIE: (Excited about the Promise TIMMY just made her) "Yes! Yes! I will. See you at the dance TIMMY. I need to prepare too…Bye TIMMY!" (TOOTIE runs of smiling and singing praises.)

TIMMY: (Relieved) "There, now I can concentrate on how to fix this problem." (Thinking real hard now).

POOF: (Flies over to TIMMY'S alarm clock while trying to get WANDA, COSMO, & TIMMY'S attention.) "Poof Poof! …Poof Poof!"

WANDA: (To POOF) "Oh POOF, we can't just freeze or make time stand still until TIMMY learns how to do these new dances. Only Father Time can do that." (WANDA starting to get agitated as she continues on) "And I don't want to have to call him in on this and hear any of his bad jokes or famous words starting with whatever letter he likes to hear."

COSMO: (Chimes in too about FATHER TIME) "Yeah, besides his grooming habits are awful! Last time we saw him, he had French fries in his beard, and birds were making a nest in there too. You would think for a guy who has all the time in the world he could make himself look more presentable."

Just then an idea hits TIMMY.

TIMMY: (Realizing what he can do to get better and beat both CROCKER and Da Rules) "No POOF, but I can go back in time to learn these dances and get better in the past. That way I am doing it all by myself without the aid of magic! I can take all the time I need!" (TIMMY finally cracks a toothy smile and raises his hands in joy for possibly solving his problem).

COSMO: (To all in the room) "Yeah…We can go back in time to various eras and let TIMMY learn how to dance on his own." (COSMO now thinking to himself out loud) "I always wanted to learn the Polka (COSMO poofs his magic and his clothes are transformed into a white suit with black polka dots all over) Now all I have to do is connect the dots…POLKA!" (Reaching around himself with a marker to connect the dots with his tongue out, one eye closed and straining as he reaches around himself to connect the various dots on his outfit says) "Hey where are all the numbers…" (We hear yet another crack) "OW! OW! My back again!"

WANDA: (Rolls her eyes at COSMO) "TIMMY, the last couple of times we went into the past, we almost ruined the present…and the future."

TIMMY: (To WANDA) "But this time we won't bother or disrupt the time stream! I'll simply wish to blend in with that year's era and dance along with the people to learn their styles of dance. How hard can that be? Besides, I'll have all the time in the world with the TIME SCOOTER." (As TIMMY smiles confidently).

WANDA: (Deducing TIMMY's Logic as usual) "Well I don't see how that can be a problem. What dances do you need to learn?"

TIMMY: (Thinking hard) "I've seen my parents watch that show, they emphasize a lot of…" (TIMMY pauses to think, and then COSMO interrupts him).

COSMO: (To everyone in the room while talking out loud) "Ballroom dancing the Tango, Disco dance, New Age, Modern dance, & Club." (TIMMY, WANDA, & POOF all look at COSMO with a blank stare) "What? I'm hip…" (COSMO moves both his hands to his hips suddenly, and we hear another crack) "OW! OW! My Hip!"

TIMMY: (Looks at COSMO in surprise) "Yeah that's it! Those dances will help me win the spotlight dance! Then I can have my moment with TRIXIE!" (TIMMY says with hearts in his eyes as he looks at her picture).

TIMMY then makes his wish:

TIMMY: (Looking at COSMO, WANDA, & POOF) "I wish to go back in time and learn how to dance, before the start of the SPRING FLING!"

COSMO, WANDA, & POOF all raise their wands (Poof raises his rattle) and they all summon the TIME SCOOTER. TIMMY hops on the TIME SCOOTER.

TIMMY: (To WANDA) "Now, what year should I go to in order for me learn ballroom dance?"

WANDA: (To TIMMY as she looks up ballroom dancing on the internet in TIMMY'S room.) "The waltz and most of all ballroom dancing was discovered in the 1700's era? So, we should start there."

TIMMY then enters in the time -300 years from the present time. The scooter starts up, but then it beeps really loud and only shows -50 years. Confused and puzzled, TIMMY asks what's wrong with the TIME SCOOTER.

TIMMY: (Puzzled & confused) "What's wrong with the TIME SCOOTER? I entered -300 years, but it will only let me go back -50?"

WANDA: (Looking at the dials on the scooter answers TIMMY'S question) "Sorry Sport. It seems we only have enough fuel in the TIME SCOOTER to go back at least 50 years, since someone didn't fill it up last time we were out." (WANDA looks at COSMO giving him a dirty look.)

COSMO: (Looking back at her with just the same dirty look) "Oh sure…blame me. Why couldn't you have filled it up when fuel costs were down? We'll just have to make do with a quarter tank." (Now screaming out loud while looking up at the sky) "I can't afford premium at today's prices."

WANDA: (Retorting back at COSMO) "Well if you traded up for the Hybrid like I asked you too, we would have gotten more mileage due to better fuel economy."

COSMO: (Retorting back to WANDA with his back towards her, his eyes closed, and arms crossed) "Do you have any other personality besides Nag?"

TIMMY: (To both COSMO & WANDA) "Ok, ok! Can we just look for a place that has ballroom dancing back within the limit of time that I can Travel?"

WANDA: (To TIMMY) "There is this one place we can go to that I know of. So let's get going sport so we can get you the skills needed to win that spot light dance!" (TIMMY and his fairy god parents go back in time to help TIMMY learn how to dance.)
