Chapter Two: My Achey Breaky Heart (Timmy's POV)
"Timmy? Is that REALLY YOU? OMIGOSH!" Tootie ran up and flung her skinny arms around my neck.
I could feel my eyes pop from the lack of oxygen in my lungs. I managed to grasp enough air to choke out; " Tootie! What the hell are you doing here?"
"What's the matter, sweetie?" Wanda asked floating over to me with Cosmo at her heels.
Tootie released me and took a few steps back. I asked her again and suddenly two poof clouds appeared behind her. The clouds dissipated to reveal two female fairies.
"No friggin' way." I thought aloud.
That horrific grin stretched across her face and she boldly announced; "Well, I have fairies too! And I kinda heard you couldn't get into Fairy World without one."
I looked at my fairies and back at Tootie's fairies. The contrast was astounding. Cosmo and Wanda looked practically normal compared to them. The girls were really young and obviously twins. Each had long black hair, sparkling violet eyes, and dark skin. One girl's hair was curly and she wore a bright yellow tank and a hot pink mini skirt. The other had straighter hair and wore a gray sweater and a long black skirt. A cheerful look painted on one face and a scowl planted on the other. At least, you could tell them apart.
"OMIGOSH!" The cheery one cried. Before I could duck for cover, she scooped down and proceeded from where Tootie left off. She yelled into my ear; "You must be the boy our wittle Toot-toot is all-ways talkin about!"
Thankfully, her sister yanked her off me before my chest could explode and introduced herself.
"I'm Jada. I'm goth. This is Juno. She's a ditz." Her short clipped words caused my eyebrows to lift. How did Tootie get her for a godparent?
With the trademark stupid grin on his face, Cosmo pulled Wanda along to shake hands with the sisters.
"Hi! I'm Cosmo! I'm an idiot! This is my wife, Wanda! She's a nag! And this is Philip! I thought she was a he which is why she has a he name then I gave her a his name then found out he was a she but stuck her with the he name so she wouldn't get confused." He held out his nickel proudly as we all stared at him with dumbfounded expressions.
"Ooooooo... shiny!" Juno cried, breaking the silence. She and Cosmo glomped over the shiny possibly gender confused coin as Jada and Wanda signed in perfect unison.
Tootie smiled at me with all her drooling metal glory and I had an itching feeling that the gift box she was holding was for me. As if I wanted it.
"Okay, time to go." I pestered my fairies.
Cosmo tore his gaze away from his treasure and frowned at me. Wanda turned around and gave me her signature look. The " you've been taught better than that and why are you being rude" look. I ignored them as I inched towards them and gave'em the "don't mess with me and make with the magic" look. Holding up their wands, they waved goodbye to their new friends and we were instantly in front of the school.
A pink watch and a green backpack poofed onto me and I was greeted by my two best friends.
In his usual seemly monotone voice, Aj was the first to speak; "Hey, is that for Trixie?"
"Duh!" Chester answered for me, the sunlight hit his braces and nearly blinded me. I hated when he did that. And I hated when Aj asked questions he already knew the answer to. Why did I hang with these losers? Oh yeah, I was also a loser.
"Ooooooh, TIMMY!" That voice... she'd followed me! I dashed up the stairs and through the double doors. Chester and Aj were on my heels and shut the doors behind us.
"Alright guys! Ten minutes til the bell, that should give me plenty to give my gift to Trixie and ask her to be my valentine!" I slammed my locker shut. My friends groaned as we proceeded down the hall and entered a huge crowd of boys who seemed to be centered around something. I managed to push aside two taller boys and caught sight of the center of attention. My face lit up.
She sat there perched straight in her steel chair. Her arms rested on the edge of the long wooden table with her hands clasped together. She had the normally cool and collected look on her face. Her long thick eyelashes created lovely shadows beneath her crystal eyes. She took her delicate fingers glittering with fresh pink polish and ran them through her long, silky raven hair. My gaze fell to her milky white legs crossed in a true lady-like manner. I couldn't help but notice her skirt pushed slightly up to reveal her thighs... drool.
"Next." Like a bell, her light voice rung through the air. I finally noticed the long line of boys waiting eagerly to hand the goddess a gift worthy of convincing her to grant their ultimate wish.
Huh? Where did all this metaphoric poetic crap come from?
A hand pulled me out of my stupor. I was spun around to be greeted by an unfocused picture of Aj.
"Dude..." Chester's voice echoed in my ear.
With a few snaps of his fingers, Aj brought me back to earth. "So, how do you plan to give your present to Trixie before the bell rings?" He asked.
I looked back at the long line of guys and looked back into Aj's mocking stare. Out of instinct, I put on a confident look.
"Just watch."
Chester and Aj exchanged looks. Chester waved his hand towards the crowd and said; "Then get in line."
Five minutes later, I was currently twenty desperate saps behind the table and my beloved. All seemed lost. Then, as if an angel had smiled down on me, several boys in front of me broke out into a brawl, taking a dozen more guys with 'em! God loves me right now. I was automatically pushed to the front behind two kids I didn't recognized.
"Next."
My heart swelled to the size of a bowling ball and beat like an African drum at the sound of her voice. I was practically floating in midair. There was no way anything could bring me down...
"Oooooh, Tiiii-mmmmyyyyy!"
No! It couldn't be! Not here, not now! Not when everything was so perfect!
"Timmy!"
The ear piercing voice was getting closer. I bounced up and down anxiously. My shirt looked as though a bucket of sweat was poured over my head. I needed a way out, but Trixie was still surveying the last guy's proposal. Literally. Apparently, this desperate weirdo was offering her his mother's wedding ring. Yes, what a loser.
"Timmy! Where are you... THERE YOU ARE!"
I was found. The tiny footsteps were shuffling towards me, my breath grew ragged.
"Next."
Sanctuary! I ran as fast as my short clumsy legs could (which was pretty slow), but it wasn't enough. I was tackled from behind and landed flat on my belly. All the air in my body was knocked out of me, I nearly passed out. I really wanted to cry. As for my perfect gift? It was flung through the air and shattered to pieces before my very eyes.
God hates me again.
This is awesome! It's so great to be back on the scene again! Even though, I did enjoy reading other's work and givin' them well deserved cred. Summer's around the corner... which means... more time to write! I'll have chappies 3 and 4 before school lets out and sometime in June, I'll try to have a new Tokyo Mew Mew fic up. By the end of summer vacation, I should have this fic finished and two new ones started! And I'll probably start on "No One Else" again and start rewriting my old Cardcaptors fic that I never finished. I'm gonna be on FIRE! SO LOOK OUT! WHOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
With Sugary high luv,
