CHAPTER SIX
OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE
Kenneth arrived at Mr. Tang's home with the file in his hand. He was immediatedly was ushered into Old Man Tang's office. The elderly Asian man took the file from his employee, and said,
"Thank you Kenneth."
"You're welcome, sir," said Kenneth.
"Hmmm," said Tang,"very interesting. It looks like it's perfect."

A.J. was glad for his friend, but also frustrated. He wanted to tell him the good news that all of this time, Timmy had been right about Trixie liking him. However, if he did, there was a chance that Timmy could lose Cosmo and Wanda. The young African American shook his head and said out loud,
"You would think having Fairy Godparents is a lot of fun for Timmy, and I'm sure it can be, but it, also, seems to be a lot of responsibility for him."
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Timmy and Wanda were still in the room when Cosmo poofed in. Both of them were glad to see him until they saw the items he had in his hand. Candy, flowers and a balloon that said on it "I Love My Fish Wife". Cosmo immedatedly kissed Wanda and said, "Ain't Love Grand?"
Upon hearing this, Timmy flopped back down on the bed.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rebecca Tang had finished letting off some steam with the tennis game. As she was changing back into her regular clothes in the locker room, she reflected on the exchange she and her family had had. Now that her head had cleared from the shock, her heart started to soften a bit.
"You know," she thought, "maybe I'm overreacting. Like Jeffrey said, it's not like they're getting married." She paused in her thoughts. "She just wants to go to a party with the child."
She was also loathe in admitting it, but even if it became something more serious, her daughter could do a lot worse than Timmy Turner.
"I'm just worried," said Rebecca to no one in particular, "that my little girl will get hurt the way I did when I one time dated someone from outside my class."
**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Very well," said Mr. Tang, "Find where my daugther in law is and send this file to her."
Kenneth looked puzzled at his boss. Tang looked up at him and said,
"Is something wrong?"
"I'm not trying to tell you how to do your business sir, but wouldn't it make more sense to send this file to your son, or granddaughter?"
Mr. Tang shook his head, chuckled a bit and said,
"Oh, Kenneth, Kenneth. Manipulation is a fine art especially where my family is concerned." A pause. "You see both Jeffrey and Trixie are entirely too strong willed to be manipulated; Rebecca, however, is another matter. I'll bet right now she's letting off some steam, and is in fact starting to come around to the idea of her daughter dating that commoner. When she sees this, there's no way she'll let Trixie get any where near Timmy Turner."
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Cosmo looked puzzled at the sudden frowns and said,
"Did I do something wrong?
Wanda shook her head,
"Oh no, sweetie, it's very thougtful of you to do this for me; it's just Timmy had a rough day, Trixie spurned him again."
"Oh," said Cosmo, "You know, though maybe I can cheer you up. At the male bonding session we had, we were taught how to appeal to our significant others romantic side through music. " He poofed up a guitar. "Maybe this Country love song will give you ideas."
"Cosmo," said Wanda "don't. I don't think Timmy wants to her any....,
But it was too late and Cosmo started warbling,
"Oh, I can't help it if I"m still in love with you."
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Rebecca Tang got ready to go home. She had cooled down quite a bit. She would make peace with her husband and daughter and say she was just fine with Trixie going to the party with the Turner boy. As she was about to leave the gym, she was surpised to see one of her father in law's employees, Kenneth, she thought his name was. That was it, Kenneth.
"Mrs. Tang," said the man.
"Kenneth," said Rebecca, "what brings you here?"
"Your father in law wanted to give you this file on Timmy Turner; you might find it interesting."
At first, she wanted to refuse. Jeffrey had always disliked his father's attempts to manipulate him. However, the file had peaked her curiousity, so she reluctantly took the file and opened it. What she read made her eyes open. There was NO way she was going to let that Turner kid get anywhere near her daughter.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Today, I passed you on the street and my heart fell at your feet," Cosmo continued to sing while Timmy continued to look stricken, "I can't help it....mmmph."
Wanda had poofed a zipper over Cosmo's mouth and made his guitar disappear.
"Cosmo," said his wife, "you should be a little more sensitive than that. I mean Trixie practically broke his heart today."
"Oh, I'm sorry, Timmy," said Cosmo, "I just was trying to help you win Trixie's heart."
"It's all right Cosmo, I know you meet well," said Timmy, "but I doubt I ever will win her heart. I mean I know she doesn't love me; in fact she doesn't even like me."
Cosmo suddenly frowned up,
"Timmy Turner, how DARE you give up on Trixie. That is NOT you. You pull yourself together and get back in the game!"
