CHAPTER FIFTEEN
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
I'm going to try to be a little fairer to Jorgen Von Strangle in my portrayal of him. In case, you haven't noticed, he is not exactly my favorite character, but he is part of the FOP world and one of the "good guys", so I'll try not to bash him quite as much
*******************************************************************************************************************************************************
"I'll give you credit Jorgen," said Norm, "you're much better at hurting Timmy than I am; you'd make a very good filthy genie."
This scene had been playing out over and over in Jorgen Von Strangle's mind ever since he had been forced to let Norm go because of the genie's knowledge of this event. Contrary to what Norm the Genie said, he was NOT trying to hurt Turner. He genuinely wanted to teach the boy a lesson. Of course, he didn't want what had happened to be known, because people might not understand what he had intended to do like Norm had misunderstood.
Of greater concern, though, was the sheer hostility that Timmy's best friend A.J. seemed to exhibit to Jorgen. This greatly puzzled The Toughest Fairy in the Universe. When they were in Abracatraz prison together, A.J. had not seemed hostile to him. Granted, everyone was focused on getting to Timmy and trying to defeat the Darkness so there was little time for small talk.
Jorgen had been monitoring the situation on Earth. So far, A.J. had not revealed to anyone what he, now, knew about Timmy's fairies. In fact, when the puny foolish fairies had "poofed" into their true form in the halls of Dimmsdale Elementary, A.J. did his best to cover for them so neither Trixie nor Chester would see them. So, apparently, the reason that A.J. had made him and Turner immune to the memory wipe was genuine concern for his best friend.
However, Jorgen was still concerned. Although he, in a way, admired A.J. for being willing to stand up to him, Jorgen was well aware of his own temper. Any altercation between them would result in everyone losing; and likely the one who would be caught in the middle and hurt the most would be Timmy.
"I'm going to have to talk to Timmy Turner about this," said Jorgen, "before this gets out of hand."

Trixie was at her vanity and looking at the picture of Timmy again. She was thinking about what Chad had said. Had she really treated Timmy that badly. Trixie shook her hand and said to herself,
"Now, I wouldn't be asking that question if I didn't already know the answer to it. That guy has really put his heart on the line time and time again."
She looked down a bit embarrassed and sad. She had to admit anyone else would have given up long ago.
Trixie held her head up and said,
"I WILL win you back, Timmy Turner. I didn't realize it until we almost lost you to the Darkness, but you're the best thing that has ever happened to me."
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Timmy plopped down on his bed, quite happy. This evening with Molly had gone pretty well. He appreciated Molly's sense of humor. She really had him going when she tricked him into thinking he was insulting her. He would get her back though.
His Godfamily poofed out of the fishbowl.
"Poof, poof," said his baby godbrother, upon which Timmy hugged him and and ruffled what little hair the baby fairy had. Cosmo and Wanda smiled. It was moments like this, when Poof and Timmy bonded with each other that warmed the Godparents hearts. Wanda spoke first,
"So, how was the, uh, "date" with Molly."
"Great," said Timmy, "I had a good time; Molly's a cool girl. She has an "edge" on her, but that's what's so appealing about her."
"So, you had an "awesome" time then,"said Cosmo.
"Oh yeah," said Timmy, "it was great."
However, upon saying that, Timmy got this nagging feeling. He didn't share it with his godfamily.
"In fact," Timmy thought to himself, "it was almost too good to be true."
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Molly was walking down the street when she met a floating being with a pointed head and sunglasses. Molly pulled out a cell phone, and pushed a button upon which she, also, became a being with sunglasses and a pointed head.
"Well," said the first being, "how'd it go?"
"Very well, Mr. Sanderson," said "Molly", although it clearly was NOT the real Molly, "Turner is about to fall right into our trap; and we'll finally gain control of Fairy World"
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
Timmy shook his head. He was just being paranoid. Wanda noticed this and then asked with concern,
"Is something wrong, sport?"
"It's nothing. I guess things have been going so rough for me, I have a hard time believing things could actually go good," said their Godchild.
"I know," said Wanda, "it's been rough on you, but hey it looks like things are looking up for you finally. I mean even your parents have been trying to be better to you."
"Yeah, they are," said Timmy, "I guess I should just enjoy these pleasant things and not worry."
"Sure," said Cosmo, "I mean just because Trixie chewed your heart up and spit it out and then stomped on it and then flushed it down the toilet doesn't mean you can't enjoy the very few good things you have and they are few....,Mpppgh'
A zipper appeared over Cosmo's mouth and both Poof and Wanda were glaring at him
Timmy shook his head. He did have to chuckle a little.
"It's all right, guys. I'm in such a good mood, that I don't think anything could get me down."

A.J. was in front of his computer. That was the SECOND time tonight that he'd gotten a strange reading. The disturbance was really large the first time he'd encountered it. Interestingly enough, it had been emanating from the Dimmodome. This reading was much smaller, but it was there. It looked like it was a magical reading, but it was clearly NOT a fairy. He went ahead and attempted to download the reading. Strangely, when he did that, it uploaded the Fairy History program. It started showing information on the screen and finally it sorted all the information out. And it, in fact, identified exactly what that this magical readings were.
"Pixies," said A.J. in amazement
