CHAPTER NINETEEN

An Old Foe Returns

NOTE-I changed part of this story. The new material is at the bottom.

"You mean," said Trixie, "my own grandfather is involved with creatures like you" she gulped and continued, "and he ordered you to kidnap me?"

This time the pixie DID laugh, monotonely of course. This new magical creature said,

"Not hardly, you're grandfather hasn't even properly met us. We've only contacted him over the phone. In fact, we only used him to serve our own purposes."

"And what IS your purpose?," demanded Trixie.

"To take over Fairy World," said the Pixie, "and to do that we had to neutralize one of the most pesky humans we've ever had the misfortune of meeting, Timmy Turner."

"Cosmo, Wanda," said Timmy, "I wish we were in Fairy World."

There was a "poof" and they appeared on the rainbow bridge in front of the sign. A.J. looked in wonderment at it. This was the second time he had personally encountered Fairy World, and it was still an impressive sight.

"Okay," said Timmy, "let's go over to see Jorgen at his office."

"I'll go ahead and arrange a meeting with Timmy Turner," said Jorgen to the Tooth Fairy, "we need to talk about a lot of things, and I will do as you suggested, my little biscupid."

The Tooth Fairy nodded and she said,

"I knew you'd do the right thing Jorgen. In fact, this has probably been bothering you a lot longer than you even want to admit. Otherwise, Norm would not have been able to blackmail you." She paused and then continued, "This also explains why you jumped at the chance to be Timmy's temporary fairy."

Jorgen nodded and was about to say something else when the phone rang. Jorgen answered it.

"Hello," said Jorgen, "Yes, Binky what is it?"

Jorgen furrowed his face.

"Okay, Binky," said Jorgen, "I'll be right there. See you then."

Jorgen's wife looked questioningly at him. The Toughest Fairy in the Universe said,

"It looks like we'll be able to sort this out all in one meeting. Timmy Turner, fairies, and A.J. are at my office, and they wish to see me."

Trixie couldn't help but smile and said,

"Yeah, Timmy is good at outsmarting people. He's also pretty persisitent; he'll go after something even when everything and everyone say it's impossible to get."

"Which is why we sidetracked him with an old friend, and interfered with his attempts to woo you." He gave a "Pixie Smile", an interesting sight in and of itself, "I should thank you, though."

"Why?," demanded the Asian-American.

"Because like you said, Miss Tang, Turner's persistent," said the Pixie, "but I'll have to give you credit, he's been trying to win you for years, but you've pushed him away so many times, had him thrown by a springboard through the cafeteria, from your house and from your front yard, you finally broke him. It was very easy to distract him, because you did a very good job of breaking his heart."

******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, Timmy, and A.J. were in Jorgen's office when there was an "atomic poof" and Jorgen Von Strangle appeared.

"Hello, puny fairies and puny earth children, what do you want?"

"We need to talk to you Jorgen," said Timmy.

"That's convenient Turner, because I do need to talk to you, as well", said Jorgen.

"Well," said Timmy, "before we get started, I'd better let you know this; I think the Pixies are trying to take over Fairy World again."

Trixie gave an angry look at the Pixie, but she couldn't dispute what he had said. In fact, it was the nearly the same thing Chad had told her earlier today.

"Timmy will bounce back; and he will stop you," said Trixie, "I know Timmy a lot better than you think; even when he's hurting, or discouraged, he picks himself up and then you better watch your back."

"Hmm," said the Pixie, "very interesting. Your feelings for this boy seem to have intensified, but it doesn't matter nothing will stop us."

Jorgen frowned up and said,
"What makes you say that?"

"A.J.," said Timmy, "why don't you tell Jorgen what you picked up tonight."

A.J. looked surprised, but pulled himself together and stated,

"When I was on my computer earlier, I picked up a large number of unusual magic readings. I knew they weren't fairies so I crosschecked the information that I downloaded from the Fairy World computer.."

"You mean the information you STOLE from the Fairy World Computer," interrupted Jorgen a bit annoyed.

A.J. looked like he was about to say something smart, but Timmy touched his shoulder and said,

"Be that as it may Jorgen, you may want to hear A.J. out."

Jorgen just nodded and A.J. continued,

"It turned out they were Pixies; there were a large number of them in the Dimmadome tonight, and they apparently disguised themselves as humans. One of them is posing as a godchild named Molly."

The Pixie pulled his cell phone out and hit a button. There was a "ping" and Trixie found herself tied up in what looked like a closet. She, also, noticed there were two people, also, in the closet tied up; A boy with glasses and light brown hair, and a girl who looked just like the one the Pixie was disguised as. This girl, presumably the real human one, just glared at the Pixie who had joined them. He floated in front of his "guests and said very dryly,

"Go, me, I rock."

"Yeah," said the girl, "go you; We've got families as well as godparents. Swizzle will find me and when she does you better look out."

"Same with me," said Dwight.

"Oh," said the Pixie, "they won't find you, but even if they do Mr. Sanderson's human girlfriend, Mary Alice, will be guarding all three of you."

"A human named Mary Alice?", said Molly almost laughing, "why would my fairy godmother be afraid of someone like that?"

"Because," said a harsh female voice, "if she comes anywhere near here, I'll detatch her crown and rip her wings off."

They looked at the source of the voice and it was Mary Alice Doombringer; professional fairy hunter.

Jorgen looked alarmed.

"Are you sure?," he said.

"If the information on the computer was correct, yes," said A.J.

Jorgen looked worried and a little deep in thought. Wanda looked alarmed herself and said,

"Jorgen what's wrong?"

"It's just," said the Toughest Fairy in the Universe, "there's been a split in Pixie World; many Pixies have been unhappy with H.P. and claim he's gone soft. This may have something to do with it. Of more concern is the fact that a Pixie is impersonating a godchild. Binky contact Irving and Swizzle and find out what's going on."

"Jorgen," said Timmy, "I need to talk to you about something concerning A.J., in private."

"Very well, Turner," said Jorgen, "let's go into one of the conference rooms."

"I know you," said Trixie, "You were the substitute for Mr. Crocker when he broke his hand; you claimed to be Miss Sunshine, but then you said you were Miss Doombringer.

"Very perceptive for a rich spoiled child."

"Well, if you hunt magical beings, why are you in league with the Pixies; I mean they're obviously magical creatures."

"Child," said Doombringer, "I hunt "fairies"; I actually like Pixies, they're ruthless and grab whatever they want by any means necessary unlike those goody-goody fairy godparents."

"I guess that means you found your soulmate," said Molly, "although if you are involved with Sanderson, your love life must be pretty pathetic."

"Very well, Turner," said Jorgen when they were in the conference room, "this is fortunate because I wish to talk to you about A.J. as well."

"Look, Jorgen," said Timmy, "don't get mad at A.J.; he was doing this for me. I mean if you feel that you must take Cosmo and Wanda from me.." his voice almost broke, "I guess you should."

Jorgen looked at the boy and said,

"Timmy, I told you at your eleventh birthday party, you were going to need your godparents for a long, long time, and I meant it. Besides, I know A.J. did this on his own so technically you did not break the rules."

''About A.J.," said Timmy, "I'm going to ask you something that I know technically would violate the rules, but I wouldn't ask it unless I thought it was important."

Jorgen said nothing so Timmy continued,

"I want A.J. to continue to help me whenever some emergency comes up. I mean I really could have used him when the Darkness came with his high intelligence especially since I was dealing with robots. I know it's against the rules, but please consider it."

Timmy didn't know whether Jorgen would agree to this or not or whether he'd be angry. Surprisingly, he wasn't.

"I agree with you, Turner," said Jorgen, upon which Timmy breathed a sigh of relief, but then Jorgen continued, "but if A.J. is to help us, he needs to remember I AM the head of Fairy World, and he's going to have to show me respect as such."

"I've already talked with A.J. about it," said Timmy, "I think I got through to him and he's willing to work with you."

"Very well, Timmy," said Jorgen, "then I'll allow it."

"Good," said the buck toothed boy, "now I guess we'd better go to work and find out what the pixies are up to."

"Wait a minute, Timmy," said Jorgen, "I need to talk to you about something else."

"You're one to talk,"said Miss Doombringer, "especially with the boy you're going with; I mean who names their child "Dwight" any more."

Dwight looked down a little hurt. Molly frowned and said,

"Look, looneytune, at least my boyfriend's human."

"I've had enough of this," said Doombringer, "I'm going to guard outside the door. " Upon which the Fairy Huntress stepped outside and closed the door.

"Jorgen," said Timmy, "we don't have a lot of time and we may have already wasted too much of it."

"This won't take long Turner, but it's vitally important."

"What is it?," said Timmy.

"A little while back, I was showing you what life would be like without you,and I need to tell you something..."

"Look, Jorgen," said Timmy a little nervous, "don't worry about it;it's not that important."

"Actually, Timmy, it is, because I have to apologize. I didn't show you the correct context of the timeline, because I wanted to teach you a lesson. But that was no excuse. Without you actually, this world is a much darker place I mean I can show you what the world is really like without you.."

"Jorgen," said Timmy a bit exasperated, "like I said we don't have the time, besides I've already seen....." Timmy stopped himself.

"You've already seen what?," said Jorgen.

"The correct timeline," said Timmy, "the fairy council already showed me the correct timeline.

Now it was Jorgen's turn to be surprised.

"The Fairy Council talked to you about this?," said Jorgen in his Austrian accent, "when?"

"A few weeks after it happened."

Jorgen looked puzzled and said,

"Turner, this isn't possible. The Fairy Council doesn't deal directly with godchildren; that's my job. The only time they'd do that is if there's some dire emergency like if a godchild is in danger..." A chll went down Jorgen's spine, and said in horror,

"Timmy, were you going to do something to yourself because of what I showed you?"

"It's not important now, Jorgen."

"It's not important? Son",(a term of endearment Jorgen almost never used to a godchild), "you all but told me you were going to hurt yourself and you say that. Timmy I never wanted to drive you to that."

"I know Jorgen," said Timmy, "and I'm fine now.

"Are you sure?", said Jorgen.

"Yes," said Timmy, "now we need to get to work."

"You're right," said Jorgen, "get your friend and godfamily in here now."

"I don't believe this," said Trixie, "I had no idea creatures like these Pixies existed."

Molly looked surprised and said,

"You don't; hasn't your godparent mentioned them to you?"

"Uh, I don't have a godparent, but I do know Timmy," said Trixe, "that may be why they captured me."

"Well whatever case, if we're going to try to get out of here, we probably should introduce ourselves; my name's Molly and this is Dwight, what's yours?"

"It's Trixie," said the Asian American, "and how exactly do you plan to get out."

Jorgen, Timmy's godfamily and A.J. were meeting in the conference room which Jorgen had tranformed into a type of strategy room.
"Okay, A.J.," said Jorgen, "Turner talked to me about you helping us, and I agreed, but don't tell anyone else and don't EVER take my tan again and put it in Binky."

"I won't," said A.J.

"Very well," said Jorgen, "in a way this is very fortunate that you know; we'll need all the help we can get especially if the pixies are plotting once again to take over Fairy World." Jorgen frowned. "We're going to need even MORE magic; which means we'll have to get another fairy to help us fight these pointy headed freaks."

"Well," said Wanda, very defensively, "you can forget about using Poof. He's been through enough between the Darkness Incident and that horrible Foop."

"Nagging one," said Jorgen, annoyed, "I am NOT referring to Poof. I speak of another fairy who's in Dimmsdale and who is already assigned a godchild." Jorgen, then shook his head, and added, "And we can probably use the godchild as well, since he has some prowess, that is for a puny human, in battle. "

Chester McBadbat laid back down after looking out of the window. He couldn't sleep because he had been thinking of the day's event concerning Timmy. He had seen Timmy earlier talking to that girl, Molly, was her name, he thought, and he had seen them walking down the street earlier and he had seen her walking down the street alone. He suspected that whatever reason this girl had shown up was due to something exciting happening to Timmy, again. His best friend seemed to always have plenty of action going on around him all the time. He shook his head and let out a long breath.

"I'll guess I'll just be sitting on the sidelines," said the blond boy a bit melancholy.

"You, know Chester," said a voice, "you DON'T have to sit on the sidelines son. You CAN tell Timmy about me."

Chester looked at source of the voice. A possum that slept on his bed. This possum was unusual looking; it was dark brown for one thing, and it had a gold crown floating above it. There was a poof and the possum disappeared and then what reappeared was a youthful looking being with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes as well. Like the possum who was just there, this being had a crown floating above the top of his head. He also had wings and a wand.

"You already KNOW about Cosmo and Wanda, since Jorgen restored your memory, so there's no reason for you NOT to tell your best friend about your fairy godparent."
