More teenage Cosmo and Wanda because they were so adorable (and they still are)

It's 2 weeks before high school graduation but Cosmo might not be able to graduate.


To Graduate

Senior year was almost over. Finals were done and in two weeks when graduation came, our young fairies would officially be done with high school for the rest of their lives. Cosmo saw no more worries. No more stressing out about tests, no more bullies, no more difficult work. He and Wanda would go to the same college and not have to worry about their parents trying to keep them apart. It was all perfect.

He came home late after going out on a date with her. After taking her home he went home himself and found his mother sitting at the kitchen table. "Where were you?" she asked.

"I went out with Wan…I mean I was out with my friends," he said. If she found out he was with Wanda her rage would begin.

"I got a call from your guidance counter today. She wants to have a meeting with us tomorrow morning."

"Why? What did I do? I didn't do anything wrong!"

"I know Cosmo lo-lo. We'll find out what's going on."


The next day Cosmo sat nervously in the guidance office next to his mother. The old guidance counselor sat in front of them at her desk. She adjusted her glass and looked over some papers.

"What's going on Mrs. Dee? I know my Cosmo lo-lo did nothing wrong to deserve any kind of punishment…" Mama Cosma said.

"Nonsense Mrs. Cosma. Cosmo is not being punished. Well, not the way you're thinking."

Cosmo froze. "What did I do?"

"Cosmo, I'm sure you're aware that your grades were not the best throughout your years here," Mrs. Dee began. "My records show that you have failing grades on several of your finals. You have to take them again and if you do not pass you will not be graduating."

"What?!" Mama Cosma exclaimed. "I know my Cosmo lo-lo is no genius but surely you have something wrong! He couldn't have failed his finals!" Mrs. Dee handed her the papers. "What?!"

Cosmo sighed. He thought he was done with school and he could spend all of his time with Wanda. But now he had to retake his finals.

Afterwards Cosmo wanted to go to Wanda's house and tell her but Mama Cosma wouldn't let him leave. She sent him up to his room and made him study the rest of the afternoon. But instead of studying, he sat on his bed with an open science textbook on the phone with Wanda.

"Cosmo, you can't not graduate!" Wanda exclaimed after he told her. "I won't go to college without you."

"Big Daddy would just make you go," he pointed out.

"I'd make something up, I don't know. But you need to pass these finals Cosmo!"

"I don't know Wanda. It was already hard enough the first time. I don't know if I can pass if I take them again."

"Don't talk that way. I'll help you."

"You will?"

"Of course I will. You'll be more than ready by the time we're done."

"Are you sure about this Wanda? I mean, you could be going to graduation parties and everything and hanging out with your friends."

"Oh Cosmo, I don't mind. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew you might not be graduating with me."

Cosmo spent the next week and a half with Wanda while she helped him study. Half the time Mama Cosma wouldn't let him out of the house so she poofed into his room and they spent the afternoons there with the door locked. Sometimes they went to the park or to Fairy Fro-Yo but it proved to be way too distracting for him. In fact everything seemed to be distracting.

It was the day before his test and they were sitting in his room and Wanda was quizzing him on math formulas. "Okay, what is the quadratic formula?"

"Um, negative b plus or minus the square root of…hey look at that bird!" he said pointing outside.

Wanda sighed. "Cosmo, focus!"

"Huh? Oh, sorry. What was the question?"

"What is the quadratic formula?"

"Oh, um, negative b, plus or minus the square root of…b squared minus 4ac…over 2a?"

"Good job," she said encouragingly. She'd noticed this whole time that Cosmo needed absolutely no distractions and lots of encouragement to get anything done. "Okay, how do you do elimination?"

He picked up a chip out of the bowl near them. "Isn't that when you cross out answers to find the right one?"

Wanda shook her head and sighed. "No, that's the process of elimination."

"Can we take a break?"

"No Cosmo. Your tests are tomorrow."

He crawled over to her and rested his forehead on hers with a sly smirk on his face. "Come on Wanda. We've been doing this since noon." He pounced on her knocking her onto her back and kissing her deeply.

She started laughing. "Cosmo!" They rolled around laughing and tickling each other for a few moments. Eventually she sat up and he sat up as well.

"See Wanda? I told you we needed a break," Cosmo said.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. He leaned in to kiss her but she stopped him. "Cosmo, please focus on this. I don't want to see you fail sweet heart."

He looked down. "What's the point? I'm not that smart anyway. Who says I'll pass?"

She lifted his chin. "I know you will. I have faith in you. You just have to have faith in yourself. You're smarter than you think you are."

"Are you sure?"

She kissed his lips. "I'm positive. You're going to pass all of your finals and we're going to college together."


The next day Cosmo went to school to retake his finals. It was very hard, just like the first time he took them. He was so sure he failed and he wouldn't be able to graduate and he and Wanda wouldn't get to be together next year.

But a few days later he was walking across the stage and received his diploma from the principal.


This is why Cosmo and Wanda have each other. They make each other do better.
