I have so many stories written i can't post them past enough!
It's that time. Timmy is about to turn 18 and that's when kids are supposed to lose their fairy god parents.
Leaving Timmy
Timmy was now 17 years old about to turn 18 in only a week. That was when Fairy God Parents left their god children, the day after their 18th birthday. Many years ago long before Cosmo and Wanda became god parents, it used to be on their 18th birthday, but it was decided that was a cruel thing to happen on their birthday so it was switched to the day after. He was well aware that he would have to lose his godparents soon. He had dreaded that day and it was hard for him to accept that it was coming closer.
Cosmo and Wanda were in their fishbowl castle one evening sitting on the living room couch. It was also very hard for them to accept that the time was coming closer. Timmy was their favorite god child and they thought of him as their real child. It broke their hearts to have to leave in only a few days. "It's hard to believe we're almost done here," Wanda said.
"I'm not ready. Timmy's our best god child," Cosmo said sadly.
Suddenly Poof, who was six years old poofed into the living room. He flew over to his parents and sat in between them happily.
"Why are you so happy kiddo?" Cosmo said rubbing his lavender hair.
"Timmy's the best big brother ever! We're gonna stay with Timmy forever right?"
Cosmo and Wanda looked at each other. They had been afraid to tell Poof they'd have to leave Timmy one day. They were so close. But they knew they couldn't hide it forever. "Well sweetie, maybe not forever…" Wanda said.
Poof's face fell. "Why not?"
"Well you see when a kid grows up then their fairy god parents have to go back to Fairy World," Wanda said trying to put it lightly.
"And when Timmy turns 18 next weekend, he'll be grown up," Cosmo finished.
Poof's eyes welled up. "We have to leave Timmy?" he said softly.
Cosmo and Wanda nodded. She hugged her little boy comfortingly. "I'm sorry Poof, but it has to happen."
"But I don't want to leave Timmy." He poofed out of her arms and out of the fishbowl. Cosmo and Wanda glanced at each other worriedly and followed.
Timmy had just come into his room bouncing a basketball from playing with Chester and AJ. "Hey you guys…"
Poof flew into his arms crying. "Timmy you're not gonna let us leave right? We're gonna stay with you."
Timmy was surprised by the outburst for a moment. He looked at Cosmo and Wanda who shrugged helplessly. He sat down on his bed and put Poof on his lap. "I don't want you to leave little guy." He laughed slightly. "When you three leave I'll have to do everything myself," he joked.
Wanda and Cosmo laughed and she pushed his arm playfully. "Hey!"
"Maybe we can try to convince Jorgen to let you guys stay longer. You're the best little brother I could ever have and I don't want you to go," Timmy said.
Poof hugged him. "I'm not leaving Timmy. I'm staying with you forever."
Cosmo and Wanda glanced at each other again. They hadn't given much thought until today to how Poof would take leaving Timmy but they worried for when that day came.
The day after Timmy's birthday he was in his room playing catch with Poof and Cosmo and Wanda were sitting on his bed watching. They had packed their bags last night. It was only a matter of time now before Jorgen came to tell them to leave.
A few minutes later they heard the ceiling rumble, a sound they had become accustomed to by now after having him come in so many times to scold them, and Jorgen von Strangle appeared. He eyed Cosmo and Wanda. "Congratulations Cosmo and Wanda, you finally managed to keep a god child for more than 3 years. How long has it been, 200 years since you did that?" he said with a sarcastic tone. He looked at Timmy. "And you haven't gotten them revealed, also very impressive."
"You should have given us a little more credit," Timmy said.
"Alright Timmy, for keeping your god parents for this long you still get to keep everything you have from them," Jorgen said. "And I'm not going to wipe your memory, it'll just fade over time."
Timmy's eyes got wide. "I'm going to forget about them?!"
Jorgen shrugged. "Sorry, standard procedure. Say your good bye's."
Wanda hugged her god child sadly. "I guess this is it Timmy."
Cosmo flew over to Jorgen and pulled out his wallet. "How much do you want for another year?"
Jorgen raised his eyebrows. "You know I don't do bribes."
Cosmo pulled out thirty dollars. "I'll throw in another ten for two years." He elbowed him. "Come on, you know you want to."
Jorgen glared at him for a moment. "Thirty bucks for one year."
Their eyes got wide. "Seriously?!"
Jorgen shoved the money into his pocket. "You're lucky I've grown kind of fond of you over they years Turner."
"YAY!" they all exclaimed embracing.
Over the next year they spent as much time together as they could. Timmy had started college in the fall and they went with him, their fishbowl sitting on the night table in his dorm and he seemed to not care when his roommate questioned it. They went places with him in the form of watches as they had taken to doing for a while instead of him carrying the fishbowl as he sometimes did when he was younger. They enjoyed their time together more than anything since they all knew they didn't have much of it left.
Finally that day came, right after his 19th birthday. They had been at Timmy's house that weekend for his birthday and they were in the empty living room when Jorgen came in. "Alright, I mean it this time. You three have to leave!"
Cosmo flew over to Jorgen again with his wallet open. "Okay, I don't have a lot this time, but how about ten dollars and I think there's some birthday cake left."
"NO!" Jorgen shouted.
"But it's chocolate cake…"
"NO!"
Cosmo held up his hands. "Okay, okay, if you don't like cake there some cookies in the kitchen." He poofed up the box of Oreos. "See? Oreos," he said shaking the box in Jorgen's face.
Jorgen's glare hardened. "Cosmo…!"
Cosmo flew behind Wanda hiding in fear.
"Say your good bye's. I don't like you that much Turner."
Timmy hugged each of his god parents sadly. "I'm gonna miss you guys."
"We'll miss you too Timmy," Wanda said starting to tear up.
Timmy rubbed Poof's head as he looked like he was going to cry. "I'm gonna miss you little bro."
"I don't wanna go," Poof said.
Timmy took off his pink hat he still wore and put it on Poof's head. "Keep it. Don't forget me, okay?"
Poof hugged him. "Okay Timmy."
"Time to go," Jorgen said.
Cosmo poofed up their bags. He looked at Jorgen hopefully. "Seriously, ten bucks and birthday cake for another year." Jorgen glared at him again. "Or not, whichever you like best."
They all gave Timmy a big group hug. This was the worst part of being Fairy God parents, having to leave a child that you've grown so close to over the years. And indeed they had grown closer to Timmy than any god child they' ever had. Cosmo and Wanda truly felt like Timmy was their own son.
Ten minutes later they were still hugging and crying and saying their good bye's and Jorgen was leaning against the wall starting to get impatient. "Can you hurry this up? I've got a meeting in five minutes."
They all glared at him. Timmy hugged Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof again. "I love you guys."
"We love you too Timmy," Wanda said. Finally they had to let go. "Bye," they said sadly.
Jorgen waved his wand and just like that, his god parents were gone.
Timmy lay down on his bed sadly. He'd had Cosmo and Wanda since he was 10 years old. At this point he didn't know what to do without him. He already felt extremely lonely.
Suddenly he felt something under his pillow. He pulled it out and it was a picture of them at Six Flags last year. He remembered that day. He and Cosmo had been wearing Pokemon t-shirts and Poof had gotten on his first roller coaster that day. Wanda hadn't wanted him to but in the end she gave in and he was scared out of his mind.
He looked at the back and in fancy handwriting it said "We love you." He knew Wanda must have put it there. He smiled. He would keep this with him always. Even when his memory of them faded he would still have this with him.
Aww poor Timmy. But the day had to come. It happens to every kid. Luckily they were able to bribe Jorgen for another year. Reviews are appreciated!
