CHAPTER FIVE: FIGHT OR FLIGHT

"MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH! MUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH!

Remy looked around; he remembered that noise. He just couldn't put his finger on exactly what it was. It was back at the F.U.N. academy during those games….,, Wait it couldn't be..,

And that's when Chester erupted out of a front lawn, jumped and bit Remy on the leg.

***********************************************************************************************************************

The Turners station wagon was rounding the corner and their house was coming into view. Mrs. Turner looked out the window and said,

"Oh look you two, the Dinkelbergs must be holding another "Boys with Braces biting Boys who wear Dresses game again."

"Huh,?" said Timmy looking out the window in the direction his mother was looking.

***************************************************************************************************************************************

"YEEEEEOOOOUUUCCHHHHHHHH!" screamed Remy. This kid Chester might be an idiot, but he had one powerful bite.

"That's for trying to kill Timmy," said Chester.

Then A.J. punched Remy sending him spawrling on the ground.

"And that's for trying to kill Timmy, also, as well as trying to kiss me!"

Remy jerked back up and attempted to run away.

Timmy looked out of the station wagon window and squinted his eyes. There was a boy in a dress and he was being pursued by Chester and A.J.? Then he recognized the boy in the dress.

"That's Remy!" Timmy looked down at the three drawings on his cast who were in actuality Cosmo, Wanda and Poof. "I wish the police were here." Cosmo flicked his wand and the police cars surrounded the TURNER'S STATION WAGON.

"Yikes," said Mr. Turner to his wife, "I told you not to take those salt packets from the restaurant!"

Timmy glared down at Cosmo, who looked sheepish. "I meant I wanted them to surround Remy," the bucked toothed boy looking very annoyed with his Fairy Godfather.

Remy, Chester and A.J. heard the sirens and looked at the police cars that were surrounding the Turner's station wagon.

"Now's my chance," thought Remy as he slipped under an opening under the sidewalk and got away.

"Okay," said Cosmo, and flicked his wand and the cars now surrounded Chester and A.J. and there was no sign of Remy.

"Yikes," said Chester, "I told pa we shouldn't do our grocery shopping at the zoo!"

Timmy glared down at Cosmo again, and said,

"Wanda, I wish the police were gone!"

They all poofed away.

"That was weird," said Chester.

"Yeah, it was," said A.J., although he suspected he knew who caused it.

A.J. looked around, and said,

"Wait a minute, where's Remy?" Chester and A.J. both looked at each other and groaned. He had gotten away, AGAIN.

***********************************************************************************************************************************************

"This is Chet Ubetcha on channel 7 news reporting that Remy Buxaplenty who is alleged to have attempted to murder Timmy Turner has been spotted in Dimmsdale at the Turner house. This cross dressing fiend is still on the lam. DO NOT approach him. He has been alleged to have been guilty of MANY crimes including kidnapping, assault, attempted murder, and the fashion crime of having high heels that don't match his dress."

Norm looked up at the T.V. in his prison cell,

"What," he said, "those pumps do SO totally match." The genie shook his head. "Well what do you expect from a talking head whose sense of fashion is a grey suit with a red tie."

Norm looked straight at Jorgen, and said,

"Now, do you believe me. You've got to let me out!"

"And I suppose if I were to let you out, even if you were to try and stop Buxaplenty, you'll still try to jerk Timmy's godparents away from him."

"Well, duh," said Norm and he almost immediatedly regretted saying that when he saw Jorgen's angry look.

"And that's WHY you filthy genie, you're going to rot in here for a very long time."

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

After giving their statements to the police, who had been contacted properly through the telephone after Mr. Turner hid the salt packets, Chester and A.J. and the other kids still decided to have the get together for Timmy. For one thing, everyone was concerned about Remy coming back and trying to hurt Timmy. A crowd would likely be the best deterrent to protect the young boy. Also, everyone wanted this buck toothed boy's spirits picked up.

Timmy came in on his crutch, he had only one under his right shoulder, since his left arm was broken. However, Chester stood at his left and helped him to maintain his balance until he got to the chair.

"Welcome back, Timmy," said everyone after he sat down.

Mrs. Turner hugged Timmy a bit and said,

"We're glad you're safe, son."

Timmy had another sense of Deja Vu, because this was very similiar to when he'd been rescued from the darkness and came back to the "Timmy Cave."

"Thanks, everyone," said Timmy, "I'm glad to be back." He tried to smile.

A.J. looked at his best friend with concern. Timmy looked thin and weak. In addition to this, when A.J. looked in his blue eyes, he saw discouragement and exhaustion. The events of the last fews months including what happned with the darkness were really weighing on him. A.J. was going to keep his promise to help his friend. Maybe they could talk later.

"So Turner," said Chad light heartedly to Timmy, "I see you'd do anything to get us popular kids to associate with you even getting yourself kidnapped and almost killed."

Timmy laughed a bit, "Well you know how stubborn I can be."

Then Chad turned serious, "Timmy, I'm glad you're all right. Buxaplenty had no right to do that to you. And don't worry I'm sure they'll find him."

"I hope so," said Timmy, "but right now all I want to do is just get back my normal life, or at least as normal as my life can be."

***************************************************************************************************************************

After about three hours, the party broke up. Timmy was getting even more tired than he already was and everyone saw it. Plus, it was almost 5:00 P.M. nearly time for supper at most people's houses in Dimmsdale. Chester and A.J. were finally the only two left. Both of them had decided to stay and help clean up. Plus Chester and A.J both wanted some time with him as their friend. There was usually always a crowd around Timmy these last few weeks and they both wanted to talk to him and vice versa.

After cleaning everything up, Chester and A.J. helped Timmy up the stairs to his room and helped him to sit on his bed. Chester and A.J. sat in two chairs across from him.

"Thanks, guys," said Timmy, " I really owe you for helping me." He paused and looked at A.J with concern. "Your stomach okay from that punch Buxaplenty gave you."

A.J. nodded. "I've had worse. Remember, Timmy, Francis wouldn't just pound on you."

"I guess not," said Timmy slightly smiling.

"Chester and I really more concerned about you," said A.J., "I know it's been a rough few weeks for you."

"Yeah, but I'll be okay. I'm always okay."

Chester looked at A.J. The blond headed boy was getting really worried about his friend. Chester was not always the most perceptive person in the world, but even he knew that Timmy was uncharacteristically down.

"Dude," said Chester, "try to pick up. I'm sure they'll find Remy."

Timmy looked down and said, "Oh, they will, but I get the feeling that Remy will find me first."

*********************************************************************************************************************************

Remy listened to the conversation on his monitor. The bug he put in the Turner house had not been discovered. He smiled when he heard what Timmy said.

"Oh, yes, Timmy Turner, I WILL find you first. And even if I do get put in jail, it'll be all worth it to watch you die in agony."
