Chapter 2

"What am I gonna do, Diamond?" Lexi stood in her bedroom, leaning her forehead against the wall.

Her fairy godmother floated behind her, wearing an expression of concern. She had just listened to Lexi explain the whole conversation she had had with her mother. "I don't know, sweetie."

Lexi groaned and pushed herself away from the wall, rubbing the red spot on her forehead. "Come on, Diamond, you're my fairy godmother. Aren't you supposed to have all the answers?" Her gaze focused on the wand in Diamond's hand, and her eyes lit up. "I got it! I wish I didn't have to go live in New York, and could stay here with Mom!"

Diamond raised her wand dutifully, but it only let out a sad farting sound and wilted in her hand. "Da Rules" appeared in front of her, open to the correct page. The fairy skimmed it, shaking her head. "Sorry, kiddo. The rules say you can't use magic to break a legal contract of any kind. Apparently that includes a custody agreement."

Disappointed, for that had been her one good idea, Lexi sat down on the edge of her bed and put her head in her hands. "I can't believe they never told me this was going to happen."

Diamond floated down to sit beside her goddaughter. "Oh, come on, Lexi, is living with your father for a few years really going to be so bad?"

The blonde girl shrugged. "No…and Mom's right, I do miss my old friends and stuff. But it's not so much living in New York City, it's just…"

"Leaving Timmy behind," Diamond filled in for her, nodding knowingly.

Lexi frowned. "No! Well, maybe a little."

"Sweetie, are you forgetting something?" Diamond twirled her wand between her fingers. "You can see Timmy almost whenever you want. You'll still be able to meet him in Fairy World, or poof over to California when you know his parents won't be home. It'll just be a little adjustment, that's all."

Once again, one of Diamond's pep talks was all Lexi needed to feel better. "I guess you're right. And I really miss my dad. Maybe it won't be so bad."

The blue-haired fairy smiled encouragingly. "That's the spirit, kiddo. And don't you have plans with Timmy in a little while? That'll get your mind off of things."

The smile on Lexi's face wilted. "Oh, no. I forgot. How am I gonna tell Timmy?"

"Well, like I said, it's not like you two can't – "

A loud rattling noise interrupted her, and the two turned around to find Lexi's desk shaking visibly against the wall. The baseball perched on top rolled off and hit the floor with a loud bang. Lexi covered her ears and yelled above the noise, "I wish that would stop!"

But before Diamond could even raise her wand, the desk settled and became still, like nothing had ever happened. The baseball continued to roll across the floor until it disappeared under the bed.

Lexi and Diamond looked at each other in alarm. Diamond spoke first. "Well, that was strange."

"Yeah," Lexi agreed, staring warily at her desk and eerily reminded of the time she had discovered her fairy magic by accidentally blasting two large holes in the side of her house. "You don't think my magic's acting weird again, do you?"

Diamond shook her head slowly. "I don't think so. With all of the lessons you've been having with Astro, it's really unlikely that your magic would suddenly spin out of control like that."

"Maybe it's your magic!" Lexi exclaimed. "Timmy told me about this time before I moved here, when something went wrong with Cosmo's fagiggly gland and he started shape shifting into all these weird things."

"Well – "

"Lexi!" The door to Lexi's bedroom burst open and Amanda rushed in. "What was all of that – what in the world?" Her eyes locked on Diamond, still floating beside Lexi in the center of the room.

"Mom!" Lexi screamed, launching herself in front of her fairy godmother desperately. "What are you doing?"

"What – what?" Amanda pointed a shaking finger at Diamond. "What is that?"

"Nothing!" Lexi yelled, but the word was drowned out by the roof being ripped off of her house.

"LEXI SANDERS," a booming voice echoed around the room accompanied by carnival music, followed by a shout of, "Binky, track seven!" The music changed, becoming ominous as Jorgen von Strangle appeared, towering above them. "You have revealed the existence of your fairy godparent to another human. Now she must be taken away – forever!"

"No!" Lexi screamed as the gigantic copy of "Da Rules" appeared in the center of the room. Its pages flipped over and a sudden gust of wind pulled Diamond toward it.

She grabbed onto the edge of the book. "Lexi!"

"Diamond!" Lexi yelled back, running to grab onto her godmother, but before she could, Jorgen clicked the yellow tube of Forget-i-cin in his hand, and both Lexi and her mother fell to the ground, unconscious, as "Da Rules" slammed shut and disappeared, taking Diamond with it.

When Lexi awoke, she did so in a different bedroom in a different state. Looking around, she stretched and rubbed her eyes, then glanced out the window at the sun rising overtop the endless buildings.

A good night's sleep had been just what she needed…the five hour flight to New York City had seemed to go on forever. Though maybe Lexi had gotten too good of a night's sleep – she remembered flying to New York the previous day to live with her father, but she couldn't remember the plane ride or seeing him at all.

Shaking her head, she climbed out of bed and dismissed the worry. She had just been exhausted after the long flight. As soon as she fully woke up, she would surely remember the events of the previous day.

When Timmy awoke, he did so in his usual bed in his usual house in Dimmsdale. He had already resigned himself to another boring day of school. He had already come up with a list of wishes for the day.

But something felt strange.

"Guys," he called several minutes later as he pulled his usual pink shirt on over his head. His fairies appeared immediately with a chorus of, "Hi, Timmy!" "Does anything about today feel weird to you?"

"Of course it does!" Cosmo said enthusiastically. "You have school today! Eeugh!"

Usually Timmy would have agreed, but he shook his head thoughtfully. "No, I mean other than that. I just feel like something about today is…I don't know, different."

"Don't worry, sport," Wanda said reassuringly. "I'm sure once you see Lexi at school, you'll feel better."

The name seemed to stir something inside of Timmy, seemingly related to the strange feeling he had, but the name was completely unfamiliar. "Who?"

"Um…Lexi?"

"What are you talking about, Wanda? I don't know anyone named Lexi. Maybe I'm not the only one feeling weird today."

But Cosmo was gaping at him, too. "Come on, Timmy, Lexi! You know, Lexi, you're best friend with the super cool fairy hybrid powers who beats up Francis for you? Lexi?" He knocked on the side of his godson's head. Even Poof was looking at Timmy in concern.

Timmy stared at his fairy godfamily, completely perplexed. "Alright, everyone's officially lost it," he declared, grabbing his pink hat and plunking it on his head. "I don't know who this 'Lexi' is that you guys keep talking about, but maybe dealing with Crocker will help me get my mind off of my own weird feeling."

And with that, he went off to school, though the strange feeling in his gut stayed with him for the rest of the day.

Apparently causing a child to lose their fairy godparent and then subsequently tampering with the memories of said godchild and her (former) best friend was against "Da Rules."

Who knew?

Jorgen had been feeling a little bad about messing so much with Lexi Sanders' life – so an angry phone call from the Fairy Council had simply helped him make up his mind to reverse everything he had done over the past day. Actually, they had made the decision for him, but at least he could say that he had at least partially done it out of his own free will.

The toughest fairy in the universe, after all, did not get forced into making decisions.

He stood in front of the glass ball containing all of Timmy Turner's memories, slowly replacing the boy's missing ones from his gigantic wand. He grimaced reluctantly as Timmy's memory ball was filled once more with memories of Lexi and her magic…and all the trouble they had caused.

Fortunately, the one bright spot was that at least Lexi was still all the way in New York, far from Timmy. Though the Fairy Council was also angry that Jorgen had tampered with time in order to send Lexi to her father much faster than originally planned, an old wish gone wrong (made by you-know-who) now prevented fairies from going back in time. So at least one part of Jorgen's plan was still intact.

He then moved on to Lexi's orb, having already signed Diamond's form – the thrilled fairy would be returned to her godchild by the next day.

Hating every moment of it, he gradually returned Lexi's memories, of her godmother, her magic, and her adventures.

But just as he was about to enter one last important person back into the depths of the girl's mind, Jorgen paused. He had gone to so much trouble for nothing. Would the Fairy Council really notice if several of Lexi's memories were simply…altered?

Smiling decisively, Jorgen placed her memory ball back on its stand. Lexi would regain her memory of discovering her fairy magic, her memory of defeating Anti Cosmo's plot to steal her powers, and all of the other multiple adventures she had had over the past six months.

These memories would simply not include anything related to Timmy Turner.
