Today is such a great day! I found out that I got another review! Thanks Rin Fang! Your support and big reviews make me happy!
I don't own Fairly Odd Parents. Jenny is not a character in Fairly Odd Parents. Therefore, I can own her. After all, I'm the one that invented her!
Chapter 11
Timmy stared at the wooden cross until he felt his eyeballs drying up. Blinking rapidly to try and moisturize them, he fearfully gulped. "Why did you bring me here?"
"This place is special to me. I thought I would bring you here. After all, you did something nice for me. I wanted to repay you."
"This isn't where you were…buried, is it?" choked out Timmy, feeling a little bit scared. He was feeling uncomfortable about the fact that he could be standing over a corpse.
"Oh gosh no!" cried out Jenny. "My parents aren't barbarians Timmy. I was buried in the Dimmsdale Cemetery just like the rest of my ancestors. This is just a memorial."
Timmy breathed a sigh of relief and continued to inspect the cross. There was a small rainbow painted on the very top, and wreaths of beautiful white daisies hung around it like necklaces hang on children's necks. Jenny smiled. "Those are my favourite flowers. And they look fresh. They must have been placed here a few days ago."
"I don't understand. Why is this place special? This is where your life ended!" bluntly cried out Timmy. His pink hat had somehow gotten filled with tan sand, and he took it off his head and shook it out.
Jenny turned to face him. "Lake Bigfoot is a special place to me because this is where I saw my first rainbow. I was 3 years old. And this is the best place to see rainbows. Right after it rains in the evening, the sun comes out, the clouds vanish, and the light reflects off the lake. It produces the brightest, most gorgeous rainbows you'll ever see in your life. And yes, this is where I died, and my life changed. But you know what?" Jenny smiled kindly, and a shimmering sparkle that Timmy had never seen before appeared in her eyes. "It didn't change for the worst. I used to think it did, but now I realize that I was wrong. If I hadn't died, I never would have learned things that are important to me now, and I would never have met you."
"Aww!" the fairies chorused, staying in their seashell forms. Timmy didn't know what to say. His mouth opened and closed like a fish for a few seconds, then he finally shut it for good. "Could Jenny actually like me?" he wondered. He was about to ask, when Jenny's ears perked up and she gasped. "Someone's coming! Quick, hide in the reeds!" Grabbing Timmy's hand, she dove into the weeds, and they both fell down. Jenny quickly lay on her stomach in an army style, and using her hands, slightly parted the reeds so they could see who was coming. Wanda, Cosmo, and Poof had disappeared in a poof of coloured smoke. "Scaredy cats." Timmy grumbled, and Jenny covered his mouth with her hand. "Shh!" she commanded. "Don't say another word. Do you understand?"
Timmy nodded and focussed his attention on the people who had made their way over to the memorial. There were 3 of them, one woman, one man, and a 10 year old girl. The man and woman were obviously husband and wife, and they both held stuffed animals, one a kangaroo, the other an armadillo. The couple both had dark brown hair, but the man was almost completely bald, and the woman's hair was in a perfect bun. Her eyes were hazel brown and almond shaped, and the man's were round and blue. They both wore black.
The young girl had blonde hair that went past her shoulders and halfway down her back. She had sky blue streaks that were starting to fade a bit. Her eyes were round like the man's, and as blue as her streaks. She reminded Timmy of a supermodel, the way she walked, the way she held herself up, and the style of her clothes. She was the only one not wearing black. Instead she wore a white T-shirt with some sort of pink picture that Timmy couldn't quite make out. Her jeans were navy blue and had holes in the knees and the shins, and she had on light rose pink platform shoes that looked extremely vintage. In her hair, she wore a flower pin that reminded Timmy of the 60's. The girl held a lava lamp made of brightly coloured clay, and a charm bracelet with at least 30 charms dangling down. All 3 people were crying as they laid the objects on Jenny's memorial.
"There's one more reason that I love this place so much." Jenny murmured under her breath to Timmy. "It's the only place I can now see the people I used to be see everyday. My parents and my friend Hannah."
"These are your parents? And your friend?" Timmy whispered back in surprise. His eyes bulged as he watched the trio standing over Jenny's memorial. The adults looked nothing like Jenny, and Hannah didn't look anything like Timmy had expected. In fact, he didn't really even know what he had expected Hannah to look like. "What's all that stuff?" he asked Jenny. "My favorite stuffed animals, my lava lamp sculpture I made in art class when I was 6, and Hannah's treasured charm bracelet. I was always trying to convince her to let me borrow it, but she always said it was too special. I guess she doesn't think so now."
Timmy and Jenny continued to watch the 3 people. The woman fell onto her knees and started sobbing on the sand. The man stroked her back and whispered soothingly, "It's okay Rachel. She's in heaven. She'll be fine."
"It's too bad you're stuck on Earth." Timmy sighed. "Heaven's probably much better then being here. And your parents probably really believe you're up there, watching over them all the time. But really you can't see them anywhere but here."
"That may be true." Jenny whispered. "But at least I get to see them. I don't like seeing them hurt, but being here, I can help ease their pain."
Slowly, making sure her hand wasn't seen by the mourners, Jenny inched forward, and touched her mother on the arm. Then, with snake like reflexes, it snapped back into the bushes in a silent flash. Jenny's mother gasped and grabbed onto her arm in astonishment. She stared at the cross in bewilderment, and Jenny giggled, the sound echoing around them. Timmy saw Hannah tug on the sleeve of Jenny's father's shirt and say, "Listen! Jenny's laughing!"
"She's happy." he murmured, and then he helped Jenny's mother up onto her feet. With one last glance at the cross, and a whispered, "We love you Jenny." they started walking back to their vehicle, parked a very far distance away. Jenny watched them go with tears in her eyes. "I love you too." she whispered, as they drove away. She bent over the memorial and picked up the charm bracelet and clipped it onto her wrist. She dug a hole in the sand about 6 feet deep, and placed the gifts inside it. As Timmy crawled out of the reeds he noticed some other things there like artwork and more stuffed animals. "You know what I think? Ever since I met you, Earth's been looking a lot like heaven to me." Jenny smiled sincerely at Timmy causing him to look away from the hole. "Me too." stammered Timmy, and then he turned to Wanda and Cosmo and Poof. "You guys, the present!" he said in a rushed whisper. "Oh right!" Cosmo gasped, poofing up a rolled up piece of white paper and handing it to Timmy, who handed it to Jenny. "I drew this for you last night."
Jenny unrolled it after covering the hole up again and cried out in amazement. The picture was pretty plain, a rainbow that ended inside a big pot of gold coins and other priceless trinkets. The background was white, the rainbow and the treasure pot were the only things that had been coloured in. It most certainly wasn't drawn by a well known magnificent artist. But to Jenny, it was as gorgeous as the most beautiful painting in all the world. As she looked at it in wonder, she noticed a messy paragraph of writing, obviously done by Timmy. Jenny read the words in her head. "I am a rainbow, and you are the pot of gold. No matter how far across the world I stretch, I always end up with you." Then there was a little red heart.
"Timmy…" Jenny breathed. It was so touching, that she couldn't speak. Timmy shuffled his feet in the sand, clearly feeling embarrassed. "I just…I like hanging out with you Jenny. You make me feel really happy."
"So do you." Jenny revealed. "You make me feel whole…Complete…Being with you has made me realize that my life doesn't need to be a mess."
"Well you know, if you're still having trouble with that fairy you're living with, you could always pack up and live at my place." Timmy offered. "We have a guest room, and my parents like you, so I don't think they'll have a problem with it. Just…if you want to."
Timmy's kindness overwhelmed Jenny, and suddenly she couldn't control herself. She grabbed Timmy, pulled him close, and the two locked lips in a strong, hard, passionate kiss. It was surprising for them both, but as they stood there, the kiss just seemed right. Timmy's eyes closed happily, and Jenny felt herself unable to stop. Timmy wrapped his arms around Jenny's waist, and she wrapped hers around his neck, keeping him as close to her as possible.
They held the kiss until they ran out of breath. Then, when they backed away from each other, Timmy started to speak. "Jenny, I-"
But suddenly the sky went dark and the wind picked up speed. It blew fast and furious Jenny grabbed her hair to keep it from blowing in her face, and Timmy grabbed his pink hat so it wouldn't fly off of his head. The charms on Jenny's bracelet clanked together noisily. Without warning, a butterfly net crashed over the fairies, rendering them powerless and weak. They all cried out in shock, and Jenny screamed, "What's happening?" over a large crack of thunder. Rain started to fall down hard, soaking everybody instantly. Timmy started to answer, but then somehow a large rope flew from the air, and wrapped itself tightly around his body. He couldn't move his hands and arms, and when he tried to run he fell onto his face with a grunt of pain. Blood poured out of his nose from the impact, and he groaned, trying to get up again. But everyone froze when the sound of evil, delighted laughter filled the air.
Floating over everybody, was Anti Wanda, Foop, and Anti Cosmo. Their faces were lit up with sinister smiles. (But Anti Wanda's looked a little bit more goofy than evil.) She held an extra butterfly net in case the good fairies managed to escape. The captured fairies and Timmy looked up in shock, along with Jenny, whose face paled significantly. "Oh no."
Anti Wanda and Foop stopped laughing and floated a little ways back so Anti Cosmo could have the spotlight. Anti Cosmo looked directly at Jenny and to Timmy's horror, he congratulated her with the words, "Excellent job Jennifer."
