Chapter 17

Everyone crowded around Timmy to stare at Jenny. "Oh my." Anti Cosmo gasped under his breath. Poof whimpered and started to rush forward to grab onto Jenny, but Wanda held him back. "No Sweetie." she murmured. Cosmo's eyes started to well up with tears. He sniffed and wiped them away.

"What's everybody looking at?" Jenny whispered in confusion, completely unaware of what had happened. "Jenny, your life chain…" Wanda started to speak, then trailed off.

Jenny frowned. "What?" She put her hand to her neck, and instantly tensed up when she felt the break in her choker. "Oh." she spoke as the realization sunk in. "That's why I feel like I've been hit by a train."

"You're in pain!" Timmy cried out in horror. "It's not that bad Timmy. My body's just-" As she was speaking, suddenly Jenny took a long, shuddering breath in. Everybody winced visibly. From that breath, they could all tell that Jenny had been lying when she said, "It's not that bad."

"Slowly shutting down." Jenny finished her sentence. "So I'm getting weaker."

"Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, I wish-" Timmy started to make a wish, but before he could finish making his wish, Jenny interrupted him. "Don't even try Timmy. I know you remember what I told you about my life chain."

Unfortunately, Timmy did. He had already known it wouldn't work when he started to make the wish. He had just wanted to stay hopeful. Now he felt utterly hopeless.

Flashback

"Listen," he said. "When you're a Bornagain, you must wear a life chain. It's what keeps you here. If anything happens to it, you will die again. And this time, nobody will be able to bring you back."

Those words were always in his head. They were one of the reasons he felt more comfortable being with Jenny. He felt like he could keep her from harm when he was with her. His biggest fear once discovering Jenny was a Bornagain was that her life chain would snap. Now it had happened, and there was absolutely nothing he could do to help her.

"Well, this is very touching and sad and all." Anti Cosmo finally spoke up, his voice returning to it's arrogant, normal self. "But why don't you 4 go back home. I'll repair my castle, and take care of Jenny here."

"No way Anti Jerk!" Wanda cried out in anger. "We're staying here."

"But…This is my property!" Anti Cosmo complained, shocked that nobody was listening to him. Why didn't they think of him as a force to be feared? After all, he was an evil genius!

But instead of listening to him, Wanda flew straight up into his face. Her curly pink hair turned into a conflagration, the flames burning wildly, even though it didn't look like Wanda felt a thing. Her pretty pink eyes burned red. "Yes, this is your property. But if you want it to stay this way, and not a bright field filled with flowers, butterflies, and anything else nice I can think of, you'll GET OUT OF HERE!"

Feeling scared for the first time in his life, Anti Cosmo raised his black wand and poofed himself away to another part of Anti Fairy World. "Thanks Wanda." said Jenny, her voice cracking and getting weaker by the second. In her voice was an air of respect for what Wanda had just done.

Wanda's hair and eyes turned back to normal, and she smiled sweetly at Jenny. "No problem sweetie. I've always wanted to do that." Then she turned serious. "Is there anything we can get you so that you're more comfortable?"

"No. Just…Stay here." Jenny spoke, pain making it difficult for her to talk. Everybody smiled pitifully at her. "Of course we will. We'll stay for as long as you want us to." Timmy told Jenny, holding her hand. It made him want to break down and sob. Her grip that had once been so strong, was now as light as holding the hand of a toddler.

Jenny smiled at Timmy, then suddenly gasped as though she remembered something. With a sudden burst of energy she said, "Timmy! Could you wish…For my sketchbook please?"

"I wish for Jenny's sketchbook." Timmy immediately wished. The big book poofed into his hands, and he held it up to Jenny. "Here it is."

"Look where the page is marked." she hoarsely requested. "I drew something for you."

"I know." Timmy said, turning to the page. "I saw it in your room when we got split up."

"I drew it to…" Jenny coughed, then continued to speak. "Thank you."

"Thank me?" Timmy repeated incredulously. "I should be thanking you. You saved me."

Jenny weakly chuckled. "I don't even know…How I did that. Maybe the spell was…Wearing off."

Wanda shook her head. "No, I don't think it was that."

"I bet it was your undying love for Timmy!" Cosmo spoke optimistically. "You realized how much he truly means to you, and you wanted to save him. So your love broke the spell that bound you!"

Everyone stared dumbfounded at Cosmo. "What? Am I not allowed to have smart moments?" the green fairy asked defensively. Then he randomly turned into a chicken. "And now it's time for the Chicken Dance!" So Cosmo started dancing.

Everyone laughed at him, then Timmy turned back to the portrait. "So why are you thanking me?" he asked Jenny. "Because you…saved me. You're a rainbow. You gave me friendship…Hope. Help." Jenny squeezed Timmy's hand gently. "Love."

At this, Timmy started to cry. "Why are you crying Timmy?" Jenny muttered gently. "Why aren't you crying?" Timmy shot back. "You're dying! Why aren't you scared?"

"Timmy, dying isn't as scary the second time around." Jenny smiled sadly at him. "And it's easier…When you're surrounded by people who love you. Of course I'm sad. But…I'm always going to be…With you. In your memories….And in your heart. I know you won't…Forget me."

"No. Never." Timmy held the sketchbook close to his chest. "I'll never get rid of this."

"I know you won't." repeated Jenny, still whispering. Being so close to death, her whole body was paling, her hair was losing it's glorious red shine, her eyes were dulling. They had been shimmering hazel, now they looked like mud. Timmy wept at her appearance. Jenny had once been so beautiful. Now death was taking her beauty away from her. Turning her into a different person physically. But she could never be changed emotionally. Or mentally.

"Hey Timmy." Jenny's murmur broke Timmy free from his thoughts. He glanced down at her. "Yeah?"

"Remember how you said…That when we beat Anti Cosmo…You'd give me an amazing kiss?"

"Yeah." Timmy nodded. Jenny smiled up weakly and hopefully. Her eyes shimmered hazel one last time. "Can we share that kiss?"

Timmy smiled. "Of course." he answered.

So still holding hands, Timmy leaned down, and Jenny's lips met his. Her eyes closed because she was too frail to keep them open. Timmy tried to keep his open, so that he could see Jenny, but finally he gave in to the incredible kiss and shut his eyes.

They were still kissing when Jenny drew a sharp breath in, then relaxed. Her grip on Timmy's hand disappeared. Slowly her whole body stiffened, and her heartbeat and pulse stopped. Jenny was gone.

Slowly Timmy stood up and let go of Jenny's hand. It fell with a sickening thud on her body. "I'm sorry Timmy." Wanda murmured.

Timmy just stared at Jenny's body. "She's gone." He whispered to himself. Then he turned to his fairies. "I wish we could all go home, and that Jenny's body was buried at her original burial place."

But before any of the fairies could wave their wands there was a gigantic POOF! Suddenly in front of them were all of the creatures in the world. Pixies, anti fairies, fairies, sprites, elves, even a few monsters. Timmy cried out in surprise. "Ah!"

Instantly the 3 fairies waved their wands to grant Timmy's earlier wish, but they all went dull and made a farting sound. "What?" Wanda cried out.

"Your wands will not work puny fairies." Out of the crowd of mystical creatures walked the head honcho of all the fairies: Jorgen Von Strangle. "What's going on Jorgen? Can't you see we're all upset? A good friend is dead!" Wanda snapped at him. "Yes, I realize your friend is dead. That is why all of the magic has been shut off for a few minutes. It is a tradition whenever a Bornagain has died to turn off the magic out of respect. Not a tradition that gets done very often because of the fact that there are hardly any Bornagains, but you get the idea."

Jorgen walked up to Jenny's body and covered her with a grey blanket. Then he picked up her body. Timmy's face paled at the grey blanket over Jenny. That was not what she would have wanted to be hidden in, he just knew it! "Do you have a different blanket?" he asked Jorgen weakly. "What do you think I am, a quilt-maker?" Jorgen asked him incredulously. "It's just that…Jenny liked rainbows." Timmy choked out. "Why do you care what this Bornagain liked?" Jorgen snorted. "Jorgen! Show some kindness! That was Timmy's girlfriend!" Wanda snapped. "Timmy's girlfriend?" Jorgen repeated in astonishment. "Yes. An incredible Bornagain who was created by Anti Cosmo, the only Anti Fairy that I don't see here right now." "This girl was created by an Anti Fairy?" Jorgen was getting more and more baffled by the second. "Yes. And he used her in an attempt to get his revenge on Timmy! But she and Timmy saved the day!" Quickly Wanda described the fight, everyone around her listening intently. When she was finished, Wanda added, "So before you do anything else, maybe consider how you can make her burial a little more honourable."

"Well…I suppose I could find a different blanket." Jorgen's toughness relented, and he actually sounded caring. "She shall be buried in the best part of the Fairy World Cemetery, with the most beautiful headstone. And her photo shall hang in Fairy Hall, so all will remember this brave Bornagain."

"If it's alright with you sport, Cosmo and I would like to hang Jenny's photo in the Godchild Hall of Fame in our castle." Wanda spoke to Timmy gently. "She wasn't our godchild, but she feels like a part of our family."

Timmy nodded. "Go ahead." he said blankly. "Do everything possible to make sure that Jenny isn't forgotten."

Just then, the magic turned back on. Wands started glowing again. "Well Timmy? Do you want to help with the burial plans?" Cosmo asked him. Timmy thought for a second, his sad expression unchanging. "Yes. I'd like to help with the headstone." He finally answered. So he and his fairies poofed away to work.

All throughout the day, Timmy kept having mystical creatures come up to him and give him their condolences. Wanda could tell that he appreciated it, but in truth, she was worried about her godson. She didn't want Jenny's death to make Timmy sick. Even though he was showing the normal signs of grieving right now, she was concerned that she may have been missing signs that Timmy wasn't going to get better.

Finally at the end of the day, Timmy had finished designing the marker. It was shaped like a rainbow, with Jenny's picture in the very center. To the left of it was her name, "Jenny Glee Cain." and to the right of it was some inscriptions. "She loved, was loved, and will always be loved," "Our rainbow girl," and "You showed me that looks truly can be deceiving. You weren't what I thought, you were better."

When he finally arrived home, there was an envelope on his bed. He picked it up and opened it. "What is it?" Cosmo asked. "A letter. From Anti Cosmo!" Timmy gasped. Then, because he knew they would want to know what it said, he read it aloud to his fairies.

To Timothy:

I know that the events that occurred today must be causing you great grief. I have never lost a loved one, but I can imagine what you are going through.

Anyways, I am just writing this little note to tell you that just because this unfortunate event happened does not mean I am going to stop trying to get my revenge on you. I am deeply sorry for what happened, but that does not mean I will give up my ambitions. I am an Anti Fairy and an evil genius after all. The world shall be mine! And you will not stop me!

Cheerio:

Anti Cosmo, evil genius

P.S. Turn on your TV.

"What on earth is that supposed to mean?" Wanda asked in confusion. "That Anti Cosmo has always got some strange plan up his sleeve. I don't like this."

"I don't think it's anything dangerous." Timmy said softly, walking up to his TV and switching it on. When he did, he got the biggest shock in his life.

A slideshow had been put together from all of the times that Jenny and Timmy had been together. The school cafeteria, Freeze, playing video games, EVERYTHING! Timmy watched in astonishment, tears falling down his cheeks as he watched how happy they had been together. All of his memories had been put on that video, so that he would have them forever. He didn't know what to say.

Anti Cosmo must have known that would be his reaction, because at the end of the 15 minute slideshow, when the screen was black, two words appeared on the screen.

"You're welcome."
