Wow, this is truly amazing. You guys are so awesome, I just can't say it enough. Thank you for all of your reviews and feedback, I didn't think I'd be so lucky in having such amazing support from you guys, so thank you very much :D
Anyway, I agree with one of the comments that this story is moving a tad bit fast. So, I thought I'd slow it down a little, maybe spend some time on showing what Timmy has to learn in order to become a fairy, so expect randomly long chapters at some point XDD. And remember, this is just my perception on what he has to learn to become a fairy. So, if it isn't exactly in tune with the show, I apologize.
This next chapter is just kind of showing how everyone feels about everything happening so far, and in the next chapter I plan to show how the school works and everything. Also, I'll get more in depth with the anti-fairies in the next chapter, too. I thought it'd be important to stress on the emotions Cosmo, Wanda, and Timmy were feeling. So, I hope you enjoy this :D
Disclaimer: I own nothing!
Timmy was just sitting there in shock. He never thought he could have Cosmo and Wanda as his teachers, at least not in this way. Okay, maybe Wanda. But definitely NOT Cosmo. But, he figured he would give the benefit of the doubt, and let them try their best.
"So….mom…when are we going to start…uh..school?"
"We'll start tomorrow sweetie, because we need to prepare the yard up for your training."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, Timmy, as you know every fairy has the ability to poof from place to place, shape-shift, and yadda yadda yadda. Well, we need to make sure that you're capable of doing all these things. And, we need a big enough space to do it in, in case of any mishaps."
"But, you know I'm careful."
"I wasn't talking about only you, son." She shot a concerned look to Cosmo, who was busy trying to catch a butterfly.
"Haha, alright, I gotcha. But, can I talk to you a second?"
"Sure, what's on your mind Timmy?"
"Well…..when we got my crown and everything today, I was really happy. But at the same time, I was scared. Really scared. And, I didn't think that I'd be this scared, especially when I'm with you guys...and well, I was just wondering, is it normal that I'm feeling this way? I mean, I feel terrible about feeling like this...I mean, it's you guys now! You guys are my new parents, and I couldn't be happier, but at the same time, I'm just worried that I won't make it as a fairy..." He was starting to choke back a few tears while he was saying this, so Wanda interrupted before he could start crying.
"Oh, of course it is Timmy! You're not even a week old as a fairy yet! This isn't the kind of life you're used to, sport! Of course you're gonna feel weird at first. But you know what? Your father and I are gonna be here every single step of the way, and I promise you that. Okay? We wouldn't let anything bad happen to you, we love you more than you could ever know."
Timmy was starting to tear up a little when he heard Wanda say this. No one in his human life has ever been so compassionate towards him, not even his human parents. This is the feeling he had been longing for in his life as a human, to be loved. Now, he finally got to experience that wonderful, blessed feeling.
Wanda felt good about Timmy opening up to here like this, because it showed her that he trusted her. She felt so happy in this moment, not just for Timmy trusting her like he did, but the fact that she was giving mother-to-son advice, just like she always wanted. She felt that teaching Timmy how to be a fairy was going to be one of the most exciting times of her life.
As Timmy and Wanda proceeded to fix up the yard for his training tomorrow, Cosmo was sitting in the house, looking at old pictures of Timmy with him and Wanda as his godparents. He had noticed that there was something about Timmy since he became a fairy; he was inexplicably more loving that he was as a human. Sure, he loved Cosmo and Wanda as his godparents, but now it seemed that whenever he was around them, he just was more…appreciative of having them in his life. Cosmo was never the smart one, but as he gazed into the pictures, he figured out one thing; that no wish he had ever granted for Timmy has ever made him, Timmy, or Wanda happier than having him as a son.
Cosmo looked out at the two fairies that were working in the yard. He didn't want to offer help just yet-he was busy savoring the moment.
Nighttime had come quickly in Fairy World, so it was time for dinner. Wanda had made spaghetti with meat sauce, and garlic bread on the side. For once, the dinner did not try to eat Timmy, and was actually pretty good. This is what made Timmy speak up to his mother.
"Hey, mom, when I start to learn how to poof things up, like...material items, can I poof up anything I want?"
"Well, Timmy, there are rules and restrictions. I mean, you can't poof up anything that's not yours to take, like money. That'd be either counter fitting or stealing, depending on if you made the money from scratch or you took it from somewhere."
"Oh…so I guess making myself the richest fairy in Fairy World would be out of the question?"
Wanda just laughed and said, "yes ,honey, it is."
Cosmo was strangely quiet tonight. Usually, he and Timmy would make a total disaster out of dinner; with plates stuck to the ceiling and food everywhere. Instead, he just quietly sat and poked at his dinner, which was now starting to get cold. He spoke up whenever his wife looked at him with deep interest,
"I'm uh…not so hungry now, I'll be back in a little bit. I have to go and get some fresh air."
He excused himself from the table and walked over to get his coat. He didn't feel like flying if he didn't have to. Besides, the exercise could do him good. After watching him walk outside to the front porch of their house, she saw him stand there looking at the dark sky, and he looked like he was in some sort of deep-thought trance. Wanda cleaned up the kitchen, and decided to go and see what was eating at her husband of 10,000 years.
"Timmy, I'll be back in in a little while, okay? I have to go talk to your father about something." With that, she left the house to go and sit next to her husband. There was a minute or two of silence after an initial "Hey" by both of them, and Cosmo was the first to speak up:
"Honey, I'm worried…."
"About what sweetie?"
"Well, I like the idea of teaching Timmy everything we know, it's just….."
"It's just what?"
"I'm just so afraid I'll screw it up!" He started crying uncontrollably. She looked with such sadness as her husband sobbed into her shoulder, perfectly understanding where he was coming from. Cosmo had always been a klutz, and he wanted to prove that he was capable of doing something right for a change. He just wasn't sure he was going to do it.
"Honey, look at me." He looked up into tender, caring pinky eyes that radiated with love, directed right to his very heart.
"I know that you'll be an excellent teacher. You love Timmy too much to put him through any pain or trouble. Besides, you know I'm always here to clean up your messes! You want to know something?"
"What is it?"
While Timmy and I were fixing up the yard today, we talked. He said that he loved the idea of us teaching us him everything, especially you.
"He said that? Really?"
"Yes, he did. He loves and trusts you so much Cosmo, and we all know that you can make mistakes. But, that doesn't mean you won't be a good teacher! I have every bit of confidence in you as he does. You'll do great honey, you just watch."
He looked up,and felt so...alive when he heard this, and gave his wife a passionate kiss on the lips. He could feel her smiling the whole time, and after that heart-to-heart he had with his wife, he felt re-invented. He now had that signature smile on his face with the childish, but somehow adorable childish outlook on life, and said optimistically,
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go teach Timmy!"
Wanda just chuckled, and replied, "Well, sugar, it's late now, let's go say goodnight to Timmy and then teach tomorrow."
"Okay!"
After they went into the house, Timmy spoke up.
"Mom, dad, are you guys okay? I heard crying."
Wanda added in, "Timmy, were you eavesdropping?"
"Uh…I didn't do it?"
They all just laughed at this. Then, Wanda spoke up.
"Alrighty son, time for you to go to sleep. We're going to start your lessons tomorrow, and it's going to be a very, very long process to teach you absolutely everything we know.
"Alright. Goodnight mom, goodnight, dad. I love you guys." When he said this, he brought each of them into a warm embrace, and floated off to his room.
Cosmo and Wanda were still smiling after Timmy went to bed, and had decided to go to bed themselves.
As they lay next to eachother about to fall asleep, two thoughts crossed both their minds. One was that they were so lucky to have adopted such a wonderful son, and the other was that teaching him was going to be a hell of an experience for everybody. With that in their heads, they fell asleep, knowing that tomorrow was going to be the first of many, many, many lessons with Timmy.
Whew! That was a lot for me, haha. I'm going to start college soon, so I will be updating this on an extremely irregular basis, due to classes and hard work. I put a lot of thought into how they would each react, so I hope I did okay. Like I said before, I wanted to show how each of them felt about teaching Timmy how to become a good fairy. Like I said, I will stress more on the Anti-Fairies in the next chapter, as I also said before. So, please R&R, and I hope you've enjoyed this so far, more updates soon! :DDDDDDD
