Timmy couldn't believe it. In front of the door opening stood the girl of his dreams, the ever so popular Trixie Tang. Despite the fact that she should be still at a Christmas Party around this hour. Despite that she seemingly rejected his gift in favor of Remy's.

Understandably, he asked: "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah, and how could you break my best friend's heart", Chester intervened, who was understandably angry at her.

"Hopefully not to laugh cruelly in his face", Chloe said somewhat bitterly.

However, Timmy and the rest of his friends noticed, by the look of her ashamed, guilt-ridden face, her intentions were anything but laughing cruelly in Timmy's face. More like the opposite, it seems.

"I...I want to talk", she stammered softly. "And apologize. And some other things."

This surprised the group in front of her. After a moment of silence, Timmy asked: "...Is it going to take some time?"

Trixie hunched a little and looked down. She had a feeling that Timmy's no longer interested in her. And why would he? She had rejected him for oh so long. But that didn't stop her from feeling guilty. It in fact worsened that feeling.

She admitted: "...Yeah, it's going to take a while. Not worth your time, I suppose."

To her surprise, however, Timmy said: "Well, why don't you come in then? We, or I at least, can't just leave you there in the cold. Besides, I might do Vicky a great favor if we closed the door already."

As if he just spoke of the devil, the red-haired babysitter yelled from the living room: "HEY TWERPS! Are you done there? It's getting chilly in here!"

Timmy continued: "So, are we gonna discuss this in my room or not?"

Trixie blinked her eyes out of sheer surprise. She smiled warmly, saying: "That would be nice, thank you."


Timmy and Trixie seated themselves on the blue bed in his room, while Chester, AJ and Chloe were sitting on the couches the placed for their movie night. Timmy's friends were still a little doubtful over Trixie, but had to admit that she seemed genuinely concerned.

"...May I ask you what your friends are doing here?" Trixie asked.

"I invited them over for a movie night", Timmy responded. "Since... you...rejected my gift, that is..." Timmy's head bowed down as he looked a little sad. This just made Trixie even more guilty.

"So what are you doing here", Timmy said. "I thought you were at a party at your place."

"I was", Trixie said, "but I think I'd rather want to spend my time with you, and by extension, your friends."

"But why", AJ questioned.

Trixie took a breath of air, and then said, as straightforward as she could: "I want to apologize for everything that happened yesterday, Timmy."

Timmy was taken aback. "Wait, really", he asked.

"Yes, really", Trixie confirmed. "I'm sorry for what happened to you. The way Remy acted to you was wrong, and his assumption that I wouldn't like your gift was also wrong. I actually loved it. In fact..."

Trixie took off her coat, her mittens and her scarf, revealing not only her cheongsam dress, but also the necklace Timmy gave. She saw Timmy's eyes sparkling while he appeared to gape in amazement. His friends also gaped at her, but unlike Timmy, quickly gained their senses.

"...I'm actually wearing it right now", Trixie finished her sentence. "It may smell a little since it rested in the trash for a while, but I don't care. I just wish I could've admitted it right away instead of stammering like an idiot."

She noticed that Timmy hasn't said anything yet. He kept staring at her.

"...Timmy?" She asked.

"You...you look...amazing..." Timmy stammered. "The necklace... it suits you even better than I thought... And that dress... it looks really nice on you too."

Trixie blushed at this. "Thanks", she said softly.

"So wait, what about those rumors about you dating Remy", Chloe asked.

"Honestly, I don't know where they came from", Trixie said. "However, the Christmas Party of this year isn't organized only by my family this time. They decided to collaborate with the Buxaplenty family this year. I got to know this by November."

"One could deduce that might be the origin of those rumors", AJ assumed, "because those rumors started around November, too."

"D'you think Remy spread those rumors himself", Chester asked AJ.

"I can't say for certain, but it's possible", AJ said.

"Well, he certainly has an interest in me", Trixie said. "Ever since we started to collaborate, he started to give me cute pet names, as if we were already dating. It was really weird at first and got annoying quickly."

"Did he even call you 'cutiepie' or something equally embarrassing", Chloe asked.

"Ugh, yes", Trixie cringed as she was reminded of that weird nickname. Timmy and his friends also winced along with her, at her confirmation.

"Makes you wonder why you agreed in the first place", Timmy pondered.

"Honestly, I agreed because I thought it would spice up the parties a little with more interesting guests than only my regular friends", Trixie said. "Aside from hanging out with Tad, Chad and Veronica for a while, and the feast, the Christmas Parties tend to be really boring for me."

Trixie then hung her head, as she continued: "But the only new thing it brought is some kid you only met a month or two ago, that constantly tries to court with me and give me gifts in hope to fall for him. I mean, the gifts he gave are nice, but your gift seems more heartfelt, Timmy. More caring about me."

"But, essentially, I've done the same things as Remy did now", Timmy realized. "What makes me better than Remy?"

"Aside from the effort you take in your gifts even after millions of rejections?" Trixie said. "And aside from that there seems something magical about you?"

"Oh", Timmy said. "I guess that would explain i-"

"It's because I somewhat envy you and your friends", Trixie admitted, interrupting Timmy. "I realized this yesterday."

Timmy looked up. "Wait, what?" he said. Chester, AJ and Chloe looked equally surprised.

"But I'm the least popular, most average kid in Dimmsdale", Timmy exclaimed. "How can a popular and magnificent girl like you envy me of all kids?"

Trixie took a breath again. She was going to reveal her biggest secret to someone she knew for a very long time, and by extension, his friends.

"The thing is", Trixie said, "I actually like comic books and video games too, but due to my social status, I'd probably get outcasted if this ever reached the masses. I sometimes wish I could hang out with you guys while reading comics and playing video games, while still keeping my popular friends and them accepting my hobbies. I wish there could be someone that accepted that I like both Skull Squisher and Kissy Kissy Goo Goo, you know."

She continued: "I've only met one girl that knew this side of me, but I've never seen her again since the day I met her, which was right before a birthday party of mine. Her name was Timantha."

At the mention of that name, AJ began to sigh out of love. At that, Chester was a bit worried. Chloe, however, looked surprised at Timmy, wondering if he knew about it.

"So, um, Timantha, huh?" Timmy asked.

"Yeah", Trixie said. "She kinda looks like you, as if she was a female persona of you, so I sometimes think you actually knew this side of me."

When this was said, AJ winced, worried that his one-time crush was actually Timmy in drag. Chester, however, was relieved. Chloe smiled confidently while looking at Timmy, as if she figured out what that all was about.

And well, Trixie's thought was technically correct. Timmy accidentally wished to be a girl once, and got to see Trixie's secret tomboyish side.

"But I digress", Trixie said. "In fact, I may better be going. You must hate me now or something..."

She stood up, but Timmy grabbed her arm. "Are you kidding, Trixie?" Timmy said. "The fact that the girl of my dreams has the same interests as me just makes me ecstatic!"

"...Really?", Trixie said.

"From the bottom of my heart, really", Timmy confirmed.

At this, Trixie jumped at Timmy. She embraced Timmy. She kissed Timmy on the lips. This sudden smooch surprised Timmy.

When Trixie realized what she was doing, she quickly removed her lips from Timmy's. "Uh, sorry", she apologized.

Timmy was slightly dazed. "Am I dreaming this?" he asked. "Someone slap me."

Chloe promptly slapped him in the face. "Your words, not mine", she said.

When Timmy opened his eyes after the hit, he realized that this was in fact real life. Trixie Tang had just kissed him.

The two looked at each other while their cheeks were completely red from the blushing.

"I...um...also brought you a gift", Trixie said, breaking the silence, as she grabbed her present from her coat. "When Remy left after we finished our tasks yesterday, I snuck out and bought this. I intended to give you this a few days later, but I'm here now."

Timmy was curious. He unwrapped his present, wondering what Trixie may have bought for him. Then his eyes glistened as he saw what it was.

"A vintage copy of the very first Crimson Chin comic album?" Timmy asked with pleasant surprise. "Those are extremely rare and expensive!"

"Well, when you're from a rich family, you can buy almost anything", Trixie said.

Now it was Timmy's turn to embrace. He hugged Trixie tightly around her hips. "Thank you, Trixie", Timmy said.

Trixie embraced Timmy again, as she said. "You're welcome, Timmy."

"Umm, not to be mean against Trixie", AJ interrupted, "but I do think it's time for her to go. I can't imagine what her parents must be thinking at this point."

Trixie realized this as the two lovebirds let loose of each other. "Holy smoof, you're right", she said. "I kinda left a note when I went to you, and I think Remy may have found it, and told my parents by now. If I just went away somewhere, the worst that could happen is that I'd be grounded, but if they found out I spent my time here..."

She placed her hands on each side of her head, worrying what worse things could happen.

Timmy looked sadly at Trixie. He wished he could do something about it, but he and his friends couldn't think of anything. The wisest thing that they could do is just for Trixie to go back to the party.

Wait a minute, did he just think 'wish'?

He looked at his goldfish, which were actually his fairy godparents in disguise. That's it!

"You know, I wish that your parents wouldn't be aware that you went somewhere else this evening, or didn't mind for once". He glanced at the fishbowl to see if Cosmo and Wanda caught on.

Fortunately, at least Wanda did. She shook Cosmo, and a few seconds later, they granted the wish.

With that out of the way, now he need to convince Trixie that she could stay here for a while.

Fortunately, Chloe caught on too. "You know, I think they wouldn't mind you went out this time", Chloe said. "Heck, maybe they're not even aware you went at all."

"Do you think so", Trixie asked.

"Sure, what she said", Timmy said.

"Umm... OK", Trixie said. "You did say you have a movie night, right?"

"Yeah, that's true", Timmy said. "However, we haven't decided which movie we want to watch yet."

"May I do a suggestion, then?"

Timmy and his friends looked at each other. "Sure, go ahead", he confirmed.

"We don't mind", AJ followed.

"As long as it isn't R-rated", Chloe added.

Trixie thought a little. Then she spoke: "Do you think you can get 'The Skull Squisher' movie?"
