Chapter 3: Reasons

Norm POOFed to the bottom of the gumball machine, and waited for someone to decide that they wanted a gumball.

A kid approached the machine, and inserted his money. Norm came out. He couldn't believe what he had to do, but he had to escape Chester's McBadbat's scheme to turn him into his fairy slaves!

The kid picked him up and put him into his mouth. Ew! Norm didn't like the kid's mouth at all. Norm hoped the kid would blow up the gumball, since he had no interest in exploring his digestive system.

Luckily for Norm, the kid did.

Norm floated in the weird gum form, wondering if genie magic still worked when you were a fairy, since he found that he was deprived of his wand. Norm groaned. Now what could he do?

"Is Norm in prison?" asked Chester.

"I don't think Jorgen cares much about child abuse," replied Calais. "From what Norm told me (and what I heard from other sources), Jorgen places Da Rules above everything else, so he probably isn't in prison."

"Then where is he?"

"He disappeared in a BOOM, so Jorgen probably was the one that caused it," replied Calais scornfully. "Jorgen prefers to be the epitome of manliness and even his magic reflects it."

"We got rescue him!"

"Norm does not need rescuing," replied Calais. "Jorgen would never deliberately permanently harm a fairy godparent."

"But, I thought you said he was like bad and stuff," replied Chester confused. "Both of you did."

"He has rules," replied Calais. "Rules don't make you a good guy. They just make sure that there are some stuff you won't do."

"But, why'd he take Norm away?"

"I don't know."

"I wish we were at Jorgen's."

"Wishing doesn't work with me," replied Calais. "Norm's the one that has to grant your wishes. I just help him take care of you, while he begs for me to bed him."

"But, Norm isn't here," replied Chester. "I think something's up."

"Because Norm couldn't remember our names," replied Calais. "Or how he got here."

"Yeah."

"Alright, I'll take us to Jorgen," replied Cal.

GONG!

They appeared in Jorgen's command centre.

"WHAT?"

"We have something important to ask you," replied Calais. "Norm has become mean, and he doesn't remember either of us anymore. And he disappeared in a BOOM. We think you caused it."

"Filthy genie, fairy godparents are not your concern!" boomed Jorgen. "Why is Chester with you?"

"Norm was a genie too, you know!" said Calais angrily. "Might want to think about that before you diss my species! Chester is with me because Norm said I could stay with them."

Jorgen was shocked.

"You're staying with them? Are you Chester's godmother? Don't all godparenting assignments have to be cleared with me?"

"Yes. No, Norm hasn't even got me into bed yet (though not for any lack of trying on his part). Yes, but it is probably your stupid Rules that got us into this mess!"

"Da Rules are not stupid! They are necessary!"

"Why was it necessary to make Norm be a jerk to us, forget us and disappear to who knows where?"

"All the fairies needed to be relocated into a gumball machine before the Darkness destroys us all!"

"A gumball machine?" laughed Calais. "You can't be serious!"

"I am serious!" shouted Jorgen, showing the gumball machine's location on an airscreen.

Calais noticed that a teal blue gumball had escaped. Norm!

She couldn't help, but admit that he looked delectable like that. Calais wondered why she had never noticed Norm's luscious appearance before. Maybe because he always was trying to shove it into her face instead of let her notice it naturally herself.

Calais jerked her mind from Norm, and thought about it the Darkness instead. As the name indicated, the Darkness was a dark entity that destroyed millions of worlds.

Cal blanched. Oh no!

"And why did Norm need to forget us and become a jerk?" asked Calais, trying not to show that she was trembling in her interior.

"I DON'T KNOW! EVERYONE WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO FORGET ABOUT THE CHOSEN ONE'S EXISTENCE SO THEY WOULDN'T SAY HIS NAME!"

"Then, why couldn't they just forget his name?"

"That didn't occur to me," mumbled Jorgen.

"Can Norm regain his memories?"

"Yes, but I'm the only one that can do it and I'll only do it when the Darkness is driven away from Earth and Fairy World!"

Calais rolled her eyes, and growled.

"Who will drive it away? Anti-Cosmo? The Pixies? You? The fairies are all in a gumball machine, by smoof!"

"The Chosen One!"

"Me? Chester? Turbo Thunder?"

"No!" boomed Jorgen. "TIMMY TUR- oh right!"

"Whose he?"

"A previous Fairy World hero that mistreated his godparents. No fairy is allowed to godparent him and none should!"

"I'm a genie," replied Calais, knowing that the world was at stake. "Mind if I grant his wishes?"

"Sure, whatever."

GONG!

Calais appeared in her lamp, at Timmy's house.

He was the only hope to save the world, even if he might mistreat her in the process!
