Chapter 9: Without Timmy

"I wish we were back at my mobile home," said Chester.

POOF!

Norm, Chester, and Calais appeared in the mobile home.

Norm wondered why Chester had wished them out of the luxurious Chosen One Suite. Then, he remembered what had happened to Turner. Chester probably didn't want to remain there any longer without his best friend.

Norm had liked it a lot more without Turner. He didn't get what Chester was upset about. However, Chester was upset, and he had caused it. Godparents weren't supposed to upset their godkids, even if they weren't fond of the kid's friends. He supposed he had to get Turner back or something like that. However, Norm also entertained the possibility of wiping Chester's memories of Turner, like Jorgen had done.

Maybe if the Darkness came back…

Norm instantly rejected that plan. The Darkness had destroyed millions of lives – including his – and had murdered countless beings. Making it come back would be low, even for him.

Also, how could one genie make the Darkness come back anyway? Exactly.

Calais looked around the dirty mobile home in distaste, and looked for her lamp. It wasn't there. Timmy was holding it when he was sucked in the Darkness. She supposed that she had to sleep in Norm's lamp. She groaned, since she knew Norm would treat the unfortunate situation as a chance to get her in bed with him. He was good in bed, she had to admit that, but he also had nothing against letting the Darkness suck up an innocent kid.

She started to wonder if Norm was actually the good guy that she and Chester thought he was. Did he care about Chester, or was he just waiting for an opportunity to lose him in an Eliminator too? Did he love her, or did he just think she was just something to shag?

Calais suspected the latter. Norm had always seemed a bit shady to her, even when he was saving her. He probably just wanted someone to shag, and she was the most convenient person around.

Well, he wouldn't be getting any shagging from her.

Chester wondered if was possible to make it so Norm would never godparent anyone ever again. He didn't want any other kids getting hurt by Norm's schemes. Then, Chester remembered that Norm had mentioned Da Rules. Da Rules was the fairy rulebook, and it contained Rules about almost every aspect of godparenting, wishes, and almost all the magical creatures in the universe.

Chester went and, sat on his green bed, under his My Shiny Teeth poster. He wanted to read Da Rules.

"Norm?" asked Chester. "Can I read Da Rules?"

Norm was shocked. What did Chester want Da Rules for?

Then, he remembered what he done to Turner, and groaned bitterly. Chester was probably trying to avenge Turner, and do something bad to him, Norm, like trapping him back in his lamp.

Norm wasn't sure what to do. Giving Chester Da Rules would probably enable him to trap him back in his lamp again, but if he didn't, Chester would never trust him again.

"Chester," said Norm. "Do you really think doing what you're planning is the best thing to do?"

"Yes, I do." replied Chester. "You hurt my best friend."

"Your best friend?" asked Norm skeptically. "AJ is a much better friend than Turner – and he's smarter too."

"How do you know?" asked Chester. "I never told you about school."

Norm groaned. All he had done was ask Calais, who went with Chester to school, and to see his friends sometimes. Why did Chester turn it into such a matter of betrayal?

"Alright, you get Da Rules," said Norm. "However, if you use them against me, I'll ask Jorgen Von Strangle for a reassignment."

Chester didn't look concerned in any way about losing his godparent. Norm didn't like knowing that Chester wouldn't care if he weren't there to godparent him anymore. Maybe he needed a fresh start, with another godkid, that wasn't connected to Turner.

"Chester, you don't need any wishes to be happy," said Norm sadly. "In fact, you never did. I'm only with you because I want to be now. If you want me gone, just say 'I'm happy and don't need my godparents anymore.'"

"I don't trust you."

Norm groaned. That was not new info. No one ever trusted him once they got to know him. Still, he had spent months thinking Chester did.

"Kid, I care about you," replied Norm. "But, Turner? No way."

"If you hurt my friends, you aren't my friend."

Norm groaned, and POOFed to Hawaii. He knew the Hawaiian dames wouldn't care about Turner.
