CHAPTER 3 – A Friend in Need

Dear Diary,

It's Saturday May 17th and I know I'm writing this way too early in the morning. I had a difficult time sleeping last night. I kept tossing & turning about how I made Vicky so upset. After she ran upstairs crying, I decided to check out her ad on the internet. I must say though, she could have used a better photo of herself. No one is going to find her attractive in a green halter-top and hair pulled back in a pony tail that way. I need to find a way to get her to accompany me to my Glamour Pix session tomorrow when my whole dance class gets their individual pictures taken. Maybe, they could make her look a little more attractive.

After I finished reading her ad, I decided to send out e-mails to various sport & film celebrity foundations asking if one of them would take my sister to the prom. I really hope that one of them gets back to me soon. The prom is coming up fast, so it might be a little too late in getting a response from them. I also understand that this is a long shot, but it's still worth a try. Because of the time constraint that I am facing, I am going to have to ask Timmy if he can help me. I know Vicky is the last person in the world he'd ever help, but maybe if I tell him it's for me, he might be willing to. I'll ask him right after his little league game this morning. I always love seeing him in those tight baseball pants. Well, I better get ready to see my beloved. I never miss a game.

Sincerely,

Tootie Flannigan

Tootie then put the diary away, and proceeded to go through her morning routine. She decided to get a shower in the morning instead of the evening like she usually does. She wanted to look extra special for Timmy today at his game. Tootie just started to use this new special shampoo & conditioner; it always gave her hair a dark beautiful sheen to it. Once she was done with her shower, she towel dried her hair, brushed her teeth, and came out to get dressed. She put on her dark denim skort and a powder blue sleeveless shirt. It was the weekend, so she could dress down. No need for her usual black & grey plaid uniform. She then went back to the bathroom to dry her hair, and put it into pig tails. She put in her eye drops, and then fixed her glasses. She was now ready for the day. After she was all prim and proper, she put on a pair of cross-trainer running shoes, because she knew she would have to chase him down all the way to his front door.

Tootie crept out of her bedroom and tip-toed down the hall. It was a weekend, and she knew Vicky and her parents liked to sleep in. She went down stairs to get breakfast. Once she got to the kitchen, she looked at the time and spoke to herself, "Good, it's 8:05. Timmy's game doesn't start till 9:00. I'll just have a bowl of cereal and wait on the bleachers until game time." Tootie had a bowl of shredded wheat and a glass of orange juice. Once breakfast was done, she cleared the table, left a note for her parents, and then headed out to Dimmsdale Park.

Outside, it was a beautiful day. It had to be at least 74 degrees outside and not a cloud in the sky. A perfect day for Timmy's game. As Tootie walked down the sidewalk. She pondered many thoughts as to how she would approach her beloved with this dilemma of hers. (How do I ask someone to help the one person who has caused him nothing but pain & misery since he was 8?) Tootie was preparing for the worst. She didn't know what Timmy would do or say to her by asking him such a daunting request, Tootie was also scared of how he would react too.

Tootie finally reached the baseball diamond. Tootie sat where she regularly does when Timmy has a ball game. She could see the teams out there practicing and warming up before the first pitch was thrown. Tootie usually is happy and full of cheer when at the games, but today, she had a very serious & troubled look on her face.

On the field, Chester pointed out to Timmy that Tootie had arrived. "Oh Timmmmy…your cheering section is here." Timmy just looked at Chester, rolled his eyes and said, "I'll alert the media." Timmy looked at Tootie to see what she would do this time when she saw him. As he looked in her general direction, he could tell that something was on her mind. Timmy then asked Chester & A.J. a question, "Hey guys, how does Tootie look to you?" Chester responded first, "She looks the same as she does every day, minus the different outfit." AJ spoke next, "Looks like she is thinking real hard, as if something is bothering her. She does seem to be distracted; she typically can't take her eyes off you when you're in uniform Timmy." Timmy began to think AJ was on to something. "I think you're right AJ. Maybe she had an issue with Vicky or something." Just then, the coached called the players in to have them take the field. The game was about to begin.

Tootie couldn't focus her attention on the game at all. Her thoughts were elsewhere this morning. It's a shame she wasn't paying attention too, because Timmy went 3 for 4 and scored the winning run on a wild pitch from third base. Final score of the game, (Giants 4 - Athletics 3). After the game, Timmy got his snacks at the concession stand, and then began to make his escape from the park to avoid Tootie's embrace. As he walks home he heard that oh so familiar voice call out to him, "Timmy, wait! I need to speak with you." Timmy looked back to see Tootie was running after him. Timmy then began to run away from her. He still had his cleats on, but the way he took was nothing but grass anyway. Timmy thought to himself, "Cosmo, Wanda, & Poof should be perched in that tree just up ahead. Fifty yards more and I'm one wish away from my room.

Timmy made it to the oak tree where his fairies were stationed. He saw they were all ready to grant his wish, as they knew the routine by now. "Hi Timmy, the usual wish this fine Saturday morning?" Ask a cheerful Cosmo. "Yes please, and hurry, she wore running shoes today." Timmy said as he hid behind the tall oak. With a wave of the wand, Timmy was home in his room. Once Tootie reached the oak, she looked around in disbelief and said, "How does he manage to vanish into thin air all time? Well, I know he's at home so I'll make my way to his house."

Back at the Turner estate, Timmy was talking to his fairies about the game. "You should have seen me today guys, I had 2 stolen bases, and a triple in the bottom of the six. I won the game when the pitcher threw a wild pitch off the catcher's glove. Wanda just looked at him blankly and said, "Well, if you didn't want to avoid Tootie all the time, we could have seen it in person. Having us staged at the tree was your idea." Timmy was about to retort to Wanda, when he heard Tootie's high pitched voice call him from the window. He looked out, and saw her standing on his front lawn. "Timmy, can I please talk to you?" Timmy then turned around and spoke out loud to his fairies, "She followed me home? What does she want from me?" Timmy approached his window again and called out to her, "Go away Tootie, I'm not in the mood right now." Tootie called back to him pleading even more than before, "Timmy, please it's important I talk to you, I need your help." Looking back at her he said, "How's it feel to need Tootie?" Right after that remark, he slammed the window closed, and went to lye down on his bed.

Tootie stood there on the lawn in total shock. He completely blew her off. She could not believe that he wouldn't even give her a chance to speak. Tootie then turned around and began to walk home slowly, with tears in her eyes crying. She felt alone with a problem that was way too big for her to handle by herself. She didn't want to even ask her parents for help, because they were terrified of Vicky, and they also feared that if they meddled in Vicky's personal life, it would earn them a verbal & psychological backlash.

As Timmy climbed into his bed, he kicked off his cleats, and began to read his Comic, Wanda gave him a stern look, but before she could say anything, Timmy's parents burst into his room. They both had a look on their faces of anger and disgust. Cosmo, Wanda, & Poof changed into goldfish just in the nick of time to watch the scene unfold. Timmy spoke first, "What are you guys doing in here?" Timmy's Mom then replied…angrily, "Timothy Tiberius Turner I am shocked & disappointed at you! I heard everything you said to poor Tootie from downstairs. Have we not taught you anything?" Timmy looked at both his parents and said arrogantly, "Obviously not since you're never around."

Timmy's Dad chimed in, "Don't you sass your mother and me boy! One, you were rude & inconsiderate to Tootie, and Two, you don't treat anybody like that! That poor girl has a problem, and she came to you for help! How would you like it if she treated you that way when you needed her help?" Timmy again look at his parents and said, "Mom, Dad, she's creepy. She stalks me all the time and won't leave me alone. She bothers me to no end, and I don't really like her all that much. I'm hoping she gets the message this time."

Timmy's mom then gets herself ready to deliver well informed & powerful lecture, "Timmy, I've gotten to know the Flannigan's over the years since Vicky began to babysit you. I have also had the pleasure of working with Tootie in the Sugar Cream Puffs now for that last 6 years, and that little girl is a real sweetheart. She absolutely adores you, and quite frankly, you could learn a lot from her too. You know why you don't have a girlfriend Timmy, because you can't see the real inner beauty in people. Maybe you should read The Ugly Duckling. You could learn a lot from that fable. I can tell you this now with confidence, that one day, when she gets older & more mature; Tootie will be a knock out. She will surpass that Trixie Tang in both her looks and figure. And you know what Timmy; you should consider yourself lucky if by that time she even gives you the time of day or even speaks to you. And if she doesn't I wouldn't blame her one bit the way you treat her."

Timmy looked at his mom like there were spiders coming out of her ears. He could not believe what she was saying. He thought to himself, (How can Tootie grow up to look better than Trixie Tang?) Timmy's Dad, closed out the lecture with the following, "Young man you are going to march right up to the Flannigan's house and apologize to her in person. You are grounded until you do so!" With the lectured delivered, they both left his room slamming the door.

Timmy just lay on his bed as he continued to read his comic book. As he did that, Cosmo, Wanda & Poof appeared in their fairy form. Wanda again stared at Timmy with a look of anger. Timmy looked at her again and said, "What? Why are you looking at me like that for?" Wanda in an irate voice says, "Well, aren't you going to do what you parents said?" Timmy replied, "I will, when I feel like it. Let her calm down a bit first." Wanda, now fuming grabbed Timmy by his shirt. Picks him up, and looked at him eye to eye and said, "You mother is 100% right! You need to start treating Tootie better. Besides, I know deep down that you do care about her Timmy, or else you wouldn't have given her the best birthday party ever 2 years ago or defend her against Francis either."

Timmy looking at Wanda says, "She doesn't have any guilt to hold over my head now, so I don't feel obligated to do anything at the moment." Wanda now red with anger gives Timmy an ultimatum, "Alright Mr. Macho, you want to act all tough and be a know it all, Fine! Just so you know, we won't grant any wishes until you one, apologize to Tootie, and two, help her out with the problem she has. You are cut off until then."

Timmy then replies in protest, "What! No magic? You can't be serious?" Cosmo then backs up his wife, "I agree with Wanda Timmy, we are on strike until you apologize and help Tootie." Timmy then gets up, and gets out of Wanda's clutches only to turn and face an angry Poof. Poof gave Timmy a look of anger and disgust that was clearly visible on his little fairy face. Timmy stared at him for a minute, and then finally gave in. "Alright, alright, you all win! Let me get changed and we'll go see what I can do to help her."

15 minutes pass, Timmy is now dressed in a pair of blue jeans & a Dimmsdale Pirates T-shirt. As he cuts across the living room, his parents look at him with dissatisfaction in their faces. Timmy then announces, "Ok, you're right, I should not have talked to Tootie that way, and I will treat her better from now on. I'm off to apologize, and see how I can help her." His parents still show disappointment in their faces even after he makes his announcement. Timmy then opens the front door, and proceeds to walk in the direction of the Flannigan's house.

Cosmo, Wanda, & Poof, are disguised as birds at the moment. There is nothing but silence among the group as Timmy walks up the street to Tootie's house. Once there, he notices that the whole Flannigan clan is at the home. He can tell this by noticing all 3 cars in their driveway. As he walks up to the front door, Cosmo, Wanda, & Poof have now change from birds, into a pink, green, & purple belt buckle to hide themselves on Timmy's person. They do this to make sure Timmy rights the wrong he just did, as well as listen to Tootie's plight. Timmy now stands at the front door. He takes a deep breath, and rings the doorbell. Just then, he hears a voice call out, "I'll get it." Timmy stands there waiting for the person in question to answer the door. No sooner after pondering that thought the door suddenly opens abruptly, and looking right back at Timmy was…Nicky?
(Tootie's Mom)
