CHAPTER 7 – Rolling in the Dough
As Tootie lay in her bed, crying profusely over the news she just received from Timmy; She felt like a total failure. She felt that no matter how hard she had tried, that she would never be able to help her sister. She didn't really care that much for Vicky at times, but she knew what a big deal this was for her. As she continued to cry and soak her pillow with tears, she heard a knock at her door. She turned around to notice that her Mom was standing by the doorway.
"Are you alright honey? What did Timmy do this time to make you feel sad?" Tootie looked at her Mom, and did her best to answer her questions, without spilling the beans as to what has been going on behind their backs and closed doors. "Timmy did nothing wrong Mom, he just delivered some bad news to me about a project we were working on?" Nicky looked at her daughter and thought long and hard about what she could be taking about. "Oh, well what was it? Is it something that I could help you with?" Tootie didn't want to say anything more about what they both were doing behind everyone's back for Vicky, so she told her Mom a fib. "No, Timmy just told me that there was a conflict with the cost of an item. It would have made the project run better than if it were to stand alone by itself." Nicky continued to pry, "How much Honey? You know you could come an ask me if you needed any money?" Tootie just looked at her Mom and said with a hint of a smile, "I know, but this was way too expensive. We'll find another approach to this. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to take a Nap. Vicky dragged me all over the place today." Nicky then smiled and patted her head. As she left, she closed the door so as not to let anyone disturb Tootie.
Three blocks up the road, Timmy was preparing a grocery list of items while he was in Fairy World. "A sack of fairy flour, 4 dozen golden goose eggs, and where will we find troll dandruff?" Wanda then said to Timmy in anxious and paranoid voice, "Timmy, you can't just bring ingredients from fairy world to earth!" Timmy looked at her with a stern face and asked, "Why not? What's the worst that can happen?" Cosmo then chimed in, "Yeah what is the worst that can happen Nag-a-saurous?" Wanda just looked at the both of them and blurted out the answer in fear, "Oh alright, I'm afraid that Jorgen may find out that were profiting off the Von-Strangle family recipe, and if he does, we all will be in a world of hurt. I don't want to be busted down and have to go back to Fairy Boot Camp!" Cosmo then smiled and comforted Wanda as he then told her to relax. "Wanda …don't you remember? I am Von-Strangle too. We are just using this recipe for a good cause, not for profit." Wanda then erratically demanded, "How this is considered a good cause? Using the money from the Brownie recipe to pay for an escort for Vicky? Are you aware of the consequences?" Cosmo then enlightened her about the consequences on the other side of the coin. "Leave Jorgen to me, I can handle my cousin. We should all be concerned when Vicky has to watch Timmy on the night of her senior prom. That alone will be a night of torture, tears, and fears… not in that order of course." Wanda then thought long and hard about what Cosmo said. "You're right Cosmo. I think we are better prepared to handle Jorgen, then an upset and angry Vicky." Then with a poof of the wands, they all went to Fairy World.
Once there in Fairy World, Timmy asked, "Cosmo, Wanda, where can we go to get the ingredients in bulk, real cheap?" Comso replied, "We can go buy them down at the baker's district & farmer markets. They always sell them in bulk for less there. Except the troll dandruff, in which we need to get from the trolls themselves." Timmy with a look of determination replied, "Ok, let's go gather what we need and get back home so that we can start the baking." Wanda then interjected, "Alright, but first let's drop Poof off at Mama Cosma's house. I don't want this to take any longer than it has too. And remember, we are doing this under the radar!" After all the debating & planning was done; Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda then went off to collect the ingredients.
First, Cosmo went to get the Golden Goose Eggs. There was this little farm right on the outside of the farmers market. He found that to be a challenge in itself. "What do you mean I have to go pull them out from the nest beneath them?" As Cosmo looked at the fairy farmer, he then told him the following, "This here be a free range farm of dem Golden Geese. Y'all need to get em yourselves." As Cosmo went to get the eggs, he was mauled by the geese. "AHHH, get away from me you fowl beasts! HELP!" After about 30 minutes of geese wrestling. Cosmo got the eggs he needed. When he went to pay the farmer for the eggs, he said, "This one be on the house boy. I never laughed so hard in my life watchin' you get beat up and ravaged by dem geese. Besides, it was good exercise for em."
After Cosmo got the eggs, he caught up with Timmy, who had already purchased the sacks of Fairy Flower, asked looking at him with a look of shock & disbelief. "Cosmo, what happened to you?" Cosmo replied, "I had to wrestle a whole flock to get these golden eggs." No sooner as the two of them stood there, they saw Wanda approach with a silver canister. Timmy waved to her to signal her over to them. As she approached, they both asked, "What's in the can?" Wanda looked at them very angrily and said, "It's your troll dandruff. Don't ask me how I got it, I just did." Without any further ado, they all went to go pick up Poof, and then make their way back to Timmy's garage, so that they could bake Na Na Boom Boom's Very Cherry Brownie's.
After picking up Poof from Mama Cosma's House, they all poofed back to Timmy's garage to start the operation. Once inside, Timmy then asked his fairies for the following wishes. "Ok Wanda, first, I need a big bag of cherries, and then I need you to be a huge oven so we can bake the brownies." Cosmo chimed in, "Yeah it figures, you would be something huge that blows hot air." Wanda just looked at him cross eyed, and granted the wish. Next Timmy asked Cosmo for the following, Cosmo, I need you to be an industrial sized mixer. Cosmo then changed into the giant planetary mixer with bowl, in order to make the batter. Poof then came over to Timmy to see what his task would be. "Poof, I need you to be a timer. If you do a good job, I'll give you 2 dozen brownies for your effort." Poof smiled and said, "poof poof" before changing into the timer and sitting on top of Wanda. Timmy's fairy's changed into the appliances needed to make the brownies. This would help them complete this task now in a short amount of time. Timmy, now wearing an apron and bakers cap begins to make the brownies. As he mixes and bakes, the aroma of the brownies begins to make its way into the house. The smell is so intoxicating, that it peaks the attention of Timmy's Dad. "Mmmm, what is that delicious smell and where is it coming from?" He said as he began to make his way to the garage. As he walked to the garage with his nose high in the air, he sniffs & follows the stream of the sweet aroma all the way to the garage. Once he opens the door, he sees Timmy mass producing the brownies. Timmy's Dad then asks the important question, "Uh son, what are you doing?" Timmy then looks over his shoulder to see his Dad standing there. He thinks quickly to answer his question, "Oh, Hi Dad. I'm making brownies for the baseball team's fundraiser." Looking around the room again, he then asks Timmy another equally important question, "Son, where did you get all this equipment and ingredients?" Timmy, thinking long and hard answers him with the only other response he knows, "Uh-Internet?" Timmy's Dad then smiles and says, "Good enough reason for me, let me taste one when there done. They smell better than the ones your Mom makes. Hopefully these won't be a Roto-Router on my colon like hers."
Once Timmy's Dad had left the room, Timmy continued to make the brownies. He and his fairies slaved all day and all of Sunday evening. Once he was done baking them all, he began to put them in the boxes. He filled the whole back half of the garage with the brownies. After all the work was done, he then gave two boxes to Poof, for helping him as promised. "Here you go Poof. All I ask is that you wait until we sell these all tomorrow, before you eat any of them. That way, I don't have to restrain you from eating the rest, ok?" Poof looked at Timmy, and smiled, "Poof Poof." He took the boxes and gave them to Wanda to put into safe keeping. "Thanks sweetie, I'll put these in a safe place until we are done selling them door to door tomorrow." Wanda said to Poof with a smile. With that all being said and done, Timmy went upstairs, and crashed in his bed. It did not take him long at all to fall asleep; his fairy's followed suit right behind him.
The very next day, Tootie woke up, and got dressed. It was Monday, so she got dressed in her usually, black and grey parochial school uniform, even thought she went to public school. She then brushed her teeth, put her hair in pig tails, and cleaned her glasses and aligned them to her face. Now she was ready to face the dismal day ahead of her. As she walked down the stairs to the kitchen table, she noticed that Vicky was not dolled up as she has usually been the past few weeks. As Tootie looked across the table, she saw Vicky with her hair pulled back. It was kind of frizzy, but nice enough to go out in public. She had on her usual black pants and green halter top. Tootie didn't want to, but she spoke up anyway, "Is that how you're going to school today?" She asked meekly. Vicky put down the spoon from her bowl of cereal with a loud clank. She looked at Tootie and muttered, "Why, what's wrong with it?" It's not like anyones gonna approach me anyway." Tootie just sat in silence. Vicky's words never really bothered her much, but since she could not find her a date, it seemed to hit hard at her and hurt her some.
After breakfast, Tootie then grabbed her book bag and proceeded to go to school. She felt like walking today, since she needed to ponder her next move. As she walked up her street, she heard a faint voice in the distance. "Tootie…wait up." As she turned around to look, she saw Timmy running after her. This came as a shock to Tootie, as he is usually running away from her. Tootie stopped to let him catch up. Tootie had a confused look on her face. She couldn't figure out why he was chasing her down so early in the morning. Once Timmy reached her, Tootie looked at him and said, "Timmy, what is it? I never have seen you chase me down before. Feels, kind of nice for once." Timmy looked at her and said slightly out of breath, "Tootie, I found a way to make the money needed to pay the escort." Tootie's eye's opened wide as did her mouth in shock. She couldn't believe what she had just heard Timmy say. "You did! What is it? What do we have to do?" She said in both surprise and disbelief. Timmy just looked at her and said, "Meet me in my garage after school today, and wear you Sugar Crème Puff Uniform. We're going door to door." Tootie just looked at Timmy and smiled big. One, he had a solution to the problem, and two, he just invited her over to his house. Today was starting to look like it was going to be a good day after all. Once the news was delivered, Tootie and Timmy then walked off to school together.
The day seemed to go by quicker since Tootie was now in a good mood. She rushed home to get into her Sugar Crème Puff uniform. Once she was dressed and ready to go, she skipped all the way to Timmy's house, singing praises. Once she arrived at Turner house, she then knocked on the garage door. It opened in a matter of seconds. Once open, Tootie saw boxes of a certain baked good. She looked at Timmy and said, "What is all of this?" Timmy replied, "This is the answer to your problem Tootie. These brownies will earn us the money for the escort. Here, take this box, this is the sample. Now, these boxes are 50.00 each. Once we offer them a sample, get ready to take the money and dish out the pasty." Tootie couldn't understand who would want to pay that much for brownies. She wanted to try one but Timmy told her they had a limited supply. Timmy, loaded some boxes up in a pink wagon, as Tootie loaded some more up in a green one. Both in their respected uniforms, they went door to door to sell the brownies.
Tootie looked at Timmy and said, "Which house do we go to first?" Timmy smiled and pointed to the Dinkleberg's house. Once they made it up to the drive way, they rang the door bell. The door swung open, and there stood Mr. Sheldon Dinkleberg. He looked down at the two pre-teens and said with a smile, "Well hello Timmy, who's your cute little friend here?" Timmy replied, "Hi Mr. Dinkleberg, this is my friend Tootie, and we are going door to door selling Brownie's to raise funds for our clubs. Are you interested in buying some? Here's a free sample." Mr. Dinkleberg took the small sample of brownie, and as he began to eat it, his eyes opened wide and his voice began to sound deeper as he said, "MORE…GOOD…MORE!" Tootie just stood there in amazement as Mr. Dinkleberg craved more of the sweet confection. "Timmy, how many per dozen?" Dinkleberg asked. "Their 50 dollars per dozen." Tootie didn't think that they would even get that much for one box. But when she saw Mr. Dinkleberg pull out his wallet and say, "I'll take all you have here Timmy." Tootie stood there in shock, as they made the 1st 1000.00 dollars in mere minutes. "Timmy, I can't believe it! We may actually get the money to get Vicky the dates with Logan!" Timmy just smiled and said, "On to the next house."
As the two continued to go door to door, they sold the whole lot of brownies in no time at all. They went back to Timmy's house to count their earnings. When all was said and done, they ended up with 7100.00 dollars total. "Timmy, I can't believe you did this! What was in those Brownie's? We couldn't pass them out fast enough." Timmy felt good seeing that Tootie was going to get what she wanted. He also felt relieved that Vicky would not be able to watch him on prom night either. Timmy then said the following to Tootie, "Here Tootie, take 1000 dollars, and see that Vicky gets a good dress, shoes, and make-over. I'll drop the money off tomorrow after school to the escort service, so that we can lock in Logan. He can use the extra funfs for gifts or entertainment on their date." Tootie just looked at Timmy with puppy dog eyes. They began to well up with tears as she looked at his face. She always knew that deep down inside, Timmy cared about her. Now, he went out of his way to prove it. Tootie then reached out and gave Timmy a big hug, "Oh Timmy, Thank you…Thank you so much. This means a lot to me, and it will make Vicky the happiest girl in the world." Timmy tried to break free of her grip. He then gathered enough strength to muster the follow speech, "Tootie, I can't pay Logan tomorrow if you suffocate me." After hearing that Tootie let go. She thanked him one last time, and then went home as happy as only a little 12 year old could. Timmy just smiled quietly to himself as he watched her skip home merrily.
Wanda, now back in fairy form, broke the silence as Timmy followed Tootie down the block with his eyes. "Well, I hope for all our sakes that Jorgen doesn't find out about what we did to get this money." Timmy just looked at Wanda and said, "I'll take full blame for it all Wanda if he does. Right now, I feel no pain or guilt. Tootie will now be able to get Vicky a date, even if he is bought and paid for." Wanda, looking at her god-child smiled softly. She could see that Timmy was starting to grow up to be the responsible young man that she had hoped he would. "Well Timmy, looks like we better call it a day. We need to get down there tomorrow before 5 and pay the escort service." Cosmo chimed in, "Has anyone seen Poof?" They all looked around. Suddenly, a loud booming noise came from Timmy's bedroom window. They all heard the following noise, "MORE…GOOD…MORE!" Timmy just shook his head, "Looks like Poof got into his stash already." With that being said, they all ran up to his room, to calm Poof down from his Brownie high.
Stay tuned, the fun is just about to begin. I will post again in a little over 2 weeks. It's summer, so I have more responsibilities than time now. Still, I would love to hear your comments on what you think so far.
