Chpater 4 is a go! No bad for being written in a hospital waiting room XD XD (P.S. No big, my mom just needed to go for a test)
I don't own The Fairly Oddparents. But I do own Gem.
Forever's Beginning
It had been a week since that day at the diner, and Cosmo had still yet to call her. Wanda tried to come up with excuses as to why, but they always turned to rejection,
Maybe I was wrong... He doesn't want to see me again.
This wasn't the case at all. In fact, Cosmo wanted to see her more than anything. He was just too scared to call her. He'd sat in his room staring at the phone everyday since he'd met her.
He was determined to do it today though. He'd even called Gem over to help him. He sat on his bed, staring at the phone again when he heard the doorbell.
He got up and ran down the stairs to answer the door.
"Hey Cos." Gem greeted.
"Hey."
"Cosmo dear, who's at the door?" His mother asked from the kitchen.
Before Cosmo could answer, his mother had come to see for herself.
"Ahh," she started sounding rather disgusted, "Gemini. Nice to see you."
Mama Cosma hated Gem. She hated anyone who befriended her boy. She thought it impossible that anyone would genuinely accept Cosmo, and believed any "friends" he made were just going to use him. And in the meantime, they could corrupt her boy, and convince him to leave home. Which was something Mama dreaded.
"We'll be in my room Mama." Cosmo said as they ran up the stairs.
When they got to his room, Cosmo closed the door so that his mother couldn't hear them. He knew his mom hated the idea of him talking to girls.
"So Cos, whaddaya need my help with man?"
"I wanna call someone..." Cosmo answered sheepishly.
"You know how to call people Cosmo. How do you think I knew to come here?"
"No, I mean. Like... I wanna call... a girl."
"Dude! You haven't called that chick yet?! Why?"
"She's a girl! I'm scared and I don't know what to say!"
"Cosmo, gimme the damn phone." Gem said with a chuckle.
Cosmo handed him the phone and napkin with Wanda's number on it. He dialed the number, and it began to ring. Then, on the third ring, without warning, Gem threw the phone at Cosmo.
"Think fast!"
Cosmo caught the phone with a yelp.
Wanda was brushing her hair when the phone rang. She answered on the last ring, and only heard arguing on the other line.
"Gem! No!"
"Talk to her!"
Cosmo pressed the phone to his ear and heard Wanda chuckling.
Oh no! She heard that!
"Um, hi." He stuttered.
"Hey!" Wanda replied. "How are you?"
"I'm okay."
Cosmo turned to Gem for help, and he mouthed, "Ask her to do something".
"Hey Wanda?"
"Yes?"
"Would you maybe, want to umm, you know, do something tomorrow?"
Cosmo was sure she'd changed her mind. There was no way she would want to...
"I'd love to!"
"Great!" Cosmo shouted a bit too enthusiastically. "I could come get you at noon? Where do you live?"
Wanda gave him her address and agreed to see him at noon tomorrow before they hung up.
"I did it!"
"Yeah you did!" Gem replied before pulling him into a half nelson and tousling his hair. "Come on man, let's grab some dinner. On me."
And with that they headed out for dinner.
Please review!
