I DO NOT OWN THE FAIRLY ODDPARENTS


Forever's Beginning Ch 6

Cosmo's alarm went off, rudely waking him up. He groaned as he rolled over to turn it off.

Today was the first day of school, and Cosmo couldn't have dreaded it more. He didn't want to go back; school was boring, the work was hard, and the people were mean to him.

The only thing that got him out of bed was remembering that Wanda would be there too, and he might get a chance to see her. He would do anything for a chance to see her.

He smiled to himself as he continued to think about her. He'd never seen someone as beautiful as her. He loved her swirly pink hair, it reminded him of cotton candy! And her eyes, her gorgeous pink eyes, they were so warm and kind. But Wanda wasn't just beautiful on the outside. He'd never met someone so kind and compassionate. He loved how she'd actually listen to him when he spoke, and how she forgave his mistakes. The fact that she actually wanted to talk to him overjoyed Cosmo.

He sighed as he got out of bed and got ready for school.


When Wanda's alarm woke her up, she immediately jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom across the hall. Blonda took forever to get ready, and if she didn't beat her there, Wanda knew she would be late.

Wanda didn't dread school like Cosmo, but she didn't exactly enjoy it either. Sure, she was considered popular, and she had a lot of friends, but it was all very fake to her. All but a few of the girls she talked to were snotty and stuck up, and they really only hung around her to gawk at Wandissimo.

Ugh. Wanda thought and rolled her eyes as she continued to get ready.

He'd taken her out to dinner yesterday, and had spoken maybe 10 words to her all night. He was too busy staring at his reflection to hold a conversation with her, and as soon as he'd put the mirror down, girls would flood their table, and he'd flirt with them all. She told him that she was upset by it, and he just came up with lame excuses. "It was a mistake bonita. Forgive me my love." That was no mistake, what kind of fool did he take her for? If he really felt bad about it, he would have stopped the first time she told him that it bothered her. But no.

He's so selfish and full of himself. How did this last as long as it has? She thought to herself.

She'd been putting off breaking up with him until they were alone, and unfortunately they hadn't been all Summer. And now she felt guilty. She didn't want to break up with him RIGHT as school started. She resolved to break up with him in a month or two, once everyone was in the swing of things.

But she didn't want to think about that right now. She wanted to think of something happier… Like Cosmo...

After their day at the pier, they had gone out a couple other times. Each time just as amazing as the last.

Wanda was never as happy as she was with Cosmo.

And hopefully, I'll get to see him today!

Wanda smiled as she continued to get ready for school.


BRRRRIIIIIIIIING!

The lunch bell rang, and young fairies started pouring into the halls of Carl PoofyPants High. And while everyone seemed to be in cliques, one green haired fairy stood alone.

Gem had told him that he should wait for him before going into the lunch room. Whenever Cosmo went in himself, there was always trouble…

So Cosmo stood patiently in front of Gem's locker, about 20 feet away from the cafeteria doors. He watched the swarm of people cram in, and caught a glimpse of something very familiar… A large pink swirl of hair…

Wanda! There she is!

"Wanda!" Cosmo called out, but she must not have heard him, because the crowd just kept moving.

I gotta go after her… But I'm supposed to wait for Gem… But Wanda is… Wanda…

"I'm going in!" Cosmo beamed to himself.

Cosmo dashed down the hall and crashed through a few people standing in the doorways. His eyes darted around frantically. Desperate to find that special shade of pink that never ceased to make him smile.

There!

Cosmo spotted her at the other end of the lunch room and quickly scurried over to her.

"Hi Wanda!" He exclaimed, perhaps a little too enthusiastically.

Wanda turned around in her seat and smiled. "Hi Cosmo!"

She immediately jumped up. "How's your first day going?"

"Oh… Well, I mean… My new locker smells like cheese! So that's really awesome! But everything else, not so much…" Cosmo shrugged.

He and Wanda had discussed his past experience with school. It was well known that Cosmo was the school punching bag, and it never failed to make Wanda upset whenever they talked about it.

Of course Cosmo had already been teased relentlessly in each of his classes so far. But Cosmo didn't want to make Wanda upset, especially not when she looked so pretty today.

Just like she does everyday…

"Well that's good! You LOVE cheese!"

"It's the best thing ever! Well, almost the best thing ever…" He trailed off and looked at his shoes. "You're way better…" Cosmo finished and glanced up shyly at her.

Wanda beamed at him. He's such a sweetheart!

She couldn't help but blush… No one had ever thought so much of her as Cosmo.

"Hey," an unfamiliar voice rang out and Wanda directed her attention to him. A shaggy, red haired fairy came bounding towards them. "Cosmo, we need to talk, NOW."

"Aw Gem? Do we have to? I'm having so much fun here with Wan-"

"Shh!" Gem clamped his hand over Cosmo's mouth and began to drag him away.

So THAT'S Gem… Wanda thought to herself. What an odd pair of friends…

Gem caught Wanda staring, "Don't worry. We'll be right back. You must be Wanda, nice to meet you I'm Gem I'm a good fri…" Gem's words were unintelligible by the time the reached the hall.

Cosmo finally wriggled free. "Gem? What was that about?!"

"Dude, you have to forget about her."

"What?! No! Why?" Cosmo practically screamed.

"Dude. I saw her in my homeroom class. That's Wanda FairyWinkle!"

"Hey!" Cosmo interrupted, "I may not be the sharpest bulb in the closet but I know her name!"

"Cos, shh! Lemme finish!"

Cosmo silenced himself and listened.

"THE Wanda FairyWinkle. Like one of the most popular girls in school? The one who's dating WANDISSIMO?"

"Wh..what?" Cosmo stammered.

"Dude, she has a boyfriend. And a boyfriend that HATES you at that."

"No way Gem! I never heard of him, and she would never lie to me!"

"Cos," Gem moved to put his hand on his friend's shoulder, "please listen. I don't want you to get pumbled…"

"Well why don't we just go in there and ask her ourselves!?" Cosmo demanded.

"Oh no…" Gem muttered as he followed his friend through the caffeteria again.

Cosmo flew with his head up high, he knew he was right. I mean how could she not tell me? Cosmo and Gem finally got to the table, and Cosmo walked nervously up to Wanda.

"Hey, can I ask you something?"

"Of course Cosmo, anything." Wanda smiled back at him.

"Well, Gem heard… but I don't know if it's true… But do you… Are you with…"

"Cos! Out with it already!" Gem groaned.

"Do you have a boyf-"

"Idiot!" A loud spanish accent rang out. "Get away from mi amore!" Suddenly, Wandissimo Magnificio appeared in between Cosmo and Wanda.

"riend?" Cosmo finished weakly.

"Wan! Don't call him that! He's a friend. His name is Cosmo and-"

"You're actually friends?! With this LOSER? You must be joking, no?"

"Hey. I said quit it!" Wanda snarled at him.

"Fine." Wandissimo growled.

"So," Wanda turned back to her friend. "Cosmo, this is my… boyfriend… Wandissimo."

"Yeah," Cosmo whispered. "We've met."

Wanda shot him a confused glance, but then Wandissimo pulled her away from him.

"Bye Wanda…" Cosmo muttered.


I know I know! I'm sorry! I haven't written anything in 2 years and now I'm leaving y'all on a cliffy!
