Chapter 2: Mobile Home Intolerance

"Why can't you wish your dad was the best baseball player ever again?" asked Norm in frustration, "your mobile home is inducing my gag reflex, do you want me to hurl? I think I'm about to."

"I can't wish that my dad was the best baseball player ever again because last time it caused us to lose our home, and him to be thrown in jail," replied Chester, "and I like disgusting stuff. Gross is cool!"

"No, gross is gross," replied Norm, "wish it clean or… can godparents send their godkids to their rooms or punish them in any other way? Well if we can, I'll do that."

"Is not!" shouted Chester, "and I don't think you're capable of doing so. Aren't godparents for granting wishes to miserable kids? I like it when my home is like this! It's awesome!"

"Yeah, nope," replied Norm, "I guess I'll just use my magic to clean it – 'cause who cares what you think? I don't – uh, nope I didn't mean that. I do care what you think. A lot."

Norm groaned. Chester was his godkid and Norm did think he was a great kid, but Norm just couldn't tolerate his home and that made him snappish whenever he was required to be in it, causing him occasionally to go back to his old ways, and then remember that Jorgen could be listening and might punish him for it, as well as his shame for what he had done to Turner, and how much he liked Chester. He didn't want Chester to hate him like Turner used to.

In addition, when their friendship began, there was lots of dramatic stuff going down and now Norm was just another godparent out of many, and Chester was just another godkid, so Norm didn't have much to distract himself from the smell of Chester's home. Chester didn't make many wishes, so Norm didn't spend too much time with him now.

Norm POOFed the mobile home clean anyway. Even if Chester would be angry later, now it was clean, Norm could at least tolerate Chester's mobile home.


Anti-Fortune watched with glee. Norm did seem to be bored and exasperated with his life as a fairy godparent, and he had several traits praised in Anti-Fairies. However, Anti-Fortune pondered the possibility that Norm was just in a bad mood. Maybe, he wasn't actually like this usually. Norm needed to be tested more.

Anti-Fortune got out his Anti-Fairyberry and called Anti-Cosmo, telling him that Norm seemed like a promising Anti-Fairy, though he could just be in a bad mood, and might need to be tested more.

"If he needs more testing, do so," said Anti-Cosmo, "I want to make sure that convincing him to turn Anti will be beneficial to us in the long run."


Anti-Norm did remind Anti-Cosmo of his own fairy, Cosmo, who was known for causing unlucky things to happen by the virtue of his stupidity. What if Anti-Norm was similar and replacing him with Norm would harm their schemes more than help them?
