Fairly Odd Countdown Calendar
I don't own Fairly Odd Parents. Butch Hartman does.
Pairing: parental Wanda x Poof.
Prompt: Star.
…
Poof watched as his mother picked another few baubles out of a cardboard box and placed them on the tree.
The fairy baby had never seen such a colourful tree before and couldn't quite understand why people decorated one anyway. Maybe it was just because he'd never experienced Christmas before.
Wanda had insisted on putting the decorations up traditionally; without magic. 'With love', she'd said.
Poof didn't understand that either. What was the point of having magic if one didn't even use it?
He'd tried several times to show her this, but had screwed up each time. First, he had accidentally caused the baubles to pop like miniature bombs, then all the decorations had been blown off the tree. When he finally managed to get it right, Wanda had scolded him anyway for doing magic on it in the first place.
Now, he watched from the sidelines as she did this, none too happy. That is, until Wanda turned to him with a smile, "Poof," He looked to her, "come and put the star on the tree."
"Poof?" Poof questioned as Wanda took his hand and led him over. She took their star ornament from the box and Poof's eyes widened in awe.
By the looks of it, it was made of glass, with little pieces of gold glittered over it; making it shine just like a real star.
She handed it to him but, rather than letting him float up to the top to put it on, she picked him up and held him. Poof carefully placed it on top of the tree and found himself smiling as Wanda brought him close and held him to her chest.
Poof had never done this before now; he liked it.

We don't have a star ornament at my house; we have an angel.
