Fairly Odd Countdown Calendar
I don't own Fairly Odd Parents. Butch Hartman does.
Pairing: friendship Cupid x Wanda.
Prompt: Christmas Movies.
…
"You know I'm not a huge fan of musicals, right?"
Wanda glanced at Cupid out of the corner of her eye, "C'mon, Cupid, this movie's great. The songs are really nice."
Cupid shrugged and crossed his arms, "I guess…Though, I still don't get why they're necessary…"
"It's a musical, Cupid. Just watch it."
Cupid sighed, but didn't speak again. Pah. You never heard of any Valentine's Day movies. Of course, then again, he supposed every romance movie was technically a Valentine's Day movie. "Why is he singing again? Hasn't he ever seen snow before?"
"No. That's the point of the song."
"Why is he singing about -"
"Shh!" Wanda hissed at him. Cupid grumbled to himself and waited for the song to finish. At least he had comfort in knowing that there were a ton of love songs out there.
It only took ten minutes to go by before Cupid spoke again, "They're gonna end up together, right?"
"Huh?"
"Him and that girl with the stitches. They're gonna end up together, right?"
"I'm not saying."
"But she just went to his house and gave him that basket and stuff! She jumped out of the window for him! They have to end up together!"
"Cupid -"
"I'm Cupid and I say they have to end up together!" Cupid suddenly declared childishly. "If they don't, I'll go to the director and…have a stern word with him."
Wanda rolled her eyes. Trust Cupid to get overly-emotional over a Christmas movie. She had only invited him around to try and get him into the holiday spirit (Christmas, that is. He seemed to only want to celebrate his own holiday). Now, she was stuck with him making comments about the movie every few minutes.
She tolerated his comments for a while, then paused and looked to him. "Cupid…? You're oddly quiet."
"Yeah…so what?"
"Are you…enjoying it?" She asked, almost sarcastically.
Cupid frowned at her, "I just know how she feels, okay? 'For I am not the one', yeah, I know that feeling."
Wanda let it slide, despite the surprise she felt. They sat there for another twenty minutes or so - in which Wanda endured Cupid cheering characters on and telling them off when they didn't so what he wanted them to do. Then, as the last song played, Cupid suddenly jumped up, "YES! I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD END UP TOGETHER! 'SIMPLY MEANT TO BE'! SEE?!" He turned to her, "Do I know my fictional couples or what?"
"You criticized everything they did!" Cupid gave her a shrug and Wanda sighed.
There was an uncomfortable silence before Cupid turned to the TV, "Hey, let's watch it again."

Author's note:
Cupid gets really into movies, okay? Especially ones with romance in them.
And, yes, they were watching Nightmare Before Christmas.
