Step 5: Take Her On A Date

Timmy sat in his backyard that afternoon feeling defeated. Flowers didn't work, the necklace didn't work, neither did the dancing or the poem, and not only that but Tootie thought he was in love with her.

"Time for step five!" Cosmo said.

"Nothing seems to be working Cosmo," Timmy said. "Maybe I should just give up."

"You can't give up yet Timmy. The next thing has to work. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Now it's time to really lay it on her."

"So what's step five?"

"You have to ask her on a date."

"What am I supposed to say to her?" Timmy asked worriedly.

"Just be straight forward and ask her."

"What did you say when you asked Wanda on a date for the first time?"

"Well…" Cosmo couldn't help up but smile. He was so awkward back then, not that he was much better now, it was unbelievable. "So we were in school and she was really pretty and popular and I was super nervous. So I just kinda came out with it and said 'will you go out with me?' And she said yes, and then we went together, and then we dated for five years, and then we got married, and then we became your godparents, and then you asked what I said when I asked Wanda to go on a date with me…"

"Yeah, I know the rest of it."

"It's really easy Timmy, watch."

Wanda came over to them. "What are you guys doing?"

Cosmo held her hands. "Will you go on a date with me snookie?"

Wanda couldn't help but smile. Her husband was so romantic. "Of course darling. What are we going to do?"

"Well…" He hadn't really thought it through that far. "Black Panther just came out."

She gave him a kiss. "Then that's what we'll do."

"That doesn't count," Timmy said. "You've asked Wanda on a million dates. It's probably second nature to you now."

"Aw Timmy, it'll be fine, don't you worry," Wanda said.

The next day, Timmy was ready. He knew exactly what he was going to say and he knew there was no way this could possibly go wrong.

He went up to Trixie during recess the next day where she was hanging out with her popular friends as usual.

"Good luck Timmy," Wanda and Cosmo said.

"Thanks guys." Timmy walked over to Trixie. "Hey Trixie."

"What?!" she said exasperatedly.

"So I was just wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me. We could see Black Panther."

Trixie stood up while her friends looked on with interest. "Timmy Turner, you've given me an allergic reaction with flowers and you've tried to dance with me. Every day you keep trying to talk to me and no matter what I do or say you won't leave me alone. I don't want to be your girlfriend. I'll never want to be your girlfriend. So give it up and move on and leave me alone."

"Ouch," Cosmo said from where he and Wanda were watching.

"That's got to hurt," Wanda said.

Trixie walked off and Timmy was left standing there in shock.

"I don't believe this!" Timmy said to his godparents. "I can't believe nothing I did worked! I thought she would have at least liked me a little bit. I thought…"

He heard what sounded like crying nearby. He looked to his left and saw Tootie sitting under a tree with her face in her knees.

"Looks like she's still upset," Cosmo said.

"Broken hearts are two of a kind," Wanda said.

Timmy watched her for a moment and felt bad. He walked over and sat next to her. "Hey Tootie."

She wouldn't make eye contact with him. He noticed she was still wearing the bracelet. "Hey."

"I'm sorry about before."

She didn't respond.

"Look, I was going to see Black Panther after school. You wanna come with me?"

"I thought you wanted to go with Trixie?"

"Well...Trixie doesn't wanna go with me and...and I thought it might be nice to go with you."

It seemed like all of her sadness suddenly disappeared. "Really?!"

"Yeah…" He wondered if he would regret this.

She grabbed his hands. "Timmy, does this mean you really do like me?!"

"Well Tootie...I don't really wanna date anyone right now."

Her face fell and she looked like she would cry again.

"I'm not saying no!" he said quickly. "I'm just saying that I don't really think I want a girlfriend right now."

"So...there's hope?"

He shrugged. "I guess so."

She threw her arms around him in a tight hug. "Yay!"

"Aww, that's so nice!" Wanda said. "They'd make a cute couple, don't you think Cosmo?" Cosmo didn't respond and Wanda realized he was no longer next to her. "Cosmo?"

All of a sudden he appeared behind her with his arms around her.

"Ah!" she exclaimed.

He laughed as he began to cover her in kisses.

She then took his face in his hands and looked him in the eyes. "You're insane, you know that?"

"You love me for it," he said with a smirk.

"I do." She placed a passionate kiss on his lips. "I love you so much."
