CHAPTER THIRTY

Timmy watched as A.J. towards the door and left the room. The acceptance about his situation may or may not have shown maturity, but no matter what, it didn't make it hurt any less. His thoughts, though, went in another direction; what A.J. had said about him causing the iron support to vanish. Surely Cosmo and Wanda did that. They must have done that before they went to drop off Poof at Mama Cosma's. Like he had told Turbo Thunder, he was just a kid who didn't have any magic powers. That's when he heard the tell tale "poof" of Cosmo and Wanda appearing. He looked at the direction of the magical sound, and sure enough his fairy godparents were floating. Wanda spoke first,

"Hey sport, how are you doing?"

"You know," said Candace, "I remember everything about the 2nd dimension, but one thing I DON'T remember is Perry talking."

"Ferb and I did that," responded Phineas, "That headphone he's wearing makes it possible."

"You mean I was right that you and Ferb had something to do with the headphones; ha, when this is over you two are SO busted."

"Candace," said Perry, "I somehow think that your busting hobby is way down on the priority list."

"Well, regardless, what exactly is going on here?" demanded Candace, "and who's in charge? It can't be that balding kid?"

"I think A.J.," said Mr. Turner, "believes he's in charge, but our son is probably in charge. After all, he is the Chosen One and he does have magical godparents. "

Suddenly Mr. Turner smiled a little maliciously and added,

"And now I can get him to get rid of a man named Dinkleberg"

Mrs. Turner smiled and said

"And think of how easy it will be to be a successful realtor. I imagine we're going to be on easy street."

"So, that's why you want Timmy home," said a voice behind them.

Everyone looked in front of the doors to the room that currently housed Timmy, and there was A.J. looking at the Turners with a far amount of disgust.

Sitting alone on a bed, a very confused and frightened little boy was trying to make sense of what had just been revealed to him. That he was a clone and that he wasn't Timmy Turner, just a copy. That the memories he had were not even his. Was he even a real person? Jimmy did say he was real even if he was a clone with Timmy's memories. If only he had his teddy bear..

Oh, that's right, not even his teddy bear Mr. Buttons was his. It belonged to the real Timmy and since the real one was eleven years old, he was probably too big for teddy bears. So here he was a with memories that weren't really his and a life that wasn't really his. A tear dropped down from his eye.

"Okay," said Anti-Cosmo, "let's go."

"Hold on Anti-Cosmo," said Alden Bitterroot, "didn't you hear what that clone said. He's already has seen you and he's scared of you. I think it's best we led Vlad deal with this. He's good at manipulation and he's worked with clones before."

"Not very successfully," said Anti-Cosmo, "but you're right that "Timmy" knows who I am. So it's probably best to have Mr. Plasmius take care of this. After all, he had a bigger hand in creating him than I did."

Bitterroot then turned his attention to Vlad and his expression hardened.

"Now, Vlad," stated the wizard, "I'm giving you a chance, but don't think I'm ignoring Anti-Cosmo's advice about your track record concerning clones. Now's your chance to prove you're not just some 14 year old kid's foil."

"Okay," said Timmy, "I guess."

"You guess?," inquired Wanda, "is there something wrong, Timmy?"

"Guys," said Timmy, "can you grant silent wishes."

"Yes," said Cosmo, "in fact Wanda wishes me to be silent a lot!"

Timmy shook his head and stated,

"That's not what I mean. I mean if a godchild thinks of a wish, can you grant it."

"No," said Wanda, "if you recall Da Rules, the wish has to be made in the voice of the godchild."

"I know," said Timmy, "that's what confused me."

"What confused you?," asked Wanda.

"Well, something happened while you two were gone," said Timmy, "and A.J. said, "that you two didn't have anything to do with it. I caused it."

"It's kind of an odd story. First of all, I guess you need to know, we have two, no make that five visitors, and that's how it started."

"You know," said A.J., "I remember how you acted in Abracatraz prison. You were upset that Timmy wouldn't make your lives easier, and then you kept wanting Cosmo to do something to Sheldon Dinkleberg. That's one of the many reasons why you're still not ready to take Timmy back. Your selfishness."

The Turners looked stunned, but then suddenly Mrs. Turner's expression hardened and she said,

"You're one to talk A.J. I seem to remember you being angry at Timmy for not giving you a full head of hair. In fact, you seemed more than willing to join us to "get Timmy."

A.J. nodded and said,

"All right, point taken. The difference is I'm not Timmy's mother or father. Parents shouldn't be the one leading the charge to "get their kid."

Little T was still sitting down when Vlad came in. The young clone jumped and looked scared.

"Who are you?," "Timmy" asked.

"It's okay, Timmy," said Vlad, "my name is Mr. Masters, and I'm actually the one who created you."

"You," said Little T, "but I thought a blue man named Anti-Cosmo made me."

"Oh no," said Vlad, "he's just my lowly assistant. He's not very good with children."
"I know," said Timmy, "he scared me. He looked creepy.

"Yes," said Vlad, "he's not known for his good looks. That's why we keep him hidden."

Anti-Cosmo fumed and then got ready to aim his wand at Vlad to turn him into something, but Alden Bitterroot grabbed his arm and said,

"Easy, Anti-Cosmo, we won't be needing him much longer."

"You mean," said the Anti-Fairy smiling maliciously, "we're just using him to get what we want?"

"Yes," replied Alden, "once we get what we want, Vlad Plasmius is going have a new home: in the Ghost Zone."

Jimmy joined Danny and Cindy outside of the room where Little T was at.

"Well, Neutron," said Cindy, "how's it go?"

"I guess," said Jimmy, "as well as can be expected. I just told what is essentially a little boy that everything he knows about himself is wrong. You may have heard him crying; that was the worst part. I...feel terrible."

Cindy came over and hugged Jimmy. She, then, said

"I know Jimmy, but he had to be told. Plus I think the fact it came from you might make it easier on Little T. He' really taken to you.

Jimmy nodded and then looked over at Danny who was staring at the door which Jimmy just exited. Suddenly a mist or vapor came out of the ghost hybrid's mouth. Danny looked alarmed and stated,

"There's something in there with Little T."
