Chapter 3: Just Friends...

It was Saturday morning as Tootie was in the kitchen making some cereal. She was curious to where her best friend might be after last night. But still, Tootie cares a lot about him and hope he's safe. She heads inside the living room and turns on the television set. But at that moment, the news was on.

"Good morning, Dimmsdale! This is Chet Ubetcha with the most tragic news! Dimmsdale High student, Max Dixon, was declared dead after his house was burned down by the flames inside. The police officials say that the fire may have been caused by a faulty wiring problem. But unfortunately, Max was never strong enough to survive."

"Hmph! That will serve you right for raping me, you sick bastard," Tootie spat as she turns the channel.

But then, she heard a faint sound. Tootie thought it was nothing as she turns some more channels. The sound grew louder as if it was music. It was a sound of the guitar and Totie was curious.

"It can't be! But can it be him?" Tootie said to herself as she searched for the sound upstairs. It soon lead her to the attic as she was looking around to hear the sound. It was then that she spotted Timmy Turner and he was playing on his own guitar that has the body of a star.

But before she would say anything, Timmy starts to sing as Tootie's heart was beating to hear his most gentle voice.

[Papa Roach-Reckless]

Please forgive me while I turn out the lights
Watch this haunted day turn into a wasted night
So cut me off-throw me down
Cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

I'm reckless
So reckless
God save me from this madness(2x)

Tootie was speechless to how well he sings. But she wanted to hear more as she walks up close to him.

I'm walking on broken glass from the wreckage of my past
I'm locked up in a cage 'cause I'm a prisoner of my ways
So cut me off-throw me out
'cause I'm reckless, I'm a reckless goddamn son of a bitch!

I'm reckless
So reckless
God save me from this madness(2x)

Thank god I've got a women with my name across her heart
Loving me ain't easy, loving me is hard
I'm sorry about the madness but that's the way its gotta be
'cause it takes a crazy woman to love a reckless man like me

I'm reckless
So reckless
God save me from this madness(4x)

[End Song]

Timmy finished singing as he patted Sparky's head. Suddenly, he heard clapping as he turns to see Tootie.

"Timmy, that was...wow!" Tootie said with a happy sigh.

Timmy smiled a little and placed his guitar down. "How long have you've been here?"

"From when you started singing. I didn't even know you could play that well." She said with amazement.

Timmy chuckles softly and replied, "Well, I started playing when I was 10. It helps me think better and clear my problems away."

"I see," Tootie came up closer to him and sat down. "Did you ever show your talent to Trixie?"

"Nah, I didn't even try to do that for her. I did, however, requested her a song, but she made it looks like garbage." Timmy said.

"She really need to be more grateful to have someone care that much for her. Otherwise, she'll just die alone with only her money and total strangers on her deathbed." Tootie spat sincerely.

Timmy smiled and replied, "It could happen one day."

Tootie giggled as she looks at the window that was drawing the lights. The sun was out and the skies show no sign of clouds anywhere. "It's such a beautiful day outside."

"I don't blame you." Timmy then had an idea. "Say, Tootie, how about we go to the mall for a bit?"

"That sounds like fun. Also, I got a text from my mother this morning saying that her and dad were gone for the weekend." Tootie explains.

"At least we can hang out together like old times." Timmy said with a smile.

"That's sounds great, Timmy. Just let me change into my clothes real quick, ok?" Tootie implied. Timmy nodded as the two teens get dressed for some weekend fun.

Tootie was astounded by the fact that Timmy Turner has his own chopper bike. After they got dressed and head inside his garage to see what kind of vehicle Timmy rides. Tootie didn't know he can drive, but that didn't stop Timmy from surprising her.

"Wow! I didn't know you had a motorcycle!" Tootie gasped.

"Yeah, I never driven this old thing for a while now. I let my dog drive it at times." Timmy notices that Tootie was about to speak, but stops her. "It's a long story."

Tootie closed her mouth and let it be. Timmy gave her the helmet and grabs another to put on his head. He turns the engine on and sees the gas tank was full. As the garage door opens, Timmy drove out from the garage and into the streets.

"Is your house safe from your dog?" Tootie asked her friend.

"Don't worry about Sparky. He tends to protect the house from intruders. A few months ago, a burglar came breaking in and my dog pointed a bazooka at him." Timmy explains to Tootie.

"Wow, your dog is something!" Tootie exclaimed.

"Tell me about it," Timmy said as they head for the mall.

-Dimmsdale Mall-

Timmy and Tootie arrived on time and knew it would be a busy day since it was the weekend. The stores were opening and the food court was fuming the area with a delicate scent of fresh items made to order.

"So, where do you want to go first?" Timmy asked Tootie.

"I don't know. It's been a while since I've been back here." Tootie replied.

"Well, don't worry! You just show where you want to go and I'll handle the rest. I'm buying!" Timmy said with a smile.

"Are you sure, Timmy? I mean, I don't want you to spend your money on me. It wouldn't feel right." Tootie said with honesty.

Timmy chuckled softly. "It's alright, Tootie! Besides, I was given a large sum of money after the funeral."

"Like how much?" Tootie asked kindly.

"About 800,000 dollars," Timmy said clearly.

"WHAT?!" Tootie shouted inside the mall as the crowd looks at who screamed. Timmy covers her mouth and laughs nervously at the stares given to them.

He led them to the elevator and decided to explain from there. "Yeah, my family may look like they are poor, but they were richer than ever."

"And they were about to give their inheritence to a basketball?! Wow, your parents are weird." Tootie stated.

Timmy sighed. "You don't know the half of it."

"Well, I always wanted to get the latest issue of the new Crimson Crin comic books." Tootie suggested.

"I didn't know you read them," Timmy exclaims as they left the elevator.

Tootie answered, "They're not that bad if you get them! Plus: I get to see how the Crimson Chin and Cleft defeat The Bronze Kneecap and Country Boy."

"Wow, you must love the Crimson Chin, huh?" Timmy said.

"Actually, I'm mostly interested in Cleft the Boy Chin Wonder. He's such a cutie and extremely hot!" Tootie sighs dreamingly.

This made Timmy blush red to how Tootie describes his superhero alter ego. He never knew that Tootie had a thing for Cleft and was feeling uneasy telling her who he was. "Y-Yeah, so I-I've heard."

Tootie looks at her friend and sees him turning red. "Are you okay, Timmy? You aren't feeling sick, are you?"

Timmy shook his head and smiles nervously at her. "Oh, I-I'm fine, Tootie! I was just...thinking of something."

"Okay, Timmy. whatever you say." Tootie complied as Timmy sighed in relief.

-Comic Zone-

As they were inside the comic book store, Timmy and Tootie were looking inside and browsing around to find the latest comic Tootie was dying to search for. But as the two teens were looking, the customers(*cough* Nerds) were watching them secretly. Why? Because they never witness a girl coming inside a sanctuary made for them.

Timmy notices this and ignores them. He helps Tootie with a few issues and got some comics of his own for him and Sparky. They had about 30 comics in Timmy's hands and Tootie leads him to the cash register.

Timmy sat the comics down and got the store clerk's attention. "Hey, Gary!"

The clerk, Gary, turns to see his favorite customer. "Timmy, what a surprise! I haven't seen you in ages!"

"Eh, just dealing with school work." Timmy complied.

Gary then then turns to see Tootie by him and curious to know who she was. "Excuse me, miss? Never seen you here before."

"Oh, I'm new here!" Tootie said.

"I see. We never had a female come into this store before. This is a first time for everything." Gary mentions to her.

"I'm with Timmy here! I hope that's not a problem," Tootie said with concern.

"Oh, it's cool! I just didn't know that Timmy has a girlfriend who likes comics like us." Gary said.

This made Timmy and Tootie blush from Gary's remark. "I-It's not like that!" Timmy retorted.

"Yeah, w-we're j-just f-friends!" Tootie added.

"Well, if you say so. Your total is $55.75. But if you still have your membership card, it's 50% off!" Gary stated to Timmy.

"I still got it, dude." Timmy pulls out his card and place it near the scanner. The comics were paid and the teens left the store.

"Later, Timmy! Come again!" Gary shouted to his customer as Timmy waves back.

"So, where to next?" Tootie asked.

"Well...how about the arcade?" Timmy suggested.

"Sure!" Tootie said in agreement as they ran to their next destination.

-Master Arcade-

Timmy was having a great time as he was shooting some aliens in the video game he's playing. The more he was shooting, tickets were starting to come out rapidly from his marksmanship. Tootie was not bad herself as she was jamming on a guitar controller and hitting the right notes.

Both of them were almost close to hitting the high score and tickets were spewing in front of them. And with one final note and shot, the two beat the games and had the gamers hearing the alarm ringing. It was the sound of victory as they cheered the winners. Before collecting their tickets, Timmy and Tootie put their names on the screen.

Alien Death Squad: Timmy T.-2,930,354

Throne Of Rockerz: Tootie M.-1,523,012

Adding their tickets up, it was exactly 100,000 tickets as it was enough for two prizes. Timmy got himself an acoustic guitar and Tootie got herself a sapphire crystal necklace. After claiming their prizes, they left and went down to the food court.

-Food Court-

"Timmy, that is disgusting!"

"Hey, you have to try it one day!"

Timmy and Tootie were having some laughs as they bought a huge box of pizza and Tootie grabs a soda. Timmy went over to Starbucks and bought himself a mocha mint-chip frappe. Tootie was laughing that Timmy would buy something so weird.

"There is no way I'm trying that with you!" Tootie giggled.

"Oh, come on! I bet it will go with my own invention I'm making." Timmy said.

Tootie asked, "Which is...?"

"Peanut-Butter Chocolate Eggnog milkshake," Timmy explains as Tootie turns green from the thought of it.

"EWWWW! You are sick, Timmy, you are sick in the head!" Tootie exclaims.

"Don't knock it till you try it! You'll see," Timmy said he drank his milkshake.

Tootie was loving his company and was happy to be with him after not seeing him for so long. She was actually feeling a lot better now that she's with Timmy. After what has happened to her, she deserved it. "Timmy?"

"Yes, Tootie?" Timmy asked after sipping his drink.

"I just want to say...thank you for taking me here. That's very sweet of you," Tootie said with a small blush.

Timmy soon blushed red and felt nervous about what Tootie said to him. "N-No problem, Tootie. I t-thought you might deserve it after I was an idiot for blowing you off a few years back."

"It's okay, Timmy. I forgive you. Both of us were having some rough times, that's all. But I'm glad to see you again." Tootie said in a soft tone.

Timmy smiled a bit and said, "Thanks, Tootie."

Tootie giggles and starts to look directly at him. "Timmy?"

"Yeah, Tootie?"

"You are not going to believe what happened on the news today." Tootie said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Max Dixon died last night in a housefire." Tootie stated as this didn't flinch Timmy. He knew what happened when it involves two tanks of gasoline and a single match.

"Whoa, that's heavy." Timmy said calmly.

"Yeah. But I didn't care anyway. He deserves what he get for...r-raping me. But you know, I was just thinking...that maybe that this was some coincidence that he died just like that. I felt that someone was crazy enough to do something like that to save someone else." Tootie stated.

"Like how?" Timmy asked with curiosity.

"Well...I always wanted Max to suffer for what he's done and deserve it. I'm not being mean, but it's a thought. But I knew what happened that night and..." Tootie reached out to Timmy's hand and enclosed it.

Timmy was surprised to realize that Tootie knew what was the cause of Max's death! "How did you know?"

"A person like you could do something reckless and stupid to help a girl out and make her feel protected." Tootie answers calmly.

"So...I guess you're mad at me?" Timmy's heart felt weak after knowing he did something wrong and hopes Tootie could forgive him.

"Timmy...I forgive you. And I know you did that just to save anyone else that Max tries to harm. Don't worry, Timmy, my lips are sealed."

Timmy was amazed by how Tootie knew and didn't plan on telling anyone about how he killed Max. Timmy felt his heart beating and knew that Tootie was truly a good friend to him. Timmy enclosed his hand to hers and smiled warmly at her. "Thank you, Tootie"

"You're welcome, Timmy." Tootie said as she leans closer to him and kissed his cheek. Timmy blushed red and looks away as Tootie giggles happily.

The moment soon ends as screams were made as people were running towards the center of the mall. Timmy and Tootie were wondering what was wrong and check the problem out.

"Someone help them!"

"Help is on the way! Just hold on!"

Timmy and Tootie made it to the scene and sees the horror of two small kids dangling for dear life on the third floor of the mall. The kids were screaming as the parents were scared to do anything.

"Timmy, how are you thinking this might end?" Tootie asked in fear.

Timmy was watching the kids and looking around to see if can find a way to save the kids. And by sheer luck, Timmy spots a SpyGear store and ran towards the store. "Be right back!"

Tootie, however, knew she can't watch the kids suffer as she needed to do something. Tootie decides to make a run for it and jumps on the nearest kiosk and leaps to the closest railings she can find.

The crowd was witnessing this and looks at how Tootie was climbing up the second floor and leaping towards the next railings. Not before climbing onto the poster and reaching towards the kids. But she knew they were far from reach as Tootie needed a little help.

But help just arrived when a grappling hook was clanked onto the rails as Tootie looks down to see Timmy tying the end of the rope and climbing up to where they are at in the middle. Timmy reaches the third floor and looks at his friend. "You are one crazy chick!"

"Says the guys whose hanging by the ropes," Tootie laughs as Timmy shook his head. Timmy then looks at the kids. "Hey, leap over here!"

"We can't! W-We're scared!" The boy said as he held on to the blanket him and his sister are on.

"Don't worry! I got you!" Timmy sain sincerely to make sure they are safe. "Just try to swing to me and I'll catch you both!"

The kids didn't know what to do but to do what he says. Slowly, they swing forward to Timmy and back to get a good leap. The blanket was looking its fabric as the kids had no choice but to jump. So they did and Timmy caught them as they held on to him while he held on with his legs and feet.

"Tootie, hold on and grab the boy! I have the girl," Timmy say as he threw the boy to her. The little girl got on the rope and slowly slid down.

Suddenly, he heard something rip as Tootie was looking in horror as the poster was tearing apart. Timmy sees this as sees the little girl safely going down to her parents.

(SFX: SNAP!)

"AAAAHHHHH!" Tootie and the boy screamed as the crowd gasped in horror.

"Oh, hell no!" Timmy leaps from the ropes and approached Tootie and the child. Lucky for him, he had another grappling hook and fires at another railing. Once he got the two, Timmy swings to the nearest kiosk and safely lands with Tootie and the boy in his arms.

The crowd cheered and applauded for Timmy's rescuing and Tootie's assistance. The boy drops down from Tootie and was in the arms of his mother. Tootie smiles at Timmy and gave him a kiss on the cheek again.

"My hero," Tootie said softly.

Timmy blushed and realized he was carrying Tootie in his arms. "Um, do you feel like getting down?"

"If you want me to, Timmy, I don't mind." Tootie said as she was off him and on the ground. People were thanking them for their heroics as today wasn't a pretty bad day.

-Timmy's House-

"This is Chet Ubetcha with the news out of this world. Two young children were hanging on dear life by the blanket as things were turning the worse. But in a last-minute effort, two unlikely couple were doing the impossible and saving the youth of tomorrow. The couple were named Timmy Turner and Tootie Maverick as they were given thanks by the people of Dimmsdale and the young children's parents! This Chet Ubetcha saying, "What would this world be without heroes?"

The television was turned off as Timmy and Tootie were smiling about what happened today. Even Sparky went up to lick them for a good job.

"Hehe, easy boy! You're drenching me in your saliva!" Timmy laugh as Tootie smiled.

"He can't help it if his owner was the hero for those kids. Isn't that right, boy? Oh, yes, it is!" Tootie said while rubbing the dog.

"Well, you weren't bad yourself. How did you climb up there?" Timmy asked.

"I did some parkour in my time. It's was mostly amateur work, but I nailed it." Tootie answered.

"That's so cool! I wish I could learn that one day," Timmy said with confidence.

"One day, I will help you with that. Also, I couldn't believe we have tickets to a concert tomorrow night!" Tootie exclaims.

"Who knew the father was a roadie for the band?" Timmy was curious about that statement.

Tootie yawned and was getting sleepy. "Man, I'm pooped. I don't think I can get up from here."

Timmy suggested something and scoops Tootie up in his arms. Tootie squeaked a bit as a blush crept her face.

"Let me help you with that, my lovely princess." Timmy mockingly bowed his head, earning a giggle from Tootie.

"Swept off my feet by my knight in armour? I'm surprised and grateful! To my room!" She ordered as Timmy carries her upstairs as Sparky follows them.

To Be Continued...

Well, there you have it! Finished it right before midnight! My goodness, I'm tired! But still, Timmy and Tootie are getting off at a fresh start and becoming closer as best friends again. Who know? Things might change them into something more than that! Plus: Timmy singing 'Reckless' by Papa Roach really meant something deep for him and I really don't know the last name for Tootie; so I made one up. More chapters are coming your way as you guys have a nice day! This is Crow saying, "I don't own characters(except Max and Gary), songs, or other stuff later on!" Later!
