Here's the next chapter! Anyway, enjoy!
Inside the mall, Tootie and Remy were walking with each other as Remy rubbed his arm, awkwardly. "So, Tootie... how have you been coping? You know, with the fact that Turner..."
"...is in love with some blonde haired rat rather than me?" Tootie growled to herself... then smiled. "Perfect. I've never been better. Though I do have a tendency to want to make a voodoo doll out of the blonde."
"That's nice." Remy said as Timmy and Chloe followed behind.
"Ah ha!" Chloe whispered as she turned to Timmy. "I knew she was making a voodoo doll!"
Timmy gave a nod, but shushed her as they kept watch.
"Say, Remy? What's it like... being rich, in a mansion, all that jazz?" Tootie asked. "I'm just curious because I mentioned it to Vicky once or twice, and the minute I did, she started fangirling over you... though I think it's because you're rich."
"Ah, so it seems." Remy said. "Well, to be honest... life being rich is good, but it's not... 'great', if you catch my drift."
"Really?" Tootie asked. "You think being rich means getting whatever you wanted."
"Oh sure, I could get whatever I want in a blink of an eye, and it wouldn't be an issue. But actually, and don't tell anybody I actually told you, but..." Remy sighed. "Sometimes, I would like to have my parents just... hang out more than the daily two minutes I usually get with them."
Tootie looked over at Remy in surprise. "Wow... you must have really wanted to hang out with your parents, and you got miserable just thinking about it."
"Yes, it was unfortunate..." Remy sighed. "I mean, even after I got stranded on a desert island with them, they still preferred money over hanging out with their own son. Heck, they made it off an oil rig they found on the island."
"Awww..." Tootie looked down, sadly. "I'm sorry."
"No need to worry about that. I learned to cope." Remy sighed. "I bet your parents are just as good to you."
"Oh sure, they can be great... when they aren't being threatened by Vicky." Tootie sighed.
"I heard about how bad she was, but... really, to threaten her own parents? Even I wouldn't do that." Remy said in surprise.
"Well... we don't know when Vicky's cruelness started. It could have been the moment she was born, but I never really counted. Maybe it started to develop overtime, but who really keeps score on Vicky's cruelty anymore?" Tootie sighed. "Anyway, I was almost always afraid of Vicky. Not so much anymore, but she can still be scary if she needed to be. That and deep inside, I know she cares, but she just never wants to show it."
"And your parents?" Remy asked.
"Trust me, we wish that Vicky could be a little more nicer once in a while... but that's just wishful thinking, right?" Tootie sighed.
Remy paused as Timmy and Chloe peeked out. "I guess when you put it like that... well, here's my first stop. If you want, you can walk in with me."
"Sure. I guess I have nothing going on." Tootie said as Timmy and Chloe watched.
"Three... two... one..." Timmy said as he and Chloe watched Tootie and Remy coming in.
The sirens then went off as they watched Tootie and Remy get around as crowds surrounded them.
"What do you think?" Timmy laughed as Chloe giggled.
"I think Phase One of our plan was a great success. Now to move on to Phase Two." Chloe smirked as she pulled her camera out. "Cosmo, Wanda, I wish we were ninjas again!"
Cosmo and Wanda nodded as they raised their wands pretty quickly.
Later, over at the food court in the mall, as Timmy and Chloe watched Remy and Tootie eating some Chinese food, Remy paused in suspicion as he said, "You know, that was kind of odd, wasn't it?"
"I know!" Tootie said. "I never thought just entering in that store, we'd be the billionth and first customer to enter inside. Doesn't that normally happen AFTER we buy something?"
"It does indeed, but hey, free food's free food. It saves us the matter of what our parents are cooking up... or what my butlers are cooking up, depending." Remy said.
"True..." Tootie said as she looked down.
Remy then noticed Tootie looking down. "You still depressed?"
"Oh, don't get me wrong... it's great hanging out with you... but I just wish it was Timmy here instead. I mean, not that you're a great guy, I mean, you're being pretty nice, but..." Tootie started.
"But you prefer Turner." Remy rolled his eyes. "What do you see in the guy, out of curiosity's sake?"
Tootie sighed. "I don't know. I guess because he's the first person to ever scare Vicky."
"Scare Vicky, how?" Remy asked, though he did have his suspicions.
"I wish I could tell you, but I really have no idea. Just, Vicky was Timmy's babysitter for a year, then Timmy became brave. That's all I know." Tootie shrugged.
"So, you're saying that anybody that stands up to Vicky, you automatically fall in love with?" Remy asked.
"Well, when you put it like that, it does sound pretty shallow... but I did have my hopes." Tootie smiled. "But now they're dashed because of that blonde..."
"Come on, come on... think of the idea..." Timmy muttered from the bushes as Chloe held the camera in place.
Remy paused. "Well, I wish I could help you in some way..."
Tootie's eyes widened. "Wait a minute, that's it!"
"Uh, what's it?" Remy asked.
"Remy, will you be my pretend boyfriend?" Tootie asked.
"What? Why?" Remy said, worried.
"Just to make Timmy jealous! I mean, he doesn't seem to like you, so if I date you, he'll probably be concerned because I am dating you and he'll forget about that blonde haired trollop!" Tootie smiled.
"Uh, what logical conclusion do you think..." Remy started.
"Oh my gosh!" Tootie squealed as she hugged Remy. "I knew you'd say yes! So, tomorrow morning?"
"But I didn't sa-" Remy started before Tootie kissed Remy on the lips.
"NOW!" Timmy whispered as Chloe took the picture.
"Think of this as a 'you're a great guy' kiss!" Tootie smiled. "Just... don't take it too serious."
Remy was blushing at the aspect as she got up. "Well, I got to pick up my toy. Thanks for hanging out and listening to me."
As Tootie left, Remy was holding his lips as he seemed to be blushing. Timmy and Chloe, watching, nodded to each other, knowing that they were done here. As soon as the two of them left, Juandissimo appeared as he gave a smirk.
"So, lover boy, decided to finally go out with your soul mate?" Juandissimo smiled. "Not that I blame you. Young love often starts out that way..."
Remy glared at Juandissimo. "We're not really going out, Juandissimo! She just said she was to get Turner jealous!"
"But the passion in that kiss... you can't deny it." Juandissimo sighed happily. "It is the sign of true love in the making."
"It is not! If people saw me with Tootie, imagine the backlash I would have! I already lost respect once, I am not losing it again!" Remy frowned.
"Oh, come on, you can't deny it forever. But seriously, if you don't want to do it, just go and tell her the truth tomorrow. She may be upset, but it's your decision." Juandissimo sighed.
Remy paused... then smiled. "You're right, Juandissimo. I'll talk with Tootie tomorrow and... maybe I'll even tell her I faked the picture."
"That's the spirit!" Juandissimo smiled.
"I guess I'm going to have to retract the photo now..." Remy said. "Juandissimo, I wish that picture was gone."
"Your wish is my..." Juandissimo smiled as he waved his wand... before it drooped down, engine noises comin out of the wand. Juandissimo blinked.
Remy raised his eyebrow. "What's the matter?"
"You know how in El Rules that there is a rule that 'magic cannot interfere with true love'?" Juandissimo asked.
Remy's eyes widened. "No... no way... you can't be serious... you can't tell me that..."
Over at Timmy's house, Chloe and Timmy were sitting right at Timmy's computer as Timmy uploaded the picture. Chloe smiled as she looked at Timmy and sighed happily. "You look so handsome..."
"Oh, that's a great tagline for Tootie!" Timmy said, not paying attention to Chloe as he typed in the heading. "Now, for Remy..."
"Those teeth of yours are really unique." Chloe smiled, tracing her finger on Timmy's buck teeth.
"Take it easy on the teeth, Chloe." Timmy said. "But that's a good one for Remy to say! I'll type that in!"
Timmy hummed as he typed it in. "And now, to upload this... and there!"
Timmy smiled as the picture got uploaded. "Come tomorrow, Remy's life is going to be ruined."
"Yeah, and our lives will probably resume as normal..." Chloe sighed.
Timmy then noticed Chloe looking down. "What's wrong, Chloe? I thought you want the attention about us 'loving' each other off of us."
"Oh, I do. It's just... well... have you ever thought about a person who you're friends with who you realize you didn't have feelings for... up until this very moment?" Chloe asked.
"Well... I'm afraid I don't know what you're asking me, Chloe." Timmy said in confusion.
Chloe frowned as tears went down her eyes. "Of course you wouldn't understand. I'll see you tomorrow, Timmy."
As Chloe decided to walk out of Timmy's room as Timmy looked towards the leaving Chloe in concern. He looked ready to jump out and stop her, but he couldn't move as he was still confused.
"What's going on?" Timmy asked. "Why is Chloe acting this way?"
Cosmo and Wanda appeared as Wanda sighed, "I think it's pretty obvious, sport."
"What? I don't... under..." Timmy paused. "You don't think she's in... you know?"
"It depends. Are you in... you know?" Wanda asked.
"Know what? What do we know? I don't get it!" Cosmo said, looking around in confusion.
"Well... from the way Chloe seems to look down, I feel guilty, like my heart just got depressed and moved to Lonely Town." Timmy said. "I want to talk with her... I want to spend time with her, get to know her... maybe even... maybe even kiss her."
Timmy smiled at the thought of him and Chloe kissing each other... then yelped as he covered his mouth. "Did I just say what I thought I said?"
Cosmo raised an eyebrow in confusion, but Wanda gave a smile as she said, "Congratulations, sport. You just realized you're in love..."
Timmy paused as he looked down... then looked up. "I guess... I guess I am in love with Chloe..."
Timmy snapped her fingers. "You know what? I want to give her something... after school tomorrow. But what?"
"Excuse me, Timmy, but I couldn't help but overhear your problems." Sparky said, walking up to him. "Might I offer a good suggestion?"
"I'm listening." Timmy said, turning to Sparky as Sparky whispered in his ear.
Chloe paused as she looked at the photo of Timmy that she had. She smiled as she looked. "Best friends forever, I hope..."
Chloe sighed happily as she placed a heart on Timmy's head in the photo. "Hopefully, I can become more than just your friend, Timmy..."
Chloe then looked up at the ceiling as she sighed. "I just wish you understood... just how much I love you..."
Chloe then opened her eyes... and smiled. "Wait... what if..."
The blonde haired girl gave a smile as she decided to make plans. This was going to be so good!
