The last thing I remembered was leaving Darkness HQ, having just been booted from the team. As I walked, suitcase in hand, Father Darkness came up to me and whispered something in my ear. The next thing I knew, I was on the roof of the Fairy World Space Needle with Gary. The only thing I heard him say was "Did Father Darkness help you?"
Confused, I asked "What are you talking about?"
He answered by asking "Are you trying to play dumb with me? Because if you are, it isn't going to work." I wished I was playing dumb, but I was completely lost.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." I stammered. He wasn't pleased with that answer.
He said "Okay Eustace. Now, I know Tim didn't kill you, that's his code. I, on the other hand, do not have such a code," before he pushed me off the roof. As I fell, I quickly embraced my death. Then, total darkness, yet I was not dead. I know because I woke up later in a Fairy World hospital.
The doctor entered my room and said "Mr. Strych, you're awake."
"And very confused. How long was I out?" I said.
"Two days sir. You're free to go." he said. Once he was gone, I got out of bed and got dressed. At first, I was relieved to be alive. That was, until I realized that I had no idea where my stuff was. I figured that the best place to look was Darkness HQ, where I last remembered having it. I walked all the way there, where I noticed that all the vans were gone. When I entered the house, I noticed that it too was empty. It looked like everyone had left. I then noticed that my suitcase was in the middle of the living room. Which was odd, since I last had it on the sidewalk. After making sure all my stuff was there, I grabbed it and left the former Darkness HQ. I suddenly felt very hungry, so I made a stop at the Fairy World Diner. As I sat in my booth, I could see on the TV that they were playing the news. The reporter announced the death of Father Darkness and the destruction of the legendary World's Treasure. It looked like Timmy Turner and his team had succeeded. I may have hated some of Father Darkness's decisions towards the end, but I saw no reason to kill him.
As I sat, waiting for some member of staff to take my drink order, one fairy said "Did you hear? Timmy Turner defeated Father Darkness."
"The universe is safe, all because of Timmy Turner." another fairy commented. Timmy Turner, what an annoying little creep. He gave this air of the confident space captain that could steal your girl. But in truth, he was a moronic, terrified little boy playing a part. Those fairies had no idea who they were idolizing.
So, I said "Timmy Turner is a coward."
One of the fairies turned to me and said "Son, you're talking about the god kid who saved the fairies from pixie rule. You watch your tongue."
The other one said "He's a hero to every fairy in here. You best be careful what you say next." I couldn't believe it. Those fairies were worshiping an idiot. That buck toothed simp had them all fooled, and I knew I wasn't going to convince them at that moment.
So, I said "I'm sorry, I was doing a social experiment." Both fairies decided to float away from me. I looked at the TV again to see a photo of Turner, which made me madder. That stupid smile, those empty eyes with no brains behind them, and those dreadful buck teeth. I wanted to punch that smug face of his. Father Darkness may have failed in stopping Turner from destroying the World's Treasure. But that didn't matter. If Fairy World wasn't going to open their eyes, I was going to open them myself. I said to myself "Enjoy your little victory, Turner. You thought Father Darkness was a threat? Wait till you get a load of me."
