Chapter 1

One day Dolores-Day Crocker was looking through her family photos album after her son had once again, shoved her out of his room. Her son had too much of his father in him. Yes, his father. Her husband was here with them when Denzel was little. He was a scientist. That's why Denzel is always good at making inventions, so he could hunt for his crazy obsession of fairies. The invention processes had always came to him. He knew exactly how to make them, just like his father would have.

Dolores was glad that his son had his fathers knowledge of inventions, but this fairy stuff was too much. He even goes as far as saying that his student, Timmy Turner has fairies and that one day he's gonna catch them and rule the universe. She knew the poor Turner kid didn't have fairies.

How dare her son go out of his way saying that innocent kid had fairies. Denzel didn't used to always be like this. He used to be a pretty sweet kid. Then something happened that changed his life forever. But, before all of that happened, Denzel did have it a bit hard when his father was around. It happened through most of Denzel's early childhood. Dolores looked back down at the family picture of the three of them together. Denzel was just a baby in that picture. Her husband was handsome. He used to put gel in his hair to make it shine. He had black hair just like Dolores, and Denzel did, and he wore glasses too. His name was Darrells. Darrells Crocker. Darrells being a bad father, started when Denzel was just a baby.

Denzel Age 9 Months

Denzel used to get sick as a baby. He would get fevers, colds and sometimes he would just throw up. Dolores would always call the doctor whenever her baby was sick. One night, Denzel was shivering. Dolores went in the nursery to check on her son. As soon as she got to the crib, she noticed her son was shivering.

"Oh, Denzel, you're shivering. My sweet baby. Mommy's got you" Dolores said and picked up her son. When Denzel was in her arms, she felt his fore head. He was burning up. She took his temperature and he definitely had a fever. 100.3 degrees. After she changed him, she went to wake up her husband."What is it, Dolores?" Darrells asked."Denzel is sick" Dolores told him. Darrells groaned."Honey, it's the middle of the night. It's late and I have work. The kid always gets sick".

"But, he's shivering, Darrells. He's burning up too. His temperature is 100.3 degrees" Dolores told him."Darling, it's late. We are not taking him to the doctor this late. He isn't dying. Just give him some medicine to calm his fever down and get him back to bed" Darrells muttered, ready to go back to sleep. Baby Denzel started crying."Hold him for a moment, please. I'm gonna call the doctor" Dolores held out her son for her husband. Darrells held his baby boy in his arms. He looked down at his son and felt his fore head.

"Aww, you really are sick, Aren't ya, baby boy" Darrells cooed. Darrells wasn't really sure how to be a dad. He was never really big into kids. He used to baby sit when he was younger and those kids were always menaces. Always getting into trouble. Wanting to stay up late pass their bed time to watch some special on television. Wanting popcorn, ice cream, candy, or just about any snacks or sweets while they watched their special.

Darrells was never tough to kids when it came to babysitting. He would never yell at them or scream at them to go to bed. He never wanted trouble with the parents if the kids were going to whine about him. Times were different back then. He doesn't want his kid to turn out to be a menace like those kids. Their was this one girl he babysat that was really sweet. She was always polite, quiet, and always listened to him. He wants his son to grow up to be just like her.

Now it seems like the newer generation of kids are just getting worse and worse. He saw kids at a restaurants fussing over dinner, not wanting to eat it and only wanting dessert. They made such a scene at the restaurant, that the mother finally gave in and ordered them dessert instead of punishing them. He never wanted Denzel to grow up to be like those kids. But, he feared that this is where his generation is going. Dolores came back into the room.

"I have the medicine. The doctor said to give it to him now and check his temperature again in the morning. If it's still high. Give him the medicine again. If it doesn't improve in a day or so we can go to the doctors" Dolores explained.

"See. I told you to just give him his medicine" Darrells said as he handed his son back to her. After Dolores gave her son his medicine for the night, she decided she didn't want Denzel to sleep alone in his room. So, she asked Darrells to bring his crib in their room while he was sick. Dolores was protective that way. When Darrells brought in the crib, Dolores laid her son down in his crib and went back to bed for the night. Darrells went to work that morning and Denzel's fever was gone in about two days.

Denzel Age 4

It was at the age of four when Denzel had different experience's with his father. Dolores remembers that Darrells told a scary story about fairies, of all things to their son. It was one autumn night, when Darrells decided to treat his son to a camp fire outside. Denzel and Darrells were roasting foods like weenies and marsh mellows for s'mores by the fire.

"Now, son. Did I ever tell you a story about fairies before?" Darrells started as he stared down at his son with a smirk on his face."But, daddy, you said fairies don't exist" Denzel said."Oh, but they do. There once was a boy who was assigned a fairy godparent" Darrells explained. Obviously, he was making this all up. He didn't believe in fairies at all since he's a scientist, but, Denzel now wasn't sure what to believe in. Darrells continued his made up story.

"You see, it happened a long time ago, before you were even born. There was this kid who had got a fairy god parent. This kid was a curious kid, who liked to go on adventures. But, once he got his fairy god parent, he was wondering what type of adventures he could go on. Would he go to space? He always loved space, with all the stars and planets that we have in our solar system. He also loved caves. He loved going into caves to see if he could collect any crystals. But, he never really finds them no matter how much he looked.

So, one night while the kid was asleep. The fairy with dark blue hair called out to the kid who was sleeping in his bed. 'Hey, kid. Wake up. Want to go on an adventure?'. The kid woke up and turned his head. 'An adventure? Sure. What type of adventure?' The kid asked.

'Oh, if you come with me. I will show you' the blue haired fairy said. The kid grabbed the fairies hand and the fairy used her magic wand, and transported them to a dark forest. The fairy took the kid deep into the forest and left the kid there all alone. The kid was lost in the forest".

"But, why would the fairy do that?" Denzel asked."Some say, to teach the kids a lesson. Or to let witches take the god kids away for eternity and erase their memory so they wouldn't have any memory of their family, life or name and they would be the witches slaves until the witch decides to turn the god kid into a witch themselves so the witch hunters could suspect them as the witch instead of the real witch so they could get burned instead" Darrells explained."So, don't catch yourself with a fairy son and more importantly don't ever catch a fairy or else the witch would get ya". Denzel screamed and ran off to his mommy as he cried.

"Denzel, No! Wait!" Darrells cried out, not wanting to get himself into trouble with his wife. Darrells went inside and saw his four year old son crying as he hugged Dolores. Dolores comforted her son.

"Oh, it's okay, sweetie. Daddy was just making it up. That's not gonna happen to you. You know fairies don't exist" Dolores soothed him and looked up to give her husband a glare. She looked back down to her son."Why don't you get ready for bed, honey". Denzel sniffled and went off to get ready for bed. Dolores looked back up at Darrells."Why did you have to tell him that story!"."Come on, it was just for fun. I don't want to get in trouble here" Darrells said, feeling guilty for making his son cry.

"Well, you are" Dolores told him."Tell Denzel that you're sorry for scaring him. I just hope he isn't too scared to fall asleep tonight". When Denzel was done getting ready for bed, Darrells went to apologize to him. For the rest of the night, Denzel was scared to even fall asleep. It wasn't until late that night, when he finally fell asleep. After that night, Denzel asked his mom to sleep with him every night. This went on for a month until he finally slept by himself again.

Denzel Age 5

When Denzel was five, he was finally in regular school, attending kindergarten. He's been in kindergarten since the beginning of September, now it's the middle of October. He's made a few friends in kindergarten and he liked his kindergarten teacher. This was around the age when Denzel started remembering things that's been happening in his young life. Denzel has been excited for Halloween lately. Darrells has noticed this. Denzel has been wanting to go to a costume store, so he could get his Halloween costume. Darrells said that he and Denzel could go that Thursday.

That day has finally come, and Denzel couldn't wait to go. He was gonna tell his friends the next day at school about what costume he got. He was gonna go trick or treating with his friends this year and he was so excited. It was the afternoon and Denzel was going to ask his dad if they could go. Darrells was in his office on his computer, working. Not a lot of people had computers at this time, but since Darrells had a job that involved computers, he got one for himself since he had the money.

Denzel happily skipped into his dad's office. Darrells was working on his paper for work and he was just about to save it.

"Hey, Daddy, wanna go to-" Denzel started to say, but stopped mid sentence when he accidentally tripped over his dad's computer cord. The computer shut off right when Darrells was about to save his work. Darrells screamed.

"What did you do!? Why did you do that!?". Denzel's lips started to quiver. He felt like crying.

"I'm sorry, daddy. I didn't… mean too" Denzel chocked back sobs.

"You are in big trouble!" Darrells screamed more."I've lost all my work! That's it! You're Grounded!".

Denzel started crying and ran out of the room to get his mother. Darrells cursed loudly. Dolores heard this. What was her husband going on about now? Denzel started crying even more as he hugged her. Dolores stroked her sons hair.

"What's wrong, sweetie? Is Daddy mad at you?" she asked. Denzel nodded and continued crying loudly.

"I.. just… was… wondering.. if he w- would take me to… get m-my c-costume" Denzel sobbed. Dolores continued to stroke his hair and went downstairs with her son to see what the commotion was about. Darrells cursed loudly again as his wife and son entered the room.

"What is the matter with you!?" Dolores cried.

"What's the matter with me!? What's the matter with that son of yours!? You know what he did!?" Darrells screamed.

"I d-didn't m-mean too" Denzel said in a small voice, still crying.

"You know exactly what you did, you little brat!" Darrells screamed.

"Stop yelling at him!" Dolores yelled out while Denzel continued to sob behind his mom, peaking out from behind her legs.

"He tripped over my computer cord right when I was about to save and lost all my work!" Darrells screamed.

"He didn't mean too" Dolores said, still stroking her sons hair."Come on, baby. I will take you to get your costume" she told Denzel in a motherly voice.

"What!? You're rewarding him with this!?" Darrells cried, angrily. Dolores looked at her husband one last time.

"He didn't mean to trip over your stupid computer cord. Quit being a baby" She said and walked away with her son. Denzel looked behind at his dad with a sad expression on his face as he and his mom left the house. While Dolores and Denzel were out, Denzel was still upset with his father, but he tried to forget about it while he looked for his costume. Looking for his costume and telling his friends about it was supposed to be an exciting moment. But, his father's yelling was still lurking in the back of his mind while he was at the store. Denzel did pick out a costume while he was at the store. It was a candy corn costume. Dolores thought it was adorable. It had a white pointy hat that resembled the top of the candy corn and the body part of the costume was Orange and yellow.

The next day Denzel told his friends at school about his costume and his friends thought it was cool and couldn't wait to see it. Halloween rolled around and Denzel wore his costume at school and for trick or treating with his friends It turned out to be a great Halloween … even though his father never apologized for yelling at him for the computer incident. But, time did went by and things did move on. Darrells has his ups and downs, and Denzel just enjoyed being a kid. But, he could never forget about that incident. Even if he was an adult with a job, the memory would always stay with him for as long as it could. It would stay in his mind until he wouldn't remember it any longer.
