Chapter 5
It has been over a month since Denzel Crocker went to that middle schooler party. The Ten year old boy has been adjusting to his life without his dad with his fairies around. He even started using his fairies to help other people more than just himself. Of course no one new about Cosmo and Wanda. Everyone thought Denzel was helping others all by himself, but nope, he had his two fairies in disguise who helped him help others along the way. Whenever somebody needed help, like his class mates he and his fairies would be there. Heck, Denzel even had to rescue people from time to time. It was all right though, as long as he had his fairies by his side.
Helping others helped Denzel keep his mind off his dad. His dad leaving still pulled at his heart strings a little. Sure he had an angry dad who didn't understand him, but he still loved him and missed him. That's all Denzel ever wanted was a dad who would understand him and to be proud of him. But, he'd just didn't get to have that.. His dad either didn't understand what he liked or he was angry at him. Denzel was glad to at least have Cosmo as a god parent. Cosmo was always happy and liked to hang out with him. Cosmo even understands him more than his dad ever would. Yep, Denzel loved his fairy god parents.
One afternoon, Dolores-Day was talking on the phone. She was talking to Darrells. Dolores-Day still loved her ex husband, but she has also been adjusting well to him being out of the picture. She hoped Darrells was happy in another country, living a totally different life and it seemed like he was. His job has been going great. He even got a promotion. He liked this job more than the other job he had back in Dimsdale. Which was great.
A thing that did surprise Dolores though was that he was seeing another women. She didn't expect him to go out with another women after their relationship. But, he did meet her at work. Darrells has sent a letter in the mail that also had pictures of him and this women named Salina in it. She looked very pretty too. Dolores didn't want Denzel to see that letter and she especially didn't want him to see those pictures. She was worried on how he would take the news. Little did she know that her boy was listening to their conversation on the stairs, hiding behind the wall. Denzel heard his mom say something about 'how is she doing?'. She? Who was this she that her mom was talking about?
Denzel went upstairs to his mom's room. Since his dad left, his mom's room felt empty somehow. Denzel walked up to the dresser to see a hand written letter, it was from his dad. There was also pictures next to the letter as well. Denzel picked up the one picture that was right next to the letter. It was a picture of a lady. A lady Denzel had never seen or heard of before. Her soft brown brunette hair was up to the length of her shoulders. She looked to be around his dad's age. Was this the she that her mom was talking about? Denzel looked at more of the photos. The photos had this lady and his dad in them together. Some of the pictures had his dad and this lady together in an apartment and another had his dad and this lady together at a restaurant. This made Denzel mad. Denzel read the hand written letter and it sounded like his dad was seeing this women. Denzel gripped the letter in his hands.
He knew his parents were no longer together, but how dare his dad go see another women. Denzel grabbed the photos and walked out of the room. He wanted to destroy these photos so they would never be seen by anyone else ever again. He wanted everyone to know that it was just his mom and dad that were ever together. He didn't want anyone else to know that his dad was seeing somebody else. Denzel walked into the bathroom. Cosmo and Wanda appeared above him.
"We're sorry about your dad seeing somebody else, sweetie" Wanda told him. Denzel grabbed a pair of scissors from a drawer.
"It's not fair! Even though my parents aren't together, my dad shouldn't go out dating like that! All I want people to know is that is my parents were the only ones together. That they wouldn't date anyone else cause that's how close they really were" Denzel cried. Denzel sat on the bathroom floor with a picture in one hand and scissors in the other.
"What are you doing?" Cosmo wondered."I'm cutting these pictures up into tiny little confetti pieces" Denzel answered."Sweetie, you shouldn't destroy those pictures even if you are angry" Wanda told him."There are better ways to handle your anger"."Yeah, like we can go out and destroy your math books instead" Cosmo suggested. Wanda gave Cosmo that look that she always gave him."What" Cosmo said."Sorry, guys, but this is something I have to do" Denzel told them. With scissors in his hand, Denzel started to cut up the picture with Salina. After about an hour, Denzel had cut up all the pictures into confetti pieces. He threw them up in the air, satisfied as they all floated down. But, he was still upset with his dad, deep down inside.
"Denzel, your mother is probably wondering where you are" Wanda told him, wanting him to fix this mess and leave the bathroom. Denzel sighed.
"Okay". As if on cue, Dolores-Day started calling for Denzel.
"Denzel. Are you up there"."Oh, no!" Denzel cried."I can't let mother see I cut up all of dad's pictures. I wish the pictures were back to normal". Cosmo and Wanda smiled.
"You had enough revenge for one day, sweetie" Wanda said. With a wave of their wands, all of the cut up pictures were turned back to normal as if Denzel didn't cut them up at all.
"Yeah, mother. Be there in a second!" Denzel cried.
"I wish these were back where I found them" Denzel whispered. With a blink of an eye, the pictures disappeared. Denzel opened up the door to the bathroom.
"Sorry, Denzel. Didn't know you were in there" Dolores said."Dinner will be ready soon".
"Alright, mother. Be down in a minute" Denzel said, then sighed a sigh of relief. She didn't know he knew about the pictures, good and the pictures were back were they were. As if they were untouched. Which is also good. Things were alright… for now.
That night, Denzel had a nightmare. He was all alone at night in a dark forest. He heard the howling sound of the wind blowing threw the trees. It was also foggy out and there was a full moon in the sky. Denzel started hearing snarling sounds behind him. Denzel ran off, the snarling sounds getting louder and louder as he ran. He needed to take cover. He saw his tree house, but it seemed so far away. He heard another loud snarl and he ran even faster. When he finally made it to his tree house, he climbed up the ladder and he finally caught his breath.
He could hear his heart pounding in his chest. Whatever was chasing him was getting closer, there was heavy breathing below the treehouse. The mysterious figure below suddenly popped up. It was a purple, furry monster with big, sharp teeth. Drool was coming out on the sides of it's mouth. Denzel screamed and the monster pounced onto him. The monsters heavy weight crushing him in the process.
Denzel woke up screaming. Wanda came rushing over, wrapping her arms around the small boy as she brought him in for a hug. Denzel was crying. Wanda started to stroke the boys hair, gently.
"Shh, Shh, Denzel. It's alright. It's all over now. Wanda's here" She soothed him. Denzel sniffled as he started to settle down.
"Thank you, so much, Wanda" Denzel said with a smile as he continued to hug her."Of Course, sweetie" Wanda said. Where would Denzel be without his fairies?
March 15th 1972
Weeks have passed since Denzel had that nightmare. It was now March 15th. That was going to be the worst day of Denzel Crocker's life. A News reporter has made today Denzel Crocker day to celebrate Denzel saving his students lives. The whole town was going to celebrate, but unfortunately his own mother couldn't come because of her job. Of course Denzel was sad that his own mother couldn't come to his celebration. First his dad was always mad at him and didn't care what he wanted to do with his life and now his mom was always to busy working to spend time with him.
That's why his fairies were good back up parents they were always there for him… no matter what. At the celebration, Denzel was gonna give a speech in front of the whole town. His whole speech appeared in his hands by his fairy god parents, who were now disguised as parrots. During his long speech, Denzel said that he wanted a pony when he was 4 and thats when Cosmo appeared on top of his head in his parrot form, and begin speaking into the microphone!
"Pony. Who wants a pony when you can have anything you want; because I'm-"Cosmo then poofed up into his fairy form in front of the whole ceremony!
"A Fairy god parent!" Cosmo cried out as he poofed up a huge sign over him that said 'I'M A FAIRY GOD PARENT'. The whole town gasped at the reaction that Denzel has a fairy god parent. So that's why Denzel could do all the great stuff he did because he had magical fairies.
"Denzel Crocker!" Jorgen roared as Da Rules book came down from fairy world in front of the young Crocker."You have revealed your secret!". Denzel dropped down to his knees as he cried out that it was a mistake. Fairy agents came down and Jorgen appeared in front of him.
"Now you will lose your fairy god parents" Jorgen said. He explained that everyone will forget that he ever had a fairy and all the things he ever he did with them. Jorgen started to zap Denzel's memory away, over and over and over again until he forgot everything about his fairies and what they've done for him. After Denzel and the town's memories were wiped, Jorgen and the fairy agents disappeared with with Denzel's fairies. Denzel having no memory of what just happened and no memory of his fairies at all.
Everyone finally came out of a trance and the town was wondering what they were doing at the ceremony. No one remembered that today was Denzel Crocker day. The crowd saw all the signs that had Crocker's name on them. The crowd figured that they weren't celebrating anything and that they were an angry mob instead. So, the crowd started chasing the ten year old boy. Denzel screamed and ran off, trying to get away from the angry mob. Denzel didn't know why the mob was after him. He didn't do anything wrong. He didn't even remember why he was even there. As Denzel was running away from the mob, he hid behind bushes and trees.
Once Denzel was sure the mob was gone, he ran straight home where he knew he was safe.
But, he couldn't help feeling that a part of his life was just suddenly ripped away from him. Why was he suddenly standing in front of a whole crowd? Why did they suddenly chase him down the streets? What did he do? He didn't remember anything. What he knew was that there is something more powerful out there in this world than science. He just didn't know what yet. But, he planned to make it his life's mission once he found out. Sure he was a scientist and he was thinking about being a teacher once he grew up since his dad mentioned it to him before he left. Denzel was a smart kid so he was thinking about majoring in math and science. A young boy like him shouldn't be thinking about that stuff yet, but he was. He was different than other kids. He loved science. He loved inventing and he loved making experiments.
But, there was something else out there that hasn't been discovered yet. He had a feeling it was something magical. It had to be. There is no other scientific reason for it. Sure science claims there's no such thing as science, but screw that. He was gonna prove that magic is real. He's gonna be a different type of scientist thats for sure. He hoped to be better than has dad and had different insight on things. Denzel wanted to make discoveries. Discoveries that other scientists haven't made yet. He'd make sure of that. Just because there was no scientific proof yet doesn't mean it's not real… right. Yep, Denzel Crocker was gonna make discoveries that other scientists haven't made yet.
When Denzel finally made it inside his house safely he started to catch his breath. He was still trying to wrap his head around with what just happened and why it happened. He'd never been chased by a mob before. The crowd thought that them standing there had something to do with that Crocker kid and had no other explanation than being an angry mob? What was with people?
"Hey Denzel, sweetie. How are you?" Dolores-Day asked sweetly. She had came home from work recently."Confused. Dizzy and delirious. An angry mob just chased me for no apparent reason, mother!" Denzel cried. Dolores had a puzzled look on her face. An angry mob chased him for no apparent reason? That made no sense at all. Was he just making stuff up just to get attention? Also why did he suddenly say the word delirious? She never heard him say that word before. Where did that come from and where were his pink and green parrots?
"Denzel" Dolores scolded."You're not saying this just to get extra attention are you?".
"No, Mother!" Denzel cried."I'm serious. An angry mob was chasing me for no apparent reason! The mob figured them standing there had had something to do with me and started chasing me. I hid behind bushes and trees until I lost them and ran home… and here I am. I had no idea what I was doing there myself. I was totally confused and they took it out on me" Denzel exclaimed.
"Alright, mister that is enough!" Dolores scolded her son." I will not stand this type of behavior in this house. You know better than to make up stuff like that. Now, go to your room and don't come down until dinner! I'll talk to you about the rest of your punishment later". Denzel huffed and stomped up to his room and slammed the door. Dolores gasped. Denzel is slamming doors and making stuff up about angry mobs chasing him. What was happing to her sweet little boy. Although, she knew that they all have to grow up some time. Hopefully Denzel would go back to his happy go lucky self in no time.
