(Wow guys! It has been too long since my last update! I decided to take a little break so my poor brain could get a little rest. I'm still in school and it is starting to get heavy since it is midterm time. Can you believe these teachers expect me to do homework? Ha ha ha! Also, my computer was attacked by a ton of viruses because I can't work a virus protector right so I had to clear everything and start from the beginning. Technology is so great that way, isn't it? Anyway, here are the shout outs for this time…
Kay-T-Person: I knew it would throw a monkey wrench into what most people were thinking. I'm sneaky like that.
Faeriefan: I'm so glad you like it and that it's not confusing. The last chapter was hard.
K-chan28: Baldwin really did do a great job at being older Timmy. As for the other question, no Vicky doesn't eat cat food. Her breath is just really bad.
Anza-Moon: It's tough for me not to accidentally have Timmy wish for something and them grant it. I have almost done that a few times
Tdcfdtl: Right now if you wish really hard.
Luckyrocks73: It's really the best? I feel so honored! Either way, welcome aboard this little journey!
Cyberlink420: Yeah, it's Vicky. I had to hang on to that one long enough to make a lot of people doubt it was her. Obviously, it didn't work that way.
Nonymous: I thought using an abandoned Dimmadome would make people feel that it really is in the future where Timmy shouldn't be a kid again. Also, I've always imagined that Vicky would want to keep her sister miserable. After all, Vicky is evil.
PTChan: Here's my two cents on that. Vicky knows about them, but they have been able to stay around because she has never openly admitted it until now. The only other person that has said it out loud is Crocker, but everyone knows he's a loon.
KwazyKandyPie: I knew you all would be surprised that the kidnapper wasn't Crockpot…I mean Crocker, but Mark instead. It made you guys keep going, didn't it?
Gennie Kags and Sess's Child: Aw, I hope your dog doesn't eat bunnies for lunch. That would be sad.
PPTeenBubbles: I always forget those little creepy things are called GigglePies. They give me nightmares.
TootyFruity21: Yes, I am going to continue on with this story. I had a bit of writers block, but I'm back baby!
Hannahkk: I loved writing that line in. I don't know how I thought of it. Thanks for your concern. It meant a lot to me.
Crazyfairy: Aw, thank you! You are the best too!
Again, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you guys. It's just been a really long month. The good news is that I am going home for a weekend soon, so I hope to update while I am there. Also, the new season of FOP is coming out so that might be giving me a little more material. You know, someone did send me a picture for the challenge. I hope to get it up soon on that fan art page I have. Just as soon as I remember the password to it. The picture looks fantastic! I still like the drawings, so if you have one send it! Anywho, one with the show and I hope you like it.)
The twin's little shoes pounded on the cement path as they made their way back to the school, their fairy godparents not far behind in bird form.
"Why is it when magic could really be useful, say…for saving their kid father from a dangerous kidnapper that they have no idea who it is…they never wish for it?" Wanda asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because in the state of panic, their brains become emptier then mine?" Cosmo said with his absent minded smile. Wanda just let out a groan and continued to follow their godchildren. Without warning, Tammy skidded to a stop. She had heard the fairies murmuring to each other and it seemed to crack through her racing mind.
"You guys are right, why are we running? We can just do this the easy way!" She chocked out to her brother. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when her brother stopped her.
"But I wanted to go get Allegra and Chip! They can help us!" He said while yanking on his sister's arm, urging her to keep going. She wrenched her arm out of his vice like grip.
"It's a waste of time! It's up to us now." She answered almost eerily calm. Tommy was a little taken aback by how settled she suddenly was. It was pretty creepy to him. He stood in stunned silence as she turned to their godparents. "I wish to be in the place they took Dad." She said clearly. Wanda gave a kind smile and raised her wand. The only problem was that Cosmo was now lazily tossing his crown up in the air.
"Cosmo!" She barked at him. With her call, he came back into the real world.
"What?" He asked, annoyed. He then looked down at the two children. "Oh, right." He too raised his wand and within a matter of seconds, they were toppling into a large pile of crates in the back alley of the former Dimmadome.
"Nice aim there guys." Tommy coughed as he tried to pull the dusty crates away from his head. Cosmo flew down and pulled the two out with just a flick of the wand.
"Sorry. We haven't been to this place in a few years, so we weren't positive that there would be something in the way of the usual landing zone." Wanda answered, brushing a bit of dirt from Tammy's shoulder. The young girl straightened her glasses.
"What's that tracker thing say now Tom?" She asked her twin as he put his pink hair back on top of his black hair. He then pulled the device out of his pocket. It was giving off a high pitched beep.
"This way!" He said, taking off down the alley. He grabbed the handle to the first door he came too, but it refused to budge. "Uh, guys? A little help?" He called out. Cosmo gave a flick of the wand and the door slammed open, with Tommy still hanging off of the knob. The other three ran in, while a very dazed Tommy staggered after them.
As his children were coming to his rescue, Timmy lay there in utter shock as Mr. Crocker entered the room. It didn't matter how long it had been, Timmy was never going to be over the fear he had of this freak of a man. Crocker just smiled at the former adult with his yellow, crooked teeth. His maniac eyes bore into Timmy as if daggers were going to suddenly pop out of them.
"Oh great, I'm in a room with a bunch of people that hate my guts. Feels like high school all over again." He thought as the hunched man approached the tiny Turner.
"Well, well, well, isn't it the little sneak that has made my life into various trips to the home for the insane?" He cackled bringing his face close to Timmy's as Vicky had done earlier. Timmy immediately had to hold his breath.
"Oh man, haven't any of you heard of dental floss lately?" He gasped. Crocker's smile flashed away as he stood back up. "How the heck do you know Vicky anyway?"
"Funny story actually. She used to be a student of mine way back when. Imagine my surprise when I met her in the loony bin a couple of times and found out that she hated you as much as I do. So I helped her develop those Vicky babysitting bots to fool everyone into thinking she was a good person, and she would spring me out of that place as many times it took. Believe me, she was glad too when she found out that you were the one that took my job away." Crocker explained in almost one breath. In the process, he had walked over and placed a hand on Vicky's shoulder. Mark instantly slapped it away.
"Hands OFF the wife Denzel." He scowled. Crocker backed off, rubbing his hand.
"Shut up Mark." Vicky hissed at her husband. Timmy swore he saw hearts in Mark's eyes when she said that.
"Anyway, Crocker here told me all about those stupid little fairies when we were neighbors at the institute. I didn't believe him at first, but a lot of the missing pieces starting coming back." She said as she walked behind him. She then put her hands on the chair and knocked it backwards. "That's for making me do nice things back then!"
"You're welcome?" Timmy thought as he looked up at the ceiling. Still, he had to keep the act that he didn't know anything past his ten year old body. "Okay, if I knew what the heck you were talking about I might have a little more reaction. Why the heck did you kidnap me anyway?"
"You didn't let me finish my overly drawn out explanation speech!" Vicky growled. She then cleared her throat. "You were living the good life after your parents stopped hiring me to torture you. Sure, you give my company money by renting one of my bots, but that is beside the point! You made my dorky sister happy and you know how much I HATE HAPPY! After talking to Crocker here, I knew I had to lie and wait for the right time. He said that if your brats were living almost the same life you did, he was certain that you would also have…" She then turned to Crocker. "You wanna take that?" Crocker nodded gleefully.
"FAIRY GODPARENTS!" He said, his body twisting spastically.
"Thank you. He told me that if the brats had them, they would probably use them against you soon enough. I guess that time was today." She sneered. The three enemies looked a lot spookier from looking from the floor. Timmy gave another struggle against the ropes.
"Let me go! I want to go home!" He yelled out.
In the halls outside the room, the two kids and magical creatures kept following the device as it lead them through the abandoned stadium. Just before reaching another door they heard someone yell out incoherently. The four stopped dead in their tracks.
"Was that Dad?" Tammy whispered.
"Couldn't be. It sounded somewhat like Crockpot." Tommy whispered in return. Up ahead was an open door with light spilling out into their path.
"It came from in there." Wanda said softly. Once again, voices floated along the lonely halls as the four pressed themselves against the cold, concrete wall. Slowly, the twins crept along with their companions close behind. It was nearly the same situation they had gone through just that morning. Carefully, they stopped just at the doorway. The conversation continued as the kids peaked their heads around the corner just enough to see what was happening.
"Let me go! I want to go home!" They heard coming from the figure tied to the tipped over chair. The twins looked at each other.
"Dad!" They said under their breath to one another. Quickly, they turned back to the happenings in the room. The tall woman let out a screechy laugh. As the three adults came under the light, the twins could pick out their Aunt Vicky and Crocker, but didn't know who the third man was.
"Like we'd make it that simple. You're going to stay here for the rest of your ever loving life. Then we'll see how happy you without that snot rag Tootie and your disgusting spawn." Vicky said spitefully, setting up Timmy's chair once more with her foot. Tommy lurched forward to strike, but was restrained when Wanda grabbed onto the back of his shirt.
"Not yet." She said, holding him back. They all continued to watch the room.
"Ooo! They are DISGUSTING spawn? We should GET some of THOSE things! I would NAME it KEVIN!" The unknown man with the pink belt. Cosmo and Wanda's jaws dropped when they heard him speak.
"That's Mark!" Cosmo said, a bit shocked. The twins had no idea who he was talking about, but this wasn't the time to ask. They watched as Aunt Vicky put a hand over his mouth.
"We are not having those." She said, shaking her head. Crocker then poked her on the shoulder.
"Those brick and cement aren't going to lay themselves Mrs. Chang. We better get to work." He smiled. It was disturbing how happy all of this made him.
"Bricks?! Cement!?" Timmy's already high pitched voice hit even higher decibels. They heard the chair give a scrape as he pulled against the ropes.
"Well, we didn't want risking you escaping now do we? Mark, Denzel, lets go get our tools." Vicky ordered. The kids drew their heads back as the trio started for the door. Without the need to wish, Cosmo and Wanda transformed themselves into boxes and fell onto the twins. The three passed by them without even a second glance.
"Come now my BELOVED Vicky. WHY do you NOT want an HEIR named KEVIN?" Marks whine echoed. They heard a sharp thwack.
"I didn't even like kids when I was a kid." Her voice got softer. Soon, they couldn't hear any footsteps. With a cloud and a poof, Cosmo and Wanda turned back into normal. All together, they burst into the tiny room. If Timmy could have jumped, he would have hit the ceiling.
"Dad! I mean, Timmy!" Tammy said, hugging him from his position. Tommy came up behind her and wrapped his arms around their shrunken dad as well. If Timmy could have broken the dumb act, he would have in a second.
"Man, am I glad to see you guys again! Quick, get me out of here!" He said as the kids released him.
"Cos, Wand, you know what to do!" Tommy smiled. With the glow of the wand, the restraints fell away from Timmy's body. Finally free, he rubbed the sore areas that the ropes had touched.
"Thanks guys, but we've got to get our butts out of here. They'll be back soon." He said, heading for the door. There was no arguing with that. They all darted out the door just as the three evil's rounded the corner. They began to run for it before they were even sure that they had been seen.
"Go, go, go!" Tammy screamed. Behind them, they could hear the trio running after them.
"Get them! Don't let them escape!" They heard. It just pushed them to keep going. Their short legs weren't helping much as the footsteps kept coming closer.
"Guys, the next corner and you get us home!" Tommy said, taking a quick glance behind them. The three were close enough that he could see the sweat on Crocker's face. They swiftly spun around the corner where they knew that they would be out of sight from their pursuers.
"NOW!" Tammy screamed. Just before the three reached them, there was a bright flash that blinded them. It took them a few seconds to regain their ground, but they charged the corner. There was no one there.
"Hey, where did Turner and his clan go?" Crocker asked.
"Dude, they TOTALLY VANISHED!" Mark exclaimed, running his hands along the walls. Vicky didn't say anything. She stood there, her face turning a violent red before she dropped to her knees.
"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
As the group set down in the tree house behind the Turner house, they all flopped to the ground. They were almost too tired to move.
"We did it. I can't believe we did it." Tommy said to himself, running his hands through his hair. This had been the most exercise that the twins had even had in their life, and they got it in one day.
"You guys rock. Who knows where I'd be if you didn't come for me." Timmy panted. Cosmo and Wanda helped the three back to their feet after several minutes.
"We couldn't do it without these two." Tammy motioned to Cosmo and Wanda. The two blushed slightly.
"It doesn't matter who did it, what matters is that you're alive." Tommy said, putting his arm around his dad's shoulder. Tammy followed suit, laying her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah. You may not be able to remember us for today, but we could just let you sit and rot Daddy." She said sweetly.
"Hey, these kids aren't as selfish as Timmy was. That's kind of cool." Cosmo blurted out. He started to laugh but noticed that no one was with him on it. "I'll be quiet."
"You guys are the greatest." Timmy smiled, placing his arms around both of them. "Thank Tom, Thanks Tim-Tam." It took a second before he realized what he just said. He then clapped a hand over his mouth as the twins looked at him with confusion on their faces.
"How do you know my nickname? Nobody but you all grown up knows that name." Tammy asked, raising an eyebrow. Timmy looked nervously to the right.
"Oh boy, how do I explain this one?" He thought. He gave a small chuckle. "Um, I don't know. Good guess?" He answered. The twins looked a little more skeptical.
"You sure are a lucky guesser for someone who thinks he's never met us before." Tommy pressed further.
"Maybe I found it on the internet." Timmy thought quickly. "I can't tell them I've known the whole time. I'll ruin everything!" He spoke. He only knew what he did wrong when the kid's eyes grew to the size of saucers. He had gotten his thoughts and what he needed to say mixed up. Cosmo and Wanda had the same reaction.
"What do you mean you've known the whole time?" Wanda asked, looking a little scared. Timmy let out a sigh. There was no use in hiding it anymore.
"I'm sorry, but I've lied to you all. Tammy, Tommy, I've known the whole time what you did. I've known about your godparents longer then before you got them. I am so sorry." He admitted. It felt like the flood gates were being opened.
"Timmy, do you know what this means?" Cosmo said with worry.
"What? Why did he lie?" Tammy asked with tears in her eyes. Timmy wasn't given an opportunity to answer. Suddenly, the floor of the tree house started to shake. They watched as the roof lifted away from the frame. The two fairies coward in fear as a very tall, very muscular, and very mean looking person began to lower down. The three human's ducked for cover under a table as the person set down in the torn apart home. Cosmo and Wand traded glances before coming to the same conclusion.
"Uh oh."
TO BE CONTINUED!
(Okay guys, this is the new version to chapter 9! I came to the conclusion that the last one that I wrote made no sense with the story and brought it to a screeching halt. This one I hope keeps up with the action. We are coming closer to the end, I promise. All of the questions will be answered and I hope you all will be pleased with it. Anyway, this took me 2 hours non stop to finish so please review and keep reading!)
(Well, there you have it. I hope it's okay for everyone. I had a bit of a case of writers block and I had a little trouble getting what I really wanted to say out of my head. I also had a very bad thing happen in my life. My friend/coworker was killed on October 21st when he went to go take a picture while hiking and he slipped off a bluff. He died instantly when he hit. It still hurts to know that he is really gone and I wasn't able to think about much of anything else. I'm just getting back to normal now, but he still doesn't leave me head everyday. I miss him a lot. That is why this chapter is dedicated to his memory and the happiness he gave me when he was here in body. It'll be tough, but things will get better.
IN LOVING MEMORY…Kevin Patrick Langlie: 5/28/87-10/21/04. I MISS YOU BUDDY!)
