POST-GRAD SUMMER
Note: This is a sequel to 'The Wrath of Remy Buxaplenty", set four years after that story ended. The usual blurb: I don't own FOP or it's characters, yadda-yadda-yadda.
Dedicated to Imagi, for encouraging me to continue...
CHAPTER ONE
Up in Fairy World, a ceremony on the parade ground of the Fairy Adademy was coming to an end.
"As commandant of the Academy Preparatory School, I would once more like to congratulate the students for graduating", Jorgen Von Strangle said to the assembled cadets on the academy parade ground, "For those of you starting vacation, enjoy your last summer before you start your freshman semester at Carl Poofy-Pants High School. For you others involved in the summer mentoring program, learn well. Class, Attent-HUN!"
The fairy rookies assembled on the parade ground snapped to attention.
"Former fairy rookies, DISMISSED!" Jorgen shouted.
With a cry of "Rookies no more!", the cadets floated an about-face, threw their caps up into the air, and cheered.
Jorgen watched the former rookies - now soon-to-be high school freshmen – mingle and chat with each other. It had been a good class, and now he could go back to torturing – I mean, tutoring – the high school graduates of the post-secondary Academy Class who were now starting their training to be official fairy godparents.
"Hey, Brendan!" Timantha called out.
"Timantha!" Brendan cried. Both of them floated over to each other and hugged.
"Rookies no more!" Brendan said joyfully after breaking the hug and holding his diploma aloft.
"Rookies no more!" Timantha echoed, doing likewise.
The four years since Fairy Timmy had become Timantha had been busy years at the Fairy Academy Preparatory School, but in that time, Brendan and Timantha had become very close. Timantha had completely adjusted to the female mindset and lifestyle, and Brandon had become her boyfriend.
"Hey, Sweetie!" Wanda said as she and Cosmo floated over to congratulate their daughter, "You did it, and with excellent marks as well! I'm so proud of you".
"Yeah, me too. It makes a nice contrast to my prep school grades", Cosmo echoed.
Timantha hugged Wanda and Cosmo.
"You have to thank Brendan for helping me get through, Mom", Timantha said after breaking the hug, indicating her boyfriend, "his study habits rubbed off on me".
Wanda smiled at Brendan. Not only was Brendan the honor student of the class, Wanda really liked him, and was glad that her daughter was now going out with him. Cosmo liked Brendan as well, though there was one thing about him that made him shudder some…
"Hey, Cosmo!" a familiar voice said, making Cosmo shudder some, "How's it been?"
Luther was a classmate of Cosmo when he had gone to Carl Poofy-Pants Fairy High School. Actually, Luther was the principal class bully and Cosmo was his favorite punching bag. Brendan was Luther's son.
"Uh… hi, Luther" Cosmo replied uneasily.
"I see that my son and your daughter have hit it off pretty well", Luther said cheerfully, after giving Cosmo a backslap that felt like a train crash.
"Yeah, haven't they?" Cosmo replied as he rubbed his bruised shoulder.
Timantha and Brendan smiled at each other at the scene. Both of them knew their parent's past at Carl Poofy-Pants High.
"You know, its amazing how fast they grow up", Wanda said to Luther's wife Agatha, gesturing to their children.
"I know what you mean", Agatha replied, "it seems like only yesterday when they first went to Preparatory School.
Wanda nodded knowingly. Timantha had matured quickly. From being the young girl that Remy Buxaplenty had – with the help of his former fairy godparent Juandisimo Magnifico – made from the former Fairy Timmy, Timantha had developed into a beautiful young woman fairy - with very feminine (read: sexy) lines.
Wanda knew that a lot of the boys in Timantha's class had wanted to go out with her, but Timantha remained with Brendan. Brendan had really supported Timantha in those first weeks of her being a girl, and despite some teasing about Brandon dating a former boy, Brendan had stayed friends to her.
Brendan had himself grown into a handsome adolescent. A lot of the girls in his class were envious of Timantha being his girlfriend, but to their credit, they had also taken pains to accept Timantha as 'one of the girls', and as such, Timantha had quite a few friends amongst them.
"So what are you going to do this summer, Timantha?" Brendan asked.
"I'll be spending it with my parents in Dimmsdale", Timantha replied, "Jorgen thought that this would be good for me regarding my training. Watching and learning from my folks at work, so to speak".
Brendan nodded. That logic made sense, though secretly, he hoped that Timantha would not learn the 'wrong way' of doing things from her father…
"How about you?" Timantha asked.
"Well, as you know, Mom and Dad have just been assigned a new fairy godchild", Brendan replied, "and I'll be with them doing the same thing: watching and learning from their example".
"You still don't know who it is?" Timantha asked, "or even where?". Brendan shook his head.
"They had only just introduced themselves to him - or her - at the beginning on the week. I'll know when I leave with them", Brendan repled.
"Well, I hope we'll still have time to see each other", Timantha said, holding Brendan's hand.
"I think we can manage that", Brendan replied, holding up his fairy cell-phone. Timantha giggled and held up hers.
"Ahem!" another voice said. Timantha and Brendan turned to see a figure walking (not floating) towards them.
"Don't I get a chance to congratulate the former rookies?" new Timmy said rhetorically.
"Absolutely!" Timantha replied, as she floated down and hugged him.
Brendan looked at them with a smile. He knew about the former clone of Timmy Turner, now the 'official' Timmy Turner who was the godson to Timantha's parents. Timantha had told her human friends – when in human disguise – that new Timmy was her cousin, and that was how she really regarded him.
After breaking Timantha's hug, new Timmy high-fived Brendan.
"By the way, thanks for coming to my graduation last Wednesday", new Timmy said, "Though it was regrettable that you had to be disguised".
Last Week, Cosmo, Wanda, Brendan, and Timantha attended new Timmy's graduating class at Dimmsdale Elementary School. Cosmo and Wanda were disguised as Timmy's cap and gown, while Brendan and Timantha were (appropriately) disguised as lovebirds perched in a nearby tree overlooking the ceremony. Both of them smiled and whistled (bird-like) when new Timmy's class threw their caps up into the air. They also took the chance to relieve themselves in bird fashion when Francis had walked under the tree...
"Well, it is a nice way to start the last summer before you go off to Dimmsdale High School to start your freshman year", Brendan said, "so are you still going to try out for the Dodos?"
The Dodos were the Dimmsdale High School Football Team. New Timmy – like Brendan and Timantha – had grown, and now he was quite tall and handsome, though still with those ubiquitous large teeth of his.
"Still considering it", new Timmy replied, "but it really depends on Trixie if I'll stick with it".
Trixie Tang had continued to date new Timmy regularly over the last four years. While not an overt 'boyfriend-girlfriend' couple like Timantha and Brendan, both had gotten to like each other. New Timmy respected her need to publically maintain the popular façade, while Trixie enjoyed 'letting her hair down' during their low-key dates.
"She doesn't like football?" Brendan asked.
"It's not that", new Timmy replied, "I want to play, but I also want Trixie to come out and watch me play well, not end up getting sacked, blitzed, and crunched by the opposition. Cripples don't appeal to her too much while football heroes do".
Brendan smiled at that. He himself had met Trixie not long ago, when he had visited Timantha with her parents down in Dimmsdale. POOF-ing himself into human form, Brendan was introduced to Trixie by Timantha at Dimmsdale Mall.
"Wow, Timantha", Trixie said to her best friend as she took in the handsome visage of Brendan, "You've really got a hunk here!".
Both Timantha and Brendan blushed at that. For her part, Trixie had also grown – and developed – into a very pretty young woman. Officially, Trixie was rejecting en masse requests for dates from other boys, but that was just a part of her façade. As Trixie had confided to Timantha once before, "Popularity is quite a lonely pedestal. Thank God that I have a friend like you, Timantha".
"I hate to break this gathering up, people", Luther said, "but my wife and I have to get back to our new goddaughter. Ready, Brendan?" he asked.
"Yes, Dad". Brendan replied. He turned to Timantha.
"Call me soon, okay?" he asked, while squeezing her hand.
"I will. Take care", she replied.
Brendan hugged Timantha, then he kissed her on the lips. New Timmy, Luther, Agatha, Cosmo, and Wanda looked on – smiling – at the expression of affection.
After Brendan broke the kiss, he nodded at his father.
"See ya soon, Cosmo", Luther said as he raised his wand.
With a POOF, Luther, Agatha, and Brendan vanished.
"Well, I guess its time that we head back to Dimmsdale", Wanda said.
"Good idea, I need to put an icepack on my shoulder", Cosmo replied.
Raising their wands, Wanda and Cosmo said to new Timmy and Timantha, "Let's go home!"
With a POOF, all of them vanished from the academy parade ground, and reappeared back home in Dimmsdale.
In another location, Luther, Agatha, and Brendan POOF-ed into a birdcage. All of them were disguised as parakeets. Brendan looked around.
"Interesting disguise, Dad", Brendan said, "though the fishbowl disguise that Timantha's parents have allows them to have a good set of digs in plain view".
"We have 'em too, Son", Agatha replied, gesturing to a magical portal behind them that was invisible to non-fairy eyes.
"So who is your godchild, Mom and Dad?", Brendan asked, "You finally going to let me in on who it is?"
"As a matter of fact, here she comes", Luther replied, gesturing to a door that was opening.
"Hi, Luther, Hi, Agatha", the young girl – aged about thirteen - said in greeting while looking up at the cage, "Was it a nice graduation?"
"It sure was, Dear", Agatha replied, "in fact, I'd like you to meet our son, Brendan, who will be with us over the summer".
At that, all three of them POOF-ed into their fairy form. Brendan looked down at her parent's godchild.
"Hi, I'm Brendan", he said in greeting.
"Hi, Brendan. I'm Tootie Flannigan", the girl responded in kind.
