U1: September 15, 2009

A bruised, bleeding eleven year old Timmy Turner shuffled into his room and flopped down onto the bed. He sighed sadly. Today had been one of the many rough days that he had had in the past eleven years. Wanda noticed his emotional and physical state from the fish bowl and quickly changed into her fairy form.

"What's the matter, Timmy?" she asked kindly as she poofed him back to normal.

"Oh, life, the universe, everything," Timmy replied, sighing heavily. "First I had a run in with Francis who beat me up right before school, so I got detention from Crocker. Next he handed back our research paper and he gave me an F. I really worked hard on that paper! Then when I tried to get Trixie's attention at lunch, her bodyguard pounded me and stuffed me into a trash can filled with brussel sprouts." He made a disgusted face when he said that. "And then after detention, you know what happened? Tootie followed me home from school, bothering me all the way home and, to top it off Mom and Dad are going to the Chip Skylark concert of the century and Vicky's coming to baby-sit." He shuddered when he said that.

"So, pretty regular day, huh?"

Wanda and Timmy turned simultaneously and glared at the owner of that voice: Cosmo: Fairy World's Biggest Idiot. He just stared back at the other two with his familiar stupid look and predictably said, "What?"

"Cosmo, go take care of Poof."

Cosmo's idiotic grin returned and he complied. After he had gone, Timmy sat up and asked, "But enough about me. How was your day in Fairy World?"

Wanda, surprised by the remark, replied, "Uhh, not much. Cosmo went over to Mama Cosma's while I had a relaxing time at Fairy World Museum."

That piqued Timmy's interest.

"Fairy World has a museum? Cool! What's there?"

"Well, for one there's the original copy of Da Rules written by the First Fairy Council, the wands of the fairies that were at the First Fairy Council among many other historical artifacts from fairy history."

"Such as...?" Timmy prompted.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that. It's against Da Rules, and any child with a fairy would have their fairy taken away from them and their memory erased if they were discovered in the museum."

Timmy immediately stopped pressing the matter. He could see tears in Wanda's eyes. He didn't know why but he now knew when to stop. Instead he asked, "Did you do anything else beside the Museum."

"No, not really."

There was silence as Timmy unpacked his backpack and begun his homework.

"Hey Timmy, wanna play the Not-Study game?" Cosmo had returned and he was carrying one year old Poof with him.

"Not tonight, Cosmo, I have homework. When I'm done, maybe. In the meantime, you can play this new game I just bought, but keep the volume down please."

"Hooray!" Cosmo shouted with delight. He and Poof went off to Timmy's new Vcube 720 to play Timmy's new game, called Ring of Light 3. Wanda hovered over and watched what was happening. Timmy was studying his history textbook while Cosmo and Poof were beating the living daylights out of the alien beings on Ring of Light 3. A year ago, Timmy would have joined Cosmo at an instant when he said "…Not-Study game." But ever since his encounter a month ago with Qidoz, a new enemy who had fairy-like powers but wasn't bound by Da Rules, he had leaned the price of irresponsibility again and this time, the lesson seemed to be sticking to him. Timmy had become, in Wanda's opinion, a more mature, studious young man. Usually Timmy would forget the lessons he had learned with his fairies in about a half-month or so. Wanda was surprised that this lesson seemed to be sticking to him, but all in all, she believed that the change in Timmy was a good change. He had endured so much in his eleven years of life.

"I think I'll go read outside. It's nice out."

Timmy's sudden statement brought Wanda back to the present. She looked back at Timmy, who was putting his history in his backpack and bringing out his literature book that he was reading: War and Peace. Wanda then cautioned Timmy to be careful. He turned to her and gave a sly smile. "When am I ever not?" He the climbed out of his window, book in hand, down the rope ladder he had built earlier during summer break.

Wanda then returned to her thoughts, this time her thought turned to Timmy's impossible education, I mean, come on, War and Peace at eleven! This made Wanda so angry that if Da Rules didn't exist, she would have already broken a thousand.

Then Timmy screamed.

Wanda's fairy skills immediately kicked in. She called for Cosmo and Poof and flew out the window. Timmy was on the ground, shaking. Only then did Wanda realize that the entire ground was shaking as well. Wanda saw Timmy try to stand up but fall back down again on his right arm. After about two seconds, the shaking stopped. Wanda immediately floated down to Timmy's level. Cosmo and Poof had joined them.

"Timmy, are you all right?"

Timmy pushed himself up, and groaned. "I think I'm all right, I- OOOW!!" Timmy grabbed his right arm and winced.

"From that, I'd say you aren't all right."

Timmy looked at Wanda and smiled, but that smile faded as a look of confusion mixed with amazement and fear appeared on his face as he looked past Wanda. She turned to look at what Timmy was looking at. She expected to see a couple toppled buildings. But when she saw what Timmy saw, her facial expression changed and her jaw dropped.

"What in the world…?"
