The Fairly Odd Teens

Episode 016: Ride of the Headless Fairy

It was once again Halloween night in the city of Dimmsdale. The sky was filled with stars as the owls hooted and bats flew. Kids were already out in costumes, going to each house for tricks and treats. And we come to the Turner home, where Timmy and his friends are ready for Halloween again. Timmy is seen in his bedroom, wearing his costume for the year. He was dressed in the Masked Magician costume, complete with white face mask.

"Perfect! How do I look guys?" Timmy asked, turning to his fairies. They looked on from their fish bowl in their fish disguise before poofing in as their fairy forms. But they too were dressed for Halloween. Wanda was dressed as a witch, Poof was a young Frankenstein and Cosmo was a white ghost.

"You look great sport. I wonder when the others are gonna get here? We've got to get going too." Wanda said. Poof sadly turned to his mom, asking if she really had to go.

"Oh Poof. You'll have fun with Timmy and the others. This is your first Halloween with other humans and I think you'll have a wonderful time." Wanda said. Cosmo grinned under his sheet.

"Yeah Poof. While you're doing that, Wanda and me are going to PARTY down at Jorgen's costume party! Ha! Talk about LAME!" Cosmo laughed. But Poof commented that it sounded fun.

"Don't worry Poof. When we come back home, you'll be able to party with me and the others." Timmy said. They heard the doorbell ringing downstairs, hurrying to the window as Timmy's dad answered the door. But as he opened the door, he yelled in fright at the sight of Chester and A.J., dressed as a large toothed beaver and a suit wearing zombie.

"Hey Mister Turner. Is Timmy in?" A.J. asked. His father peeked out from behind the couch and sighed.

"Oh. Its just you Chester and A.J. Timmy's up in his room." he said, letting them by. He then closed the door and strolled off before the doorbell rung again. He went to open it and shrieked at the sight of a cat costume wearing Tootie and a vampiress Molly.

"Yo! Mr. T! Timmy's here, right?" Molly asked. Timmy's dad looked on at them before seeing through their costumes.

"Hello ladies. Timmy's in his room. You're welcome inside..." he said, letting the girls by "...just as long as you watch out for the bald zombie and the blonde fur giant beaver!" He closed the door again, but it rung after he took one step. He opened it and yelled loudly, lunging himself into the roof above. As his legs dangled from the roof, a pop star dressed Trixie walked inside.

"Uhh...hi...Timmy's dad. Are you okay?" Trixie asked. Timmy's father tried saying something, but his voice was muffled. Trixie shrugged and walked past as Timmy's mother came in.

"Honey...don't tell me you did it AGAIN." she said, spotting his legs "For pete sakes, they're just costumes!" Upstairs, Timmy and his friends gathered together to plot their trick or treat route. As they did, Blonda poofed in dressed in her nurse outfit.

"All right sis. You and "genius" over there ready?" Blonda asked, referring to Cosmo.

"In a minute "Madam Impatient". I just wanna warn Timmy and his friends about the HEADLESS FAIRY!" Cosmo said, sounding spooky and ghastly towards the end. The others looked on.

"Huh? The Headless Fairy? What's that?" A.J. asked. Chester scoffed, betting it was another of Cosmo's stupid jokes.

"Ha! That's where your WRONG Timmy! Wait. You're Chester." Cosmo said, mistaking his costume for Timmy's teeth. Timmy and Trixie glanced at another and sighed.

"Oh. It's just some old silly ghost story that's been passed down through Fairy World for centuries. It's supposed to be about a fairy who accidentally poofed off his own head or something by a fluke accident." Wanda explained. Cosmo quickly flew back to Wanda's side.

"Don't forget about how he's always out looking for some NEW fairy to take their head from! I heard in Fairy Phony magazine that the Headless Fairy is sure to appear this year!" Cosmo exclaimed, quickly plucking his own empty head off. Blonda scoffed.

"WHY did you marry him again?" Blonda asked. Wanda shrugged and, before poofing away with the others, wished Timmy and Poof a great Halloween night. With their fairies gone, Timmy and his friends soon went out on their Halloween run.

"Hey, do you think Cosmo was telling the truth about that story?" Tootie asked. Timmy spurted, betting he just made it up to try and scare them.

"Well, it IS a Fairy World story Timmy. Maybe it IS true." Poof said. Timmy shook his head, betting anything it was just some practical joke. But as they walked, they were strangely watched from a group of bushes by a mysterious figure in a hooded jacket. They first went to the Dinkelburg house, doing a quick visit before heading off. As they did, Timmy's father watched angrily from the window.

"HMMM. DINKELBURG!" he snarled, pulling the shade down. The kids continued down the road, stopping at each house they found with a light and asking "Trick or Treat!" at the door. By the end of Timmy's road, they had a good fourth of their bags filled.

"Man Timmy. Your block always gives the best candy on Halloween. And that's a proven fact!" Chester snickered. A.J. chuckled.

"Just don't go eating it all like last year. You couldn't wear pants for a straight WEEK because your gut was so fat!" A.J. commented. Timmy snickered as Chester huffed, glaring at A.J. Trixie chuckled.

"You know? I used to think it'd be WEIRD hanging out with all of you. But now...I'm glad I changed my mind." Trixie said "Last time I went trick or treating with Veronica and the others...we just laughed at some LAME joke." Timmy smirked, glad his friends were "good enough" for her company. Poof smiled as he looked at the candy he collected.

"So...where next Timmy?" Poof asked. Just then, they heard a horse neighing in the distance. They looked ahead and gasped, seeing a tall hooded figure riding a fiery hoofed horse with black wings and carrying a decayed wand on its back. Lightning flashed as the horse neighed.

"G-G-G-Geh! It's the Headless Fairy!" Poof shrieked, ducking into his candy bag. Timmy just quietly stared before snickering, bursting out in a laugh afterwards.

"Boy...Cosmo SURE is making this joke stretch, isn't he?" Timmy asked. He walked over towards the horse and looked up at its rider.

"Okay Cosmo, enough is enough. I know its you..." Timmy said, watching as the hooded rider pulled back its hood. But when it did, there was nothing but a floating zombified crown where the head would be, causing Timmy's eyes to bulge.

"...under there?" he squeaked. Chester, Poof and A.J. shrieked with fright, followed shortly after by the girls.

"HEADLESS FAIRY! HE'S REAL!" they exclaimed. Timmy squeaked again before screaming loudly, running off with his friends and Poof. The headless rider laughed and began chasing them on the back of his horse. It galloped quickly, soon closing the gap between them.

"Wh-What are we gonna do Timmy? It's gonna get our heads!" Molly shouted.

"But...that conflicts with Cosmo's story. Didn't it want the head of a FAIRY?" A.J. asked. Chester, running alongside him, guessed he just wanted any old head. He then got an idea as he looked next to him at the fleeing Tootie. He suddenly grabbed her and turned around, shielding himself with her body.

"Here Headless Fairy! Take HER head! Her's is just fat and plump! Just what you want!" Chester exclaimed. Tootie gasped, glaring angrily back at Chester before punching him.

"Are you calling me a FAT HEAD?" Tootie shouted. From behind, she heard the horse neighing again, causing her to shriek and run off. Timmy quickly turned back to grab Chester and drag him along.

"Man! I wish Cosmo and Wanda were here now!" Timmy thought. The headless rider laughed, quickly summoning flaming pumpkin heads in his hands. The sight of them caused the kids to scream.

"Look out! He's got flaming pumpkins!" Trixie exclaimed. The rider laughed and threw them towards the kids, causing them to scream and run faster. More flaming pumpkins were soon created as each was thrown towards Timmy's friends.

"Oh man! Now I HATE having doubt Cosmo's story!" Tootie exclaimed. Timmy looked back, glaring at the menacing rider as his horse continued to chase them. It chased them throughout the streets of Dimmsdale, running past Mister Crocker's house. The children crying out "fairy" brought Mister Crocker running.

"Where? WHERE? Where's the FAIRY?" he exclaimed, net in hand. He then turned and saw the headless fairy, his eyes shrinking as he was run over by the charging horse.

"GEH! Mother! My SPINE!" Crocker wailed in pain. The chase continued all over Dimmsdale, scaring some of the other nearby kids and adults by the sight of the terrifying headless rider. Timmy and his friends soon found themselves cornered, trapped in an alleyway. The only thing with them was a large dark blue garbage dumpster lined against the wall.

"Gah! Wrong turn!" Molly exclaimed. They hurried to try and run another direction, but they found the mouth of the alley sealed by the headless rider and his horse. For a short instant, the two sides merely stood and stare, the horse snorting as it dug its hoof into the ground.

"Oh man. This can't be the end. I haven't even gone to college yet!" A.J. shuddered, cowering next to Chester. Molly grasped onto Tootie before realizing who she grabbed and pushed her aside, changing her grip to Timmy's arm as Trixie did likewise. The headless rider laughed as the horse started walking towards them. But from the blink of an eye, Cosmo, Wanda and Blonda suddenly reappeared.

"I still have NO IDEA where Jorgen was. Everyone at the party was waiting for him and..." Wanda said before Timmy called out in fear. The fairies turned to the kids and gasped, soon spotting the headless rider. Cosmo shrieked.

"HE'S REAL! The Headless Fairy!" Cosmo exclaimed. Suddenly, a black cat came leaping out from the garbage dumpster nearby, spooking the horse. Its rider was thrown off, landing on the ground with a heavy thump.

"OWW! Stupid pony tailed cow!" the rider growled. In that instance, Timmy's fear suddenly died off as he heard the rider's voice.

"Wait a second." Timmy said. He walked right up towards the headless rider, passing the horse who simply stared, and grabbed the robe with a quick yank. It revealed the headless rider was really Jorgen von Strangle.

"Jorgen?" everyone exclaimed. Jorgen looked on at the others, not aware that his cloak was off.

"Who are you calling Jorgen? I am the Headless...! Oh." Jorgen said, soon noticing. The fairies floated over to Jorgen's side as he stood back up.

"Jorgen? What are you doing scaring the kids by dressing up as the Headless Fairy?" Wanda asked "You had a party. Remember?" Jorgen sighed.

"Sorry. But I just LOVE dressing up as the Headless Fairy and giving a little fun "Halloween fright" to those close to me...just for fun. Hey. Someone's got to keep that silly story alive, right?" Jorgen asked. Timmy asked why he was trying to scare them then.

"Well, DUH! Part of it was that reason and part of it was also...because I wanted to get back at YOU for that major scare you gave me last Halloween! I told you about my problem with my Nana Boom Boom's fruit cakes in secret!" Jorgen shouted "Also...I was "banned" from doing that Headless Fairy gag in Fairy World because it rose too much panic." Chester and A.J. sighed.

"You sure gave us quite a scare. I really thought we were goners for a second." Trixie sighed.

"Even so...I can't believe you'd scare the daylights out of the kids just for fun. Now go on. Say your sorry." Wanda said, crossing her arms. Jorgen groaned, turning to Timmy and apologizing for the scare.

"That's okay Jorgen. I think we're even now too." Timmy said. Soon, Cosmo proposed that they continue their Halloween fun back at their castle in Timmy's fishbowl.

"Oh yeah. We were gonna do that, weren't we?" Molly asked. But just then, they heard what sounded like a voice shrieking in agony. They all looked to see Mister Crocker being carted off by another figure riding a horse. But this time, the horse was solid black with red eyes and the rider appeared to be headless as well, carrying a pumpkin in its other hand. The horse neighed before charging off again, leaving the others speechless.

"Uhhh...guys? Was...Was that...?" Poof asked. Everyone soon looked to another before slowly creeping away, not wanting to find out who or WHAT they just saw was.
