Erasing The Pain
 
Chapter 3: Mementos and Goodbyes
 
By: Oneesan no Miroku Houshi
 
 
 
 
Wanda sat in her room, within the depths of her fish tank castle as she was packing things that she wanted to take with her. She would occasionally glance to Cosmo's side of the room with a hurt and depressed look, and then go back to paying attention to what she was doing herself.
 
She sighed dejectedly to herself.
 
Cosmo was always forgetting things, and she didn't see him in the room with her and Timmy, though she heard the child ask him to do something, but it was as if they were speaking in a foreign tongue, something about seashells.
 
Nevertheless, he seemed not to care that she was in a depressed mood and he didn't even bother to ask her about her feelings at all. Wanda was glad that at least her god child, Timmy asked why she was so sad.
 
Often times, she wondered if Timmy was the only reason she could tolerate Cosmo. Of all of the men she's been with, the two that she broke it off with were both very different. Juandissimo was charming and handsome, while Cosmo was goofy and clumsy. But somehow, neither one of these men seemed to be the right ones in her life.
 
Over the course of eons, Wanda had seemed to make so many mistakes with relationships and love; then again, she was no cupid. Often she wondered if she'd ever find someone she was truly happy with. The pink haired fairy had once thought Cosmo to be that man, but now she has doubts.
 
Wanda sat there and festered for a few minuets, pondering on all of the things that had gone wrong over the course of her years of marriage, wed to Cosmo.
 
At first, she became sad the feelings she held in were just too strong. They were a mix of everything she had secretly held: sadness, hurt, and anger….All these emotions and most built up over time from things that Cosmo had done to her or things he said.
 
Her eye brows creased in anger. How could he? How could he be so rude, insensitive and unconcerned? How could he ignore her when she was feeling her worst? The worst part of all…It was his entire fault that she felt that way.
 
It was his fault that their anniversary was ruined! Wait! What anniversary? There wouldn't be one if he didn't remember.
 
“Well, I guess I'd better go and say one final good-bye to Timmy before I leave.”
 
She poofed herself out of her aquatic home and back into the brown haired boy's room. Wanda carried many suit cases and wore sunglasses with dark black shades.
 
“Well, I'm going to go on my vacation.” She announced.
 
Timmy turned to look at her. “Alright, have a good time, Wanda.”
 
“I will, Timmy.” She replied, but couldn't help but notice and absence of Cosmo and turned around as if she were going to go, but stayed for a while, looking a bit rejected.
 
Just as she was about to leave, Cosmo appeared with a giant clam over his head. “Look Timmy!” His voice echoed through the huge hollow shell. “I found the biggest shell in the sea!”
 
“Uh…” The boy stared. “Great job Cosmo! And you're back just in time to tell Wanda good-bye.”
 
“Good-bye?” Cosmo asked, as he pried the shell off of his head and threw it on the ground, it landed with a thud.
 
“Yes, I'm taking a vacation, but don't worry Cosmo, I'll be back after a couple of days.” The pink haired fairy told him. “You'll have to watch after Timmy.”
 
The green haired man dramatically saluted. “Will do!”
 
Then he paused. “But Wanda…” Cosmo's eyes began to well up with tears. “We've only been apart once. ONCE! “
 
“I'm sure you'll manage.” The female fairy told her husband, and then said quietly under her breath. “It's not like you'll miss me.” She then spoke back up. “Besides, you have your lucky nickel to keep you company.”
 
“Phillip!” The green haired man screamed in joy as his nickel materialized in front of him, he latched onto it like a leech that's been deprived of blood and hugged it tightly.
 
She knew that would deter his attention from her. Most things do on a normal basis. Which was probably the cause of some of her negative feelings. It was probably about time she and Cosmo saw other people.
 
Wanda sighed to herself.
 
“Well good-bye Timmy.” Her voice changed into an annoyed and disgruntled tune. “Cosmo.”
 
The green haired fairy levitated there, tears brimming his shiny green eyes.
 
She shook her head. There it was that face that she couldn't ignore. The face of innocent sadness. Whenever she was annoyed with Cosmo it was his sure-fire way out of her anger. It was the face that anyone could love, and she had to admit, it was just too darn cute!
 
Wanda flew over there and gave him a quick hug. Her husband hugged her back.
 
A small smile crossed her pink lips. “Good-bye Cosmo.”
 
He sniffled. “Good-bye Wanda.” He then flew over and hugged a now confused god child and cried like a little two year old.
 
She sighed to herself once more. And she couldn't help but feel a little guilty as she flew a way away and disappeared behind a puff of smoke, leaving Timmy and Cosmo there, standing and floating in Timmy's room, the green haired man still crying and Timmy wondering to himself if it was such a good idea.
 
Now Wanda was gone and he was stuck with her husband, Cosmo and he knew how good Cosmo was at wishes. He could only hope that he didn't need any real wishes anytime soon.
