Cosmo and Wanda Are Dead

EXT. FIELD - DAY

Two fairies, Cosmo and Wanda, are lying under a tree at one end of a field of tall grass. Cosmo absently flips a coin.

COSMO

I was just saying -

WANDA

Well, don't.

COSMO

But, it won't go away just because we don't want to look at it.

WANDA

Oh, sweetie, it won't make a difference if we do look at it.

COSMO

But, if we don't have free will -

Wanda hits herself in the forehead with her palm.

COSMO (CONTINUING)

What? What did I say?

WANDA

I just don't think it's worth our time to argue about matters that can't be resolved.

COSMO

But -

WANDA

Sweetie.

COSMO

But, it can be resolved. We have to do whatever the children we're assigned to ask us to do. That means we either have no free will of our own, or, at best, we're slaves.

Wanda grabs Cosmo by the lapel. The coin he has just tossed disappears in mid-air.

WANDA

That kind of talk could get us stripped of our fairy powers...or worse.

COSMO

But, maybe if we realize the conditions of our servitude, we can do someth -

TIMMY
(off)

Wanda! Cosmo! HEEEEEEELP!

COSMO

Let's not go.

WANDA

Oh, sweetie, we have to.

COSMO

Why?

WANDA

Because that's just who we are.

Wanda pulls out her wand.

TIMMY
(off)

Guys? I could really use some help, here!

COSMO

We have to. You're saying we have no choice - no free will.

WANDA

Oh, we don't have time for this.

Wanda raises her wand, and she and Cosmo disappear in a burst of fairy energy. Inside the burst of energy are the words: "Existential poof!"

INT. TIMMY's BEDROOM - DAY

Timmy is being chased around his bedroom by a velociraptor. In a burst of fairy energy, Cosmo and Wanda appear in the room, floating near the ceiling above him.

TIMMY

Guys, this isn't what I was expecting when -

COSMO

We're on it, Timmy!

Cosmo waves his wand and, poof, the velociraptor turns into a lawnmower. With eyes. A lawnmower that continues to chase Timmy around the room.
COSMO (CONTINUING)

That reminds me: I need a haircut.

TIMMY

Wanda!

WANDA

No problem, sport.

Wanda waves her wand. In a burst of fairy energy, the lawnmower disappears. SOUND: we can hear it faintly through the window.
TIMMY

That was close!
COSMO

The best hairstyles usually are.

Wanda looks at him in disbelief, then, shaking her head, turns back to Timmy.

WANDA

Anything else you need, sport?

TIMMY

Naah. Things are under control.

WANDA

You're sure?

TIMMY

The keys on the magic laptop are really close together - but I'm getting the hang of it. Really. I am.

WANDA

Okay, well, if you need anything else?

TIMMY

You'll be the first to know!

Wanda and Cosmo lift their wands and disappear in a burst of "reluctant Poof" energy.

EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY

Cosmo and Wanda appear at a desk on the 40 yard line of a football field.

WANDA

Funny, I didn't plan on coming here.

JORGEN
(off)

You were diverted.

Looking around, Cosmo and Wanda see that JORGEN VON STRANGLE sits on a judicial bench at the 50 yard line wearing a judge's robes and wig. The bleachers are full if fairies.

COSMO

Ooh, who's playing?

JORGEN

Puny fairies, you are charged with having treasonous thoughts that, if left unchecked, would undermine the whole basis of the fairy godparent/child relationship. How do you plead?

COSMO

Can I have a hot dog?

JORGEN

No.

COSMO

Big games just aren't the same without a hot dog.

WANDA

Sweetie, this is serious.

COSMO

I know. I'm really hungry.

WANDA

Jorgen, what is the nature of the charges against us?

JORGEN

You have been overheard talking about the possibility of...free will. Even I with my perfectly sculpted musculature could not save Fairy World if fairies believed they did not have to grant their children's every wish.

WANDA

What if - and I'm only asking hypothetically, you understand - what if we were found guilty?

JORGEN

You would be put to death.

COSMO

Would I get a last wish?

JORGEN

What would you wish for, puny fairy?

COSMO

A hot dog! I'm HUNGRY!

INT. TIMMY's ROOM - NIGHT

Timmy is being chased around the room by a penguin twice his size.

TIMMY

Wanda! Cosmo! Heeeeeeelp!

There is a burst of magic energy and Jorgen von Strangle appears in a burst of "Disappointing Poof" fairy energy.

TIMMY (CONTINUING)

Jorgen von Strangle! What are you doing here?

JORGEN

I have come to tell you, Timmy Turner, that Wanda and Cosmo are dead.

FADE TO BLACK
TIMMY
(over)

WHAT!
