Sunset sat in the AV room with Micro Chips. They watched the footage over and over again from the security cameras. That car had dissipated in front of that kid and reformed a few feet away. She spent several moments trying to find some other rational explanation for what happened. A quirk in physics. Some weird car technology she still never heard of. But there was no denying it.
Magic was afoot, and that kid was at the center of it.
"Do you think this kid is from that magic world of yours Sunset?" Micro Chips asked.
"I don't think so," Sunset said while shaking her head. "I spoke to Princess Twilight. She told me that if something had gone through the portal, she would've known. Ever since the whole demon thing," Sunset said uneasily, "she put a charm on the portal to keep track of who went through. If he were a pony, he would be stumbling around on all fours," Sunset said with a smirk, remembering how hard it was for her to walk on two legs.
"So what is it," The nerd asked Sunset. "did he grab some...magical...thing?”
"Probably." Sunset said.
"What did the Princess say?" Micro Chips asked nervously. Sunset opened her magical journal, revealing the Princess' message.
"Dear Sunset," the Princess wrote, "there are many artifacts that could enhance the power of a human. Putting on my crown, after all, did grant you demonic powers. However, you haven't given me enough information to make a sound judgement. I advise you to make more observations before this gets out of hoof, I mean, hand. This use of magic does not seem natural."
"Your friend,
Twilight Sparkle"
"What does she mean by 'this is not natural'?" Micro Chips asked with a worried expression.
"I don't know for sure," Sunset said evasively, "not until we get more data." Micro Chips tried to put on a calm face, but he felt on edge seeing Sunset become fearful.
"A child with buck teeth, a pink hat, and brown hair," Rarity asked Cheerilee in her classroom. It was currently study hall, which made it a good time for students and teachers to talk, "did you remember seeing him?"
"Yes," Cheerilee said, "his name was Timmy....something...." her eyes narrowed. "I think he used magic once."
"What do you mean?" Rarity asked Cheerilee with a stern expression.
"This girl named Vicky Valentine came over to volunteer," Cheerilee said. "Timmy, who was her special buddy, came along with her."
"And?”
"I had them unload some boxes at the loading dock," Cheerilee said. "I left for five minutes, and that somehow managed to unload 800 pounds of material in that time."
"Really?" Rarity said with some astonishment.
"Yes," Cheerilee said, "and when I asked them how they did it, they got very...evasive."
"Do you mean to tell me that this Timmy child and this Vicky person both witnessed magic?" Rarity asked with a haunted expression.
"I don't know," Cheerilee said gravely, "I think I have the sign-in sheet. Which might have both their names and numbers, but not much else."
Rarity pursed her lips grimly.
"I'm afraid I can't do that.” Principal Celestia said, much to the disappointment of Applejack. Applejack came to the principal's office, hoping she could track down the kid for them.
"But you're the principal," Applejack said, "don't you have access to every kid in the state?"
"Applejack, the Dimmsdale school system is a separate jurisdiction," Celestia said gentle but firmly, "and while I do have contacts within the district, I need some legal reason to access some random student's information."
"Oh..." Applejack said with a frown.
"Unless of course, there is a law that prevents someone from moving a car with magic," the tall woman said, "and since there isn't, well, there is no grounds." Celestia's face became more serious. "But let's say you do find Timmy Turner's information. Do you...want me to get his parents to bring him here to my office?"
"No," Applejack said with a shake of her head. "not until we know who or what we're dealing with."
Applejack walked out of the room, feeling somewhat disappointed with herself.
"Hey Applejack," Flash said, approaching the farmer girl with a happy smile.
"What is it, Flash?" Applejack said.
"I found your little kid.” Flash said.
"Really?”
Flash, the Rainbooms, Micro Chips, and Derpy sat in the cafeteria. Flash had his laptop.
"I couldn't really find much when I looked up Timmy Turner," Flash said, "but then I had a hunch. I typed in 'Turner' and the phone number, and this came up." He showed the page, which said 'Dimmsdale Reality' at the top.
"So, what does selling homes have to do with anything?" Rainbow said impatiently.
"Patience.” Flash said with a smirk. The blue-haired boy clicked on a sub page marked 'Turner.'
The picture of a woman popped up: she looked to be in her 40s, with brown hair than when down to just below her ears. She wore a sharp business suit and a professional smile. Below was a hyperbolic advertisement about how she would sell you a home no matter what size or condition.
"So what does-" Sunset began, only for Flash to scroll to the bottom, which showed a picture that read, "as a family woman, I know what the family needs." It showed her happily hugging a man in his 40s with black hair and a business suit, possibly the woman's husband. And the very bottom was-
"That's the kid.” Derpy said. He was in the picture, probably trying to sell the woman's image as a family woman. Unlike his parents, who looked like they loved one another, he looked pretty...morose. Instead of being embraced by his parents, he was made to hold up a sign that said "BUY NOW!" Which he did with a pout.
Sunset though it was both sad and strangely adorable.
"They even put down their address.” Flash said, pointing to it. Everyone at the table was pretty pleased.
"Flash, you're a genius!" Rarity said with a proud smile.
"Thanks." Flash spoke proudly.
"Oh no," Pinkie Pie said fearfully.
"What is it Pinkie?" Sunset asked
"They've got to be, like, a gillion miles from here," Pinkie said sadly.
"Dimmsdale is like... ten miles away.” Rainbow Dash replied flatly.
"Oh," Pinkie Pie said, blushing awkwardly.
"Anyways, now we have our address," Sunset said. "Let's go do some observation."
"You mean spying?" Fluttershy offered meekly.
"No…” Sunset said flatly.
"You two are going to the cook off?" Timmy asked his parents with dismay, "but-but-"
"Timmy, you know how we tell you we love you and that you're our top priority?" Mr. Turner said with a smile.
"Yes." Timmy said.
"Well, you’re more of a distant second," Mr. Turner said cheerfully, "our top priority is finally avenging my honor against the evil and putrid Dinkleberg clan!"
"Oh," Timmy spoke with some sadness.
"Cheer up Timmy," Mrs. Turner said with a smile, "your best buddy Vicky is here to watch you," the woman said, opening the door to reveal a smirking Vicky.
"Have fun you two!" the Turner parents said, ignoring their son's pale face.
"Hey Turner," Dinkleberg greeted with a smile while mowing his lawn, "good luck at the cook-off."
"Dinkleberg..." Mr. Turner growled under his breath as he got into the car.
"Hey Vicky," Timmy began nervously, "how's it-"
"Lawn work, pronto." Vicky said with a mean grin. "Those leaves aren't going to pick themselves up."
Timmy let out a tried sigh.
"So what kind of name is Dimmsdale?" Sunset asked idly. Her friends were being driven to Dimmsdale in a surveillance van owned by Vinyl. Unlike most surveillance vans, it was white with blue lines running along its edges.
"Dimmsdale was founded by a prospector named Dale Dimm.” Pinkie Pie said.
"How did you figure that out?" Rainbow asked curiously.
"I didn't." Pinkie said, holding up a tourist brochure.
"Oh." Rainbow replied.
"As it turns out, there were two competing stories about the founding of Dimmsdale," Pinkie Pie began. "One was that it was founded by a brave frontiersman named Arlen Bitterroot. The other was that Dale Dimm fell down and hit his head on a rock."
"Oh dear," Fluttershy spoke timidly.
"But it was OK," Pinkie Pie said, "Dale Dimm broke the rock and found gold."
"Lovely." Rarity said with some joy.
"However, recent historical evidence proved that Dimm was not only the founder, but that Bitterroot was a mean outlaw who tried to trick Dimm out of his gold." Pinkie Pie, showing pictures of Dimm and Bitterroot.
"Man those pictures look pretty good for the 1850s." Sunset observed.
"I think we're at the house.” Rarity said. She was looking at the GPS, which took them right in front of some plain white house with a red-thatched roof.
"I see him." Rainbow Dash pointed out. The boy was raking some old leaves on his house, and then dumping them into a tall trash can.
Vinyl came to the back, and began activating all her surveillance equipment.
Dinkleberg smiled as the last of his lawn was mowed.
"Ah," the big-nosed man said happily, "nothing like the smell of freshly cut grass. My buddy Turner seemed especially happy about the cook-off. I can't wait to tell him 'good luck' again." he said excitedly. He looked around the neighborhood.
"I love this neighborhood," Dinkleburg said wistfully. "from the Turner kid slaving away, to everyone's beautiful lawn, to that white surveillance van in front of the Turner." He went back into his home, but did the double take, noticing a surveillance van.
"Oh my gosh!" Mr. Dinkleberg shouted in horror. "They're illegally parked on the other side of the road." He grabbed his cell phone and made a call.
The equipment was activated, giving them both audio and visual.
"I think I'll be sick if I ever see a rake again." they heard the buck-toothed boy say with exhaustion as he scooped up the last pile of leaves and put them in the trash can. Even though he sounded hoarse, the kid's voice was still unusually high for a boy.
"Man, he looks beat." Rainbow said with some sympathy.
"Little buckaroo's working away," Applejack said with a proud smile.
"Hideous." Rarity said.
"Rarity," Fluttershy admonished, "aren't you being a little mean?"
"No, not him Darling." Rarity said, "I meant that boy's hat. Pink!" She said with disgust. "It's just a crime against all fashion." Pinkie Pie glared at Rarity. "Don't worry Darling," Rarity said sheepishly, "it looks good on you."
Someone walked out the door onto the lawn. She was a tall-teenage girl with red-hair tied into a ponytail, black pants, a green-
"Wait," Rainbow said with gritted teeth, "I know her."
"You do?" Sunset said.
"That's the jerk who tried to hurt Scootaloo!” Rainbow said with a growl.
"OK," Timmy said with exhaustion to Vicky, "I got all the leaves."
"Silly little twerp," Vicky said in a falsely sweet tone, "you missed some leaves."
"What leaves?" Timmy asked. With a nasty grin, Vicky kicked over the large bin where Timmy spilled his onto the ground.
"Those leaves.” Vicky said with a nasty grin.
"I spent an hour working on that!" Timmy yelled, angry and hurt.
"Do it again."
"No," Timmy yelled angrily, "you can't make me!"
"Really?" Vicky spoke in a falsely sad tone, "I guess I'll have to tell your parents about how you broke their priceless vase."
"What are you-" Timmy began, only for Vicky to pull out a fancy vase, and threaten to drop it.
"No, please!" Timmy begged.
"Leaves," Vicky said with a mean smile, "now!" With a defeated whimper, Timmy went back to picking the leaves up.
"What a horrible lout." Rarity said with fury. The rest of the Rainbooms looked at the scene with shocked outrage. Vinyl took off her sunglasses, her purple eyes glaring at the bully. Sunset looked at the scene, not only with anger, but a sick feeling in her gut. That girl's meanness was, to her frustration, so uncomfortably familiar.
"Should we do something?" Applejack asked with gritted teeth.
"We can't blow our cover." Rarity said with frustration, looking with sympathy as the brown-haired boy worked like he was on the verge of tears, while the red-haired girl was clearly taking joy from the boy's misery, watching over him like a slave owner.
"Poor thing..." Fluttershy lamented.
"Don't worry Twerpie," the girl said with a smile, "this is just my last hurrah."
"What do you mean?" Timmy asked.
"My parents won a vacation to Cancun," Vicky said with a smile, "and they're taking me and my darling sister with me."
"You're leaving?" Timmy asked with some hope.
"For three weeks," Vicky said. "I just wanted our last time before I go away to be special."
"Oh…” Timmy said meekly.
"Anyways, I got to check on something," Vicky said, "stay here," she began walking away, only to come back. "and when you do finish the leaves, take out the trash."
"But I already-" Timmy began, only for Vicky to take a trash bag out of the garbage can. Before Timmy could do anything, Vicky opened the bag over his head, dumping all the trash on him. Vicky let out a nasty snicker before walking away.
"THAT'S IT!" Rainbow Dash yelled, jumping up from her chair, and about to storm out of the van, only to be held back.
"Let me go Applejack," Rainbow yelled, "that witch needs a hole punched into her head!"
"I know," Applejack said, restraining the angry girl, "but we can't blow our cover because we're angry."
"THAT GIRL IS SO MEAN!" Pinkie Pie yelled, with a growl that scared everyone, clenching her fists, "IF I COULD, I'D-I'D-INVITED HER TO A PARTY...AND...AND-
"What?" Fluttershy asked.
"GIVE HER THE SMALLEST PIECE OF CAKE!" Everyone looked at Pinkie with disbelief.
"Wow, Pinkie," Rainbow said sarcastically, "that is really harsh."
"Really?" Pinkie Pie said sadly, "I am so sorry. I didn't actually mean it."
Sunset ignored Pinkie's irreverence, focusing on the brown-haired kid. He stood still, but began shaking with anger, glaring daggers at the babysitter as she walked back into the house.
"That's it!" The boy said angrily under his breath, "I wish Vicky was covered in garbage." They heard a poof sound.
"There's the poof." Sunset said. After a moment, everything stayed the same.
"That's odd-" Sunset began, only to hear a loud noise coming from the sky. "Why do I hear a plane crash?"
Up in the air, a plane suddenly appeared, and began crashing out of the sky.
"Captain," a co-pilot said, "we're crashing out of the sky!"
"We'll have to lighten our loud.” the pilot, an older man, said in a dramatic voice. He pushed a red button, and the bomb bay doors opened, causing garbage to spill out. The garbage fell with a whistling sound.
Just as Vicky was about to enter the house, she heard a whistling noise. She turned around and saw the garbage coming toward her.
"AAAHHH!" Vicky yelled.
SPLAT!
Vicky wretched with disgust, seeing herself covered in garbage.
"How did this happen?" Vicky said with horror. Her anger grew as she heard Timmy laughing uncontrollably.
The Rainbooms began laughing like crazy at the mean girl's misfortune. Even Fluttershy couldn't help but laugh. Vinyl didn't laugh, but smirked.
"That kid really got her good." Rainbow said, cracking up. The only one not laughing was Sunset, who looked at the kid, especially his nasty grin, with concern and a bit of fear.
"I don't know how that happened," Vicky yelled at her charge, "but you're going to clean it up, while I'm going to take a bath. And when I get back, I expect all of these chores done!" She then stormed into the house as the last of Timmy's laughs died down.
"I think we've got our confirmation," Rarity said assuringly. "that kid made that garbage fall on her." Sunset felt her hands begin to shake.
"Or it could be just some huge coincidence," Applejack said. Everyone stared at her. "What it could-”
"I wish the garbage was taken out and the leaves were done," the boy said. With another poof, both chores were immediately taken care of.
"Well, there's our confirmation." Applejack said with a sigh.
"Yay!" the boy said happily, "no Vicky for three weeks! This calls for a celebration guys."
"Is he talking to someone?" Sunset asked with some confusion.
"I don't know," Rainbow said, "but-" they paused as they felt something hit the van. They then felt the angle of the van increasing.
"What's happening?" Rainbow said as she and her friends grabbed onto something. They looked outside and saw the van was being raised vertically by a tow truck with a hook. They all let out a collective yell of terror as the tow truck pulled them away.
"STOP!" They all yelled in vain as they were taken away from the kid's house, "PUT US DOWN!"
"Did you guys hear something?” Timmy said.
"Probably the yell of some girls in a surveillance van that is being towed away," Cosmo said, disguised as a bag of fertilizer.
"Really?" Wanda said while disguised as a watering can.
"Nah," Cosmo said, "probably just termites."
"Anyways," Timmy said happily, "we should celebrate." Cosmo and Wanda waved their wands, and suddenly a giant rock concert was poofed in front of them, complete with rock bands, refreshments, and a large crowd.
"This is great!" Timmy said.
"Especially since we know no one is watching us." Cosmo and Wanda said in unison.
.......................................... this is gonna drive them nuts isn't it.
Pretty good. I think I’ll like the Sunset and Timmy sibling relationship. I think they work together as brother and sister
here is a question gorgen vs applejack who is stronger and will twilight come running at the mention of fairys?
Oh man this is going to be one hell of a crossover. And I can’t wait to read it
Only thing I'm hoping for is Sunset taking Timmy away from his frankly abusive parents. They are horrible human beings and let's be honest if Timmy left, they wouldn't give a damn.
10364291
Nah, they know magic is real. They can just chalk it all to that and don't worry about logic.
10364292
Doubt it, Sunset came as a babysitter and Timmy already has a trauma against them thanks to Icky-Vicky for 5 years
10364361
They're more neglective than abusive. Also, they would care. Timmy ran away once, and they were heartbroken about it.
10364381
And what about the episode where they let Timmy play around with acid and needed to be humiliated on live Tv to realize they were terrible parents?
10364389
Yes, that sounds like neglect to me.
10364381
neglect can be consider child abuse if it leads to negative circumstances to the child. The turners are just as guilty as Vicky for trusting Vicky willy nilly and just leaving Timmy alone to do their own thing
10364437
This is true but it's important to remember that his parents are simply oblivious to the problems Timmy faces. In every case in the show where they find out the truth they always try to make things right and show that they genuinely care about Timmy.
Not to mention it's been made clear that every time Timmy has an opportunity to make things better for himself he chooses not to because he doesn't want to lose his Fairies.
Dinkleberg...
10364364
true. pinkie dose that a lot.
Hope Vicky ends up having a horrible time in her vacation, like she gets caught doing some horrible thing and it turns out against the wrong person and she ends up with a fine that empties her savings and she needs to do extra work to even pay it for for some time
10364361
Definitely not the best ones
Timmy being away from them would do him good
This actually makes me question if Flash will become a private investigator in the future.
10364437
I rather agree. I mean a NORMAL parent would be like "Hey my kid seems to be apprehensive of their babysitter. Maybe somethings up" Then actually LOOK into it, or leave some kinda secret recording devices in the home to see whats up
I personally would LOVE to see Viccky blasted by the Elements if only to see what the end result would be. Would her evil be purified or would she be (and i am leaning towards this one) turned to stone I mean her own PARENTS fear her
10364522
Or it'll just the push the bug out of her again. [she's evil cause of some kind of bug]
10364528
pardon?
Ah Vicky, your still just as much of the piece of garbage I remember from the show. I'll be fine if this story ends as a FOP AU where Timmy finally gets away from Dimmsdale because it's clearly not a healthy place for him to be.
You know the worst part? Being miserable is part of the requisite for being granted Fairies. If Timmy overcomes his problems once and for all and gets his happy ending, Cosmo and Wanda will be reasigned by Jorgen and Timmy´s memories about them erased.
10364522
The Elements didn´t make the Dazzlings nice, just saying.
10364584
You're right about the Dazzlings. I mean Twilight let them run away without talking to them or try to reform them
10364584
I have an idea similar to this, but Timmy's temporary babysitter is Fluttershy (Equestria version in human form).
She's secretly aware of Timmy Fairy Godparents, but obviously doesn't point it out to protect Timmy.
But one day, Vicky does something so drastic to Timmy, that he ends up getting PTSD because of it. Necessitating the fact that Cosmo and Wanda need to remain by Timmy's at all times unless Timmy broke a rule. Like revealing their existence.
For those who except that the Rainbooms take away Timmy from there, in my personal opinion, is obvious that Jorgen will appear and erase the memories of them and discovered that Sunset Shimmer is a Equestrian unicorn and close the portal to equestria after all the events after the battle of bands and the fall formal, causing that he and the Magic ministry from Magic World questioning Equestria Princesses from their duties and Most importantly...
BLAMING Star Swirl for using the earth as a Magic dumpster
10364522
Unfortunately, if Vicky gets fired, she'll become supreme overlord of Earth.
Source: https://fairlyoddparents.fandom.com/wiki/Vicky_Gets_Fired
10364721
I think the advantage of choosing Sunset as Timmy babysitter while aware of Cosmo and Wanda is to exploit a loophole in Da Rules: Sunset IS a magical unicorn, so no need for memory modification.
10364361
10364381
I'm going with the more "neglectful and self absorbed" interpretation of them that you see in the early seasons. Not the "childish and abusive" you see, especially in the post-Poof era.
Yes, they do prefer to spend time with each other, but they still care for their son.
10364389
I think that is more done for laughs then something to take seriously.
10364456
10364461
Dinkleberg. The bane of Mr. Turner, and now the bane of the Rainbooms.
10364521
Well, his counterpart in Equestria is a royal guard.
10364522
I think the problem with FOP is that it was conceived of in a different era.
In the late 1990s and early to mid 2000s, adults ignoring their kids about bullying was far, far more common than it is today. The "Adults Are Useless" trope isn't often that exaggerated. Bullying wasn't treated as seriously as it is now.
This period was also a transitional phase for the World Wide Web, when Facebook and smartphones had yet to reach for their prominence. Nowadays, that kind of recording would happen, but technology was not yet that advanced or promoted in the turn of the Millennium.
10364537
If I've managed to make you loath Vicky, than I've done my job.
Personally, I don't think changing the scenery is the instant solution to one's problems. Your problems can follow you wherever you go.
10364721
that i can see happening.
10364584
The Elements can be very, very fickle:
They turned Discord into stone, trapped Sombra in ice, sent Tirek into Tartarus, and trapped Luna on the moon.
Yet Sunset and the Dazzlings were just stripped of their power, and Luna was "cured" the second go.
I'm guessing that beings who are consumed by evil are brutally punished, while misguided souls like Sunset and Luna are forced to face their evil, but not necessarily turned good. The Dazzlings were given the same treatment, but didn't stop being jerks.
10364728
I believe all the Rainbooms can see Cosmo and Wanda, since they are also beings who wield magic.
Can we expect to see Jorgen Von Strangle and his interaction with Sunset? Or is that a surprise for later?
10364734
ouch. wonder what the girls will do to him? use magic to make dinkleberg is a chicken??
10364750
Among all canon and contradictory explanations for Vicky's vileness (lack of a member of Vicky's sub-conscious for his empathy center, being possessed by an Evil bug, being an abuse victim of his former babysitter herself, etc..), which one did you choose?
10364766
Spoilers.
I need MORE of this story
10364748
I was talking more about the ridiculous abuse he suffers - not being bullied itself, but having a babysitter literally toss a trash can on his head and similar - without anyone noticing. That has to be some kind of evil spirit acting since EQG world seems to work somewhat less on cartoon magic.
But you do raise the point that his godparents would also be terrifying.
10364858
Vicky poured garbage on his head, not a whole can. Which isn't much better, but still.
They wouldn't really see Vicky's mistreatment as the work of some evil spirit. They've all grown up on Earth, so they are aware of things like bullying.
What concerns them is Timmy's seeming ability to do things on command.
10364879
To be fair it has been quite a while since I saw the cartoon
Still quite the curious premisse, anxious to see where you'll take it!
nice story
10364728
But here's a better question...
What if The Pixies knows about that loophole?
I love this. It's written like one of the OG Fairly Oddparent episodes.
...Dinklebeeeerrrgg...
10364907
Bruh, your ideas are quite interesting to see and I love the idea of Jorgen blaming star swirl using earth as a magical dumpster that’s the kind of slapstick that the Fairy Odd Parents show would use.
10365297
For once, it IS Dinkleberg's fault.
Curse you Dinkleberg's!!!
I think you mean tow truck
Really enjoying the story so far.
Rainbow got a gun!
