Fairly Odd Ponies: The Movie
Prologue: Invitations and Confusions
Wanda Fairywinkle was surprised to have gotten a letter in the fishbowl, it wasn’t every day that she and Cosmo had gotten mail. Especially Cosmo. For Juandissimo’s sake, she hoped it wasn’t another love letter. That Latin really didn’t know when to take a hint.
Once she poofed to her goldfish form and took out the letter, she opened it and was surprised to see this.
Dear Cosmo and Wanda,
We from Equestria have heard of your magical exploits in the universe and would like to cordially invite you and others fairies of your kind, to the Festival Of Friendship hosted by Princess Twilight Sparkle.
We hope to see you there, Princess Celestia
Wanda couldn’t believe it, the Princess of Equestria had invited them to their newest holiday or whatever it was.
Before she could process more of this, her thoughts were interrupted by her husband in his fish form, Cosmo Cosma.
“We got mail!” Cosmo cried out excitedly, “What is it?! What is it?!”
Wanda sighed before glaring at the green eyed fish, “If you would stop chattering in my ear, the letter was from Princess Celestia. It’s inviting us to a Friendship Festival from Twilight Sparkle.”
“Friendship Festival? That sounds like something off a kids’ show. Who’s Twilight?” Cosmo asked with a dopey blank look.
"Twilight is one of four princesses from Equestria. Friendship is a pretty big deal there, so it looks like they're doing something to celebrate it and want us there." Explained Wanda.
“They want US there?!” Cosmo asked incredulously before smiling, “Hoho, I am so in! I can’t wait to tell Timmy about…”
Cosmo and Wanda’s eyes then widened as if they just realized something.
“Oh, riiiiiiight.” Cosmo chuckled nervously, “We have a godkid.”
“And he already has been feeling neglected after Poof was born…” Wanda sighed before she seemed to have an idea, “I’m sure it won’t be much trouble if we bring him along. He just needs to make more lowkey wishes.”
“You think he’ll wanna go?” Cosmo asked with a raised eyebrow before they heard Timmy screaming, causing them worry as they poofed into their regular fairy forms in Timmy’s room, Cosmo had green hair, a white shirt, and black tie and pants while Wanda had pink swirled hair, a yellow shirt, and black pants.
The pink hatted eleven year old with buck teeth known as Timmy Turner then slammed the door closed and locked it as wild barks were heard outside, “Guys, Vicky has a rabid badger chasing me! I need to hide!”
“Geez, it’s like she becomes more and more evil as the years go on.” Wanda scoffed in disapproval.
“Sheesh, you’d think after you turned eleven she’d have backed off a bit.” Cosmo cringed.
"We'll hide you in our castle with Poof Timmy, but after Vicky is gone we have something important to discuss." Wanda said as she poofed Timmy, most likely into the castle of the fishbowl like she mentioned.
Afterwards, she installed the Forget-Me Knob on Timmy’s door so Vicky wouldn’t question his disappearance if she tried to enter. Wanda couldn’t help but sigh sadly at the information she was given just earlier. Timmy was probably the most miserable godchild she ever had, in the case that he has a rough life. His parents were neglectful, his babysitter was practically a demon, his teacher was a vicious fairy hunter, and he got bullied a lot. Was it any wonder why she didn’t want to leave him alone?
Twilight was confused when Celestia had asked her to invite a species of fairies to her Friendship Festival, but she could understand it. She wanted to appeal to any magical allies that could benefit Equestria after all but what was even more confusing was why she decided to invite the fairy Cosmo who was apparently the stupidest of all fairies according to the history she recently learned about said fairies.
“I just don’t get it.” Twilight said to both Starlight and Spike as the two sat in the map room whilst Twilight was pacing, “Why would Celestia want to invite this Cosmo fairy? From what history I heard of this fairy, he was apparently so destructive and stupid that fairies ended up banning babies for years. That’s kind of alarming if I’m being honest.”
"I'm sure Celestia has her reasons. This whole thing is about friendship, maybe she wants to improve relations with the fairies." Starlight said reassuringly before gaining a flat look, “Also banning babies over one fairy sounds really extreme.”
“Maybe… but it does make me wonder why I’ve never heard about these fairies until now.” Twilight admits nervously before getting a panicked expression, “I’m kinda nervous to meet them to be honest. What if things go south and they declare war on us like with the yaks?!”
"I don't think Celestia would've invited them if that was a possibility. Plus, besides Cosmo, the fairies all sound pretty good." Spike chuckled good naturedly.
“Yeah, and besides, just because Cosmo sounds like he’s… not the brightest, it doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy either.” Starlight reminds Twilight, “I know I had my fair share of recklessness at times.”
"Exactly, I'm sure everything will be fine, Twilight. It's also a good opportunity to make some new friends." Spike said reassuringly.
Twilight sighed with a smile before relenting, “Yeah, you may be right. I just hope things go well.”
“I’m sure they will.” Starlight beamed, seeing her friend was finally having lifted spirits though she did make a mental note to keep an eye on this Cosmo.
It had been a while, but Vicky finally left after Timmy’s parents came home who were once again oblivious to her true nature which meant Timmy could finally come out of hiding and allowed himself to sigh and plop himself on his bed.
“It’s times like these when I think I should’ve just let Vicky get fired when I had the chance.” Timmy sighed sadly.
"Yeah, but then we'd probably have to leave. So maybe it wasn't the worst decision to keep her." Cosmo admits with as much unhappiness as Timmy had as he, Wanda, and Poof had Poof-ed into the room.
“Let’s steer away from the topic of Vicky for a moment and tell Timmy what we wanted to talk to him about.” Wanda told the green haired doof.
"Phew, gotta be better than talking about Vicky. We were invited to a festival in a far away land and wanted to know if you want to come." Cosmo said at Wanda's influence.
“Festival from a far away land huh? Well it IS the weekend and I’d like to go, but how are we gonna keep everyone in Dimmsdale in the dark about me being gone?” Timmy told his fairies.
"I'm sure we can think of something to distract your parents. Maybe we make it look like you're staying in your room because you're sick." Cosmo said happily, thinking he had come up with a great idea before Wanda raised an eyebrow.
“Or we could just wish up a clone to fill in for Timmy.” Wanda glared at her husband, “Your plan could easily fall apart if they go to check on Timmy.”
"Oh, yeah, I guess you're right. My plan was pretty dumb." Cosmo said, sadder than how he usually was when his logic had holes poked in it by Wanda but only Poof seemed to notice.
“Well I’m in. What’s this place called anyway?” Timmy asked happily.
“It’s a world full of ponies called Equestria.” Wanda told her godchild.
“Uh… Equest-a-what now?” Timmy raised an eyebrow.
Author's Note
Sorry if this seems short for a Prologue, but I promise it will pick up eventually. If you couldn’t tell, Cosmo’s gonna be a major character considering in the world of MLP, he’d stick out like a sore thumb. Do with that what you will.
