24: Timmy Turner.

"How does a kid deserve a title as big as 'Infamous'?" asked Ciri curiously, even though she had heard that a girl caused World War I, she had not expected the conversation to shift so abruptly to a strange kid with a title that sounded like that.

Samus pursed her lips as she remembered all the shenanigans, stupid things, and screw-ups Timmy Turner had done to the best of her recollection. Besides, this was the real world and not a TV series, so there must be worse things she didn't know about. 

"Can you imagine, every day I have to fix all the problems Timmy Turner causes? By the Light, there has never been a child as devastating as this one, it's as if everything we try to teach the other children doesn't go through his head. 

For example, before you arrived, he was solving another one of his problems, guess what our not-so-dear Timmy Turner wished for?" Jorgen showed anger as he spoke as if all the self-control he possessed was gone because of that little brat.

"I don't know, what would a kid like that have wanted, cakes raining from the sky?" asked Samus with a bit of humor to lighten the tension in the air, but she noticed that Jorgen made a pouty face.

"That was last month, no, what he wished for today was for dinosaurs to exist again..." Jorgen had to take a breath, even a being as long-lived and powerful as he was would feel short of breath at the unbridled stupidity of this child.

"What's the matter, isn't there a Jurassic Park in Samus' world?" asked Ciri innocently, and well, she didn't quite understand what was wrong with Timmy's wish, but Samus did.

"Oh, don't tell me, how bad was it?" asked Samus quickly, getting an idea of everything that could have happened. 

"The world, the whole planet was suddenly covered with thousands of different dinosaurs, lots of accidents, lots of deaths, lots of chaos. I had to use almost all of my powers to get everything back to normal. 

But I couldn't override the boy's wish, only his godparents could, so I trapped the most famous species of dinosaurs in his hometown of Dimmsdale, let him live his 'adventure' for the day, and waited for his poor mind to wish those creatures away" Jorgen's words seemed very causal, but they contained very valuable information.

First of all, Timmy was something of an agent of chaos, his wishes seemed to affect the whole world, and it was Jorgen who had to get rid of their influence, or at least contain it in one place. 

Second, Timmy seemed to be someone who repeatedly made irresponsible wishes without considering the consequences or ramifications of his actions.

Third, this world was realistic; Timmy's wishes caused destruction, discomfort, and even death. He was probably unaware of these problems because he was shielded from them by the fact that he was a child.

Fourth and last, Timmy seemed to have gotten used to living his adventures out of his desires and then wanting to fix things, even though one would expect him to learn from it, he seemed to be enough of an idiot to at least forget about things the next day. 

Samus rubbed the bridge of her nose, mentally she had already raised the danger of this world to the highest level, all because of a single child. 

"Why don't you just take away his magical godparents?" asked Ciri a key question, something Samus also wanted to know.

"The rules are the rules, I can't just take away his godparents, even though I've tried, he always finds a way around it. I'm afraid that this child will grow up and cling to his childish ways in order not to lose them, thus defeating the very purpose of the Magic Godfathers," Jorgen's answer reminded Samus of the infamous Magic Godfathers live-action movies. 

In them, Timmy was already a 13-year-old adult, but he goes to school with other kids because he never advanced in grade, something super shady, by the way. He plays with kids in the park, he wears his typical clothes as if he never wants to grow up, well, that's the point, he doesn't want to grow up, he doesn't want to mature. 

"But this boy is always causing trouble, sometimes he has even messed with the fabric of time itself, I have memories of him in a time where he doesn't belong, and he has even ruined the lives of people close to him.

He once wished he had never been born, and with a few exceptions, everyone in that alternate reality seemed much better off without him. Ironically, it was this wish that made us magical beings aware of the alternate versions of our universe.

Did you know that in other versions of this universe, Timmy Turner ended up being a good person? But no, I got to live in the reality where Timmy Turner is just a hopelessly stupid human being," Jorgen seemed to be a bit affected by this, and it was a somewhat shocking image for Samus and Ciri.

To see such a powerful and imposing being feel vulnerable because of a mere child is something you'd see as funny in cartoons, but in the real world where things can get ugly because of children's desires, it's something really disturbing.

What's worse is that you can't just refuse their services, because of the way things worked here, especially for normal fairies, if they didn't fulfill their wishes after a certain amount of time, their physical forms would be destroyed, leaving only their remnant consciousness. 

So, in a sense, their entire race was tied to little children, who were generally innocent and harmless until they encountered little monsters like the one who caused a world war, or the infamous Timmy Turner, someone who truly deserved that title. 

"He has no conscience for his actions, he desires things and then gives them up as if they were mere toys. He even began to play with life by resurrecting a pet, and do you know the problems that caused? It was only a small rodent, but the implications for the system that manages life and death were terrible, and the worst thing is that he learned nothing and this time revived dinosaurs.

Political messes because of him, as well as ethical ones. Things spread fast, what if all the children in the world suddenly start wishing for their pets, relatives or some extinct species to be resurrected like today? 

Imagine orphans resurrecting their parents, only to have their rotting corpses want to end their lives. Worse, imagine that one of these children has fanatical parents of a dangerous figure who has finally died, what if he resurrects him? Chaos!

That's why I'm thinking of adding a rule against that, you don't know how many I've added in less than a year because of that little annoyance," Jorgen looked visibly tired at this point if he didn't have naturally white hair, it would surely be full of gray by now.

"What if Timmy became more aware of his actions?" asked Samus suddenly with a small smile on her lips, she had come up with something to solve Jorgen's problems, luckily she already had a solution in her personal space, prepared for moments like this, although she planned to use it against some redeemable villain.

But what was Timmy Turner? A little bastard who needed a very heavy and dense dose of reality, one that would teach him a lesson for life as well as enlighten his empty head a bit.

"You can't kill the boy," Jorgen said with some remorse in his words, he had already thought about it thinking about the little boy's sad end was something that helped him to bear it.

"What, no, nothing like that, something to make him regret his actions and be much more aware of them in the future, as a bonus, maybe he'll become smarter, at least on a normal level," Samus' smile widened as many ideas flashed through her mind.

What better way to solve a problem without hurting the people involved? Make it stop being one, of course. Samus already had a plan in mind, and if it worked, this situation would not only serve as a test for a few things, but it would also advance and improve the status of her plans in this world. 

Ciri looked at Samus' smile, knowing that something complicated was going on in the blonde's little head, but decided to ask later, since she was certainly interested in the current situation. Besides, Timmy made her quite curious and she wanted to get to know him because as far as she understood, he was something like her, a 'protagonist'.

The concept of a protagonist is somewhat understandable when you have the artistic context, be it fiction or non-fiction. But in the Omniverse, there were special worlds where special beings were created, and because of their similarity to fiction, they were collectively called protagonists.

This was something Samus explained to him, saying that there were worlds where a prophecy could be made, and then a chosen one would be appointed. Like a certain boy with a lightning scar on his forehead. 

He was just that, an ordinary boy, but at a certain point, important events began to happen around him, directly or indirectly, until the said prophecy was fulfilled.

Samus theorized that situations like this occur when the world itself is aware but unable to intervene in a situation that, if left unchecked, could cause terrible damage. 

She explained that if this child had not been prophesied, the person she was destined to fight would have two outcomes.

The first outcome, he would die when his main rival at that moment gets tired of waiting for love to somehow help him change things. 

Second, that person would wreak such havoc on the world that the world's existence would be ruined for a long time before it recovered naturally. 

Samus then handed her the Seven Books, which told of a boy named Harry Potter. Ciri thought at first that this was pure fiction, but the blonde explained that it was so in this universe, and perhaps in others, but out there it was certainly something real that happened, is happening, or will happen. 

Unbeknownst to her, Samus had been preparing Ciri's psyche for when she would inevitably know that her world was fiction in some universes, just as Samus' was. Why do that? Because it was better for Ciri to know now, when she was young than in the future, when it could be much more dangerous. 

"Tell me, what are you going to do to solve this doomed child?" asked Jorgen, the fire of hope burning in his eyes.

If this visitor from another universe had a solution to his problem, perhaps she could help him make a profit. Of course, he realized that these two women hadn't come here as tourists, he was so old and experienced that it was so easy to recognize their intentions that he was even numb to it.

"Oh, well, first you have to make sure that he didn't make any wishes at that time, then..." Samus explained a short, simple, and straightforward plan, but that didn't make it any less wonderful.

Jorgen's and Ciri's eyes showed disbelief at the means this girl could use, they were simple, at least for the Highest Fairy, but it was so... simple that it surprised them. Ciri, on the other hand, sighed deeply after making sure that Samus hadn't done something similar to her and even prepared defenses for such a situation. 

Damn, what kind of worldview did Samus have that she had so many strange and complicated ideas, but the execution was so simple? Ciri was glad inside that she had met Samus when she was a child and that they were close friends, not only because it helped her a lot, but also because she noticed Samus' efforts to protect her.

The way Ciri looked at Samus again that day changed a little, a small spark had been ignited, waiting for the perfect moment to ignite.
