Fairy Odd Parents: They're Gone

Winter was coming and I only had one pair of long pants on me, so I decided to get a ride to the nearest salvation army. I was short on funds at the time and I didn't have a lot of money on me which was why it was either this or nothing. When I got there, I lucked out and was able to find a few pairs in my size. I even had plenty of money left over.

I looked through a whole bunch of games and found Fairly Odd Parents: Breaking Da Rules for the PS2. I always liked this show and decided to take a gamble to see if this was going to be a decently made liscensed game. It was only three dollars anyway. I made the purchase and got home. When I opened up the case to the game, I was disappointed.

The game wasn't inside of the case, but instead a DVD of the actual show was. On the disc was a picture of Timmy as an adult from the episode "The Big Problem" where Timmy is sick of being a kid and wishes to get older. The person who had donated this probably made a mistake and switched up the game with the actual show. The disc was probably from the first season DVD box set.

Being bored and having nothing to do, I decided to pop the disc into my DVD and play it. My theory was wrong about it being from a season box set because there were only three episodes on the disc. The episodes "Superbike", "Deja Vu", and "They're Gone".

The DVD Title screen was a still image of the grown up Timmy crying when he was unfairly arrested in "The Big Problem" and wanted to be a kid again. I also noticed that "The Big Problem" wasn't one of the three episodes, so why would they have Grown Up Timmy on the disc and title? Strange as that is, I also don't remember seeing a episode titled "They're Gone" before.

The show was entertaining as usual with most of the episodes being as good as I remembered them before the later seasons messed everything up. I also noticed the episodes "Superbike" and "Deja Vu" were from the second season of the show after I looked it up. When the two episodes were over, "They're Gone" played.

The title card had a picture of Timmy with Cosmo and Wanda together. There were two X's crossing the two faeries out.

The episode begins with Timmy happily playing with his two faeries. Timmy makes a couple of wishes such as something to eat, wanting toys, or new video games. Next, there are a few montages where Timmy goes outside and spends time with his god parents while they're disguised. He then tries to impress Trixie like usual and fails at it. Finally, he's hiding under his bed while trying to avoid his evil babysitter, Vicky. Throughout these montages, comedic music plays while everything goes on.

After those scenes end, Timmy is laying down on his bed and he talks about all the fun that they had today despite what has happened. He actually acts like he appreciates his fairy god parents and it was a cute scene. Before Timmy goes to sleep, he speaks.

"I never want any of this to go away."

After that line, Wanda begins to frown a little and starts to look depressed. Despite being a character who was stupid at times, Cosmo shared these same feelings as Wanda.

"What should we tell him?" Wanda says to Cosmo

Both of them then turn into their fish forms and go into the fishbowl. Cosmo doesn't answer Wanda's question and stays silent despite being the comic relief.

The next scene has the same montages play out from before only without the comedic music and only absolute silence. The clips also repeated on a infinite loop. I remember the entire scene doing this for about a minute. As this goes on, it starts to speed up, though it's hard to notice at first. After about a minute, the entire scene fades into complete black.

A few seconds later, it cut to Timmy's house, zoomed out. It slowly begins to zoom in on the house. While this is going on, the sound of wind was being played. I noticed there were no cars in the parking lot which could only mean that Timmy's parents were either absent, away, or completely vanished. It zoomed in to the front door and cuts to inside of the residence.

The wind sound is now silent and there is now a still picture of a hallway. There are various portraits hanging on the walls, all of which contain pictures of scenes from various episodes. They were all flashbacks to previous episodes. They all were scenes from up to season 4 of the show. What I noticed was that they all consisted of Timmy doing something with his fairy's. This was when I finally realized that something wasn't right.

Part of "Da Rules" was that you couldn't do anything that would expose your fairy god parents to the outside world. It was clearly a violation. It was also obvious that Timmy had hung all of these potraits. The portraits however weren't the only thing. Toy's and plushes were scattered over the floor, some being in big piles.

It then kept cutting to more still pictures of various rooms in the household. It was a complete mess and none of the rooms looked plesant to be in. This was hoarding to a new level that even in a kid's show, it was starting to get disturbing. After a few more of these still pictures, it finally cuts to a room where we finally see Timmy again. Sadly, he was no longer his usual mischivious self.

Timmy was now a full grown adult who looked exactly like he did in "The Big Problem". He is looking out a window with only his back exposed. There was a torn part of the wall which spelled out "They're Gone". Timmy begins to speak and when he does, depressing music that felt like it belonged elsewhere begins to pick up.

"I wish I hadn't lived this long."

It was abnormal to see Timmy speaking like a emo. This wasn't the character that I knew and liked.

"What is the point of everyone's existance?"

Timmy turns around finally to show himself. While Timmy as a adult looked unplesant, he looked even more unsettling then he did in that episode. He looks at the floor and at all of the toys scattered around his room and starts to play with some of them, quickly getting bored with each of them. He gets frustrated and begins to sob while speaking.

"What did I do to lose my friends? Is it destiny that when you grow old that you seperate from them?"

I realized what had happened. Timmy was now a adult which meant that he had to give up his fairy's. Somehow, he still had memories of them despite the fact that they were suppose to be wiped upon losing them. Seeing him in this state made me feel sorry for him and now I knew it would of been much better if he had no memory of his old friends.

"You grow up innocent, thinking the world is a pure place, but in the end, it's all a big lie!"

Timmy begins to vent his frustrations and starts kicking around his toys.

"We were all destined to lose our freedom, lose our privileges, and become slaves to society!"

Timmy is now completely enraged and continues to destroy everything that is around him. It didn't matter what it was, he still broke things such as furniture and the likes. When Timmy was finished, he starts walking out of his room. We then see him walking down a long hallway from a front view.

He continues walking while voice clips of various quotes from Cosmo and Wanda are heard. Timmy makes it to a random closet and begins opening it, I wasn't ready for what happened next.

When he opened the closet, I saw Cosmo and Wanda now hanging by two ropes inside. Unlike other cartoons that can have comedic deaths, the two fairy's looked lifeless as if the whole show had fused with reality.

"I wasn't going to let anyone else have you." Timmy said in a hateful voice.

He continues to talk.

"You were mine and only mine alone, I had no choice."

Timmy is now shown holding a knife in his hand, he looks at the two deceased god parents and then he looks at the knife.

The screen cut to black once more slashing is heard, followed by Timmy gagging horribly. Immediately, I mute the TV and take the disc out of my PS2. I finally decided that enough was enough and that I couldn't take it anymore. I drove back to the place I got it from and returned the disc the way I had gotten it. I simply donated the cursed thing since I didn't care if I got a refund.

As you can imagine, I was scared out of my mind after seeing that. I don't know what the hell or who the hell was responsible for it, but I'm glad to no longer have it in my possession. You're probably wondering why I didn't just destroy the thing, it's because I figured that someone who can stomach it will probably find it interesting. I didn't want to possibly be responsible for breaking the only disc.

I can only apoligize in advance if a younger kid has it.
