“ | Tell me I'm pretty! | ” |
— Trixie Tang |
"Just the Two of Us" is the eighteenth episode of Season 4 which aired on November 27, 2004 in the US.
Plot
At the ice-skating rink, Timmy wants to be partners with Trixie. Other boys go to her first, so Timmy tries to guarantee that, by wishing that he would be the only boy at school. However, a boy from another school goes to her first. So he wishes that he and Trixie were the only two people on earth. Even that fails when Mark the alien goes to her first. Finally, he says a detailed wish and his dream comes true. The problem is: Trixie is needy and "goes nuts" when she is not adored by many boys. To make matters worse, Trixie is very messy with break-ups; like using an attack helicopter.
Synopsis
The students of Timmy's school are on a field trip at the local ice skating rink. Timmy, Chester and A.J. are having fun ice skating. A.J. has enhanced training blades, while Chester is wearing nothing on his feet but socks with holes in the toes. Suddenly the announcer calls for "couples skate", and everyone begins to pair up except for Timmy, Chester, and A.J. Chester uses his "emergency couples skating kit" for just this situation, basically it is a wig and a girl's dress which he wears joining A.J. and they skate away. Timmy sees that Trixie Tang did not find a partner yet, but when he tries to get close enough to ask her, she snaps her fingers and a crowd of boys appears around her on cue, all of them commenting on how pretty she is. Chester tells Timmy that Trixie wouldn't skate with him if he was the only boy on Earth. This gives Timmy an idea, he uses his fairies to wish away all the other boys from his school, and they are all poofed away, but he is foiled again when a French foreign exchange student tries to hook up with Trixie. Timmy tries again, this time wishing he was the only boy left on Earth. However, now Mark Chang the alien tries his luck with Trixie. Frustrated, Timmy wishes that he, Trixie, and his fairies, were the only beings left on Earth, and that Trixie could not question why.
Timmy wishes he and Trixie were alone on Earth.

Trixie stalks Timmy.
While Timmy is running through the department store trying to escape Trixie, Wanda appears before him and gloats and dances around, telling him "I told you so! I told you so! Go Wanda! Go Wanda!", Timmy realizes that Trixie is used to having hundreds of boys complimenting her every day, and with all of them gone she expects Timmy to adore her the same amount as hundreds of boys. Timmy wants to get out of this relationship, so he asks Wanda to unwish the wish, but before she can, Cosmo suddenly appears. He is jealous of Timmy and thinks he is trying to steal Wanda from him, so he grabs her and they poof away. Timmy is alone, but not for long. He tries to hide in a stack of tires but Trixie was waiting right under there for him! She grabs him by the arm and drags him away, Timmy tries to gnaw his arm off but Trixie sees this and asks him why. Timmy realizes he needs to do it the hard way, and although he never thought he would do this, he breaks up with Trixie. This makes her furious, she says that if she cannot have Timmy then nobody can and, as a result, vows to kill him. Wanda attempts to poof back to Timmy so they can make a quick wish, but Cosmo jealously poofs them both away from Timmy. She chases Timmy throughout the department store, attacking him with gardening tools, a lawn mower, a baseball launcher, and even a helicopter. While Timmy ponders what they don't sell in this store, Trixie locks and says, "Even though it's technologically impossible for me to miss you, I'll MISS YOU!" and presses the fire button.

"Love hurts! ..and it makes a fine mulch for your lawn or garden."
A harmless flag pops out of the missile pod, saying that the missiles were sold separately. Wanda finally manages to convince Cosmo to stop poofing them away from Timmy by hugging him and smothering him with love, causing Cosmo to realize what trouble Timmy is in, and they poof to his rescue.
Trixie instead decides to use the helicopter's rotor blades in an attempt to slice Timmy in half. Cosmo and Wanda appear in the nick of time and Timmy wishes that everyone, including aliens, were back on Earth, right in the brink of time, as Trixie's helicopter's tail rotor blade was slicing through his hair. Cosmo and Wanda grant the wish, everyone is returned, and Trixie's memory of this event was erased. Mark Chang appears in front of the White House proclaiming that he is back to dominate Earth, then quickly corrects himself and says he is a harmless girl scout when several Secret Service agents slap hand cuffs on all of his tentacles. Back at school, Trixie is her normal self now that she has her many admirers back. In the science lab, Timmy says that he is done with "couples stuff" for a while and wants time for just himself, and that he is actually glad to see other people for once. Suddenly Mr. Crocker says that it's "Romantic Lab Partners Day", he presses a button and a disco ball and flashing lights appear in the room. Chester breaks out his "Emergency Romantic Lab Partners Kit" but this time Timmy kicks him away and steals the wig from him so he can partner with A.J., who hugs the cross-dressed Timmy and whispers "Tell me I'm pretty." in Trixie's voice to him, causing him to scream in terror. Wanda and Cosmo appear nearby, Wanda says that one day Timmy will find a partner he has the right chemistry with, much like she found Cosmo. When she grabs his arms though he suddenly tries to gnaw his own arm off as the episode ends.
