After being disappointed by the Camelot Fair (the knight is shorter than he looks, the Magician is a cleaning product salesmen, and the Dragon is only a dog wearing a dragon mask that even it is afraid of), Timmy wishes that he was in the real Camelot, but Timmy's parents somehow come along with him and are about to be eaten by a dragon. | |||||||||||||||

He discovers that Remy has a Fairy Godparent. Wanda knows who it is, but when she refuses to Timmy, he wishes for her to tell him. Remy's fairy turns out to be Juandissimo Magnifico, Wanda's ex-boyfriend. Remy discovers Timmy's fairies, and to make sure that Timmy does not wish he had more money than him (although Da Rules say that a godchild cannot wish for money), he challenges Timmy to a Magical Duel, where the loser loses his fairies and forgets he ever had them. Timmy tries selling lemonade to see Crash Nebula on Ice, but his lemonade tastes horrible. Timmy discovers that Cosmo's sweat makes the lemonade taste better, and adds it as his secret ingredient. His lemonade is now a success, but with an unfortunate side-effect: it grants the wishes of the people who drink it. | |||||||||||||||

Timmy wishes the great American leaders into his house to finish his report, but because they have vanished from history, the United States reverts to being British colonies. To make things worse, Timmy is unable to wish them back, because Cosmo and Wanda's wands are taken for taxes (Taxation Without Representation). Timmy must now use his Time-Scooter to get them back to their own time period to stop Benedict Arnold from creating the alternate future. | |||||||||||||||

For Halloween, Timmy wants a Jack-O-Bot costume as his Halloween costume, but the only four Jack-O-Bot costumes in existence were won in a contest, which Trixie, Veronica, Tad, and Chad won because they bribed the judges. To make things worse, Vicky is being paid by Timmy's parents to take Timmy and his friends trick-or-treating, and forces him to wear a mummy costume made out of toilet paper. Vicky gets all of the candy, while Timmy and his friends get nothing. Realizing that Vicky is scary and gets more candy because of it, Timmy wishes that everyone's Halloween costumes were real and scary. This causes everyone to become real and scary versions of the costumes they wear, including the popular kids, who turn into the real Jack-O-Bots and threaten to destroy the world. Also, Timmy cannot undo the wish because Cosmo and Wanda were in costume at the time and are now no longer magical. Meanwhile, the Yugopotamians, seeing people celebrate Halloween, think Earth is planning an attack on them and attempt to counter-attack. Guest star: Gilbert Gottfried as Dr. Bender and Wendell Bender | |||||||||||||||
