"When Timmy Met Lexi" was created in 2012 when FanFiction.Net author Purpledino25
decided that Timmy Turner needed a human friend with fairy godparents to go on magical adventures with. The story began in 2008 as "Timmy Meets Lexi," was transferred to FFN under the same name in 2011, and was rewritten as the current edition the following year.
Timmy Turner is late for school once again when he turns a corner and literally runs right into Lexi Sanders, the new girl in school. It doesn't take long for Timmy to realize that there's something strange about her, or for him to find out that he is no longer the only kid in school with a life miserable enough to warrant fairy godparents. Amazed at suddenly having a new friend who he can skateboard with on Mars, Timmy embraces his new friendship with Lexi eagerly. But their fun is interrupted all too soon when Lexi, angry with her godmother, accidentally blasts two large holes into the side of her house with her suddenly glowing purple hands.
