Chapter 1: The lose of Cindy
"Hey Jimmy what's up?" Asked Sheen running up to Jimmy as he was walking by himself.
"Nothing much Sheen. You?" Jimmy asked.
"Carl, Libby and I are going to the Candy Bar. Wanna come?"
"Na, don't feel like it tonight."
"Oh. Ok then. C'ya later Jimmy." Sheen said and ran off to join Libby and Carl, who were waiting for him.
"C'ya later Sheen."
Jimmy watched his friend run and then Jimmy walked off home. He walked inside and found his parents in the kitchen. His mother making dinner and his father was reading an article on the high chances of ducks being extinct (which horrified him.) Jimmy walked up to the fridge and got a purple flurp.
"Hello Jimmy how was school today?" Asked Hugh.
"Boring as usual and you?"
"The same."
"Well not for me. I had a wonderful lunch with Mrs Vort-" And all became silent in the room.
"It's ok mum, you can say it."
"Mrs Vortex."
"How was she?"
"Good, good. Still trying to be strong about the divorce though."
"Yeah, I guess it would be hard. As much as I miss Cindy, I'm glad she's not here to see this or she would be terribly upset." Hugh sadly said which made Jimmy frown slightly.
But realising his mistake Hugh quickly spoke again what he meant. "Oops. I didn't mean it that way Jimmy."
"No, no it's fine. I know what you're trying to say. Um, can I go to bed now and not have any dinner? I don't feel very hungry."
"Of course it's ok. But I want you to have a big breakfast in the morning. My treat." Said Judy.
"Ok. Night mum, night dad."
"Night Jimmy." Said both of his parents as Jimmy ran upstairs. Jimmy walked into his room and saw Goddard sleeping on the bed. Jimmy smiled at this and went into his bathroom for a shower and then put on his blue boxers. Jimmy then looked at himself in the mirror. He had changed A LOT in six years, he was muscular, '6ft 1' and finally got rid of his hairstyle.
Jimmy had cut his hair short making it messy but very stylish, he was the hottest guy in school because every girl at want him but he remained single. He wouldn't because is in love with someone. Correction, was in love with someone but he knew that it was never meant to be.
"Cindy." He gently whispered after climbing into bed. Goddard obviously heard because the next minute he crawled up to Jimmy and snuggled up to him. Jimmy smiled at this and fell asleep.
Meanwhile at the Candy Bar...
"Hey Sheen what took you so long?" Asked Libby.
"Sorry Baby. I was asking Jimmy if he wanted to come with us but he didn't." And sat down next to Libby. Sheen and Libby have been dating since yr10. Libby had long black hair but kept it in a high ponytail, grew up to '5ft 8' and became a very beautiful woman. Sheen was '5ft 9', became really cute and strong cause he joined the school's football team and was still a huge fan of Ultra Lord.
"Aw Jimmy didn't come." Said Carl. He is '5ft 8' and had begun to go to the gym in yr 9 and lost weight. He is now apart of a wrestling team at school and most girls flirt with him now. He also did not wear glasses anymore, he wore contacts.
"He said he didn't feel like it."
"He never feels like it these days ever since..." Libby stopped, she couldn't bear to finish the sentence and as a result she was trying hold back the tears.
"It's ok Libby, you don't have to say it." Said Sheen as he rubbed her back to soothe her so she could calm down.
"No Sheen, I have to accept it... Cindy is dead and she's never gonna come back."
"What makes me really upset is that they never found her killer or her body." Said Carl.
"It's really sad but Cindy wouldn't want us to be upset." Said Sheen.
"Yeah, but I wish Jimmy would be happy. I mean he's still happy and normal, but I can tell he really misses Cindy because he's never dated any of the girls at school but who would. Most of them are sluts." Said Libby.
"You know he still thinks he's respnsible for her death." Said Carl.
"But it WASN'T his fault, Carl. He didn't know Cindy would run away, none of us did." Said Libby. She sighed after that comment, she felt tired. Not literally but mentally. But what hurt Libby is that Cindy ran away and she didn't tell Libby about her problems. 'If only she came to me and talked to me about the argument, she wouldn't of run away and she'd still be alive.' But she knew everything happened for a purpose but she couldn't figure why this had to happen.
"Oh well, let's stop talking about this and have something to eat." Said Sheen.
"Oh good, I'm hungry." Said Carl.
"You're always hungry Carl." Said Libby.
"I know. But I'm a growing boy." He said making the whole group laugh happily and forget their earlier discussion.
Meanwhile somewhere unknown a young woman in her early 30's was walking up to her friend. She had long ruby red hair up to her chest but was put up with a clip. Creamy skin, a great figure, aqua green eyes and was "5ft 10". She wore a lab coat on that had black skirt and dark blue blouse with black high heels underneath.
She was a computer technician and very intelligent female agent. When she saw her friend sitting at a table by herself the woman smiled, tapping her friend on the shoulder and sat down next to her who was wearing tight black pants, black high heeled leather boots and a hooded, zip up, black leather jacket. The friend looked up and smiled.
"Hey Claire, what are you doing here?" Asked the friend.
"Oh just here to see how my favourite eighteen year old is." Said Claire.
"Claire, I'm the only eighteen year old here."
"I know. That's why you're my favourite." The 18 year old chuckled at that but still looked down about something.
"Hey what's wrong?" Claire asked.
"Tommorow is the day."
"'The day?' What do you mean?"
"You know Claire. 'The day.'"
"Oh I'm so sorry. I completly forgot about it."
"It's ok Claire. It's not that important and besides you've been really busy lately."
"'It's not that important!' Of cause it's important. I should've remembered whether I've been busy or not, it does matter. It's an important day for you because it's been five years since you joined us."
"Yeah. I can't believe it, it's been five years since I left everything I ever loved. I have to admit it but I miss it all so much, but I don't regret becoming an agent and I'm glad I left. I messed it up and you guys gave me a chance to start fresh."
"Well I'm glad you came. These past five years have been great. You've brought me and everyone here happiness. Remember when you first came here? I didn't want to take care of you and we had to live together. And we always had fights."
"Yeah and I remember I didn't be anywhere near you and I always sneaked into your room to borrow your clothes and make up. Oops!"
"You took my make up! You little rascal."
"Oh yeah, and I also borrowed your shoes."
"I was wondering where they went. But at least you returned them and kept them in good condition."
"Yeah, I miss those days."
"Don't worry, we'll have more days like that. And now you're old enough to go night clubbing with me."
"Are you sure we get can get in? I think you're too old for it grandma."
"Why you little-get back here Miss Cynthia Aurora Vortex!" Claire yelled as she chased Cindy out of the cafe.
After a good fifteen minutes Claire gave up on the chase and Cindy paraded around Claire. Claire then suddenly jumped on Cindy as she turned around and making both of the girls fall to the ground. But both of them just giggled and helped each other to get up.
"Come on let's go home." Said Claire.
"Ok." Said Cindy. Then the two women walked out to the parking lot to Claire's car, it was a black mercedes 'Kompressor' auto covertible with interior leather and had enough room for two people. Cindy also had a car given to her by the agency when she turned sixteen. Her was the same as Claire's in every way except Cindy's car was colbolt blue. Cindy got in the car and Claire joined afterwards.
As the women were in the car they began talking about how each of them had to give up on everything they loved. That was another thing they had in common, Claire was young when she joined the agency and had to fake her own death. This made Claire feel guilty as much as Cindy felt when she faked her own death. Cindy didn't know why Claire became an agent and whenever she asked Claire, she would change the subject.
But Cindy knew why she became an agent. Cindy sighed and closed her eyes to remember. Cindy had only just turned thirteen. When she got a note from a mysterious person in the mail.
Flashback:
"Cindy can you get the mail for me sweetie?" Asked Mrs Vortex.
"Sure mum." Said Cindy and slid down the stairs. Cindy picked up the mail and checked to see if there was anything for her. All of it was bill's except for one. When she saw it she looked at the back to see who it was from but it only said 'For Miss Vortex's eyes only.' Cindy thought it was weird but handed the mail to her mother and then went to her room and begun reading.
To Miss Vortex,
Your special skills have enabled you to be selected by a secret agency group
for you to become apart of our secret organistation. If you are interested with
this please give us a reply on our email address. Our address is below.
P.S. Once you've given a reply, please destroy this letter immediatley. We can't
afford our enemies to get this info and this is not a joke.
From P.S.F.P.U.S.A.
"What kind of joke is this?" She asked out loud but was curious if they were really being serious. Usually Cindy would think it was a prank pulled by Jimmy but for some reason she felt Jimmy didn't do this. Cindy decided not to destroy the letter but instead put it in her diary where no one could find it. She then went on her computer and sent an email to P.S.F.P.U.S.A. and got an instant reply.
Welcome to P.S.F.P.U.S.A. Miss Vortex. We would like to meet you in person soon, so please book an appointment of when and where you would like to meet.
P.S.F.P.U.S.A.
"Hmmm. I wonder what P.S.F.P.U.S.A. stands for?" Cindy said out loud, but was careful not to let her parents hear their daughter not to talk out loud about a secret organisation. Cindy wondered whether she should meet these strangers or not but thought about getting a laugh from it. So she emailed the organisation saying to meet up with her at twelve on Saturday in the park. After sending it, Cindy looked at her clock.
10:59 it said. Cindy decided to change into some other clothes and changed into a denim pleated, mini skirt and a white short sleeved top that showed off her shoulders. She let her hair down and put a green dragonfly hairclip on. When she looked at the clock once more this time it said 11:20.
Knowing she should better get a move on, she grabbed her pink handbag and ran down stairs. "MUM! I have to go somewhere now. I'll be back soon ok?" She yelled.
"Where are you going Cindy?" Her mother asked.
"Going to the park to meet up with someone. It's really, really important." Cindy said while she was putting on her white, strapped sandles.
"Ok then. Have fun and be back by dinner time."
"I will mum. C'ya."
"C'ya sweetie." And the door closed.
Cindy walked walked on the pathway and then took a deep breathe of relief that her mom would let her go out today without asking questions. As Cindy walked she noticed Jimmy and Goddard playing on the lawn. Unsual she thought but continued walking but Jimmy noticed her and crossed the street. Cindy had to admit Jimmy was cute because he wore baggy jeans and a red top. He also had a new hair style that was spiky.
"Hey Vortex! What's up?" He asked.
"Nothing that would interest you Nerdtron. But I'm interested that you are not testing out one of your stupid experiments." She calmly replied.
"Why do you always act like that Vortex?"
"Like what Jerkules?"
"Like some stuck up cheerleader."
"If I that, then how come you're a science nerd?"
"For your information Vortex, my intelligence has gotten us out of bad situations!"
"Yeah, only because you got us into them!"
"Well I rather be a genius than be some blonde stuck up girl trying to win the affections of a dumbass rebel. But listening to what I just said, I know that I'm smarter than you!"
"You jerk!"
"Bitch."
"I HATE YOU, JIMMY NEUTRON BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A BASTARD AND I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE!" And she ran off as fast as she could before Jimmy could stop her. Cindy tried to keep calm but was blinded with tears as she ran to the park andshe sat underneath the tree to cry, she did this for fifteen minutes.
Once Cindy calmed down, she walked over to the fountain and made sure no one was there so she could wash her face. She felt better to feel cold water against her face and sat down on the fountain's edge to wait for the "agents."
At 12:20 the agents still didn't turn up and was about to leave until a man in his early 50's came up. He had short grey hair, green eyes but was wearing glasses and had a black suit on. Beside him was Claire in a black suit (obviously had a skirt instead of pants.) Cindy looked a bit confused but then turned back into her normal self.
"Are you Miss Vortex?" The old said asked.
"Yes. And who are you exactly?"
"I am Commander David and this is Claire Lion, P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s computer technician."
"Please to meet you, Commander and Miss Lion." Said Cindy.
"How did you know I'm single Miss Vortex? I could be already married." Asked Claire who looked slightly annoyed and offended at Cindy's comment.
"Well you're not wearing a ring. So I just presumed it."
"You have to admit she's good." Said the Commander.
"Hmph."
"Anyway who cares about that. Why did you send me that letter?" Cindy asked. (A/N: Claire isn't involved with this conversation.)
"Because we are a new agency who are looking for new cadets to become agents." Said the Commander.
"Yeah but aren't I a bit too young to be an agent? I'm only thirteen!"
"We know. But we want to experiment our hypothesis. We believe if we can train children at an early age the skills of an agent, we'll be more successful in completing our misson."
"Ok. But what IS your mission and what does P.S.F.P.U.S.A. mean?"
"We can't tell you here but we can tell you in a secluded area."
"NO WAY! I'm not going anywhere in a car with you guys. I don't even know you so how can I trust you and think something won't happen?"
"You're right on that but I can guarantee you, Miss Vortex that I do have a wife and kids and I know as a parent that I would never hurt an innocent child."
"Don't worry Cindy we're not sick perverts you hear on tv." Said Claire, that comment still didn't make Cindy feel any better but it was enough to pursuade her into trusting them. They got into a black limo and left just as Jimmy watched them leave as he was hiding behind a tree.
"Cindy what are you doing? She maybe in danger! I've got to follow her. Goddard activate flycycle turbo mode." Said Jimmy.
"Activating flying mode." Said Goddard before transforming and then Jimmy jumped on. Jimmy followed the limo for twenty minutes but when the limo made a sharp turn, Jimmy lost track of them.
When the limo finally got to it's destination Cindy got out and looked around. It was a huge amount of bushland with dirt road that looked like it hadn't been used in years. For some reason this made Cindy edgy and ready to brace herself for anything that was about to happen.
"Alright we're here but I've got a few unanswered questions. One thing, who are you and what does P.S.F.P.U.S.A. stand for? Also what's your mission?" Contemplated Cindy. She began to get really annoyed at the two strangers but she soon began to feel sick with fear.
"Miss Lion please tell Cindy everything." Said the Commander.
"Yes Sir. You see Cindy, P.S.F.P.U.S.A. stands for the Protection, Saftey, Freedom, Peace of the U.S.A. Our mission is to protect America from enemy countries and to make peace with other countires so that we can help them and make a better world. Now do you understand Cindy?"
"I do. But who exactly are our enemies and also what's more important is why did you chose me?"
"Our enemies are countries such as Russia, China, Africa and many more. And also we chose you because of your high IQ. Do you remember doing a test a few months ago?" Asked the Commander.
"Yes I remember that! I got the highest mark in the class other than Nerdtron."
"Who? Oh yes, Jimmy Neutron. He's quite a smart kid and has got a bright future ahead of him." Said the Commander, this got Cindy annoyed at him because she was still upset about the earlier argument.
"Wait a minute, how come you're not asking him to become a agent?"
"We believe that it's best not to have him as a agent because he may invent something that could help or save the world one day and also the fact, people would get awfully suspicious that the smartest kid in town disapeared and did not some how come back. They would lead to the government." Said Claire.
"You're right about that. So, what happens now?"
"Well we need to know if you want to become the youngest P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s agent or be a normal teenager. But you have to know this, if you become an agent, you can't have any contact with your family or friends." Said the Commander.
"So this means I can never see them again? Mum, dad, Libby... Neutron." Cindy whispered Jimmy's last name quietly to herself and tears began to swell up in her eyes but she held them back with every ounce of strength she could muster.
"Cindy, this is probably one of the hardest decision you'll ever have to make but please choose wisely, we don't have much time. Normally we give you a few days but our radar detects that something is rapidly approaching us and our computers can't analyse it. It's a small vehicle but not a registered car or truck." Said Claire as she had her hand on Cindy's shoulder so that she could be soothed.
"It must be Neutron! We've gotta go now or else he'll catch us." Said Cindy.
"Ok. But what's your decision? Are you gonna join us or are you gonna have a normal life?" Said Claire.
Cindy knew from that point on she was never going to have a normal life again or ever tell Jimmy her feelings. But Cindy wanted to run away from him because he had hurt her with such cruel words so she made her decision. "Ok. I've made my decision, and I want to become the youngest P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s agent."
"That's great! Welcome aboard Miss Vortex." Said the Commander as he shook her hand and then Cindy shook Claire's hand.
"Congratulations Miss Vortex. But are you sure you want to do this? This is a pretty big decision." Said Claire after finishing shaking hands with Cindy.
"Yeah I'm pretty sure. It's not every day you're offered to become a secret agent and I really want to do this so I can help America and bring peace to it."
"Ok well let's go already. Your friend will be here any minute. Cindy we need you to act like you're being kidnapped. We know you're one of the best actresses in school." Said Claire.
"Jeez, how much do you know about me?"
"Nearly everything except personal stuff like crushes or music, etc." Said Claire.
Just as Jimmy and Goddard arrived they saw Cindy screaming and struggling and then pulled into a car by two strangers in black suits. The car then began to drive off at a rapid speed.
"CINDY!" Jimmy screamed and was about to chase them until a bomb came out of the car that scared Jimmy and then exploded with a gas making him pass out and leaving him forget everything he just saw. But before he closed his eyes he whispered Cindy's name.
Meanwhile in the limo...
Cindy sat next to the window looking out at nothing really but it was better than showing the adults she was crying. But because Claire was sitting next to her, Claire knew better and put a P.S.F.P.U.S.A. jacket on Cindy's shoulders. It was a black sports jacket. On the right side it had a logo of an eagle with P.S.F.P.U.S.A. underneath in red letters. Cindy looked at it showing her grattitude to Claire and then put it on properly.
"Thanks." Cindy whispered.
"You're welcome Cindy. You can keep it. It's yours now." Claire whispered back and then turned to speak to the Commander. "Sir what will happen now?"
"Well first we will start organising when Cindy can have start P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s training course and then find permanent accomodation for Miss Vortex. Actually I have an idea, why don't you two live together?"
"WHAT! NO WAY!" Shouted both Claire and Cindy.
"And why not?"
"I'm not good with kids." Said Claire.
"And I rather live by myself." Said Cindy.
"Well I'm sorry but I've come to the decision that you two will live together and that's an ORDER."
"Yes Sir." Said the two females.
End of flashback.
"Cindy, we're home." Claire said softly. Cindy opened her eyes but still felt exhausted from today. But knew she had to get out of the car and walk inside to get to her comfy bed.
Claire and Cindy lived in a twostorey tuscan styled house. It had a huge terricota tiled verandah with a saltwater pool, the could sunbathe there or have a bbq. But from the verandah you could see their large garden that had many exoctic plants. The 1st floor was a granny flat that had two bedrooms, also a spa and rumpus room. Upstairs it had three bedrooms and two bathrooms basically you could have ten people live with you if two people shared each room.
To Cindy this place was truly her home and made Cindy felt at peace here. She lived here with Claire for five years and then the two women became very close friends and also made P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s experiment a success by becoming P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s best agent.
And because of that, P.S.F.P.U.S.A. got more children to become agents when they became the age of 14, which always saddened Cindy to see that these children so young decided to give up their innoncence and lose their normal lives but she knew most of them left because they were orphans or came from broken homes. At least here they had a chance for a better life even if it involved pain, death & violenece.
"Are you hungry Cindy? Cause I was gonna make something to eat."
"Yeah. I may as well eat something. How about some fetticuine?"
"Actually I could go with some pasta."
After they had dinner and a delightful conversation (as usual) they both decided to have an early night. As Cindy climbed into bed she whispered Jimmy's name before falling into her peaceful slumber. She knew it was never meant to be with her & Jimmy but she wasn't at all concerned because she loved her life the way it was now so why bother worrying? With that last thought she decided to rest because tommorrow would be a big day for her.
Because tommorrow would be five years since she left Retroville as Cindy Vortex and five years since became P.S.F.P.U.S.A.'s greatest agent.
End of Chapter 1.
