Before you start reading let be begin by saying there is an apology to any reader for the previous chapter at the end of this one, and I do not own the rights to Jimmy Neutron.

BEACHED:

Dear Journal,

It is June 3rd , 2018. The location is on a beautiful tropical island near the equator. I have decided to write in a journal to both collect my thoughts and to reflect on what has become of my life thus far. I am using only a pencil and paper that I recycled using old fallen trees in the area. It is a way to escape from computer screens and keyboards.

Journal entry: #1,

Today I found myself sitting on the beach looking out toward the ocean. I watched as the sun slowly drifted away. Watched as it got darker and many bright warm colors appear to say Hello than goodbye until the next sunset. There have been many sunsets before this one. I have I chosen to watch this particular one while I narrate my first journal writing to give any possible reader a scenic picture though vague it might be. When I first got here I would love to sit and wiggle My toes in the cold wet sands with the water rushing to get passed me and I'd watch as the sun would lower into the horizon. There wasn't much else to do before we were rescued. Except for running away from a ten-foot tarantula that I shrunk down to a less menacing six-inch tarantula.

The only sounds I would hear were the caw of the gulls and the waves hitting the rocks. Those things were good to hear. A little bit more relaxing than having to deal with the way only rural areas can lead their daily lives. As it got darker it was a tranquil island, and it became a great place to spend a worry free vacation away from technology used to better Human kind. Sometimes even the greatest scientists need to relax.

The sunsets at this beach are great to see all the time because each one has a different individual beauty to call their own, and I couldn't see the stars very well in the city, at least not with out a scientific approach and the use of a telescope. There have been many sunsets before this one and there will be many more. This old beach is my home away from home and I'm not alone. Would you believe Since Cindy and I had discovered this Island we now privately own it. I leave a life of science and technology every summer to be with the one I love on this Island. That's right I said it I love her, I love Cindy. We both leave the hustle and bustle of life just to make our relationship a stronger bond. Being here has brought our feelings to the surface. It has been ten years since we started coming here for our summer vacations. It is unfortunately very hard for just the two of us to be alone since all our friends and family seem to follow along.

Sheen still is his crazy self. He works as a movie producer, and he's a screenwriter. His latest one 'The walking dead eat coconuts' was a box office hit. I think his inspiration was when he got hit with a coconut will chasing Libby who had one of his prized limited addition Ultra Lord action figures. Of course you could also give credit to Cindy since she was the one who threw it at him. He gets all the credit for having the zombies wear flowers and hula skirts.

Cindy was always good at sports and became one of the best Baseball players in high school Right now she's spending some time at the college with a sports scholarship. She hasn't told me what she's studying yet.

Libby made it big as one of the biggest pop stars when she turned sixteen and now has three songs in the top ten charts. My personal favorite is 'Hear My Heart's Song.' Sheen had directed and played a part in the music video as an individual unaware of her feeling for him, but it is no reflection of their currently thriving relationship.

Carl has become a world-renowned chef. He's famous for his Raspberry Cream pie. And for creating the best diet plan for 'A Longer Life for Lamas.' His many books are Best Sellers in both cooking communities and for lama farmers.

I still have goddered but with a slightly different canine body model. I've gone through a few different types but settled on what I call K9-M436/2. Cindy says he looks like a greyhound. This is an accurate representation.

I found that the sleek form of that species was optimal for speed. Cindy doesn't know that I programmed him to be able to turn into a surfboard with water jet propulsion systems. Hey I can't always stray from technology. Recharging him on the island isn't a big deal even with out today's technology. I just use an old exercise bike and solar panels to keep his batteries at a decent level. The bike was more Cindy's Idea. I am not sure of her reasons.

(Pauses to eat a Fruit Chewy)

Mom and Dad usually stay for a few weeks on the island before going back home. Dad has his own wing in the towns' museum. Filled with you guessed it, ducks. Every species of duck found on earth. Half of it is filled with life-like representations of their habitats while the other half is an interactive center for all ages to learn, study and have fun with ducks.

Mom has recently become a teacher at the college. Helping new parents to find ways to raise and discipline their children, for them to grow in mind and body. She also has written a book on 'how to raise your child to become a genius.' her other book 'How to Prevent Your Young Scientist from making the Toaster into a Window Cleaner' was also a Top Seller.

The world has made several technological advances and discoveries, but not all credit goes to me. We have made contact with various intergalactic Communities whom have help our world to grow.

In the field of medicine we have discovered many cures, unfortunately we have also discovered many diseases. We still haven't discovered the cure for the common cold yet, but we have created several more ways to avoid it. It is especially necessary to prevent a cold when talking with intergalactic foreign dignitaries.One species thinks of a cough or a sneeze as an insult that could ecelate into an all out war, while another thinks of it the way to begin a courtship, ending in Marriage. This rule was especially difficult to uphold during the negotiations for space travel through The Ultorian and Venition territories. We make sure all immunizations are up to date before we even leave port.

I have an excellent career as the director of human and alien resources for T.I.I.I.I. The Intergalactic Institute for Impressionable Intellect It use to stand for International Institute for Impressionable Intelligent Minds I.I.I.I.M. but we changed it to better suit the needs of our new intergalactic friends. As the director I lead a team of both humans and Torins . A very intelligent race, their goal is to find a better atmosphere that is capable for their safe use. As Of now they hover in a Bubble City that floats above the town. It turns out our earth is closer to having the resources necessary for their survival. Their own world was devastated by a severe storm that not only permanently blocked the suns rays, but also caused half of the planet to be unable to sustain life. We are not their only candidates for atmosphere replenishment. There are several other ships locating possible new homes.

End journal entry #1

Okay so I changed my mind this is no longer a One Shot. It was originally left vague and unfinished. It kept eating at me to change its format to better serve its community of readers though small it may be.

This is the second chapter of Beached but it has the same beginning as the first, with a few alterations. If you read past the first chapter that, in my own opinion did not work out

I think you would agree with me the first chapter just reeked of Noob!

I hope this one is to your approval. Opinions are welcome!

I decided to put it in a first person journal entry form.

If I was totally oblivious on any details please review also if I copied something that belongs to another individual. I will do my best to apologize then give credit or ask permission for use.

Note: My sister has been part of this community of creative writers longer than I have so she has informed my the my need for improvement is greatly necessary if I wish to continue with out more harm to my I.Q. level. All I can say is thank god for spell check and books for the beginners' level of writing. I also keep a dictionary near by for spelling purposes and of course it's good at defining these words so as not to put them in the wrong context. I never did pay attention in my English classes.

Please accept my apologies towards those who read the first chapter. I hope if you come back this new one is more to your liking.
