A/N Okay this is my first Jimmy Neutron fan fiction and honestly, this was originally written to be a normal fiction, rewritten and altered to suit them.
I will accept critiques and if it's horrible, tell me but tell me why it's horrible…I won't accept pointless flames that don't tell me anything except it sucks. They will be ignored. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

"First the blue caps will be thrown, and then soon will come the black." A girl's voice rang throughout the high school gym. She paused, her blonde hair falling into her eye. There were eight hundred eyes of her peers looking directly at her and nowhere else; the words she had memorized didn't seem to fit right anymore. The pause was beginning to become an uncomfortable silence. She had to say something. "It seems like we've been through it all." Where did that come from? She didn't know but she went with it anyways. "But we haven't, the honest truth is that there's still a whole world out there for us to see. There's a life time of tragedies and disappointments but there's also that same lifetime of happiness and treasures awaiting us." She forced a smile and stood up straight. "This is just the first stepping stone in our lives, Class of 2009, we did it!" Once again she looked around the room at all the people she may never see again, and all the ones who didn't know it.
Chapter One
Five years later
At age twenty three Cynthia Vortex was a fresh young law attorney out of Harvard University but now she was fast asleep at her desk. Her cheeks rubbed against her keyboard as her arms attempted to give a pillow. Papers had been pushed off the sides of the desk and what had not been pushed off was scattered and piled around the laptop.
She jumped awake at a loud ringing. Slowly she looked around to where it was coming from. More papers were thrown off the desk only for her to discover the cell phone in her pocket. She opened it quickly and in the most solid voice she could give "Cynthia Vortex, Attorney at Law." "Cin? Where are you?" She furrowed her eye brows. "Mason?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. "Yea baby, where are you? I've been trying to call you all night." All night but it's only…that's when she saw the clock changing to 3:57 am. Great… "Baby? Are you there?" She could hear on the other end."Yea, I'm at the office, I'll be home soon." She said and hung up the phone not waiting for a goodbye. She stood up and picked up the brief case next to her desk. Picking up each piece of paper she dreaded having to reorganize the two cases over again. She unplugged her laptop and shut down, placing it in its bag.
Stepping outside the streets was filled with cars and people walking. She'd been here a year, why hadn't she gotten used to people being out and about at four in the morning? Calling a taxi she slipped inside the backseat. "Stone Street Apartments" She told the driver. After a half hour of driving she was finally standing outside her apartment. Opening the door, she suddenly had a man's arms around her. He was tall, his black hair was cut short, his chest and stomach were slightly toned and he had the brightest blue eyes she'd ever seen. "You need to stop falling asleep at your desk baby, you know I worry." He said, and she could tell he hadn't slept very much last night.
Cindy smiled at him sweetie and put her things down by the door and closed it behind her. "I'll make it up to you, I promise" She whispered, kissing him. "But you're going to have to wait until tonight." He let out a laugh as he watched her walk all the day to bedroom before running behind her.
Libby ran around the kitchen. There were waffles on the iron beginning to burn; bacon on the skillet getting too crispy, the coffee didn't taste right. "Why isn't she answering the phone?" She screamed and Sheen raised an eyebrow at her. "Who?" She stared at him for a second. "Abbey, who else? And why isn't Jimmy awake?" She let out a frustrated "Augh" sound. "I'll go get him up." He said and headed towards his roommate's room.
James woke to the light shinning in his windows; the light glanced across the room. He sat up and he could feel something else move beside him. He looked down and smiled at the brunette repositioning herself against him in her sleep. "Abbey." He whispered and there was a sudden knock on the door before it opened. A Hispanic boy came walking in, one hand covering his eyes. "Is it safe to look?" He said a little too loudly and Abbey sat up straight, scared awake. "Sheen!" James gave him a look and sheen uncovered his face. He laughed slightly. "I knew I heard noises last night." He said Abbey, now aware she was naked, pulled the blankets up to her chest. "I doubt your fiancé would like to hear you've been looking at other women." She said with a smirk and his smile disappeared.
"Anyways." He started again, his eyes adverting around the room. "It's almost noon you two, time to get up and get ready Libby's parents are coming over in an hour for Lunch-fast!" Abbey and James look at each other for a second. "You mean brunch?" He asked. "Yea that and Libby's going crazy." And with that he closed the door and left. James turned towards Abbey with a wicked smile. "Now that's he's gone…" She giggled and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You heard him, we have an hour to get dress and help cook." She pulled away from him and stepped out of the bed. "However, I do have to take a shower…" She said and he watched her but it wasn't until he noticed she'd left the door open that he understood.
Sheen walked back into the kitchen. "I found her." He said, laughing slightly. "Who?" Libby paused for a second. "Abbey?" Sheen smiled widely. "Yup, in bed with Jimmy." She rolled her eyes and relaxed slightly. "I'll rip her a new one for that later, right now she needs to help me save my brunch." She looked at the clock and then at herself. She was wearing her robe, her hair was a mess. "I still need to get ready. My parents are never late." Sheen walked over to her and put his hands on her should. "Take a deep breath baby." He said and after he did so he kissed her. "You go get ready. We'll take care of the rest." Libby nodded and walked into Sheen's room.
By the time Abbey and James walked into the kitchen, Sheen had almost cleaned up what wasn't needed, scrapped the brunt waffle off and saved the bacon. Abbey grabbed the bowl with waffle mix and poured it onto the iron. "Why are we having the brunch here?" she asked. James came up behind her. "Libby's parents still don't approve of Sheen." He whispered in her ear. "She wants to show them he's been able to support himself and will be able to support her." Abbey nodded. "Then we better get this brunch perfect."
Cindy sat back at her desk. The papers had finally been organized into two different stacks and right now she up on her laptop trying to find out the best way to put her closing argument. It'll be over soon..She told herself. The man had been accusing of stabbing his wife and kids. The two young children were in the hospital, with no memory of what happened, that or they were too scared to talk. The wife however had been the one to point the finger at him, saying when she'd told him she was leaving him and taking the children. This was only her third case and it was her first one this intense. Was it wrong to say she wasn't sure weither her client was telling her the truth or not? If he belonged in jail or not? And yet she still tried to help the man keeps his freedom? She sighed. She needed a break. It was a little past noon, she'd go home for lunch and surprise Mason.
When she arrived at the door the mail was already stuffed half way under the door. She unlocked the door and grabbed the mail. "Junk mail, junk mail, magazine, junk mail..oh what's this?" There was a letters addressed just to her.
Cynthia Vortex
It's been five long years since the class of 2009 threw their caps!
Come celebrate with us, at RetroVille High School, June 18th at 5pm!
Uh huh, like I'm going to that. I left and didn't tell anyone. She put the letter down on the counter and looked around for Mason. He wasn't in his office, he wasn't in the living room or kitchen. She opened the door to the bedroom and peaked in. There was Mason, but he wasn't alone. Cindy gasped at the sight of Mason naked on top of another girl.
Mason turned his head towards the noise and seeing Cindy run the other way he jumped off the bed. "Cin, baby." He started. "It was nothing." She glared at him. "Don't baby me, if it was nothing, why do it at all?" "Because you're never home! You're obsessed with your work! I accepted that at first, told you to share the office with me but no!" His voice had begun to raise, apparently this had been bottled up for a while. "You wanted to keep your work life and your home life separate! Well guess what? You have no home life! I don't even feel as if we're in a relationship anymore?" Cindy face was no longer mad but hurt, because she knew this was the truth. He softened. "I'm sorry baby." He said but cindy didn't look at him. "Just go Mason." She waved him off. "Get your stuff and go." Mason nodded.
A few hours later Mason was gone. He had agreed to stay with a friend until everything was worked out on what would happen next. Cindy sighed as she leaned against the kitchen counter. "I've got to go on a vacation." She said to herself and looked down at the pile of mail and the open letter of her high school's five year reunion. She picked it up. "I guess I could go"
