I do not own anything Jimmy Neutron related. Only the story line.

Chapter One

Cindy's POV-

"Remind me again why I'm sitting in Neutron's lab, Libby?" Cindy said as she sat, waiting for Jimmy to bring her and Libby his newest experiment. It was a Thursday afternoon, and Cindy and Libby were waiting for Jimmy to come out of another room. Cindy looked around the room they were in and had a slight flashback to their younger years. Jimmy's lab hadn't changed all that much, although his lab was more fit for a teen genius than it had been 7 years ago. In all actuality, Cindy knew why she was in the lab. However, she didn't know why Jimmy had chosen her and Libby. Usually, he had Carl and Sheen, his two best friends, to act as his lab rats. But this time, he had asked for Libby and Cindy.

Over the years, the three boys had changed. Carl had outgrown most of his allergies and traded his glasses for contacts. He had also slimmed and shot up to a whopping 5'11". His hair had even changed to match the young man, styled into a slightly shaggy yet tame look. Sheen hadn't changed much, but had gotten taller, towering over everyone at 6'3". His love of UltraLord hadn't altered, but he didn't obsess like he had when he was younger. Cindy guessed it was because of his trip to Planet Zeenu, wherever that was. Sheen was different after that trip. Still crazy, but he was able to calm down at the right times. Jimmy had found him and brought him back to Earth about a year after he had accidentally blasted off in the extra rocket Jimmy kept under his lab. Speaking of Jimmy, he had changed the most. He had finally grown into his big head, and had redone his signature hairstyle, switching from the shape of swirled ice cream into an age appropriate front faux-hawk. His body had caught up to him, and he now towered over Cindy at 6'1". He had even started working out to tone his body, and it showed.

Before Libby could respond, Jimmy entered the room. "Thank you for your cooperation, ladies. Now, here's the deal. I need you to drink this, and then I will ask you a series of questions," said Jimmy, handing each of the two girls a test tube halfway full of a blue liquid. He grabbed a clipboard from his desk and began writing.

Cindy looked at the blue liquid with distaste, and glanced back at Jimmy. "What is this stuff, Neutron? It looks like a blueberry vomited into a test tube! And why haven't you told us what your experiment is?"

"Don't worry Cindy. I promise, it's completely stable. I tested it on Carl and Sheen before giving it to you two. I just needed a final test subject to make sure it is complete. All you need to do is drink the liquid."

"Alright Nerdtron. But if something happens-"

"I know, I know. You'll turn my face into a punching bag. I've heard it all, Cindy. Now," Said Jimmy, gesturing to the test tube that each girl was eyeing, "Drink the liquid. Please." He added.

Although Cindy was wary of the experiment, she drank the liquid in two gulps. It tasted nasty, causing Cindy to make a face. She looked over and saw Libby making the same face.

"This tastes worse than Sam's Salmon Fruit Smoothie!"

Jimmy chuckled. "I apologize for the taste." He looked back at his clipboard. "That wasn't the experiment though. As I said before, I need you to answer these series of random questions. However, I want you to lie about the answer. First question. Libby, how are you feeling?"

"Whatever. Well, I'm super excited, but other than that, pretty normal." Libby said, with obvious vigor in her voice. She started at her words. "That wasn't want I was going to say! What's going on?"

"I'll explain in just a moment. Now, next question Libby. What is causing you to be excited?"

"Sheen asked me out just this morning. I've been waiting for him to ask me ever since he asked me to be his valentine in the 6th grade." Libby looked bewildered as she continued talking. "Why can't I stop myself from talking? And why am I not lying? Jimmy, you'd better have a good explanation for this!"

Jimmy was writing on his clipboard, but stopped as Libby shared her most recent bit of information. "Sheen asked you out?" Jimmy grinned. "It's about time! He's been wanting to ever since the love potion incident. Sounds like the both of you have been waiting for quite some time. Oh well. I guess better late than never. Now, where was I? Oh yes. Third question Libby…"

Cindy sighed. She had known about Sheen asking Libby to the Halloween Festival, but that was supposed to be a secret. Leave it to Jimmy Neutron to uncover the private aspects of Libby's dating life. At least she had a dating life. Cindy, on the other hand, was a girl who just couldn't find a guy. Oh, she tried, but none of the guys she went out with ever had a second date. None of them could ever take her intensity. All except one guy, but he ended up being stupid, as well as from a different universe. Although, if she thought hard enough, there was…

"Cindy, you're up. First question. What was your outfit for almost every day of the 4th grade?"

"Huh? Oh, right. It was a green tank top and capris, with a ponytail and a pink hairband." She had screwed up her face as she tried her hardest to lie. "I agree with Libby by the way. I want to know why I am not lying like I was trying to."

Jimmy ignored her question, and continued with the experiment. A few minutes later, and he had still not answered either of their questions, yet continued to pester them with as many as he could think of.

He looked over his clipboard one last time. "Okay Cindy, I just have two more questions." He looked at Cindy.

Finally! Then she could get back to her World History AP homework. When Mrs. Sanders gave out homework, she did it with an iron fist. "Better get on with it, Neutron. I have a lot of homework to do tonight."

"Don't worry, these are simple questions. Now, answer this, and work as hard as you can to lie. Ready?"

"Go for it."

"If you had to spend the rest of your life with someone on an uncharted island that wasn't in your family, who would it be?"

Cindy froze at that question. Instantly she was taken back to when she was 11 years old, and a certain boy genius had taken her and their friends to the equator.

"That is the most ludicrous I've ever heard-"

"Well, nobody cares what you think, Neutron! Besides-"

"I do too-"

"I'm telling you, you can see it!"

"No you can't!"

"Yes you can!"

"Hey!" yelled Butch, interrupting Jimmy and Cindy's daily spat. "Would you keep it down? I'm teaching future bullies over here!

Today's argument was whether or not the equator could actually be seen.

"Now, I'm telling you that you can't see the equator!" Jimmy shouted.

"Just in unpopulated areas, like the Pacific Ocean" counteracted Cindy.

"Wrong! The equator is invisible, and apparently so is your brain!"

"Well, at least my head doesn't need it's own time zone!"

"Why do you have to go there? What-what- what were we talking about?"

"Because it's funny, you know it is!"

"We're talking about the equator-"

Jimmy and Cindy continued arguing, not even noticing that they had gone back to trying to out shout the other.

"I'm telling you you can see the equator in the Pacific Ocean!"

"No you can't! But I guess I'll just have to take you there to prove it."

"To the hovercar!" Sheen shouted excitedly. The others looked at him with confusion. "What?" He asked. "I'm helping."

They all jumped in the hovercar and Jimmy started it up. As they left the schoolyard, Cindy eyed Jimmy, knowing she was right.

"Now, I only have enough fun fuel for a few hours, so we'll have to keep the humiliation short," he said, glaring at Cindy.

"Okay, I'll just demand an apology instead of a full on grovel." Cindy said, marking at Jimmy.

"Yea, okay, I meant your humiliation." Jimmy shot back.

"Ha-ha, not after I prove you wrong!"

"Oh, we will see about that!"

The pair continued to fight the whole ride to the equator, each trying to up the other.

"There. The exact coordinates of the equator. There's nothing down there, can we go now?" Jimmy said sarcastically.

"Okay, wait. Um, I think there's something over there." Cindy replied, unsure of herself.

"Yea right. Give it up," said Jimmy, fully confident of his success.

"Well what's the matter? Afraid to look and see that I'm right?" shot Cindy.

"Fine, let me put on the autopilot." Jimmy said. The gang had just arrived at the equator, and Cindy was trying to prove to Jimmy that the equator really was visible in unpopulated areas. As he rolled his eyes and pushed the green "on" button, he turned to face the area that she was pointing to. "Okay, where?"

"Right there."

"That's the sun's reflection!"

"No, not there, move your head! It's casting a shadow."

"Careful, you guys," said Libby, leaning on the opposite side of the hovercar, trying to make sure they didn't tip over the side.

"That's a school of tuna." said Jimmy, glaring at Cindy as the hovercar continued to tip.

"No, not there. There!" argued Cindy.

"Where?" questioned Jimmy.

"Right over there!" Cindy felt her hands slipping as she leaned for the final time, and realized that she was going over the edge of the hovercar. "Wha-woah!" she screamed, just as she felt a hand grab hers. She heard her friends gasp as she glanced down at the water that was speeding under them. She looked back up to see who her savior was, and saw Jimmy, who was holding onto the side of the hovercar and hanging on with all the strength he could muster, working to pull her back up. His face was contorted with concentration, and Cindy knew, without a doubt, that he would not let go of her, but she didn't know how much longer he could hold on to the hovercar. Jimmy tried once to pull her up, but his hand slipped off the dashboard, and they both plummeted toward the water, screaming. Cindy saw her best friend looking down at her in fear and horror just as she and Jimmy hit the water.

As they came back up, Cindy heard Libby shout, "Sheen! Stop the hovercar!" She heard more commotion, and saw Carl jump on the side of the flying car.

"I'll save you, guys!" Carl started to say, but then he started to sway, and proceeded to fall backwards, back into his seat. There was more commotion, and then Libby shouted down to them.

"Guys! Follow the sound of my voice! You can't stop the funk! Your momma can't stop the funk, ah ah! Your brother can't stop the funk…" But after that, Libby's voice was just a memory. They couldn't hear anything except their hearts pounding in their chests. Cindy looked at Jimmy, and saw he was looking back at her. What were they going to do?

—

Cindy's thoughts jumped back to the present as she realized Jimmy and Libby were staring at her, waiting for an answer. "Oh, well. I, um, heh, probably would live with…" She started, but then began to realize that it was getting easier to think of a lie, and was able to tell a vague truth. "I'd live there with a guy who has made an impression on me for many years. But I wouldn't except you to know who that is, Neutron."

Jimmy must not have been expecting this answer, because when he looked at her, he looked bewildered. He glanced at his clipboard, and shook his head. "The serum must be wearing off. I'll forgo the last question I had. The experiment was a truth serum, with nanobots that were programmed to ensure you told the truth." he said. Sensing the panic arising in the two girls, he added "Nothing like the ones that terrorized the town years ago. No, those were destroyed, and I redesigned the new nanobots with clear and simple instructions. I designed them in a way similar to Goddard. However, as you can tell, they only seem to be able to ensure about 10 minutes of truth. After that, only vague or hidden truths, can be said. You should be back to your old selves in about 2 minutes." Jimmy lowered his clipboard, and glanced at the girls. "Alright, I think that should do it. Libby, you can go now." Then he looked right at Cindy. "Cindy, could you stay for a couple more minutes?"

Cindy glanced at Libby, who shrugged her shoulders and said "I'll meet you at the Candy Bar when you're done. Besides, I need to talk to Sheen."

Cindy decided it couldn't hurt to stay a bit longer. After all, Jimmy hardly ever wanted to spend time with her, alone. "I'll meet you there Libby." Libby stood up and walked out the sliding metal door. "Alright Neutron, you have my undivided attention."
