Chapter One: Love

It was a clear night in Retroville, Texas and a couple was enjoying a romantic evening in the park.

"We've been dating for about six months now, and I want you to know that I love you." Said an attractive blond teenager.

"I know Cin you tell me that every time I'm alone with you, I love you too y'know." Replied the boy teen, faking exasperation, but loving the beautiful, melodious sound of her voice.

"And I was wondering…"

"If I wanted to go to that new movie with you Friday night." Jimmy Neutron interjected.

"How did you know that?" Asked an exasperated Cindy Vortex.

"Well…okay Sheen said that Libby had been talking to you about it for like a week.

"Okay, so that is what I wanted to ask you…you will come right?"

"Sure Cind…I wouldn't miss it for the world." And with that, he leaned closer to her and kissed right there in the park. He felt elation fill him to feel her start to passionately kiss him back. All of a sudden, time stood still as a feeling of bliss coursed through his body and for two of the most wonderful minutes of his life, everything was perfect in the world and if Jimmy had known that this may be his last kiss with the beautiful Cynthia Aurora Vortex, his secret crush since he was ten, the women that he loved more than life itself, the girl that he was thrilled to call his girlfriend. If he had known that he might not kiss the young woman who was the love of his life for another month maybe even another year, he would have never let her go, but alas, fate has a cruel way of interrupting such worldly perfection, and in this case the interruption came in the form of one of his best friends in the world.

"JIMMY WHERE ARE YOU, JIMMY!" Jimmy sighed as they broke apart, what is it Carl, I'm kind of in the middle of something here?

"Jimmy (pants) I've been looking all over for you (pant) I can't find Libby anywhere, I picked up Sheen from the shop in my car and when I brought him to Libby's house she wasn't there, and I looked everywhere for her…" Panted an older Carl Wheezer.
