I do not own Jimmy Neutron or his friends. I am not making any money or profit off of this. I do own Karla

Marshmellows

Jimmy Neutron, 16, had planned this trip for weeks. He was packed and ready to go three days ago. This morning he woke up in an especially good mood.

It was September and unusually cold. For the 16 year old, this trip was going to be a surprise treat to his best friends. They just didn't know it yet.

Smiling to himself he went downstairs with Goddard, his robotic dog, for breakfast.

"Morning, mom, dad." He said to his parents.

"Jimbo. Big trip today?" Hugh Neutron was petting one of his decoy ducks that Jimmy had gotten on the last school trip.

Jimmy had told his parents about a camping trip, but left out the details. Not that either of them were worried about their boy genius.

"Oh, yes. That's today." Jimmy was trying to hide his excitement.

After his breakfast of eggs, bacon, and pancakes, that his mother made so he could keep up his energy, he was off to his lab.

He had long since gotten rid of the dna scanner, and replaced it with a keypad that each of his friends had a special different code to.

"Okay, Goddard, you pack up the hoover car, and I'll get ahold of everyone." Jimmy and Goddard had packed everything into the lab the last few days and it was now time.

Libby woke up to her cellphone ringing.

Wondering who it could be, she rolled over and picked it up off of her desk.

"Hello?" she asked groggily into it.

"Libby? Its Jimmy. I was thinking about going on a trip just the six of us." Jimmy was interrupted by a bark from Goddard. "Okay boy. The seven of us."

"Jimmy, its 6 in the morning. Call me back in like five hours." Libby hung up the phone.

"That's odd, usually she jumps at the chance to get up and be with Sheen. Lets try Sheen, Goddard." Jimmy called each of his friends and got the same response from all of them.

"Guess that leaves Miss Vortex." Goddard flashed across his screen.

"Guess so boy. Wish me luck." Jimmy picked up his cell phone and dialed Cindy's number.

"Neutron, why are you calling me?" Cindy sounded offended.

"Well, I thought since we were successful the last mission we had I would treat you all to camping. Do you want to come? Please say you will. Everyone else is sleeping." Jimmy started rambling now.

"What did you expect at 6:30 am? How about this? Ill get Libby and Karla and we'll meet at your lab at 9. Then you can drag us off camping. But, Neutron, if anything goes wrong, and I mean ANYTHING, I will hurt you. Got it?"

Jimmy chuckled and agreed that at 9 they would leave the lab.

He called Carl and Sheen and left them messages on their machines hoping they would get them in time.

"Well, Goddard, looks like everything is in order. Lets run over the list again."Jimmy asked his robotic dog friend to go over the list.

An extensive, carefully planned list flashed on Goddard's screen.

"Blankets-yes, rain coats-yes, marshmellows-ye...Marshmellows, Goddard?" Jimmy was confused.

"Yes, marshmellows. Everyone needs marshmellows on a camping trip." Goddard flashed.

"Maybe I can call Cindy, and have her bring some." Jimmy started running options in his head and checking the clock.

Picking up his phone, he dialed Cindy's number, once again.

"I forgot marshmellows, Cindy. Can you run and get some for us?" Jimmy asked.

Cindy was taken aback. "For, us, Jimmy?" She barely had the breath to ask.

Cindy had been hard core crushing on Jimmy for the last year and thought this was the oppertunity of a lifetime. That he was thinking of just the two of them.

"Yes, for the group, Cindy. Hey Cindy, are you still there?" Jimmy continued to call out for Cindy.

Shaking off the shock, Cindy answered, "Oh, yes. Marshmellows. For the group. I'll call Libs and have her pick some up before coming over."

"Thanks, Cind! You rock!" Jimmy said excitedly and hung up the phone.

Cindy looked at her phone and listened to the dial tone.

It hit Cindy as she flipped her phone closed, just what Jimmy had said.

"Maybe he feels the same for me..." Cindy figured to herself.

Jimmy made the final check to the list and checked the time.

"She probably has it figured out by now." Jimmy thought.
