A/N: Main characters
Albert Neutron: A genius just like his dad. However, unlike Jimmy he has no robotic pet or lab. Physically he looks like his father in terms of hair, stature and eye color, the only exception is his being blond. Because they are so similar, he gets along better with his father, Jimmy, more than his mother
Leonardo (Leo) Neutron: Competitive, with a physique to match, just like his mother. However, unlike his brother who finds his father's inventions "old news" or "old man stuff," he takes a serious interest to everything Jimmy says. He is short and like his brother, has blond hair. Nevertheless, much to his mother's dismay and his father's happiness, he looks like his mother. Due to their similarities, he gets along with his mother, Cindy, more than his father.
Future Jimmy: Jimmy is now a successful scientist and is deservingly the host of Cosmos: A Space Odyssey. Despite making plenty of money, he enjoys the simplicity of living in Retroville with his family. Physically, he is still short, the only real changes are his constant use of suits, his trademark swirl is slightly lower on his head and a leather watch replaced his gadget one. In an odd turn of events, he developed a craving for pie and when he thinks nobody's looking he buys a few duck decoys and keeps a collection of them in the lab. Some obsessions are genetic, huh?
Future Cindy: Cindy is now a full time fifth grade teacher at Willoughby Elementary School (Lindbergh changed names in memoriam of their beloved principal). She is slightly taller than her husband and now wears her hair down. Despite still having an ego, she learned a lot from Judy Neutron, and is calmer, however, when her husband does something to annoy her, she completely loses it.
Future Carl: Despite being a successful llama breeder in Lima, Peru, he often visits Retroville and is the favorite uncle of both the Neutron and Estevez children.
Maria Estevez: Music loving and Ultra Lord obsessed, Maria takes after her mother's personality and good looks. However, she did inherit of Sheen's quirks.
Johnny Estevez: two words; mini Sheen. He is just like his father, hyper, goofy and yet caring.
Future Libby: Successful hip hop artist and fashion designer. She is a caring, but tough lover who insists that her children do well in school. Some say she is the reason why Johnny is so smart, however, it's likely that Uncle Jimmy had something to do with it.
Future Sheen: Now a hard working car mechanic, he is not as energetic as before, and his jokes have greatly improved. He loves all of his kids and often gets them whatever they want. Point is, if the Neutron's ever need a babysitter they send the kids straight to Sheen.
The Neutron Family
"Boys! Breakfast is ready!" A happy voice yelled from the kitchen. James Neutron is the first to answer the call. He is dressed in a white cotton crew shirt with pyjama bottoms and his usual leather wrist watch.
"Morning Cin, sleep well?" Jimmy inquired, pecking his wife on the cheek before sitting down at the breakfast table.
"Yeah, you did snore a little bit though," She said, her voice still upbeat.
"Oh dear, I really am aging aren't I?" He said with a worried expression. During their conversation, Goddard walked in unnoticed.
"Hey boy, how are ya?" Jimmy asked, stroking his beloved pet behind the ears.
"Bark, bark!" Goddard answered.
"Fetch the paper will you boy, i'm sick of having Butch's kid throwing it through the window. Always obedient, Goddard slowly trotted outside and collected the paper, earning a lug nut and a pat on the head from his master.
"Oh honey, you really should tell Butch what his kid is doing. After all, Butch is a parent now and will probably do whats right." Cindy lectured
Jimmy put down his round reading glasses and said ,"Cin, this is Butch we're talking about, you know, the same Butch who punched the mail man after he complained about their family's German Shepherd."
"Oh c'mon Jimmy, i'm sure you can both figure this out like men!"
"Honey, to him, dealing with something like a man means mud wresling it naked while eating bacon."
"That's true," she sighed and checked her watch.
"Well, i've gotta get going, call the boys down or they're going to miss the bus again." Cindy said casually
"Ok dear, have a good day at work!" Jimmy replied, not even looking up from the newspaper. After Cindy left the door, he sent Goddard to wake up the boys. Leo came first, running down the stairs seconds later.
"Did we miss the bus dad!" he yelled down.
"Not yet, but hurry!" Jimmy shouted back.
Jimmy smiled to himself as he heard the two boys racing to get ready upstairs.
"Dad, shoebot broke down again, can you fix him?" Leo asked his father on his way out the front door.
"I don't know if I can today, but i'll try! Oh, and don't forget to say hi to Ms. Fowl for me!"
"But dad! It's only the first day!" Leo whined
"No buts mr! And don't worry, I'm sure Ms. Fowl will simply adore you."
"Ok dad, the bus is here, see you at dinner!"
"Bye son!"
Leo walked on to the bus and it sped off into the distance.
"Albert, get down here!" Jimmy shouted at his other son, who was still getting ready.
"Coming!" His son yelled back, rushing down the stairs.
"You already missed the bus, i'm gonna have to drive you to school," Jimmy explained in an annoyed tone.
"Sorry father, but I need something for show and tell and I don't know what to bring."
At the mention of show and tell, Jimmy's face lit up at the fond memories.
"Tell ya what son, how about you bring Goddard for this one, knowing your mother, she'll probably let you take him in." Jimmy offered.
"Really!, thanks dad!" Albert smiled, hugging his father.
"Don't mention it son, let me get dressed and we'll get going." Jimmy responded with an ear to ear grin.
"Come here Goddard!" Leo called out.
"Bark bark!" Goddard replied, walking into the garage where a Tesla sports car was waiting for them.
After letting Goddard into the backseat, Albert hopped in shotgun and waited for his dad. Jimmy walked into the garage wearing a navy blue blazer, matching pants and a white shirt with the top unbuttoned.
"Alright, let's be off" he said, and they sped off to Willoughby Elementary School.
-Meanwhile, At The School Auditorium-
"Hello students bwabwaark settle down, I know you're all excited erlll." Ms. Fowl called out to the auditorium packed with students and teachers.
"Now, as some of you may know, I'm your principal, Ms. Fowl. I was a teacher at this very school for thirty years before taking over for the late Principal Willoughby. I taught many notable students including Nicholas Dean the action star, Libby Folfax the pop singer, one of our very own fifth grade teachers, Mrs. Cindy Neutron, and perhaps most famously her husband, Jimmy Neutron, the host of Cosmos."
Upon hearing the names of celebrities, excited whispers oozed from the crowd.
"If any of you would like to hear any of the old stories, i'm always available in my office and i'm sure Mrs. Neutron has quite a few to share as well. Anyway, you all should be getting to class now, so I would love it if you all could go to your teachers and await their instructions."
"Okay kids, line up single file behind me," Cindy called out to her class. Leo is here but where's Albert?" Cindy thought to herself. "Ok class, we're going to head to the classroom where we'll all introduce ourselves and start organizing notebooks.
-School Office-
Jimmy, Albert and Goddard walked through the front door and into the office to get a late slip. "State your name and your reason for being late please," the grouchy secretary said in her usual raspy voice.
"Albert Neutron, I...uh... slept in," Albert said sheepishly.
"Who dropped you in today?"
"My father," Albert explained, glancing at his dad.
"And who is your father?"
"James Neutron," his dad answered for him
"Bawwwwk! Is that you Jimmy Neutron!" A voice called out from the hallway.
"Yes Ms. Fowl!" Jimmy yelled back, grinning.
"Your creative writing assignment is twenty seven years overdue!" Ms. Fowl scolded while walking into the office.
Jimmy rubbed the back of his neck and grinned sheepishly upon hearing this.
"But for hosting a great TV show and having a handsome son you've more than made up for it!" She reassured him, turning her attention to Albert.
"Bwaak, what's your name young man?"
"I'm Albert ma'am, Albert Neutron."
"Well Albert, you are one handsome and respectful young man, just like your father was when he was here."
"Thanks Principal Fowl!"
"Of course, you better be off to class, your father and I have some catching up to do!"
"Ok, great to meet you Ms. Fowl, bye dad!" He said before hurrying off with Goddard scampering behind him.
"Bye son!" Jimmy replied, smiling.
"They are your pride and joy, I can tell." Ms. Fowl said
"They really are, who would've imagined it all, me and Cindy." Jimmy exclaimed nostalgically
"Nearly everyone Jimmy,"
"I suppose so," he said, shaking his head slightly.
"Listen Jimmy, so many students love your show, why don't you participate in any school events, you know, talk with the kids?" Ms. Fowl suggested
"I don't know if my kids want that, they've already have to deal with people asking me for my autograph in public, it kinda annoys them."
"Oh, so you don't enjoy fame?"
"Not really, not when it gets in the way of family time."
"I see."
"So, who are the troublemakers in Cindy's class gonna be this year?" Jimmy inquired, breaking a short pause.
"Bwaaak, probably Johnny Estevez, Slick Dean, and Freddy Jones."
"Ugh, Butch's kid, I feel bad for Cindy."
"You know Freddy?" Ms. Fowl asked.
"Yeah, he always throws the newspaper through the window, or at me in the morning."
"He doesn't have a big target does he Jimmy?" Ms. Fowl joked while laughing quietly
"Hey!" Ms. Fowl just kept laughing at his fake whiney attitude
"So anyway, did Nick really name his kid Slick?" Jimmy asked
"Yes, he said something about raising his son to be like his father"
"That kid is probably an angel," Jimmy sarcastically joked.
"Yes, quite," Ms. Fowl replied with a smile.
"Well, it was great to see you Ms. Fowl, but i've gotta blast." Jimmy abruptly said after looking at his watch
"Oh my, some things about you haven't changed a bit," Ms. Fowl said while waving.
Jimmy grinned and waved back as he walked out of the office.
-Cindy's Classroom-
Ok students, as you all know, i'm Mrs. Neutron." Cindy said, writing her name on the board.
"If you have trouble saying that, you can call me Mrs. N. If for any reason my husband comes into class, you can call him Mr. Nerdtron or Captain Fudge Head." She added, earning an uproar of giggles from her class. "Now I would like all of you to introduce yourselves up here, so I can learn a bit about yo-"
"Sorry i'm late mom, I've got a pass!" Albert said as he and Goddard barged in the classroom
"Albert Neutron! What did I say about being late. And why on earth is Goddard with you?"
"He's my show and tell mom!" He explained, satisfied from the awe-stricken looks that many of his classmates had on their faces
"Alright then, have a seat," Cindy said with a sigh.
"Ok, first up is Slick Dean." A dreamy sigh came from the females in the class, except for Maria Estevez.
"Ok Slick, tell us a bit about yourself," Cindy said, pretending to care.
"Gladly Mrs. N," he said while getting on stage.
"I'm Slick, I am by far the coolest person in here and my dad is Nick Dean, the BEST televison personality of the decade," he said, looking not-so discreetly at Leo and Albert. Boy, ten seconds in and the kid is already getting under Cindy's skin, but she decided to ignore it.
"That was….. very interesting Slick, next up we have Albert Neutron."
"Thanks mom," Albert said while going to the front of the classroom.
"I'm Albert Neutron, I have an IQ of one hundred ninety three. As you know, my mom is a teacher and MY dad is the best television personality of the decade."
"Oh I beg to differ Neutron!" Slick exclaimed, getting up from his chair.
"OK, lets move on to show and tell," Cindy quickly said for the conflict to end. Slick just shrugged and kicked his feet up
