Chapter 1: Lost Friends

2 hours after Sheen and Carl flew into outer space, Jimmy was searching across town to find his closest friends. After a while, Jimmy walked back into his lab to see what happened. What he didn't expect was that his rocket was missing two.

Jimmy: Great. Now my rocket's missing... Wait... I've written warnings... That wasn't enough. I gotta find them. VOX! Can you track the rocket anywhere?

VOX: Unable to search for rocket. Out of 2 billion light year perimeter.

Jimmy usually didn't cry, but this was one of a few exceptions when tears would fall one-by-one.

Jimmy: I can't believe I lost my closest friends. I tried to warn them... VOX. Show feed of the lab in the past 5 hours.

The screen came up showing Carl and Sheen in his lab.

Sheen: Hey Jimmy! You here? I think I left my "Golden Ultra Lord" card. Oh, there it is!

Sheen picks up the card, and notices a big, blue blanket.

Sheen: Ooh, what's that?

Carl: I don't think we should-

Sheen walks towards the blanket and sees a note. Carl reluctantly follows.

Sheen: Do NOT Look Under This Blanket! J.N.

Carl: Why does that sound familiar?

They uncover the blanket and under the blanket is a rocket. Sheen climbs up a ladder and notices another note.

Sheen: Do NOT get into this rocket! J.N. Jimmy Neutron! Someone named J.N. is putting all these notes in your lab!

Carl: I still don't think we should go in that rocket.

Sheen: Come on Carl. Where's your sense of adventure?

Sheen drags Carl into the rocket and sees another note.

Sheen: Do NOT Push This Button. J.N.

Carl: I'm starting to think that J.N. is-

Sheen throws the note out.

Sheen: Don't push what button? There's so many!

Carl: Sheen don't! I think J.N. is Jimmy Neutron!

Sheen presses many buttons while Carl is talking.

Sheen: No, No, No, Not that one, no.

Sheen presses a button and activates the rocket.

Carl: Sheen!

Sheen: Oops.

The rocket flies out of the screen.

Jimmy: I'll save them no matter what.

Jimmy walks over to the space car (the one from Win Lose Kaboom) and opens the door to walk in. Goddard weeps.

Jimmy: I need you to protect the lab for me. I'll be back soon.

Cindy: Do you really think that entering a rocket into space alone is gonna find the two Neutron?

Jimmy is surprised to see Cindy standing a few feet behind him. in her usual arms crossed pose.

Jimmy: Cindy? How long have you been standing there, and how did you know that Carl and Sheen were missing?

Cindy: I've been here long enough to know of what's happening. You're not going up there.

Jimmy: I've noted your opinion, but I'm going alone. You can't change my opinion.

Cindy: Fine you're going, but you're not going alone. I'm going with you wether you like it or not.

Jimmy: I've made up my mind, and I'm sticking to it. You're not coming with me.

Cindy forces her way into the car. She wasn't going to give up that quickly.

Jimmy: Get out of my car Vortex. You're not coming.

Cindy: I'm coming with you no matter what Nerdtron! You can't make me do anything.

Jimmy: I'VE ALREADY LOST TWO OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS TODAY! I CAN'T RISK LOSING YOU! ...I hate to admit this, but I care about you... a lot. I just don't want to lose you to. If I go alone and I die, it'll be just me. If you come, and die with me then that'll be another death I'm responsible for.

Cindy was rather touched by this as it is rare that either one of them even partially opened their hearts for each other.

Cindy: Jimmy. That's not going to happen to us. Not when we work together. I've made my decision to go with you, because I... care about you too and I don't wanna lose you either. You're also leaving too soon without a plan. We don't even know where they are, nor do we have everything we need. So what do you say Jimmy? Let's get packing and planning first.

Cindy is holding her hand out to Jimmy. After a few seconds, Jimmy takes her hand.

Jimmy: ...Alright. You can come with me. I just don't want the worst to happen.

Cindy: You don't have to worry about that. Besides, I'm a good fighter. Let's get the things we need.

The two of them head out of the lab and into his backyard.

Jimmy: Oh and Cindy.

Cindy: What is it?

Jimmy suddenly hugs Cindy taking her by surprise.

Jimmy: Thanks for coming with me and... I'm...sorry for getting mad earlier.

Cindy: It's okay, since I know how much you miss your friends, and we may be rivals, but I'm here for you no matter what.
