Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron. That belongs to Nickelodeon. Also, I don't own the following song: Just the Girl. That is by The Click Five group. They own the wonderful song that I feel is PERFECT for Jimmy and Cindy.
She is Bitter Sweet
Chapter 1
Jimmy was in his lab listening to the CD his insane Aunt had sent him for his seventeenth birthday. She never could remember when his birthday was and was always sending him presents periodically and she always chose the weirdest of things to send to him. This year it was a boy band CD. The Click Five - Jimmy had never heard of them before and was going to return it to get something that he wanted, but his mother had made him keep it. Why, she had no idea.
So he decided that he would listen to it and he had to admitt it wasn't that bad. Yet, the second song was the one that was playing over and over again because there was something about it that made him think; think about a subject that he had been refusing to think about for many years.
She's cold and she's cruel, but she knows what she's doing
Yeah, that was her. She was cold and cruel and he had to admitt that she always knew what she was doing - to him. He figured that she took pleasure in that fact.
She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion.
She laughs at my dreams, but I dream about her laughter
Yeah she was always laughing at him and telling him that his inventions wouldn't work. Sure, they had glitches, but that was what science was all about!
Strange as it seems, she's the one I'm after
That line alone struck at Jimmy. She was the one that he had been after since he first moved into Retroville.
Cuz she's bitter sweet she knocks me off of my feet
and I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery, she's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
She really was bitter sweet. He loved her fire, her anger, her passion. Yet, he loved it when he got to see those rare moments when she'd let down that guard, that mask that she showed to the world. It was then that he would once again fall in love with her. After all these years he knew that he was still finding out who she was and he just wanted to continue learning.
She can't keep a secret for more than an hour
That was true. She always told Libby everything who in turn, of course, would proceed to tell the entire town.
She runs on one hundred perfattitude (sp?) power
Well he wasn't sure what she ran on, but she sure had a lot of energy. A lot more than most people. It was like a fire actually. A fire that he knew kept burning him.
And the more she ignores me the more I adore her
Jimmy sighed deeply. What was sad was it was true. She ignored him so much and that made him want her all the more. It wasn't even logical! Being ignored should be a turn off, not a turn on. She was so good at ignoring him that he was sure she did it most times on purpose.
What can I do? I do anything for her
He would do anything for her and had done practically anything for her. If she needed him he was there. There wasn't anything that would stop him. Even when she thought she didn't need him he had always been right at her side.
Cuz she's bitter sweet she knocks me off of my feet
and I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery, she's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
She's just the girl I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
The way she sees me on her caller ID
she won't pick up the phone she would rather be alone
He had never called her. He had just gone over to her house and pounded on her door or threw rocks at her window. Jimmy knew that she didn't like it sometimes, but there were times when he just needed to be with her, to hear her voice. It was a strange longing really.
I can't give up just yet
cuz every word she's ever said, still ringing in my head
still ringing in my head
Years of things that she had said to him always popped into his head at odd moments. He wasn't sure why she had such a hold upon him.
She's cold and she's cruel, but she knows what she's doing
Knows just what to say so my whole day is ruined
Jimmy sighed again. Yes, she really could ruin his entire day by a single phrase. Then he would shuffle home and try to nurse his broken heart.
Cuz she's bitter sweet she knocks me off of my feet
and I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery, she's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
Cuz she's bitter sweet she knocks me off of my feet
and I can't help myself I don't want anyone else
She's a mystery, she's too much for me
But I keep coming back for more
But I keep coming back for more,
She's just the girl I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
She's just the girl I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
She's just the girl I'm looking for
Just the girl I'm looking for
At the end of the song Jimmy put his face in his hands and sighed even more deeply than before. Why did she have to be the one girl that he had ever loved? It wasn't as if he couldn't get a date. He had attended a camp over the summer and there had been a girl that had been hitting on him. Yet, he had said that he had a girl back home. Why did he have to say that? She never ever noticed him. Ever.
He raised his head and looked at the holographic picture that he had taken of her before he had left for camp. He touched it gently and shook his head.
"Why does Cindy Vortex have to be the girl I've been looking for?" Jimmy asked himself.
