Okay, this will be a random one-shot type thing. I am writing this during my week long fall break from school (thank goodness, I was about to go crazy!) and it is my second fanfic in 2 (count 'em, 2!) days.

I would like to take up these lines to thank all the authors who have written the stories I have previously read to give me ideas about development, attitude, etc. These authors are many, but to name a few :

Dory/Jessie (Anyone Other Than Me: the first story I read on )

El Chupacabra (When Nerdtron Came To Retroville, The Vortex Analysis)

And last but certainly not least, GaDS2000 (The Eye Of The Llama, countless others)

Disclaimer: Jimmy Neutron is not mine, therefore Cindy and he are not together, nor are Sheen and Libby. I did not invent him; I am not the author or animator for Jimmy Neutron, therefore don't expect too awful much from me.

Curse Of The Full Moon

What can I say about Halloween? It's on October 31st every year. Kids dress up as monsters, witches, ghosts, and goblins. They dress up as mere figments of the imagination, as unreal characters and go 'trick-or-treating' to collect confectionary, sugary treats filled with artificial taste, artificial ingredients, artificial coloring, artificial everything. These 'candies' are stuffed into children's mouths, where they are chewed and swallowed and will later cause agonizing pain and miserable misery when the sweet treats turn into not-so-sweet cavities and toothaches.

Now, you may be asking why I am telling you all this. Why am I going to the trouble of informing you of something you will just regard as useless nonsense and will log away to the deepest parts of your memory, never to be thought of again? Why am I against Halloween?

I'll tell you the reason I'm against Halloween. But first, I had better give you a little background information so as not to confuse you as how my stance on this particular issue came about.

It all started on October 31st, just two weeks ago. My friends and I were going trick-or-treating together as we do every year. Libby and Cindy were going together, as they had been for as long as I could remember.

We had gotten together at recess and decided that, if we went to the same houses at the same time, more candy could be accumulated and thusly our immense hunger for chocolates and such would be filled.

It was now time for us, the students, to be dismissed. Every eye in the room was focused on the circular, black clock fixated on the wall above the chalkboard.

We watched the hands slowly move upward. 5 minutes till. Now 4. 3. Just 2 minutes now. 1 minute. Almost 3:00. 5...4...3...2...1...DING! Finally, the bell rang.

The girls got up and started to walk across the room to the door. Our group followed, and all 5 of us stopped right outside the door.

"O.K. We're meeting at my house at 5:00, right?" Cindy questioned the group.

"Right," We all answered back.

"See you guys then, me and Libby are going straight home to work on our costumes." Libby waved as they turned and walked out the door.

"My house?" Jimmy asked.

"You're house." Me and Carl answered back.

"Right behind you, Jimmy." Carl told him.

We walked to his house to try out his new machine, the Costume Creator #2004/J-N. You step into the smaller-than-the-doghouse box and close the curtain, then you press the big blue button and it automatically transforms you into the creature you want to be for Halloween. I was going as Ultra Sheen, Ultra Lord's ultra-sidekick.

We got to the lab and Jimmy pulled one of his hairs and held it out in front of the DNA Scanner, a.k.a. VOX. "Welcome home, Jimmy," came a robotic voice.

The mat before our feet dropped down and we went down with it. Screams filled the tunnel and, at last, we were deposited on the floor of Jimmy's lab. Carl was on bottom, followed by Jimmy, with me on top. We were all dazed for a few minutes.

After I regained 'consciousness', I said jokingly, "You know something Carl? You'd think that a genius would know to put a mattress down before sliding down his own welcome tube."

"Sorry guys. I guess Goddard moved it; he was complaining about how the floor was sort of hard during the day."

"That's O.K. Jim."

"Lets hurry, it's almost time to meet the girls and you know how Cindy is when we make her wait."

"Yeah, you wouldn't want to make your girlfriend mad, would you Jimmy?" I said, starting to laugh. It always makes him mad when anybody mentions him and Cindy together in a lovey-dovey kind of way. Carl and I were both laughing hard, and it was hard for him to get a word in edgewise.

"She's not my girlfriend!! She'll never be my girlfriend! So could you please stop talking about it?" he said angrily.

"Whatever you say, Jimmy. You know you like her!" Carl said teasingly.

"Yeah, and it's a full moon tonight! You might get a kiss!" I said. Carl and I both erupted into fits of laughter. I don't know why he didn't throw us out, probably because he knew everything we were saying was true.

After about five good minutes of laughing at Jimmy's expense, we finally sobered up enough to get to work on our costumes.

"Gentlemen, may I present to you the latest version of my Costume Creator? I remodeled it last night so we could all three fit in at the same time."

"Right, we wouldn't want to make Jimmy late to see Cindy, would we Carl?" I felt another intense fit of laughter coming on.

"Right Sheen!" Carl agreed, and we both started to laugh again.

"O.k. O.k." I was breathing heavy from all the laughter. "Let's get ready."

We all stepped into the Costume Creator. "All you have to do is think about what you want to be for Halloween and then press the big, blue button."

"Gotcha Jimmy." I imagined myself in an Ultra Lord costume, with a big S on the front, standing for Sheen. I closed my eyes and pressed the button. Suddenly, a whirring sound came on and the next thing I knew, I was wearing an Ultra Lord costume with that same big S on the front. "I LOVE IT, JIMMY!" I screamed almost immediately.

"Good. Now let's go. We're late enough as it is."

"We're coming-" I was about to make another joke, but he cut me short.

"Don't even think about starting up with that again."

"Fine."

We walked across the street to Cindy's house. Jimmy knocked on the door and Cindy's voice came from within- "Come on in Neutron. Just don't touch anything. If you do my mom will freak."

"Remember guys. Don't start with that Cindy's Jimmy's girlfriend stuff, because she's not. Plus, it probably wouldn't be very fun for you too to spend Halloween in the emergency room. You know what Cindy will do to you if you do."

"We won't mention it. We promise." I crossed my heart and saluted to show him I was telling the truth.

"Good."

"O.k. We're ready," Cindy said as her and Libby came slowly down the stairs.

"Wow! Cindy you look…" Jimmy was going to say beautiful, I just know it.

"I look what, Neutron? Too good to go trick-or-treating with you?" She gave Libby a high-five and started to laugh.

Please read and respond. I know that it's not really a good place to end
