Disclaimer:I don't own Jimmy Neutron...


Four years ago, at 13, James Neutron and Cindy Vortex officially started dating. Not only were their closest friends relieved but every person, except for a select few, in Retroville was too. So relieved that the two supposed "rivals" finally ended their complex love-hate relationship and declared themselves as a couple.

It was safe to say that Jimmy and Cindy weren't the only ones tired of hidden feelings.

They were a couple for four and a half years. All the years were filled with both good and bad times but they managed to pull through them. Everyone whose seen them thought that they were the perfect couple. The kind of couple that seemed to be able to go through anything but then all of the sudden, with no warning, Cindy ended her relationship with Jimmy three months after he turned 17.

The two remained friends and on the outside, they pretended that nothing was wrong. On the outisde, they showed their wall of fake happiness; the barriers that protected the inner turmoil of their emotions from showing on the surface. The two went back to being what they were like before. Hell, not even like before.

They talked to one another but not willingly. The only time that they did talk to one another was if someone brought them both into a conversation. Due to the fact that they were both not speaking, there were no arguments that erupted during class or any other time. The two acknowledged the other's presence but they didn't do anything about it. They remained civil but not really the closest of friends.

Everyone else was in shock for them. Their relationship ended so suddenly that people didn't know what to think. The people of Retroville couldn't understand how two people who seemed to have loved one another so much just ended things the way that it did. To them, silence had never sounded so wrong and tense.

The two of them were unwilling to talk about their relationship due to the awkwardness that was sure to follow, and Jimmy not quite wanting to know the answer yet still dying to hear it anyway, but not knowing how to approach the situation.

So, in the end the two were stuck in the middle of a stalemate; both too cowardly to take the step forward.
