Hey fanfictioneers!
This was actually my very first fanfiction, which I wrote about two and a half years ago. A couple months ago I took it off the site and have recently edited and redone most of it. The plot is the exact same, just better written (I hope).
If you read it the first time, let me know how I did correcting it. If this is your first time reading it, let me know what you think.
Also, I apologize in advance for anyone whose e-mail will blow up with notifications when I post the whole thing at once.
Disclaimer: I don't own Jimmy Neutron or the other characters.

Chapter 1: Prototypes
"Open up Neutron!"
Cindy Vortex was banging on the door to the lab of her neighbor/arch rival Jimmy Neutron. Without warning, the trapdoor under her feet slid open, causing Cindy and her best friend Libby to come crashing down screaming into Jimmy's laboratory.
"Remind me again why we invited Cindy?" Jimmy questioned his best friends Carl and Sheen as he surveyed the pile of limbs that was the girls.
"Because my Ultra-Queen wouldn't come if Cindy wasn't invited." Sheen replied, while gazing lovingly at his girlfriend Libby Folfax.
"I said enough with the nicknames Sheen!" Libby said as she picked herself up off the floor. "Besides, Cindy's just here to make sure Jimmy doesn't blow up the town…AGAIN!"
Although Libby had been reasonably nicer to Jimmy since she started dating Sheen, she still sided with Cindy on most things.
Jimmy just shook his head, "Whatever. Anyway, to answer Miss Vortex's question…Ladies, gentlemen, and unwanted neighbors!" (Cindy just scowled at this) "I have called you all here to present to you the latest of Neutron Technology! Behold! I give you…The Neutronic Drone Machine!" Jimmy said as he proudly held up his latest invention.
"It looks like a salad strainer," Cindy scoffed. "What does it do? Bore your salad to death?"
"For your information Dorktex, this is a highly sophisticated machine that is able to rid someone of the ability of free thought, creativity, and renders them completely emotionless."
"In other words, you want to create an army of mindless zombies to do your bidding?"
"I didn't say that! And besides, they would be called drones,not zombies," Jimmy pointed out.
"So you admit that is your plan?"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Would you two just knock it off?" Libby was always the one who was stuck breaking the two apart. Sheen was often distracted, and Carl was just scared that Cindy was going to use him for Thai-Chi practice.
"How 'bout you just show us how it works?"
"I would love to," Jimmy started to power it up, but then decided against it.
"I would love to give you all a demonstration, but seeing as this is just a prototype there is no way to know for sure whether or not it will work. I would be glad to explain it to you guys though."
"How wonderful," scoffed Cindy. "We get to listen to King Cranium over here use his big words to explain his salad hat! I can't wait… FOR YOU TO SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH AND STOP TALKNG! Gimme that!"
Cindy grabbed the 'salad hat' from the young genius' hands, and placed it on her head.
"Cindy, stop! It's far too dangerous!" Jimmy warned.
Instead of taking his warning, she began prancing around the room saying "Look at me! I have a salad strainer on my head! It will turn me into an emotionless creep! Seriously Nerdtron, get a li-aaaahhh!"
Cindy's rant was cut off as she tripped over a loose wire. As she fell, she bumped the drone machine's power button on one of the tables.
The rest of the gang was launched back as a loud buzzing sound filled the room. They watched, shocked and terrified, as a bright glow filled the air and electricity sizzled above them.
After a few seconds, the sound and lightning ceased suddenly.
They stared through the smoke, searching for any sign of Cindy.
I forgot how short these chapters were...makes them quicker to edit I guess.
