A Tidbit of a Creep

Note: Takes place in early 5th grade (The next day after 'See Jimmy Run')

The day begins in Jimmy's room waiting for Shoebot to turn his shoes back to normal. Originally, he wanted his shoes to make him run faster, but that unfortunately malfunctioned due to preventing him from stopping. His friends Carl and Sheen were at the Candy Bar. Jimmy wanted to have his shoes fixed, and then go. His mom was out gardening, and his dad was at work. Since he didn't have homework to take care of and he was still waiting for his shoes to be fixed, he decided to watch TV downstairs.

Things were going relatively normal for once, until the door bell rang. Jimmy went to answer it, but surprise surprise. It was none other than Cindy Vortex. At first he thought she just wanted to gloat to him that she won the track before, but then he realized she was wearing a girl scout uniform, and had a wagon full of girl scout cookies. Great... It's that time of year, Jimmy thought.

"Uh... Vortex?", Jimmy started to say.

"Hi!" Cindy stated with a grin that looked pretty forced. "Would you like to buy some girl scout cookies?"

"Umm... no thank you." Jimmy answered, still curious about the whole situation.

"Are you sure you don't want some girl scout cookies Neutron?" Cindy asked in that same forced expression.

Jimmy started to close the door a tad wanting this to end, "Yes, I'm sure."

Cindy was still trying to force a smile, though her eyes were showing anger from Jimmy not buying them. "Do you want to buy some freaking cookies!?"

"No," Jimmy stated as he was closing the door.

"BUY SOME COOKIES!" Cindy's forced smile faded away at this point as she tried to pull the door from closing.

"NO!" Jimmy replied as he managed to close the door. Cindy still knocked on the door to try to open it, but Jimmy just locked it and headed upstairs to his room. He checked the progress of his shoes remotely, and it still had a few minutes left until they were done. He e-mailed Carl and Sheen that he'll be leaving in a few minutes. Before he turned off his PC, he got a new e-mail from Cindy.

You better buy some cookies, because I'm not giving up easily! It said.

Jimmy responded with, Why are you instisting that I buy some. even though I don't want any?

Because I can win this way. Now buy some already!

I do not want to buy any, and you can't force me to either! With that, Jimmy turned off his PC and put on his shoes which were ready at this point. He walked out the door, only to run into Cindy selling cookies.

"Okay, at this point, can't you just go to other houses since they might buy them?" Jimmy asked.

"I won't move from here until you buy them!" Cindy responded.

"You won't move from this spot will you?" Jimmy asked mischievously.

"Nope" Cindy said.

"Well in that case," Jimmy said as he turned on his jetpack. "See ya." And with that, Jimmy flew away from his house and headed to the Candy Bar.

He eventually landed in front of the Candy Bar, and greeted his two close friends, Carl and Sheen.

"Sorry I'm late. I just had to fix these shoes." Jimmy said as he sat down across from them.

"Oh that's fine." Carl said. "We were just talking about who is better: Ultralord or Llama Boy. It clearly is Ultralord." Sheen stated.

"Anyway," Jimmy started hoping to not get sucked into this topic. "You wouldn't believed what happened today."

"What happened Jim?" Carl asked.

Jimmy explained the event he went through, and both of his friends listened. "I need you guys to give me ideas on what to do."

"Aren't you supposed to be the smart one?" Sheen asked in a particularly rude fashion which was recieved by a glare. "Okay okay. Maybe you should skip town and lay low until Vortex gives up, then return back."

"No, that would be crazy. It's not like she's a police officer." Jimmy said.

"What about actually buying the girl scout cookies?" Carl offered. "They don't taste bad. They're actually pretty good."

"I would do that, but the thing is, I wanna save my money for new materials." Jimmy explained.

"Then why are you having ice cream here?" Sheen asked.

"Because you said that you're paying for them," Carl explained.

"Oh... right." Sheen remembered.

After the Candy Bar visit, they walked to Jimmy's house at this time. On the way back they hid behind some bushes, but they can see Cindy across the street with the wagon still.

"See this is what I mean? She's not stopping until I buy some." Jimmy said. "Can you distract her until I'm in the house?"

"Erm... sure." Carl and Sheen said. "But how?"

"Just tell me you were on your way to visiting him." Jimmy said as they carried on.

"Ooh girl scout cookies," Carl said.

"Let's get 'em," Sheen said as they both ran for the door.

"What do you guys want?" Cindy asked with a slight annoyance.

"We're here to make a distra-" Carl said as Sheen covered his mouth.

"What he means to say is that we're here to see Jimmy. What are you here for?" Sheen asked.

"I'm here to sell Neutron girl scout cookies." Cindy explained.

"Can we have some?" Carl asked as he got Sheen's hand away from his mouth.

"Fine..." Cindy said reluctantly. "Got any money?"

"No, since I spent it on the ice cream earlier," Sheen answered sighing.

"I... um... I'm broke," Carl said.

"Guess you can't get any cookies then." Cindy said as she rolled her eyes.

"Wait!" Carl spilled the beans. "Jimmy could pay for ours. Hey Jim! Can you buy some cookies for us!?"

Both Sheen and Jimmy facepalmed at this. Jimmy's cover was blown as he was nearing the house.

"Carl! Why did you-" Jimmy said, but then was interrupted.

"Neutron just pay up already!" Cindy demanded.

"NO!" Jimmy said. "Sorry guys you're on your own." And with that, Jimmy walked into his house. Great it seemed like there was no way of getting out. Guess he'll have to suffer through the storm. Carl and Sheen have already left to find some money in Carl's piggy bank. In Jimmy's case he had to consult Goddard. He went to see his robo-dog upstairs in his room. "Goddard: Options."

Get money from your mom

"Nah, I have money on my own. I just don't want Cindy to win."

Skip town and run away

"That's what Sheen said. She's not the authority."

Get a restraining order on her

"I'm a kid. They won't listen to me. Thanks though. you can deactivate." With that, Goddard shut off. "Eh, I'll probably play a game."

As he was playing on his portable custom built game console, he suddenly got the chills from behind.

"Cookies..." A demonic voice said that scared the living atoms out of Jimmy as he dropped the handheld device. "Ooh you didn't buy any girl scout cookies... Now you're gonna lose all you hold dear..."

"Wh-... Where are you!?" Jimmy stated in a somewhat scared manner. Wait a minute reapers aren't real... Then again, I fought a talking pizza...

"Where are you?" The voice responded evily.

"You-... You better not do anything to my stuff and family, and leave this house right now!" Jimmy said more scared than ever.

"Not until you buy some girl scout cookies..." The voice responded.

"OKAY! OKAY! I'LL BUY SOME COOKIES!" Jimmy shouted still in shock. The chill feel he had earlier as the doorbell rang. Jimmy cautiously went downstairs to answer it to see, you guessed it, Cindy.

"Did you finally change your mind, Neutron?" Cindy asked with a slight grin. Hmm... looks like that voice editor was good for something...

"I'm just gonna ignore the fact that you were waiting at my house for 6 hours straight." Jimmy said rolling his eyes.

"Anyway... would you finally want to buy some cookies?" Cindy asked.

"How much do 2 boxes of Tagalongs cost?" Jimmy asked.

"14 dollars and 32 cents." Cindy answered.

"That's a rip-off" Jimmy said as he thrusted a $20 bill towards her and took two Tagalong boxes. "Keep the change," Jimmy said as he closed the door.

"Thank you very much." Cindy said.

Jimmy walked in sighing. Well since I bought some, she'll at least stop bothering me for today. Suddenly, the doorbell rang again. Jimmy opened it to see the last person he would want to see.

"Hi Neutron. Do you want to buy some more girl scout cookies?" Cindy asked with a creepy smile. Jimmy's expression was wide-eyed.
