This is a one-shot. The gang are all 16, except Sheen, who's 17.

Libby sees a travel brochure at the supermarket, and she decides that it looks like fun. Jimmy and the gang pool together their resources to vacation in the wonderful and mysterious island of Taboo.

"Under The Waterfall"

"Come on Sheen, we're going to be late!" shouted Jimmy as the gang raced toward the airport entrance, dragging their suitcases behind them.

"I am hurrying!" Sheen replied annoyingly.

Libby rolled her eyes, an amazing feat for someone who was dragging three full suitcases behind her. "Just shut up and pick up the pace."

Sheen, of course, shut up and obediently followed behind. Soon after, the gang reached their gate and clambered onto the plane.

"Welcome to your flight. We will be taking off shortly, so I advise finding your seats soon. Thank you and don't hesitate to ask one of our flight attendences if you need assistance."

Libby settled into her seat, which was an aisle seat, the aisle to her left and Sheen and Carl to the right. Unfortunately, Cindy and Jimmy happened to be sharing window seats. Cindy was right beside the window, and Jimmy was next to her, the aisle to his right.

"Why am I stuck next to her?" complained Jimmy audibly, seeing as the gang were the only ones on the flight, not counting the captain or the flight attendents.

"Because Carl's asleep and you know you can't move a Wheezer out of a chair after they fall asleep!" explained Libby.

Sheen interrupted, not once looking up from the Ultralord action figure he was holding. "And I'm never leaving the side of my queen."

Smiling, Libby rubbed his shoulder before glaring at Jimmy. "Stop complaining, Jimmy. No one's switching seats with you."

"Well, I could just move to one of the many unoccupied seats on the plane," he scoffed, motioning to all of the other seats on the plane. As he began to get up, one of the flight attendents approached him.

"I'm sorry, sir. But you can only sit in the seat you're assigned."

"But the-"

"I'm sorry, sir. Rules are rules."

"Look at all the empt-"

"Sir, please don't make me turn this plane around, because I can."

Grumbling in defeat, Jimmy sank down into his seat. The flight attendent gave a bittersweet smile before turning around to join the other flight attendents in conversation.

"Geez, Nerdtron, can't you act civil for once in your life?" asked Cindy, not bothering to look up from her book.

Jimmy glared at her, and replied loudly. "I am civil. I prefer to think of myself as the most civil person on this plane.I mean, who wants to sit next to something as disgusting as you?"

Her face turning a deep shade of magenta, she snapped back quickly. "Why are you talking about yourself?"

Both scowling, they turned away from each other and flipped open either books or magazines.

Libby sighed and wondered, Are they going to be like this the whole week?

As Cindy was unpacking, she heard someone come in through the door of the hotel room she and Libby were sharing.

"Libs, is that you?"

"Yeah, it's me. I just wanted to talk to you about something."

Cindy kept on unpacking, laying her clothes out carefully before placing them in the drawers. Libby came and sat on the bed opposite Cindy's.

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Well... It's that problem you have."

"What problem?"

"You know... The problem with Jimmy."

At the sound of Jimmy's name, Cindy's face turned red.

"W-What problem?" she repeated.

Libby sighed and sprawled out onto the bed. "The way you guys fight over everything. And it's not even in the joking sense..."

"Yes it is."

"No. It isn't.".

Cindy sighed before zipping up her now empty suitcase.

"Look. I'm sorry, Libs, if our squabbling gets in the way of you and the others from having fun... I'll talk to Jimmy about it tonight during dinner."

Libby smiled slightly before launching into a huge conversation concerning Sheen, her long time love.

"Did you see me and Sheen before we went off to our rooms?"

"No. Personally, I prefer not looking at the two of you together."

"You're just jealous because the guy I like, likes me back."

"Who says I like anybody?"

"Girl, even a blind man would be able to see that you've got the hots for Jimmy!"

"Do not," snapped Cindy, her face flaming up in an instant.

"Then why you blushing?"

"Am not."

"Girl, you actin' like a five year old. Get over yourself and ask Jimmy out!"

"Well... Hypothetically, let's say I did like him. What if he says no?"

"Well, hypothetically, he'd be crazy to say no. I mean, since he's been in love with you since you guys first met."

Her heartbeat pounding in her ears, Cindy sank lower onto her bed. Just as Libby opened her mouth to say more, they were interrupted by a loud pounding at the door.

"Libby, Cindy, time for dinner! We'll be down in the lobby!" came the unmistakeable voice of Sheen, the ever hyper Mexican jumping bean.

"Okay, Sheen! We'll be down in a minute!" replied Libby. Then she turned to Cindy. "Think about it during dinner, Cindy," she said before snatching her purse and strolling out of the door.

Dinner was good. No, wait, let's rephrase that. It was awesome. Cindy and Jimmy hardly fought at all during the dinner, Sheen wasn't as stupid as they thought, and Carl just ate, no questions asked.

Okay, well, Jimmy and Cindy did fight, just not as much as before.

"That's a decoration, Nerdtron, you're not supposed to eat it!"

"I knew that, I was checking... What it smelled like!"

"Pssh, sure."

"I was!"

Libby interrupted before things could get too out of hand. "Guys, Sheen and I are going to take an early night off, don't expect us to come back down. At least, not until tomorrow." She finished her sentence with a wink before Sheen grabbed her hand excitedly.

Jimmy made a face before grumbling, "How loathesome. I can't bear to think of what their offspring looks like."

Cindy shook her head and pushed the food on her plate around with her fork. "For once, Neutron, I agree with you. I mean, what does she see in him?"

"Hey, Sheen's a good friend, so shut your mouth, Vortex!"

"You know what? I'm tired of this, come walk with me, Neutron."

Cindy threw down her napkin before grabbing Jimmy's forearm and dragging him along.

"W-What are you doing, Vortex? Have you finally gone crazy?"

"No. I just really need to talk to you."

"Talk about what?"

"Us."

"There is no us!"

"I'm not talking as in that kind of us. I'm talking about fighting us."

"Oh."

"Oh is right."

Cindy stopped at a beautiful waterfall, the noise of water on water was loud enough to drown out anything.

"Let's go for a swim." And Cindy began stripping off her tank top and long, flowing skirt. Underneath wasan emerald green bikini, matching her eye color exactly.

"Aren't you coming in?"

The night was warm, since this was a Caribbean island, and Jimmy nodded slowly before stripping himself of his t-shirt, revealing well developed abs and chest.

Cindy dived in with a panther-like grace, Jimmy watching her every move.

"Umm... I thought you wanted to talk," exclaimed Jimmy after diving in after her.

"I did. And we will. I just felt like going swimming right now, isn't this place beautiful?"

"Umm.. Yeah... But seriously, what did you want to talk about?"

Jimmy treaded forward, both of them getting closer and closer to the waterfall.

"Like I said before... Us."

Jimmy ducked underwater, only to come up dripping wet a few feet away.

"But nothing's wrong with us," he gasped.

"Yeah, actually, there is something wrong."

"What would that be?"

Just as Cindy opened her mouth, Jimmy ducked underwater again, this time not coming back up.

"Jimmy?"

Cindy began treading harder, turning this way and that. Again, she called out with a certain amount of anxiety in her voice.

"Jimmy?"

And from behind the waterfall came a hand. It grabbed Cindy's shoulder, causing her to shriek.

"Calm down! It's just me!"

Cindy twisted around, trying desperately to see behind the curtain of fast moving water.

"Jimmy? What are you doing behind there?"

Jimmy stuck his head out, the waterfall splitting on his head.

"Come behind, it's so awesome."

Quizzically, Cindy made a face before ducking underwater, only to find herself surfacing in the most amzing place she'd ever seen.

"Wow."

Jimmy chuckled and sat down on a rock. "You can say that again."

Behind the waterfall was a cave, glowing in the dark as brightly as if it were the sun. The cave was quite cozy, not as wet and slimy closer to the inside.

"Wow," repeated Cindy. "Who would've thought that there would be something like that behind the waterfall?"

"Actually, most waterfalls do have caves behind them. But it's most unlikely that it would have glowing lichen in it... This cave is somewhat special."

Cindy looked at Jimmy with a I-didn't-ask-you-now-did-I? look.

"Okay, Mr. Know-it-all."

Jimmy raised his hands in defeat. "Okay, just trying to help."

"Thanks anyway." Cindy smiled slightly before walking toward the back end of the cave. She ran her hand along the walls, surprised when the lichen came away and stuck to her hand.

"Cool, huh?" asked Jimmy, suddenly appearing beside her.

Swallowing slightly, Cindy replied cooly," Yeah. But we should head back soon."

"Wait, what about talking about us?"

"We can do that tomorrow."

"No."

"What?"

"We should settle it right now."

"Settle?"

"Our past. Our present. Our future."

"You sound like a cheap commercial."

"And?"

"And what?"

"Should I care if I sound like a cheap commercial?"

"No.. I guess not."

Jimmy moved closer to Cindy, his eyes flashing something unreadable.

"You're creeping me out, Jimmy," muttered Cindy, fighting hard to not crumble right there, in front of Jimmy. Into his arms.

"I'm sorry."

"You don't need to be sorry," she whispered, trying hard to hide the blush that had crept up onto her face.

"Why is that?"

Because I love you, thought Cindy. But she didn't say it. Of course she didn't. She couldn't bring herself to say it 5 years ago, how could she bring herself to say it now?

"We really should get back."

Jimmy look at her, apparently hurt by her reaction.

"Okay," he sighed sullenly. So they slipped into the water, plunging down into the darkness under the waterfall. But before they could come up at the other side, Cindy felt a hand on her arm. She looked over and saw that Jimmy was pulling her closer. And under the water, he looked ghostly pale, the glowing lichen barely shedding enough light to see his face. And that's when he did it.

He kissed her.

And it wasn't one of those brotherly-on-the-cheek kisses either. This was a legit boyfriend-on-the-mouth kiss. They stayed underwater for, how long? A long time. And when they finally surfaced on the other side of the waterfall, Cindy was the first to speak.

"We could've drowned, idiot!"

Jimmy grinned stupidly at her. "But I'm your idiot, right?"

"That's right, so kiss me already!"

And he did.
