Author's Note:
Time for another episode of "Jimmy Neutron".
Into the stars, fueled by candy bars, rides a kid with a knack for inventions.
With a super powered mind, a mechanical canine (Goddard: Bark! Bark!) he rescues the day from sure destruction!
He's gotta save the world and get to school on time. So many things to do and not much...TIME!
So off the ground, up in the air. Out into the atmosphere! Who can we count on? Jimmy Neutron!
Now, on with the show!
Our story opens up in Jimmy's backyard, where we see his mother and father looking at their garden, which was all dried up and ruined.
"Oh don't feel bad, sugar booger" said Hugh "It's just a garden. It'll grow back"
"You don't understand, Hugh" said Judy "The Retroville Garden Contest is tomorrow and I haven't grown a single thing. All my plants are dried up and my garden is a dustbowl"
"Come on, honey" Hugh said as he pulled out something from the garden "Just get rid of these weeds and the flowers will look great"
"Those were the flowers" Judy deadpanned.
"Whoops" Hugh gulped.
Judy started sobbing over her ruined and pathetic garden. At that same time, Jimmy was inside his lab with Carl, Sheen and Goddard, testing out his latest invention.
"So, what exactly does this thing do again, Jimmy?" asked Carl.
"It's my new Ultra Shock Dance Teacher 8000" said Jimmy "It'll send small shocks to your body and make you dance like a pro! I mean, there'll be dances soon and what kind of girl wants to dance with a kid who looks like a total klutz?"
"But Jimmy, I thought we didn't like girls yet" said Carl.
"We don't" said Jimmy "I'm just saying that as an example"
"Okay" said Carl.
"Looking good, Jimmy" Sheen said as he gave a thumbs up.
"Thanks Sheen" said Jimmy "Now let me set it to 'MAMBO'"
Jimmy set the dials and a shock to Carl's body was sent and next thing you know, he was dancing like there was no tomorrow.
"Wow" said Sheen "That really works"
"Yeah" Jimmy nodded "Dancing lessons will be a thing of the past"
"Come on, let's get some lunch" said Jimmy "You coming, Carl?"
"Don't stop me, Jimmy" Carl said as he was dancing "I've got feet of flames! Da, da, da, da, da! Da, da, da, da, da, da!"
Eventually, Jimmy and Sheen managed to get Carl out of his dancing trance and they walked out of the lab and back to Jimmy's backyard, where they saw Jimmy's mom in despair over her garden.
"Hey Jimmy, what's going on with your mom?" asked Carl.
"My mom's been like this all week" Jimmy replied "She's been trying to grow her garden all week for the town gardening contest, but hasn't had any luck at all"
"Can't you use some of your crazy science mumbo jumbo to make your mother's plants grow?" asked Sheen.
"Well I could, but it would be unethical" said Jimmy "Then again, I don't wanna break my mother's heart. I guess I'll do it. Back to the lab!"
"I thought were going to get lunch" said Sheen.
"Back to the lab" Jimmy shouted.
"Okay, geez" said Sheen.
"Yeah" Carl stuck his finger in his ear "You don't have to yell, Jim"
Jimmy, Goddard, Carl and Sheen went into the lab and got out some sort of vial from Jimmy's shelf.
"Hey Jimmy, what's that?" asked Sheen.
"It's my plant acceleration serum" Jimmy replied "This is how I made my girl-eating plant"
"Wow, planty" Sheen remarked.
"So what exactly does it do, Jimmy?" asked Carl.
"It creates carbon dioxide and rapidly speeds up the plants growth" Jimmy replied "That way, my mom will get her plants faster and win the gardening contest. Come on, let's make my mom's garden come to life"
Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Goddard walked out to the garden, ready to plant the seeds and test out Jimmy's serum. Before they could do anything, they saw a "FOR SALE" sign being stamped as "SOLD" in the house across from Jimmy's place.
"Hey look" said Sheen "It looks like that house from across your place is being sold, Jimmy"
"Yeah" Jimmy pointed out "Our old neighbors from across the street are moving out. I wonder who'll move into their old house"
"Can we just worry about that in the future?" asked Sheen.
"Works for me" Jimmy shrugged "Anyways, let's get down to work. Goddard, dig!"
"Bark!" Goddard exclaimed as he started digging into the dirt.
Jimmy then spread seeds all over the garden, ready to plant them.
"Okay guys" said Jimmy "Time to use the serum"
Goddard then tugged onto Jimmy's shirt "Bark, bark"
"What is it, boy?" asked Jimmy.
Goddard whimpered and showed Jimmy his food bowl.
"Oh, I'm sorry boy" said Jimmy "Guys, I'm going to go feed Goddard. Don't touch the serum until I get back"
"Gotcha covered" said Sheen.
As soon as Jimmy and Goddard went into the house, Sheen and Carl looked at the serum.
"Boy Carl" said Sheen "I wonder what would happen if we dumped the whole serum on the seeds. Maybe they'll turn into plant monsters and attack the city, just like in Ultra Lord vs. the Plantoids"
"Sheen, Jimmy said to wait until he came back" Carl said as he took the bottle from Sheen "We're not supposed to use it"
"Okay, dang" said Sheen.
Just then, Jimmy came back to the garden "Okay guys. We're ready for planting"
"Okay Jimmy, but can you please make sure there are no pollen spores" Carl said as he breathed into his inhaler "I'm allergic"
"No worries, Carl" Jimmy said as he opened up the bottle.
"Now let's get cracking" Sheen said as he grabbed the bottle "Can I do the serum? Can I? Can I?"
"Okay, but only a single drop" said Jimmy "Like I said, this is the same serum I used for my girl eating plant"
Jimmy used an eye drop thing to feed the seeds and there was some sort of tiny glow that had faded in seconds.
"So that's it?" asked Carl.
"Yep" Jimmy nodded.
"That was lame" Sheen deadpanned "What do we do now?"
"I guess we have to wait a while" Jimmy said "Come on guys. Let's go inside and watch TV"
While Carl and Jimmy walked back inside, Sheen turned around and saw the bottle was still there. He looked from left to right and poured the serum all over where the seeds were.
"This'll make the plants grow bigger and better" Sheen thought as he walked into the house.
While everybody went to bed that night, the serum started to work its magic by growing the garden like a weed.

It looks like Jimmy has come up with another crazy experiment and when he's around, you can be assured that this one will cause some sort of conundrum. Stay tuned for more folks!
