The Unreal World
Notes: this is my first fic, so don't review too harshly. This will be a four-parter, like a hour –long episode.
Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron, but I'm saving money to buy stock in Nick
Part 1
Carl leaned out to get the mail early Saturday morning. Not much in the box for him but some stuff like bills. Two things caught his attention, one was an envelope addressed to him, and the other was an envelope from a studio. He opened the one addressed to him , and found an ad for "FREE JELLY OF THE MONTH FOR YOU AND 4 FRIENDS" Carl liked the sound of that, so he left the mail on the table and went up to his room to read the rest. The ad came with 5 cards to put the addresses and names to send the jelly to
Carl rummaged around in a drawer for a pen, and immediately filled out the forms for Jimmy, Sheen and himself. He re-reads the ad carefully and found that the ad was only valid if you had 5 people sign up. He tried to think of 2 more people that would want that. As he tried that, he opened up the other envelope.
He perused the paper, which said if you sent your name and address to with the envelope, you could be part of a reality show called Reality Kids.
"Eh, I'd only do it if Jim and Sheen did it too" said Carl to himself
He thought for a bit longer, and thought of Cindy and Libby, who weren't exactly his best friends, but would probably benefit from some free stuff, even if it were jelly. He filled them out for them too.
"CAAARL, lunchtime!" yelled Mrs. Wheezer. Carl hastily stuffed the cards into an envelope, which, unknown to Carl, was the wrong envelope, the one for the reality show.
Carl had mostly forgot about the envelope by Monday, so it lay on his desk. When Carl got home, his mother told him she mailed the thing on his desk, and she only got an mmmph in reply.
Three months later, in June.
School is now over, and Sheen, Carl and Jimmy are sitting on the lawn, staring at the clouds, when Libby and Cindy stalk over to them.
"Nerdtron, what have you DONE" cried Cindy angrily.
"Yeah, why do we have these things saying that we've been accepted to do a reality show?" said Libby
"Hey Jimbo, you got some mail here from a place called.. Reality Kids?" said Jimmy's dad
Sheen's dad and Carl's mom bring over similar letters. After an..er rather loud fight , Carl fesses up that he might have made a mistake.
"Well, are you guys going to do it?" says Carl hopefully.
"Maybe, I've got nothing else to do, this summer… I guess so" Says Cindy.
"Yeah, I'll do it," says Libby
"Can I bring Ultra Lord," says Sheen eagerly
"Hmm. But will our parents say yes?", says Jimmy
All of them get the answer, YES, and soon enough, they are being driven to the house where they will stay. The house looks normal, and there's a note on the doorstep, saying that they will be there for 2 weeks, and will have to decide whose room is whose.
When the 5 of them enter, they see that they are in a large blue room with black couches and a big screen. Then they continue down a hallway to a series of rooms, with 3 on the left and 2 on the right. The first one is green, and Sheen claims it for his own. The second is silver, and Jimmy immediately claims that one. Carl says he wants the last one, and Cindy and Libby take the other two. A door connects the two rooms on the right, and so are the other ones on the left.
Around 7:00, everyone gets hungry, so Sheen offers to cook.
"What ARE you going to cook," wonders Jimmy
"The Sheeninator has many talents", replies Sheen testily
"Besides bending your foot behind your fool head," says Libby laughingly
While Sheen starts to cook, he watches TV, and sees an ad for Ultra Lord, and gets so excited that he knocks a bottle of oil onto the stove. The bottle catches on fire and sends a column of flames to the ceiling. Thus, this sets off the fire detector and everyone goes running out of the house in a panic.
"Sheen, what do you have to say for yourself", growled Libby
"Um…. You look lovely Queen Libby?", mumbled Sheen.
The fire department comes and puts out the fire. The kitchen has scorch marks on the ceiling, and the pot that Sheen was using is burned to a crisp. Jimmy has the brilliant idea to call for a pizza, so everyone is mostly happy, except Jimmy and Cindy, who are fighting once again
"Look, Neutron, we should have stayed home", Cindy yells
"Nobody forced you to come here, you know," replies Jimmy, between bites of pizza.
"Well, maybe we should blame Carl for this, since it's his fault we're here, said Sheen grumpily.
"Look", screamed Libby, "Maybe we need some sleep." "We're all grumpy from the trip here, and the drama in the kitchen just added to it"
"Okay" they say in unison. They split up for the night. Cindy and Libby are still up though, and they are hanging out. Cindy is writing in her journal, and Libby is listening to a CD.
"Whatcha writing about, Cind?"
"Oh, just what happened today, with the cooking, and all."
"Then why do I see, but he looked so cute today, trying to take charge."
"Libbs, don't read that, It's PERSONAL!"
Remember, reviews more chapters!
