I hate myself for writing this. I don't know how long it's going to be, how it's going to end or anything. I just wanted to write it really bad! And I promised myself no new stories until I was finished with Just What the Doctor Ordered. So much for that idea.

Disclaimer: I don't own freakin' Jimmy Neutron. I'm sick and tired of these stupid disclaimers. Seriously, I wouldn't be here if I owned it. I'd be showing my success off to my enemies, and laughing in their face. So HA.

Chapter 1 - Plans


"So, um, how is she?" Libby tried to act casual, but it wasn't working out so well. Just ask Sheen. Earlier, in the car on the way over to the hospital, she had flipped out every time they stopped at a red light. ("WE JUST STOPPED AT ONE OF THESE! MY FRIEND COULD POSSIBLY BE DYING RIGHT NOW! AND THE LIGHT DECIDES TO CHANGE NOW? DOES GOD HATE ME?")

The windows of the car had been open, too.

"Are you a family member?" The nurse asked dully, staring down at her magazine and popping her gum annoyingly.

Libby's eye twitched. "Yes."

Sheen snorted and the nurse looked up at her and raised a brow, looking bored. "Is that so?"

Libby glared at her. "We're distant cousins."

The nurse-whose-name-was-Gina-because-it-said-on-her-nametag sighed and rolled her eyes. "I know you're not related to her. You can stop lying now."

Libby looked close to tears. If there hadn't been a large amount of people in the waiting room, she would have gotten on her knees and begged. This was a very desperate situation.

"So what! She's my best friend! And she could be dying! And...I need to see her! Now! Hurry quick lead the way!" Sheen put a comforting hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.

"Your friend isn't dying." The nurse-whose-name-is-Gina stated simply, as if the situation Libby was in wasn't horrible at all.

"But her mother told me she's in a COMA!" Libby almost yelled, catching the attention of many people in the waiting room.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot let you see her. Family members only." The nurse-whose-name-is-Gina said firmly.

Sheen smiled at them and waved at a random person across the room. He was wearing dark, large sunglasses and was holding a long cane. When he didn't respond to the enthusiastic wave, Sheen frowned.

The nurse-whose-name-is-Gina stared at him blankly. Didn't he know the man was obviously blind?!

"Listen lady," Libby started lowly, leaning over the counter dangerously, making sure they were the only two who could hear the conversation. "My best friend is in a coma. I think it's only fair for you to put me and my boyfriend out of distress and just let us SEE HER. If not, I could call your manager. You don't know if I'm her distant cousin or not!"

The nurse-whose-name-is-Gina sighed, wanting to hit her head repeatedly against the desk. These two had to be the most insane people she had seen all day.

"Fine. But you leave when I say you leave, got that?"

Libby gave her a charming smile, her white teeth showing. "Got it."


"I just can't believe it."

Libby nodded understandingly at the dark-haired woman sitting in the chair next to the bed. She was more hysterical than she had been.

"Yes, it's such a tragedy." Libby sniffed.

Cindy Vortex's father groaned at his dramatic wife and Cindy's friend. He glanced at the dark-haired boy that had came in with Libby and leaned over to whisper in his ear, "You want to get outta here? There's a sports bar down the road."

Sheen's eyes widened with excitement and confusion. "Sir, your daughter is in a coma! And you want to go to a sports bar?!" He hissed.

The man shrugged. It's not like she was going to die. There wasn't much he could do sitting in a chair by her bedside, watching his distraught wife sob and cry over his daughter's body. He doubted she would wake up anytime soon, anyways.

I guess you needed your rest when you get hit by a car.

Sheen smiled. "Okay."

Before they could make a plan to escape, they was a tiny groan that emitted from the figure on the bed.

Libby and Sasha Vortex gasped, looking toward Cindy.

Bleary green eyes opened and blinked a few times before surveying the room silently.

"Cindy?" Sasha called softly.

Cindy's eyes landed on her and stared at her, looking confused.

"Oh Cindy darling! I thought you would never wake up!" Sasha embraced her daughter tightly, her tears turning into happy ones.

Libby smiled and turned to the now unhappy men behind her. "Go get a doctor!" She commanded, leaving no room for argument.

"So much for that sports bar," Cindy's father grumbled, following Sheen out of the room.

Cindy tried to pull away from the choking embrace and she felt overwhelmed. She didn't know where she was, what had happened, what day or time it was, how she got here, or...

Who all these crazy people were.

She finally broke free of the choke hold and stared at the two women in the room. "Um...who are you?"

Libby and Sasha looked at each other, mortified. Before either of them could open their mouths to say something, the white hospital door opened with a click and a doctor clad in white stepped inside.

"Hello, Cindy. I see you're finally awake." The balding man smiled at her warmly.

"What happened? Why am I here?" Cindy asked him.

"We'll get to that soon." He replied, not seeming fazed at all.

He looked to Cindy's mother. "Well, I really do hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm afraid Cindy has temporarily lost her memory."

"WHAT?!"

The doctor winced. "Don't worry, all you need to do is fill her in with what has happened in the past few months or years, and after awhile she will regain everything she knew before the accident."

"What accident?" Cindy asked, looking at everyone in the room again.

Sasha Vortex didn't know how well that would work out. For one thing, she didn't know her daughter very well. She never really had. These past few years had been very rough, because her and her husband actually hadn't talked to Cindy during that time period.

They had gotten into a fight two and a half years ago when Cindy had claimed that she was controlling her life. They hadn't really talked since.

She hadn't even known that her and Libby were still friends until Libby had shown up at the hospital earlier. She regretted letting this distance come between them.

"You..." Libby was trying to think of a complicated, sophisticated thing that had happened to her, rather than the same old getting hit by the car thing. Boring. "Got hit by a car." So much for that.

"I...got hit by a car. That's...not good. And who are you?" Cindy asked slowly.

Libby smiled lightly. "Libby Folfax. Your best friend."

Well, she wasn't completely lying.

Almost two years ago, Cindy and Libby started to separate a bit. Libby could tell Cindy was upset about the fight her and her parents had gotten into and Libby had seriously thought at one point, Cindy went crazy. Why, do you ask?

Because she become friends with the most evil bitch the walked the Earth.

That's right. Betty Quinlan.

And while Libby knew that they were all older know, and Betty probably wasn't as bad as she was in say, 5th grade. But she was certainly not no angel. She still manipulated, cheated, lied, and sneaked through life the same way, but in a more mature way. Libby wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Libby really had tried to pull Cindy back to the light side, but eventually she had came to realize that it wasn't going to be easy to get her back once she was gone. She started partying with Betty, going out for coffee with Betty, seeing movies with Betty, walking with Betty, talking on the phone with Betty, and even taking bathroom trips with Betty.

Sure, her and Cindy still talked and did some of the things they did a few years back, but it wasn't the same. Cindy wasn't the same. Libby, knowing that getting hit with a car and losing your memory was supposed to be a bad thing, saw the bright side of things.

She was going to get her friend back.


Ah...yes, I did find the inspiration for this story from Samantha Who?, the TV show. Don't bug me about it, okay? I'm really not going to copy each episode. I've actually only seen the first episode, anyways. So, please read and review!
