Cat Fight
Chapter 1
Zukone

Sheen busted into the library, "Jimmy come quick."

"Not now Sheen." Jimmy said reaching up for a book on the shelf. "I know it's lunch time but I wanted to do a little bit more research before I started my next project." Jimmy flipped through the pages briefly before putting back. "These resources aren't nearly adequate enough."

"Forget that." Sheen said antsy feet dancing. "Girl Fight!" He jumped barely able to contain his excitement. "They might tear each other apart."

"Ugh. I am not interested in the primitive mating rituals of prepubescent/preteen girls whose high pitched screeching might set me off kilter." He turned his back to the Ultra-Lord devotee and grabbed for another book on the shelf

"Suit yourself." Sheen said shrugging his shoulders. "But I'm not gonna miss seeing Cindy rip Betty apart." Sheen tore out of the library to the school yard.

"Did he say Betty Quinlan and Cindy Vortex? Sheen! Wait! I'm coming!" he said, abandoning the books to follow.

Barely on Sheen's heels, he asked, "Do you know what they're fighting about?"

"Some guy."

"Gah. I know that already. That's the only reason girls fight eachother. Which guy?"

"Who cares? Look! They're in the mud." The boys stopped next to Carl and mimicked his facial expression of shock and awe at what was occurring before them.

"You said you were going to stay away from him!" Cindy said hurling a mud ball at Betty.

"Well I lied!" Betty retorted grabbing Cindy by the ponytail and set her hurling backwards in the mud. Cindy jumped onto her feet swiftly and then swept the other girl from under hers. She gave a primitive snarl before throwing herself onto her opponent. The two then proceeded to wrestle getting dirtier by the second.

"Do you know what's going on Carl?"

"Cindy and Betty are fighting."

"I know that but why?"

"Over a guy." Jimmy smacked his head.

"Listen to me Carl. This is very important. Which guy are Cindy and Betty fighting over? Nick?"

"I think it was Jimmy."

"Jimmy, which Jimmy? Wait a minute . I'm the only Jimmy in this school. Gas planet, they're fighting over me."

"Would you two just shut up? I'm trying to enjoy the fight. The insults are just started to get good."

"Yeah. No doubt" Nick said, crossing his arms. "Don't interrupt the chick fight."

"Alright little Miss Bobble-head, your gonna make due on your promise by force if I have to make you." Cindy said while choking her.

"You're one high strung bimbo" the other girl struggled to say before flopping Cindy to the ground.

"That's it!" Cindy huffed. "I've been holding back. Just for that I am going to Tai Chi you to the next millennium." Cindy managed to throw the girl off and ran towards her ready to give her the walloping of a lifetime.

"Oh no, this is all my fault." Jimmy said before throwing himself into the fray. "You've got to stop fighting over me." Jimmy struggled to keep the girls at bay because even though he was between them they still reached to get another hit. "I know that I'm smart, and, well, handsome and hard to resist, but you've got to control yourselves. I'll devise a better way to determine-"

"Stay out of this fudge head," Betty said pushing him away. Jimmy spattered into the mud, dumbfounded expression finding its way onto his face. He sat between the two girls who only now had stopped fighting. What was going on in their eyes was a different story. Betty stood strong; no matter how many beating she had gotten, she didn't seem ready to give up. Cindy, though, was a little more than confused.

"I don't get it. I thought you liked him." She said.

"It's not about him, Cindy. It never was."

Cindy started to lower her arms. "Don't tell me?"

Betty turned away sharply. "Why wouldn't I be? You're smart, you're strong, you got great leadership skills. I don't really care about Jimmy. I just wanted to get to you somehow. Before I knew it, the attention that used to be mine was yours. I used to be the prettiest girl. I used to be the smartest. You broke all my past records athletically, academically, artistically. The list just keeps going on."

"So all this time, you were jealous of me." Cindy put a comforting hand on her.

Betty shook her head and her face softened. "Not jealous of," Betty put her hand on Cindy's to clarify "Jealous over."

Cindy withdrew her hand quickly, her eyes wider than before. The crowd stood equally as shocked and Jimmy froze in a state mortification.

"I even convinced that Liberty Folfax to go out with Sheen despite my knowledge that he was a complete idiot. No one in their right mind would give such advice." Betty said.

"Hey." Sheen shouted.

"I had to make the path clear. Even despite the fact that Libby was out of the picture, Jimmy was always in the way. I tried to be nice to him. I really did, but he was an annoying little pest."

Jimmy gave Betty a cockeyed look from the ground.

"I couldn't dismiss him yet. I figured that I could use his little crush to my advantage. When I told you he was all yours it was because you were being so mean to me. I couldn't stand it, Cindy. It really hurt my feelings."

"Ehe. That's nice to know." Cindy laughed nervously. "No reason to fight now that I know your intentions." Cindy said sheepishly before taking off. "Gotta go"

"Wait, Cindy. Where're you going?" Betty said.

"Man Jimmy, Girl fights over you really stink."

"Anyone else notice that Betty just kept rattling on like she was confessing to a murder."

"Anyone notice how I don't care?" Sheen said.

Sheen and Carl walked away along with the dispersing student body leaving Jimmy to deal with his devastated emotions.
