Mother in law- the living horror
Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron! But I do own my dreams AND YOU CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME!!
A/N Hey folks, this is firepearl again! Thanks to all of you who reviewed my story! Greetings to all of you!! Since my computer is too dumb to let me create a new plot, I decided to trick him (Hah-in your face) and put the next story in here as a new chapter… so let's make this like a container for my stories, till I know how to fix the situation (grabs fire sword and threatens the PC)… This is supposed to be a multi chapter story….
Oh and thanks for the advice, I reedited this one how you suggested it, acosta perez jose ramiro!
„Oh…time goes by so quickly…"
Judy mumbled quietly as she was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Hugh entered the room and looked curious at his lost in thoughts wife.
"What's the matter, Sugar Booger?"
He asked smiling. Judy's eyes sparkled wet. She returned the smile and replied:
"I was just thinking Hugh… Isn't it incredible how fast our Jimmy grows up? I still remember the little nine year old boy genius, who used to think all girls have cooties…"
Hugh nodded softly his head, smiling broadly as the flood of memories rushed over him.
"Yeah…"he chuckled. "Remember the first day we moved in here? We went to greet the Vortex'…"
Judy continued while giggling slightly:
"…and when little Cindy came down they would just stare at each other… not saying a word, till she slammed the door."
Hugh squeezed his wife's hand gently.
" Oh and when they met later again, our Jimbo would complain about her all evening afterwards… It was love at the first sight, wasn't it?"
Judy nodded, suddenly lost in thought again.
"So true…but wasn't it amusing how much they fought? Jimmy used to think no one had a clue about his feelings but him… "
They laughed cheerfully. Hugh reached for a towel as Judy finished washing.
"Oh he was a sprightly little boy then…doing all these "genius" thingies… oh these were great toys!"
His wife shook barely noticeable her head at the thought of Hugh playing with Jimmy's inventions.
"Nowadays he makes those important big people things…not like back the old days"
Judy nodded.
"Hmm… only dealing with police men…from time to time with the secret service…"
They both smiled.
"Ah the good old peaceful times…"
Judy grabbed a plate and begun to dry it.
"But he grew up… doing more dangerous experiments…battling against intergalactic villains, like in this game show...or this League of villains"
Hugh wagged an eyebrow:"
He got a girl…"
Judy slapped him playfully with her towel.
"Oh he was so cute that day, after the news show… when he got home, his eyes were wide, his cheeks flushed , a sparkle in his eyes… call it maternal instinct, but I knew that instant that something happened between him and Cindy… he held the same goofy smile like you after our first kiss…"
Hugh scratched smiling his chin.
"Hmm… the whole town was relieved when they got together…but I admit I was freaking out a little bit at the beginning… she wasn't exactly the nicest girl you can think of…"
"But she did turn out very nice, didn't she? Besides she had been acting like our Jim all the same…Oh and then came middle school… high school…remember their first real date?"
Hugh laughed loud at that thought:
"Oh I do, Sugar Booger…you wouldn't stop crying and hugging him… I was afraid he'd come late for his date…"
Judy shot him a glare:
"Oh and your "Girls are like pies" talk of twenty minutes before wouldn't have had anything to do with that, right?"
Hugh raised his hands in defeat:
"Don't be angry Sugar…I didn't mean it that way!"
Judy scoffed and grabbed another plate. She stared lost at the wall.
"Iremember the prom, as if it was yesterday…our little Jimmy was very handsome, wasn't he?"
"Sure he was. And Cindy looked adorably pretty. They do fit so well together…I'm sure they spent a wonderful evening…"
"Oh I can tell you, by the happy look on his face, when he came home…hmm…then graduation came… choose of a college…they were so happy, when they went to the same, but after all she's a very smart girl!"
"Well, that's for sure. I always get headaches when we start a normal conversation…"
Judy shook her head. Hugh would never change. But in the end, she loved him for that.
"And now here we go… the last semester and he has proposed to her!"
She wiped away a tear and squealed:
"My baby is getting married!"
"Yes…I'm happy for the Jimster! He found a wonderful girl to marry at the age of nine years… that's luck I gotta say! I'll be glad when she joins our family!"
Judy nodded with a smile:
"Yes I really got it for her… the only thing I pity her for are her parents…the poor girl didn't deserve such snobs!" she fumed.
Hugh nodded eagerly:
"Seriously, the do have some issues, Sugar Booger…I remember the day when they were fourteen and you gave them a piece of your mind!"He chuckled, while Judy blushed embarrassed and snapped:
"What else should I've done?"
Flashback
The doorbell rang. Judy Neutron opened curiously the door, just to find her son's girlfriend at her porch, with suspiciously wet eyes.
"Morning Cindy…" Judy greeted friendly as ever.
Cindy looked up at her, smiling weakly:
"Good Morning Mrs. Neutron…is Jimmy here?" her voice was a bit shaking.
Judy frowned a bit and told her:
"Sure dear, I'll call him! Come in, sit down on the couch…"
She went upstairs to her son's room, shaking thoughtfully her head. She did like Cindy well, especially since she knew how important Cindy was to her Jimmy. She knocked at his door.
"Jimmy! Come out please!"
Seconds later, Jimmy appeared, looking a little bit tired.
"What is it mom? I'm a bit tired, since I was working lately yesterday…"
"Honey, Cindy is at the living room… I don't know what the matter is, but she seems very down…"
Jimmy's head jerked up.
"What? Thanks mom, I'll see what's up with her!"
Judy smiled as her son rushed down the stairs. Hugh appeared and stared questioningly at his wife.
"Hey, Sugar Booger, what is happening?"
Judy shrugged.
"I don't know, but Cindy just came over and wanted to talk to Jimmy…something bad is up with her, I can tell…Jimmy's comforting her right now."
Hugh smiled warmly.
"Now that's my Jimbo! Wanna see what this is about?"
Judy glared at him.
"We can't! That would be spying…as his parents we have the duty to…"
"…Check whether everything is alright!" Hugh completed smiling her sentence.
A smile formed on Judy's face.
"That is true…Let's go and check…"
They snuck quietly down the stairs till they reached the middle, listening carefully to the teens' conversation.
"I wouldn't bother you usually…but I…she's so horrible sometimes and I needed someone to talk to…." rang Cindy's voice in an unfamiliar weak tone. Judy raised an eyebrow.
"It's okay Cin; really… now what did she say?" Jimmy asked softly.
"Err…she keeps on doing pressure on me…For crying in the mud, I'm getting straight A's since I started school! But no…it's not good enough, never! There is always a way I could have done better…and she keeps telling me how worthless all my succeeds are, if there could have been something better! She says I'll stay worthless if I don't improve…Can you imagine your own mother calling you worthless? And then she keeps picking on our relationship and how I'm throwing myself away, how I'm damaging the family's image… I just can hear it anymore, Jimmy!" her voice faded away, so she sobbed mournfully instead.
Jimmy looked pitifully at her and embraced her comforting.
"Aww Cin…don't listen to that! You're anything but worthless! I know it's hard, but you need to ignore these comments…you can be proud of yourself…after all being the best isn't what makes you "someone"! I should know, I'm a genius!"
Cindy tried to gag while she was still sobbing:
"Don't let your ego blow your mind away!"she laid her head on his shoulder.
"But still…thanks, Jimmy…"
Suddenly she began crying harder, with Jimmy still hugging her and cheering her up. Judy's eyes narrowed. She was very proud of her son, but simultaneously she felt hot anger dwelling up.
"Come Hugh! We're visiting the Vortex'" she told her husband.
"But Sugar Booger do you really think we should…"
But Judy didn't listen to him. Determined, she dragged her husband out to the Vortex' Mansion. A few seconds after they rang the doorbell, Sasha Vortex' face appeared, very annoyed as she recognized the persons in front of her.
"What do you want, Neutrons?" she asked, her voice full of disaffirmation.
Judy gritted her teeth.
"We came over to give you a piece of mind! How do you dare to make your daughter that unhappy? How…how can you call her worthless, you heartless snob? You have a wonderful little girl, smart, creative, talented and you're treating her like dirt! It freaks me out! How can you have the right to slag your daughter like that! " she screamed in Misses Vortex' face, who snapped angrily back:
"What right do you people have to talk with me about my daughter like that? It's none of your business how I raise my Cynthia!"
"It is our business, since she sits crying at our couch, comforted by our son, who tries to help her to forget the things you said!"Judy shot in her face.
Mrs. Vortex stared blankly at her. Her voice was cracking:
"She cried?"
The words hang loosely in the air, till Judy replied coldly:
"Maybe you should have cared about your child then you would have noticed…"
She twirled around, pulling Hugh back into her own house. Mrs. Vortex stared emotionless at the spot, where Judy has been.
End Flashback
"It was great you did that for her, really Sugar Booger!" Hugh assured his wife.
Judy sighed.
"Yeah…Oh Hugh I still can't deal with the fact, my baby is growing so fast…One semester left, then he'll marry her and then…."
Hugh grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes.
"But we know he'll be in good hands, Sugar!"
Judy smiled and replied:
"I suppose you're right… Well, Jimmy should have said goodbye to Cindy by now...let's go to the living room"
They entered smiling the room and discovered a terrified Jimmy, leaning with wide eyes against the door, breathing heavily. Judy walked concerned towards her son.
"Jimmy, dear…everything's alright?"
Jimmy shook slowly his head and looked terrified into her eyes.
"Cindy…she said, now that we're getting married… I'll have no excuse anymore…she wants me to come over for a dinner…" he gulped.
"…with her parents!"
Judy's and Hugh's eyes widened, as Jimmy looked in horror at them.
A/N so…that's it! What do ya think? Like it? Hate it? The idea popped into my mind…let's see how his friends will help poor Jimmy….or will they make it worse? What do ya think about Judy? Is she in character? If you like it stay tuned for the next chapter!
Oh and please tell me, what mistakes I made!
And if no one likes it…well….sniff sniff I'll get over it…in two-three years….
GET ME A TISSUE!!sobs and rolls on the ground
