Something Special - Chapter Two
I decided to add another chapter. I wasn't satisfied because Cindy and Jimmy never were really nice to each other at the beginning of the series, and I wanted to continue this to show how the arguing began and such. So this will probably be a mini-series. This chapter will be Jimmy's POV of when he met Cindy, then the next chapter will be what happens next, etc. Please enjoy and review!
DISCLAIMER: Me no own Jimmy.
A young James Neutron was watching the houses go by out of the window of his parents' car. He looked behind him and saw the moving truck following closely behind. He sighed. He truly loathed moving to this town. Now he would have to find all new friends. Hew was perfectly content with the ones in his old town. Sure, a few people at his school made fun of him because he was genius, but he still had a few true friends. Now they were gone, too. He loved his old home. He felt so safe there. Now he was going to a new house. It just wouldn't be the same.
"Jimmy, dear, this is our street. We're almost to our new home!" Judy Neutron said happily, looking back fondly at her only son.
He sighed again. His mother would just never understand his grief, and especially not his father. He looked at the houses he passed. They sure were bigger than in his hometown. Although he would gladly trade for a smaller house if it meant going back to stay with his friends. But he knew that would never happen. The kids here were probably a lot meaner, and would treat him even worse.
Judy turned around again and said gladly, "Look, Jimmy, this is our new house! Isn't it just lovely?"
"Yeah, Mom, it looks great," he said, trying to fake a smile. His new house was nice, but nothing compared to how wonderful his old home was. He missed it so much. He would just have to deal with Retroville.
He peered at his neighbors' houses. The house right across the street looked a little bigger than his own. He only hoped they had a son. Maybe then he could be friends with him. He would have to figure that out once he got settled in.
They had finally pulled into the driveway and Jimmy got out and ran inside. He was curious about his room.
His father yelled, "Jimbo! What's the rush, son?"
"Going to see my new room, Dad!" he said before shutting the door behind him. He ran up the stairs and looked down the hall. He saw where his room was supposed to be and went straight to it. It was of decent size. He only wished the furniture was already up there.
He looked out of the window and watched the house across the street for any glimpse of his new neighbors.
He saw that there was a window on the house around the same placement as his own. He tried his best to see into it, but couldn't see a thing. But then, he noticed a wisp of blonde hair. He only saw it for a moment, but it was such a wonderful shade. It was golden-yellow like the sun's rays. The person then disappeared from the window. He needed to find out who it was.
He explored the rest of his new house, then helped his parents and the movers with some boxes. He unpacked the ones in his room, and the movers brought up his bed, dresser, and nightstand, along with the other furniture. He was mostly unpacked and was about to head downstairs for something to eat, when his mother called from downstairs, "Hugh! Jimmy! Come here for a minute and meet one of our neighbors!"
Jimmy sighed. Why did he already have to meet his neighbors? He grudgingly walked down the hall and stairs. He saw that his father had beaten him to the door. He was talking when Jimmy walked into the doorway.
He couldn't believe his eyes. She was gorgeous. He saw her hair, that same shade he saw in the window, styled into the most adorable pigtails. That must be her. Her eyes were deep green, like a forest. She was wearing a button-up pink blouse, and black pants. He could tell right away that she wasn't as shallow as the other girls he'd come to know. She looked intelligent and independent.
He'd never felt like this. Ever. An unusual emotion. His palms became sweaty, he was nervous, and his heart was racing. What was this?
He tried to stay calm and he smiled. He shakily reached out his hand and said quietly, "Hi. I'm Jimmy."
After a second or two, she reached out also and shook his hand. It was electrifying. His heart seemed to stop momentarily. Then she responded, equally as quiet, "H-hi. I'm C-cindy Vortex."
She smiled back. Cindy. Her name was almost as beautiful as she was. How did she have such an effect on him? It was like he was under a spell. He heard his parents go inside to put the pie Cindy had given them in the kitchen. Now it was Jimmy and Cindy alone.
He stared at her. He tried to get rid of his nervousness, but was unable. He looked into her limpid green eyes, and she just looked right back at him. It was the most amazing feeling. They stayed there for a moment, hands still together, until she loosened her grip. He came back to reality and let go also.
They looked around for a moment until she broke the silence, "Uhh… so how do you like Retroville so far?"
He controlled himself and responded with as much confidence as he could muster, "I think I'm going to have a very interesting time here," he smiled, "I like it."
She instantly smiled back. Oh how he adored that smile already. The moment was ruined when Mrs. Neutron suddenly yelled, "James Isaac Neutron! Clean up after your little dog right this instant!"
"Sorry Cindy, I have to go. See you around," he said. He then smiled again, waved at her, and turned around and went back into his house. He walked into the living room where his mother and robotic dog stood.
He obeyed his mother and cleaned up after his dog, Goddard, but the whole time his thoughts were on the blonde haired, green eyed girl that lived across the street. Then he knew that Retroville wasn't the horrible place he thought it would be. He had a really good feeling about Retroville, and especially that Cindy Vortex.
There you go, Jimmy's point of view when he meets Cindy. I'm more satisfied with this than with Cindy's point of view, actually. Please review and tell me whether or not to continue, and who's point of view. Thanks a lot!
