Chapter 2: Trust your feelings, Got to Live and Learn
(Jimmy's POV)
It's been 20 minutes straight that I've been running, and I feel like Cindy's right behind me. I gotta keep going, but I have to hide because I can't go on forever. I don't know where to go though. Can't go home since that's where I came from, or Carl's and Sheen's. They're probably knocked out. Maybe I can hide in the Candy Bar... Nah. Unless I buy something (which I don't have money for), Sam would rat me out. Gotta think of something, and hopefully soon.
Next thing I see is Retroland. Well, it's worth a shot, I suppose. Without a second thought, I head into the amusement park. I see the ride I want to go on. I was lucky to find a Fastpass lying on the ground. Man, it's like someone's helping me...or luring me into a trap. I take the Fastpass without a second thought. I'm in that line, with only a few people ahead of me.
"Escuse me?" a feminine voice from behind asked tapping my shoulder.
"Whoa!" I pull away turning around in shock, only to realize it wasn't Cindy thankfully. Sure the voice sounded similar, but she looked completely different. "...Er, what can I do for you?" I then realize it was Tina Sue from Lindburgh School. I don't talk to her much, but I wonder what she needs me for? I already got enough problems, but I can't help but wonder.
"I come to send you a warning. I heard about Cindy having ownership of you from seeing it from a distance on the way to the park. She's closing in on you, at the Bat Outta Heck ride, which you are at now. Good luck!" And with that, Tina left.
If what she says is true, then I hope a ride comes soon. I cannot risk myself under her ownership. I don't know what she'll do to me, but whatever it is, it can't be good.
My thoughts were immediately cut off my a distinct voice I could recognize just about anywhere. "Neutron. I own you and I order you to come here, before I go and get you myself!"
I couldn't believe my luck. I was next in line and the ride was right there. I take the ride and leave shouting, "Better luck next time!" Little did I know that it would be my last few minutes of supposed freedom.
A few minutes of fun and suspense has passed, and I run as fast as I can out of there, only to run into Libby. Just who I needed to see...
"Jimmy, I have been told about your predicament. I'm going to take you under her custody," Libby said.
Before she has a chance to grab me, I dart straight for the park's restrooms, and I hide away in one of the stalls. Then I heard a voice I kinda recognized,"Neutron,what are you doing here?"
"Before I answer, who are you?" I asked suspiciously.
"It's me Ike, now are you gonna tell me or not?" he wondered.
"Alright, I gotta find a place to escape before Cindy or Libby catch me."
"Okay, what'd ya do this time?"
"Long story short, she bought me at an auction a robot put me in, and I gotta find a way to get outta here, which seems possible. Can you do me a favor?"
"...Sure man. Whatcha need?"
"Can you tell Sheen and Carl to think of a way to rescue me?"
"Alright. I can do that."
With that, Ike left. The door opened again, moments later with footsteps nearing my stall. I really hoped it wasn't who I think it was.
"Neutron. You didn't really think I wouldn't come in here to find you did you?" That voice confirmed it to me Cindy.
I was in shock that she was this desperate to catch me. "W-well I..." Rembering my jetpack, I run out of the stall avoiding Cindy's attempt at reaching me. "Gotta Blast!" The moment I turn it on it's out of fuel. I make a mental facepalm.
"Hehe," walking backwards, "let's talk about this like civilized people."
"You had your fun Neutron, but I'm afraid you have to face the music. You're mine now." She grabs me, forces my mouth open, and poors a drug of some kind into it. Next thing I know, everything looks very colorful, and there are 3 Cindys laughing at me. My body feels lightheaded, and everything goes black.
