Don't own Jimmy Neutron...
Chapter 4: Surprise!
His mind still racing from his talk with Cindy, Jimmy entered his lab.
"This place is a mess!" He exclaimed, "I'll never find a cure for Cindy in here!"
Jimmy began picking up the remnants of the accident with the Drone Machine.
He jumped as a loud explosion went off to his left, sending bits of debris flying everywhere. Jimmy ducked, narrowly avoiding his head getting knocked off by a large sheet of metal flying towards him towards him.
"What the heck is going on?" He shouted, as he watched his mechanical dog reassemble itself.
Hello Master. I was working on the blueprints for the Poodle when I heard you coming down. I thought I would surprise you.
"You didn't just surprise me, YOU NEARLY KILLED ME!" Jimmy yelled. "You should be more careful. What has gotten into you recently? No matter, I've more important things to deal with. Come on. You can help me clean up."
Okay. Then can we build the poodle?
Jimmy just shook his head and began picking up bits of debris. Seriously, what was up with this dog?
When they finished cleaning, Jimmy headed to the large computer and began his research on the cures of paralysis.
"Just great," he moaned,"It seems as though there are no known cures for paralysis. What do I do now?" He wondered aloud. "Goddard, give me some options... And please try to be serious. My life might be on the line."
I will try.
Jimmy just sighed, a resigned himself to his fate as he anxiously awaited his friend's 'advice.'
Write a letter to world famous scientists, complaining about their lack of successful scientific research, explaining in full how lazy and stupid they are for not finding a cure.
"You said you would be serious!" The scientist reminded. "I can't do that anyway! I would be betraying my fellow scientists! Next."
Ask your parents to help.
"Are you kidding me? Dad doesn't even know what I'm saying half the time. Besides, mom would ground me for messing with her kitchen appliances...again. Next."
Ask your friends.
"No, they wouldn't be much help," Jimmy decided. "Carl's too scared or something, Sheen's just, well...Sheen is Sheen, and Libby - Oh my Gosh! Libby! I told her I'd call as soon as Cindy woke up! I completely forgot. She's gonna kill me!"
The young genius was pacing back and forth, becoming more agitated with himself each second.
"I'm such an idiot! I'm gonna go call her now and check on Cindy while I'm upstairs. Goddard, keep researching paralysis, I'll be back soon.
Jimmy turned and headed for the door.
How could I have been so stupid? he silently rebuked himself, The girl of my dreams is upstairs paralyzed, and I can't even remember to call her best friend!
JImmy paused for a moment.
Did I really just refer to Cindy as the 'girl of my dreams'? I must really be going mad!
"I hate Cindy!" He exclaimed aloud.
Then why is she upstairs in your room? And why are you going through all this trouble to find a cure for her? asked Goddard, with what could have a smirk on his mechanical face.
"No one asked you!" Jimmy retorted. "Besides, didn't I tell you to keep researching?"
As Jimmy once again turned towards the stairs, he thought over what his canine friend had said. Why was he going through all this trouble for a girl he supposedly hated? Could it be that maybe he actually liked her?
But it can't be, can it? Could it be that I am, once again, falling in love with Cindy Vortex?
Jimmy pushed the thought out of his head. It was too illogical. But all the same, there was a little voice, nagging in his head as he went to check on Cindy.
Once again, I am sorry about the length. I am not a writer, I am a reader. Please comment!
