The house which was more so a mansion was painted white but trimmed with gold. The architecture was phenomenal. It was honestly a true piece of art in itself and there it stood. It stood in the nicest subdivision in Retroville and overlooked the entire neighborhood.
Cindy's green eyes widened at the sight of the building
"Whoaaa, I can't believe I live here"
"Girl, you definitely have the coolest crib I've ever seen"
The girls walked down the long pathway that led to the door slowly for they were quite fascinated by the beautiful structure. They often stopped and stared trying to take it in all in at once.
Before they could knock on the door though a camera suddenly appeared zooming in on them
"Hello Welcome. Please state your reason for visiting." said a robotic voice
"Hi uh well.. I'm Cindy and this is my friend Libby and we're here to see Cynthia actually." She muttered nervously
The camera then disappeared back into its place of hiding
"So now what?"
Suddenly the door began to creak open
A man around his early twenties emerged.
His eyes were deep pools of blue and his chocolate brown hair fell on his forehead in a perfect wisp. His body was nicely toned and he stood around six feet.
"Look I'm sorry but we don't want any more girl scout cook-
He got a good look at the two girls standing before him and couldn't help but notice a very strange familiarity.
"Holy Heisenberg!
Cindy? Libby? Is that you?"
"Jimmy?!" They both cried
"Well I go by James now" he laughed remembering the old nickname
"But what brings you here? And where is my younger self at? I know I probably had something to do with this"
"Well your lil self kind of got us stuck here but he's back at the lab trying to fix his mess. So while we were waiting we were looking for Cynthia and older me… but speaking of Cynthia why are you in her house?"
James smiled
"Well I'll give you an explanation to that in a little but before I do I think you two should come in" he motioned while leading the way
"Hello, earth to Cindy, didn't you hear him? He said we can go in"
She suddenly snapped out of her daydream like state
"Oh right yeah, heh I knew that"
"Stop drooling, he's too old for you"
"I was not!" Cindy blushed
"Mhmm whatever you say"
"Yo Jimmy whatever happened to your invisible thingamajig?"
He looked at Sheen curiously
"You mean the invisibility shield?"
"Yeah that's the one, it's not here" he said pointing to the empty place holder
"What do you mean it's not here?"
He was stunned. The invisibility shield which was a watch designed to keep the wearer invisible at a click of a button had disappeared. It if wasn't for the unfortunate circumstance of this situation he might of actually thought the irony was humorous. The genius then tried to rule out all of the possibilities.
Well he knew Sheen obviously didn't have it
He looked over at the large boy who was busy shooting a beam at his chair
"Carl did you just turn my chair into cheese?"
"Mmmm gouda feta, wanna try some Jim?"
"Eh no thanks"
Well no way Carl took the shield either
The only other people that were in his lab were the girls.
Could they possibly have taken it?
But what would they even need it for?
The girls stood in awe at the gorgeous chandelier hanging right above them. This home was just as beautiful inside as it was on the outside. The well decorated interior gave it a sense of elegance but also a homey feel.
They patiently waited on the white leather couch as James returned from the kitchen handing them lemonades.
"Well looks like I have some explaining to do huh? He smiled as he handed Cindy a glass
As she took the glass, she accidentally made eye contact with him.
Those electrifying blue eyes made her melt and she couldn't help but be infatuated with him.
But before he could say anything else a curvy blonde woman appeared greeting him with a kiss
"Hey babe" she said smiling
Suddenly the girls recognized who the woman was and put two and two together
"I MARRY JIMMY?" Cindy said her jaw dropping
James and Cynthia both started laughing
"I sooo knew you liked him" Libby giggled joining in with the others
Cindy turned the deepest shade of red
"It's okay, he isn't so bad once you get used to him but still a show off though" Cynthia grinned
"Hey if I remember correctly you were the definite show off last night when you tried to-"
"Not around the kids, James" she glared
Cindy analyzed her older self. She actually grew up to be very beautiful. Cynthia wore her blonde hair down from the usual ponytail and the tresses flowed freely down her back. They were different but still alike in many ways. Cynthia was more sensible than she was but still displayed an air of dominance. One thing Cindy really admired though was her self assurance. She radiated confidence and it made Cindy wonder how long it took for her to be that comfortable with herself.
"So any ways what did you girls want to talk about?"
Millions of questions plagued their mind
"So what do I do as a career?" Cindy shot
"Where am I at? and are we still friends?" Libby chirped in
"What college did I end up going to?"
"What was Middle School like?"
What about High School? What was that like?"
The woman put her hand up motioning for them to stop
"Hold up! Hold up! Not all at once you two"
"To answer Libby's questions, Yes of course we're still best friends and you're probably busy. Being a famous fashion designer is hard work ya know" she winked
"And Cindy, you went to Yale and you're now a prominent lawyer with her own law firm"
"Not Harvard, But Yale is perfectly fine" Cindy smiled reassuringly
"However, middle and high school were definitely filled with lots of adventures that I'm not going to ruin for you, You'll just have to find out for yourselves"
"Aww" they sighed in unison
"Oh high school, those were some good days" James smirked
"They really were"
Cynthia wrapped her arms around him and nuzzled her head against his chest
Cindy felt a little jealous, but was she going crazy? Why was she jealous of her own self? She tried to repress the feelings. She really did like James but only because she liked Jimmy. Wait.. No this was Neutron for crying out loud! The boy that was her rival. The boy that competed with her in everything. The boy that she couldn't stand. But also the boy with the blue eyes and warm smile. The boy who challenged her to be her best. The boy who grew up to be quite a man.
The blonde girl's thoughts were then interrupted by a loud ringing
"I'll be right back guys I have to take this" She said walking away abruptly
"Hey, what's up?"
"Cindy….
We're all in grave danger"
