Jimmy Neutron: Teen Genius in

Chapter 4

"UltraQueen to the rescue"

It's been a few days since Sheen brought Betty Quinlan into a hug, causing Libby to stare doumbfounded. But mostly, what concerned Jimmy and his friends was that Sheen started staring into space more often. This was typical of him, to the extreme of calling it something normal. Although there was some hint of high depression on Sheen's face. He could hide his red blood shot eyes, and the bags under his eyes because he was watching too much TV but the consumed irises and the lack of emotion or interest in everything, even eating, brought more concern. It was the event that followed at school that made Sheen confess his feelings. Professor Gut brought him to Earth poking a piece of chalk over his head.

"Hey! Cut it out!" Sheen cried.

"And may I ask, why is that Mr Estevez?" Professor Gut asked.

"I dunno... maybe bacause it bugs me and I want to stare into space if you don't mind!" Sheen screamed.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I thought we were in History class and I thought you can do what you want after I call to recess!" Professor Gut screamed at him.

Sheen was red from anger. "Nobody tells me what to do or-MPPH!" He couldn't finish as Jimmy put a hand over his mouth and Carl opened the door as a struggling Sheen was dragged outside class by Libby and Cindy. Jimmy followed suit.

Jimmy just adressed the professor with a "if you excuse us, we'll be back in a moment".

Professor Gut sighed heavily as the class laughed. He walked over to his desk. "Now where did I put my detention sheets?"

The kids found an empty classroom and dragged Sheen inside. While Sheen was staring at them, Libby sent him a cold glare and folded her arms over her chest while the others assumed guard positions at the door.

"Ok start talking" Libby ordered.

Sheen sighed. "There's nothing to talk. I'm not in the mood so can we drop this?"

Libby approached him and cupped his cheek with her right hand. She looked at him with puppy adorable eyes. "Tell me, please. I'm worried, I've never seen you so down and we've just rescued you two weeks ago. I don't wanna lose you for good!"

"You wouldn't understand, ok!" He screamed, desperated.

Libby dropped the puppy act and frowned. "What is there to understand? You lost your planet, and if you weren't rescued then you would be cosmic powder!"

"I had a girlfriend there! There! I said it!" Sheen cried, but put a hand over his mouth as he realized his mistake.

Libby just nodded. Her eyes watered but no one could see her cry as she rushed to the door.

Carl attempted to stop her. "Access denied-OOFF!" he cried as Libby punched him on the stomach and let herself out, while Carl doubled over in pain. Cindy waved at Jimmy and Sheen and followed Libby.

Jimmy approached Sheen. "Way to go, genius. You just lost your planet and Libby in the proccess".

Sheen sent him a glare. "When's everyone going to care how I feel? When I stop going to school and stare into space in my own room forever? Huh?!"

"Look Sheen. You either talk to us because we're your friends even though we haven't seen each other in two years or you can let Libby get a new boyfriend and have a new life. Because she sure won't accept you like this" Jimmy added.

"Why? What happened to her?" Sheen asked.

Jimmy sighed. "After you dissapeared... she had kind of a let down. She was so glad to have you around, and she took a more I'll say 'different approach' to you because you stopped watching Ultralord" he said putting the enphasis with two fingers.

Sheen was sudenly staring with his mouth wide hanging open. "You... you mean I-"

"She likes you..." Carl chimed in. "My scapula! Not again!" He cried as he cracked a bone and stormed out to the Infirmary.

"What Carl said..." Jimmy supported, looking as red as a tomato.

"Awww man!" He moaned. "But what can I do now? She won't forgive me. I'm such a screw up! I demand to know why I screwed up! Right now!" He screamed.

Everyone who heard this rant popped his head inside.

"Because you're an idiot!" Mr Nesmith said.

"Because you're a three year old in a body of a seventeen old guy" Butch added.

"Because you think UltraLord is still cool" Nick added.

"BEcauSe YOU CAN'T finish a math homework right! BRAWWK!" Ms Fowl added.

"Because you're like suck at activities worse than I do" Britney added.

"Because we know you and we know you're an hyperactive moron and that's who you are and if you don't apologize to Libby you're gonna get screwed up! Period!" Cindy chimed in and warned him with a fist on the air. "Hi James!" she waved at Jimmy and giggled. Jimmy waved her back.

Sheen sighed. "Hey Matt!" He screamed at a 13 year old tanned skin kid who just happened to walk by. His leather jacket and jeans moved back and forth, along with his Nike's while he was listening to blues. He usually wore sunglasses all the time and he had a rasta haircut. "Have you seen your sister?!"

Matt just shrugged nonchataly.

"Maybe she just ran out of school..." Carl suggested.

Jimmy gasped surprised. "Carl, why would she do that?"

"Well Cindy used to do that when you behaved like a douchebag to her and-OW!" he was cut off when Jimmy smacked him hard on the head. "My scapula!"

"Thanks Carl. Now HE knows and you just scared his brains out!" Jimmy screamed at him. He adressed Sheen. "Maybe Libby is in the Library. She sometimes spends her time with Cindy there or just listens to music".

Sheen stared questioningly at Jimmy first, but nodded. He calmly walked out of the classroom. He searched for the Library and he was close to enter when the door smacked hard on his face.

"Sheen! You alright?!" Libby worriedly asked him when she found him on the floor.

"Have you seen the license of the-Libby! Shit you have a strong hand!" Sheen cried as he complained about his jawline.

Libby giggled. "It was the door, doofus!".

Sheen stood up and removed the dust on his pants and shirt. He looked straight at her and he couldn't contain himself. He brought a surprised Libby into a hug.

"I'm sorry Libs. I should've never told you about Aseefa. She wasn't you." Sheen said. "She wasn't my girlfiend either. But that day, I was going to tell her."

Libby broke the hug and looked at him, confused. "Why are you telling me this? You're not to blame. You were stuck in a planet far away for two years and you had the right to do what you wanted. It was Jimmy's fault back then".

"Well I thought you would calm down with this information" Sheen suggested.

"I've just told you" Libby said.

"Maybe, but maybe you've grown up jealous, My Queen" he smiled at her.

"Shut up" she smacked playfully at him. "Maybe... maybe I'm jealous yeah."

"Wha-what are you doing?" He asked nervous as he saw Libby was playfully placing her headphones over his own head.

"I'm your Queen and I'm making you my King" she said as she placed a quick kiss on Sheen's lips.

The feeling of her lips on his own was like sugar to him. A new flow of emotions grew over him as he knew she would be his UltraQueen for a long long time.
