I don't own Jimmy Neutron...and I never will...So I'll write fanfiction instead!
Chapter 3: Revenge
Without another word, Jimmy and his friends headed down the hall with the other students. As the three boys entered the cafeteria, Betty Quinlan caught sight of them and waved. Immediately Jimmy practically melted into a puddle on the floor while the smiling Betty headed casually over to where he stood.
"Hey, Jimmy!" she greeted him. "I was thinking…it's too bad the whole Happy Show thing never worked out. So, maybe you could come over to my house after school…and we'll watch something else."
Dazed, Jimmy was left speechless for a moment before he found his voice. He opened his mouth, appearing about to accept the invitation, when Sheen loudly interfered.
"Jimmy! What are you doing?"
"Yeah, Jim. We don't like girls, remember?" Carl reminded.
"Huh?" Jimmy shook his head and snapped out of his trance. Suddenly, he remembered his Mood Alternator. "Uh…I'd love to, Betty, but I actually have something important I'm working on right now…" He grinned up at her. "Maybe a different time?"
Betty smiled again. "All right," she agreed. "See you later."
Mouth agape, Jimmy stared after her until Sheen dragged him away.
At a nearby table, Cindy watched Jimmy and Betty with anger and disappointment growing inside her. If her eyes could shoot lasers, they would be burning a hole in Betty's back right at that moment! She turned to Libby, who was sitting across from her.
"Look at Spewtron drool in front of Little Miss Perfect!" she scoffed. "He has absolutely no dignity."
"Come on, girl!" Libby responded. "We all know that if he was standin' and droolin' over you instead of Betty, you wouldn't mind."
"That's not true!" Cindy defended herself.
Libby gave her friend a skeptical look. "Sure, it's not."
As Libby returned to her lunch, Cindy smiled nervously and picked at her food, but she couldn't eat. Just the thought of Betty and Jimmy made her sick to her stomach. She hated Betty more than even she could put into words. But somehow, she was going to do something about it. Someday, she would take care of Betty Quinlan...
At that moment, several carefully hidden figures were watching the kids in the cafeteria.
"Ha!" one of the mysterious forms exclaimed. "Look at them stuff their faces in an unconcerned manner that is carefree! But soon my vengeance shall strike swift as the eagle, and furious as the fury of the Chosen One!"
"But, Yoo-Yee," another voice pointed out, "you are not the—"
Yoo-Yee punched the other man, immediately silencing him.
"Shut your mouth hole!" Yoo-Yee ordered. "I am more the Chosen One than he who calls himself 'Chosen One'! All he does is put his leg behind his head! If he did not have that friend whose hair is like the mountain, he would never have lasted one moment in combat against me!" Yoo-Yee turned away and began musing aloud. "I must begin planning a plan that will be amazing! Soon the Chosen One and all his friends will know the fury of the man-bird!"
Again, one of the ninjas interrupted. "Yoo-Yee…"
"Silence! I am trying to talk to myself!" Yoo-Yee snapped. Rubbing his chin and quickly darting his eyes around, he continued his "conversation". "Hmm…perhaps now I should return to the machine that flies! There I may plan in peace."
I hope this is sparking a bit more interest. The suspense is building anyway. At least, in my opinion it is, but you can't always believe the opinion of a crazy person. :-) But, darn it all, being crazy is awesome!!!
