Hey! Thanks for the favorites, follows, and reviews! :D
Sorry for the short chapter.
Cindy looked around Jimmy's room.
"If I were Jimmy, where would I hide a secret tunnel?"
She tapped her chin and squinted, eying the posters with growing curiosity. Tentatively, she neared one of the Periodic Table. Goddard let out a growl and stood up. Cindy eyed him with apprehension.
"You don't tell Jimmy about this and when we're dating one day, I'll convince him to make you a poodle."
The metal dog sat. Cindy turned back to the poster and raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm, so with the way you were reacting, I'd say this is probably it."
She pushed it up, revealing a metal door and a big red button. Goddard backed away with a whimper. Cindy rolled her eyes.
"What are you so afraid of?"
She pressed the button and was immediately sucked into the door with a scream.
~Monday, 2005, 5:35 PM; Jimmy's lab ~
Cindy landed on her butt on the cold ground of the lab.
"That, apparently," she grumbled, getting up and striding over to a table.
"Now…what was it that he told me to get?"
~flashback~
'When you're in my body, you're going to need to get down into my lab,' Jimmy told her. 'There's a pretty easy to find entrance in my room.'
Cindy lay back on her bed, looking at the clock. It was twenty minutes to five, which is when they'd put their plan into action.
"What am I supposed to be looking for down their?" she inquired.
"When I was eight, I wanted to make a time capsule that could pass back and forth through time. I had the bases of it finished by this time; however when the Yolkians trashed my lab they destroyed it."
Cindy shrugged, uninterested, before remembering he couldn't see her. She said, "What's your point?"
'Using the telepathy machine hooked up to the memory machine is using up most of my electricity, which I could be using to find a solution to our problem. I propose that you finish building the time capsule and we use that to communicate instead.'
She tapped her chin. "That does make sense, and it would be less invasive of my privacy…I'm in."
~End Flashback~
Cindy snooped through the shelves, searching for the cylinder shaped machine.
"Let's see," she hummed, running her finger along the names of the inventions as she passed them. "NeutroGunk, Book Gum, Brain Drain 8000, JuiceBot 3000, Time Machine Microwave, Neutronic Burping Soda, Invisible Hamsters, Shoebot, Shrink Ray, Girl-Eating Plant-I knew that was him-, ahh here we are…the Neutronic Time Pod. "
She picked it up. The steel contraption could hardly be called a machine; it was simply a skeleton, and still needed a lot of work…
She checked Jimmy's watch; ten minutes to six. That was usually around the time that Jimmy's mom called him to-
"Jimmy! Dinner time," a motherly sounding voice echoed over Cindy's head.
Cindy put down the device and walked back to the entrance.
"Oh well, I'll work on it tomorrow," she mumbled, pressing the big red button and bracing herself for the sucking. It pulled her in and she bit back another scream.
~Monday, 2005, 6:00 PM; Neutron dining room~
Nervously, Cindy sat down beside Jimmy's parents. Mrs. Neutron smiled brightly as she dished out the spaghetti.
"How was school today sweetheart?" the woman asked warmly.
Cindy smiled weakly. "Just fine, Mrs. Neutr- I mean, Mom," she said, pushing around her food.
After a few tense minutes, Cindy pushed back her chair. "I'm full," she muttered before turning and walking out of the room. Once out of their sight, Cindy ran up the stairs and into Jimmy's room.
It was hardly past six, but she was suddenly exhausted. And homesick. It was her first night in the past and she didn't even get to spend it in her own bed.
She lay down, pulling Jimmy's comforter around her. His sent was familiar and soothing.
"I wanna go home," she mumbled, before drifting into an uneasy sleep.
~Monday, 2005, 6:15 PM; Jimmy's bedroom~
I know this is extremely short and you guy are probably furious with me…But I'm in the middle of a Jimmy Neutron writing block. I start school next week and I'm stressed about that, not to mention the category three typhoon coming my way…It took me forever to even get this much down…But I'm not abandoning this story.
Please review!
