Cindy couldn't believe what is happening. Sure her life was saved, but what good is it now? There's one thing worse than not hanging out with your friends, or being ignored by your crush:

When that crush was saving someone else instead of you.

Cindy then screamed in fear and anger. She then said, "How can Neutron not notice this?! I was about to die, and he was at the party?! That's the most selfish thing he's ever done!" She even used hand and arm gestures, expressing her angry emotion.

Dexter rubbed his chin in thought and thought in his head, "Of course! Mandark wants me to be blamed for the deaths of his friends! Which means that when Cindy was trapped here, Mandark must've set the bomb earlier, because he must be trying to trick Jimmy!"

Dexter then said, "Well, Cindy, they're at the warehouse. Both Mandark and Jimmy."

Cindy looked furious, and glared at Dexter and snapped, "WHY?!"

Dexter then replied, "Well, Mandark has your classmates and my classmates and Dee Dee's classmates hostage, at the warehouse, and we have 10 minutes and 9 seconds to get there until the Warehouse explodes!"

Normally, Cindy would be scared, but, this time, she was too furious to care, Jimmy saving his friends before his secret friend?! She felt as if Jimmy was being selfish, that old wounds were still opened.

Cindy then yelled from the top of her lungs, "NEUTRON!"

Dexter replied, "Calm down! Meet me back at the laboratory, speaking of which, how did you get kidnapped?"

Cindy took a deep breath and said, "Well, well I've been trying to talk to Jimmy about how he's being unfair about not spending any time in San Diego with his friends, and then, this happened!"

Dexter rolled his eyes, and replied, "Whatever, we need to go to the warehouse, there's no telling what Mandark's doing!" Dexter was on to something, but what was it?

Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Jimmy was beaten and battered, lying in pain, with his shirt torn, his shoes dirtied, his nose bleeding, his hair messy, his eyes bruised, and exausted. He groaned in pain as the shock collar was weakening him. Mandark stood over Jimmy in triumph. Jimmy struggled to get up, he then grunted, "Mandark, please stop!"

Mandark chuckled darkly and said, "No, Neutron, since Cindy's blown up by now, you'll be the next to go, and so will be Dexter!"

Jimmy then weakly tried to grab the shock collar, confusing Mandark, Jimmy managed to grab the shock collar, and grunted in struggle.

Mandark smirked darkly, and replied, "Nice try, Neutron! That collar's indestructible!" Jimmy, through sheer will, manages to rip off the collar, suprising Mandark. Mandark then said, "Woah! Did not see that one coming!" Jimmy then slowly started to rise, and made fists with his hands, he had the glare of a tiger, furious about being nearly killed.

Then, Dexter jumped from the windows and landed on his feet, shocking Mandark. Dexter angrily squinted at Mandark and said, "It's over, Mandark!"

Mandark then smiled sickly and said, "It hasn't even begun, Dexter!" Mandark then laughed. He continued, "I best be on my way, now, Dexter and Jimmy, because in a few minutes, this place will blow up!" Mandark laughs as he leaves the area. Everyone's toast now!

The caged students look in worryment. What are they going to do?!

Then, Dexter grabs a Nintendo DS, and starts to press buttons randomly. Jimmy angrily said, "Now's not the time to play games, Dex!"

However, the cells opened, and then, the students ran off, in a hurry, running over Jimmy. Then, Jimmy slowly started to get up. Dexter then said, "What? You never seen a encryption remote?"

Jimmy rolled his eyes, and said, "Shut up."

The students tried to look for somewhere to go, as the building's about to blow up! Jimmy and Dexter ran out of there, and with time to spare, too!

Jimmy then sighed, and replied in relief, "Thank goodness. For a second there, I was worried I might be in huge trouble."

Cindy's voice was then heard, she then said, "There you are! You have a lot of explaining to do!" Everyone turned their attention and saw Cindy walking towards Jimmy, angrily.

She continued, "I was about to be killed, and you pick your friends over me?! That is the most selfish, inconsiderate, idiotic thing you probably ever done in your life, Nerd-tron!"

Jimmy was surprised, as she repeatedly poked the boy genius. She stopped as Jimmy tried to get her to calm down. Jimmy replied, "I'm sorry, but I didn't know you were kidnapped! I-"

Cindy interrupted and said, "You didn't know?! Oh, please! You knew what you were trying to do, you were just trying to save Betty first because you're in love. How could you do this to me? Why would you leave me to die?! Either way, thanks for showing me that you don't care about me!"

"Cindy, I do care about you, just calm down..." Jimmy said, concerned.

"Oh, please, if you really cared that much about me, you'd save the one you love first instead of the one you just have a crush on instead!" Cindy then said.

"Cindy, I didn't know you-"

"You know, Neutron, don't bother! Go ahead be with Betty, I'll just enjoy California, without you!" Cindy interrupted, rudely, then Cindy started to storm off, heartbroken about that Jimmy picked his friends over her, and with a secret crush on Jimmy, it's really hard.

Jimmy was surprised, and felt worried about Cindy. He unknowingly broke Cindy's heart.

Carl said, "That was intense."

Then the ware house exploded, startling everyone, then Carl said, "Wait, did we forget sheen?"

Sheen was heard again, "I'm okay! I fell into a hole in the floor."

What is Cindy so mad about? Jimmy and Cindy aren't exactly marriage material, they're like Jerry and Beth in a way, but that was before the whole inter-dimensional council incident. Jimmy will have to think about this.

Speaking of which, Mandark was in his lab, angrily making adjustments to an exoskeleton type of invention.

Then, Eustace entered the lab, breathing heavily.

Eustace then angrily said, "Well, I hope you're happy!"

Mandark then paused what he was doing, and then turned around and glared at him. He talked back, "If I were, Doctor, you'd never know it!"

Eustace then angrily walked to Mandark and then said, "How dare you? I got myself beaten to a pulp! And those insignificant brats are still alive!"

"It was a perfect plan, how was I supposed to know that this wouldn't plan out like expected?" Mandark shrugged innocently. "There's always a plan B, it's time to show you the Exoskeleton..."

Mandark then grinned sinisterly.

Meanwhile at the Cindy's hotel room, Cindy was silently crying. She couldn't believe it, the one she secretly loves forgot her.

"Look at you." A voice was heard. Cindy looked and noticed her past self was back, even though she's just a vision, Past Cindy is like a ghost haunting her. "You survived worse."

Cindy scoffed as she rolled her eyes.

Past Cindy crazily said, "This isn't about that pathetic little explosion. It's about the fact that you nearly got killed! You know, Jimmy has never lost one of his friends, because they matter to him. Sure, he's made a lot of enemies, but what happens when the others try to talk to you? Maybe they will berate you... Or is that what you want?"

"No..." Cindy sighed.

Later that night at the hotel, Jimmy was in his room, sharing it with Carl and Sheen.

Carl and Sheen were excited, excited as they were when the Colts beat the Patriots to go to Super Bowl XLI.

Carl then said, "This is going to be a night to remember, huh, guys?"

Sheen replies, "I know! First hotel sleepover, and everyone's invited!"

The 2 best buds laughed in excitement.

Jimmy wasn't paying attention, he looked at the city, thinking in sadness, he thought, "Wow, I must have crossed the line this time. Usually, she tries to take care of herself, but she really needed to be saved today? What am I going to do, I'm in a lot of trouble right now, Mandark is trying to kill me, Eustace wants revenge, and there's something fishy going on." Then Jimmy started to have a curious look on his face, he continued to think, "Wait, everyone at school won a ticket, Mandark attempted to take our lives, wait a minute!"

After a second, Jimmy started to have a glare of realization, and thought, "Leapin' electrons! Mandark set this whole thing up! Why is it always scum like you that want revenge for being put in your place?! Well, guess what, tomorrow, I'm putting you back in your place, Eustace!"
