So I hope no one hats me for the long wait, but like I said patience is key. I wonder if anyone was really excited or eager to read this chapter after 2 months of waiting? Eh, maybe and maybe not. Onto the story!
Days after Norvice and Aamir got their mega modes the Nicktoons team slowly reassembled. Jimmy was out of his depression and almost done with his hyper speed armor. He also got back together with Cindy. Timmy became more open to the idea of re-joining their team and began hanging out with them more again. Danny and SpongeBob were equally excited with the fact that their team was slowly being revived.
Aamir and Norvice flew through the sky towards their HQ. Jimmy was pacing back and forth in the HQ excitedly. The other Jimmy was sitting down in a chair looking at a dirty and stained picture of him and Cindy."I can't wait for tonight, I mean I never even thought something like this would even happen to me!" Jimmy said outloud.
His smile disappeared when he saw the other Jimmy looking at the stained picture. "I wish I still had you." He said to the picture. A tear shedding from his eye as he wished the picture would speak back to him. Jimmy walked behind him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks." He said. The other Jimmy looked up and him and wiped the tear from his face. "I couldn't let the same thing happen to you." He said.
"It's been a relationship that everyone was waiting to happen." The other Jimmy said. "I never even knew she would actually like me." Jimmy said. "For so long I have had a crush on her, and I never told her because I always thought that she hated me." Jimmy said.
"But to find out that she likes me back? That's just amazing!" Jimmy said. "It made me realize how much I love her." Jimmy said.
"I missed her so much." Jimmy said. "I know you did." The other Jimmy said. "Do you think that she wanted to stay away from you?" The other Jimmy asked.
"She didn't want to see you in such a state of worry." He continued. This made Jimmy mentally slap himself due to the thought of him not getting together with her sooner than he had months ago. She was a lot more loyal than he thought. She really did love him.
Jimmy received a text from his phone. He looked at it and saw Cindy's name. He smiled inside and looked at the message, it read "Hey Jimmy! I can't wait for the dance tonight, a ton of people are going and I just wanted to talk to you. Can't wait to dance with you luv ya."
Jimmy smiled and put the replied to
her message. "We need to get your tux." The other Jimmy said. "Let's go." Jimmy said excited.
Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob had their own tuxedos. SpongeBob wore a light blue one, when Danny wore a light grey one, and Timmy wore a sleek black one. "This dance thing sounds exciting!" SpongeBob said. "Which is why we're going." Timmy said.
"You look handsome, Sport." Wanda said to Timmy and he turned around. "Thanks Wanda." He replied. "But not as handsome as I am!" Cosmo said hugging Wanda.
Timmy chuckled and shook his head. "Ok guys is everything set?" He asked Danny and SpongeBob. They both nodded, "Oh and Spongebob?" SpongeBob looked at him again.
"Don't be too outgoing, I mean people may be freaked out that you're a walking and talking sponge." Timmy said. "No problem." SpongeBob replied with an thumbs up. Timmy nodded.
"Cosmo, Wanda, I wish we were at Retroville." Timmy said. With no time at all, there was a poof and they were gone.
Aamir and Norvice arrived to the base with black tuxedos too. "Alright guys lets roll it out." Aamir said. Jimmy punched in coordinates to Retroville. The portal opened and they walked in, with the portal shutting behind them.
The appeared at Retroville near Jimmy's house. "I need to talk to my parents really quickly, I'll be back." He said running inside. "This may sound cheesy, but I'm really proud of him." The other Jimmy said.
"What makes you say that?" Norvice asked. "He just lives up to my expectations. We may be from different dimensions, but we still are the same person." He replied.
"Mainly Im proud of how he actually told Cindy how he felt about her." He added. "But you forced him to." Aamir said. "Ok maybe I gave him a bit of leverage, but he still did it." The other Jimmy said.
"And after the whole thing with them needing space, this dance will be the perfect thing to get them back together fully." He added. Jimmy came running back out. "Ok let's go." He said.
They walked to Cindy's house across the street. Jimmy was a little nervous as he stepped on her porch and rang her doorbell. The door open and the first thing Jimmy saw was a smiling woman. "Hi, Jimmy!" She said.
"Hello ." Jimmy greeted back. "Cindy come down, Jimmy is here." said. Jimmy looked at the steps of her house and his jaw dropped.
Cindy stood there before him with light blue mascara on her eyes. A long black dress, and her hair still tied in a large pony tail. Jimmy just stared at her in bewilderment, he had never seen her this pretty before. No, he had never seen her this beautiful before. She slowly walked up to him.
She lifted her hand and put it under his chin before closing his mouth. She chuckled once he blinked and noticed his mouth was even open, he chuckled with her. "Bring her back when the dance is over!" Her mom said. "I will." Jimmy replied smiling as he hugged Cindy.
They walked out together, holding hands. Cindy became a little confused once she saw the other Jimmy smiling at her, but she remembered that he existed as she usually forgot. "Ok guys lets go to the dance." Jimmy said. The dance was only a short walk away…
Jimmy, Cindy, Norvice, and Aamir met up with Danny, Timmy, Spongebob, Cosmo, and Wanda at the school, they all greeted each other.
"Cindy! It's nice to see you again! You look beautiful." Timmy said. That was enough to kick Jimmy's puppy guard instinct into gear as he gave Timmy a warning glance. "Hey man, she's mine." He said smirking.
Timmy took a step back and smiled, "Can't blame a guy for trying." He said in defeat. Cindy giggled, "Thanks, Timmy. You're really sweet." Timmy nodded. "So without further ado, shall we commence the doncing?" Spongebob asked in a fancy accent.
Everyone laughed, if there was something SpongeBob definitely was other than good, it was cosmic relief. Jimmy and Cindy led the way into the school. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof poofed into buttons on Timmy's tux. Danny followed SpongeBob in as SpongeBob followed Timmy.
Inside were tables lined up accordingly side by side with snacks such as fruit punch, lemonade, purple flurp, and more.
Teenagers were lined up all around inside socializing and dancing. "Come on, Jimmy let's dance!" Cindy urged. She pulled his arm and led him to the dance floor.
"I don't really dance, so I guess I'm just gonna stand here like a statue." Aamir said.
"Come on, Aamir. Let loose." Danny said.
"If I did let loose, it would look like a baby deer trying to jump around for the first time." Aamir replied.
"That bad?" Timmy asked.
Aamir nodded.
"Ok, then it may be better we don't see your 'skills'." Timmy said.
"My thoughts exactly." Aamir replied.
"Wow I feel famous, we're all the center of attention." Spongebob said.
Danny shook his head, "I think that's because we aren't from this dimension."
"I mean come on, dude. You're a sea sponge." Timmy said.
"Ok I see your point." Spongebob replied. "I wish Patrick were here. He'd be able to handle all this attention."
Timmy grabbed a cup of fruit punch and took a sip, "Or just attract more of it."
"Yeah ya know what? I'm just gonna make the best of this situation." Spongebob said walking over to the dance floor.
"Please tell me he's not gonna do what I think he's gonna do." Timmy said quickly forcing down the fruit punch.
"If you mean dance then yeah he's gonna do it." Norvice said.
Timmy winced, "I can't watch."
Spongebob entered the dance floor next to a dozen other couples who gave him slightly confused looks. "But then again this actually may be funny." Timmy added turning to Spongebob.
Spongebob was already on the floor spinning on the top of his head like a coin. Timmy's jaw dropped. Spongebob transferred from the spinning to doing the worm fluidly in one solid motion. But if that wasn't enough he pushed himself up with his arms and did a quick front flip before landing on his feet and crossing his arms. "Boom."
"What the?" Timmy said.
"That's right, Timmy. I'm still the Sponge!" Spongebob gloated.
"You mean the man?" Jimmy asked.
"Same thing."
"Not really."
"Let's just get back to dancing." Cindy interjected wrapping her arms around Jimmy.
"You said it sistah!" Spongebob said breakdancing once more.
Timmy sighed, "Well that wasn't what I was expecting."
Danny nodded, "Agreed." "But regardless let's just enjoy ourselves."
A slow dancing song came on and all of the couples who weren't on the dance floor got together and slow danced. Cindy rested her arms on Jimmy's shoulders as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "So, it looks like it's just you and me right now." Cindy said.
Jimmy shrugged, "Theoretically."
Cindy chuckled and rested the side of her head on Jimmy's shoulder. "I love you so much."
Jimmy set his chin on the top of her head and lightly smirked, "I love you more."
A moment went by with them both swaying back and forth to the music before something ran through Jimmy's mind. "Hey Cindy?"
"Hmm?" Cindy replied not moving.
"Did you mean everything you said to me back when we were little?"
Cindy moved her head to look Jimmy in the eyes, "You mean in the fourth grade?" Jimmy nodded.
"I said those nasty things only because I didn't want you to know how I actually felt about you."
"What did you mean when you called me 'A mistake'?"
Cindy chuckled, "I meant you were the best thing to come into my life."
"Mhmm. What about when you said you hated me all those times?" Jimmy smirked.
"No I meant it for a while." Cindy replied bluntly. "Oh." Jimmy said.
"But that was only the first few times because later on I only said it because it was the closest thing to saying I like you without it being noticeable." Cindy added.
"Thaaaaat's better." Jimmy said smiling.
Cindy shook her head.
Two hours of romantic, dancing, fun, later….
"So you still liking the dance?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah, it's pretty fun." Danny replied.
Jimmy nodded.
"It's a good thing we came back together as a group now." Danny added.
"Which reminds me, I finally took the liberty to upgrade all of our NickCom's."
"Finally." Danny said.
"Well I wouldn't say upgrade but I did make brand new models for all of us." Jimmy added.
"Are they better than the old ones?" Danny asked.
"Ohh yeah. a lot better." Jimmy replied.
"That's good enough for me." Danny replied.
"I only have one last thing to do and then they'll be fully finished."
"Oh and I'm thinking about making a new base for us."
"Really?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, why not?" Jimmy responded.
"Might as well upgrade everything then." Danny said.
"In due time." Jimmy said sarcastically.
They both shared a laugh. Danny looked past Jimmy's head and saw Timmy sprinting to them. "Hey Timmy's back."
Jimmy turned right as Timmy stopped in front of him. "Turner! I'm glad you got here! Danny and I were just talking about the new NickCom's!" Jimmy said.
"Neutron there's no time for that something horrible happened!" Timmy said in a rush.
Jimmy's expression turned serious, "What? What happened?"
"Just hurry up and follow me." Timmy said running back down the hall.
Jimmy and Danny followed suit quickly.
They rounded the corner and saw Cindy sitting in front of a locker covering her face with her hands.
Spongebob, Norvice and Aamir were talking to each other over what to do next. Jimmy rushed over to Cindy. He noticed she was balling her eyes out.
"Cindy, what's wrong?" He asked rubbing her arms. Cindy moved and hugged Jimmy, "My Dad got into a car crash!" She said sobbing.
Jimmy's eyes grew wide as he exchanged looks with Spongebob, Danny, Timmy, Norvice and Aamir. The beat of the music was a deep as the beating of his heart.
The car was totalled. The roof of it was peeled off as if a can opener peeled it back. The front engine had two deep footprints pushed into it, the road under the car had two long trails of drag marks. Jimmy had called the ambulance and studied the car. The men told Jimmy and Cindy that her father only had minor injuries and a few fractures, Cindy went with him to the hospital as Jimmy called his armour from his watch.
"I'm using the armour to see what happened. I installed a crime investigation mode in it." Jimmy explained. Once he put the armour on he looked at the car "Crime investigation activated." Jimmy said.
Jimmy scanned the car then scanned the drag marks in the ground. Then his armour displayed a life sized holographic scene of the accident.
Cindy's father was driving casually with no problems until an unknown figure came from the sky and landed on the front of the car. "That explains the footprints." Timmy said.
The figure slammed its hands inside the roof and peeled the roof back. Cindy's father swayed the car left and right and successfully put the figure off balance. The figure jumped back in front of the car and planted it's feet into the ground roughly and abruptly slowing the car down as it's feet dragged through the road. It finally stopped where the real car was sitting and the figure hopped back on the front and grabbed Cindy's father by the neck and pulled him out of the car. The figure said a few words to Cindy's father before aggressively throwing him back into the car on top of the middle part separating the passenger seat from the driver seat. Jimmy thought it was over until the figure jumped off the car and walked over to the side. It used it's index finger and carved something into the car that Jimmy just now noticed. The figure shortly flew off into the sky and the hologram stopped. The group looked at the words on the side that were carved it. "I'm back." Jimmy read out loud.
"Please tell me he's not back?" Timmy said concerned.
"If you mean the man we raided months ago then yes he's back." Jimmy answered.
Timmy grabbed his head in frustration.
"I seriously thought this guy was done for." Timmy said.
"I thought he was the guy to run after being hurt like that and never come back."
"Since when have we ever come up against a guy like that?" Spongebob asked.
Timmy nodded, "True."
"Something's off here. He injured Cindy's Father, then carved two words out on his car. This is supposed to be the big bad dimension traveler right? Why only do some damage that won't take a huge toll on us?" Jimmy said.
At the hospital... Cindy sat at her Father's side. Her head resting on his stomach. He began coughing, and alerted Cindy. "Dad!" She said.
He turned to her and grabbed her arm.
"Cynthia!" He said in pain.
"Cindy sniffed and waited for what he had to say next.
"Your friends are in trouble...the man that attacked me is planning something horrible. He put something in my car right before he left..it's in the passenger seat of the car..some type of grenade..." Her father said before drifting back to sleep.
Cindy shook her Father, "Dad! What's in the passenger seat?!"
She took out her phone and dialed Jimmy.
Back at the crash...
"You're saying he would've done more?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. I mean for a guy this important he wouldn't have done something this small for no reason." Jimmy replied.
"I'm going to re-play the hologram at when he grabbed Cindy's Father."
Jimmy pressed a button and the blue light constructs appeared. The figure had Cindy's Father by the throat and had thrown him back into the car. But another action was made when he swung his left arm at the same time. They all had just noticed this new movement in the hologram. The session ended with the normal timing but Danny jumped on the hood of the car and inspected the inside.
"It looks like he threw something in here."
"Yeah but what?" Norvice asked.
Jimmy's phone began to ring inside of his suit. He opened one part of it and took his phone out, seeing it was Cindy.
"Guys it's Cindy. She might be calling for some comfort." He answered.
"Hey, Cindy. Everything alright?"
-"No!"
"What's wrong?" Jimmy asked.
-"My Dad said the thing that attacked him put something in the passenger seat! He said something about a grenade!"
Jimmy dropped the phone from his face and heard something tick. "Danny!" He turned around and tackled Danny off of the car. Right as that happened an explosion was set off, the blast was strong enough to blow the whole team back. Everyone looked up at the car as it broke down and disintegrated by dark little metals into nothing. Danny gulped and looked at Jimmy who returned the glance.
-"Jimmy, are you ok?!" Cindy screamed from the other line of the phone.
"We're fine, Cindy. We're coming to the hospital soon. I'll call you back." Jimmy replied.
-"Ok be safe." Cindy said concerned.
"I will." Jimmy said. He looked at what used to be a car but was now dust on the road being blown away by wind.
"What. Was. That?!" Timmy asked out loud.
