Chapter 10: Airport Chase

Jimmy's POV

As soon as we arrived at the airport, Cindy grabbed my hand as we walked down to help her parents give the suitcases for the employees to handle. I can still think on my free will on the occasion, but I couldn't control what I say or do. I then got a chill down my spine, as I looked out a window behind us, and it looked like my hovercar as well as someone flying it. I couldn't quite tell who, since it was still quite a distance. Apparently, Cindy noticed as she put a tighter grip on my hand and we started running to where the security was to check our smaller bags. Clearly, she wanted me as far away from whomever was flying the hovercar, and I had a good idea as to who that might be.

Sheen's POV

Thanks to Libby telling us about where they were headed earlier, we made our way to the airport in no time. Now one may ask as to who is driving the hovercar, but thankfully Goddard was able to pilot it for us. We landed in the parking lot and told Goddard to protect the hovercar in case we needed it again.

"Guys, I'm sorry." Ike said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Carl asked.

"I was the one that gave them a chance to win the tickets. It was supposed to stall them, but instead it made things worse," Ike explained.

"Hey, it's okay. None of us could've predicted this happened," I said calmly.

"Uh, Shine? Are you okay?" Nick asked.

"Yeah, don't you usually get mad at stuff like this?" Carl agreed.

"As mad as I am at Ike, arguements will get us nowhere at a time like this. We gotta get moving," I explained.

We entered the airport to search for Jimmy and Cindy, but we couldn't find them anywhere. All of a sudden, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned around to see who it was, and it turned out to be Libby.

"Libby!? How'd you get here so quickly!?" I ask in disbelief.

"I snuck into the glove compartment of the hovercar without any of you looking." She shrugged.

I started to say something, but Carl beat me to it, "I'll handle this! You guys go!"

"You can't do this alone Carl. I'll be with you," Ike said. "I will stall her this time."

"Thanks Ike," Carl said as he fist bumped Ike.

"Anyti-" Ike started to say.

"I'm standing right here," Libby said with her arms crossed.

"Thanks guys. We'll get going," I said.

"Right behind you," Nick said, as we started running to where we think they may be at.

Jimmy's POV

We just got through security, and I had no choice, but to keep moving since my hand was strongly gripped by Cindy's hand. Her hand actually feels pretty soft, and warm...

"I hope you enjoy the trip that we'll be on," Cindy smiled at me as she said it.

"Yeah..." I said, I couldn't help but grin back. Her voice sounds so beautiful. Why haven't I noticed it before.

Still, somewhere in the back of my head, I hated all this, but with my mind being brainwashed and all, I had no access to it, but I was still aware of what's going on. I checked the departure time for when we head for Brooklyn, and it looks like we have an hour before the plane arrives.

Carl's POV

Alright, Ike and I have got this. We can keep Libby delayed.

"You guys can't stop what's happening."

"What're you talking about?" Ike asks.

"Those two were meant to be together. For a long time actually." Libby explains.

"Yeah, but Jim's under a love potion. His actions aren't under his control," I say.

"It still needs to happen. Ever wondered why Cindy acted this way, even though she wasn't effected by the love potion?" Libby asks rhetorically.

"Okay, that's Cindy, but what about Jimmy? He's in love with Betty the last I heard." Ike stated.

"Well perhaps this would change his mind... Those two were meant for each other." Libby said. "After all, they don't just argue for first place at school. It was a way to hide their feelings, or at least deny them for the time being."

"You actually might be right, but maybe this isn't the right time." I said. "We should've let them wait until both of them actually feel like they are ready for a relationship."

"Hmm... you're probably right Carl. Perhaps we're having them go too fast. We gotta stop them, before things get too crazy," Libby said.

We headed to where Nick and Sheen were headed. Ike pulled me to the side and asked, "When did you become a love expert?"

"I got that advice from my love just in case I meet someone with a name, like Judy or... well Judy."

"Uhhh... If you say so," Ike said. "Anyway, we better get going."

"Right." I said. Why was he acting like that I said something wrong. It's not like I was referring to Jimmy's mom or anything.

Jimmy's POV

"JIMMAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!" is the first thing I hear after Cindy left to use the bathroom. I turn around to see who was screaming my name. I could immediately tell who it was. It was Sheen, and he was tagged along with Nick. Since Cindy was nowhere to be seen at this point in time, I temporarily felt back to normal.

"What're you guys doing here?" I ask.

"We're here to rescue you, before you leave for Brooklyn." Sheen explained.

"Okay, but what's Nick doing here? I thought you didn't like me that much." I ask.

"I don't, but you don't deserve to be a hostage to a girl with kirate moves or whatever, so I'm rescuing you as well."

"Alright, but we better get out of here and remove the love potion effect on me, before she comes ba-" I say when suddenly I hear running towards me. Knowing who it is, I dart off before the effect slows me down. As long as I don't about her, I'll be fine.

"We'll cover you bro," I can hear Sheen say.

I then dart to one of the airport shops for cover.

Just don't think... Just don't think...

Nick's POV

How long is this gonna go on? Alright, we better handle this. She's already running toward us and starts throwing punches, which Sheen and I miss. I then decide to throw a punch, but miss and be knocked to the ground, still awake though.

Sheen and Cindy were on a quick paced fist fight. I tried to get my sight back. From what I could see, Sheen actually landed a hit on Cindy knocking her back, but not as bad as me. Suddenly some security guards came and grabbed Sheen and I, for supposedly attacking her, She then left, but I was taken to some doctor, and I could hear Sheen, saying something on the lines of "It's not my fault!" I then blacked out.

Jimmy's POV

I seem to be hiding for quite a while. Perhaps I could make it out. I peek on the side of the shop to see if she was there, but she was no where to be seen. I then take a glance behind me before walking out just in case, because I'm paranoid. Thankfully no one was there.

I sneak around. Perhaps I can hold out somewhere until the plane leaves. I think I got about 15 minutes left.

"NEUTRON!" I could clearly hear who it's from. Screw it, I'm darting outta here before the 976-J takes over again. I ran about 50 feet before being tackled to the ground. Where's security when you need them.

"You ARE coming with me, and that's final!" Cindy said as she attempted to grab my hand, but I pulled away.

"You're crazy. I'm not going to Brooklyn with you." I said.

"Yes. I am crazy. Crazy in love with you, and you feel the same way. You just don't quite know it yet."

"What're you- MMPH" I suddenly fall victm to the potion, as she presses her lips with mine. So soft and warm...

"Let's go the plane now." She said.

"Okay, let's go." I said as we grabbed hands and went for the flight. I didn't enjoy where this was going.

Ike's POV

We managed to get through security, but we saw Sheen and Nick there. This ain't good. The three of us ran as fast as we could to make it there. Once we mad it there, we saw them, but they just boarded the plane to Brooklyn with her family.

"No! We failed!" Carl cried.

"Isn't there anything we can do," Libby askes.

"Got it. We could take the hover car over, but we'll have to refuel it. We also got Nick and Sheen to worry about. Until we figure that out, we're not going anywhere."

"Poor guys..." Carl said sadly.
