I don't own Jimmy Neutron, but if it were on sale on Ebay, I'd buy it.

Chapter 10: Drama on the Dance Floor

Jimmy and Cindy walked hand-in-hand to the floor. He took her right hand in his left, and cautiously placed his hand on her waist. She reassuringly put her hand on his shoulder, and they started waltzing across the floor.

"You do know how to do this, right?" Cindy asked.

"Of course. Me, Sheen, and Carl used the Ultrashock Dance Teacher 8000 for all the dances they could possibly play here. No two left feet tonight." He said. They were practically gliding across the room.

"Good." She said, smiling. They danced in silence until the song was over and a new one began, this time faster. Almost every couple had to stop and get ready for the next dance, but Cindy and Jimmy barely missed a beat, gliding gracefully into the song.

"You're not so bad yourself, Cindy." Jimmy said as they twirled around the dance floor.

"Yeah well, my mom made me take dancing lessons when I was little. I'm glad she did now." She said. Just then, Eustace and Veronica 'accidentally' bumped into them.

"Oh, I…James! We meet again. This is a nice little shindig, isn't it? Oh, I have the most delicious idea! How about we switch partners?" Eustace said, letting Veronica go.

"No way Strich!" Jimmy said, putting an arm protectively across Cindy.

"Oh, do come on Jimmy. It will be fun." Eustace replied, reaching for Cindy. Cindy, meanwhile, was about to angrily smack Eustace, when Jimmy suddenly grabbed Eustace's arm and twisted it behind his back. Cindy gasped, her glare replaced by shock.

"Ow, that hurts! I would appreciate it if you stopped that!" Eustace said, looking back at Jimmy. Jimmy put his face dangerously near Eustace's and glared into his eyes.

"I said back off." He whispered to him. He roughly let Eustace go and walked away, Cindy nervously following him. Eustace stared after them, rubbing his arm. There was a bewildered look on his face.

"Ha, you just got beaten by an orange freak!" Veronica said to him. "What are you going to do now?"

"Oh, I assure you I will get my revenge for this humiliation, but not tonight."

"And why not? Is the big, bad orange boy too much for poor Eusty?" Veronica taunted.

"No! But I will tell you this. For a moment, when we were inches from each other's face, right then, his eyes were green."
