I walk out of my bathroom in what seems to be a skirt made for a Barbie doll. "Libby, I don't feel comfortable in this" I say looking uneasily in the mirror. She walks up to me in her outfit, which by the way is adorable – I guess mine is too – "girl, just give it time, you will love it!! What we need to do now is our hair. Now where is your hairspray?" she asks.

I point to the bathroom and she rushes in. I look a while in the mirror, the boots reach up to my knees and the skirt goes down half way to my thighs. She comes out of the bathroom "alright close your eyes" She says really quickly. I turn to her just in time to have her spray my face with hairspray; she realizes my mistake and moves the can upwards to my bangs. She pushes my head down and runs her fingers through my hair. I cough perversely 'my god, how much hairspray do I need?' I think

'A lot if you want that rat trap to look good, vortex!' a voice in my mind replies. My head shoots up "what did you just say Libby?" I ask her astonished, she stares at me blankly. "What are you talking 'bout girl? I didn't say nuthin'." she says running her hands through my hair again, making it poof up.

'Cindy, you're going crazy' the voice returns. "I'M NOT CRAZY!!" I shriek neurotically. Libby looks down at me "Girl, chillax, I didn't say you were crazy!" She says. I look back up at her as she puts the white headband in my hair. Tonight, tonight was the night! We were going to Libby's party.

"Girl, you look like you stepped right out of the 60's!!" she says. She reaches to my vanity and grabs the green eye shadow. She mixes it and puts it on my eyes, up to my eyebrows, making sure it makes a statement 'it'll make a statement alright, not the kind you're thinking of though' the voice says.

I slap Libby's hand; it smears eye makeup off into my hair "CINDY!! You ruined your make up!! What has gotten into you, Girl?" she yells getting a wet towel and wiping off the smeared make up. "More like what has gotten into my mind, something is going on, I keep hearing a voice" I say worried.

She rolls her eyes "well get over it, my party starts in 30 minutes, we better get there before the others do!" She says rushing out the door with her purse. I stand up and look in the mirror one last time then follow her.

The lights go low, and the music goes high. Libby switches on the strobe lights and starts pouring the drinks. I smile at her and open the door, the crisp night air rushes inside, as well as a few party guests. As they clear a familiar humming sound appears and Jimmy's hover car lands on Libby's front lawn. He jumps out dressed as Zorro, followed by Ultralord and uh…

"Hey Cindy, if you're wondering, Carl is dressed as – now, what was he dressed as again?" he asks himself.

"For the last time, it's Llama boy!! ULTRALORD'S distant cousin who is his sidekick!!" he whines coming in. Sheen heads straight for the food bar, as does Carl. Jimmy waits by the door with me.

"So Cindy, you're a go-go dancer?" he asks swinging back and forth on his feet. I glower at him "I hate you" I say turning back to face outside, I hear him sigh "Cindy, when are you going to forgive me?" he asks feebly. I swirl back around "when you get down on your knees and beg." I say straightly. He sighs, and to my surprise drops to his knees.

"Cindy Vortex, I am not worthy to be in your presence, your mightiness makes my wholesomeness abate to nothingness! Will you please accept my humble apologies, and in return may you forgive my wrongdoings and in time again be my acquaintance once more?" he grovels. I roll my eyes "no"

He gets up "Look, I need to talk to you, seriously." he says. "What isn't serious about groveling?" I smile. He furrows his brow "fine, nerdbomb, start talking!" I laugh. He shakes his head "not here, somewhere private." he whispers.

"You want to go out to the pool?" I asks pointing to the sliding glass door, he shakes his head "somewhere even more private." he says. I look at him suspiciously "what do you want to talk about neutron?" I ask. He shakes his head once more "Just come on!" he says grabbing my wrist (the one without the bangle) and leads me through the masses of people and the low hanging artificial smoke from the machine that Jimmy made.

"Neutron, chill out, we can go upstairs to the den if you want?" I suggest. I see his face light up and he twists around, dragging me with him. "Neutron hold up, what do you have to talk about, it is really hard to run in theses shoes!" I stumble as he drags me up the stairs reluctantly.

We take the last turn into the hallway that has the den in it and we go into the last door on the left. He goes in and I follow as he closes the door and turns on the lamp that is beside the reddish-orange foldout couch.

"Alright, what do you have to tell me that was so important you had to drag me up a flight of stairs and throw me into this cramped dusty old rooooo" – I get interrupted when his lips collide with mine. He puts his hand on my lower back just above my waist and his other behind my head, resting peacefully on my giant hair. I lock my arms under his and put my hands on his shoulders.

He deepens the kiss and then breaks it just as fast pulling away. I stumble forward and Jimmy catches me before I fall completely. "You enjoy it?" he asks the obvious.

"Wouldn't you know Nerdtron?" I roll my eyes and dust off my skirt. He smiles "well, actually I wouldn't." he says. I look at him curiously. "I reversed the devise" he says.
