The day Jimmy leaves Retroville.
His parents with Carl, Sheen and Libby are all gathered in the bus station to see Jimmy before he leaves Retroville.
"James, don't be so sad it's not like you will not be returning here with us again."
"I know mom but I can't help but feel sad because I know that this time I will not quit studying in Pomona like the first time I've been there."
"It's because you were still young then Jimbo, your age was not for college during that time but this time it's another story,"
"Mr. Neutron is right Jimmy, but I think I know why you feel sad." said Libby
"Is it because you will miss us your friends and our adventures together?" asked Sheen who is as energetic as always.
"Or is it because Cindy is not here?" asked Carl looking as kind as ever.
"No, it's not because Cindy is not here. It is because I will miss you guys." answered Jimmy trying to avoid his friends from teasing him.
The truth why I am sad is because Cindy is not here yet, I wonder where she could be or why she is not here yet. Is she sick due to getting wet from the rain yesterday? I don't know I guess I'll just have to wait for her.
Inside the Vortex's Residence.
"But mom I have to see Jimmy before he leaves today."
"You have a fever Cynthia and I will not allow you to leave this house. Besides you were with him the whole day yesterday right, it's your fault that you got sick from the rain yesterday."
"But I have to see him there is something I have to say before he leaves."
"I myself wanted you to see him before he leaves but due to your condition right now, I can't let yoy leave."
"I have always loved Jimmy mom but I have'nt told him how much I love him this is the only chance I have mom, please let me go." Cindy pleaded as if she was going to cry.
Mrs. Vortex can't stand her daughter crying but what can she do, she's a mother who cares for her daughter's health more than anything else in this world.
"I can't let you get out of the house Cindy; I'm sorry, you will have your chance when the right time comes." Mrs. Vortex said before she left her Cindy alone inside her room.
At the bus terminal.
"Hey kid we are leaving soon, are'nt you still getting inside?" the driver of the bus asked Jimmy.
"I can't leave yet there is still one person I am waiting for can you please wait for at least 30 minutes?" asked Jimmy pleadingly
"Sure but 30 minutes are enough but beyond that you have to enter the bus or I will have to leave you"
"Thanks sir."
The gang was surprised to hear what Jimmy said.
"I thought so, Jimmy was in love with Cindy." said Carl happily.
Sheen placed his right arm over Jimmy's shoulders and talked, "Finally Jimmy you have turned into a man, now wait for her and let your love be returned by her!"
"Wow jimmy you are bold enough to ask the driver to wait for you for Cindy was not here yet." said Libby who is happy for him.
But Cindy was known for her stubbornness, she had a fever of 140 degrees Fahrenheit but it does'nt matter to her as long as she can go meet Jimmy and tell him her feelings that she kept for all those years. She used the window in her room to move out of the house good thing that there is a ladder near it, after reaching down she rushed to the street and called the taxi that was traveling there.
"Where are we off to?" asked the taxi driver.
"To the bus terminal please drive extremely fast, there is someone I have to see there before he leaves this city."
"Sure thing miss, if you badly need to see him then I will drive you there extremely fast."
But it's already times up for Jimmy.
"Hey kid, if you ain't riding I will leave you here."
"I'm coming! Libby please give this to Cindy." Jimmy said as he hands over to Libby his box of secrets.
"I can't accept this Jimmy, you are the one who should be giving this to her." Libby said handing Jimmy's box back to him.
"But I can't wait for her anymore I have to leave."
Sheen advised, "Then give it to Cindy when you meet her again."
"Sheen's right Jimmy, give it to her when yoi meet her again. Besides you will be returning here in Retroville during holidays right?"
"Maybe you are right Carl, I'll just give it to her when I see her again."
He hugged his parents and all of his friends before he entered the bus crying for he will miss everyone he loves in Retroville especially Cindy whom he did not saw before he leaves. The bus was already moving when Cindy arrived at the terminal.
"Where is Jimmy?" she asked gasping for air for she run from the entrance of the terminal up to the waiting area.
"He already left inside that bus." Mrs. Neutron said pointing at the bus Jimmy was in.
"Why did you arrive just now Cin, Jimmy was already gone!" asked Libby
"I can't answer you right now Libby I have a bus to follow." She said before running fast like the wind to catch up with Jimmy's bus.
"Oh honey I remembered when I was running like her to follow you." Mr. Neutron boasted to Jimmy's friends that only made Mrs. Neutron ashamed of herself.
"Go Cindy catch up with Jimmy's bus." The gang cheered for Cindy.
But due to Cindy's fever she was not able to run anymore to catch up with the bus Jimmy was riding, she fell down on her knees in the middle of the road crying for she did not see Jimmy before he leaves Retroville.
