Chapter 14 – I See Michael!

Meanwhile, the toys sit in the dark Joey Room. Some of them sat in silence and some were playing with dominos. They hear the echo of Jimmy's screams coming from the hallway. Cindy looked up and gasped. "What was that?!" she asked.

"That was strange. Wonder where that horrified scream came from?" Agnes wondered.

"Sounds like it came from the hall." Cody added.

"I'll see what it was." Grundgetta said walking toward the door. She takes out her remaining eye, and sticks her arm under the door, scanning the dark empty hallway.

"What do you see? Anything?" Cindy whispered.

"Nope, just a dark hallway, and…" Grundgetta started. A vison of Michael appears and passed down the hallway. "Wait, wait! I see Michael!" The toys look disbelieved. "What?" she exclaimed.

"That's impossible!" Oscar said.

"No, no, I really see him! In his room!" Grundgetta said. She gasps, upon realizing something familiar. "My other eye! The one I left behind!"

We zoom in through the hole of Grundgetta's face. Through the lost eye's point of view, we see Mike preparing for college. Grundgetta's recognized everything with her voice echoing.

This is so weird. He's packing up.

Pal, the old dog, goes over to where the eye is hidden.

Uh-oh. Oh, here comes Pal. Out of the way! GET AWAY!

Pal leaves, after yawning.

OK, Mike is out in the hallway. He's looking in the attic.

Mike's mom walks into the scene.

Wait! There's Mom. Why is he so upset?

Mike picks up a trash bag. After talking with his mother, Mike slaps his forehead.

Oh, no! Oh, this is terrible!

We zoom out of her eye, and back to the Joey Room, with the toys. The remember what has happened today, looking worried. "He's looking for us!" Grundgetta clarified. She puts her eye back in place. "Mike is looking for us!"

"He's looking for US?!" Cindy exclaimed worriedly.

"So, Mike does want us! I knew it!" Alex said.

"I think he did mean to put us in the attic." Grundgetta said.

"Well, then SpongeBob and Sandy were telling the truth!" Clifford said.

"So I would think that SpongeBob had actually been right the whole time, and we didn't even know it?" Sherman assumed.

"That's right, Sherman." Cindy alerted, worry contracting her voice.

"Holy cow!" Oscar said.

"And you didn't believe them!" Cody said.

"Hey, you didn't believe them first!" Oscar shot back.

Cindy took charge, and said, "Guys, we gotta-we gotta go home!" The door opens, and Bellwether enters from the bathroom across from the Koala Room, along with her servants. "Bellwether!" she gasped.

"Hey there." Bellwether greeted. "How are you all doing this fine evening?"

Cindy ran up to Zim and said, relieved, "Oh, thank goodness! Have you seen Jimmy?"

"There's been a mistake!" Grundgetta squealed. "We have to go!"

"Go?" Bellwether said. "Why, you just got here. In the nick of time, too. We were running low on volunteers for the little ones. They just love new toys, don't they?"

"Love?" Oscar exclaimed disdainfully. "We've been chewed, kicked, slobbered on!"

Grundgetta takes out her toy purse. It's covered with tooth marks. "Just look at my pocketbook!"

Bellwether bends down, amused. "Well, here's the thing, sweet Grouch—you're never leaving Sunnyside."

"Sweet Grouch?!" Grundgetta exclaimed in shock. She gets angry and demanded, "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO?! I HAVE OVER 30 ACCESSORIES, AND I DESERVE MORE RESPEC-!"

Bellwether takes out Grundgetta's mouth. "Ah, that's better." Bellwether's cohorts snicker at how funny the sheep's act was.

"Hey! No one takes my wife's mouth! Except me!" Oscar chided. He stomps to Bellwether and tries retrieving the mouth, but the big sheep holds it above him. "Give it back, you big woolly air freshener!" Oscar snatches the mouth away.

"Come on, guys! We're going home." Cindy said angrily. She heads toward the door.

"Whoa there missy. You're not going anywhere." Bellwether ordered.

"Oh, yeah?" Cindy asked sarcastically. "And who's gonna stop us?" Cindy stops in her tracks, upon darkness. A dark figure stands before her. Cindy backs away, and the figure steps into the light. It was Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. He looks at her with a scowl plastered on his face.

"JIMMY!" Alex shouted in joy. "You're back!" He ran toward him.

Jimmy struck a karate pose. "HOO-YAH!" he yelled.

"Jimmy?" Alex asked confused. Jimmy spin-kicks Alex from the leg, knocking him down. He jumps up high. 'Hey!" Cindy shouted.

Jimmy tackles the toys. Bellwether coldly watches Jimmy kicking, spinning, and fighting the toys. After a while, Bellwether smirks evilly Jimmy jumps triumphantly onto the pile of toys, holding Clifford's tail. "Prisoners disabled, Commander Bellwether!" he said.

"Jimmy, what are you doing?" Cindy asked.

"Silence, minions of Vader!" Jimmy ordered, pointing to the flinching Cindy. "You're in the custody of the Lunar Alliance!"

"Vader?" Alex asked confusedly.

"Lunar Alliance?" Oscar asked confusedly.

"Oh, boy." Cody said.

"Good work, Neutron!" Bellwether said, impressed with the boy genius's work. "Now, lock 'em up!"

"Yes, ma'am!" Jimmy replied with a salute.
