Our heroes drifted off into space, saddened by the loss of their friends. Their enemies were gone, but so were their friends.
"I can't believe they're really gone" Libby sadly said.
"I can't believe they sacrificed themselves for us" Cindy added.
"I barley even knew them" Brittany sniffled "And even I find this unbearable"
"What do we do now?" asked Carl "Zix, Travoltron and Tee are the only ones who can guide us through space. Even we haven't gone this far before"
Everybody stayed silent in thought as they started grieving over losing their friends.
"First we lose Sheen, then we almost lose Jimmy and now we've lost Zix, Tee and Travoltron" Libby sadly said "I thought this couldn't get any worse, but it has"
"I guess this is how it would feel if my Daniel really did die" Brittany thought as she buried her face into Nick's chest.
"There, there..." Nick whispered as he held Brittany in his arms for comfort.
Jimmy turned on the autopilot and started feeling bad. Goddard climbed up on Jimmy's shoulder and he pet Goddard's global cranium.
"Be strong, master" Goddard gently told his owner "We have to be brave; we have to find Sheen. After all, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have Zix, Travoltron and Tee on our sides"
"I guess we can just give up now" Nick sadly said.
Jimmy thought for a moment, but then he looked at his dog and he finally decided to speak up.
"No!" he sternly said "Goddard's right! We can't give up! We have to get Sheen back because he's one of us and I'm not gonna let us lose another friend! Hang on everybody"
Jimmy went back to the driver's seat of the ship and started typing in some sort of coordinates.
"Jimmy, what're you doing?" asked Cindy.
"I told you Cindy, we are going back to the mission" Jimmy said "I'm not going to let Sheen's dad suffer one more day! We're going to find Sheen!"
Everybody looked at each other and agreed.
"Yeah" Nick shrugged "I guess so"
"Hang on everyone!" said Jimmy "We're on our way!"
Off they went, back into space to continue Operation: Galactic Rescue.
Meanwhile back on Earth, the parents were still setting up Jimmy's wormhole generator.
"Move it along people" Hugh said to the other adults "This generator ain't gonna build itself"
At that same time, the moms were having a little conversation of their own.
"You sure this'll work, Jude?" Martha asked Judy.
"Of course it will" Judy replied "After all, Jimmy saved us from aliens, I think we truly should return the favor"
"Oh" said Sasha "It's just that last time we used this thing, your bumbling husband ruined everything"
"Well I can assure you that we all will be going this time" Judy assured them.
"I hope so" said Mrs. Dean "I can't just stand here, thinking my little Nicky is in danger"
"Yeah" Sasha added "After all, Cindy is my little angel. I may get angry at her when she does something wrong and punish her, but I still love her, she's my little girl"
"Looks like Sasha Vortex has a heart after all" Judy remarked.
Back in space, our heroes were following the coordinates to the planet where Jimmy's rocket could've ended up.
"Status report, Jimmy!" Carl exclaimed.
"According to the screen, we're just about there" Jimmy reported to his friends "Looks like we're several miles away from the planet where the rocket landed"
"Gee Neutron, I can't believe we're almost there" Cindy remarked.
"Jimmy, I'm sorry I ever doubted you" Nick added "For a wimpy geek, you're pretty awesome"
"Here that, guys?" Libby smiled "I'm getting my man back!"
Just then, Brittany looked out the window and saw something fly by,
"Uh guys..." she said "Something flew right past us"
"Do we really need an announcement every time you see something?" Cindy asked sarcastically.
"Don't listen to her" Jimmy said as he kept driving "She's just looking for attention"
Brittany then saw some more things fly by "Seriously! There's something out there!"
"Uh, master..." Goddard pulled on Jimmy's shirt "I think Brittany might be right. I sense something approaching"
"Don't be ridiculous Goddard" Jimmy said "There's nothing out he-"
Just then, the alarm on the control pad started beeping and flashing.
"Red alert! Red alert!" said the alarm "Meteor approaching"
Jimmy turned back to the control panel and saw that they were in a meteor shower.
"AAAHHHH!" everyone shouted.
"Another meteor shower!" Jimmy exclaimed "Hang on everyone"
Jimmy took the controls and started blasting at the meteors that were approaching them. Just then, while Jimmy and Goddard steered and dodged the meteors faster, the others fell to the back of the ship and Carl accidentally hit a button on the wall, which opened up the airlock. Just then, Cindy was getting sucked out.
"HEEELLLPPP!" she shouted as she tried to hold onto the floor.
Jimmy turned around and gasped "CINDY! Goddard! Take the controls!"
Jimmy ran over to Cindy, who was holding on for her life.
"JIMMY HELP!" she shouted.
"Hang on Cindy, I'm coming" Jimmy shouted as he ran to her.
Just then, Cindy's fingers slipped off and she started to get shot into space and the meteor shower and at the last second, Jimmy grabbed her hand, while he held onto a pole.
"Hang on Cindy..." he grunted "I've got you!"
He tried with all his might to pull Cindy back in, but his fingers slipped as well and he started to get sucked into space also. Luckily, Carl, Libby, Nick, Goddard and Brittany came to their rescue and pulled the two distaff counterparts together (thank God for the autopilot). Using all their strength and courage, they managed to pull Jimmy and Cindy right back into the ship and close the airlock, causing them to tumble on each other in the process. Not to mention make it out of the meteor shower safely.
"Ow, my scapula" Carl whined.
"Oh my God!" Libby exclaimed as she hugged Cindy "Cindy you're okay! I was so worried about you!"
"So was I" Brittany said as she hugged Cindy tight as well "I thought I was going to lose you forever!"
"That's...good...to know" Cindy said, all choked up "Now could you please let go? You're crushing my spine"
"Bark! Bark!" Goddard said as he jumped onto Jimmy and licked his entire face.
"Great to see you're okay, Jimmy" Nick playfully punched Jimmy's arm "I was worried"
"Why'd you do that, Jimmy?" asked Cindy "You could've died..."
"Cause that's what friends do" Jimmy replied "We stick together, like...a family"
"Well I don't know about you guys, but we are the weirdest family ever" Brittany remarked.
"And Sheen is part of our family too" Libby added "And it wouldn't be complete without him"
"And no matter what happens, we never forget one of our own" Jimmy finished, then went back to the controls "Hang on everyone! We're almost there"
Our protagonists were almost to their destination and their friend. While driving, Cindy thought long about what had happened.
"You know Cindy, I've never had a friend who would risk his life for me" Brittany told her friend.
"Jimmy sure is brave to do that" Carl added.
"Yeah, Jimmy's a pretty great guy" Cindy replied.
Cindy thought about what Jimmy had just done for her; he risked her life for her, even after all the things she had done to him and nearly causing him to die. Maybe she could have a chance to finally let Jimmy know how she felt...once they got to the planet that is.
