CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
A.J. looked very surprised at the Turners with their presumption. Timmy looked a little surprised himself, and then his the brunet boy did something that A.J. knew he would do.
Timmy Turner smiled.
"I guess, they're right," said Timmy, "I mean I guess I'll be coming home."
"No Timmy," said A.J., "You're not."
"But," said Timmy…
"No, buts, Timmy," replied the genius of Dimmsdale who then glared at the Turners and added, "Mr. And Mrs. Turner could you wait outside I'll talk to you in a minute. Phineas, Ferb, could you take Django and your sister outside. I need to talk to Timmy.
Todd Turner looked like he was he was going to argue, but the angry look A.J. gave him and his wife made him think better.
"Okay," said Phineas, "Perry, Candace Django, let's go."
"Wait a minute," said Candace to A.J. , "who do you think you are, small child...,
That's when the 'small child' gave Candace a look that...well if looks could kill Candace would have dropped dead that very second.
"Of course, we can always talk about this later," said Candace.
"What do you mean, Jimmy," said Little T., "clearly confused, "I can't be a clone. I remember who my mom and dad and my friends are."
"Little T," said Jimmy, "I'm sorry, but you are. Remember that wire that I pulled out from the back of your head."
"Timmy" nodded.
"Well," said Jimmy, "it was hooked up to a computer with information about the actual Timmy Turner. Anti-Cosmo and his friends made you."
"No," said the clone, "you're lying, I'm Timmy Turner my mom and dad are Todd and Theresa Turner...You kidnapped me. Mom and Dad told me not to talk to strangers, I'm never gonna seem my parents or Chester and A.J. again.
And with that, the seven year old clone of Timmy Turner began balling.
"You're right, Alden," said Vlad, "this idea is working perfectly."
Bitterroot smiled and nodded. Now if the clone could go into a rage and let out what was inside of him, then the Neutron problem would be eliminated.
The others group making the plans, Nyueng Tang, Hugh Magnate, Dorkus and M.E.R.F. were waiting in a MERF conference room for Vlad Plasmius, Anti-Cosmo and Alden Bitterroot. Everything seemed to be coming together. Old Man Tang didn't know what type of "power" this Turner boy possessed, but the M.E.R.F. agents assured him that he would find out soon enough.
The smile that Timmy had was actually gone. In fact, his face gave an indication of sober realization.
"Okay, buddy," said A.J. approaching Timmy's bed, "I need to talk to you..."
"I know what you're going to say A.J.," said Timmy, "and you're right. My parents aren't ready to take me back. Even they do remember everything, that's not the issue. They need to be..." and with that Timmy swallowed, "better parents to me. "I guess I let my emotions cloud my judgement again. It just felt so good having them pay so much attention to me. I kind of got carried away."
Candace stood outside of the room Timmy Turner was in with her brothers, Django and Timmy's parents. The expression on her face made it clear she did not appreciate being ordered out of the room.
"I can't believe I let that munchkin order ME around," said the 16 year old, "I mean who does he think he is?"
"I think," said Ferb, "he is a good friend of Timmy Turner, the same boy whose parents house you broke into."
"I wouldn't have 'broken in'," said Candace, "if you two...,
That's when Candace noticed Perry. The platypus was standing on his hind legs looking like anything but a 'mindless' animal. She also noticed something else.
"Guys", said the older sister, "Why is Perry wearing a hat?"
"That's very mature of you to say that, Timmy," said A.J.
"I don't know about that," said Timmy, "I just know there's a pattern, a cycle to my parents' treatment of me. Neglect, being called out on it, improving their treatment of me, then slipping back into their...neglect."
"Well," said A.J., "it's progress at least."
"So," said Timmy, "what are you going to do about Phineas and Ferb's sister, Candace?"
"I'm going to talk to them right now," said A.J., "I'm not exactly sure why she's here and why that kid Django is with her."
"For what it's both Phineas and Ferb seemed just as surprised by their breaking into my house as we did."
"It looked like that," said A.J., "maybe when I talk with them, I can get to the bottom of this."
"Timmy," said Jimmy to the clearly upset clone, "I didn't kidnap you. Have I hurt you yet?"
The clone shook his head but then stated
"But you're scaring me now. How can I be a clone?"
"You're a clone, because I know the real Timmy Turner."
Anti-Cosmo looked a little concerned. He turned to Alden and Vlad. The worry on his face must have been evident because Bitterroot said,
"Don't worry, Anti-Cosmo, my plan isn't finished yet."
Danny Phantom was in the part of the ship with Cindy Vortex. He seemed a little preoccupied. In fact, he kept looking out of the window.
"Is something wrong, Danny," said Cindy?
"I'm not sure," said Danny, "I was about to return to my universe and check on Timmy and his friends, but I feel some type of presence...it almost feels like."
That's when Danny shrugged.
"No," said the ghost hybrid, "I don't see anything out there. It must be my imagination."
Candace closed her eyes and put her hand to her head.
"I...,I remember something," said Candace, "something about Perry being a secret agent...,and another dimension"
Django squinted and said,
"You know, so do I; something about us ...fighting giant robots."
Then something happened that cause Candace and Django's eyes to grow wide. Perry the Flynn-Fletcher's pet spoke.
"Yes, Candace, Django," said the monotreme, "you are correct. I am a secret agent, and all of us did fight giant robots from another dimensions.
"You say you know the real Timmy," said Little T.
"Yes," said Jimmy, "Timmy and I are actually friends."
"Is he like me," said the clone?
"Well," said Jimmy, "he's actually eleven years old."
"But I'm just seven," said "Timmy".
"That's because something happened to stop you from getting up to the actual Timmy's age."
The clone frowned. Then he felt his stomach.
"Jimmy," said the seven year old copy of Timmy Turner, "I can't be a clone."
"I'm sorry Little T," said the genius of Retroville, "but you are."
"I can't be," said "Timmy, who then lifted up his shirt exposing his stomach, "because I've got a belly button."
Jimmy smiled and said,
"Timmy, clones can have belly buttons."
"But the movies..."
"The movies, Little T. aren't always right. It depends on how the clone was created; plus Anti-Cosmo wanted you to be exactly like Timmy, so he would have made physically just like the actual Timmy Turner."
The poor kid looked really confused, and more than a little scared. At least, though, he was no longer crying.
"I tell you what Timmy," said Jimmy, "would you like to be alone for a few minutes to kind of think about this."
"Yeah," said Little T., flatly.
"Okay," said Jimmy, "that's understandable"
Jimmy then walked up to leave, but he stopped at the door and looked right at this genetic copy of Timmy Turner and said,
"You know Timmy, I said you're a clone, but that doesn't make you any less of person than me, or Timmy Turner. I'm not sure if you understand this, but you have a soul and that makes just as human as me, my friend, or Timmy and his friends."
Then Jimmy smiled and said,
"Besides, you're a great kid."
The clone looked up at Jimmy, less scared and said,
"Thank you Jimmy. I think you're great too."
With that, Jimmy Neutron smiled and left.
"Okay," said Bitterroot to his three companions, "let's join that clone and stoke his feelings of confusion and anger so much so, that Neutron and his friends won't know what hit them.
"A.J.," said the eleven year old actual Timmy Turner.
"Yeah, buddy," replied the African-American boy.
"You said I have some type of power, and that I somehow made that iron support disappear. How? I'm not a magic creature. I think I'm human."
"You are, Timmy," said A.J., "we'll talk about this, but right now, I need to talk to Phineas and Ferb about what's going on with Candace."
"And I guess you need to talk to my parents," replied the buck toothed boy, "don't be too hard on them A.J."
A.J. almost told Timmy that actually he had been far nicer to Mr. and Mrs. Turner than they actually deserved. However, in consideration of Timmy's feelings, the young genius said,
"I'll try not to be buddy."
I know it's longer chapter. Please review.
