Disclaimer, I don't own "Jimmy Neutron" or "The Simpsons".
At the Neutron residence a knock at the front door is answered by the boy genius known as, Jimmy Neutron. At the door is his project partner/ rival, Cindy Vortex.
"Alright Neutron, I'm here to work on the project." Cindy says.
"Hello to you too, Miss Vortex. You'll be happy to know that I have also provided a nutritious meal for us while we work." Jimmy explains.
He walks into the kitchen, smoke coming from his head oven. He runs over and opens the oven door to see that his roast is on fire.
"Leaping Pluto! My roast is ruined. What am I gonna do now? Come on Neutron. Think, think, think."
Burned roast
Candy Bar
McSpanky's
"Brain blast! I'll just order fast food and disguise it as my own cooking. Neutron, you are genius."
Jimmy says to himself.
As he goes to open the kitchen door to leave, Cindy walks into the kitchen.
"Gah, Cindy!"
"Are you going somewhere?" Cindy asks him curiously.
"Uh... no I was just opening the door to let some air in because the window's stuck." Jimmy lies.
"Okay then..." Cindy pauses when she notices the smoking oven. "Why is their smoke coming out of your oven, Neutron?"
"Oh no that's not smoke it's... steam. Steam from the clams I'm making. Mmm, mmm, mmm, steamed clams." Jimmy rubs his belly and puts on a big smile, doing his best to sell the lie.
"Whatever." Cindy walks out of the kitchen and back into the living room. When she does; Jimmy sighs heavily, gets his jet pack, and flies to McSpanky's.
I'm the living room, Cindy is doing her work when Jimmy walks in with a tray full of hamburgers and fries.
"Alright Cindy, I hope your ready for some mouthwatering hamburgers."
"I thought we were having steamed clams." Cindy comments suspiciously.
"Oh did I say that? No I meant to say "steamed hams". That's what I call hamburgers."
"You call hamburgers, 'steamed hams'?"
"Why yes I do. It's a regional dialect."
"Really? Well what region?"
"Southern Massachusetts."
"Really? Well my aunt's from Plymouth and I've never heard her say "steamed hams" before."
"Oh no no no not Plymouth, it's a Dartmouth expression." Jimmy lies.
As they eat and work, Cindy notices something familiar about the burgers.
"I gotta say, the burgers taste almost like the ones at McSpanky's."
"Oh don't worry. They're patented Neutron burgers, an old family recipe."
"For steamed hams?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah I you call the STEAMED hams..." Cindy takes off the bun. "Despite the fact that they're cleared grilled."
Jimmy becomes very nervous at this point.
"Well um... you see... thing is... Would you excuse me for a moment?" Jimmy gets up and walks in the kitchen, and almost immediately walks back out when he sees a fire.
"Oh well, I think we made some progress in the project. We could call it a night (fake yawn) I'm pooped."
"Yeah I guess I should be... good lord Jimmy, what's happening in there?!" Cindy panics as she sees the orange glow coming from the kitchen door.
"Oh it's the Aurora borealis."
"Au-aurora borealis?! At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?" Cindy asks suspiciously.
"Yes." Jimmy lies, afraid of if Cindy believes him or not.
"Well can I see it?" Cindy asks, having bought the lie.
"Um, no." Jimmy then walks Cindy to the door and escorts her out.
"I gotta say Jimmy, you're pretty strange but... ya steam a good ham." Cindy says giving him the thumbs up.
"Thank you, Cindy." As she is walking away, Hugh Neutron sticks his head out the window.
"Jimbo! The house is on fire!"
"No dad! That's just the northern lights!" Jimmy shouts up to his father.
As Cindy walks down the street, Judy Neutron sticks her head out the window and shouts, "James Isaac Neutron!"
The End
