Crazy trouble with love part 8
Jimmy and Cindy part 2
xxxxxxxxxxxx
"This is Courtney Tyler reporting with Action 9 News. Today's top story Cindy Vortex and Jimmy Neutron. Two kids from right here in Retroville, Missing for Almost 12 years now, have been found. More surprising is where they were found. On a tropical Island thousands of miles away. The two have since been living on the island together until an exploration team found them. The two are now en route back to retroville to reunite with their families." spoke the older classmate of the two wearing an anchorwoman's suit with her hair done up together down her back. "We'll report more on the news as soon as possible, back to you Ted."
(Elsewhere)
We find ourselves in a police cruiser driving down the street with Cindy and Jimmy in the back, both of them wearing fresh new clothes while looking out through the windows.
"I just can't believe it." Said Jimmy.
"That we're finally going home or that Butch is a cop?" Cindy questioned pointing at their old classmate in the driver's seat in a police officer's uniform.
"Both." he remarked watching the houses go by and noting how the neighborhood seemed relatively the same.
"If you guys think you're surprised imagine how I feel." Butch said. "We thought you were dead. I was at your funeral."
"Well you and everyone else were surprised, except the reporters who wouldn't quit asking over and over." sighed Cindy in annoyance. "We told them what happened once, but they just had to keep asking for more and more. Barely had any chance to get some breathing room. Oh there's our street! We're almost home."
"I just hope your folks are gonna keep it together, they were a real mess, really made things change and feel empty at school." remarked Butch as he turned down the road.
"Here they come!" Called out an older Libby standing at the front yard, her dreadlocks tied back behind her head in a ponytail. She had filled out while wearing a purple and blue designed sleeveless dress shirt with blue jeans and purple nail polish. "Everyone! Here they come!"
The front door was kicked open by an older Sheen in a button up shirt, bell bottoms, and penny loafers "Ha! Boom baby!" he let out striking a pose.
"Sheen! Come on, this isn't the time for modeling!" Libby called.
"Coming honey." he spoke deflating a little as he walked out with an older Carl walking out in a long turtleneck with a goatee and overalls with what looked like stilted shoes.
"Wait up guys." He called before running over and watched the the cruiser coming up to the street before stopping, but not a little bit away from the house confusing them. That is until a familiar big head poked out the window.
"Carl! Sheen!" Jimmy called out.
"Jimmy!" The two called out with smiles on their faces. But the minute their friend stepped out of the police car all their jaws dropped. Their once scrawny big headed friend had grown into a tall, lean, young man, with visible amount of muscle. He wore a sleeveless black shirt with a pair of blue jeans and brown shoes.
"Man is it good to see you two again, it's been over a decade."
"Woah Jimmy, you're... y-you're…" Sheen couldn't get what he was try to say out.
"Smokin' hot." Libby said absentmindedly with a goofy grin.
"Hey!" Sheen shouted bringing her back to her senses.
"I got the same reaction with some of the women in the exploration team that found us." Chuckled Jimmy."
"Wow Jim, you're so tan." Remarked Carl at Jimmy's skin. "I could never get that golden without ending up with three layers of burnt skin, believe me, I tried."
"Is Cindy with you?" Libby asked.
"Uh, yeah, but... don't freak out." Jimmy said
"Aw come on, we know Cindy's hard to stand sometimes, but she's not-"
The blonde stepped out of the car, equally as tan and Jimmy dressed in a white shirt and shorts. The boys were stunned by her mature body, but what was most surprising was what she was holding, that being a young two year old girl with Cindy's hair, only loose with curls on the edges, and Jimmy's eyes. She was dressed in overalls over a striped shirt, and pink shoes.
None of the three could utter a word as Cindy walked up.
"What? I know I've grown up a lot, but you act like you've seen a ghost." Cindy said jokingly with Jimmy snorting.
The first to speak was Sheen who stated what the were all thinking. "WHAT!?" he let out gesturing to the toddler by throwing out both his arms. "I...gebah...whozi...WHAT?!"
Both Jimmy and Cindy broke out laughing at their response.
"James Isaac Neutron!"
Jimmy instantly stopped his laugh and slowly turned his head. "M-M-Mom?" he spoke seeing his aged mother come out of the house and rush up to him. He found himself getting his face held by her as she looked him over while looking misty eyed.
"I want to be so mad at you right now, but…" she wrapped her arms around him and hugged while tears ran down her cheeks. "I'm so happy you're safe and sound."
"Aw mom," he spoke and hugged her back. "I gotta say I was strangely looking forward to you scolding me."
Jimmy and his mom held each other tightly while the girl Cindy was holding cooed a little and turned to her.
"Mama, who dat?" she questioned pointing a finger at Judy while all looked to her.
"That's your grandma." Cindy answered before Judy looked as shocked as the others. "Say hi sweetie."
"Hi sweedie." the girl greeted with a wave as Judy walked over and smiled making Cindy chuckle.
"Sorry, she's still learning."
"Oh...my gosh, that is so adorable." Remarked Libby.
"Wait...you mean you two…?" Sheen trailed off.
"Yes Sheen." Jimmy finished making Carl gasp and Sheen look between Jimmy and Cindy back and forth. "Look, I get you all have questions."
"Absolutely." spoke his mom while wagging a finger in front of the girl who followed it and giggled. "I want to know everything that happened, but we can do it inside." she said before taking the girl from Cindy.
"Be careful, she's ticklish." advised the blonde as they headed towards the house.
The minute Jimmy and Cindy stepped inside they were greeted by more friends and family. All of whom tried speaking over the other.
Later Jimmy was talking with Sheen and Carl while Cindy was with her mother on the couch.
"Cindy dear it's so good to have you home, and just look at how you've grown. You're positively radiant."
"Thanks mom, being stuck on an island for over a decade gives me a lot of time to work on my tan."
"And these pearls are just to die for." The woman said reaching out to lift up the pearl necklace around her daughters neck. "You must tell me where you got them."
"Well it's thanks to Jimmy actually. He found them and gave them to me as gifts whenever he went out fishing. It got to a point where there were so many that he strung them all together."
"Well I must say I'm surprised. I half expected that boy to put you in an asylum before he put you in pearls. That being said I'm just relieved to see you're all in one piece. When you went missing I was utterly beside myself. How did you ever survive?"
"We lived off the land. It took some getting use to, but we learned how to hunt, forage, live, fish, and even garden. And of course making clothes out of animal hides, you should have seen Jimmy's face when he saw me in a fur bikini." Cindy giggled.
"Was this before or after you two...you know?"
"Now that's a secret. But if you're mad about it in anyway you have to understand we thought we would be stuck on that island forever and at times we thought…. maybe we would be better off if we were. We thrived on that island. Jimmy even invented a sunblock that helps a person tan without burning which was also an amazing bug repellent, and safe to ingest. All from herbs, water, fruits, and coconuts." revealed Cindy with a smile while looking over at her daughter who was being doted on by Judy and Hugh with Hugh making faces at the little girl making her laugh. "And we've raised a child for two years."
"Well color me impressed dear, I could never even imagine myself out in the wild for even a week straight without getting a bit unhinged, let alone for years. By the way, what is the little darling's name?"
"Well we had some hard decisions, but we settled on a name. Marie Neutron, named after Marie Curie. I tell you picking a name was one of the only things we ever fought about."
"Oh come now, being all alone on an island for that long? You two surely must have had your fair share of spats."
"Yeah, but….not as many as before we got there. Most of the time it was just work hard, play hard, and eventually making love like crazy...did I just say that out loud?" blushed Cindy making her mother chuckle.
"It's quite alright, being stuck in one place with limited things to do can be quite 'stressful' to a young woman. But just out of curiosity...how big is he?"
"Mom!" Cindy turned brighter red.
"What? I'm merely curious."
"And so am I." Libby said walking up. "Girl, you gotta give me the details, it's been way too long, and that's somethin' I gotta hear."
Cindy felt stuck between a rock and a hard place as her mother and friend leaned on closer while she groaned on embarrassment.
We cut back to Jimmy who was still chatting with his friends.
"I still can't believe it. I can't tell whether this is actually real or I'm having a mid life crisis hallucination." admitted Sheen. "Carl smack me in the face!"
"Uh, Sheen? I'm not sure I should."
"Just do it!"
"Well, okay." Carl said before smacking Sheen's face.
"Ow!" he reeled back and held the spot before turning to Jimmy and blinked. "Wow, either this hallucination is worse than I thought, or you really ARE here."
"It's great to see you guys haven't changed. But I've been wanting to asked. What the heck are you wearing Sheen? Did you just dive in your closet and hope for the best?"
"Hey! I'll have you know I'm quite the expert on fashion." he smirked standing up. "Every time I put on stuff that works, it always makes Libby smile."
"Okay, but...why bell bottoms? I thought those died with disco."
"Try to understand Jimmy. I am a top male model. I decide what's dead and what to bring back FROM the dead. Case in point, bell bottoms." he smirked pointing to them. "You should get yourself a pair, you'll make headlines with that tan alone, especially if you get in on the trend."
"If you want I can lend you some of my home made sunblock so you can tan like me too."
"Alright! Lay it on me Jimmy! THE WORLD HAS BEEN WAITING TOO LONG FOR TAN SHEEN!" He cried out dramatically.
"Uh...I could use some too." spoke up Carl awkwardly. "I've been meaning to find one that can work, but the kind they have now only work for an hour before I start burning real bad."
"Coming right up." He said before taking our a bottle from his back pocket. "Here Carl you might wanna look over the ingredients and see if you're allergic to any of them."
"Thanks Jimmy, you're the best." Carl smiled taking the bottle.
Jimmy handed one to Sheen who started jumping for joy.
"This will send my career through the roof!"
"Just make sure you check the label instead of pouring it on yourself all wildly."
"Daddy!" Marie called out running up to her father only now she was barefoot.
"Hey Marie." he smiled crouching down and hugging her. "What are you doing, and where are your shoes?"
"No shoos." she shook her head. "Too weird."
"Your kid thinks shoes are weird?" Asked Sheen.
"Cut her some slack she's gone her whole life running around barefoot." Jimmy replied. "She's used to running around feeling the sand between her toes."
"Bare feets better." Marie said.
"See? It's nothing weird really." Jimmy said picking her up. "So what's changed since Cindy and I got stranded?"
"Well as you can tell me and my best girl Libby finally made it official. Yup, she just couldn't resist the charm." grinned Sheen puffing his chest out.
"I thought it was because you were making money left and right?" Remarked Carl.
Sheen lost his grin and frowned. "Hey! That's only part of it."
"And what about you Carl?" Jimmy questioned.
"I'm pursuing my lifelong dream of owning a llama farm." he smiled. "It's a little small, but I'm currently working on expanding. Oh and the first llama I bred, I named him Jimmy."
"Wow, that's flattering." smiled Jimmy, somewhat caught off guard. "So do either of you guy have kids yet or am I the only one in the father club?"
"Well Libby's been talking about wanting some, but I try to get her to understand how way more fun it is with just the two of us." remarked Sheen.
"I'm too busy to even think about dating." Carl spoke. "Plus when you've lost one of your best buds in the whole world it kinda makes it hard to really think about it."
"Believe me guys it's totally worth it. I mean yes there are sometimes they make you want to rip you hair out. But seeing your child and the woman who gave birth to them sleeping together it's really something." he smiled fondly. "It fills you up with pride and makes you feel like you'd do anything to make them feel safe happy."
"Wow that's real deep Jim."
"Well being stuck on an island for so long gives you time to think."
"Jim jam!" spoke Hugh walking over. "Let me be the first, no wait, second, or is it third? Anyway, let me just say how proud of you I am. Not just for being safe all this time, but raising your own little girl."
"Thanks dad, and I know it's sudden, but Cindy and I were thinking about going around to see what's changed. You think you and Mom can look after her until we get back?"
"Nothing would make us happier. Why I was just gonna go ahead and show little Marie the wonders of ducks. I still have the big book of ducks I got when I was your age."
"Uh, yeah sure Dad." Jimmy said handing the little girl to his father. "Marie, me and your mother are gonna be out for a little bit, but grandma and grandpa will be here to keep an eye on you."
"Okay Daddy."
"Oh Jimmy before I forget, there someone who's been waiting along time to see you again, out in your lab." Judy spoke.
"Really? Who-no way, he's still here?" he asked when it clicked and smiled.
Judy smiled and held back a giggle. "Go see, you're in for quite a surprise."
Jimmy quickly headed out of the house and to the backyard where the clubhouse still stood. He approached and was about to pluck a hair to hold up to the scanner only to see the scanner was no longer there, it had been replaced with an intercom. "Gonna have to talk to mom and dad about that later." he muttered before holding the button. "Hello? Hello, it's me, Jimmy. Is anyone in there?" He waited for a few moments but got no response, however the door clicked and opened on its own. Jimmy wasted no time before entering. He walked over to the spot and went down the long tube that lead to the lab. However upon reaching the bottom he found a cylindrical white hallway that was like something from a science fiction movie. "What the…. I mean it's cool but… who could have done this?"
He looked around before he began to slowly walk down it. He made his way to the door, which had also been replaced, before it opened. One look inside and Jimmy was shocked. What once was his lab made from cobbled together machines was now and advance enough to be considered from the future. "Wow, what happened to the lab?" he asked as he looked around at all the sleek and pristine machine.
[HELLO JAMES.] spoke a robotic voice from a floating chair in front of a large computer. It turned to reveal a robot with an almost familiar head.
"Goddard?"
The robot stood, on two legs, with an almost human body and moved his arms behind his back. [WELCOME HOME.]
"Wow...you've changed, a lot. But….how?"
[YOU CREATED ME FOR THE PURPOSE OF BEING YOUR COMPANION. BUT THEN YOU LEFT AND I WAS WITHOUT A PURPOSE.] he spoke while gesturing around. [IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER THAT I USED THE TIME TO LEARN, EVOLVE, AND FIND A NEW PURPOSE. IMPROVING UPON THE LAB, MYSELF, AND OF COURSE VOX.]
Suddenly an orb of blue light appeared
[THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION GODDARD.] The orb spoke with Vox's feminine voice.
"Vox?"
[IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN JAMES. YOU WILL BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT IN YOUR ABSENCE GODDARD AND I HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN CONTINUING AND IMPROVING ON YOUR INVENTIONS AND EXPERIMENTS. WE HAVE EVEN MADE A NUMBER OF BREAKTHROUGHS ON OUR OWN. YOU COULD SAY WE ARE THE PERFECT BROTHER AND SISTER TEAM. WE HOPE THIS IS TO YOUR APPROVAL.]
"Honestly, I'm more happy to see you both are ok." he admitted while looking around. "To be honest, I was worried you two would be lost if I never came back. I felt bad about not being able to tell you what happened or where I had been. But this….you've both become far more then I imagined you could be. I'm really impressed."
[OH JAMES, YOU ARE MAKING ME BLUSH.] Vox said turning from blue to pink.
"I just wish I had been there to help you both."
[YOU STILL CAN.] Goddard said. [IN ORDER TO PATON OUR INVENTIONS AND EXPERIMENTS WE REQUIRE A HUMAN SIGNATURE.]
"Now that I can do." Jimmy said. "And while I do that I can fill you in on what happened."
[THAT WOULD BE VERY INFORMATIVE.] remarked Goddard.
After a little chat, and signing a large number of papers that left his hand feeling sore, Jimmy walked out of the clubhouse with Goddard.
"I'm definitely going to be feeling this for a while."
[YOU HAVE MY THANKS JAMES. NOW WE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP PROVIDE A STEADY INCOME WHILE LENDING SOME TO YOUR PARENTS SHOULD THEY NEED IT.]
"It's the least I could do, but uh...do me a favor and keep an eye on my daughter. I love my folks, but I think they could you the extra help."
[NOT TO WORRY. WE ALREADY ADDED AN ELECTRONIC SECURITY AROUND THE HOUSE AFTER WE WERE FINISHED UPGRADING THE SECURITY AROUND THE LAB. NO HARM WILL COME TO HER ON OUR WATCH.]
"Thanks boy, that makes me feel better." smiled Jimmy. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find my wife."
[THE SENSORS INDICATE SHE IS CURRENTLY IN THE LIVING ROOM.]
"See ya Goddard." waved Jimmy before heading back into the house when he found Cindy talking to her mother and Libby who were laughing while Cindy looked embarrassed. "Hey Cindy, I miss anything?" he asked before Cindy's mother and Libby held back their laughter looking at him. "What's so funny?"
"Forget it, let's just go." Cindy said.
He raised an eyebrow confused, but shrugged and followed her as they walked out the front door. "So where to first?"
"I want us to head downtown to see if any of it has really changed."
"Alright then. Let's go." He said wrapping an arm around her.
(Later)
"Huh, it doesn't look like it's changed all that much." remarked Jimmy as they walked down the street and looked at all the stores. "You'd think they would have improved on something after all this time."
"Yeah I mean there are a few new stores but, not much else." Cindy said looking around. "It kinda feels like a let down." she added before an overweight man with dark hair that's thinning around at the top stepped out of the store ahead of them and took notice with a look of surprise.
"Jimmy? Cindy?"
"Yeah, it's us." replied Jimmy, a little confused. "Who are you?"
"It's me, Nick."
That made both their eyes widen in surprise. "Nick?"
"Hey Cindy, did you miss me?" He asked in an attempt to be smooth.
The blonde cringed a little at her former love Interest. "I'm married." she said quickly shoving a hand in his face.
"With me that is." Jimmy clarified.
"Seriously? Damn."
"Yeah, being stuck on an island for so long can do that. Didn't you hear about it in the news?"
"Nah not really, I've been too busy working to bother. I'm saving up to try and buy some stuff for my hair. I'm just on my lunch break right now. Oh crap! My breaks is almost over Sam's gonna kill me!" He said before running off.
"Wow...time's not been good on Nick." Jimmy chuckled.
"Yeah who would have thought he'd turn out like...that."
"I did." Jimmy stated with a grin. "It's always the ones who act like they're too cool for school."
"Aw, someone was jealous." Cindy teased.
"Actually I always kinda figured he'd be working for me after he got you pregnant in a drunken one night stand when you became a teenager." remarked Jimmy with a straight face which surprised Cindy.
"You really thought that?"
"Well this was a stray thought that rang through my head. It was also before you and I became so close. And let's face it back then you were a little... Impressionable."
"And you weren't?" she raised an eyebrow at him and crossed her arms.
"Well….yeah, but I'd say you were a little more impressionable." he tried to counter in his defense.
"Yeah right."
"Oh it's true and you know it." he said.
"Remember Betty?"
"Yeah?"
"What say we pay her a little visit?"
"Slight problem, she might have already moved."
Cindy walked over to a phone booth before she flipped through the pages. "Let's see...let's see….ah ha! Here it is, looks like she still living at the same house. Come on you let's go pay her a visit."
With that the two of them headed out of town and to the neighborhood and arrived at her house. "Okay go and knock."
Jimmy walked up to the door and gave a knock on it. It was another minute before there was an answer.
"Yes? Who is it?" came a woman's voice as the door slowly opened.
"Uh Betty it's me, Jimmy." he spoke as the door fully opened before his eyes nearly bugged out of his head.
"Jimmy?!"
"B...Betty?!"
"Ugh!" Cindy let out in shock. "Hello Betty."
"Wow Jimmy, you really are alive!" spoke the older Betty who had longer hair and wearing an open top dress with the skirt hugging her waist while having gold rings on each finger and having a expensive looking diamond necklace with big, ahem, mounds. Well don't just stand there come in, come in."
"Uh yeah no." spoke Cindy putting a hand on Jimmy's shoulder. "We just wanted to come by for a little visit."
"Oh okay. Wow you two look great, guess island life did you two a favor." she remarked looking the two over, while staring longer at Jimmy which irked Cindy.
"Oh you heard about that?"
"Well who hasn't." Betty replied looking at his body. "You guys are the talk of the whole town. You're big news."
"Well I'd be surprised if we weren't." Jimmy said before Cindy pulled him back.
"So what have you been up to?"
"Just taking a look around town."
"Like all MARRIED couples do." Cindy cut in.
"Wait, you two really DID get hitched?"
"Well not according to the law." Jimmy stated quickly shocking Cindy.
"Oh really now?" Betty questioned before a car pulled up with a screeching halt. "Uh oh."
"What is it?"
"My ex-husband, sorry guys gotta go." She said going back into her house.
"Ex?" Jimmy stated before an angry looking man came out of the car and up to the door.
"Betty! Open up you home wrecking gold digger! I want my money back!"
"We're leaving." whispered Cindy before dragging Jimmy away.
"Okay that I didn't see coming." Jimmy said.
"Yeah, neither did I when you sounded real quick to say we weren't married." Cindy snapped at him.
Jimmy blushed and looked away while rubbing the back of his head. "Cindy it's not like that. I just...I opened my mouth up and said something stupid. I should have made it clear that we're not married LEGALLY because the island didn't have any laws. And did you see her? How could I not say that."
"She looked like some sleazy hooker to me." Cindy replied looking away from him in a huff. "At least I have a natural tan, she probably has to pay a fortune to get one. But I guess that doesn't really matter to you, does it?"
"Cindy it's not true." Jimmy defended. "It's not like you never made a mistake."
"No, but you didn't hear me tell Nick we weren't married!" she snarled poking his chest.
"Why would you keep it from him? The guy was mess!"
"That's not the point, Nerdtron!" She snapped before suddenly gasping and covering her mouth.
Jimmy's eyes widened in shock while stepping back. "Cindy? You….you called me Nerdtron."
"I-I didn't… I mean….it just slipped out." she stumbled while looking away and feeling mortified.
"...I think… we should split up."
"WHAT!?" She quickly turned and shouted.
"Not break up, split up! More like…. spend a little time apart and get our heads cleared." he clarified seeing her horrified expression.
"Oh... yeah." she spoke looking down while holding her hands together. "I think...that might be best right now."
The two said nothing else before they turned and started to walk away
Jimmy ended up in the Candy Bar and started drowning his feelings in milkshakes. He had just finished off his fifth and let out a belch. "Ugh. Hey, Nick, hit me again." he said to his former classmate standing behind the counter cleaning cups.
"You sure about that Neutron? You look like you're hitting them pretty hard. What happened?"
"Me and Cindy had a fight."
"Ouch." he winced. "Let me guess, she asked how much she weighs?"
"Naw, we went to see Betty and I ended up, to put it bluntly, letting my dick do the talking." he admitted looking down while Nick whistled.
"Hey easy on the language in here Neutron, there are kids here, but I don't blame you, she turned into an even bigger babe out of school, most guys around would kill just to get a wink from her. Heck I was almost married to her a couple days ago. Until I found out she's a gold digger."
"I couldn't help it and said me and Cindy weren't legally married. I mean we ARE...kinda, we did our own ceremony on the island as best as we could, in the middle of a monsoon, but I just froze up and couldn't stop myself, now me and Cindy are spending some time away to try and cool down. On the island we hardly ever fought. We're happy, heck we even had our daughter on that island."
"Wow, you two have a kid? Well I guess there's your answer. Just keep her around you guys." he shrugged while looking at the cup. "Some folks when they get together and have kids tend to lose that spark that got them there in the first place. I've been married five times, had no kids, and each time I was divorced."
"That….I don't know how to word it nicely. Divorced five times doesn't seem like it's something you should be proud of."
"Hey, the bright side is I never have to pay alimony."
"Seriously though, you don't want kids?"
"Neutron, do I look like the kind of guy who would wanna spend all his free time worrying about a crying kid or dealing with stuff that keeps me busy from playing video games?"
"You don't know what you're missing." Jimmy said before taking a picture out of his pocket and showed it to Nick. "This is her."
"Wow, from the hair she's definitely Cindy's kid, but she's got your eyes."
"Yeah, helping bring her into this world was hectic but entirely worth it." he smiled looking at it. "That's why I'd never want anything to happen to her or Cindy. To me…. nothing is more important, not even my lab."
"Wow….well then what are you doing here? Shouldn't you tell that to her face?" Nick questioned.
"Hmmm, you might be right. I mean Cindy used my old nickname because I got her upset, so she has a right to be mad. I need to go apologize right away. How much do I owe you?"
"Eh forget about it. Just go." Nick waved off. "Just don't tell Sam if you see him or he'll have my head."
"Thanks Nick, later man." Jimmy said before the two waved each other off.
Once Nick was sure Jimmy was gone he reached down to a phone and quickly dialed a number before waiting for an answer. "Hey uh... Chelsea this is Nick, you still want kids right?"
(Elsewhere)
"Alright, now if I were Cindy, where would I go to cool off?" Jimmy asked himself. That's when he stopped and snapped his fingers. "That's it! The thing she always does when she needs to she needs to blow off steam. Hit things really hard, in other words, Martial arts!" he said and raced off. "I just hope the dojo is still around."
It took a bit of a jog, but soon enough he arrived. He looked through the window and winced since he was seeing Cindy currently judo throwing guys over her shoulder one after another. One guy she kicked in the gut, hard. He winced and saw the guy hold the spot before going down and took a deep breath going inside. "Uh, Cindy?" he spoke before she sent a foot towards his face. 'CRAP!' he thought before her foot collided. He went flying backwards and fell on his back with a groan.
"Oh my gosh! Jimmy!" she cried out seeing what she did and ran over. "Oh no, are you ok? I-I didn't see you there. I didn't even hear you."
"Yep it's just pain, I'll be good." he groaned while she helped him sit up. "I've gotten plenty of your kicks before, this is nothing new. "Let's go somewhere more quiet where we can talk."
"Good idea." she helped him back to his feet and left the dojo with the two going to the park an sat down on a bench. "Ok, now you tell me why you're already looking for me. I thought you said you wanted us to split up and get some time to ourselves?"
"I went to the candy bar, had a few shakes and talked with Nick." he replied while looking up at the sky. "And, as surprisingly as it sounds, it got me thinking. We started fighting AFTER we left Marie with my parents."
Cindy looked down in thought at that. "Huh, you know you're right."
"It's possible she might be the lynch pin that holds our relationship together."
"But what about when she's not around?" asked Cindy. "If she's not around us, what does that make us?"
"Man, this is crazy, when our daughters around we don't fight, but when she not we're at each other's throats." groaned Jimmy covering his face in exasperation. "I don't want anything to happen to you Cindy, and I never want us to break up, but if she's away too long, I'm worried something might cause it."
The two leaned back and sighed.
"Hey Jimmy"
"Yeah?"
"Remember when we first did it?"
"Is that a trick question?" he chuckled. "I could never forget."
"Well apparently, according to Libby and my mom, there a name for it, Doggy Style."
"Really? Huh, well that ruins my name for it."
"And...there's a reason it has the word doggy in it. The one on all fours is the other persons 'bitch'."
"Oh! The name to describe a female dog...oh."
"Yeah that's the reason mom and Libby were cracking up." admitted Cindy with a blush with Jimmy getting his own.
"What about where you're on your back and-"
"It's called missionary."
"Okay what about the time I was laying or sitting down and you-"
"Cowgirl when I'm facing towards you and REVERSE cowgirl when I'm facing away. Apparently there's an entire book on sex positions called Kama Sutra."
"Wow...now I feel kinda disappointed. I thought my names for them were pretty good….Am I the only one getting aroused thinking about them?"
"Trust me, you're not the only one." she said rubbing her legs together.
"...are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Maybe, but do you think we should go to a bookstore to find that book or look it up online before we go to a motel or something?" Cindy asked.
"Why overthink it? Let's go for it." he smiled standing up.
"Sound good to me." she smiled getting up and held his hand before the two ran off.
(Later)
Mrs. Vortex was talking with Judy while Marie was drawing a picture with crayons. Suddenly the phone rang and Hugh reached for it.
"Hello...oh Cindy." he spoke getting the women's attention "...yeah she's here... alright." He the held the phone out to Mrs Vortex. "It's for you."
She took it and held it to her ear. "Yes?"
"Hey Mom, you're not planning on coming back home anytime soon are you?"
"Well I wasn't in any rush, why do you ask?"
"Well Jimmy and I had a little fight, but now we're over here about to 'make up' if you catch my drift."
"Oh! Well if you two need that time together, I can give you all the privacy you need, just remember to clean up when you're done."
"Wow you actually took that better than I thought you would."
"I'm from France dear, I'm no stranger to the pleasures of the flesh." She said making Judy gawk. "Also look for the book under my bed. With your bedroom experience you'll need it." She giggled.
"Gee thanks mom. Rub it in why don't you. I'll talk to you later."
Across the street Cindy groaned as she hung up.
"So what'd she say?" Jimmy asked.
"We're all good." she nodded. "And apparently there's a book under the bed we can use."
After the two went upstairs Cindy reached under the bed and pulled out a white book with no writing on the cover. However when she opened it she saw something that made her gasp with a blush. "Oh...my...gosh."
Jimmy took the book and was at a loss for words as he flipped through it. "Wow, no offense Cindy, but I think your mom is a closet pervert."
"It's hard NOT to agree with that after seeing this."
"Should we...try some of these positions?"
"Part of me says no, but another part of me is screaming yes. So...fuck it let's do it." She said before taking off her top.
Jimmy reached down and began sliding his pants off.
Loud moans and groans rang through the house as the two made love following the books instructions. So many of which pushed their bodies to their physical limitations and then some. It even caused a loud creak to echo which could be heard from outside if one listen close enough.
By the end the two were sweaty, exhausted, and sore in various places. Both of them panted on the bed while laying against the other.
"My gosh...that was...that was… I'm not sure….if there is a single word…. to describe how….that felt." Cindy heaved.
"I feel...more tired...than the first….time we...did it. Also sore… very… very… VERY sore."
"Do you...need some...ice?"
"Can you even….get up… to get it?"
"...not really."
"Me neither." Jimmy shook his head and chuckled along with Cindy before the two waited to catch their breath.
"Okay brainiac, you're the super genius, what are the chances I'm pregnant again?"
"I'd have to estimate about 1,498,938 to 1."
"Great." she muttered while looking at the ceiling as they both went quiet.
"Cindy… I think we should go back to Neutex Island." spoke Jimmy making his wife turn to him with confusion.
"Think about it, if we stay here we're just going to fight again when Marie isn't around." he pointed out while holding her hand. "We haven't been here for a full day, and think about it. We fought, I said something stupid which made you mad and use my old nickname, and we even had to spend some time apart, which I honestly didn't enjoy. I felt lonely and it pained me. Not to mention I don't think the dojo will let you keep showing up to let you knock around their students whenever you need to blow off steam."
"You have a point there. I already broke all the wooden boards before you showed up and just started fighting anyone there."
"I've been thinking, maybe I can sell the formula for our special tanning sunblock. It would make millions, We can buy our island legally, and just live out our lives into our golden years." he suggested making her look concerned.
"But Jimmy, we're back home. We have our friends, family, and Marie could have a chance at being with other kids."
"I know, but...I just feel like things were easier on the island. We lived our lives to survive, did what we wanted, and learned new stuff we didn't before. What if we took a vehicle that could take us on and off the Island then we could bring her here on holidays and summer break, and I can even homeschool her?"
"Well...I guess it would be an improvement, I just don't wanna feel like we're depriving her of seeing our old home and what we learned here."
"Cindy a large percentage of what they teach in schools is just garbage. And never really applies to the students future." remarked Jimmy bluntly. "By the time she becomes a young adult she could give any college graduate a run for their money. Besides if we stay here we'll have to get real jobs with whiny customers and there won't be anytime for love making."
"..."
"Cindy?"
"Get on the phone and call a sunscreen company, right now." she ordered in a straight tone and serious expression. "don't take no for an answer if they try to hang up on you, and make sure we get royalties, GO!"
"Yes ma'am." he nodded as he tried to get up and winced, but pushed himself to get out of bed and went to the phone.
Later the two got redressed and went back to the Neutron residences. Thankfully they used some strong perfume to cover the smell on them before they left though.
"Mom! Dad! We're back!" called Jimmy as they entered the house. "Sorry it took us longer than we thought."
"Not a problem jimjam." Said his father. "Just as long as you're home."
"How was your...walk?" asked Judy with a light blush.
"It was... interesting." Cindy said.
"Oh I'm sure." whispered her mother with a chuckle while Marie ran over and hugged her parents by their legs.
"Mama, daddy!"
"Hey sweetie, did you have fun?"
"Uh huh. I drawed pictures." she smiled before running over and picked one up before holding it out to them. "Look."
Both parents were surprised to see it was their treehouse. The detail alone was surprisingly advanced for a two year old.
"You like it?" she asked her parents.
"Great another genius in the family to make me look bad." Muttered Cindy in a joking tone before rubbing Marie's head. "It looks beautiful sweetie. Is that the treehouse?"
"Uh huh."
"You wanna go back to the Island too huh?" Asked Jimmy.
She nodded her head with his parents looking surprised and confused.
"Jimmy?" spoke Judy. "Are you really wanting to go back to that island? Why?"
"It's not that we don't want to stay mom, but we just don't think our relationship can survive here." he answered rubbing the back of his head. "We've spent so long on the island that, maybe we should be where we feel the most happy at. You understand right?"
"But jimjam, there's so much stuff you could learn. Like how nowadays they have these new fangled touch screen thingamajigs that makes things so much easier." spoke Hugh. "Why would you wanna go back to a backwater Island?"
"Peace and quiet, no bills to pay, exotic fruit whenever we want, all the time in the world to goof off." Jimmy started listing off.
"...Ok those are some very good reasons."
"But what about Marie?" asked his mother.
"We got a plan for her. Home school and visits back here on the holidays." replied Cindy. "This way she can still see you all and we can make sure she's smart and knowledgeable on the outside world."
"Once we sell our sunblock formula we'll buy our island." spoke Jimmy. "That way we can legally be married to anyone who comes by and we have the right to our privacy. I already have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow. We wanna go back as soon as possible."
"But...we haven't seen you in years, we thought you were gone." spoke Judy while looking a little misty eyed with Hugh putting a hand on her back.
"I'm sorry mom, but this environment is bad for our us, we don't want to risk having another fight. Especially in front of Marie." spoke Jimmy patting his little girl's head. "It doesn't mean we won't see you again, and if you think about it, we're buying our own home without worrying about someone coming by and buying it and kicking us off it. This way we're not breaking any laws. And you can even come visit now"
"Judy, he's right." spoke Hugh with a serious tone while looking sad. "As much as it's painful, we have to let them do this. The important thing is we know they're safe and sound and found happiness there. We have no right to keep that from them."
"I suppose you're right." she sighed while standing up and walking over to her son. "Just don't forget to write, alright?"
"Right….but we may be here for awhile until the paperwork gets through." Jimmy said with a hinting smile. "So until it does, we'll need a place to crash in the meantime. Any recommendations?"
"You can stay here!" Hugh piped up quickly with a smile. "You can use your old bedroom, we made sure to keep it exactly the same as how you left it."
"Oh boy." muttered Jimmy with dread.
