It was morning in the city of Retroville. At the Neutron household Jimmy was tinkering with a new invention at the kitchen table while Hugh and Penelope were enjoying breakfast. Hugh made airplane noises as he played with his food. Judy walked into the kitchen and she quickly noticed the contraption on the table. "Jimmy what are you doing? What is that thing?" Judy asked.
Jimmy looked at his mother. "Mom I give you the JuiceBot three thousand get ready for fresh squeezed OJ at the speed of sound." Jimmy said with excitement in his voice. Penelope gave her brother a thumb up as she finished her breakfast. "Oh ho Jimmy perhaps you should get your father to help you." Judy suggested with a slight hint of concern. Judy looked over at Hugh who continued playing with his food.
"No sausage fort is strong enough to withstand the infinite power of Johnny waffle and his sidekick Bagel Boy." said Hugh. Goddard barked excitedly. Penelope snickered a little at her fathers goofiness. Judy and Jimmy looked at each other a little concerned with the idea of Hugh helping out. "Maybe I'll help you." Judy told her son.
Jimmy smiled at this idea, but Judy wasn't finished. "O-or better yet there's a brand new carton of juice in the refrigerator." Judy said a little apprehensively. Jimmy's mouth fell open a little shocked at his mothers suggestion. Penelope couldn't blame either of them. Jimmy wanted to try his new invention out and Judy didn't want to make a mess which was understandable on both parts.
"Now, now you can't beat the savory zing of fresh squeezed go ahead fire it up, Jimbo." said Hugh. "You got it Dad, initiate juice sequence." Jimmy replied. Jimmy flipped the switch on the device activating it. A funnel on the front moved pointing in the direction of the orange tree out in the backyard and activated it's suction. The suction was so strong oranges were being easily picked off the tree and flew towards the open window into the JuiceBot.
The JuiceBot continued to suck up oranges. Hugh watched the machine excited. Jimmy had a proud look on his face. Penelope smiled as the Juicebot did it's work. The machine was working so well it seemed like nothing could go wrong, but then the machine began to sputter and short out.
Goddard started barking frantically as Penelope's face paled. "Lookout she's gonna blow!" Hugh cried. Jimmy quickly flipped the switch to reverse on the machine. The JuiceBot's suction went into reverse, but instead of expelling oranges the tube on the end of the machine began crazily sucking up things from all over the kitchen. All four Neutron's screamed as they dodged everything being sucked up and dealing with the suction as well.
"Jimmy! Turn this thing off!" Judy shrieked. "Watch out!" Jimmy warned everyone. "Bagel Boy!" Hugh cried as his bagel flew out of his hand. The next thing everyone knew some of the stuff from the kitchen was sent flying out the window into the sky. The items from the kitchen rocketed all the way up into space.
The said items all hit a meteor bouncing off of it, but the meteor due to the collision changed trajectory and made it's way towards Earth bound for Retroville. Back with the Neutron's the kitchen was in shambles. There was food scattered on the floor or splattered on the walls, kitchen utilities were scattered and the wall paper was torn. "Aw he gave his life for ours, we'll miss you Johnny waffle." said Hugh. A drop of juice dripped out of the JuiceBot's tube and into a glass.
"Ha see i-it worked." Jimmy said sheepishly. Judy however was upset as she looked around at the mess Jimmy's invention had made. "My kitchen is ruined." Judy said sadly hanging her head. Jimmy wanting to fix his mistake spoke up. "Well I'll clean it up Mom I promise I'll invent a Robo Maid and I'll program her to use the vacuum and the bro-" Jimmy started, but Judy cut him off.
"I've had enough of your inventions for one-day young man." Judy said with stress in her voice. "But, but I-" Jimmy began, but was cut off again. "Now you just march yourself off to school with your sister." Judy told him. "Ah, but Mom I-I" Jimmy sputtered a little. "I said march." Judy said authoritatively.
"I'm going." Jimmy muttered as he began to leave the kitchen. Penelope followed after him. She looked at her brother sympathetically. "Honestly, Jimmy sometimes I wish you weren't such a little genius." Judy confessed. Penelope's eyes widened upon hearing this.
'She, she doesn't mean that does she?' Penelope thought worriedly. Jimmy sadly hung his head a little as they both exited the kitchen. Later at school Carl and Sheen were in the hall playing with Sheen's Ultra Lord and Robo Fiend action figures. Sheen was having fun, but Carl was wincing as they pretended to make the toys clash. "I've disarmed your particle beam Robo Fiend you have no choice, but to surrender." said Sheen.
"Get back Ultra Lord don't make me pinch you!" Carl cried. "A- don't make me pinch you? You know what? I don't think your ready for these. These are intergalactic warriors you know." Sheen told Carl. "Soooo? Pinching still hurts." Carl pointed out. "No it doesn't." said Sheen. To prove his point Carl reached over and pinched Sheen on his shoulder.
"Ow!" Sheen winced. "Haha told you." said Carl. Carl noticed Jimmy and Penelope trudging up towards Jimmy's locker. "Oh, hey Jim. Hey Penelope." Carl greeted. Penelope waved, but Jimmy didn't even respond as he turned to his locker.
A scanner built into the locker scanned Jimmy's eye. "Identity confirmed." Jimmy's computer VOX said. The locker opened allowing Jimmy to get his school books out. Carl noticed the troubled look on Jimmy's face as he grabbed his books. "You okay Jimmy cause ya know you look kinda down?" Carl asked concerned.
"Oh, Carl it's just that sometimes it's a heavy burden being a man of science." Jimmy replied gloomily. "I know what you mean Jimmy that's why I decided early on to sabotage my highly scientific mind with cartoons and sugar." Sheen told Jimmy. "I guess it's too late for me, but can't I just get one day where being a genius doesn't mess up my whole life?" Jimmy cried. "Oh, Jimmy." Penelope said sympathetically. She placed a hand on her twins shoulder to let him know she was there for him.
"Hahaha talk about kismet." Carl replied. Sheen not knowing what the word meant had a confused look on his face and mouthed the word as Carl continued. "Jimmy this is your lucky day cause after everyone gets a load of my science project hehehe there's gonna be a new genius in town." Carl snorted at the end of his sentence. Jimmy, Penelope and Sheen stared at Carl a little perplexed. Later on in class Carl stood in front of the class presenting his science project which was revealed to be a hot dog bun. "A hot dog holder?" Miss Fowl cried surprised.
"Actually the hot dog holder deluxe also known as the Versi-Bun." Carl replied. Jimmy looked over at Tina shaking his head with a small smile. Penelope shook her head as well. 'Typical Carl.' Penelope thought. "It not only holds hot dogs it is also a stylish hat, a butterfly with fat wings. A comfy seat cushion at your favorite sporting event aaaand! As quickly as you see it right before your very eyes it's gone!" Carl explained before stuffing the hot dog bun into his mouth.
"Oooh what happened to the hotdog holder deluxe?" Carl said in a slightly eerie voice. "I see bwaAA, maybe next time you can team up with Jimmy." said Miss Fowl as Carl walked back to his desk. "Well thank you Miss Fowl I would be more than happy to give my good friend a hand." Carl replied as he sat down. "Now what do you have to share with us today? Raaawck." Miss Fowl asked while turning her attention to Jimmy. "Oh it's nothing really it's just a magnetic polarity TV tray." Jimmy said a little modestly.
Jimmy removed his hands from the TV tray that had a set of plates on it. The moment he did the plates started floating. Penelope watched intrigued. "See the magnets in the tray repel against the magnets in the plates suspending them in midair." Jimmy explained. 'Leave it to my brother to come up with something cool.' Penelope thought.
"Sweet mother mcgreaaaay look class bwaaack the plates are floating." Miss Fowl cried amazed. However the rest of the class except for Carl, Sheen and Penelope all just groaned in response. "Dude!" cried Butch. "Jimmy! He does it again." Libby complained. "Come on man!" Nick cried. "Why do we even bother." said Amber.
Penelope rolled her eyes. 'What does everyone think this is a contest?!' Penelope thought a little angrily. "Wait a minute I don't give up!" Cindy said getting everyone's attention. "My science project is just as good as Neutron's. See it's a paper mache model of Mount Vesuvius and when I squeeze this pump chocolate sauce lava engulfs the gumdrop citizens of Pompei!" Cindy explained. 'It's nice Cindy, but not as good my brothers project. Sorry.' Penelope thought to herself.
"Look, Cindy, Jimmy's plates are floating." said Miss Fowl. "Ooh Neutron why don't you just go to college and leave us all alone." Cindy sighed. "Yeah. Yeah! You're making us all look bad Neutron! I know!" Amber, Rose and Butch complained. Jimmy hung his head a little. "Why don't you all just leave my brother alone?!" Penelope snapped as she glared at her peers.
Before anyone could even make a snarky remark the schools principal Principal Willoughby entered the classroom. He looked like he was in a good mood. "Good news everyone, Jimmy Neutron's state test scores were the highest in world history." Principal Willoughby said cheerfully. Everyone except for Carl, Sheen and Penelope glared at Jimmy. Jimmy feeling everyone's angry stares cowered in his seat as the bell rang ending the class.
"Okay time for recess. No one go near Jimmy's head! It's precious cargo." Principal Willoughby told everyone as they all started leaving the classroom. Jimmy frowned a little as he watched the other kids leave. He noticed Libby walking by and spoke up. "I liked your project Libby." said Jimmy. "Aagh! Talk to the skull." Libby replied.
Penelope who was still in the classroom stuck her tongue out at Libby as she left. Jimmy once again hung his head as he started to mope. Penelope didn't like seeing her brother like this. He was having a bad day, but she could only hope tomorrow would be better for him. Penelope approached her brothers desk and was about to say something when Jimmy spoke up.
"Aw, what's the point of being smart if it just makes me miserable?" Jimmy said as he continued to mope. Jimmy after saying these words smiled as he suddenly came up with an idea. "Hey, that's it!" Jimmy cried. The school janitor Gus came up to Jimmy and Penelope with a light bulb in hand. "Excuse me kids I need to change the bulb." Gus told the twins.
Jimmy shook his head, but got out of his seat and left for recess with Penelope. Sometime later after school Jimmy called Penelope, Carl and Sheen to the lab. "Gentlemen and lady I give you the brain drain 8000 the same dumbing down technology used by top radio personalities." Jimmy explained to them as he presented his new invention. The device was a metal helmet with a large light bulb on top along with small colored light bulbs and a scale reader on the front. Penelope stared at the device for a moment.
Then realization hit her. 'Jimmy wouldn't really drain his own brain would he?' Penelope thought worriedly. "Cool! Put it on Jimmy, put it on." Sheen cried excitedly. "Eh hold the phone Jimmy maybe you shouldn't drain your brain." Carl piped in as Jimmy put the helmet on. "Ah being smart gets me nothing, but trouble Carl I just want an average ordinary nothing special brain. Like you guys." Jimmy replied.
"But what if you don't like it?" Carl asked. "Yeah Carl has a point about that Jimmy." Penelope pointed out. "No problem then I just reverse the polarity of the electron counterbalances in the helmet and get smart all over again." said Jimmy. "Yeah Carl, all you gotta do is reverse the polar berries to the cra-cranberry electronic power- turn it on! Turn it on!" said Sheen. "Initialize brain drain." said Jimmy.
Jimmy turned to a small radio pulling the slider and activated the helmet setting it to a setting labeled normal. Without anyone noticing the slider shorted out and slid to the setting labeled drool monkey. Jimmy stood still as the helmet did it's work. Not long after Jimmy had a rather odd look on his face. Penelope looked at her brother puzzled.
Something felt off, but what? "Wow look at him he looks sooo similar." said Sheen. "Ah that's okay Jim there's always next time." Carl gently told his friend. Jimmy instead of expressing disappointment looked at the radio intrigued with the antenna. "Shiny? Shiny I like shiny." Jimmy cried excitedly.
Penelope's eyes widened at what she was seeing. "It worked." Carl and Sheen shouted in unison. "Hey, have you guys seen my loopy dance?" Jimmy asked. Jimmy then started dancing a rather silly looking dance. "Haha, I'm loopy, I'm loopy, I'm loopy, loopy, loopy." Jimmy cried as he danced.
Carl watched Jimmy looking a little perplexed. "Auh normal Jimmy seems kinda dumb." said Carl. "I'm loopy." Jimmy said as he continued to dance. "Yeah he's pretty messed up." Sheen agreed. "Loopy, loopy, loopy." Jimmy continued.
"I like him." said Carl. "Can we keep him?" Sheen asked. Penelope shook her head in disbelief. The helmet had drained Jimmy's brain alright, but something went wrong instead of making his IQ average it had drained it to the point of below average. "He's...he's stupid completely stupid!" Penelope said shocked.
Unfortunately Carl and Sheen weren't paying attention to what Penelope was saying. With that Carl and Sheen decided to spend time playing around with the now dumb Jimmy. At the park while it was still early in the day Carl had a frisbee. Jimmy eagerly waited for Carl to throw it. Carl held the frisbee up and pretended to throw it.
Jimmy being dumb fell for Carl's trick rather easily and ran around trying to find the frisbee. Back at the lab Carl wrote 'ABC' on Jimmy's chalkboard. Jimmy instead of writing a letter on the board wrote the number seven before sticking the piece of chalk he had up his nose. Later in the park Carl played his trick with the frisbee again. "Hehehe." Carl laughed thinking it was funny.
Sometime in the late afternoon Sheen stopped Jimmy to play a trick of his own. "I got your nose." Sheen told Jimmy as he pretended to take his nose. "Waah my nose my nose!" Jimmy panicked. "Give him his nose back, Sheen!" Carl cried. Penelope shook her head as the two did silly things with Jimmy.
Sure Jimmy was happy, but Penelope was worried Jimmy might get made fun of for acting so silly and being stupid. She watched as Carl once more did his trick with the frisbee. Jimmy kept running around until the sun had set. Carl started walking away shaking his head having lost interest in tricking Jimmy with the frisbee leaving Jimmy behind in the park. Penelope not wanting to leave Jimmy behind walked up to her brother and stopped him.
"Come on Jimmy, we're going home now." Penelope said taking her brothers hand. "Okay big girl!" Jimmy replied cheerfully. Penelope sighed as she lead her brother out of the park. "If worst comes to worst I could always try to make Jimmy smart again." Penelope muttered. Not long after getting home Carl and Sheen dragged Jimmy back down into the lab to do more goofy things.
Jimmy once again did his loopy dance. Carl and Sheen joined in, but Penelope didn't at least until both boys badgered her to join in. "We're loopy, we're loopy, we're loopy, loopy, loopy." the four said as they danced. "Haha alright." Carl cried. Carl and Sheen definitely had a lot of fun goofing off.
The next day at school Miss Fowl was in front of the class writing a math problem on the black board. Once she finished she faced her students. "Okay who can tell me the square root of 144 bwraayk." said Miss Fowl. Jimmy raised his hand. "I know eleventy-six!" Jimmy said cheerfully.
Miss Fowl looked at Jimmy a little perplexed for a moment. "Well noo I'm sorry rwwa that's wrong." Miss Fowl replied. The whole class except for Penelope, Carl and Sheen gasped in shock. Cindy raised her hand. "Cindy?" Miss Fowl asked.
"Twelve." Cindy answered as she shot Jimmy a smug look of satisfaction. "That's right bwack." said Miss Fowl. Penelope glared at Cindy a little. She could tell Cindy was enjoying her moment of being smarter than Jimmy. 'That's it I can't take this anymore. After school I'm taking Jimmy to the lab and fixing this mess!' Penelope thought.
"Yes! Let the record show that for one shinning moment I was smarter than freak brain!" Cindy said joyfully. "That means I Cindy Vortex can assume my rightful place as the smartest kid in- ha uh huh?" Cindy continued before something caught her eye. She looked out the window and pointed in shock at something in the sky that was speeding towards Retroville. All the other students and Miss Fowl looked out the window. "That's a meteor! And it's headed right for us!" Miss Fowl yelled. Everyone except for Jimmy started screaming.
Everyone started running out of the classroom with their hands over their heads, but Jimmy unaware of the danger remained seated. Penelope noticing this quickly grabbed her brothers hand and made him get out of his seat before joining the others outside. Once outside Miss Fowl stood in front of her students. Principal Willoughby who had heard the commotion was also outside standing to the left of everyone. "Alright children now everyone, stand in an orderly fashion as we await our imminent doom!" Miss Fowl told her students with fear in her voice.
As the class panicked a limo pulled up in front of the school. The window rolled down revealing the Mayor of Retroville, Mayor Quadar. He looked out scanning the crowd of children. "Nha which one of you's Jimmy Neutron?" Mayor Quadar asked pointing a finger out the window. Sheen stepped forward rapidly pushing Jimmy in front of him.
It was rather easy since Jimmy was unfocused and not even paying attention to the world around him. He stopped once they were both next to the limo. "Here, he's right here sir." Sheen said addressing the Mayor. "Neutron, I'm Mayor Quadar a meteors heading straight for town and you have to help us destroy it." Mayor Quadar told Jimmy. Instead of a normal answer Jimmy held his tongue as he spoke resulting in him speaking in absolute gibberish.
"Alright boys now to the underground super safe bomb shelter." said Mayor Quadar. The limo then took off down the street. "Okay he lost my vote." said Sheen. "Sheen that's not important right now." Penelope told her friend. "What do we do Cindy?" Libby asked hoping her friend could think of something.
"Everybody stop looking at me! It's not my fault Neutron got stupid just as a meteors about to hit!" Cindy cried. "Come on Neutron do one of your brain blast deals." Cindy told Jimmy desperately. Jimmy put his finger to his head in thought. Under normal circumstances Jimmy would have come up with an amazing idea of what to do, but the only thing that came to mind was a toy monkey playing symbols. "Haha funny monkey huagh." Jimmy said giddily before sticking a finger in his ear.
Jimmy pulled his finger out of his ear now covered in earwax then stuck it in his mouth practically eating his own earwax. "We're all doomed!" Sheen cried. "Ooh I wish Jimmy hadn't made himself so dumb!" said Carl. "What!?" Cindy shouted in disbelief. "Well you see Jimmy was in his lab alone and he ju-" Carl started to explain, but Cindy cut him off.
"Just show me!" Cindy snapped as she grabbed Carl and yanked him away. The six of them quickly made their way to the lab. Once there Cindy placed the brain drain helmet onto Jimmy's head. "Okay Neutron how does this thing work?" Cindy asked gesturing to the radio with the helmets controls. "I don't know Susie." Jimmy replied.
"It's Cindy!" Cindy corrected. "You're kinda cute." Jimmy said with a goofy smile. Cindy reeled back as she made a face. "Aagh I'll wing it." said Cindy. She cranked the setting on the helmet past normal, and past Ben stein all the way up to Einstein.
The helmet activated. Jimmy just stood there for a moment not moving. "So? Are you a big genius show-off butt brain again?" Cindy demanded. "I'm not sure? Of course, what is genius but an artificial construct in the guise of an empirical truth." Jimmy replied. Penelope smiled at this. "Hey I didn't understand a word he said! He's back!" Carl cried happily.
"Yeah!" said Sheen. "Woo!" Carl and Sheen sighed in relief. "Okay brainiac we don't have much time there's a big flaming meteor heading right for us!" Cindy explained quickly. With that Jimmy quickly got to work. Back at the school Jimmy had his Strato XL rocket parked outside the school making the final adjustments he needed.
"Aren't those the plates from your TV tray Jimmy?" Miss Fowl asked. "Yup I'm gonna increase the power of these magnetic plates so they'll repel the metals in the meteor and force it back into space!" Jimmy explained. "Of course! That's nice." said Miss Fowl. Jimmy hopped into his rocket and activated it. "Turbines to speed and lift off!" Jimmy cried as the rocket took off into the air.
"You can do it Jimmy!" Penelope shouted from the ground. Jimmy flew the rocket high into the air increasing the speed a little. "Gotta get closer." said Jimmy as he piloted the rocket. Jimmy flew the rocket closer to the meteor. He could feel the intense heat on his face as he was soon barely feet away from it.
"Eat magnets space rock!" Jimmy cried as he activated the magnets. The increased power in the magnets poured out stopping the meteor from going any further until it moved back a little and finally it was pushed back so hard it shot back up into the sky all the way back into space out of Earth's orbit. Down below on the ground everyone cheered as the meteor was soon out of sight. Jimmy smiled as he flew his rocket. "Come on brain ol' buddy let's go home." Jimmy said happily.
Not long after landing his rocket Cindy was trying to brag to others about how she helped Jimmy, but no one was really buying it so far all it earned her was skeptical looks. "Tell them Neutron tell them how I helped you save Retroville." Cindy said as Jimmy was passing by her. "I'm sorry miss do I know you?" Jimmy said with a hint of sarcasm. "Very funny Neutron next time a meteors hurtling towards Earth and you've zapped your intelligence with brain-draining technology don't come crying to me." Cindy retorted. Penelope as soon as she saw her brother she hugged him.
"I love you Jimmy." Penelope told her twin. "I love you too." Jimmy replied returning his sisters hug. Penelope smiled she was glad to have Jimmy back, the real Jimmy. As for Jimmy he knew his sister liked him the way he is and always would no matter how smart he was. The two broke the hug then met up with Carl and Sheen who were standing by the school statue.
"Oh like that was so awesome Jimmy!" said Carl. "Yeah dumb Jimmy was a lot of fun! He was loopy! I'm loopy." Sheen cried. Sheen started doing the loopy dance. Carl joined in. "We're loopy! We're loopy!" the two said in sing-song manner.
Jimmy and Penelope looked at each other for a moment then shrugged before joining in as well. "We're loopy, we're loopy, I'm loopy." the four said as they danced. The four smiled as they acted silly, but it didn't take too long for them to get a little uncomfortable. "Hey haha." Carl said a little nervously. "Okay I think we should stop." said Sheen. The four stopped dancing, but it would be safe to say Jimmy wouldn't be dumbing himself down again.
Well how was it? R&R. Tips on what I can do to improve welcome. No flamers please.
