Chapter 5: Rescue Mission (Sorta)

Takes place between when Jimmy tried to escape and when he woke up later with mixed feelings in his mind.

Meanwhile outside the house at 7pm, Sheen, Carl, and Ike were hiding on the porch of Cindy's contemplating what to do before it was too late. Sheen was thinking of a full-frontal assault. Carl was thinking stealth was the key, because he was too afraid of getting caught. Ike was considering a distraction.

"Wait a minute. Don't we need a spy, or something," Ike wondered.

"Well we would have Goddard take care of stuff, but he was sold to someone else," Sheen answered.

"Maybe we can be spies. You know I had a song just in case we become spys." Carl then broke into song. "We're spies! WE'RE GOING TO RESCUE JIMMY FROM THE EVIL CLUTCHES OF-". All of the sudden, Sheen and Ike covered Carl's mouth from singing any further.

"What was that?" a voice from inside asked.

It was only seconds before they got caught, so they had to think of something quickly. Ike then remembered he got a fund raiser in his pocket to sponsor the school food drive. He quickly went to the door. Once it opened, it revealed Sasha Vortex.

"What do you want," She asked impatiently.

"I'm here to sponsor the school food drive, man." Ike answered completely in character. "And I was wondering if you could support it. Any amount would be fine."

"I don't have time to waste with insuffience. Now leave before you make any regrets." Mrs. Vortex threatened.

"WAIT!" Ike then thought of guilt-tripping. "If you don't pay any money, many will starve-"

"Not buying it." She said as she was about to close the door.

"And you could um... win this free five-star three night hotel voucher," Ike answered in order to think of a convincing way. He had it for a potential trip to Brooklyn, but the trip was cancelled. "You can take four other people. The more you pay, the higher your chances are of winning that trip."

"Okay, you have me." She said changing her mind. "I'll be right back!" She says excitedly as she runs to the kitchen to get some money.

"You guys can come out now." Ike signals Carl and Sheen to come out from behind the bush. Then whispers, "I'll keep her busy, you two sneak upstairs and get him out of there."

Carl and Sheen tip-toe upstairs to reach Cindy's room. Just as they were about to open the door, Cindy came out of the bathroom and saw Carl and Sheen.

"What are you two geeks doing here!?" Cindy asked infuriatingly.

"Uh... We were hungry." Sheen lied, but he was hungry for something.

"Y-yeah," Carl played along. "Can we come in and have something to eat?"

"Sure, follow me. I'm baking something special in my easy-bake oven right now and I needed someone to taste test it," Cindy says as she leads Carl to the basement and seemingly forgets about Sheen.

Carl then for some reason started to daydream.

"Sorry this place is such a mess. You know how it is when you have dogs in the house." Cindy trailed off, and saw Carl staring at all the Jimmy Neutron pictures and hand-crafted plushies in the basement.

"What're you looking at!?" Cindy said suddenly angry.

"I- um... nothing." Carl barely said very nervously.

"Well special cookies straight from the oven." Cindy gets a batch of cookies out of the oven. "It's Neutron cookies! Each one for every time-" Now starting to sound crazy. "-Neutron beat me in assginments. Better get some until the cookie crumbles. Hahahaha. HAHAHAHAHA!"

"AHHHHH!" Carl suddenly woke up in the basement to see Cindy glaring at him. He looked around to see it was just a regular basement and saw only an oven. He felt slightly relieved.

"Er...Sorry. I must've been imagining the worst." Carl apologized.

"You're lucky I didn't pound you at first, much less offer you food." Cindy still glaring at Carl, giving him some pie. Carl taste tested it.

"Mmm... This is delicous!" Carl enjoyed the rest of the pie.

"Glad you like it!" Cindy said, "Now count from 100."

"Okay. Umm... 100, 99, 98...98... What's after 98?" Carl then immediately passes out with Cindy grinning evily. Cindy then hears an alarm in her phone saying security breach. Cindy then runs upstairs after taping Carl to the floor.

Meanwhile in Jimmy's room. Sheen pulls the tape and body cast off of Jimmy who is glad to see him. "Hurry! To the window!" Sheen shouted.

"No you can't. Ever since she 'rescued' me she put this room on lockdown, and I think you triggered an alarm that I was forced to make. If the time runs out, a knock-out gas will emmit into the air."

"What's a knock-out gas?" Sheen asked dumbfounded.

"Ugh...You fall asleep..." Jimmy said slightly annoyed. "It's too late for us to escape since the door closed on you. Only Cindy's DNA can get you out, but her room is kept tidy, but you can get the instructions on how to diffuse the device. She used my hypno beam to make me forget how I did it."

"Roger that!" Sheen said and did as he told. Jimmy opened up the device.

"I got 10 seconds left. What do I do?"

"Cut the black and blue wire!" Sheen said as he read off the paper.

"Alright cool-" Jimmy was about to cut the wires when suddenly-

"W-w-wait!" Sheen interrupted as he continued reading. "Go for the white!"

"Are you sure?" Jimmy asked worried.

"Uh..."

"Hurry up!"

"AH STOP YELLING AT ME!" Sheen shouted.

"Get it together!" Jimmy told him.

Suddenly, the gas emerged from the alarm with Sheen and Jimmy falling to the floor. The last things they see is the door opening and Cindy with her hands on her hips. And sees a paper on the floor. It said:

How to defuse a knock-out gas alarm:

If the blue wire is cut in conjuction with the black wire, the device will shut down, but only if the gold and white wires are cut first.

If the white wire is cut before the black wire, the gas will release.

DO NOT CUT ANY WIRES

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, IT'S TOO LATE

Cindy grins at her plan working. She then decides to use the Love Potion 976-J on Jimmy, and tape him back to the bed, forgetting about the body cast. She told Jimmy to make it for her no questions asked. She also hypnotizes Jimmy in his sleep to make him forget this past hour. She then moves Sheen down to the basement with Carl taped with him.

Meanwhile, Ike finally did business and Sasha got the Voucher. He then thought they just take it from there. He then walked out, when he saw Cindy appear right in front of him. "Uh, I can explain."

"You probably assisted in this 'rescue mission'." Cindy stated in a stern tone.

"N-no I didn't! I-"

"Listen here bucko! Since you got Jimmy, Libby, my parents and I a free trip across the US, I'll let you go. Carl Sheen and Jimmy are my hostages. I might consider letting, the first two leave once they've learned their lesson. Neutron on the other hand, will stay my lov- servant until the end of time. If you tell anyone, and I mean anyone, I'll find you. And I'll put you in the basement with Carl and Sheen. Got it!?"

"O-Okay! You got it miss. I'll... head... back... to... my... crib..." Ike stuttered nervously and ran off.

Cindy then heads back to her room and then has a sudden desire, she couldn't keep in any longer, and starts smooching Jimmy all over the face and there was nothing he could do about it. He'll forget about the attempt to escape with Sheen, and he'll wake up with a crush on Cindy. She then fell asleep happily.

Everything's looking up...
