Chapter 7: A Sixth Sense
Jimmy and Cindy sighed, and stood up and walked to the kitchen again.
"Right here Carl," Said Jimmy as they entered to kitchen.
"Where were you two?" Ask Libby, who was obviously interested.
They both hesitated for a moment and Cindy said, "We where just in the living room, just talking."
Libby, Carl, and Sheen all had their arm's crossed, with unbelieving looks.
"Sure you where," Said Libby.
"Yeah, you know I didn't hear that much talking," Said Carl.
"Neither did me or Ultra Lord!" Said Sheen, holding up one of his Ultra Lord action figures in his hands, he pressed a button on Ultra Lord and then Ultra Lord said, "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"
Jimmy then tried to change the subject, "Well we just didn't talk loudly or that much, now where did my dad go?"
Libby rolled her eyes, "Your dad left the house, he said he'd be right back. And quit trying to change the subject! I think I heard Cindy talking for a moment, and maybe Jimmy saying like one word and that was it, like total silence!"
Cindy nodded, "And that's what it all was! Total silence, nothing else!"
The three other kids stared at them in total disbelief.
Then Mrs. Neutron entered the room, "I can't get the poor dear to calm down, she keeps on talking about how terrible things are going to be as an orphan, and she just can't seem to get it in her head that we'll figure out a way for us to be her god parents/family."
Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other for a moment, as if read each others minds.
Cindy then said, "Mrs. Neutron, would it be alright if me and Jimmy go up to Jenny's room and try to talk to her?"
Jimmy nodded in agreement, not only did he want him and Cindy to cheer up Jenny, but he also wanted to get out of that sticky situation of a conversation they had just been in, as he did not want anyone thinking he had just kissed Cindy Vortex, in which he HAD NOT, and he did secretly want to, but then again that would probably be just plain weird, but any conversation would be better than the one Libby, Sheen and Carl had been trying to start up.
Cindy fallowed Jimmy upstairs, looking at the pictures hanging on the wall and sort of smiling at the ones of Jimmy. Suddenly it seemed as if Goddard appeared out of no where and started fallowing Jimmy and Cindy.
Jimmy and Cindy stopped in front of Jenny's room, they could hear a loud crying inside, they looked at each other for a moment, with a worried look, and Cindy nodded for approving to go ahead inside.
Jimmy slowly opened the door, "Jenny?"
Jenny was laying face down on her bed, her face was buried in a pillow, "What?" She mumbled under her sobs which where covered up by the pillow.
Cindy closed the door as Goddard came in and they walked up to Jenny.
Cindy then said, "Hey Jenny."
Jenny didn't reply, just sniffling and sobbing more.
Jimmy looked to Cindy, stared at her for a moment, thoughtfully … then he looked back at Jenny, "Look Jennifer, come on, sit up."
Jimmy gestured Cindy to sit down with him and pull Jenny up, Cindy nodded, and they carefully pulled up Jenny, her face was stained with tears and her eyes where all red.
She sat up at the edge of the side of her bed and Jimmy sat on one side of her and Cindy sat on the other side.
Jenny's hair was out of it's low pig tails and it was all out but a little wiggly and seemed a bit tangled.
Jimmy wrapped his arm around her shoulder, just as he had done to Cindy only a few minutes ago.
"Jenny, what would you like, right now?" Jimmy asked, and Cindy didn't see too much for this on why it was that important but she pretended to play apart of this.
Jenny sniffled for a moment and said, "You mean besides that I could live her in Retroville with you family Jimmy?"
Jimmy nodded, "Yes, besides that, because I will let you know, that no matter what we are most defiantly going to make sure you stay here, but that's going to take a lot of work, so is there anything you want now, just tell us."
Cindy also nodded, "We're your friends, and we always will be, if there is anything you need or want, anything at all, just let us know."
Jenny smiled and shrugged, "But the things I want can't be store bought or made, they have to be achieved, and based on fate and destiny."
Cindy and Jimmy looked at each other for a moment and then looked back at Jenny.
"What do you mean based on fate and destiny?" Cindy asked.
Jenny cleared her throat and pushed some old tears off her face, she was no longer crying but she defiantly looked like she had been crying, and she sort of gave a small laugh.
"I guess I was sort of wishing for some of my friends to be married to certain people, to know my friends forever, to live in Retroville until I go to college, things that I can't have now, but can only hope for." Jenny sort of laughed again and pushed some more tears off.
Cindy grabbed a nearby tissue box and gave it to Jenny, who said thanks and sneezed a few times.
Jimmy and Cindy gave each other a confused look.
Jimmy then asked, "What friends of your did you want to get married?" He asked curiously.
Jenny shrugged, "Oh … you know .." She cleared her throat again and sort of smiled a little bit, and then looked down.
Cindy shook her head, "Umm … not really, no we don't know …"
Jenny smiled, still looking down, "Oh, you guys wouldn't want to know, you would think I was crazy or something, but it feels true to me as a sixth sense, like I know those people are going to be together and have a happily ever after."
Jimmy and Cindy shook their heads no, and Jimmy sort of lightly punched Jenny's shoulder, "Oh come on Jenny, we wouldn't think you where crazy! I mean it could be scientifically possible that you have a sense that some people might be together forever, I mean it could be a long shot against some peoples own personal will power, but anything is possible really."
Jenny smiled a little more, "Well, ok, you promise you won't hit me or laugh or call me crazy or anything like that?"
Cindy rolled her eyes, "We're your friends, why would we make fun of something like that?"
Jenny nodded, "Ok … I kind of had a feeling …" She paused for a moment, realizing she had their total and complete attention, "I sort of had a feeling that you guys, Jimmy and Cindy would end up together."
There was total silence, Jimmy and Cindy didn't really know what to say, and at that moment they refused to have eye contact with on another.
"Wow …" Was all Jimmy could say in a sort of breathless and speechless way.
"Double wow …" Cindy breathed softly, avoiding all eye contact what-so-ever.
"Triple wow …" Jenny said slightly.
The two looked at her, and she shrugged, "I had to keep the wows going didn't I?"
Cindy looked down at her feet and said in a soft voice, "So, your saying I'll most likely be the future Mrs. Neutron?"
Jenny simple said a, "Uh huh."
Jimmy sat there, a little confused, he hadn't really expected her to tell him his future or fortune, and he felt a little nervous and odd about the whole marriage thing, then Jimmy asked, "Do you … see anything else in our future? Like … are we going to have any kids?"
Jimmy felt a little uncomfortable about asking that, and Cindy felt uncomfortable for him even thinking that.
Jenny smiled, "Yep, three kids, an older girl, a boy, and a younger girl."
Cindy looked at Jimmy for a moment with a little smile, then she asked, "What do you see for your future Jenny?"
Jenny shrugged, "I don't think I can predict my own future, but I do occasionally see myself there, with you and Jimmy, I'm not sure if I'm married, really I've only seen my friends' futures."
Jimmy and Cindy weren't quite sure if they really should have believed this or not, but they kind of really wanted to believe it.
Jimmy then asked, "Do me and Cindy seem like a happy couple?"
Cindy stared at Jimmy for a moment, once again she couldn't stop staring at him.
Jenny closed her eyes for a few seconds and a huge smile spread over her face and she opened her eyes, "I don't think I'll ever see a more perfect couple than you two, and I think your kids agree with that. You two really love each other."
There was a brief silence and then Jenny said, with a big yawn, "You guys, if you don't mind I'd like to catch a little nap, I really feel like I need it."
Jimmy and Cindy nodded and the quietly left the room. Goddard stayed in the room to keep an eye on her and Jimmy and Cindy stepped out into the hallway and closed the door quietly.
Jimmy looked at Cindy, neither of them said anything, they sort of uncomfortably stood there and looked down at their feet.
Cindy cleared her throat a little and said, "I guess we know now we are really meant to make sure Jenny stays here in Retroville."
Jimmy nodded and then said, "Do you think Jenny's prediction was for real?"
Cindy paused, thinking for a moment, "I … I'm not sure, I mean, her knowing how many kids we're going … I mean, might have, and knowing how many girls and boys and who is oldest and youngest … I mean it's a pretty creative thing to come up with …"
Jimmy nodded, "Especially the part where she says we're a perfect couple … and that we really do love each other …"
There was a bit of silence and Jimmy and Cindy stared into each other's eyes again, not sure what to do.
Jimmy and Cindy sighed, and stood up and walked to the kitchen again.
"Right here Carl," Said Jimmy as they entered to kitchen.
"Where were you two?" Ask Libby, who was obviously interested.
