Chapter 17: A Brief Moment
Jenny slowly, yet surely, directed to rocket home to Retroville. The government papers had been filled out and all they had to do was wait and see if it would work.
Jenny was listening to her CD player, and she looked back at the other seat with Jimmy and Cindy. They where both pretty much fast asleep, and Jimmy was hold Cindy so her arm wouldn't hurt as badly. Jenny had found a scarf in one of bags of luggage to make a sling for Cindy's arm.
Jenny smiled, her cousin and Cindy looked so cute together, but she was afraid that they would forget how much they cared about each other when they where around their peers. She smiled thoughtfully, she had an idea, but she wouldn't be able to do anything about it till much later.
Cindy suddenly yawned, "Jenny?"
Jenny turned around, "Hey Cindy, be sure to be a little quiet, Jimmy's still sleeping."
Cindy nodded and smiled down at Jimmy who was resting up against her.
"How much farther until we get to Retroville?" Cindy asked.
Jenny shrugged, "I guess we're a few miles off the city lines, but we're going pretty slow so you guys don't get any head aches or anything."
Cindy nodded, and then Jimmy suddenly yawned.
He sat up and stretched for a moment, then put his arm around Cindy's shoulder.
"How's the arm?" Jimmy asked.
Cindy smiled, "It's doing better, I don't think it's broken, it might have just been sprained a little."
Jimmy nodded, "That's good." Then he hesitated for a moment, Cindy knew he had something to say but she didn't know what, of course Jenny knowing her cousin well enough, she knew what was coming.
Jimmy cleared his throat, "Cindy … I, umm …"
Cindy made sure she was looking alert so he knew she was listening, "Yes Jimmy?"
Jimmy looked into her eyes and then gave a deep breath, "Will … you … go with … me to the .. uhhh .."
Cindy looked at him thoughtfully, "To the dance?"
Jimmy nodded sheepishly.
Cindy grinned, "Who else would I go with?"
Jimmy smiled and they hugged.
But then Jimmy backed off a moment, "Wait a minute … Jenny, what are you going to do …"
But Jenny held her hand up to stop him, while still driving in the rocket may I remind you, and said, "Don't worry about me you guys, I have plans for the dance."
And then Jenny grinned as Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other with confusion, considering Jenny always thought it was fun to make people confused. Especially the readers of this story!
