A/N: "Skater Boy" is owned by Avril Lavigne and "Absolutely" by Nine Days … to get the full experience of this chapter listen to these songs while your reading the lyrics.
Jimmy and Cindy entered the school gym, the whole room was decorated and it was a beautiful night.
Jimmy was wearing some rather cool looking clothing, dark blue baggy jeans, and a green "bunny hug" (those in Canada should know what I mean by that!) which is in other words a sweater with a hood, and in this case was one of those kind where you could tuck your hands into this one front large pocket.
Cindy was dressed with a no sleeve pink shirt that buttoned in front and a black skirt that went down an inch or so below her knees.
They walked over to the refreshments table and saw Libby and Sheen.
"Hey Cindy, what's up girl?" Asked Libby.
Cindy shrugged, "Oh nothing much, my arm is feeling much better though. How are you?"
Libby replied, "I'm doing great, my stocks on NASDAQ went totally up this morning, and I sold and bought a few shares."
Cindy laughed, "Libby! Is there anything that's electronic that you don't do?"
Libby thought for a moment, "Umm .. I kind of doubt it."
Cindy nodded.
Meanwhile Jimmy started a conversation with Sheen.
"So Sheen, how've you been?" Asked Jimmy who sipped a bit of punch.
"Aw, just great Jimmy! I'm so excited, my mom just bought online the new limited edition Ultra Lord thimble which glows in the dark and was made in Hong Kong!" Said Sheen, "I'll be getting it in three weeks, I can't wait!"
Jimmy stared at Sheen for a moment, "A … thimble?"
Sheen nodded with excitement, ok, maybe Sheen wasn't exactly the best person to strike up a good conversation with.
"Say Sheen, do you know where Jenny is?" Jimmy asked, hoping this wouldn't lead to an Ultra Lord conversation.
"I saw her a few minutes ago and asked what she was doing, but she said she couldn't tell me, and then she walked away, but I don't know where she went." Sheen replied.
Jimmy nodded, "I'm going to go find her, ok?"
Sheen nodded ok, then saw Carl and ran up to him and told him about his new Ultra Lord thimble. As Jimmy shook his head sadly.
Cindy walked up to Jimmy, "Where's Jenny?"
Jimmy shrugged, "I'm about to go look for her, Sheen said he saw her a few minutes ago, but now he doesn't know where she it."
Cindy frowned, "Where could she be?"
Jimmy shrugged, "I'd say the girls bathroom, but you can go in there, not me."
Cindy rolled her eyes, "Fine, I'll go check."
But suddenly Cindy didn't check, as the DJ suddenly stopped the music and came up to the microphone.
"Hey, look," Cindy said to Jimmy, who turned to the DJ, "Looks like he's going to say something."
"Hey kids, I've got a special surprise for you, ok, you sort of know what it is, it's a mystery singer, yep, but you don't know who it is, now do you?" The DJ said.
Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other, then back to the stage and fallowed the rest of the crowd up near the stage.
"Well, I have the singer right her, and it's a new student of yours who's apparently the cousin of a boy genius, and her name is Miss Jenny Neutron!" The DJ said.
Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other, totally shocked, then ran up close to the stage.
"JENNY?" They yelled in surprise at the same time.
Jenny smiled at her cousin and best friend, "Oh, hi Jimmy and Cindy, told you I had plans for the dance."
Jenny had a guitar around her, and there was a band behind her, then she said, "Actually, this song is for you two, but I hope you guys don't make this wrong decision."
Jenny cleared her throat and then began to sing.
"He was a boy, she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious?
He was a punk,she did ballet
What more can I say?
He wanted her, she'd never tell
secretly she wanted him as well.
But all of her friends stuck up there nose
they had a problem with his baggy clothes.
He was a skater boy, she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enought for her
She had a pritty face, but her head was up in space
she needed to come back down to earth.
five years from now, she sits at home
feeding the baby
she's all alone
she turns on tv
guess who she sees
skater boy rockin' up MTV.
she calles up her friends,they already know
and they've all got tickets to see his show
she tags along and stands in the crowd
looks up at the man that she turned down.
He was a skater boy,she said see ya later boy
he wasn't good enought for her
now he's a super star
slamin' on his guitar
does your pritty face see what he's worth?
sorry girl but you missed out
well tuff luck that boys mine now
we are more than just good friends
this is how the story ends
too bad that you couldn't see
see that man that boy could be
there is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy, and i'm just a girl
can I make it anymore obvious?
we are in love, haven't you heard
how we rock eachothers world
I'm with the skater boy, I said see ya later boy
i'll be back stage after the show
i'll be at a studio
singing the song we wrote
about a girl you used to know."
Suddenly there was a huge applause and Jenny sort of bowed and gave a huge smile, Jenny and Cindy smiled at each other, then hugged, and Jimmy kissed her on the cheek.
Jenny looked down at them, "I guess there can't be anymore surprises bigger than this, huh?"
Jimmy shook his head, "Not exactly."
The DJ came over to the microphone, "A Jimmy Neutron has a couple songs to sing."
Jenny looked down at Jimmy in shock, "Well I wasn't expecting this .."
Cindy shook her head, "Neither was I …"
Jimmy then said, "Come on Cindy, and you stay up there Jenny!"
They went around to the top of the stage, Jimmy grabbed a guitar and put it around, "You know what song." Jimmy said to the band.
Jimmy said, "I dedicate this to both, my cousin Jenny, and Cindy. And I know you two will absolutely love this song."
Jenny and Cindy looked at each other, then they looked at Jimmy and they both smiled.
"This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
How many days in the year she woke up with hope
But she only found tears
Actin' so insincere
Making the promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in soles of her shoes
How many days disapear
You look in the mirror so how do you choose
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
How many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this stuff day after day
How do we wind up this way
Watchin' the mouths for the words I would say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes of the soles I would chose
How do we get there today
If we're walkin' to far from the price of the shoes
Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles
And your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls out quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who's pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looked so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her when she smiles"
And once again there was a huge roar and much applause, Cindy smiled and she hugged Jimmy, then Jenny hugged Jimmy.
Cindy then smiled, could anything get any better?
Well … it does … but that's in the next chapter.
