Ok I know I said this was gonna be the last chapter but I typed it out and it was too long so I've made it into 2 chapters. Chapter 9 will definitely be the last, that's about it just R/R.

Chapter 8: The Party

When Nick's car pulled up beside the school hall it didn't look any different from how it normally did before dances except for the fact that there wasn't much noise coming from inside and it looked like they were the last ones there but it wasn't like they were late or anything. The couple got out of the car and walked towards the double doors. Cindy noticed that Nick hadn't commented on her clothes, she new that Jimmy cared about her so much he would compliment her every day even if she was a wreck. Nick opened and said

"Close your eyes," she replied with

"Why, what's going on Nick,"

"Just do it, we have a surprise for you," Nick said. This wasn't like Nick why did he want her to close her eyes. But she did, but then said

"Who's we, what do you mean a surprise."

"You'll see," he led her into the hall, everyone was silent. Then Nick said.

"Ok you can open you eyes now," so she did and right in front of her was the whole of 10th grade and above them was a massive banner that read

GOODBYE CINDY YOU'RE THE GREATEST

She was shocked. Then everyone cheered

"Hip hip hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!" over and over again. Cindy couldn't believe it, she hadn't expected a thing. The D.J. played happy birthday for her and everyone sang along, everyone from the whole of 10th grade was there, even people who she hardly even knew or liked.

Once the whole beginning of the party was over everyone settled down, those who hadn't given her presents that morning came to give her them soon after the D.J. stopped playing songs in Cindy's honour and played normal songs, she was having great fun. She danced with Nick on the slow songs and once she and Libby swapped partners so Cindy was dancing with Sheen who kept treading on her toes so eventually she gave up and went to get him a drink.

At about 9:30 Cindy knew she didn't have much time before the dance would end so she had to do what she had been putting off all night. She walked over to Nick who was drinking soda and sat down next to him.

"Nick I need to talk to you," she said nervously. Nick didn't look very concerned but he turned to face her.

"I've been thinking about the move a lot and how I'm not going to see you much, if at all anymore," she said, and the only thing that kept her talking was the thought of her and Jimmy being an item by later that night.

"Because I'm going to live so far away I, don't think we should see each other anymore," she finished off quickly and breathed a sigh of relief. This last phrase brought Nick to his senses and he said.

"So you're dumping me," he was confused "why, we're such a great couple," he obviously hadn't listened very well to what Cindy had said.

"I just told you I'm hardly going to see you so there's really no point in us being a couple," Cindy said, she was annoyed, Nick never properly listened to her, it was like she didn't matter. Nick was annoyed too but for a different reason.

"Thanks a lot Cindy, I'm supposed to be your boyfriend, it's not like I've done anything wrong," he stormed off towards his friends. Cindy was quite pleased with his reaction, at least he hadn't begged to go out with her again, or thrown things across the room.

She walked over to where Libby was sitting talking to Sheen but when she came over they stopped and looked up."

"How did it go," Libby asked.

"Fine, I'm now a single 14 year old, but hopefully not for long," she said happily.

"Great, I hope the meeting goes well later tonight," said Libby who seemed more exited that Cindy, or maybe she'd just drank too much soda, it was hard to tell. She had no more time to think about it as she was distracted by the sound of footsteps coming up behind them. She hoped it wasn't Nick coming to argue with her but it turned out to be Jimmy, obviously in search of his friends. Cindy's heart jumped in her chest as it had many a time since she had realised she loved him, she knew to act normal she would have to start an argument with him but she couldn't bring herself to insult the one she loved, so instead she turned round to face Libby and started talking about how she had dumped Nick.

Jimmy was actually, as Cindy had predicted looking for his friends, but when he heard the name Nick mentioned by the voice he knew so well, he spun around and started to listen. When he heard that Cindy had dumped Nick he felt overjoyed at least now Nick didn't stand in the way of him and Cindy, he just hoped that she hadn't dumped Nick for some other guy. But he didn't get a chance to think about it anymore because the D.J. had just announced the last song, which was yet again dedicated to Cindy, he realised how little time he had before he was to meet Cindy and confess his true feelings towards her. Every second of time that passed made Cindy and Jimmy more and more nervous, and by the time the last note of the song had resounded around the room for what seemed like an eternity Cindy felt like she was going to be sick, but she tried to concentrate all her thoughts on how great it would be when her and Jimmy finally got together, she had been thinking a lot recently about how blind she must be not to have noticed that she loved Jimmy Neutron, but that didn't matter now because they were going to be an item.

Thinking about dating Jimmy brought her back to earth and she remembered that she had a speech to make. She walked quickly towards the raised platform where the D.J. was stood. She had a quick word with him and he stepped up to the microphone to make his last announcement of the night.

"Miss Vortex would like to make a short speech, then he steeped down to make way for Cindy. She cleared her throat and began.

"Hi everyone, first of all I'd like to thank everyone here for organising all this for me, I really didn't expect anything. I also have some news, I know this is supposed to be my leaving party, but this afternoon when I came in from school, I found that I know longer have to move." Everyone looked up at this last statement and cheered. When the noise had died down Cindy finished her speech with "I'm glad you're all so happy that I'm staying, I know that I'm glad to be staying here in the town of Retroville which I love so much," she then said one last thank you and stepped down from the raised platform.

After Cindy had finished her short speech everyone headed home except Libby who tried to talk to Cindy. But she didn't get a word in because Cindy was in a hurry all she managed to say was.

"Sorry Lib gotta go, talk to you tomorrow, see ya bye!" before dashing out of the double doors towards the park.

Chapter 8 is done, sorry again I know I said this would be the last chapter, chapter 9 should be out soon I can't say when.
