Hey, thanks to everyone who replied! I'd love to name you all individually, but I think that you know who I'm thanking, so there's no need to say the people! Here's the next chapter!
"What is it?" Jimmy asked.
"Its something that will benefit you," Cory said and came over to Jimmy, "and maybe Sheen and Libby, too."
"Just tell me already!" Jimmy said.
"He got tickets to the dance at City Hall!" Sheen screamed excitedly.
"And how does that come to our benefit..?" Jimmy asked confused.
"Well, the thing is, you can't go unless you are with someone." Cory said.
"Ok…" Jimmy said.
"And thus concluding that this is the time to ask that "special someone you care about oh so much." Cory said and smirked.
"I do not!" Jimmy screamed trying to cover up his secret from Carl and Sheen.
"Don't try that, Jimmy. I already told them." Cory said simply.
"You WHAT?! WHY?!" Jimmy yelled angrily.
"Settle down, they would have found out anyways." Cory said.
"Yea," Jimmy started, "I guess you're right…"
"Yea, Jimmy. Now YOU have to ask her to come!" Sheen said in a fit of laughter.
"I know that, but who are you going to ask, Sheen?" Jimmy asked smirking.
"What are you talking about? I'm not going to ask Libby, I mean anyone! I'm not going to ask anyone! I didn't…say…anything!" Sheen yelled and blushed.
"Ok, sure Sheen." Jimmy said.
"Who are you going with, Carl." Cory asked.
"Well, I don't like anyone in particular, but I'll try and find someone before then." Carl said casually.
"What about you, Cory?" Jimmy asked.
"Hmm, I never thought about that. Well, I guess I'll have to be like Carl and find someone to go with."
"Cool. So, when is it?" Jimmy asked.
"It's next Friday."
"Ok. So that gives us a while to find someone to go with." Jimmy said.
"Yup." Cory said.
~Just then the clock strikes 8:00 (AM)~
"Oh, I gotta go! Ultralord is on in a half hour. See ya!" Sheen said and ran out the door.
"Yea, I gotta go, too, Jimmy. The Wonderful World of Llamas is coming on, too. See ya." Carl said and walked out the door.
"Well, what do you want to do?" Jimmy asked Cory.
"I dunno. You wanna go swimming?" Cory asked Jimmy.
"Uhh…where?" Jimmy asked.
"Retroville community pool. Duh…" Cory said.
"Oh. Ok!" Jimmy said. "Meet me outside in 10 minutes. I've gotta get changed."
"Ok, see ya in 10." Cory said and walked out the door.
Jimmy and Cory got changed and met outside. They walked to the pool and found some seats to set their stuff on. They walked and went over to the diving boards.
"Cannonball!" Cory called and jumped.
"Look out below!" Jimmy called and jumped.
They came up from under the water and Cory just didn't pay any attention to Jimmy. He seemed to be looking elsewhere.
"What do…what are you looking at?" Jimmy asked confused.
"Cute girl…" Cory said.
"Who is it?" Jimmy asked.
"I dunno, she's over there." Cory said, pointing to a girl on the deck.
She turned around.
"Who is she?" Cory asked.
"Oh, that's Brittany. She goes to my school." Jimmy said uninterested.
"Oh, I'm going to go have a little chit chat with her." Cory said, smirking.
He got out of the water, leaving Jimmy alone. He watched as Cory went over to Brittany, interrupting her talk with another girl. She didn't seem to mind all too much. She got out of her seat and they went and sat at a table. The girl that was suddenly idle when Brittany left, picked up a magazine and lifted it up and started reading it. Jimmy found her to be quite attractive. She had on a pink bikini and she was scanning through the magazine pages. Jimmy decided to go talk to her. He climbed up the ladder at the edge of the pool and slowly walked over to her. When he approached, she suddenly snapped down the magazine.
"Cindy?"
"Hey Jimmy." Cindy said. "What's going on?"
"Nothing much I was just uhh, coming to talk to you because I saw that you were abandoned." Jimmy said.
"Heh, no big deal she needs a crush anyways." Cindy said smiling.
"Yup. So…I guess I better be going." Jimmy said shyly.
"I'm in no rush. Sit down if you're not going anywhere." Cindy said.
"Ok." Jimmy replied sitting down.
"So," Cindy said putting the magazine away, "what have you been up to lately. Not blowing up any more science labs like last month in school again, hmm?"
"Haha, very funny, Vortex." Jimmy said smirking. "No, I haven't been."
"Well, that's a miracle. Me and Libby were just talking about the dance that's coming up. Did you hear about it?" Cindy asked.
"Uhh, yea." Jimmy said.
"Yea. But I'm not sure if I'm going cause I don't have anyone to go with and you can't go unless someone is with you. Bummer." Cindy said, disappointed.
"Yea, I'm not sure either. Same problem." Jimmy replied.
"Unless," they both said at the same time.
"What is it?" Jimmy asked.
"Oh no, you can go first." Cindy said, knowing what was coming.
"Well, I was kinda, well, I was sorta wondering if you wanted to umm, well, you know…" Jimmy said hesitantly.
"What? What is it?" Cindy said knowing what was coming but trying to be oblivious to it.
"Do you want to go to the dance with me? I mean, so we can both go and at least be able to get in?" Jimmy asked hopefully.
"Are you kidding? No way!" Cindy said and put on a sour face.
"Oh…" Jimmy said dissippoitnedly, "ok…"
"Hello? I'm just kidding! Of course I'll go with you. Why should I say no, after all," she said and then said in a whisper, "we might just have a great time."
Just then, Cory and Brittany come back from talking.
"We've gotta go, you guys. We're going to Libby's house. We'll see ya later." Cindy said and got up.
Jimmy and Cory just watched them walk away until they were out of sight.
"Well, I've got my date to the dance." Cory said happily.
"Me too, amazingly. Me too." Jimmy said approvingly.
"You asked her?! No way! I knew you'd do it." Cory said and smiled.
"Yup. I was nervous, but I did it."
~The Friday afternoon before the dance~
BBBBBBBRRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGGG! The phone at Jimmy's house rang.
"Hello?" Jimmy answered.
"Hey Jimmy, its Sheen. I was just wondering something."
"Yea?" Jimmy asked.
"Do you think Libby will like my green or my black Ultralord shirt?"
"Uhh, the black," Jimmy started and rolled his eyes, "because It'll bring a change of your usual color…"
"Ok, Jimmy. Thanks." Sheen said and hung up.
Just after Jimmy hung up the phone the doorbell rang. Jimmy ran to the door and opened it.
"Hey Jimmy."
"Hi Cory. Come on in."
"Actually, I just needed some advice. What kind of things does Brittany like or like to do?" Cory asked.
"Well, she likes to talk a lot. As long as you have something to talk about, you should be ok." Jimmy said.
"Ok, thanks Jimmy. I'll come with Carl and Sheen around 8:00."
"Ok, see ya then." Jimmy said and closed the door.
Just then Jimmy's dad walked in the living room.
"Hey, Jimbo. Who was that at the door?" Hugh asked.
"Oh, it was just my friend from next door."
"Well, that's very nice Jimmy. You know, I didn't have as many friends as you back in the day. But, then again, we didn't have all of these wacky new gadgets anyways…" Hugh picked up a channel switcher and the added, "I still can't get the darned thing to turn on!" he said pointing the switcher to the toaster oven in the kitchen. Jimmy walked away and rolled his eyes while listening to his dad's complaints about newfound technology fade away as he walked upstairs. On the way up, his mom was coming down carrying a basket of dirty clothes, socks, ect.
"Hey, mom?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes, what is it Jimmy?" Judy said, struggling with the clothes.
"Can I got to a dance tonight with my friends at eight?"
"Sure, just as long as you're back by your cerfew."
"Thanks, mom."
Jimmy walked to his room, where he found Goddard playing with a toy.
"Hey boy." Jimmy said and smiled as Goddard barked a happy reply.
Jimmy went over to his stand next to his bed and picked up his phone. He dialed Cindy's number.
"Hello?" Cindy answered.
"Uh, hey Cindy." Jimmy said nervously.
"Hey Jimmy. What's on your mind?" Cindy asked.
"I just called to tell you that me and Cory and the guys will be there around eight for the dance." Jimmy said.
"Oh, ok. I'll be waiting. See ya later, Jimmy." Cindy said sweetly.
"Bye." Jimmy said and hung up.
~At eight~
Ding dong! Jimmy's doorbell rang and he opened the door. He saw Cory with a cool looking outfit on. Baggy pants, Hawaiian -like shirt. He had Brittany next to him. She was wearing a short pink dress and had her hair up in a high pony tail and a pink bow. Carl was wearing his usual clothes, you know, orange shirt and green pants. He had a girl next to him with a green shirt and a pair of flare blue jeans. Her hair was in two long braids. Sheen had on a black Ultralord shirt and his usual pants. Libby was standing next to him and was wearing a long green dress and had her hair in one French braid.
"Ready to go?" Cory asked.
"Yea, or at least ready as I'll ever be." Jimmy said and stepped out the door.
Jimmy was wearing almost the same thing that he usually wears only his pants were baggier and instead of wearing a red shirt with his "sign" he wore just a plain red shirt. They walked across the street to Cindy's house. Jimmy went up and rang the doorbell while everyone stood on the sidewalk in front of the house. The door opened slowly and out came Cindy. Jimmy's jaw almost dropped, as well as everyone else's, when they saw Cindy. She was wearing a long pink sequin dress. It was the style of a halter top at the top. She also had her hair down and was wearing crystal clear shoes like the one's from Cinderella.
"Wow…" Jimmy managed to say under his total amazement.
"What? Is it something I did?" Cindy asked.
"No, you just, look really nice." Jimmy said and smiled.
"Well, I'm glad you like it." Cindy replied and also smiled.
They walked off the porch and onto the sidewalk and started their way to the dance together with the others. They all talked about various things and finally reached the dance. Cory gave each of them a ticket and they walked inside. The place was decorated with streamers and balloons. It also had white little lights and heart decorations everywhere. They all parted to do various things with their own dates.
"Wow, everything looks so beautiful…" Cindy said in awe.
"You've got that right." Jimmy said starring at her.
"Do you want to dance?" Cindy asked hopefully.
"Uh…sure." Jimmy said nervously.
They got out on the dance floor and they started dancing. Cindy was totally calm and Jimmy seemed very nervous about this. He didn't know is she felt comfortable with him touching her waist, so he had a very loose grip.
"What's wrong, Jimmy?" She asked.
"What do you mean?" Jimmy asked.
"It doesn't even feel like you're dancing with me. Your hands are barely touching me."
"Oh, I guess I didn't really notice that." Jimmy said relieved that she obviously didn't mind the touching.
They danced for a few songs and then they decided to go get some "refreshments" or whatever you want to call them.
"So," Cindy said in between sips of punch, "why did you ask me to the dance?"
"I dunno," Jimmy replied, "I didn't really have anyone to go with and I decided to ask you."
"That's good, because I didn't have anyone to go with either. I really wanted to come. Thanks for asking."
"You're welcome." Jimmy said and smiled.
~Over with Cory~
"So, what kind of things do you like, Brittany?"
"You know, girl stuff, boy bands, nail polish, swimming, anything really!" Brittany said rambling on really fast.
"That's cool."
"Yea, that is cool you're cool too I think you're cool!" She said and he could hardly understand her.
~Over with Sheen~
"So, nice night." Sheen said trying to sound oh so suave.
"Yea, it's a great dance." Libby said, smiling.
"Would you care to dance with me?" Sheen asked.
"You kidding? I wouldn't mind at all!" Libby said putting her hand out and Sheen dragged her out onto the floor.
~Over with Carl~
"Hey,
Lucy. I can't thank you enough for coming with me. I thought about
asking someone to go with me, but I'd figured that they would turn me down.
Then I had the greatest idea to bring my favorite cousin Lucy!"
"That's ok," Lucy said, "I know how you
feel about being turned down."
~Back to Jimmy and Cindy~
"So, what do you want to do?" Cindy asked.
"Well, do you want to dance some more?" Jimmy asked.
"Actually, just from those few dances theses shoes I'm wearing are making my feet hurt." Cindy said sadly.
"That's ok, I don't mind." Jimmy said.
"Come with me." Cindy said walking towards the back of the room and out a door. They stepped out to a round sidewalk kind of area with a water fountain in the middle.
"I like it out here. Its less crowded." Cindy said with a smile.
"Me too." Jimmy said and smiled back.
They walked over to the fountain and just stared into it at all the assortments of change lying at the bottom of it.
"Look at all of the pennies and stuff. Those are from all of the people hoping for some kind of luck." Jimmy said smiling into the glittering fountain.
Jimmy reached in his pocket and pulled out a penny. He handed it to Cindy and said, "Make a wish." She took the penny, closed her eyes, wished, and then threw it into the fountain.
"Maybe one day your dream will come true."
"It already has…" She said smiling.
"But, you just threw it in…How could it have already happened when you didn't even do anything?" Jimmy asked confused.
She stepped towards his very closely and looked at him as he looked back at her nervously, not knowing what to say.
"I can hear the music," she started, "so let's dance out here."
"O..ok." Jimmy said stuttering.
They danced for a while and smiled at each other, never wanting this moment to end. At the end of the song, Cindy stepped close towards Jimmy and kissed him. They stayed like that for a long time. Then, Jimmy broke it and they merely smiled at each other. They both turned to walk back inside to the dance and found all six of the others standing there, smirking.
"Uhh, how long have you guys been standing there?" Jimmy asked uncertain and embarrassed.
"Too, long." Cory said. "Way too long."
"Uhh, then I guess that means you were out here long enough to see what we were just doing?" Jimmy said.
"Yup." Cory replied.
Cindy and Jimmy both looked down at the ground to embarrassed to say anything to the six kids staring at them with wide smiles.
"Well," Sheen started, "this has been fun and all but I want to go home. My feet hurt and so do Ultralord's." He pulled and Ultralord action figure out of his pocket and pressed a button. It said "ouch."
"Yea, I guess I'll go too." Libby said.
"I'll walk you home." Sheen said.
"Bye." They both said to the others in unison and walked away.
"Yea, me and my cousin Lucy better head on home too. My mom is going to get mad if I'm not back soon. See you all later." Carl said and him and Lucy walked away, also.
"Well, I'm going to go too. I'll walk you home, Cindy." Jimmy said and started walking out.
Cory shrugged his shoulders to Brittany and they both ran after Jimmy and Cindy. They caught up to them and started talking on the way home.
"So does this mean you two are like, officially an item?" Brittany asked.
"I dunno, depends on if Cindy wants to be." Jimmy said.
"No, it depends on if you want to, Jimmy." Cindy said.
"I don't mind." Jimmy said.
"Well, I don't either." Cindy said.
"So I guess that means yes?" Cory said.
"Yea!" They both said in unison.
