*******************************************
It was a calm and peaceful Friday at Retroville High School, The halls were silent, there were no lockers slamming shut, or people running down the halls, hoping not to be caught slipping in late for their next class . Inside room 203 was History Class 101...
Mrs..Stitch was carelessly facing her blackboard mindlessly droning on about Greek Mythology, while more than half of her class were slowly but surely dozing off to sleep, the other few were day dreaming and only two were hurrying to scramble down notes...Jimmy Neutron and Cindy Vortex..
Sheen: "Hey.. Pssssst!! Carl! Are me you and Jimmy still up for the concert tonight?", he whispered to Carl who was at the adjacent desk.
Carl: "Um...I don't know, I mean I'll go, it's just...."
Sheen/Carl: "Cindy"
They both replied in an annoyed and somewhat disgusted voice as they glanced over at Jimmy's desk, he was sitting in the front row with Cindy to his left, he had his left hand extended into the isle holding Cindy's right hand, they both attentively glued their eyes to the teacher and listened carefully to the lesson, but every once in a while you would hear a small, high-pitched, giggle come from Cindy, who everyone knew was laughing at something Jimmy said, for she did this often.
Sheen: "He always hangs around with her! Why can't he just ever hang with his buds for a bit, huh?" Carl: "I dnno", Carl replied cluelessly, "But it's been like that since they started going out"
Sheen: "Ya! Three years ago!"
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen, Carl!" "One more whisper out of you two and you'll both be in detention this afternoon!"
Sheen, inferiorily looked the other way, blowing off the teachers threat, while Carl sat frozen to his seat unwaveringly paying attention to the teacher as she went back to her lesson.
Sheen looked around making sure no one was looking at him and again whispered for his friend.
Sheen: "Carl! Psssssst! Hey Carl!", Sheen put on an impatient face when Carl didn't reply, "Carl, Carl!" he tried again
Carl: "Sheen! Shhhhh!" "Pay attention!, you gonna get us in trouble!" he whispered frantically
Sheen: "Carl! Lay off!, we gotta ask Jimmy if he's still comin'! ...He better be, I paid 16 weeks allowance for those tickets!" "And that's only for the 20th row!" Imagine how much Ultra Lord merchandise I couldn't purchased with the money I paid for HIS ticket!" , he said blowing off his friends warning
Carl: "Sheen!" "Cut it out!, pay attention to the lesson!" Do you WANT a detention?", he said again trying to get his friend to be quiet.
Sheen: "Carl, I already have 6 detentions!" "Plus, if this lesson were anymore boring, I would think I was at home on Thanksgiving, listening to my Grandma talk about her 'exciting life on the radish farm'" he said this with a funny tone to his voice. "Ask him Carl!" "You're closest!"
Carl: Bu-mmmmmmmm...he sighed surrenderingly to Sheen as he reached to tap Jimmy's shoulder. "Jimmy!.hey Jimmy!" he whispered softly
Jimmy: "Wha-.oh, What is it Carl?", he asked, Cindy returned this interuptance with an annoyed glare to Carl, who when saw her do this slunk in his seat a little, Jimmy turned his head forward a little to see what his friend was retreating from, when Cindy saw this she put on a big smile that said " I didn't do it" all over it. Carl: "Um..Sheen was wondering if you, me, and him are still up for the concert tonight?"
Jimmy looked back at Sheen who was impatiently awaiting an answer; Jimmy in his mind cringed for he had totally forgotten about the concert.
Jimmy: "Aw..gee guys.I um kinda..forgot..."
Sheen hearing this jumped up in his seat startled, and yelled
Sheen: "FORGOT?!?"
Sheen looked around for everyone had their eyes on him, Libby slapped herself on the head, for he frequently did embarrassing things such as this, and she always got blamed for "not training him well enough" by the other girls in school who supposedly had all their boyfriends acting like complete gentlemen, but as she looked upon her class she could clearly see that none of the guys were gentlemen...far from it actually.....
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen! Simmer down!"
Sheen: " Sorry...Mrs..Bitch.." he said under his breath, it was obvious that Sheen and Mrs.Stitch did not get along, Sheen was the class clown and she was a no non-sense kind of gal.
Mrs.Stitch: "What was that!?" she asked knowing what he said
Sheen: "I said sorry, Mrs.Stitch" he said in a mocking tone
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen, I'll see you after class"
Sheen: "Whatever" he said not caring
Sheen then returned his attention back to the matter with Jimmy
Sheen: "Forgot?!, Forgot?!" "How could you forget?!" " We've been planning this for months!" he said a little quieter
Jimmy: I don't know....something more important came up that's all....
BBBBBBRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG
The bell rang,. They all walked to their lockers to retrieve money, bag lunches, purses and other things they needed for everyone's favorite time of the day, Lunch.
Jimmy, holding hands with Cindy walked into the cafeteria and got in line. Carl came bobbling in with a grocery-store bag chock-full of his favorite snacks
Jimmy (in line looking at the lunch behind the glass): "Are they sure this content in edible?" Jimmy questioned as he looked grossed out at the brownish-blue, globs of slop, slapped onto his lunch tray by the not so feminine looking lunch ladies.
Cindy: "I don't know", she said looking disgusted at Jimmy's so-called lunch,"But, that's why I always bring my lunch" she said.
As Jimmy paid for his, she waited, after he did, she grabbed his hand and they walked over to a table. She unpacked her very neat lunch, pulled out a bottle of Evian and a juicy, steaming, luscious, mouth watering steak and cheese sub. Jimmy looked dimly at his gooey, glop and then back at Cindy's meal. He almost felt like drooling it smelt so good, Cindy was just about to take a gigantic bite of her meal when she noticed Jimmy looking poorly at his lunch, she started to giggle
Cindy: Hee.heeheehhee....
Jimmy looked up instantly from his cold, sad meal
Jimmy: "What's so funny?" he asked curiously
Cindy: "It's just..heehee...heee..your SO pathetic!...heeheehee" she said looking at him, still holding the sub in two hands, in front of her face, Jimmy looked at her questionably, Cindy glanced back at him then started to break her sub in half
Cindy: "Here" she said holding out one half of the sub " I couldn't even make you suffer through that lunch" she said still giggling, Jimmy smiled relentlessly and took the sub and started to eat.
Sheen came up to the table just as Libby sat down along with Carl.
Jimmy: "So Sheen, what did Mrs.Stitch want?"
Sheen dug in his pocket for a moment then pulled out yet another detention slip from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Sheen: "7th one today!" he boasted proudly
Cindy: "Sheen, could you be anymore of a loser?" she asked, smirking
Sheen: "Ha-ha, well at least I'm not like you, you fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!"{I know that's 400 hundred years old, but sue me} he started to laugh, but this statement was returned by a very evil glare from Jimmy, and he suddenly stopped. Cindy ignoring the comment simply continued insulting.
Cindy: " Well you know what Sheen?"
Sheen (taunting): "What Cindy?"
Cindy: "If you were any more stupid, you be a rock. Oops, actually it's the other way around, If the rock were any stupider it'd be you!!! Ahahahahahahah!!!" , this comment was followed by hysterical laughter from Cindy and Libby, who even know was Sheen's girlfriend couldn't hold the laughter in.
Sheen gave Cindy a look. Jimmy decided to change the conversation but before he could, Carl meekly started talking.
Carl: "So,...Um, about the concert right? Are you coming or not?"
Jimmy: "I'm sorry guys, I completely forgot" "I can't, I have other plans"
Carl: "What other plans?"
They both looked eager to hear what other thing could possibly be more important than the concert they've been waiting to see for months.
Jimmy: "Well, I was hoping me and Cindy could go to this really pretty spot, it's right outside town, It over looks over Retroville Bay, and the Retroville skyline at night, I hear it's supposed to be beautiful..."
Sheen and Carl looked at Jimmy with blank expressions on their faces
Sheen: " Are you trying to tell me that you are giving up the concert, to go out with Cindy, to look at some stupid stars?!?!" he said angrily
Jimmy: "Um,..ya, I guess so..."
Sheen: "Just come!" "You see Cindy every damn day!" "Plus, aren't her and Libby having a sleep over tonight?"
Jimmy: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that too..."
Sheen: "Well aren't we Mr.Forgetful today" he said tauntingly
Jimmy ignored Sheen's immature attitude and turned his attention to Cindy, who was now telling Libby why "Angora is the undergo of the generation" Jimmy tried to listed to her until she finished but he couldn't take it, fashion, It made no sense to him.
Jimmy (interrupting Cindy): "Um..Cin?"
Cindy: "Jimmy, I'm talking," she said annoyed
Jimmy: "I know, but, um....can I ask you something?"
Cindy: "Jimmy" "Can't it wait?" "I'm trying to explain to Libby here, that teal caprini platforms are SO not the right thing to go with a crop top and a leather mini"
Jimmy looked clueless and let her continue with her conversation, he tried to listen, she went from clothes, to shoes, to boy bands, to school, homework, and for some strange reason he heard something about butter churning in there....he wasn't about to ask. He kept listening until he couldn't take Cindy's endless talking anymore.
Jimmy: "Cin....Cindy...CINDY!"
Cindy: "What is it?!" she asked looking up at him a little annoyed
Jimmy: "I was just going to ask you, if you wanted to go somewhere special with me tonight"
Cindy: "Why didn't you just say so?" "I'd love to Jimmy you know that"
Libby: "Um, Hello, Yo Cindy, did you forget were havin' our annual BFT sleep ova' tonight"
Cindy: "Oh yeah!" "Sorry Jimmy we will have to do it some other day"
Jimmy: "B-but Cindy!" "It needs to be tonight!" he said this because a meteor shower was going to pass by that night. It wouldn't come by for another 2000 years, and he thought the perfect romantic spot to watch it would be that little spot just out of town, that he had been telling Sheen and Carl about earlier.
Cindy: "Jimmy, your being ridiculous" "We'll just do it some other night!"
Jimmy: "Please Cindy!..P-P-p-p-p-p- leeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!" he decided to resort to begging and when that didn't work he used his secret weapon...puppy eyes.
Cindy: "Awwwwwwwwww!!!!!" "The puppy eyes! No fair!"
Jimmy: "So is that a yes?"
Cindy: "Jimmy!" " I'm supposed to spend the night at Libby house!"
Jimmy gave her one more look and she turned to discuss with Libby, she could never say "no" to Jimmy's puppy eyes
Cindy: "Okay, I'll go, where are we going?"
Jimmy: "Can't tell you, it's a surprise"
Cindy: "I hate it when you do this to me"
He gave her a sweet half smile and shook his head a little. The rest of the day went by quickly...to Jimmy at least...Sheen however gained two more detentions making his final count 9 and Carl just couldn't stand being away from his favorite llama Margery.
They all stood outside of the school ready to leave
Jimmy: "So, I'll pick you up tonight at around....9:00?"
Cindy: "Sure I'll see you then Jimmy"
She leaned up to give him a goodbye kiss, for she had to do this because he was taller than she was by almost a foot. His hair looked differently though, instead of the point going up, it sorta went back so his hair was flat on top then had a point in the back. They kissed goodbye and Cindy and Libby walked off the other way as Jimmy and Carl headed towards Jimmy's house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy: "Carl?"
Carl: "Ya, Jim?"
Jimmy: "Isn't Cin-
Carl: "Jim, ya know...if this has anything remotely to do with Cindy, can you please um....not tell me"
Jimmy: "Oh,.oh.I.um..nevermind"
Carl: "I mean jeeze Jimmy, all you ever talk about is her..its like your in love with her of something."
Jimmy: "Carl.I...I think I am"
Carl: "Am what?" he replied totally unaware that Jimmy was answering his last statement
Jimmy: "Love her Carl, love her!" he said a tad frustrated that Carl didn't know what he was saying
Carl: "Love who?" he said still not knowing what Jimmy was talking about
Jimmy: "CINDY!"
Carl: "You do!?"
Jimmy: ".....ya, Carl..I do, she's the most amazing person I've ever met, I mean, she's smart, gorgeous, talented, funny, witty, sweet, strong, good- willed, determined, beautiful..." Jimmy would have continued talking forever if Carl didn't stop him once more.
Carl: "Jimmy.." Jimmy kept on talking about Cindy "Jimmy" Carl said with a hint of annoyance in his voice "JIMMY!!"
Jimmy snapped out of his droning Cindy talk and was startled at Carl's demand for him to listen to him
Jimmy: "Wha.What is it Carl?"
Carl: "Shut up" he said with exasperation, Jimmy raised both eyebrows and stopped for a moment, but then like perpetuality started to talk about Cindy again.
Carl (to himself): "First it was science...now it's Cindy and science..two things I'll never understand"
Carl decided to try and change the subject, but he knew one way or another, something he said would lead to Cindy
Carl: "So, um, Jim? Did you know I'm getting a new car on Saturday?"
Jimmy: "Really?.that's great Carl." "I wish I could afford something new" "I mean my cars alright, its my dad's old one, it gets me where I need to go, but, who wouldn't want a nice, new leather apoulstered , bright red, convertible, with semi-alti rear view side handles, adjustable light flaps, a crystal windshield and silver plated hubcaps with the newest eco-modern design...Just imagine it Carl.the wind blowing in your face, the open road, the sweet smell of fresh air....."
Jimmy started going off to his own little world again, so Carl had to bring him back to reality.
Carl: "Jimmy?.What are you talking about? I'm getting a used KIA Sephia"
Jimmy: "Oh.ya ya, I know Carl" "But a guy can dream can't he?"
Carl: "I guess so" Jimmy: "We need to take a road trip..vacation's coming up soon..maybe then" he said with a sigh
Carl: "Maybe, but I'm not going anywhere in your car" "It's a heap Jim, How can you even drive that thing?" "Every time I see it I think its just gonna fall apart, like a jigsaw puzzle"
Jimmy: "Hey! What are you talking about?" "My car is fine, I just tuned it up last week"
Carl: "Jimmy that thing is unsafe" "The steering wheel doesn't steer all the way, the brake fluid leaks, it stalls every time you stop, the transmissions busted, you have to slam the doors to shut them, the windows don't go down all the way, the paints rusting......"
Jimmy: "I get the point Carl. Sure, you have to jerk the steering wheel a little, and maybe push the door with a little extra strength to shut them.okay, and maybe the paints coming off a little, but the brakes and transmission are fine." "Every car is like that, especially the used ones"
Carl: "Right" he said sarcastically
Jimmy: "Well seeya Carl!" Jimmy raised his hand and waved to his friend as he took a left onto his street while Carl traveled right.
Carl: "Later Jimmy!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy: "Mom! I'm home!" Jimmy walked into his kitchen from the backdoor and threw his backpack up onto the counter.
Jimmy: "Mom?!.Did you go shopping today?" he yelled to his mother who was no where to be seen. Jimmy spied a few bags of groceries and started rummaging threw them to see if she bought any....pie.
Jimmy: "Ah-ha!" Jimmy made a silent victory noise as he pulled out an apple pie neatly wrapped and put in a pie box, he took it out of the bag and made his way over to the table grabbing a plastic fork on the way. He sat down at the table and opened the box, which proved extremely difficult because of its ornate wrapping stile.
Jimmy: "Why is gods name would anyone wrap a pie this much" Jimmy complained to himself as he was trying to open it, finally he snapped the string and tape and opened the box "Yes"..Jimmy grabbed his fork looking at the delicious pie and was about to dig in but before he could, he was stopped at the exact moment before his fork would have pierced the piecrust.
Judy: "James Neutron, don't you dare eat that pie!" Jimmy's mother proclaimed as she made her way into the dining room, she went up to Jimmy and grabbed the box off the table and walked back into the kitchen, she started sorting the groceries neatly into piles, canned food by alphabetical order
Jimmy got up from the table and walked to the counter where his mother was
Jimmy: "You always catch me" Jimmy remarked
Judy: "I've lived with your father for years Jimmy. And if there is one thing I know, it's never leave an innocent pie out in the open when a Neutron man is on the prowl" she looked up to her son who was by now much taller then she was and smirked
Jimmy shook his head gently and smiled, walking over to the refrigerator
Jimmy: "At least I got my Purple Flurp right?" Jimmy reached into the side door and pulled out a beer, while his mother wasn't looking, and walked up stairs to his room
He entered his room and shut the door, locking it. He then snapped open the cap of the beer and turned it to his lips tipping it upwards drinking it slowly so he could feel the cold, smoothe lather run down his throat and into his stomach.
Jimmy: "ahhhhhhh" he let out a happy sigh after his first sip then yelled for his mechanical best friend
Jimmy: "Goddard, Goddard?" "Where are you boy?" he said while looking underneath his desk and scanning the room with his eyes
A small metal creature came entering the room wagging his tail and panting happily.
Goddard: "Bark! Whop! Blach!"
Jimmy: "Hungry boy?" "You want a nice, juicy can? Huh? Huh?"
Goddard barked and jumped impatiently for Jimmy to drop the can just like he had when Jimmy was still young. Jimmy quickly gulped down all what was last of his drink, wiped his mouth and threw the empty can to his dog. Goddard jumped up excited and caught the can in his mouth, he started to chew it, then made a disgusted face/noise.
Jimmy: "Aww, I know you don't like the taste of the beer boy, but it's only the after taste" he said offering an alternative
Jimmy looked around his room aimlessly and then peered at the phone. Thinking to himself, he wanted to call Cindy, he glanced at the clock "4:00 pm" he stated
Jimmy: "I still have approximatly five hours until I see her, Goddard, set alarm for 8:00 pm boy" with that Jimmy curled up on his bed and went to sleep
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Cindy was at the Retroville Mall with Libby and Sheen
Cindy: "Remind me why he is here again" she said sounding repulsed
Libby: "Cin, Sheen is my boyfriend, you know that, just lay off, okay girl?"
Cindy: "Okay, maybe I could take it if he at least acted like a normal human being when we're in public.but it's clearly shown, that's not possible for Sheen" she then gestured to Sheen who was shoving little kids away from a gumball machine because he wanted "the yellow one"
Libby: "Sheen get your butt over here!" Sheen then looked at her and started walking towards them unhappily. He heard the little kids snickering behind him, he turned around and stuck his tongue out, they simply laughed him off, he then became annoyed and decided to give them the finger, they started at him wide-eyed and ran away crying.
Sheen: "Ha!" he walked over to the gumball machine and knelt down to get the gumball out of the dispenser. He pulled his hand out and looked at Libby and Cindy who were now facing the other way pretending not to know him. He called their names out and they looked back at him. He stupidly shook his hand at them which inside it was the yellow gumball. He then made his way over to the two girls, smiling to himself.
Sheen: "See, nobody messes with me"
Cindy: "Oh yeah, those six year olds were really roughing you Sheen, great job" she replied sarcastically
Sheen rolled his eyes and grabbed Libby's hand so they were holding hands, fingers laced. Cindy walked along the other side of Libby.
Sheen: "Lets go to the food court"
Libby: "Sheen, we just ate at mah' house"
Sheen: "I know...but I'm hungry again.please, please, please pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeee"
Libby: "Fine, fine, Is that okay with you Cin?"
Cindy: "Oh yeah, whatever, my hands are getting tired from holding all these bags anyway"
They made their way over to the food court and sat down. Cindy had got a bagel at Au Bon Pain and Libby got a small salad at D'Angelo's, Sheen on the other hand, decided to eat out the mall by ordering the largest thing possible, Cindy and Libby again sat embarassed at their table.
Libby: "God, Sheen, how much can you eat?!" she said staring at Sheen's gargantuan meal
Sheen: "I don't know..wanna try and find out?!" he said excitedly
Cindy: "No way! We already know that you, Jimmy and Carl are the three biggest trash desposals in Retroville" "By the way, Ultra Freak, Do you have any idea about where Jimmy is taking me tonight?"
Sheen: 'Me?! Um...uh.no"
Cindy: "Sheen! Tell me!"
Sheen: "I said I didn't know anything!"
Libby: "Sheen, we know, that you know, that we know, that you know that we know that your not telling us the truth" she said very quickly, expecting people to know what she meant
Sheen just looked at her blankly
Sheen: "Uh...I.I.gotta um...go.."
Cindy: "Go where?"
Sheen: "Um.well, ya see...I.uh..promised my mothers, sister's daughters..uh..grandmother.that I'd help her change her ...fax cartrage.because I have to cuz'..um.tomorrow shes going to Africa for a safari.heh heh." he got up uneasily from the table and walked away quickly to avoid confrontation
Cindy: "That was the lamest most unprepared lie I've heard in a long time" her and Libby both started laughing
Libby: "I hope Jimmy takes you somewhere romantic, maybe he's gonna take you to a.hotel.heehee"
Cindy: "Libby!" "Jimmy is not a perv!" "He wouldn't do that! Especially since I told him that I'm not ready for sex until I get married"
Libby: "Sure.Jimmy gets anxious about that you know.."
Cindy: "I know.lets stop talking about this"
Libby: "Whatever girl"
Cindy: "Well, I better be getting home, hafta' get ready for my date!" she got up from the table and grabbed the numerous bags hanging from the chair. "I'll call ya later Libby"
Libby: "Bye Cin!" she replied as Cindy walked away she stayed to finish her salad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9:00 at Cindy's house
Cindy stood in front of her mirror awaiting Jimmy's arrival so she could leave. She fixed her hair, added a few more squirts of hair spray just to make sure any pieces didn't fall out. She hummed along to one of her favorite songs that was blasting on the radio.
BEEP BEEP!
Cindy heard the beep of Jimmy's old car waiting outside for her to pick her up, she grabbed her coat and put it on, then grabbed her purse.
Cindy: "How polite.he doesn't even come to the door" she replied sarcastically as she ran down the stairs not wanting to make Jimmy wait. "Mom!..I'm leaving with Jimmy!" she yelled to her mother who was somewhere in the house.
Rhonda [cindy's mom]: Alright honey! Be home before twelve! Her mother yelled back.
Cindy: "Okay!" Cindy opened the front door to her house and stepped outside into the fresh early summer air, she took a deep breath enjoying the sent of the grass and shut the door. She hurried down her walkway and waved to Jimmy. "Hey Jim" She pulled open the passenger seat door and got in then slammed it shut. "Hey" she leaned over and gave him a small kiss then reached for the seatbelt that you had to yank with all your might to be able to pull it down to snap it. After a small struggle she snapped the belt and focused on the road. Jimmy started to drive down the dark street. In about 10mins time they boarded the highway. Traveling at about 60mph.
Cindy: "So.Where are we going?!" she asked excited
Jimmy: "Just wait, you'll find out soon enough" he said keeping his eyes on the road
Cindy: "You know I hate when you do this to me.." "Please just tell me where we are going?"
Jimmy: "Cin, patience is the key to success"
Cindy ignored Jimmy's sentiment and kept on talking about different things all of which Jimmy tried to join in but, every time he'd say a word get shushed by Cindy who kept on talking, Jimmy didn't mind though, he enjoyed listening to her. Then they passed a sign that read "You are Now Leaving Retroville" Cindy noticed this and became curious again, they had been driving for roughly a half hour now. It started to rain. Hard. Harder and harder by the minute, Cindy started to get worried and Jimmy got tense at driving in the pouring rain.
Cindy: "Jimmy where are you taking me?" she asked anxiously
Jimmy: "You'll see, just keep talking.we'll be there soon enough"
Cindy did as she was told and continued to talk until another 20mins had passed. Jimmy, although he did not say so, had gotten lost 40mins before.
Cindy: "Jimmy, I'm starting to think you don't know where your going"
Jimmy: "Of course I know where I'm going" he said almost insulted even though he was lying
Cindy: "Well, you don't have to get all defensive about it..I mean we have been driving for about 50 minutes"
Jimmy: "Defensive?.who's getting defensive?" he said irritated
Cindy: "You are!"
~*~*~ Oh were oh were can my baby be? The lord took her away from me, She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good. So I can see my baby when I leave this world.~*~*~
Jimmy: "Cindy will you just shut up for one god damn second?!" "I mean I'm trying to drive here in the pouring rain and your just bitching for no reason!"
Cindy: "I am not!" "You are just getting mad for no reason!" "All I said was that you had no idea where you where going AND I'm right!"
Jimmy: "Alright Cindy! That's it!" he turned his head sideways to face her while he was yelling, unfortunatly enough he did not keep his eyes on the road, not seeing the stalled car stopped up ahead, in the slow lane where he was driving. Cindy saw it in the corner of her eye and let out a scream as they neared close to it.
Cindy: "Jimmy! Look out!"
~*~*~ We were out on a date in my daddy's car we hadn't driven very far Out in the road, right up there, A car was stalled and the engine was dead, I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I'll never forget the sounds that night, The screamin' of the tires and the bustin' of glass, The painful scream that I heard last~*~*~
Jimmy saw the car, but it was too late. He slammed the brake pedal, but as Carl had said to him before the brakes were ailing and didn't work, since he couldn't stop he swerved to the right. The tires screached and screamed like a thousand banchees, you could hear it pierce through your ears. The car violently jerked back after it hit the car in front of it and you could hear it being beaten from the smash. From there, it bounced off the road, stammering along the grass coliding full speed, head-on into a tree. The windsheild shattered into a million pieces and the window of the drivers seat cracked and broke. After that, the car toppulled over onto the passenger side ramming up against a giant boulder in the ground. The passenger seat door was pushed in with a massive, violent wave of force and almost at the exact instant the car door was squished you could hear a painful, high-pitched, excrutiating female sounding scream. The car stopped moving. There was silence except for the low rumbling sound of the up turned wheels of the car still revolving and the rain pouring down hard like baseballs, the thunder crackling. Lightning flashed once and danced along the landscape only so you could see the skid marks from the car on the road and in a muddy path onto the grass and then the horrifying site of Jimmy's upturned car against the boulder.
It all happened in an instant. Jimmy remembered being jerked back and fourth with violent force. He heard the ear piercing screaming of the tires and the shattering of glass, then he heard it, he heard her blood curdling scream, then he heard silence. Everything was quite. His head pounded, he felt weak, he could barely see. He closed his eyes.
~*~*~ Oh where, oh were can my baby be? The lord took her away from me, She's gone to heaven, so I'll got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave This world ~*~*~
People saw this terrible scene and called emergency care centers immeadiatly, police, medical specialists, news crews, the fire department, and ambulances all arrived
Jimmy opened his eyes, the rain was pouring. It was dark. He heard sounds from all around him. He was laying on the dirty grass about 20ft from the car. He tried to sit up and was in so much pain. He couldn't so he layed down again, his head pounded like a million beating drums. He looked around, he couldn't see clearly, he saw lights, lots of different color lights, flashing, red ones and blues, white. He heard people and opened his eyes again, there were people everywhere, all around. He opened his eyes wider and tried to sit up again, he scooted back so he was sitting leaning against a tree trunk. He tried to think what was going on, why his head was hurting so much. Then he remembered, the car, the car in the middle of the road. He thought he must have gotten in an accident, but how? Then like he just got electricuted he shot up and thought "I was fighting with Cindy" He struggled to his feet, when he did he felt a rush of dizzyness overtake his body, he stammered backward a bit but managed to stay on his feet. He looked around frantically, he noticed it was hard to see again. He touched his face and felt liquid, he ran his hand up his face until he reached his eye, more wetness than before. First he thought it was sweat, he pulled his hand away into the blinking white light of what appeared to be a fire engine, it wasn't clear like sweat. It was red, red like blood. His eye was gushing, he refused to let that stop him from finding Cindy. He closed his eye tight and tried to look, he saw a motionless figure on the grass a few feet in front of him. He ran to it and then fell on his knees beside it.
Jimmy: "Cindy?!" he said in a horrified voice, for even not being able to see all the way he could see the severity of the damage done to Cindy's body, he saw blood everywhere, he wanted to vomit.
Jimmy: "Cindy answer me" he plead
Cindy slowly opened her eyes only moving her head and face
Cindy: "Jimmy?" she said in a small weak voice "Jimmy is that you?"
Jimmy: "Ya.I'm here.don't worry" he replied, shaking, he held her head, she looked at him and said
Cindy: "Hold me darlin', just a little while" she whispered weakly, then made a very weak smile
Jimmy's already wet eyes welled up with tears and he started to cry, he leaned into her and they kissed, the softest, most romantic kiss you'd ever see. Then they pulled apart, Cindy who was only moving her head, layed it back down. Jimmy held her and grabbed her hand, he could feel her squeezing his back.
Jimmy: "I love you" he said while crying and trying to whisper softly
He felt her grasp on his hand become smaller, then it fell limp. He held her even more tightly and cried his eyes out. Paramedics watched as Jimmy held the no longer moving Cindy in his arms.
~*~*~ When I woke up the rain was pouring down, There were people standing all around, Something warm flowing through my eyes, But somehow I found my baby that night, I held her head she looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin', just a little while", I held her close we kissed, our last kiss, I found the love that I knew I had missed, I held her tight, even though she was gone, I lost my love, my life, that night ~*~*~

*******************************************
It was a calm and peaceful Friday at Retroville High School, The halls were silent, there were no lockers slamming shut, or people running down the halls, hoping not to be caught slipping in late for their next class . Inside room 203 was History Class 101...
Mrs..Stitch was carelessly facing her blackboard mindlessly droning on about Greek Mythology, while more than half of her class were slowly but surely dozing off to sleep, the other few were day dreaming and only two were hurrying to scramble down notes...Jimmy Neutron and Cindy Vortex..
Sheen: "Hey.. Pssssst!! Carl! Are me you and Jimmy still up for the concert tonight?", he whispered to Carl who was at the adjacent desk.
Carl: "Um...I don't know, I mean I'll go, it's just...."
Sheen/Carl: "Cindy"
They both replied in an annoyed and somewhat disgusted voice as they glanced over at Jimmy's desk, he was sitting in the front row with Cindy to his left, he had his left hand extended into the isle holding Cindy's right hand, they both attentively glued their eyes to the teacher and listened carefully to the lesson, but every once in a while you would hear a small, high-pitched, giggle come from Cindy, who everyone knew was laughing at something Jimmy said, for she did this often.
Sheen: "He always hangs around with her! Why can't he just ever hang with his buds for a bit, huh?" Carl: "I dnno", Carl replied cluelessly, "But it's been like that since they started going out"
Sheen: "Ya! Three years ago!"
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen, Carl!" "One more whisper out of you two and you'll both be in detention this afternoon!"
Sheen, inferiorily looked the other way, blowing off the teachers threat, while Carl sat frozen to his seat unwaveringly paying attention to the teacher as she went back to her lesson.
Sheen looked around making sure no one was looking at him and again whispered for his friend.
Sheen: "Carl! Psssssst! Hey Carl!", Sheen put on an impatient face when Carl didn't reply, "Carl, Carl!" he tried again
Carl: "Sheen! Shhhhh!" "Pay attention!, you gonna get us in trouble!" he whispered frantically
Sheen: "Carl! Lay off!, we gotta ask Jimmy if he's still comin'! ...He better be, I paid 16 weeks allowance for those tickets!" "And that's only for the 20th row!" Imagine how much Ultra Lord merchandise I couldn't purchased with the money I paid for HIS ticket!" , he said blowing off his friends warning
Carl: "Sheen!" "Cut it out!, pay attention to the lesson!" Do you WANT a detention?", he said again trying to get his friend to be quiet.
Sheen: "Carl, I already have 6 detentions!" "Plus, if this lesson were anymore boring, I would think I was at home on Thanksgiving, listening to my Grandma talk about her 'exciting life on the radish farm'" he said this with a funny tone to his voice. "Ask him Carl!" "You're closest!"
Carl: Bu-mmmmmmmm...he sighed surrenderingly to Sheen as he reached to tap Jimmy's shoulder. "Jimmy!.hey Jimmy!" he whispered softly
Jimmy: "Wha-.oh, What is it Carl?", he asked, Cindy returned this interuptance with an annoyed glare to Carl, who when saw her do this slunk in his seat a little, Jimmy turned his head forward a little to see what his friend was retreating from, when Cindy saw this she put on a big smile that said " I didn't do it" all over it. Carl: "Um..Sheen was wondering if you, me, and him are still up for the concert tonight?"
Jimmy looked back at Sheen who was impatiently awaiting an answer; Jimmy in his mind cringed for he had totally forgotten about the concert.
Jimmy: "Aw..gee guys.I um kinda..forgot..."
Sheen hearing this jumped up in his seat startled, and yelled
Sheen: "FORGOT?!?"
Sheen looked around for everyone had their eyes on him, Libby slapped herself on the head, for he frequently did embarrassing things such as this, and she always got blamed for "not training him well enough" by the other girls in school who supposedly had all their boyfriends acting like complete gentlemen, but as she looked upon her class she could clearly see that none of the guys were gentlemen...far from it actually.....
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen! Simmer down!"
Sheen: " Sorry...Mrs..Bitch.." he said under his breath, it was obvious that Sheen and Mrs.Stitch did not get along, Sheen was the class clown and she was a no non-sense kind of gal.
Mrs.Stitch: "What was that!?" she asked knowing what he said
Sheen: "I said sorry, Mrs.Stitch" he said in a mocking tone
Mrs.Stitch: "Sheen, I'll see you after class"
Sheen: "Whatever" he said not caring
Sheen then returned his attention back to the matter with Jimmy
Sheen: "Forgot?!, Forgot?!" "How could you forget?!" " We've been planning this for months!" he said a little quieter
Jimmy: I don't know....something more important came up that's all....
BBBBBBRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGGGG
The bell rang,. They all walked to their lockers to retrieve money, bag lunches, purses and other things they needed for everyone's favorite time of the day, Lunch.
Jimmy, holding hands with Cindy walked into the cafeteria and got in line. Carl came bobbling in with a grocery-store bag chock-full of his favorite snacks
Jimmy (in line looking at the lunch behind the glass): "Are they sure this content in edible?" Jimmy questioned as he looked grossed out at the brownish-blue, globs of slop, slapped onto his lunch tray by the not so feminine looking lunch ladies.
Cindy: "I don't know", she said looking disgusted at Jimmy's so-called lunch,"But, that's why I always bring my lunch" she said.
As Jimmy paid for his, she waited, after he did, she grabbed his hand and they walked over to a table. She unpacked her very neat lunch, pulled out a bottle of Evian and a juicy, steaming, luscious, mouth watering steak and cheese sub. Jimmy looked dimly at his gooey, glop and then back at Cindy's meal. He almost felt like drooling it smelt so good, Cindy was just about to take a gigantic bite of her meal when she noticed Jimmy looking poorly at his lunch, she started to giggle
Cindy: Hee.heeheehhee....
Jimmy looked up instantly from his cold, sad meal
Jimmy: "What's so funny?" he asked curiously
Cindy: "It's just..heehee...heee..your SO pathetic!...heeheehee" she said looking at him, still holding the sub in two hands, in front of her face, Jimmy looked at her questionably, Cindy glanced back at him then started to break her sub in half
Cindy: "Here" she said holding out one half of the sub " I couldn't even make you suffer through that lunch" she said still giggling, Jimmy smiled relentlessly and took the sub and started to eat.
Sheen came up to the table just as Libby sat down along with Carl.
Jimmy: "So Sheen, what did Mrs.Stitch want?"
Sheen dug in his pocket for a moment then pulled out yet another detention slip from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Sheen: "7th one today!" he boasted proudly
Cindy: "Sheen, could you be anymore of a loser?" she asked, smirking
Sheen: "Ha-ha, well at least I'm not like you, you fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down!"{I know that's 400 hundred years old, but sue me} he started to laugh, but this statement was returned by a very evil glare from Jimmy, and he suddenly stopped. Cindy ignoring the comment simply continued insulting.
Cindy: " Well you know what Sheen?"
Sheen (taunting): "What Cindy?"
Cindy: "If you were any more stupid, you be a rock. Oops, actually it's the other way around, If the rock were any stupider it'd be you!!! Ahahahahahahah!!!" , this comment was followed by hysterical laughter from Cindy and Libby, who even know was Sheen's girlfriend couldn't hold the laughter in.
Sheen gave Cindy a look. Jimmy decided to change the conversation but before he could, Carl meekly started talking.
Carl: "So,...Um, about the concert right? Are you coming or not?"
Jimmy: "I'm sorry guys, I completely forgot" "I can't, I have other plans"
Carl: "What other plans?"
They both looked eager to hear what other thing could possibly be more important than the concert they've been waiting to see for months.
Jimmy: "Well, I was hoping me and Cindy could go to this really pretty spot, it's right outside town, It over looks over Retroville Bay, and the Retroville skyline at night, I hear it's supposed to be beautiful..."
Sheen and Carl looked at Jimmy with blank expressions on their faces
Sheen: " Are you trying to tell me that you are giving up the concert, to go out with Cindy, to look at some stupid stars?!?!" he said angrily
Jimmy: "Um,..ya, I guess so..."
Sheen: "Just come!" "You see Cindy every damn day!" "Plus, aren't her and Libby having a sleep over tonight?"
Jimmy: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that too..."
Sheen: "Well aren't we Mr.Forgetful today" he said tauntingly
Jimmy ignored Sheen's immature attitude and turned his attention to Cindy, who was now telling Libby why "Angora is the undergo of the generation" Jimmy tried to listed to her until she finished but he couldn't take it, fashion, It made no sense to him.
Jimmy (interrupting Cindy): "Um..Cin?"
Cindy: "Jimmy, I'm talking," she said annoyed
Jimmy: "I know, but, um....can I ask you something?"
Cindy: "Jimmy" "Can't it wait?" "I'm trying to explain to Libby here, that teal caprini platforms are SO not the right thing to go with a crop top and a leather mini"
Jimmy looked clueless and let her continue with her conversation, he tried to listen, she went from clothes, to shoes, to boy bands, to school, homework, and for some strange reason he heard something about butter churning in there....he wasn't about to ask. He kept listening until he couldn't take Cindy's endless talking anymore.
Jimmy: "Cin....Cindy...CINDY!"
Cindy: "What is it?!" she asked looking up at him a little annoyed
Jimmy: "I was just going to ask you, if you wanted to go somewhere special with me tonight"
Cindy: "Why didn't you just say so?" "I'd love to Jimmy you know that"
Libby: "Um, Hello, Yo Cindy, did you forget were havin' our annual BFT sleep ova' tonight"
Cindy: "Oh yeah!" "Sorry Jimmy we will have to do it some other day"
Jimmy: "B-but Cindy!" "It needs to be tonight!" he said this because a meteor shower was going to pass by that night. It wouldn't come by for another 2000 years, and he thought the perfect romantic spot to watch it would be that little spot just out of town, that he had been telling Sheen and Carl about earlier.
Cindy: "Jimmy, your being ridiculous" "We'll just do it some other night!"
Jimmy: "Please Cindy!..P-P-p-p-p-p- leeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!" he decided to resort to begging and when that didn't work he used his secret weapon...puppy eyes.
Cindy: "Awwwwwwwwww!!!!!" "The puppy eyes! No fair!"
Jimmy: "So is that a yes?"
Cindy: "Jimmy!" " I'm supposed to spend the night at Libby house!"
Jimmy gave her one more look and she turned to discuss with Libby, she could never say "no" to Jimmy's puppy eyes
Cindy: "Okay, I'll go, where are we going?"
Jimmy: "Can't tell you, it's a surprise"
Cindy: "I hate it when you do this to me"
He gave her a sweet half smile and shook his head a little. The rest of the day went by quickly...to Jimmy at least...Sheen however gained two more detentions making his final count 9 and Carl just couldn't stand being away from his favorite llama Margery.
They all stood outside of the school ready to leave
Jimmy: "So, I'll pick you up tonight at around....9:00?"
Cindy: "Sure I'll see you then Jimmy"
She leaned up to give him a goodbye kiss, for she had to do this because he was taller than she was by almost a foot. His hair looked differently though, instead of the point going up, it sorta went back so his hair was flat on top then had a point in the back. They kissed goodbye and Cindy and Libby walked off the other way as Jimmy and Carl headed towards Jimmy's house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy: "Carl?"
Carl: "Ya, Jim?"
Jimmy: "Isn't Cin-
Carl: "Jim, ya know...if this has anything remotely to do with Cindy, can you please um....not tell me"
Jimmy: "Oh,.oh.I.um..nevermind"
Carl: "I mean jeeze Jimmy, all you ever talk about is her..its like your in love with her of something."
Jimmy: "Carl.I...I think I am"
Carl: "Am what?" he replied totally unaware that Jimmy was answering his last statement
Jimmy: "Love her Carl, love her!" he said a tad frustrated that Carl didn't know what he was saying
Carl: "Love who?" he said still not knowing what Jimmy was talking about
Jimmy: "CINDY!"
Carl: "You do!?"
Jimmy: ".....ya, Carl..I do, she's the most amazing person I've ever met, I mean, she's smart, gorgeous, talented, funny, witty, sweet, strong, good- willed, determined, beautiful..." Jimmy would have continued talking forever if Carl didn't stop him once more.
Carl: "Jimmy.." Jimmy kept on talking about Cindy "Jimmy" Carl said with a hint of annoyance in his voice "JIMMY!!"
Jimmy snapped out of his droning Cindy talk and was startled at Carl's demand for him to listen to him
Jimmy: "Wha.What is it Carl?"
Carl: "Shut up" he said with exasperation, Jimmy raised both eyebrows and stopped for a moment, but then like perpetuality started to talk about Cindy again.
Carl (to himself): "First it was science...now it's Cindy and science..two things I'll never understand"
Carl decided to try and change the subject, but he knew one way or another, something he said would lead to Cindy
Carl: "So, um, Jim? Did you know I'm getting a new car on Saturday?"
Jimmy: "Really?.that's great Carl." "I wish I could afford something new" "I mean my cars alright, its my dad's old one, it gets me where I need to go, but, who wouldn't want a nice, new leather apoulstered , bright red, convertible, with semi-alti rear view side handles, adjustable light flaps, a crystal windshield and silver plated hubcaps with the newest eco-modern design...Just imagine it Carl.the wind blowing in your face, the open road, the sweet smell of fresh air....."
Jimmy started going off to his own little world again, so Carl had to bring him back to reality.
Carl: "Jimmy?.What are you talking about? I'm getting a used KIA Sephia"
Jimmy: "Oh.ya ya, I know Carl" "But a guy can dream can't he?"
Carl: "I guess so" Jimmy: "We need to take a road trip..vacation's coming up soon..maybe then" he said with a sigh
Carl: "Maybe, but I'm not going anywhere in your car" "It's a heap Jim, How can you even drive that thing?" "Every time I see it I think its just gonna fall apart, like a jigsaw puzzle"
Jimmy: "Hey! What are you talking about?" "My car is fine, I just tuned it up last week"
Carl: "Jimmy that thing is unsafe" "The steering wheel doesn't steer all the way, the brake fluid leaks, it stalls every time you stop, the transmissions busted, you have to slam the doors to shut them, the windows don't go down all the way, the paints rusting......"
Jimmy: "I get the point Carl. Sure, you have to jerk the steering wheel a little, and maybe push the door with a little extra strength to shut them.okay, and maybe the paints coming off a little, but the brakes and transmission are fine." "Every car is like that, especially the used ones"
Carl: "Right" he said sarcastically
Jimmy: "Well seeya Carl!" Jimmy raised his hand and waved to his friend as he took a left onto his street while Carl traveled right.
Carl: "Later Jimmy!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jimmy: "Mom! I'm home!" Jimmy walked into his kitchen from the backdoor and threw his backpack up onto the counter.
Jimmy: "Mom?!.Did you go shopping today?" he yelled to his mother who was no where to be seen. Jimmy spied a few bags of groceries and started rummaging threw them to see if she bought any....pie.
Jimmy: "Ah-ha!" Jimmy made a silent victory noise as he pulled out an apple pie neatly wrapped and put in a pie box, he took it out of the bag and made his way over to the table grabbing a plastic fork on the way. He sat down at the table and opened the box, which proved extremely difficult because of its ornate wrapping stile.
Jimmy: "Why is gods name would anyone wrap a pie this much" Jimmy complained to himself as he was trying to open it, finally he snapped the string and tape and opened the box "Yes"..Jimmy grabbed his fork looking at the delicious pie and was about to dig in but before he could, he was stopped at the exact moment before his fork would have pierced the piecrust.
Judy: "James Neutron, don't you dare eat that pie!" Jimmy's mother proclaimed as she made her way into the dining room, she went up to Jimmy and grabbed the box off the table and walked back into the kitchen, she started sorting the groceries neatly into piles, canned food by alphabetical order
Jimmy got up from the table and walked to the counter where his mother was
Jimmy: "You always catch me" Jimmy remarked
Judy: "I've lived with your father for years Jimmy. And if there is one thing I know, it's never leave an innocent pie out in the open when a Neutron man is on the prowl" she looked up to her son who was by now much taller then she was and smirked
Jimmy shook his head gently and smiled, walking over to the refrigerator
Jimmy: "At least I got my Purple Flurp right?" Jimmy reached into the side door and pulled out a beer, while his mother wasn't looking, and walked up stairs to his room
He entered his room and shut the door, locking it. He then snapped open the cap of the beer and turned it to his lips tipping it upwards drinking it slowly so he could feel the cold, smoothe lather run down his throat and into his stomach.
Jimmy: "ahhhhhhh" he let out a happy sigh after his first sip then yelled for his mechanical best friend
Jimmy: "Goddard, Goddard?" "Where are you boy?" he said while looking underneath his desk and scanning the room with his eyes
A small metal creature came entering the room wagging his tail and panting happily.
Goddard: "Bark! Whop! Blach!"
Jimmy: "Hungry boy?" "You want a nice, juicy can? Huh? Huh?"
Goddard barked and jumped impatiently for Jimmy to drop the can just like he had when Jimmy was still young. Jimmy quickly gulped down all what was last of his drink, wiped his mouth and threw the empty can to his dog. Goddard jumped up excited and caught the can in his mouth, he started to chew it, then made a disgusted face/noise.
Jimmy: "Aww, I know you don't like the taste of the beer boy, but it's only the after taste" he said offering an alternative
Jimmy looked around his room aimlessly and then peered at the phone. Thinking to himself, he wanted to call Cindy, he glanced at the clock "4:00 pm" he stated
Jimmy: "I still have approximatly five hours until I see her, Goddard, set alarm for 8:00 pm boy" with that Jimmy curled up on his bed and went to sleep
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile Cindy was at the Retroville Mall with Libby and Sheen
Cindy: "Remind me why he is here again" she said sounding repulsed
Libby: "Cin, Sheen is my boyfriend, you know that, just lay off, okay girl?"
Cindy: "Okay, maybe I could take it if he at least acted like a normal human being when we're in public.but it's clearly shown, that's not possible for Sheen" she then gestured to Sheen who was shoving little kids away from a gumball machine because he wanted "the yellow one"
Libby: "Sheen get your butt over here!" Sheen then looked at her and started walking towards them unhappily. He heard the little kids snickering behind him, he turned around and stuck his tongue out, they simply laughed him off, he then became annoyed and decided to give them the finger, they started at him wide-eyed and ran away crying.
Sheen: "Ha!" he walked over to the gumball machine and knelt down to get the gumball out of the dispenser. He pulled his hand out and looked at Libby and Cindy who were now facing the other way pretending not to know him. He called their names out and they looked back at him. He stupidly shook his hand at them which inside it was the yellow gumball. He then made his way over to the two girls, smiling to himself.
Sheen: "See, nobody messes with me"
Cindy: "Oh yeah, those six year olds were really roughing you Sheen, great job" she replied sarcastically
Sheen rolled his eyes and grabbed Libby's hand so they were holding hands, fingers laced. Cindy walked along the other side of Libby.
Sheen: "Lets go to the food court"
Libby: "Sheen, we just ate at mah' house"
Sheen: "I know...but I'm hungry again.please, please, please pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaassssssseeeeee"
Libby: "Fine, fine, Is that okay with you Cin?"
Cindy: "Oh yeah, whatever, my hands are getting tired from holding all these bags anyway"
They made their way over to the food court and sat down. Cindy had got a bagel at Au Bon Pain and Libby got a small salad at D'Angelo's, Sheen on the other hand, decided to eat out the mall by ordering the largest thing possible, Cindy and Libby again sat embarassed at their table.
Libby: "God, Sheen, how much can you eat?!" she said staring at Sheen's gargantuan meal
Sheen: "I don't know..wanna try and find out?!" he said excitedly
Cindy: "No way! We already know that you, Jimmy and Carl are the three biggest trash desposals in Retroville" "By the way, Ultra Freak, Do you have any idea about where Jimmy is taking me tonight?"
Sheen: 'Me?! Um...uh.no"
Cindy: "Sheen! Tell me!"
Sheen: "I said I didn't know anything!"
Libby: "Sheen, we know, that you know, that we know, that you know that we know that your not telling us the truth" she said very quickly, expecting people to know what she meant
Sheen just looked at her blankly
Sheen: "Uh...I.I.gotta um...go.."
Cindy: "Go where?"
Sheen: "Um.well, ya see...I.uh..promised my mothers, sister's daughters..uh..grandmother.that I'd help her change her ...fax cartrage.because I have to cuz'..um.tomorrow shes going to Africa for a safari.heh heh." he got up uneasily from the table and walked away quickly to avoid confrontation
Cindy: "That was the lamest most unprepared lie I've heard in a long time" her and Libby both started laughing
Libby: "I hope Jimmy takes you somewhere romantic, maybe he's gonna take you to a.hotel.heehee"
Cindy: "Libby!" "Jimmy is not a perv!" "He wouldn't do that! Especially since I told him that I'm not ready for sex until I get married"
Libby: "Sure.Jimmy gets anxious about that you know.."
Cindy: "I know.lets stop talking about this"
Libby: "Whatever girl"
Cindy: "Well, I better be getting home, hafta' get ready for my date!" she got up from the table and grabbed the numerous bags hanging from the chair. "I'll call ya later Libby"
Libby: "Bye Cin!" she replied as Cindy walked away she stayed to finish her salad.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
9:00 at Cindy's house
Cindy stood in front of her mirror awaiting Jimmy's arrival so she could leave. She fixed her hair, added a few more squirts of hair spray just to make sure any pieces didn't fall out. She hummed along to one of her favorite songs that was blasting on the radio.
BEEP BEEP!
Cindy heard the beep of Jimmy's old car waiting outside for her to pick her up, she grabbed her coat and put it on, then grabbed her purse.
Cindy: "How polite.he doesn't even come to the door" she replied sarcastically as she ran down the stairs not wanting to make Jimmy wait. "Mom!..I'm leaving with Jimmy!" she yelled to her mother who was somewhere in the house.
Rhonda [cindy's mom]: Alright honey! Be home before twelve! Her mother yelled back.
Cindy: "Okay!" Cindy opened the front door to her house and stepped outside into the fresh early summer air, she took a deep breath enjoying the sent of the grass and shut the door. She hurried down her walkway and waved to Jimmy. "Hey Jim" She pulled open the passenger seat door and got in then slammed it shut. "Hey" she leaned over and gave him a small kiss then reached for the seatbelt that you had to yank with all your might to be able to pull it down to snap it. After a small struggle she snapped the belt and focused on the road. Jimmy started to drive down the dark street. In about 10mins time they boarded the highway. Traveling at about 60mph.
Cindy: "So.Where are we going?!" she asked excited
Jimmy: "Just wait, you'll find out soon enough" he said keeping his eyes on the road
Cindy: "You know I hate when you do this to me.." "Please just tell me where we are going?"
Jimmy: "Cin, patience is the key to success"
Cindy ignored Jimmy's sentiment and kept on talking about different things all of which Jimmy tried to join in but, every time he'd say a word get shushed by Cindy who kept on talking, Jimmy didn't mind though, he enjoyed listening to her. Then they passed a sign that read "You are Now Leaving Retroville" Cindy noticed this and became curious again, they had been driving for roughly a half hour now. It started to rain. Hard. Harder and harder by the minute, Cindy started to get worried and Jimmy got tense at driving in the pouring rain.
Cindy: "Jimmy where are you taking me?" she asked anxiously
Jimmy: "You'll see, just keep talking.we'll be there soon enough"
Cindy did as she was told and continued to talk until another 20mins had passed. Jimmy, although he did not say so, had gotten lost 40mins before.
Cindy: "Jimmy, I'm starting to think you don't know where your going"
Jimmy: "Of course I know where I'm going" he said almost insulted even though he was lying
Cindy: "Well, you don't have to get all defensive about it..I mean we have been driving for about 50 minutes"
Jimmy: "Defensive?.who's getting defensive?" he said irritated
Cindy: "You are!"
~*~*~ Oh were oh were can my baby be? The lord took her away from me, She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good. So I can see my baby when I leave this world.~*~*~
Jimmy: "Cindy will you just shut up for one god damn second?!" "I mean I'm trying to drive here in the pouring rain and your just bitching for no reason!"
Cindy: "I am not!" "You are just getting mad for no reason!" "All I said was that you had no idea where you where going AND I'm right!"
Jimmy: "Alright Cindy! That's it!" he turned his head sideways to face her while he was yelling, unfortunatly enough he did not keep his eyes on the road, not seeing the stalled car stopped up ahead, in the slow lane where he was driving. Cindy saw it in the corner of her eye and let out a scream as they neared close to it.
Cindy: "Jimmy! Look out!"
~*~*~ We were out on a date in my daddy's car we hadn't driven very far Out in the road, right up there, A car was stalled and the engine was dead, I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I'll never forget the sounds that night, The screamin' of the tires and the bustin' of glass, The painful scream that I heard last~*~*~
Jimmy saw the car, but it was too late. He slammed the brake pedal, but as Carl had said to him before the brakes were ailing and didn't work, since he couldn't stop he swerved to the right. The tires screached and screamed like a thousand banchees, you could hear it pierce through your ears. The car violently jerked back after it hit the car in front of it and you could hear it being beaten from the smash. From there, it bounced off the road, stammering along the grass coliding full speed, head-on into a tree. The windsheild shattered into a million pieces and the window of the drivers seat cracked and broke. After that, the car toppulled over onto the passenger side ramming up against a giant boulder in the ground. The passenger seat door was pushed in with a massive, violent wave of force and almost at the exact instant the car door was squished you could hear a painful, high-pitched, excrutiating female sounding scream. The car stopped moving. There was silence except for the low rumbling sound of the up turned wheels of the car still revolving and the rain pouring down hard like baseballs, the thunder crackling. Lightning flashed once and danced along the landscape only so you could see the skid marks from the car on the road and in a muddy path onto the grass and then the horrifying site of Jimmy's upturned car against the boulder.
It all happened in an instant. Jimmy remembered being jerked back and fourth with violent force. He heard the ear piercing screaming of the tires and the shattering of glass, then he heard it, he heard her blood curdling scream, then he heard silence. Everything was quite. His head pounded, he felt weak, he could barely see. He closed his eyes.
~*~*~ Oh where, oh were can my baby be? The lord took her away from me, She's gone to heaven, so I'll got to be good, So I can see my baby when I leave This world ~*~*~
People saw this terrible scene and called emergency care centers immeadiatly, police, medical specialists, news crews, the fire department, and ambulances all arrived
Jimmy opened his eyes, the rain was pouring. It was dark. He heard sounds from all around him. He was laying on the dirty grass about 20ft from the car. He tried to sit up and was in so much pain. He couldn't so he layed down again, his head pounded like a million beating drums. He looked around, he couldn't see clearly, he saw lights, lots of different color lights, flashing, red ones and blues, white. He heard people and opened his eyes again, there were people everywhere, all around. He opened his eyes wider and tried to sit up again, he scooted back so he was sitting leaning against a tree trunk. He tried to think what was going on, why his head was hurting so much. Then he remembered, the car, the car in the middle of the road. He thought he must have gotten in an accident, but how? Then like he just got electricuted he shot up and thought "I was fighting with Cindy" He struggled to his feet, when he did he felt a rush of dizzyness overtake his body, he stammered backward a bit but managed to stay on his feet. He looked around frantically, he noticed it was hard to see again. He touched his face and felt liquid, he ran his hand up his face until he reached his eye, more wetness than before. First he thought it was sweat, he pulled his hand away into the blinking white light of what appeared to be a fire engine, it wasn't clear like sweat. It was red, red like blood. His eye was gushing, he refused to let that stop him from finding Cindy. He closed his eye tight and tried to look, he saw a motionless figure on the grass a few feet in front of him. He ran to it and then fell on his knees beside it.
Jimmy: "Cindy?!" he said in a horrified voice, for even not being able to see all the way he could see the severity of the damage done to Cindy's body, he saw blood everywhere, he wanted to vomit.
Jimmy: "Cindy answer me" he plead
Cindy slowly opened her eyes only moving her head and face
Cindy: "Jimmy?" she said in a small weak voice "Jimmy is that you?"
Jimmy: "Ya.I'm here.don't worry" he replied, shaking, he held her head, she looked at him and said
Cindy: "Hold me darlin', just a little while" she whispered weakly, then made a very weak smile
Jimmy's already wet eyes welled up with tears and he started to cry, he leaned into her and they kissed, the softest, most romantic kiss you'd ever see. Then they pulled apart, Cindy who was only moving her head, layed it back down. Jimmy held her and grabbed her hand, he could feel her squeezing his back.
Jimmy: "I love you" he said while crying and trying to whisper softly
He felt her grasp on his hand become smaller, then it fell limp. He held her even more tightly and cried his eyes out. Paramedics watched as Jimmy held the no longer moving Cindy in his arms.
~*~*~ When I woke up the rain was pouring down, There were people standing all around, Something warm flowing through my eyes, But somehow I found my baby that night, I held her head she looked at me and said, "Hold me darlin', just a little while", I held her close we kissed, our last kiss, I found the love that I knew I had missed, I held her tight, even though she was gone, I lost my love, my life, that night ~*~*~
