"C'mon, Cindy. Please answer!" Jimmy said desperately. Cindy still lay, unmoving. "Please, Cindy!" A tear fell from his eye and landed on her cheek. Her eyes opened immediately.
"Wha- where am I? Who are you?" she asked. Her eyes were clouded with confusion. Jimmy opened his mouth to answer, but closed it again. He knew what was wrong.
Amnesia.
There wasn't any point in explaining it all at the moment. "I'll tell you later. For now, just sit back and hold on."
I like blue eyes, hers are green
Not the woman of my dreams
And her hair's not quite as long as I had planned
Five foot three isn't tall
She's not the girl I pictured at all
In those paint-by-numbers fantasies I've had
"Sir, Neutron is approximately three minutes away from leaving Earth's atmosphere. We have guards at every docking bay. They won't get through easily."
"For your sake, I hope you're right. It would be a shame for you to get spaced," the commander replied wryly.
"Don't worry, sir. I am."

Jimmy looked back at Cindy, sitting there innocently. She had no idea what was going on, and so she had nothing to worry about. Not that Cindy ever would worry, but still…
"So, why are we up here? And who are you?" her voice startled Jimmy from his wandering thoughts.
"My name's Jimmy, you're neighbor from across the street. We're going up in space to rescue our best friends from an evil alien empire," Jimmy responded coolly. He almost laughed at how calmly he could make such a dangerous mission sound.
So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I've been looking for
She's more
"Hold on tight, Cindy," Jimmy advised, fingering the turbo booster switch.
"Cindy? Is that my name?" Cindy asked, innocently.
"Yes, it is. Now get ready to clear the atmosphere!" Jimmy gritted his teeth and flipped the switch. The engine sputtered once- twice- and then stalled.

"Have you fixed the doors yet?" the commander asked.
"Not yet, sir. We still haven't found what's wrong with them, either."
Commander Magoo slammed his fist down on the counter and cursed. "Find the problem, now!"
"Yes, sir!" the Yolkian saluted before returning to his work.
No, it wasn't at first sight
But the moment I looked twice
I saw the girl I was born to love
Her laughter fills my soul
And when I hold her I don't wanna let go
When it comes to her I can't get enough
"Not now, not now!" Jimmy held his breath. But the engine started humming again, and accelerated out of the earth's atmosphere.
It was Jimmy's second time in space fighting the Yolkians. But this time, there were no sights to see. The silhouette of the Control Ship loomed ominously ahead. Suddenly, the ship rocked, throwing Jimmy back into his seat. He tried to maneuver the rocket away, but the tractor beam was too powerful. He was being pulled toward the Yolkian ship.
"W- what's wrong, Jimmy?" Cindy asked shakily.
Jimmy tried to remain calm. "We're expected."
So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more
More than I dreamed of
More than any boy deserves
I couldn't ask for more than a love like hers
"Cindy, tell me if you see a long, silver stick on the floor by your feet," Jimmy commanded. He kept his hands on the controls just in case.
"Yeah, there's one, but there's all this electricity on one end."
"Good. Use it when we dock. I have no idea how thick the force they're throwing at us is gonna be."
Cindy looked on uncertainly. "Why should I use it?"
"Because. I don't know if you remember, but you take martial arts, and you're faster and stronger than I am."
"Um, okay."
Together the two were pulled along in the dark recesses of space, on a mission to once again defeat a highly advanced alien race and save their town.
So it took me by complete surprise
When my heart got lost in those deep green eyes
She's not at all what I was looking for
She's more
And that concludes the chapter. I'm very sorry it took so long, but I've had a lot of work to do at school and at home. Please review, it really helps me get chapters out faster.
