CHAPTER 9:

Jimmy, Sheen and Carl stayed at Jimmy's until way past 11pm that night talking about the prank laughing and joking until Mrs. Neutron ushered them out saying that Jimmy had to go to bed. (which he didn't)

But when eventually Judy made Jimmy go up to his bedroom, Jimmy lay awake still thinking about the look of pure horror on Cindy's face as he had revealed each member of his gang before her eyes. He grinned to himself every few minutes and drifted off to sleep thinking about how much the school would laugh when they found out.

The next day was Thursday. It dawned bright and sunny. Cindy cursed the weather. She wanted to be raining and grey to match her crap mood. No doubt the whole school would know about yesterday afternoon by break time. She had seriously considered bunking off school today just stay away from the sheer humiliation of Jimmy and his bloody gang today.

Jimmy was setting off for school early that day and he met Sheen and Carl (as usual) on the way.

"Hey Jim! Got the tape!" Sheen said enthusiastically. Jimmy smiled.

"Would I ever forget it," he said producing a tape from his pocket and flicking up in the air. Carl and Sheen watched grinning.

"Cindy is gonna be sorry she ever heard the name Jimmy Neutron!" Sheen said smiling even more.

"Would you like to do the honours" Jimmy said. Giving Sheen a bag full of tapes all with the same recording on.

"Wow Jimmy! There must be about 100 tapes here." Carl said in awe.

"Yup! And there's another 200 back at my house for the rest of the week," Jimmy said looking more and more triumphant. They all cracked up laughing.

When they got to school Sheen and Carl set up a small table out side their lockers and put the tapes in piles. They stuck a sign on the front say free samples. They weren't about out make money out of this.

Jimmy preferred to stay out of the actual work watching as Sheen set a tape player so the students could listen to the tape as they passed in the corridor before getting one for themselves.

When the first people started trailing into school Jimmy stood nearby leaning against his locker, as Carl and Sheen got them all gathered around laughing hysterically. By 8:45 there was a large crowd collected around the table almost doubled up in laughing fits.

Cindy arrived just as the bell had rung for first class of the day. She shot Jimmy a disgusted look and marched past. Libby followed quickly behind her.

"You make me sick!" she said irritably. Jimmy smiled.

"Me!" he said in fake surprise. "I'm not doing anything." He said.

"Bastard," Libby muttered under her breath just loud enough for Jimmy to hear. He smiled and would have made another snide comment but she was running after Cindy. Jimmy gathered his books from his locker and went into his first lesson.

The rest of day passed pretty much the same. By morning break all the tapes were gone but large crowds still gathered around to listen to the tape player or hear Sheen and Carl tell them the story over and over.

Jimmy always watched from nearby. This way he could see not just who wanted one but also the people who were on Cindy's side and were shooting Sheen, Carl and himself disgusted looks. He could also so Libby sitting with Cindy trying to comfort her as she sobbed pitifully.

That afternoon when the bell rang for end of school Jimmy went home alone. Sheen and Carl were busy clearing up the mini stall. All in all he thought the day had gone very well. He given Cindy the most humiliating day of her life and his tapes had gone within the first half of the day and most of the school had come up to congratulate Jimmy on his amazingly funny prank. Yes he'd done a good job, he walked into his house feeling happy with himself.

His metallic pup was ready to greet Jimmy when he went down to his lab that morning. Jimmy couldn't help but gloat to Goddard about the joke of yesterday and today.

When Jimmy got to the end of his tale Goddard just sat staring up at Jimmy. This wasn't normal, Goddard would normally wag his tale and say something like 'good one Jimmy.'

"What's up Goddard?" Jimmy asked, confused. Goddard looked up at Jimmy and something appeared on his screen.

"You've gone too far this time." It Goddard said in a slightly angry voice.

"Oh come on, it was just a bit of fun!" replied Jimmy.

"How would you like it!" Goddard said, his robotic voice becoming louder.

"Are you saying it wasn't funny, come on Goddard, what was I supposed to do, say sorry 'Cindy I don't love you' and walk away." Jimmy said like it was the stupidest thing he'd ever heard. Goddard just looked at Jimmy angrily.

"Don't you ever think about anything but your own popularity." Goddard said.

"Oh come on Goddard, you're normally backing me up with this sorta stuff." Jimmy said disbelievingly.

"Well don't you ever think you're a going a bit over the top, why don't you just back off a bit,". He said. Jimmy's disbelieving look turned angry and he looked like he wanted to kick Goddard.

"I dunno what's wrong with you!" Jimmy yelled. "Get out of room!" he shouted. Goddard turned and walked away. Jimmy spent the rest of the afternoon in his room thinking about how angry he was at Goddard.

He went to bed in a bad mood thinking about what Goddard had said. He thought everything over in his mind. He remembered Cindy's first day back at school without the popularity she had left behind. The first jokes and pranks. All the getting his own back he'd done.

Then his memory skipped forward to the past few weeks. The torture Jimmy had put Cindy through, that final joke at the back. The last glimmer of hope she'd had. Gone in an instant. Suddenly this didn't seem so funny. He couldn't lie there and laugh at all the pure evil stuff he'd done to her.

It pained Jimmy to think how much he'd hurt Cindy unnecessarily. He wished he could turn back the clock. Say sorry, leave Cindy alone, did he need to hurt Cindy to be popular..........no the real truth. He'd been a cruel hearted person, he should be ashamed, there was only one thing he could do. Make it up to Cindy.

He heard his door creak open, and a small weight at the end of his bed.

"I'm so sorry Goddard, you were right, I did go too far. I'm gonna make it up to you and Cindy, I promise." Jimmy said softly. His robotic dog licked his face and curled up next to him.
