"I'm Sorry, I have like no idea who you are." Cindy said looking at Sara; something about her just wasn't quit right. She stuttered kind of like Cindy did when asked if she liked Jimmy, as if she were hiding something.
"Umm, I'd love to show you around but Shelby is at the Candy Bar, and uh… I'm kind of trying to talk to Cindy. 'First it was Nick when we were in space, then Betty at my party, then Nick again, then nervousness, then Shelby, and now this Sara girl.' Jimmy thought bitterly. So I guess I'll see you around?" Jimmy said slightly annoyed that just as he was about to confess, once again someone had interrupted him
"Sorry to bother you, I'll go find Shelby."
Inside her ear where the Yokians had placed a microphone thingy she could hear King Ooblar, King Goobot was killed on his way back to Yokeus, say "Meet Cindy later so that we can have a little chit-chat."
"Um… Cindy? Can we get together later at the old abandoned movie theater?"
"I guess."
"Cool, see ya then." 'She seems so nice, why should I do that to her?' Sara thought. The Yokians had inserted a brain wave reader in her head as well so they knew what she was thinking.
"Because," King Ooblar said, "Jimmy loves her and if we get her we get him, got it? Remember this is the person who killed Goobot." With that Sara walked off to find Shelby, they had a score to settle.
"Anyways two days ago when the Yokians had tried to take over they used you to figure out how to get into my lab."
"Why would they do that, I don't know how to get into your lab?"
"Uh… you kind of tricked Carl and Sheen to tell you how to get in."
"So why don't I remember that?"
"Well…uh…" 'Why can I never just say a sentence when it comes to telling her how I feel?' "See, after the Yokians left the town had a picnic and well, I had to erase your memory so you wouldn't know how to get into my lab?"
"And that has anything to do with us liking each other how?"
"Um… well… when I had the memory eraser on you I kind of took the opportunity and danced hand-in-hand with you, even though you were virtually zonked out well just touching your skin…" He didn't know if he could go on. 'Why can't I ever just say what I want to?" "Um… just touching your skin made me feel, complete. Like there was no longer emptiness inside me that there was when you teased me. After that you were still zonked out so I walked you home and when we got there you were starting to respond, however I could still tell you were clearly still pretty out of it, we sat down on your swing like we are doing now and just talked, no teasing or nothing. But when I realized you were starting to become more and more aware of what was happening I said good-bye and well…. basically we shared a 30 second kiss that will last me a lifetime." Once Jimmy finally got the erg to say that they sat quietly on Cindy's swinging chair swinging back and forth to the rhythm of Open Your Eyes from the Lizzie McGuire Soundtrack
"You've been searching the world to find true love
Looking in all the wrong places
When all the time you've been blind to love
It's plain as a nose on your faces
It's here, it's now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
You've been down on yourself
Thinking something's wrong
Wonder why love's never found you
Don't you know it's been right here all along
If only you look around you
It's here, it's now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
Love has been right by your side
So close that you couldn't see
If love could speak
He will shout to the sky
I've always been here
I always will be
I'm here, I'm now
Open your eyes and see it
Right here, right now
Open your eyes to love
Open your eyes to love
Open your heart to love."
"I guess it really has always been there, hasn't it?" Cindy said at last when the song had switched to Sadie Hawkins by Reliant K. "Wait… that is too creepy, who's playing these songs?" Cindy turned around and realized it me back there behind them. I motioned them to continue what they were doing and used Jimmy's time-warp machine and turned back time a couple of seconds so that Open Your Eyes was just ending. Since Cindy already knew who was there she continued how she should have. "I guess it really has always been there, hasn't it?" Cindy repeated.
"I guess so, I guess we have just ignored it, even if it was screaming in our faces."
"Like in space?" Cindy suggested remembering how she could clearly tell it was love in Jimmy's eyes for one millisecond in time.
"And when accidentally made us switch bodies?"
They both laughed and then a thought crossed Cindy's mind. "You didn't like… change clothes or take a bath or anything did you?" She said scared of what the answer would be, if he did take a bath then he had seen her naked, if he didn't then her body went a whole 2 days without being cleaned.
"Um… I kind of had to take a bath, but I swear I did not see anything." Jimmy remembered turning off all the lights and stumbling around in an unfamiliar territory, her mom had actually unlocked the door and asked what on earth her 'daughter' was doing. He had told her that someone at school had dared her to go a whole day without looking at herself. Her mother laughed and told 'Cindy' not to hurt herself. Then a similar thought crossed Jimmy's head. "You didn't do any of that stuff did you?"
"Relax, I'm a girl, we are not perverted like you guys are! (Sorry guys) Yes, I did take a shower but it only lasted like 3 minutes, and I swear nothing crossed my mind."
Jimmy sighed with relief, wait, did she just say guys were perverted… 'Oh well, that's Cindy for ya.' Jimmy thought. They spent the next hour or so reflecting on the past. When they finally reached the time that Jimmy had a party while his parents were out Cindy confessed that she had gotten jealous of Betty. "Well then, looks like I owe someone a dance… that she'll remember. That is…" Jimmy was so afraid that even though it was clear she liked him she would say no, "if, you want a dance."
"Jimmy, I thought you were a genius, were you like zoning off for the last two hours? Of coarse I would love to dance with you, in fact nothing could possible make me happier." 'Ok so not exactly nothing but surely he got the point.'
Jimmy turned around to face me and told me to put on God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You by N'SYNC. I did as Jimmy told me and put it in while he got up and took Cindy's hand and lead her to the middle of the yard where it was pitch black besides the full moon and stars that shown down brightly on the couple. (Don't ask me why but though out the entire city streetlights, car lights, house lights, every form of lighting had been turned out.) After the dance Jimmy kissed Cindy and to his surprise she didn't pull back, in fact after they both sat done again she was the one that started kissing him. (Ok again a weird thing happened and the only artificial light on was the floodlight in front of Cindy's house that was directly above them, however no the parents were not spying.) Jimmy undid Cindy's hair and they again started to talk, namely because Cindy didn't want her hair down.
"Why not, it looks better."
"Cause, it feels weird."
"For me?" Jimmy could not believe he ad used that excuse.
"For tonight I guess."
"Thanks." Jimmy said and kissed her lightly on the cheek, Cindy just beamed thrilled to finally be able to say that she had kissed Jimmy. Just that second Libby chose to come running down the street because Cindy had forgotten about their movie night.
