Jimmy sat with his head in his hands, and his hands, in turn, on his lap. "What did I do that was so bad I deserve this, boy?" He asked, patting Goddard gently. Goddard barked softly, and shook his head.
"Even a genius could never figure out the feminine brain. Not even when I switched bodies with--Wait a minute! Goddard, what do girls often respond to, when they're searching for a guy, that is?" He asked. Goddard's screen popped open.
"Charm and accepting of the way they are?" GTV suggested.
"Not even close, boy. Girls want guys that are already taken!" Jimmy said, his eyes lighting up manically. Goddard, sensing the problem with Jimmy's plan, reached out a mechanical arm and slapped Jimmy with it. "Thanks boy, I needed that. You're right, it was a stupid plan. I just need to find out what it is exactly that Betty wants. But how can I find that out?" Jimmy paced his bedroom floor, desperately trying to figure how he could do to make himself more desirable.
"Girls....Nick....Of course! Cindy..she could help! And sense we signed that treaty, we're supposed to be friends! I'm sure she'll help!" Jimmy grabbed the phone and dialed. So quickly he didn't even notice Goddard's screen flashing the time Jimmy had first signed the treaty. Were he and Cindy were only a quarter of an inch apart from kissing.
"Cindy?"
"Neutron? Why are you calling at 10:30 at night? Most people are trying to sleep!" She chided.
"I know it's a school night Cindy, but I need a favor!" He pleaded. Cindy hated when he used that tone of voice. He always sounded helpless, and even though Cindy knew better than that, she fell for it everytime. What could she say? She loved the guy. Cindy patiently listened to Jimmy's plans.
"All right, Jimmy, I'll do it." She promised.
"When?"
"Tomorrow at school. And Neutron?"
"Yes?"
"Get some sleep, I'm worried about you!"
"Ok, fine. Bye." But Jimmy was far too excited to commit to his promise. How could he sleep? He was going to become Betty's dream after Cindy had gathered the information.
Across the street though, a less than happy girl stared at the phone in her hand, the dial tone still going off. She sighed, and lowered her pretty emerald-green eyes. Someday, she'd tell him. But when you felt this way about someone, you'd do anything for them. Even get them together with another girl.
[Next day at school]
"Can I talk to you, Betty?" Cindy asked, trying to keep her voice civil.
"All right." Betty sighed. It was lunchtime, and she had just gotten her diet Flurp out of the machine. She followed Cindy out to the hall, as she had done with Jimmy just yesterday. "What is it, Cindy?"
"About Jimmy..he really likes you. Can't you please just give him a chance?" Cindy practically begged. Usually she would never degrade herself, but for Jimmy, she'd do just about anything.
"I don't understand, Cindy. You're the one that likes him, and yet you're trying to hook me up with him!" Betty shook her head. This didn't make sense to her.
"What I feel about Jimmy, I'll deal with. Please, just one date with him? Please?" Cindy asked. Betty rolled her eyes, but nodded.
"But you're coming too!"
"What? But..but how? Do you want me to just follow you and Jimmy around or something?" Cindy asked.
"No. Get yourself a date. Doesn't matter who, just bring some random guy with you. Double dating, ever heard of it?" Betty asked sarcastically.
"Fine. But if you hurt Jimmy anymore than you already have, you and I are going to have a problem, Quinlan. Get it?"
"Got it."
"Good." Cindy walked away to tell Jimmy the 'good' news. Betty stood there for a second, smiling devilishly to herself. Betty was about to put her own twist on Cindy's little plan. And she was confident it wouldn't fail.
