- CHAPTER 1 - "Locked in the lab"
It had been weeks that 17-year-old Jimmy had locked himself in his lab. He didn't want to make contact with anyone in that period of time. Neither with his parents nor his supposedly called "friends". Just his mechanical dog Goddard around. Only Goddard, his sidekick, made him feel like he was in company.
Jimmy himself changed the combination of the lab door, so no one could pass. Carl and Sheen, his bests friends, wanted to talk to him all those days, but the only reply they heard was a "Go away!" or a "Leave me alone". The poor guys gave up coming to Jimmy's lab as the time passed.
"What do they care? They were there! They were laughing just like all the other people" Jimmy was saying in his thoughts, his anger grew.
He didn't want to go to school in that period too.
"What does it matter? I don't need school! I'm a genius! Well, I guess I'm a genius... ".
Everybody wanted to know what happened to the once named "genius". Because he wasn't now a "genius" only, all the guys in school turned to call him "coward genius".
Jimmy could remember what happened that could make him be like this. He didn't wanted to remember, but the memories flashed in his big head.
-- Flashback --
"I'm telling you, Neutron, this relationship is over!" said a sad Cindy, tears badly coming out of her eyes. "I'm tired of waiting you at the dates! You're always late! You're not here! I'm always alone!".
"W-what?!?" Jimmy was in shock. "No!" he thought, "She never would do a thing like this! I love her too much for deserve this from her! No, God, please no!!" he pleaded in his thoughts.
"B-but, Cindy, please! Wait! Let me explai--" said a shocked and desperated Jimmy.
"Save your words! This is over!".
As cindy said that, she ran out of the Candy Bar.
"Wait!" pleaded a still shocked Jimmy, running after her. "I'll change! I promess you I can change! Don't--".
Jimmy couldn't see her anywhere. Cindy dissapeared through a blinding fog.
Alone, Jimmy only wanted to go to his home. He jumped in his Hover Car and headed first to his lab. Carl and Sheen and also Libby where there.
"Hey, Jimmy!" greeted Sheen.
"Did you bring some ice-cream?" Carl asked.
The Hover Car ran out of gas, so Jimmy made a not-to-much-pleasant land on the floor.
"What happened to Cindy? Where is she?" Libby asked.
"We broke up..." Jimmy said, as his face turned to seriuos, then sad, mixed with anger. "She was mad at me. I couldn't stop her, she ran out of the Candy Bar. I think she's coming this way."
Except Jimmy, they all gasped.
"No... no, this can't be... why would she do that?" said a shocked Libby.
"She said that she was tired of waiting for me at dates and that I was always late. And I guess she's right." Tears dropped from Jimmy's face. He continued. "I've been doing so much things in my lab that the time passed like the wind. She's right. She gave up with me. She's tired of me. I made the relationship go badly over and over. And she left me. I feel guilty of course. Look, I'll be in my room, thinking, like always, but thinking on her. No more questions, please. Go away."
And with that, Jimmy walked in direction to his house. Sheen, Carl and Libby felt bad. They looked at each other and decided to follow Jimmy to try to confort him.
"I said go away!" said an angry Jimmy, shutting the door.
"Don't say that, Jim" said Carl.
"But Jimmy, we want--" said Sheen.
"I know you guys want to talk with me, but I'm not in the mood. We'll talk about this another day. Now go. And tell everyone that I'm going to miss some classes at school. Tell them I'm sick or something, ok?".
Libby was the first to leave. She crossed the street and went to Cindy's house to wait for her to arrive.
Sheen and Carl sat at the stairs of the door, probably waiting that Jimmy would in a moment open that door. But Jimmy was too hurted to do that. In fact, he felt like something heavy was not letting him walk easily through the stairs. His body was heavy. Too heavy. He suddenly fainted.
The faint sound came to the ears of Sheen and Carl. But they thought it was something else. After a few hours, they left.
Jimmy woke up, and the first thing he saw was his dad.
"Jimbo! What happened to you? Have you been drinking or something?" said Hugh as he tried to help his son to stood.
"No! You know I'm not drinking anymore of that shit!" shouted Jimmy.
Jimmy had in sometimes drinking problems. He was thinking too much in Cindy, the way he was hurting her with the ran of the days. But Cindy never noticed he had those problems. Of course she never noticed that, he was a genius. He invented a pill to remove all the drunk state, the future headaches in the morning. But there were sometimes he forgot to drink that pill, so he was returning to his home, drunk, stumbling when walking through the stairs. And those nights, his parents noticed that. Secretly, he had been going to "Alcoholic Help Problems in Retroville" after school. So Cindy was always asking him the next day and the next day why he was dissapearing. But from that questions, there was no reply.
"It's everything ok, honey?" said his mother, Judy. "You looked like you were drinking. And you fell on the stairs."
"No, I'm not ok... I got bad news, but I'm not in the mood to discuss this right now. What time is it?"
"It's 11 PM, son" answered his father, looking at his watch. "Oh, and that reminds me, it's time for 'Duck in the shower' program".
"Well, good night, then!" said Jimmy. And with that, he went upstairs.
Goddard was in his room.
"Bark! Bark!"
"Hey, boy! Here, take it" said Jimmy as he gave Goddard an empty Purple Flurp can.
While eating the can, Goddard showed through his metallic eyes a little worried.
"WHAT HAPPENED?" showed Goddard on screen.
"Cindy and I broke up..." said Jimmy, remembering what happened and a tear went down his cheeks and falled to the floor.
Without being asked, Goddard showed options.
"APOLOGIZE TO CINDY. SHE MIGHT GIVE YOU ONE MORE CHANCE".
"No, Goddard, she gave up with me".
"FIND ANOTHER GIRL"
"It isn't easy. Betty moved from Retroville to another city. And the only person I want is Cindy."
"MOVE TO ANOTHER TOWN, YOU'RE A GROWN UP. SHE'LL MISS YOU".
"That would be the last thing I could do".
GOddard surprisingly showed a fourth option.
"TRY TO GIVE CINDY SOMETHING THAT ANYONE CAN'T GIVE TO HER"
"Like what? I don't know what I can give to her, the only thing I gave to her was pain and suffer and nothing more like that."
