- CHAPTER 7 - "Leaving"

Jimmy got out of his lab, and went to the back door of his house, followed by Goddard.

Her mother, Judy, was in the kitchen and preparing the dinner. She was putting on some plates on the table. But when she saw Jimmy, she left a plate fell to the floor. A minor crash was heard as the tears went down from Judy's face. She couldn't believe her eyes.

"Jimmy! Oh, son! I'm so glad to see you again!" said Judy as she ran to Jimmy and gave him a hug. "Where did you go? I was so worried! You didn't tell me anything!"

"Mom, I made a decision. And it's final. I'm leaving." said Jimmy with a sad face mixed with anger.

"w-what?!?". Judy now couldn't believe her ears, as the tears didn't stopped.

"You heard it. I'm leaving from Retroville" Jimmy said as he walked in direction to the living room.

"You can't leave!" Judy yelled. "You're not even 18! You're too young!".

"That's only a excuse. And for your information, I'm 18 now. My birthday were the last sunday!" Jimmy said.

Judy was in shock. She then checked the calendar and looked for Jimmy's birthday. He was right. Of course, he was a genius.

"And where are you going?" Judy asked.

"I'm not really sure. I just came here to pack my things." said Jimmy, as he walked off.

Unaware of what was happening in the kitchen, Hugh was sitting on the couch, drinking a Purple Flurp and watching Omni-Pulp 2. Then he saw Jimmy, because he was blocking the TV.

"Hey, Jimbo! Boy, you look bad... errr... could you please step aside, so I can watch the TV?" Hugh asked.

"Sure..." said Jimmy as he took a deep breath. "Dumbass! Idiot! Careless butthead!" he then said in mumbles, as he ran up the stairs, always followed by Goddard.

But Hugh was too ocuppied in his TV show that he didn't heard all that words.

"Hugh! Our son is leaving us!" yelled Judy running out of the kitchen.

"Yeah, that's great, honey!" said Hugh, more interested on the TV. "Could you please put me more popcorn?" he said, as he gave the plate to Judy.

Judy was so shocked, that she became angry. She couldn't believe what his husband was saying. She thought that he didn't care. So she smashed the plate in his head.

"W-With extra-cheese!" Hugh said, and then he fainted.

Judy took a deep breath and then, she ran up the stairs. She went to Jimmy's bedroom. But for her surprise, Jimmy wasn't there anymore. And his hole room was empty. Even the bathroom dissapeared.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a rocket.

She reached the house door just in time as she watched the rocket. Jimmy was in the rocket with Goddard. He left.

The desperation came into Judy. She fell to her knees and started to cry louder. So louder than the neighbors rushed to her. The Wheezer's, the Vortex's, the Estevez's, the Folfax's, all of them were in front of Judy. Sheen, Carl, Libby and Cindy weren't there, because they were at the Candy Bar.

They all saw Judy crying. And Mr. Wheezer asked first.

"What happened, Mrs. Neutron?".

"My son is gone! He left the house!" said Judy, as she curled herself on a ball and more tears came from her face like waterfalls.

They all gasped.

"Jimmy Neutron left? I can't believe it!" said Mrs. Estevez.

"Me neither!" said Mr. Vortex.

"Poor Judy!" said Mr. Estevez.

"Poor Mrs. Nerdtron!" said Mrs. Vortex.

They all stared at her, but then, they continued.

"Poor Judy!" said Mr. Folfax.

"I can't believe such thing!" said Mrs. Wheezer.

The discussion were more and more louder. Just in time, Hugh woke up. A bump was visibly on his head.

"AW! My head! What happened?" he said, as he stood up. "Oh, the TV!". He saw the TV for seconds and then he paused. "Wait! I can't hear anything with all that noise!".

He then went to the house door.

"Ok, ok, where's the fire?" he said.

They all pointed to Judy.

"Sugarbooger!!!" Hugh said as he rushed to help her. "What happened! Tell me! Are you ok?".

"My son is gone! He left the house!" Judy said, repeating what she said before, shocked and sobbing.

Hugh looked at her and then he looked at his neighbors. He finally realized.

"No! No! This can't be! My Jimbo is gone? He left? Oh, my god!". Hugh then started to cry.

Sheen and Carl came at the scene.

"Hey, Carl, look! Something happened in Jimmy's house! My parents are there!" Sheen said, pointing to the crowd.

"My parents are there, too! Mom! Dad! What happened?" Carl said, running and greeting to his parents.
