The next day Cindy got up bright and early. She wanted to look especially nice. Her outfit that she had laid out the night before was a pink knee length skirt, a white tank top, a pink zip up sweater, and white flip flops. When she was finally ready, she went down stairs, told her parents good bye, and walked across the street. She was just in time.

"Hey Cindy!" Judy greeted when she saw Cindy walk up the drive way.

"Good morning Mrs Neutron. Jimmy asked me to ride to school with him."

"Oh yes, that's right. He should be coming out of the lab any minute." A loud bang was heard. "Excuse me. James Isaac Neutron!" She called as she walked around the house. "I thought I told you to be careful! You know you can't do some of the things you used to do!" Her voice began to sound faded.

"But mom! I'm fine! See, I'm safely seated in this darn wheel chair." Jimmy's voice, a little faded as well, was heard. "I'm fine, argh!" It sounded as Jimmy's mom was being a little over protective about the whole situation. They both rounded the corner. Well, Jimmy kinda ran into the side of the house, but quickly reversed and came around. "Stupid thing is so hard to control." He muttered and looked up. "Cindy! I wasn't expecting you so soon!"

"Yeah, well, it wasn't very exciting at my house."

"I see. Well, we're about to load up. Actually, load me up. It takes forever to get me into that stupid thing." Jimmy stated, referring to the hoist that lifts him into the van.

"I bet. It looks really complicated."

"Yeah, it is." After he was all strapped in, Cindy got in and Judy drove them to school.

When they got there, mostly everybody was inside the building, except for a few, who were smoking near the parking lot. "That's bad for your health!" Jimmy shouted through the car window. Good thing they didn't hear him. "I swear, kids these days. What goes through their heads?!" Cindy shrugged and hopped out of the car. To bad it wasn't as easy for Jimmy. After he had finally got out, and after some arguing between his mom, they headed up to the school.

And all went silent. No one spoke as they walked, or rolled, through the halls. The halls have never been this quiet. "Sheen broke this silence, however, since he had no clue of what was going on. "Hey everyone! Look at my Ultra Lord jacket!" All eyes turned towards Sheen. "What?" He glanced around several of his classmates, when his eyes stopped on his best friend. "Jimmy? Man, WHAT are you doing in a wheel chair?"

Jimmy hesitated answering him. "I'll tell you later." He whispered.

"Ok everyone! Nothing to see here! Go back to what you were doing!" Cindy instructed the students, who did so.

"Now, why are you in a wheel chair?"

"Sheen, brace yourself. I'm.... paralyzed in the lower half of my legs."

Sheen froze. "No, not possible. I... I can't believe this."

"Yes, it's true. But..." Jimmy stopped as Sheen hugged him.

Right then and there, Cindy knew things would never be the same. Her grandma was gone, and she could never talk to her anymore. But, she would always have Jimmy, even though he was paralyzed. She knew he would always be there for her. Then, something came over her.

"I love you Grandma Vortex." She whispered softly and walked to Jimmy. Libby and Carl had just joined, and obviously heard the news. Carl was crying. Suddenly, Cindy heard a voice.

"I love you too child."

A/N: The End! Please review! Man, I finally got a story done with out quitting half way through. I know Cindy AND Jimmy are both out of character. That would be my bad. Trust me, my next story will be much, MUCH better! See ya later!
