Hey everyone, and thanks for the reviews!

EL CHUPACABRA: I know, I didn't exactly enjoy having Jimmy die, but he's not gonna stay that way for long, and it makes great drama for the story!!!!

Thank you to everyone else who reviewed, I just don't have that much time to type all your names. Homework. It sucks.

Disclaimer:Me no own Jimmy!

Robot Dogs Can Be A Girl's Best Friend

I slammed my locker shut and walked out of the building. It was still raining. I was already soaked, so I was freezing. It's times like these when I really wish I would've drove my car to school. And that I wouldn't have missed the bus. When I got to Jimmy's lab, I wasn't suprised to find Sheen and Libby there, when I told them to meet me at 5. I also wasn't suprised to see Libby and Sheen making out in the bushes next to the entrance.

"AHEM!!!!!" I fake coughed a little loud. Libby froze.

"What's the matter baby?" He turned and saw me, then screamed in a high pitched voice, almost too high pitched for a boy.

They started slowly getting up, as I sported a suspicious smile. They probably would have kept going and maybe even gone farther if I wouldn't have busted them.

"So, uh, are we going to Egypt Cindy?" Sheen asked, still blushing from what just happened.

"If you mean we, as in, Goddard and I, then yep." I said, as Sheen handed me one of Jimmy's hairs, that I had asked him to get.

"But. But, Cindy. I wanna go back to Egypt and have a beach party again!" He whined.

"No, Sheen. Cindy needs time to collect her thoughts." She smiled at me and I mouthed the words thank you.

"But what about the mummies?" Sheen asked in that same whiny tone.

"What about them? They were commanded by their 'queen' to sleep for ten trillion years." I said, as I grabbed the keys to the hovercar off of the rack next to his computer. I called for Goddard.

He came bounding into the room, only to find that his master wasn't there. I'm sure he knew he was dead, but he was probably programmed that way. To wait for Jimmy to get home from school. He walked over to me, and patted his metal head. He trusted me coming into Jimmy's lab because, when I had helped Jimmy rebuild him, I had been here for about a month. I walked out the door, which slammed shut after Goddard had come out. Libby was standing there, but Sheen was nowhere to be found.

"Libby, where'd Sheen go?" I asked.

"To the Candy Bar. He said he needed to 'collect his thoughts' too." She said with sarcasm. "Well, I'd better let you go so we can bring Jimmy back sooner."

"Alright." We waved our good-byes.

I walked around the front of their house to the Neutron's garage. I pressed a button and the garage door started going up. Once it had, Goddard led me to a big, bulky figure with a sheet over it. He unveiled it with his mouth and jumped in, me following suit. I put the key in the ignition and pressed a blue button that said start. It lifted off the ground and hovered right out the door.

I gained altitude as we left our tiny town of Retroville in the dust. I put it in auto pilot and leaned back. Goddard barked at me.

"Hey boy. What do you want?" I asked.

The screen on his chest appeared and on it, it said, "You want to talk about Jimmy."

"No, not really. I-" I saw him staring at me. "Oh, ok. But only because you were the closest person-or dog, in your case, to him. He confided in you most, isn't that right?"

He nodded, then said, "He told me a lot about you."

"Like, what did he say?"

"He said that he dreams about walking down a country lane with you, holding your hand and kissing."

"Aha! So it was his brain!" Goddard gave me a disapproving growl, and I said, "What else did he think?"

"He told me that you were the smartest goth girl he's ever seen."

"Really?!?! Well, that's a real confidence booster. He said I'm a goth girl?"

"Well, actually he said that you were the hottest, most sexy goth girl he's ever seen. And that's a quote."

"Oooooooooookay.You've got an almost human like personality. You know that?"

"Yes. When Jimmy built me, he installed a personality device and gave me quite a few personalities."

"Just like Jimmy to think of something like that."

"He really liked you, you know?" Goddard's metallically flat voice came from beside me.

"I guess I kinda knew that all along, I just enjoyed being 'secretly' liked."

"Yes. He knew that you liked him, too. He told me that also."

"You know, you're cooler than I thought, and I thought you were pretty cool to begin with."

"Thank you."

"Do you get fed now that Jimmy's...gone?"

"No. But since I'm a robotic dog I don't need to rely on unnessesary needs like foods."

"Oh. Well, I was gonna see if you wanted me to feed you, and maybe spend some time with you. Since you stay all cooped up and lonely in that lab."

"A little company would be nice for a change." His screen popped back down as I realized we were nearing Egypt.

I turned the auto pilot off and took control of the wheel. Somehow, I could almost drive it perfectly. I had never driven it before, but it must've been because I watched Jimmy all the time. And the fact that the controls were, well, pretty simple. We landed and Goddard jumped out, wagging his tail and running towards the gigantic tomb of the ancient queen. I pushed open the door and walked inside. It was very dark. Goddard's tail got long and out of the tip appeared a flashlight. It placed itself in between his eyes, and suddenly the tomb was illuminated. I walked forward for about five minutes. Then, my foot hit something hollow. I realized it was a door and opened it. There was the sarcouphagus (sp?) of Queen Howsaboutislapya. And next to it sat the invention that would bring Jimmy back. I picked it up, dusted it off(for it had dust and spiderwebs all over it from sitting there for however many years it had), and started to walk back out the door when it suddenly got very cold. So cold, in fact that I shivered in my hoodie.

Then I thought I heard someone calling my name. It was really creepy, like one of those horror movies that you watch right before you go to bed and have nightmares about. I followed the voice. No, the better words were, it was calling me, beckoning me to come with it. I must've went through six different chambers when I came to one where the voice was really loud. Louder than what it had been before. I fell with a thud to the floor and went unconcious.

I heard his voice calling me.

"Cindy?" He walked up to me. We were in the same room that I had been in just seconds before.

"Jimmy? Jimmy!" I jumped up to hug him, but just grasped the air behind him. "Wha-?"

"I'm a ghost, Cin, what did you expect?" He kinda laughed then realized that nothing that had been said was funny and stopped.

"How are you contacting me?" My voice sounded so excited, it made me want to throw up.

"Oh, you learn a lot of things when you die." He looked into my eyes. "You know, I never thought that you would go though all this to bring me back to life."

"Well, as you've told Goddard, you always knew that I liked you, so..."

"I really should've told him to keep his metallic mouth shut!" He put his head in his hands. "You know it won't work."

"What?"

"My invention. It won't work, it's been sitting in here too long." He gestured to the room around us with his arms.

"I think I can fix it." I suggested hopefully.

"How? You don't have the right parts, or anything."

"Well...what if there's nothing wrong with it anyways? I mean, this was one of your inventions that actually worked." He smiled.

"Actually worked? I never thought I'd hear that come out of Cindy Marie Vortex's mouth!" He snickered.

"Hey, how'd you know my middle name?"

"I just asked the big guy upstairs. He said it wasn't too valueable a piece of information to tell, so..."

Silence. Then, "Do you like it better? You know, being...dead and all?"

He kinda blushed, then said, "Well, people don't make fun of me up here, but...I like having my friends around me. It makes me feel warm, especially right now..."

We stared at each other. I wished that I could kiss him, so bad. It wasn't fair that I couldn't.

"Well, all I know is, I...miss you...so much..." I started sobbing.

"It's ok, Cin. I'll always be there for you now. Guess what?" He looked at me excitedly.

"What?" I said, wiping my nose on my sleeve.

"I was just appointed to be your guardian angel!" He smiled. I smiled back.

"Really?!?! That's so cool!!!!" Then I remembered that he wasn't alive. "But, no offense, I liked it better when I could..." I looked at my hands, then put my head in them.

"When you could what?" He suddenly got serious.

"When I could...when I could touch you, Jimmy. When I could make sure that you were real, to make sure you were there for me..." I broke off. Now, Jimmy looked as though he was going to cry.

"I had a dream today." I said after five minutes silence.

"About what?"

I continued to tell him about my dream. He nodded and sighed at certain points.

When I was finished, he said,"You were the one that died in the dream? That could mean something."

I started getting pulled away from him.

"Jimmy? What's happening?" I asked as it increased.

"You're waking up. I'll always be there for you, just look over your shoulder..."

"Bye. I...I love you." I called.

"I love you, too"

Then I woke up in a cold sweat with Goddard hovering above me. He licked my face when he saw that I was concious.

"Goddard, I think everyone will be closer to Jimmy than we thought." And with this happy thought in my head, along with finding that invention(I could never remember all the names of them), I walked with Goddard out to the waiting hovercar.

So, how was that? Sorry if it's not as good as the other ones, I was having writer's block, like, really bad. And sorry if Goddard's human personality was too human, but I always thought that if he did have a conversation with Cindy, that he would tell her that Jimmy likes her.
