chapter seven- well here goes

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jimmy was in his lab, as usual. Cindy had left, so he was alone again. It had surprised him that they would be working together, but he would much rather work with her than Brittany.

As Jimmy switched off his inventions one at a time, and was ready to return to his room for the night when the light below his screen started flashing.

"Must be a message, but from who?" he asked himself aloud.

Jimmy ran to his chair, and sat down, hitting the 'read' button at the same time.

Jimmy had expected something small such as a new email. He had expected something that he would read and then go back to his room for a good night's sleep. What he hadn't expected was King Goobot's face to show up on the screen.

Jimmy sat at his control's, wide eyed as he listened to Goobot's message.

"Uh, hi. I know that this must seem a little strange, since were swarn enemies and everything, but you see, I have a problem."

"You've got to be kidding."

"No, actually, I'm quite serious. You see, a laser was shot yesterday at the fiercest planet in the universe, because of my idiot brother, Ooblar. It was an accident of course, but the planet has now declared war on us."

"Yeah, so. What does that have to do with me?" asked Jimmy, still not believing that he was talking humanely to his worst enemy.

"Well, as much as I hate to do this, I would like to request your help, Neutron, in ending this feud between the Yolkians and the others."

"Why should I help you?" asked Jimmy.

"Well, because, if you don't, I will declare war on your planet, and believe me, we will win that war, but I'm not so sure about the other one, so what is your answer." asked Goobot.

Jimmy sighed and thought about his options. He could either help his worst enemy, or have an intergallactic war waged on the whole planet. Somehow Jimmy already knew the answer.

"You leave me no choice, Goobot. But, how am I supposed to stop this planet from trying to annhialate you?"

"Easy, you just travel to the planet and speak to the Queen. For some reason, she has a soft spot for you humans, and she just might listen to you. Her husdband would normally be in charge, but he is away on vacation. So all you have to do is talk to her, and my planet will be saved."

"Okay, Goobot, you have yourself a deal. But on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You have to swear never to bother my planet again."

"You drive a hard bargain, Neutron, but I agree." said Goobot.

"So what is this planet called?' asked Jimmy.

"Planet Gorlock."

Jimmy's eyes grew wide.

"And you will be convincing Queen April not to wage war on my planet."

"Queen April?" asked Jimmy, wondering if what he was thinking was true.

"Yes, Queen April. Actually her true name is Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaapoit, but is commonly known as April because it is much easier to say. She hasn't been queen for that long, but she demands respect, and will destroy anyone who does not give it to her."

Jimmy's thoughts were confirmed. He was going to have to convince April, an alien girl who had met months earlier, who had kissed him twice, who he had liked alot, and who had caused the fight between him and Cindy. He would have to convince her not to fight the Yolkians, his mortal enemies.

Somehow, Jimmy's day had just gotten worse.
