chapter 16

-

Jimmy was asleep in his room when he heard a knock on the door. Jimmy flicked on the light, being careful not to wake Sheen and Carl. He hoped that it was April with news of her decision, instead after opening the door, he came face to face with Cindy.

"What's up, Cindy?" asked Jimmy.

"Um, do you think that we could talk?" asked Cindy.

"Sure" said Jimmy uncertainly "Do you have news about April's decision." asked Jimmy.

"No, but I did talk to her." said Cindy.

"Really, about what." asked Jimmy.

"Well, she wanted to talk about her decision, and your name came up."

"Really?" asked Jimmy.

"Yeah, she decided to make a deal." said Cindy.

"What kind of a deal? and what does it have to do with me." asked Jimmy.

"Okay, Jimmy , here's the thing. She said that she would leave the Yolkians alone." said Cindy.

"That's great!"

"Wait, before you celebrate, you should hear the rest." said Cindy.

"What else is there."

"April needs an advisor. She said that she's been looking for someone who was smart and a good judge of character, so that's how your name came into it." said Cindy.

"I can give advice. I could set up a transmission from her planet to earth, so we could communicate..."

"Sorry, that won't work. The thing is, she wants you to move here, and be her advisor." said Cindy.

"What! I can't do that, I mean, I can't just pick up and leave. I haven't even finished school. And I'd miss my parents and friends, and other things..." jimmy added.

"I know what you mean, but there's one problem with your plan."

"What is it?" asked Jimmy.

"she said if we didn't help her, she would lead an attack on the Earth." said Cindy.

"What? She can't do that! She wouldn't do that. would she?" said Jimmy.

"I don't know, Neutron she seemed pretty serious." said Cindy.

"Let me talk to her, and then we'll se what happened." said Jimmy.

A few moments later, Jimmy and April were seated in a room.

"So, I get Cindy told you about our deal." said April.

"Yes, she did, and I'm sorry, but that's not going to work."said Jimmy.

"Really? Why not?" asked April.

"Because, Earth is where i live. What about school, my parents, and friends, Goddard, for that matter." said Jimmy.

"Cindy?" added April hopefully.

"Yeah, and Cindy." said Jimmy.
