They had arrived. Cindy and tara were standing in Cindy's room wating for her parents to get home from the grocery store. An awkward silence filled the house, because the girls had nothing to say to each other. They waited for about five minutes, but to them it felt like an eternity. Finally, Cindy spoke.
"So, do you have any questions about Earth so far?" she asked.
"Not really..." replied Tara.
"Well, do you want to put your stuff away?"
"I didn't bring much, just one bag, so I won't have to unpack" said Tara.
"Well then, what do you want to do while my parents are gone?" asked Cindy.
"Didn't you tell Jimmy that you would meet him at the Candy Bar?"
"Yeah, but I was going to do that after you met my parents. Plus, I told Jimmy to meet us there at four, and it's only two now, but maybe I can call him and see if he'll mmet us there early." said Cindy.
Before she could pick up her phone and dial Jimmy's number, the front door opened and they ran down stairs to greet Cindy's parents.
Back at the lab, Jimmy was preparing to contact King Goobot and tell him the good news.
In a few moments, he was on the screen.
"I have good news. I talked to April, and she has agreed to forget the war." said Jimmy.
"Really Neutron? and I thought you were useless." said Goobot.
"Anyway, I hope you plan to keep up your end of the deal." said Jimmy.
"I knew you would. But of course, that isn't going to happen.. You see, this was all part of my plan. I knew you would rush to have the Gorlocks stop the war, and then, I would be free to conquer your planet." said Goobot, and then he let out a long and malicious laugh.
"You can't! We had a deal! I did what you asked, so now you have to keep your end of the bargain." said Jimmy.
"Oh, come on! Did you really believe that I would stay true to my word? and I thought you were a genius!"
"So, you are the low down being that I though you were. But you know what? I'm not going to give up that easily. I'm going to get an army together, and we will defeat you in war!" said Jimmy.
"Is that so? Well you can try...oh and by the way... I just recieved information that your little girlfriend was the heir to the Gorlock throne. That is also good news, now to make sure that they never try to take over again, I can just take Cindy, and that way, they won't help you in the war." said Goobot.
With that, his face dissapeared from the screen. Jimmy couldn't believe what he had just heard. The yokians were going to invade after all, and they were also after cindy.
Of course, Cindy had no idea that an alien race was on the lookout for her. She and Tara sat at the Candy Bar waiting for Jimmy. Cindy couldn't help but notice all of the looks that Tara was getting, and they weren't bad.
Cindy tried not to think about all of the boys staring at Tara, and instead kept her eye on the door, for a sign of Jimmy.
Finally, she saw Jimmy come through the door.
It didn't take long for him to walk over to her and sit down. She could tell by the look on his face that he had bad news.
"What's wrong, Jimmy?" asked Tara.
"Anything I can help with" asked Cindy, giving Tara a look.
"Actually, I need to talk to you privately" said Jimmy, motioning to Cindy.
"Ok, I'll just be over here if you need me" said Tara. She moved over to another table where she was immediately surrounded by a flock of pre-teen boys.
"Wow, Tara actually looks pretty" said Jimmy, but then he decided otherwise "I mean, she blends in well..." he said.
"Anyway, what was it that you needed to talk to me about?" asked Cindy.
"Well, I contacted Goobot..." said Jimmy.
"Really? What did he have to say?" asked Cindy.
"Well, he said thanks...and then he said that he was going to conquer Earth." said Jimmy.
"Neutron! You've got to be kidding me..." said Cindy.
"That was the good news...well actually that was part of the bad news, but there is worse news." said Jimmy.
"What can be worse than knowing that the Yokians are going to try and take over again!"
"Goobot found out that you're the heir to the Gorlock throne. He thinks that if you are taken then the Gorlocks will not help Earth. He knows that April doesn't like you, but she knows that you are the heir, and so she does respect you, and if anything happened to you, then she would be overthrown." said Jimmy.
"You're telling me that they're looking for me?" asked Cindy, and Jimmy was surprized to hear a hint of fear in her voice. Never before had he seen her scared like that.
"It'll be fine. I'm putting an army together as soon as I inform everyone of the situation." said Jimmy.
"How is that going to help me? I mean, they're evil!" said Cindy.
"Don't worry." said Jimmy. " I won't let anything happen to you."
