A/N: I shall NOT chatter endlessly, ONWARD!
Disclaimer: (I need to put these up more often) I do NOT own Jimmy Neutron. This is called FanFiction.
Chapter 4: Titanic Toads?
"Okay, Neutron. Now where are we? I don't see any dots," Cindy was now complaining. Relieved and impressed Carl that Carl had pleased the "Pizza Monster" they were now walking under the green and orange sun once again. They had stocked up on pizza before and didn't have to worry about starving.
"Cindy, you're acting like Sheen," Jimmy said annoyed. They were all becoming grumpy, for they were lost, confused, and very hot.
"Sheesh! This sun is totally drying out my hair! I just had it done, it's getting all frizzy!" Libby was complaining about the heat the multicolored sun was giving off. Jimmy looked around for shade.
"Hey you guys!" Jimmy started excitedly, "There's a river over there!" Everyone darted towards it. Once there almost everyone freely dunked their head under the cool, refreshing water on their faces, coming up every once in a while for air.
"Who cares if my hair is messy?" Libby said. Apparently, hair didn't matter then, what mattered was she wasn't steaming up any more. Once everyone had their faces wet and cool, they looked around. They hadn't realized the river ran through a dense forest.
"Now what?" Sheen asked.
"I suggest we walk," Cindy said, and stalked on, following the river. Soon Jimmy realized something.
"Wait!" he said, "We have to cross the river."
"Uh...how exactly do we do that?" Sheen asked. Jimmy looked around. Soon he saw a place on the river that looked slightly green; matter of fact, it looked multi-colored. He ran towards it, the others followed suit. When he got close enough he saw what seemed like a grid of lily pads.
"Well they look stable," Cindy said. She set her foot down on one, then gradually leaned forward and put her other foot on. It did indeed float.
"But the next one is too far away, Cindy," Libby told her. Cindy jumped back on shore.
"So what do we do now Neutr-Ah?" The last part of her sentence was a scream of fear as she leaped and ducked, her hands covering her head. She ducked just in time. An enormous toad sailed over her head and landed on that first lily pad. Cindy cautiously got up and all of them stared in amazement at the gigantic blue being. Right after that there leaped a green toad, a purple toad, red toad, and pink toad. Just then Jimmy's brain clicked.
"Look at the colors of the lily pads guys!" he exclaimed. They surveyed the "grid". There were oddly twisted paths of blue, green, purple, red, and pink lily pads crossing over to the other side of the river.
"Oh no! I see were this is going!" Carl shrieked in fright. "Jimmy I'm allergic to toads!"
"Carl, you have two choices," Jimmy told him, "One, you can hold in the sneezes and ride the toad or two, swim across. What do you pick?"
"I'll ride the green toad," Carl said quickly, for he could not swim.
"I call pink!" Cindy called and stood behind the pink toad.
"I
call purple!" said Libby, getting ready to climb onto her toad.
"I
call blue!" Sheen yelled excitedly.
"So I get red," Jimmy said and got ready behind his toad. "Okay, on three jump on," Jimmy said. "One...two...THREE!" They all mounted and the toads revved up and started jumping wildly from lily pad to lily pad that matched their color. Before long, they all found themselves on the other side of the river, all breathing deeply for they were scared they might have not made it.
All talking quietly, they started to continue forward, when Jimmy suddenly halted.
"Wait!" he yelled. "Someone's missing!" Everyone was suddenly panicky, all inquiring who. Jimmy looked around.
"AHHHHHHH!" A scream interrupted his thought. He quickly turned around. There was Carl, going back and forth on his toad. "AHHHH!" he screamed again. Jimmy thought quickly.
"CARL!" he yelled. "JUMP!"
"But, but, but" Carl stammered. Then he gathered the small amount of courage he had, and jumped. He hit the ground hard. Jimmy, Sheen, Libby, and surprisingly, Cindy, rushed over to him. He slowly got up and brushed himself off.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," Carl said, but he couldn't help but smile. The now closer group of friends walked on to face their next challenge.
