A huge crackling sound suddenly was heard right around the streets of Retroville which caused a few people to roll their eyes and say to themselves "Neutron has just blown something up again!" for they were right too in Jimmy's lab smoke was swirling around everywhere for Jimmy had just blown up the rocket he had been trying to fix for ages. covered with black soot Jimmy frowned and said to himself "Lousy Rocket! I'm never gonna getting working again the way this is going!" Jimmy was more annoyed tham usual because Cindy had pulled a very nasty prank on him which involved tipping a whole tin of sticky glue down his shorts when he least exspected it. but he knew he could get her back he just had to think of how he would be able to make her feel as bad as what she had made him. finally after 2 more hours Jimmy had fixed his Rocket after that he headed up to his room and started pacing trying to come up with a vert nasty prank to pull on Cindy. finally Jimmy smirked and said "I've just come up with the perfect prank to pull on Cindy Vortex one she will never forget!".

The Next morning Jimmy headed down the street for school he hadn't even taken 5 steps when he heard Cindy's voice come from behind him he frowned and turned to see Cindy standing there with her arms crossed and smirking obviously still proud of what she did to Jimmy yesterday. "So Neutron got all the glue out of your shorts yet I hope it wasn't too much of a sticky problem!" Cindy suddenly burst out laughing but without her seeing Jimmy just grinned an evil grin and said "I'll see you in class Vortex". and with that Jimmy walked off leaving Cindy rather confused about him not throwing any insults back at her. when everyone had reached their class and settled down, Jimmy reached into his bag and pulled out a rather small but powerful looking invention. it was shaped like a crystal and it had buttons all over it and in the very middle was a square screen that had Cindy flashing on it. "Hey Jim what type of invention is that you got there?" Carl askedJimmy gave another evil grin and leaning close so that only Carl could hear he whispered "This new invention of mine though small as it seems has the power to lock on to peoples thoughts and feelings and transports them into sound so that even though you are only thinking it people can still hear it and I plan to test it out on Vortex today and make her feel as bad as what she made me feel yesterday".

Finally Ms Fowl said that it was time todo show and tell, after Cindy finished raving ón about her study onthe tiger and how is lives and survives. Jimmy now smirking from ear to ear stood up from his desk and went up front and began to speak "Introducing my latest invention Theheart crystal!" and he held the small crystal up so that everyone could see it a few people whispered to the person next to them. Cindy on the other hand was starting to feel annoyed and she said rolling her eyes "So Nerdtron what exactly does this so called Heart Crystal do anyway?" Jimmy just grinned and said while walking towards her "I'm glad you asked that Vortex cause this little invention of mine has..." But Jimmy stopped and grinning even more he said holding the little crystal out in front of her "Well instead of me telling you what it does let me show you Vortex!" and before Cindy could stop him Jimmy pushed on of the buttons and a ray of light shot out of it and hit Cindy in the middle of her chest. Cindy looked down at her chest in shock as she saw that the pink ray of light began to trace an outline of a heart onto it, everyone else just stared in awe amazed by what Jimmy's new invention was doing. "NEUTRON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?" Cindy cried as the heart shape began to beat

A sudden voice began to speak it was Cindy's voice even though she was not saying anything out loud it took awhile for her to realise that it was her heart speaking and it was saying "Oh Nick is such a pain in the butt! even whenI try to speak to him he just totally ignores me! to be truthful I never really did like him. I only made out I did to try and make Jimmy jealous!"Cindy and everyone else in the class gasped at those last words. the voice continued "I don't really hate Jimmy at all I actually kinda like him he's cute! and even though I always fight with him I never really mean any of the things I throw at him. I really do like him and even though I always say it is not true deep down inside I know it is, I.. I love him". everyone was silent and were staring at Cindy, finally the heart flickered and shut it's self down Jimmy just stood there with his mouthhanging open and his eyes wide. he reached his handout to Cindy and whispered "Cindy I...?" but before he could finish Cindy slapped his hand away and stood up and looking Jimmy right in the eyes she cried "HOW COULD YOU?" and covering her face with her hands she ran out of the classroom and down the hallway to the girls bathroom.

Leaving the class and mostly Jimmy very shocked Jimmy turned and saw that all the classes eyes were now on him. Jimmy smiled sheepishly and then Libby stood up and facing Jimmy she said in an angry voice "Oh Neutron how could you upset Cindy like that? what you just did to her was even more nasty than what she did to you yesterday!". "Libby I..I didn't mean..." but Libby just made a tutting sound and stomped out of the class room to go and see if Cindy was alright leaving Jimmy feeling surprised and awful at the same time. the rest of the day went byvery slowly for Jimmy atlunch time Jimmy was walking around trying to see if he could spot Cindy anywhere but he found no trace of her for the rest of the day. after the bell rang Jimmy slowly began to walk home feeling very horrible about what he had done to Cindy and he so wished he could turn back time and make everything alright again. "I can't believe what I heard! I thought Cindy totally hated me but after what the Heart crystal told me and everyone else that deep down inside she really loves me! I never thought I'd say it but I feel awful about upsetting her today...I mean...I didn't know she felt that way". stopping just out the front of his house Jimmy peered up and at Cindy's window and saw that her TV was on Jimmy thought for a minute and whipered towards Cindy's window "Somehow I'll make it up to you I promise Cindy I promise".
