Chapter two:- Just Starting

Samuraistar- No they don't go that far I promise

Cindy sat in her room reading through her diary from the trip. She still couldn't believe what had happened during that week. She read one entry aloud.

"Gotta go check on Jimmy...something just came crashin' down." She smiled thinking back.

Flashback

Cindy was writing in her diary when something made a loud crash outside. She wrote a last sentence and then walked out of her tent. She started laughing when she saw his high tech all science tent flat on the ground with him inside blindly trying to find his way out.

"Well don't just stand there Vortex! Help me out of this thing!" He yelled facing the wrong way which caused her to laugh more. "Oh c'mon!"

"Fine but you owe me." She said starting to walk over. She helped guide him out of the tent. She started laughing again when she saw his hair even more messed up than the tent.

"Oh shut up!" She yelled fixing his hair. He went over and put his tent back up quickly but it fell again. "Gas planet!" He yelled.

"You want help?" Cindy asked smiling. He looked up in shock.

"Are you, Cindy Vortex, offering me help on purpose?" He stood up.

"Well if you don't want it..." She said turning to leave.

"No I want it." Jimmy said kneeling back down to fix his tent. "I was just checking." He handed her a hammer. "Can you go and push those steaks in more?"

"What you don't trust me?" She asked jokingly as she took the hammer. "You have to check to make sure I mean well?"

"Yes." He said plainly. Cindy looked insulted and she was. After all that they had been through together, he still didn't trust her? She threw the hammer down about an inch away from his hand. He looked up to see her stomping into her tent. "Wait Cindy!" He sighed. He really needed better people skills.

End Flashback

Her smile faded. That wasn't the best memory of the trip. It wasn't the worst though either. She got up and looked out her window across the street. She saw him walk over to his computer. She wondered what he was thinking about.

Kind of funny he was thinking about her and what happened. 'Strange how things can change just like that.' He thought. "Of course this wasn't just anything or anyone. It's Cindy! It was her all of her!' He remembered what he had done to make up for what he said.

Flashback

He finished setting up his tent and it was already dark out. Cindy was still in her tent. He hadn't really ment what he had said. He sisn't think she'd take it to heart either. He lit a fire and started cooking dinner. He put it in 5 seperate plates. After delivering a plate to Carl, he picked up another plate.

He walked over to Cindy's tent and gently scratched the tent in substitution of knocking.

"Cindy." He said "Cindy I made dinner for you." He heard her move a little but she didn't answer him. "I'm coming in." He said before unzipping the tent and opening it up. He walked in to see her sitting there staring at him...just staring at him.

"Do you really think I'm I can't be nice?" She asked with barely any tone.

"No." He breathed out. He set the plate down on the floor and sat in front of her. "I know you can be."

"You should know that I can be nice."

"I do. I mean..." He didn't want to bring it up because it showed so much but it was nessasry to make her understand and make a full apoligy. "Look, you remember when we were stuck on that island together?" He head shot up at the sound of it. Obviously she remembered. "You prooved that then. Hell, you prooved a lot to me during those few days." She looked away a little embaressed.

"Yeah...I guess you did the same thing."

"Hey after we got back-" His question was inturupted by yelling outside.

"What's wrong Libs baby?" Sheen yelled after a stomping Libby. She turned around.

"You don't kiss a girl then call her Ultra Lord!" She yelled. Cindy and Jimmy held in a laugh.

"What? It's a compliment!" Sheen said. Libby let out a frustrated sigh then stomped into her tent. He went into his tent but stuck his head back out. "Are you still mad?" He got hit in the head with a shoe. "Ow!" He yelled. "That hurt!" He waited a few seconds. "Still mad?" Another shoe hit him in the head. "Ow! That hurt!"

Sheen and Libby didn't notice that Jimmy was in Cindy's then (Thank god!) Jimmy stepped out of the tent.

"Grab your food and let's eat." Jimmy said as Cindy smiled.

End Flashback

Sure it wasn't anything romantic or anything but it worked. Jimmy got up and looked out the window to see Cindy looking back at him. They both immidiatly turned away. Jimmy leaned against his wall.

"And to think that it was just starting." He sighed
