CHAPTER 13 - "Friendly conversation"
"Girl, can I talk to you for a second? Private?" Libby asked Cindy.
Cindy, still dazed by the kiss, nodded sheepishly. "Sure, Libby!" she said, blushing furiously. "Bye, Jimmy!" she greeted, as she waved her hand.
Jimmy, also dazed by the kiss, waved sheepishly his hand. His friends went to talk to him. Sheen got closer and moved a hand in front of his pal, but nothing happened.
"Are you alright, Jimmy? You kissed Cindy, you know!" Sheen asked, still moving his hand.
"Yeah, Jimmy. You told me we don't like girls yet" .
Jimmy snapped out from his dream land. "Guys! Guys! Calm down. I'm fine!" he said. He went back to his dream, where he remembered his first kiss with Cindy. He sighed happily. "I'm... feel... great!"
"Jimmy, are you ok?" Sheen asked.
"Oh, no! He's hippotized!" Carl cried.
"It's hypnotized!" Sheen corrected.
"Oh, yeah!" Carl said and snorted.
Libby and Cindy walked to a private room to talk. Libby moved a hand in front of Cindy, but she didn't respond. "Cindy? Are you alright, girl?".
Cindy snapped out from her dream land. She blushed, as she looked at her friend. "Yeah... I feel fine..." she said, then, she went back to her dream, remembering her first kiss with Jimmy. She sighed happily. "I'm fine, thanks for asking...".
"Girl, you're in love!" Libby squealed.
"Yeah..." Cindy said. She realized and blushed furiously, then, she looked at her friend with a face of fake disgust. "I-I mean, I don't!".
Libby looked at Cindy suspiciously. "Oh, yeah? What about that kiss?" she asked.
"Kiss? What kiss? Oh, you mean THAT kiss? Oh, it was sooo cool!" Cindy mumbled in her dreams.
Meanwhile...
"...you mean THAT kiss? It was sooo cool!" Jimmy mumbled.
"I think he lost his mind" Sheen suggested.
"Jimmy, have you been messing with the brain drain thingy you got in your lab?" Carl asked.
Jimmy snapped out again from his dreams. "N-No guys, I-I'm ok! Hey, anyway, thanks for coming to see me. I missed you guys!" he said, shaking hands with Sheen.
"Thanks, Jimmy!" Sheen said. He noticed Jimmy's Karate costume. "Man, you look Ultra-awesome on these! Hey, Carl, check out his muscles!" he said, examining Jimmy's muscles.
Carl examined Jimmy's muscles, too. "Wow! Jim, Cindy must be the best teacher you ever had".
Jimmy fought about it. He liked what Carl said. "Oh, yeah..." he said, dreamily. He realized what he was doing and blushed. "She taught me balance, how to punch, position, concentration, and she was about to finish teaching me to fight. But we decided to take a break".
"Yeah, and in an Ultra-crazy way!" Sheen screamed, happily.
"W-what do you mean?" Jimmy stuttered.
"C'mon, Jimmy, you lucky man, you like Cindy!" Sheen said, elbowing his friend.
Jimmy blushed furiously at this commentary. "No, I don't!". 'Yes, I do!'.
"Your face is red as a tomato!" Carl said, laughing.
"Carl!" Jimmy shouted.
"What?" Carl asked, confused.
Meanwhile, Libby and Cindy were still talking.
"C'mon, girl, admit that you like Jimmy!" Libby said.
Cindy blushed furiously at the commentary. "No, I don't.". 'Yes, I do!'.
"Did you teach him something or you were just kissing only?" Libby asked.
"Yeah, don't worry, Libs. I taught him a lot of things and I think he's almost ready for tomorrow" she replied, relieved that her friend changed the subject.
"I hope so" Libby said, as she sighed.
"Look, thanks for coming, but I will need to keep training Jimmy. You understand, don't you?" Cindy said.
"Yeah, girl. Don't worry" Libby said, elbowing her friend and winking. "I see ya later. Bye!" she greeted.
"Bye!" Cindy greeted.
Sheen, Carl and Jimmy finished talking.
"...and I'll have to keep training with Cindy. I hope you two understand" Jimmy explained.
"Yeah, we understand. Right, Carl?" Sheen winked at Carl.
"Oh, yeah...! Uh... Jimmy, see ya later. Bye!" Carl greeted.
"Bye, Ultra-man!" Sheen greeted.
"Bye, guys!" Jimmy greeted.
Libby, Sheen and Carl left Cindy's house. Before they go, they said bye to Mrs. Vortex.
"I knew it! Cindy likes Jimmy!" Libby squealed.
"Yeah, and Jimmy likes Cindy!" Sheen yelled.
"And I like llamas! And Jimmy's mom!" Carl commented.
Sheen and Libby made faces of disgust and turned their heads at Carl.
"Errr... cookies! Jimmy's mom cookies! They're sooo good! Why don't we ask her for some?" Carl suggested.
"Good idea, fat boy!" Sheen said, patting his friend in the back.
"I guess I can eat some too. And we can tell her how Jimmy's doing" Libby said.
