Chapter three- well here it goes...oh and have any of you watched stranded yet? I've only seen the first half, but it was awesome! I'm currently working on getting the 2nd half, so if any of you have a link to it besides the jcers site or ranmaromance, then i would appreciate it. well, anyway, here goes...chapter 3- oh and I've been forgetting the disclaimer- I don't own Jimmy Neutron...at least not legally(laughs maniacly)
Jimmy's mother wasn't happy about having a guest. He had told them that morning, after his conflict with Cindy, and his mother hadn't spoken to him since. He knew that his mother and Mrs. Vortex didn't get along well, but he thought that his mother liked Cindy well enough.
As for his father, he couldn't be prouder. He was glad that his son was responsible enough to care for another human being in trouble.
"Jimbo, I'm glad that you feel like you have to help Cindy." said Hugh. " I remember when I was your age. I helped your mother hide from an alien race, too! What a coincidence! Of course, then I woke up, but still..."
All Jimmy could do was roll his eyes. He needed to speak to his mother. He had no idea what her problem was with Cindy staying in the lab.
Jimmy found his mother in the garage working on their car.
"Hey mom, can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Jimmy, honey, I'm busy right now, can't this wait until later?" she asked.
"Actually, it's kind of important." said Jimmy.
"Alright..." she said as she slammed the hood of the car.
"Mom, why are you so upset about Cindy staying in the lab" he asked.
"Jimmy, I'm glad that you want to help. I'm also glad that you've found a girlfriend..."
Jimmy let her comment pass and waited eagerly for what else she had to say.
"I'm also glad that you're protecing her, but is she really worth putting yourself in danger? By helping her you're putting yourself at risk" said his mom.
Jimmy understood. His mother did like Cindy, but she loved Jimmy more. Judy was worried about his safety.
"So, you don't hate Cindy?" he asked.
"Of course not! And even though I'm worried about you, I think you're doing the right thing, and I will allow Cindy to stay in the lab. But on one condition...you have to let her leave once in a while. Someone who is use to being free doesn't do well locked up. Why don't you invite her to dinner with us tonight?"
Jimmy noded his head in agreement. He didn't like the idea of Cindy leaving the lab, but he knew his mother was right- Cindy was a free spirit and couldn't be held for long.
I know that was a really short chapter, but I'm eager to get to the good parts. please review!
