Chapter 7- I was informed that I was using to much dialouge in my story. The reason being, on the show, mostly there is dialouge, and I was just used to that, but I've decided to use more description. Actually, I'd rather write description more anyway, since I'm a poet, but poetry wouldn't do much good here...anyway, here goes. chapter seven
For a moment, Cindy had forgotten what had happened. One moment, she was admiring the stars that reminded her of her torment, and the next she was being pulled upon a small enemy spacecraft. Cindy was glad that she had spotted the craft soon enought to scribble a small note for someone to find. She knew the note would eventually circulate and land in Jimmy's hands. She would have tried to run, but they would find her anyway. Instead, she used her intuition to save herself; well at least for the moment.
Cindy surveyed the environment in which she was being kept. As soon as she had been pulled upon the craft, she was drugged and awoke hours later in a tiny room, only big enough for two people at most to sit comfortably. Chains held her hands together, and they were uncomfortably held behind her back. Her feet were also shackled together, by a large rusty chain coming from the floor. The walls were gray and peeling from age and neglect. Although they were flying through space at warp speed, water dripped in on Cindy, falling into her bright blonde hair. None of that bothered Cindy. She was too preocupied with her thoughts of escape.
Cindy was seated on the hard stone floor. She attempted to stand, but the shackles pulled at her ankles, forcing her to resume her position on the ground. Cindy wasn't going to give up. She couldn't just sit there, and wait to be tortured with the rantings of a power hungry king.
Cindy attempted to undo the shackles that held her to the floor, but it was no use. The more she tried to pull them from her ankle, the tighter they grew. She was astonished at the simplicity of her prison. Of course, she had been held before in a Yokian dungeon, and it wasn't state of the art either.
Cindy sighed. This was the worst position that she'd ever been in. Before, when she'd been kidnapped by Eustace, Jimmy knew where she was. She had left him a note this time, but she was unsure if he would know excatly what it meant.
Jimmy was in his lab. That's where the note had told him to go. The letter had also ordered him to look on his monitor, and sure enough, there was a message wating for him.
"Activate new message." stated Jimmy. In a matter of seconds the face of King Goobot appeared on the screen.
"Greetings, Neutron. I see that you are recieving this recorded message. By now we have your little girlfriend held as prisoner somewhere in the universe. I would suggest that you not try to rescue her, because if you leave the Earth there is always the possible chance that my army will attack at that very moment. So, you are in a bad place to be. You can either defend your home planet which you've lived on for your whole life. Where all of your friends, family, and anyone else you care about is at the very moment, and would eventually perish after our landing. Wait one moment, not everyone you care about. There is one person, and that would be Cindy. Is she really worth putting the whole Earth in danger just to save? You're the only one who can make that decision, Neutron. You'd better make it fast though, because we are getting farther and farther away from Earth as I speak. I'll let you think about it alone. Goodbye!
Not again...thought Jimmy. No many times had he mad to make hard decisions, but none as hard as this.
"Goddard, options..." he said.
Goddard's screen appeared and listed 3 options.
1. Defend the Earth.
"I know that's the most logical choice, but...second option please"
2. Save Cindy.
"Of course, I want to save Cindy, but what about everyone else?"
3. Go into space and save Cindy. Leave someone you trust in control of the war.
"That's actually a good idea! I could fly up and get Cindy, but who could I leave in charge?"
Tara agreed to take over the supervision of the war on Earth. Jimmy was at first reluctant to leave her in charge because of the stunt she had pulled with Cindy, and it was her fault that Cindy was gone in the first place. But, Jimmy also knew that Tara was skilled in the art of war, because of where she had come from. He also knew that she was smart, and he was leaving Libby in second command.
"Jimmy, do you know what you're doing?" asked Libby.
Everyone sat at the Candy Bar in their normal booth.
"Yeah, Jimmy, what if when you return, we're all like alien slaves forced to mine jelly out of the ground." asked Sheen.
"I don't want to mine jelly, I'm allergic!" said Carl.
"I think Jimmy's doing the right thing, but I still don't understand why Cindy's so important..." said Tara.
"Isn't it obvious?" asked Libby, who was tired of Tara trying to go after Jimmy.
Jimmy left the table as he bid farewell to everyone.
"Not really. I know that they used to fight all the time...and Cindy talked to me earlier, but I didn't know that he..." started Tara.
"Tara, give it a rest. Cindy and Jimmy love each other, and it's never going to change." said Libby.
That statement was immediately met by shocked looks from the oblivious Sheen and Carl, and the exit of Tara.
"What? She had to know the truth!" said Libby.
there it was, please review
