Chapter 2: Journey to Egypt

Cindy sat there staring at the TV, about to fall asleep with the rest of the class. Why did Ms. Fowl even make them watch that boring movie in the first place? I wouldn't even call it a movie, I'd call it "a trip to Snoresville."

Cindy sighed and looked around at the rest of the class, only to see everyone else asleep. She was about to follow every one else's example till she layed her green eyes on Jimmy. He was asleep, and in a very deep sleep at that. Figuring it was the only thing to do, she just kept staring at him with a smile on her face.

Cindy: Thinking He looks so peaceful like that.. I wonder why he's been falling asleep so much?

Unknown to Cindy, Libby was watching her, very closely through slit eyes.

Libby: Thinking That girl had better come clean soon about her true feelings for him. She thinks she can hide them from me, but she's dead wrong.

Opening her eyes, she tapped Cindy on the shoulder to get her attention. Startled, Cindy whipped around to see what was poking her, and sighed in relief when she saw that it was Libby. Libby took out a piece of paper and jotted something down then handed it to Cindy. She took it and read it over.

Piece of Paper: Girl, were you staring at Jimmy again?

Cindy looked shocked for just a second, then took out a pencil and wrote back then handed the paper to Libby.

P. of P.: No! Why would I be staring at Nerdtron? I was looking out the door!

Libby rolled her eyes and wrote back.

P. of P.: Whatever girl, I know what I saw! Why don't you wake him up so we can get out of here before I fall asleep.

Cindy took it and read it over, sighed and nodded a yes to Libby. She took a deep breath, got up slowly, and once again, walked over to Jimmy's desk. She tried tapping his shoulder to try and wake him up, the only reaction she got was twitch and a meaningless reply.

Jimmy: Dreamily No mommy, I don't want to ride the pony...

Cindy sighed it aggravation and looked back at Libby only to see her laughing under her breath. Cindy sighed again and turned back to Jimmy trying to decide what to do. She snapped her fingers quietly. Instead of yelling in his ear this time, she flicked it, hard, really hard. Her result was an earned smack in the jaw from Jimmy lifting his head quickly. He yawned and looked up to see Cindy rubbing her bottom jaw and glared.

Jimmy: In a hushed tone Vortex! What was that for! Can't you see I'm trying to sleep here?

Cindy: That's the problem! We don't want to sleep!

Jimmy: We? Who's we?

Cindy: Libby and I! We woke you up so we could get out of here! We're bored!

Jimmy looked at her strangely and thought for a moment. He looked at the class and saw everyone else asleep, including their teacher, Carl, and Sheen. He sighed and nodded, very slowly I might add.

Jimmy: Alright Vortex, I suppose we could go. But where?

Libby: How about Egypt again?

Cindy: Libby! Remember what happened the last time we went there? We almost got killed by mummies! And we got 10 demerits for leaving the school! I can't afford another 10 demerits! My mother will murder me if I do!

Libby: Then we'll be careful this time! Besides, Jimmy doesn't have his Electro-Thing anymore, right Jimmy? Uh... Jimmy?

Jimmy had fallen asleep again and was in la-la land, or in a better term, had entered REM through Cindy and Libby's conversation. This of course angered Cindy, so she slapped him this time.

Jimmy: OW! I'm awake, I'm awake!

Cindy: Good, go wake Carl and Sheen so we can leave. Oh, and one more thing, put tape on Carl's mouth so he doesn't blab anything!

Jimmy grunted, got up and walked over to Carl and Sheen quite sluggishly and woke them up with ease. Sheen was excited that they were leaving for Egypt once again, but Carl wasn't...

Carl: Jim, do we really have to go back there?

Jimmy: Would you rather be watching this?

He pointed to the TV, which was showing the screen panning over nothing but sand.

Carl: I vote for Egypt!

Sheen: Me too!

Libby: What are we doing standing here? Let's go already!

They left the classroom quietly, but not without putting tape over Carl's mouth.

Carl: Mmmmmppphhhh...!

Jimmy: Be quiet Carl! We'll take the tape off once we're off school property!

They snuck through the hallways and ducked below classroom doors, and within 5 minutes, they were outside.

Sheen: Whoo! Remind me to go to the gym next time! Running and ducking is quite a workout! Right Carl?

Poor Carl was doing the best he could breathing through his nose due to the tape.

Sheen: Eh... Nevermind...

Jimmy pulled out a remote control from behind and pressed a button.

Jimmy: Good thing I created a remote control for the hovercar. It should be here in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

The hovercar came right on time and landed in front of them.

Cindy: It's a good thing you did! At least we don't have to wait forever like last time!

Cindy crossed her arms while Jimmy just glared. Libby just stood there with her arms crossed and shaking her head.

Jimmy: Alright everybody on board, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll get to Egypt.

All 5 of them boarded while Jimmy sat int he driver's seat and started the hovercar up. As soon as they were all on, Sheen removed the tape from Carl's mouth, and in a matter of seconds, they were all heading for Egypt.

----Egypt, One Hour Later-----

Jimmy: Well guys, here's Egypt.. Again...

Sheen: Uh Jimmy, why are we here again?

Cindy: To get out of that boring video! That's why Ultra Dork!

Sheen: Well we could've gone some place else!

Cindy: Like where?

Sheen: Japan! I've always wanted to go back to Japan! I never got to see their Ultra Lord stores!

Jimmy: Guys, guys! Stop fighting! I have a very bad feeling that something's going to happen, but I don't know what...

Carl: Hey Jim, what's this?

Carl had pulled out the DD900 that he found on the floor on the hovercar.

Jimmy: Carl! No don't-

It was too late, Carl had accidentally pushed the main button that activated it. Soon they were all sent spiraling through a vortex.

Carl/Sheen/Libby/Cindy/Jimmy: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

-----Two Hours Later-----

Cindy: Wake up Nerdtron! You have ten seconds to tell us where we are right now!

Jimmy slowly opened his sapphire eyes and groaned. When he was fully awake, he took a look at the surroundings.

Jimmy: It seems that my DD900 had sent us into another dimension, but it looks like Egypt, a little too much.

Cindy: Great, now we're stuck here with no way of getting home! What was that thing doing in the hovercar anyway?

Libby: Cindy, calm down! I'm sure Jimmy will find a way to fix this!

Cindy: Sarcastically Oh now I feel safe!

Jimmy: Can it Vortex! I will find a way to get us home!

Jimmy walked over to the hovercar and picked up the DD900.

Jimmy: Gas planet! It's broken! It must've been damaged while we were traveling through the portal!

Carl: You mean we're stuck here! This can't be happening!

Sheen: Relax Carl, there's no need to panic! Let me do it for you!

Sheen started screaming and running around, Carl soon joined.

Libby: Would you guys stop that! You're giving me a headache!

Cindy ignored them and walked over to Jimmy.

Cindy: Well this is another fine mess you've gotten us into! Get me home right now or prepare to face my wrath!

Jimmy: Look Cindy, I want to get home as much as you, but it may take days to-

Jimmy paused and looked straight forward with frightened eyes.

Cindy: Uh, Earth to Neutron!

Jimmy: Cindy, turn around and tell me what you see...

Cindy sighed and turned around, only to get the same frightened face as Jimmy.

Cindy: J-Jimmy... W-What is that?

Jimmy: A giant sandstorm... Libby, Sheen, Carl! Get over here and get in the hovercar right now!

All of them turned to the sandstorm with wide eyes, then ran to the hovercar in an instant.

Carl: Jimmy! Hurry and start it!

Jimmy: I'm trying to! It won't start!

The hovercar was sputtering as Jimmy tried to start it, but with little success...

Jimmy: Forget it! It won't start! Run!

All five of them jumped out of the hovercar. Jimmy turned back around and ran back to get the DD900. Cindy saw this and followed him.

Cindy: Neutron! What are you doing!

Jimmy: If we want to get out of here, I need to get the DD900!

Cindy: NEUTRON!

They had to start yelling above the noise of the sandstorm, which was only 50 feet away from them.

Jimmy: Got it!

Cindy: Good! Let's get out of here! Now!

Cindy grabbed his hand and started running toward where the others were, but they didn't make it, the sandstorm had caught up to them and engulfed both of them, sending them spiraling into it. Cindy had managed to grab Jimmy and hold onto him so they wouldn't get separated in the storm.

Sheen/Carl/Libby: Jimmy/Cindy!

All three of them looked over the huge ditch they were in once the storm had passed to find they were alone...
