Here's chapter 4! Hope you like it! This is the last chapter and the longest.. I was going to make a chapter 5 but decided against it. Instead, it will be a summary of my next story.

Chapter 4: Home, Home, and Away!

Carl looked down at the sleeping form of Jimmy, shook his head and sighed.

Carl: Poor Jim... I wonder what made him so sick?

Sheen: Maybe being sick of the desert made him sick?

Carl: Well I'm sick of this desert and I'm not ill!

Sheen: Like you could ever get sick Carl!

Carl: I can too!

Libby looked over at them with a frown on her face.

Libby: Would you too keep it down! Jimmy's trying to sleep here!

Carl/Sheen: Sorry...

Libby: If you ask me, I think he got sick from staying up for 3 nights in a row..

Carl: Well I guess that makes sense... I guess..

Libby just rolled her eyes and turned to look at Cindy, who was sitting in the sand grumbling about who knows what. She got up and walked over to Cindy and tapped her on the shoulder, startling her and making her drop the DD900.

Cindy: Ah! Libby!

Libby: Sorry about that Cindy.. How's the repair on Jimmy's invention coming?

Cindy: What do you think?

Libby: Um... Not too good?

Cindy: Bingo... I can't seem to figure out where it was damaged.. Neutron builds his gadgets to be so confusing!

Libby gave her a concerned look.

Cindy: But don't worry Libs! I'll figure it out!

Cindy looks at her new watch that she bought two days before they got trapped here.

Cindy: Ok, it's been about two hours now, wake Jimmy and give him something to eat and drink. I'll continue working on this annoying contraption of his...

Libby just nods, gets up and walks over to Jimmy. She looks around for Carl and Sheen, only to find them gone.

Libby: Thinking Hmm... Must've gone to the bathroom or something. Oh well, now to try and get Jimmy awake... This will be fun..

Libby tries to poke him, snap her fingers in front of his face, push on him, and clapping with no success in waking him up. She growls in frustration and decides to do what Cindy did to him before they left, flick him in the ear. It didn't seem to work for a few seconds until Jimmy opened his eyes. Everything he saw was fuzzy for the first ten seconds, then it became clearer. The first thing he saw was Libby hovering over top of him with her arms crossed over her chest. He groans and sits up, very slowly so he didn't get dizzy.

Jimmy: Li-Libby?

Libby: Well, at least you can talk now, even if you are a bit hoarse. Cindy says it's time for you to eat, so don't fall back asleep, ok?

Jimmy: Ci-Cindy? Wh-where is she?

Libby: She's working on your invention so we can get out of here. Now I'll be right back, I need to find your backpack.

She walked over to where she saw it last, only to see it gone. She looked the whole campsite to see that it wasn't even there. Then it hit her, Carl and Sheen are gone, so that means...

Libby: Cindy! Carl and Sheen took Jimmy's backpack and took off with it!

Cindy turned around to look at her and sat the DD900 down on the ground. She then got up and walked over to Libby and stood in front of her.

Cindy: Now why would they do that? I told them to save that food and water for Jimmy!

She turned to look at the ground and glared.

Cindy: Those traitors! Libby, go and find them! And if by some chance you do, drag them back here by the back of their shirts and leave the rest to me!

Libby: Got it!

-----With Carl/Sheen-----

Carl: Sheen! We shouldn't be doing this! Cindy told us to save the food and water for Jimmy!

Sheen: You're actually going to listen to a girl! Carl, I am deeply ashamed!

Carl: Yeah but... She is the second smartest kid in school! Why shouldn't we listen to her? We could get in trouble if she finds out we took Jimmy's backpack and ran off with it!

Sheen wasn't paying attention to him, instead he was digging through Jimmy's backpack. Carl wasn't none too happy with that, so instead of arguing with him, he got up out of the hole they were in, only to come face-to-face with an angry Libby.

Carl: Laughs nervously H-hi Libby! I was just leaving and I-

Libby: Oh you'll be leaving alright! Where's Sheen at!

Carl, with a shaky hand, pointed to where they were hiding. Libby stomped into the hole and dragged Sheen out of it.

Sheen: Oh hi Libby! Heh.. Nice weather we're having-

Libby: Not another word! Is everything that was in Jimmy's backpack in there?

Sheen nodded slowly and held the backpack out in front of him to show that he indeed had it. Libby took it, put it on her back, then did what Cindy instructed her to do when she found them.

-----Campsite-----

Cindy sat there in the sand, fiddling with the DD900, surely but slowly, figuring out where and what everything was. She turned around in time to see Libby coming up over a hill dragging Sheen and Carl by the backs of their shirts. Sheen was complaining while Carl had a guilty look on his face. Libby approached the camp and dropped the both of them onto the ground. She then took one final glance at them, turned, and headed over to the now sleeping Jimmy with the backpack.

Sheen: Man... What a bummer...

He quickly shut up when he spotted Cindy stomping dangerously toward them with a scowl on her face. Carl gulped and hid behind Sheen.

Sheen: What? Are you afraid of a girl?

Carl: N-no... Just Cindy!

Cindy stopped in front of Sheen and picked him up by the front of his shirt and drew him close to her face.

Cindy: I thought I told you that the food and water was for Jimmy! I also told you that you could have some water, but only sips! But did you listen? Noooooooo...

She dropped him down on the ground and gave him a cold, icy glare.

Cindy: The next time you do something like that, I'll make sure you never have kids in your future! Understand?

Sheen nodded in fear of what she would do.

Cindy turned around and headed back to the DD900 to continue working on it.

Sheen: I guess you were right Carl! We don't have to fear girls, only Cindy! Uh... Carl?

Carl had passed out onto the sand when Cindy had issued her threat toward Sheen.

Sheen: You continue to put me to shame Carl...

-----With Libby/Jimmy-----

Libby: Come on Jimmy, Cindy said you had to eat something!

Jimmy: But I'm not hungry!

Libby: Well at least drink something!

Jimmy: Fine...

Jimmy took the water bottle and drank almost half of the whole container. Libby just stared with her mouth open.

Libby: Not thirsty huh?

Jimmy: I guess I was thirstier than I thought...

Libby: Good, since you seemed to be thirsty, then eat something!

Jimmy just sighed, grabbed a candy bar from Libby's hand, unwrapped it, and ate it in two seconds flat. Libby just shook her head and told him he could go back to sleep.

Jimmy: Actually, I'm not all that tired anymore. Did you say Cindy was working on the DD900?

Libby nodded and pointed to where Cindy was.

Jimmy: I guess I could go over and help her, since I have nothing better to do in my spare time.

He got up and walked over to where Cindy was sitting, and sat down next to her. She was once again startled and she dropped the gadget.

Cindy: Lib- Jimmy? Aren't you supposed to be resting?

Jimmy: I was, and I'm well rested now! I came over to help you fix the DD900.

Cindy: Thanks Jimmy! Um.. Just one question... What does the DD900 stand for and what does it exactly do?

Jimmy: I'm glad you asked! It basically bends the very fabric of space and time to allow you to travel to different dimensions! That's where it got its name, the Dimension Diffuser 900!

Cindy: Oh... But why did you spend three long days on it?

Jimmy: Well, usually you say my inventions go haywire, so I wanted this one to be perfect. So I spent three days working on it to try and work out any bugs in it. I was going to test it out to make sure it worked properly after school on Monday, but I guess it got its test run when we got sent here. So I guess it does work right!

Cindy: Wow.. You spent 72 hours on it just so I wouldn't make fun of it for not working?

Jimmy nodded while staring ahead.

Cindy: So.. I guess it's my fault then?

Jimmy looked at her with a surprised look on his face.

Jimmy: No! It's not your fault at all... It's mine... I should've just taken the day to work on it and the night to sleep... Truth is, I was just trying to impress you..

Cindy: You-you were?

Jimmy nodded with a smile on his face.

Cindy: Well, I guess it worked since usually, I can figure out how your inventions work. But this, this is professional.

Jimmy: It is? Thanks!

Cindy smiled at him, then chuckled.

Jimmy: What? What's so funny?

Cindy: Nothing... It's just, doesn't this remind you of something that happened to us a while ago?

Jimmy: You mean being stranded on that island alone for about two days?

Cindy just nodded at him.

Jimmy: Yeah, I guess it does!

Cindy: But then, I never got to do what I've always wanted to do!

Jimmy: Do what?

Cindy: This!

She leaned in slowly, and locked her lips on his. Jimmy went wide-eyed for a few seconds, then relaxed and kissed back. After about one minute, they let go. Jimmy was still in a daze, but still managed to wrap his arms around her waist and pull her next to him, right against his body. Cindy wrapped her arm around him as they stared out at the sun. Libby was standing there with her mouth open, again, next to Sheen and Carl who seemed equally surprised.

Jimmy: Well, I guess we better get working on the DD900 then. As much as I'd hate to get out of this position.. But we can do this more often when we get home!

Jimmy purred to Cindy and he just giggled.

Cindy: Alright! Let's hurry!

Both of them started working on the DD900, rewiring circuits and whatnot..

-----The Next Morning-----

Jimmy: Well guys, are you ready to head home?

Libby: Oh I know I am!

Carl: Me too!

Sheen: Me three!

The other four just stared at him.

Sheen: What?

Jimmy: Nothing... Well, here goes nothing!

He punched in some coordinates and pushed the red button. Like before, they were sent spiraling into a vortex.

-----Retroville-----

Jimmy opened his eyes to see everybody else waking up as well. He groaned and sat up, took a look at his surroundings, and sighed. They were in Retroville.

Jimmy: Well guys, we're home! We're finally home!

Everybody else cheered while Cindy just hugged him in happiness.

Cindy: Promise me two things, alright?

Jimmy: Ok, what are they?

Cindy: One, you'll get rid of that stupid thing that sent us there in the first place, and two, don't ever let me catch you staying up three days in a row to build an invention just to impress me! I love you just for you, and only you!

Jimmy: I promise! But, I will have to build another hovercar since my other one got lost in that desert. But I'll leave that for another day.

He grabbed Cindy's hand and walked with her down to their cul-de-sac, with Sheen, Carl, and Libby in tow.

They were finally home...

The End

Ok guys, I'll post the summary of my next story here soon! The next one is going to be very funny! I hope so at least!
