(If this were a show half of the screen would show Jimmy's living room and the other half would show Cindy's bedroom.)
"A what," Carl, Sheen, Libby, and Brittany all asked at once?
"A triple-date," Jimmy and Cindy said in unison.
At Jimmy's house
"You know Jim, if I didn't have bad hearing I could swear you just said we were going on a triple date Friday." Carl said.
"Yea, but uh… problem, I don't like anyone." Sheen commented.
"Does the name, Libby mean anything to you?" Sheen giggled nervously.
"You know come to think of it I don't like no one either."
"Carl, you just used double negatives. Therefore yes you do, let's see… Brittany?"
"How do you know, only-"Sheen started but was interrupted by the radio speaker's energetic voice.
"That's right, kids, just call up 1-800-555-love, and you could win a 'no adults allowed' trip for you and two friends to go to the Bahamas or 1st prize gets a two week vacation paid in full to Paris. Food, clothing, and a Hilton's Resort suite are all provided for you; Plus an endless supply of spending money for you and five other friends. That's 1-800-555-love"
"That is so perfect, Goddard, phone," Jimmy said jumping toward Goddard.
"And what is your name young man?"
"Jimmy Neutron."
"And why do you think that you should win?"
"There's this girl I like and my 2 friends like her two friends. I would really like for us to spend more time together."
"Thank you Jimmy Neutron. We'll call you back in ten minutes if you win.
At Cindy's house
"Oh, Cindy, here's my celli! Call this number right away! 1-800-555-love."
"Thanks, but, Cimmy, give me the phone girl." Cimmy gives Cindy the phone and Cindy dialed the number. "Yes… Cindy Vortex…There's this guy I like and my 2 friends like his two friends. I would really like for us to get to know each other… ok thanks." She hung up the phone and Cimmy trotted to the other side of the room and called up Goddard. "Hey, you didn't tell me why I should call; oh, well.
"Ok that's nice but did you just say we were going on a triple-date?" Brittany asked.
"Yea, like who are we going with and when" Libby added.
"We'll go Friday, and Jimmy and I would go as a couple. So would Brittany and Carl and Libby and Sheen."
"But I can't let Sheen/Carl know I like him!" Brittany and Libby said in unison.
'Man I should give Jimmy a nickname.' I was talking to Jimmy and he said they both like you."
At Jimmy's house 10 minutes later
"So then Ultralord chased after the people of Transvilan when."
"That's nice, Sheen." They heard the phone ring. "I'll get that…. Hello…oh…ok, thanks." He hung the phone up. "We…won!" All the boys started jumping around. (Or… whatever it is that boy's do. when they are excited)
"Which one, Paris or Bahamas" Sheen asked? "Cause Ultralord is going to be in Paris next week."
"We are going to PARIS!"
"When are we going to leave?"
"Thursday at 8:00" Jimmy answered.
"Ultra-sweet" Sheen exclaimed!
"And I get to know how to say 'I love llamas' in French!"
"Uh… Carl, French is the second most common language in town, why don't you just ask someone. Let's go tell the girls! Oh, yea the triple date is canceled."
Cindy's house, about 15 minutes after Cindy called.
"Well I guess we didn't win, huh?" Cindy said. "Oh well who wants to invite the guys anyway" she said enthusiastically, however there wad an allusion of downheartedness in her voice.
"Cheer up, Girl. Your mom probably woulda said no anyway."
Cindy's mom yelled from the downstairs "Cindy, honey, its 1:00 in the morning and Jimmy's here. Normally I would tell him to come back tomorrow, but since his curfew is eleven I figure it must be important."
'What is Jimmy doing over here at this hour?' "K, Mom, be right down! Come on Libby, you to Brittany." Cindy and the girls went downstairs. "Hi, Jimmy. Carl, Sheen."
"Hi Sheen," Libby said.
"Hey, Carl" Brittany said.
"Come on in, it has to be cold out there at this time of night."
"I'll go get you all a snack, so I'm not in your way." Cindy's mom said.
All six of them walked in and sat down on Cindy's living room furniture. Cindy had one loveseat and one couch. Brittany, Carl, Libby, and Sheen (in that order) sat on the couch; While Cindy and Jimmy sat on the loveseat.
"Do you girls ever listen to Young Radio 77.7?" Jimmy said still sitting next to Cindy and holding her hand.
"That's, like, my favorite station." Libby exclaimed.
"Is not, it is Ultra-lord's and my favorite station." Sheen yelled. 'We like the same station, cool!'
'Oh how cute all three of us like the same station.' Libby thought.
"Whatever, anyways we called in for a giveaway sweepstakes, and well I won a trip to Paris for five friends and myself. We have an unlimited supply of spending money, paid first class tickets there and back, and 3 rooms at Hilton Resorts."
"When do we leave?" All three girls asked at once.
"Thursday at 8:00 pm," Jimmy said.
Cindy's mom came in with a plateful of treats.
"Mom, can I go, PLEASE?" Cindy had that look on her face that said this was something she really wanted to do.
"Of coarse you can, it isn't like we have to pay your way there."
"Thank you SO much mom!" She ran up to her mother giving her a really big hug and a kiss on the cheek. For a second Jimmy's brain went back to when they hated each other and he told himself that he wished he could be Cindy's mom just then. However he caught himself and remembered that they would have 2 weeks together.
"Cool anyway I need everyone at my house Thursday at 6:00. Cindy, please bring Cimmy, Goddard would kill me if you didn't. Oh yea I almost forgot, we'll be gone 2 weeks."
Libby, Carl, Sheen, and Brittany all said at once "Count me out."
Jimmy was speechless. "Why? An opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime!"
"Uh, Jimmy, you and Cindy get at least straight A+'s. us… well, we don't."
"Oh, come on guys! I'll… I'll…. Think, think, think, BRAINBLAST!
I'll ask Mrs. Sanchez to make it an extra-credit project to complete instead of all the work we miss. We will have fun while we are there…"
"And when we come back we'll, Jimmy and I, do a lot of research. Then we will all give a group presentation of what we learned on the 'trip.' Cindy said.
"Couldn't have said it better myself, sweetie. What do you all say?"
All of the others agreed.
"Do they have llamas in France?" Everyone laughed at Carl's question, including Carl.
"Man these snacks are making me thirsty, anyone wanna Purple Flurp?" Everyone wanted one, Diet for Carl, so Cindy left to get them. Her mom was in the kitchen doing the dishes. "Mom, can the guys stay over tonight as well, we have a lot of planning to do?'"
"Sure, honey, but remember girls on one side of the living room guys on the other."
"MOM," Cindy walked back into the living room her hands full of Purple Flurp cans. "Come get one. Jimmy, why don't you and the guys run over to your house and get your sleeping bags? And get back here as soon as you can. We have business to discus.
"Good idea we'll be right back." All of the guys went over to Jimmy's house and got their stuff. While they did that the girls chatted and Cindy went upstairs to get pillows and stuff. While she was upstairs her mom was doing the laundry. (I wish my mom got around that quick, and then I wouldn't have to do my chores)
"Cindy, are you and Jimmy an item now?" Her mother asked.
"We are going out, yes."
"Just wondering, you can go on downstairs."
"Love you mom. G'night."
"I love you too." She gave Cindy a kiss on the forehead.
Cindy got back downstairs just in time to open the door for the boys. Then Cindy, holding Jimmy's hand, and the boys walked into the living room and got back in their places.
"Ok, there are 3 rooms and six kids. The rooms have two beds in them. We will have to be paired in twos. Obviously, since Cindy and I are going out we will be together. Does anyone else in this room like someone in this room?" No one said a word. "If not partners will be Sheen and Carl and Libby and Brittany.
'Oh man! I wanted to be with Carl, Jimmy and Cindy get to be with the love of their life, Oh yea they know they like each other' Brittany thought bitterly. Similar thoughts ran through Sheen, Carl, and Libby's heads.
"Does anyone abject to the pairs?" Cindy asked.
'Come on, just say it!!' "I do."
All eyes turned to Brittany. "What?"
"I do NOT wanna room partner that won't even listen to me cause' her ears are covered with headphones!"
Libby who wasn't paying attention but listening to her new, 'Handsome Men with Attitude', CD took them off and asked Brittany to repeat what she had just said. Brittany winked at her real quick and repeated what she had just said. Libby acted mad and the pairs got switched around.
"Ok how about Libby and Carl and then Brittany you can be with Sheen. Is that not ok with anyone?"
"Yea, it is TOTALLY NOT ok with me! I am NOT gonna listen to that guy talk about llamas all night."
"Ok then we'll have to have Sheen and Libby share a room. Carl, Brittany you two are together. Is everyone happy, at least a little?"
