"Thanks Mom, you're the best! Love ya; by the way I have a date with Sheen later on tonight. We're going to watch Ultralord, Bye, Love ya." Libby hung up and handed the phone back to Cindy who gave it back to Cimmy, who went to another room to call Goddard.

"So you and Sheen are going out?" Cindy asked.

"Yep."

"And just guessing but by the looks of it you're going out with Carl." Cindy said directing her conversation to Brittany.

"Yep." Brittany said blushing slightly.

"Are you doing anything tonight?"

"Uh-huh, we're going to Retroland to Ride the Scream-O-Matic."

"And, to pet the new baby llama." Carl added.

 Cindy slouched down into her chair really low and tried to put on the saddest face she could. "Guess that means I'm the only one with nothing to do."

"Wanna come help me build Carl's robotic dog? Who knows maybe I'll blow something up," Jimmy said smiling all goofy-like.

"Oh goodie; I love seeing things blow up!" Cindy said smiling again.

"Don't get too excited there Rocket-girl, I haven't blown anything up in the invention stage yet."

"But I like seeing the colors when things explode." Cindy said as if she was REALLY disappointed.

"Then afterwards I could take you down to Dead-man's Valley and shoot off some one-of-a-kind Jimmy-works."

'"That would be even better." Cindy said. Her smile faded as her mother entered the room to more of an 'I'm smiling to be smiling.'

"Cindy dear, time for your friends to go on home. We have to be getting ready for church. During the whole dialog between Cindy and Jimmy were going on all of the others had finished their breakfast and were talking with each other.

"Ok Mom. Thanks, We saved you and Dad some pancakes they are still sitting over by the stove." Cindy and Jimmy, who had finished eating when the others did got up and Jimmy volunteered to take both of their plates to the sink. Then all the kids went to the living room and gathered their stuff. After that everyone started toward the door hugging and kissing each other saying good-bye. Everyone left and then Jimmy and Cindy said good-bye and kissed each other once more.

"I'll see you at five?" Jimmy asked.

"I'll be over then."

"Want me to pick you up?"

"I think I'll manage crossing the street."

"K, see ya then." Jimmy gave her one last good-bye kiss on her cheek.

Cindy closed the door behind him and went upstairs to her room to get dressed for church and pick out an outfit for that night.

"Cindy," her mom called up the stairs, "Ready, we gotta leave now!"

"Be right down," 'I'll just have to decide when I get back.' Cindy ran down the stairs and hopped in to the van with her mom and dad and headed off to church."

(By the way we are now at Libby's house.)

Libby walked into her house after walking home with Sheen and saying good-bye. She had been hanging out in her room since Cindy was at church she had nothing better to do. 'I think I'll wear my faded blue jeans with hearts on the pockets and that red shirt that says Cutie in cursive with a heat over the I.' The word is written in pink lettering with glitter outlining it. 'And of course I'll wear my Ultralord sneakers. Ok so now that that 's settled I have an hour to burn before Cindy gets home. I wonder what she meant a couple of days ago when she said that you should value family? And the trust thing, what's that about.' Libby sat on her bed and started to think about what she could have meant by that. Before she knew it she heard her mom knock on her door to tell her Cindy was on the phone.

 "Hello… How did I know? Tell ya what. Wear your blue jeans with that dark royal -blue t-shirt with the atom on it that he gave you back on your birthday last year. That way if he does blow something up you won't ruin your best clothes and if he doesn't you still look cute. No prob, bye girl." Libby hung up the phone and changed her clothes.

(Now we are at Sheen's house)

  " Hey, Mom, Libby's coming over tonight to watch the continuation of the last Ultralord episode. She's staying for diner."

"Libby? Is that the girl you've liked since preschool?"

"Yea, only now we are going out."

"Ok I'll keep my distance."

"Thanks, Mom you're the best!  By the way when is Dad coming home?"

"Next month."

"K, Do you love me?"

"Yes," His mom answered suspiciously.

"Then answer these questions quickly."

"Ok."

"Are you my mom?"

"Yes."

"Are you married to my dad?"

"Yes."

"Can I go to Paris Thursday?"

His mom thought about that for a second.

"I said answer these questions quickly."

"Yes you may go. How long will you be gone?"

"Two weeks. You REALLY are the best!"

"Who's going?"

  "Me, Libby, Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, and Brittany."

"How much s it gonna cost?"

"Free, Jimmy won a sweepstakes."

"Ok. You may go I know you want to."

"Thanks."

(Carl's house)

"Is Dad here?"

"Nope, not for a while."

"Cool, I'm gonna go to Retroland with Brittany at five tonight ok?"

"Is Jimmy or Sheen going?"

"No, just me and Brittany. Can I go to Paris for two weeks this Thursday?"

"Sure."

"Thanks Mom, and if Dad asks I'm at Sheen or Jimmy's while I'm in Paris Ok?"

"K, Have fun tonight."

(Jimmy's house)

"Hey Mom, Hey Dad." Jimmy said as he stepped into the living room after church. "Cindy's coming over at five and then we're going to Dead-man's Valley to shoot off some of my Jimmy-works."

"K, be back by midnight." Judy said.

"And while you're out can you pick me up some pie?" Hugh asked hopefully.

Judy leaned over and whispered something into Hugh's ear.

Hugh looks enlightened and says "Never mind."

"Well I'll be in my lab and room for now if anyone needs me. Oh, by the way I won a free paid-in-full trip to Paris for two weeks, Can I go?"

"Sure, as long as it's free."  Judy said.

"Oh, and I need you to take my friends and me to the airport Thursday night at seven O' clock."

"How many are going?"

"6 including me."

"I don't think my car will hold that many people."

"Can it hold 4?"

"I think so."

" Then Cindy and I will fly in my rocket. Then when we get to the airport you can put my rocket in your car."

"Whatever, my little genius."

"K, you know where I'll be. Tell me when Cindy gets here." Jimmy went to his lab for about 10 min. to set something up then he went to his room.

"Are you going out with Cindy again?" Goddard asked.

"Yep."

Goddard barked twice.

"Yes, Goddard you were right I do love her."

Goddard barked again and then whined"

"You'll see Cimmy, a lot, as soon as we get to Paris, plus I put her number on your speed dial and visa-versa."

Goddard barked three more times.

"I don't know if she can come tonight, call her then give the phone to Cindy and me."

Goddard went to the other side of the room and talked to Cimmy for a while in the meantime Jimmy got dressed.

"Here Jimmy"

"Hi Cindy, I just thought that you should know your new phone number is 546-6246 (You can have a bot if you can decode that)… You're welcome… Ok, love you, see ya tonight." Jimmy blew a kiss through the phone and Cindy giggled then did the same. "Bye." Then they hung up.
