Chapter two:- Graduation Celebration
acosta pérez josé ramiro- Thanks for telling me I was not aware of her dad actualy being in an episode but for this story let's just say he didn't...
Jimmy and Cindy slowly started walking toward the lab. Cindy couldn't stop staring at the ring. One part of her was thrilled. She was engaged to Jimmy, Jimmy! She was absolutly in love with him but she still wasn't quite sure how he felt. She was also very upset that she had an arranged marrige. She wanted him to purpose to her, to marry her because he loved her not because he was forced to.
Jimmy was also feeling that way too. He was happy he was engaged to Cindy but at the same time he hated it.
As they approached the lab, they looked at each other.
"Well, how do we tell them?" Cindy asked him.
"I don't know. Do we.. hold hands as we enter or what?"
"Uhhh... I don't think so. I may be engaged to you but that doesn't mean I like you." She thought about how that sounded for a moment then shook her head. "Why don't we just go in and say it?"
"Works for me." They walked into the lab where music was already playing and everyone was messing around with some of his inventions, mainly the cheese ray.
"Hey what took you two so long?" Libby asked as she turned down the music. Jimmy and Cindy both looked down. "Well?" Carl and Sheen took the paper bag and started to eat all the food. Cindy just held up her hand and showed them all the ring. Libby went wide eyed. "Damn girl!" She said taking her hand and examining the ring more closely. Even Sheen and Carl were wide eyed. They all knew that Jimmy was her fiancé just by the way he was blushing.
"Okay dude not exactly the way I would've told a girl I like her but," Sheen whispered to Jimmy. "if it works..."
"I didn't purpose!" He yelled out.
"Wait okay now I'm confused. If you didn't purpose then how are you engaged?" Carl said with a really confused look on his face.
"It was arranged every since Nerdtron moved here. Only our parents didn't tell us." Cindy announced hanging her head down.
"Wait, your parents set you guys up with an arranged marrige?" They nodded. "What? Don't they know that we don't live in like 1532?" Libby exagerated a little. Cindy nodded.
"Apparently it's been a tradition for years and generations in my family and I guess they couldn't find anyone better than Nerdtron for me to marry." Cindy looked at Jimmy who was glaring at her. "Oh give it up." She glared back at him.
"Man this isn't fair." Sheen said. "You get to marry your dream girl and I might not even get to go to college with mine!" Sheen threw his arms up in frustration.
"Sheen!" Jimmy yelled as he started to blush. "I mean... I don't know what your talking about."
"Smooth Jimmy, real smooth." Libby said sarcasticly.
"So wait a minute, you two have to get married?" Carl asked. They all nodded. "Yeah... That's kind of stupid."
"That's what we've been saying!" Sheen yelled at him.
"Well sorry if I was not listening because I was playing with the chesse ray!"
"Well why don't we forget about getting married and celebrate our graduation?" Libby suggested.
"Yeah." Cindy said starting to brighten up. "Let's party!" She turned up the volume on the stereo and started to dance. They all danced and messed around with old inventions for around an hour then Sheen tapped his purple flurp can with a plastic spoon.
"Excuse me everybody but I'd like to make a toast." Everyone grabbed their can on purple flurp. "I'd like to make a toast to all of us. We have all graduated from school and have more or less survived the teachers. Especialy the one who kicked me out of french because I 'supposidly' couldn't speak french when everyone knows I can oh and that teacher that gave me detention for eating glue, oh oh oh and that teacher who selfishly got me off the flag pole when I climbed up there during-" Jimmy came up and tapped Sheen's shoulder.
"Umm Sheen...?"
"Oh. Well here's to us." Everyone raised their can and took a drink. Then the music continued to play. Libby noticed Cindy sitting by herself on the couch just staring at her ring. She walked over to talk to her.
"You're suppose to be having fun girl."
"I know but now everytime I look at Jimmy, I keep thinking 'there goes my future husband'. I hate this." She sighed heavily.
"I thought you'd be happy. I mean your marrying the guy you've had a crush on for years and years." Libby put her arm around Cindy's shoulders.
"Yeah but if I did marry him, I wanted it to be because he loves me not because he has to." Just then Jimmy came up to the couch.
"Hey Libby can I talk to Cindy for a minute?" Libby nodded, hugged Cindy and got up.
"Sheen put that down before you hurt yourself!" She yelled as she walked off.
"Owww!" Sheen yelled in the background. Jimmy sat down next to Cindy. They sat quietly for a while.
"Umm..." He started but nothing came out.
"If that's all you wanted to say, I'm going to go talk to people who didn't ruin my life." Cindy stood up to leave. Jimmy grabbed her wrist and yanked her back down to the couch. "What was that for!"
"I ruined your life?" He yelled "You think I want to marry you? That this was my idea?"
"Well..no but that doesn't matter! You're the one I have to be married to!"
"You know! You're just so...!" He sighed and leaned back.
"Jimmy?"
"What?"
"Can you let go of my hand?" She asked. He didn't even realize he was still holding it. He blushed and let go immidiatly. "Thanks."
"Look after the party, can we talk?" She thought a moment and nodded. "Okay..." He stood up and went over to Carl. Cindy slowly stood up and went to try to enjoy herself.
At about one in the morning, everyone started to leave. Cindy of course stayed behind to talk to Jimmy as promised. They stood there for a bit picking up garbage and throwing it out. They would take a quick glanse at each other but nothing more than that. Cindy couldn't stand it anymore so she spoke up.
"So what are we gonna do?"
"What do you mean? We're gonna get married." He said
"Yeah I know that but I mean about us. Are we going to be a real married couple or date other people while we're married. I mean I want a family. I want kids and that's not gonna happen being married to you." Jimmy smiled and gave her a 'that's what you think' look. She had to laugh a little. "Forget it."
"I don't know I mean I never really thought about that." He sighed. He walked over to her. "We can see other people yes, but the question is how many sane people would be willing to get tangled up in our world with us being married but not together?"
"Good point."
"I know. I am a genius." She lightly hit him playfully. "Hey! That was uncalled for!"
"It was so called for!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah." Jimmy reached down to her ribs and started tickling her.
"Hey!" She yelled between giggles."Stop!" She finaly got free and ran. But Jimmy caught up with her grabbed her. They both fell down to the floor him half ontop of her. They were both laughing until they realized their positions. Jimmy for the first time tonight (or this morning whatever) looked into her eyes. They both smiled and for a moment thought the marrige may work. He brushed a few stay strands of hair away from her face and started leaning down. But just then, Sheen came banging on the door.
"Hey! Hey let me in! I forgot something! Let me in!" Jimmy sighed and got up and let Sheen in. He started looking through a pile of garbage and finaly came out with some piece of trash in his hand then walked back out. "Thanks!" He yelled. Jimmy shook his head and shut the door.
"That's Sheen for ya." Jimmy said smiling at Cindy who was still laying on the floor. She slowly stood up and walked toward the door.
"Well I better be going. We may be engaged but I still don't think my parents would aprove of me being here to long. You know parents and what they think." Jimmy smiled
"Yeah. I'll talk to you tomorrow." He led her out and shut the door.
