It was now Friday, only two weeks remained until the big Spring Fling. Everyone was sitting down in Ms. Fowl's classroom, waiting for the bell to ring.

"You know, you guys still owe me ten bucks," Sheen said with a scowl.

"Sheen, come on. I think you owe us more than ten bucks. What about that time that I made you super-smart for that math test?"

"It nearly killed me and destroyed the town!" Sheen yelled.

"Well, if you're going to nitpick," Jimmy said. Just then the bell rang and Mr. Willoughby's voice came over the intercom. After the Pledge of Allegiance was recited he said the usual announcements, but with one small addition.

"Will Cynthia Vortex and James Neutron please report to the office," he stated.

Jimmy and Cindy looked at each other and shrugged. I haven't blown anything up lately, Jimmy thought. I haven't kicked Jimmy's ass lately, Cindy thought. They hopped off of their seats and made their way to the Principal's office. They took a seat and waited in silence for Mr. Willoughby to arrive. After what seemed like hours he finally entered the room and took a seat behind his desk.

"Children, I," was all he had time to say before Jimmy and Cindy interrupted.

"Sheen did it!" they both yelled in unison.

"Um, you guys aren't in trouble. I was just wondering if you guys could do me a favor."

"I guess. What is it?" Jimmy questioned.

"Well, it turns out we don't have anyone to decorate the gym for the Spring Fling. I was wondering if maybe you guys wanted to do it."

"Will we get extra credit?" Cindy asked.

"Of course not," Principal Willoughby replied flatly.

"Deal!" Jimmy yelled, which earned him quite a nasty look from Cindy.

"Do you mind if our friends help us?" Cindy questioned.

"Hey, the more the merrier. You guys can do it after school the night before the dance. Just make sure you're out of there by four. And don't wait until the last minute to start planning."

"Ok. Can we head back to class now?" Jimmy asked.

"Yes, be on your way."

Jimmy and Cindy made their way back to class and took a seat. A few hours later it was time for recess and the gang met outside.

"You guys wanna help decorate the dance?" Jimmy and Cindy asked. Libby, Carl, and Sheen looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"That's great! I was thinking that we should make it a galaxy theme. You know, planets, comets, stuff like that. What's better than a dance under the stars?" Jimmy decided to pitch his idea first. He braced himself for Cindy's reaction.

"Neutron, that is the dumb-, you know what? That's actually not too bad an idea," Cindy replied. She had too admit, it sounded pretty cool.

"Yeah, the dance will literally be out of this world!" Carl shouted. Nobody laughed, and he could have sworn he heard some crickets chirping. "Really, nothing? Come on, that was classic!"

"Anyway, that idea does rock," Libby said, and Sheen quickly nodded his head in agreement.

"Well, we can get this done in no time with all of us helping out. Libby will be in charge of music, I'll take care of decorations, Carl and Sheen will do the food, and Neutron will make some cool inventions we can use. Everybody got it?" Cindy said.

"You mean you're actually going to use my inventions? You're not worried that it might get out of control and break one of your precious nails?" Jimmy retorted with a smirk.

"Ok, first of all, you are going to triple test all of your inventions in your lab. Second of all, you're really getting worse at the sarcastic remarks."

"So sorry, m'lady," Jimmy said while giving her a bow.

"That was better, keep practicing," Cindy said as she walked away. "We'll start work tomorrow, let's meet at the Candy Bar after school. See you guys later. Try not to kill yourself in the lab, big brain." Then who'll I get to take me to the dance?

"Don't worry, I won't," Jimmy said, a small smile spreading across his face. He ran after Cindy and followed her home, they did leave on the same street after all.

"Come on Libs, Ultralord is starting soon."

"Right behind ya," Libby said while rolling her eyes.

I need a girlfriend, Carl thought before heading home.
