While Jimmy and Sheen were slowly edging their way towards the menace, Cindy and Libby were staring at them like idiots.
"Um, Jimmy, isn't that just your cute baby brother?" Libby questioned.
Brobot turned his head around and saw Jimmy. "Jimmy! I knew you would come back! Let's play space tennis! Or laser tag! Play with me! Play with me! Play with me! Oooohhhhhhh, you brought your girlfriend!" At that last statement Jimmy and Cindy started blushing.
Three hours, five games of space tennis, three rounds of laser tag, and one game of extreme hide and seek later everyone was finally back on the spaceship. It was nine o'clock, and everyone was tired. Sheen, Carl, and Libby were asleep after their long day of fending off Brobot. The only reason Jimmy and Cindy were awake was because they had to drive the ship back home.
"If I put it in hyper drive we'll only miss curfew by a few minutes," Jimmy said while madly flipping switches.
"Jimmy, what were you going to ask me?" Cindy questioned while yawning.
"One sec, Cindy," Jimmy pushed a final button and changed the flying mode to auto-pilot. "Huh?"
"Before the flare went off. What were you going to ask me?" She could barely keep her eyes open; it had been such a long day.
"Well, um, I was going to ask you if, uh, you maybe wanted to, uh," Jimmy was stammering quite a bit and cleared his throat, "maybe go the dance with me?" Jimmy looked over at Cindy with hope in his eyes, but saw that she was asleep in her chair. Figures. Man, she is beautiful. Jimmy shook himself out of it and got a blanket from the storage unit. He threw it over her and smiled as she stopped shivering.
Jimmy was contemplating what to do with this Cindy situation when the computer started beeping. He turned his attention to the monitor and saw that he was reentering the Earth's atmosphere. He pulled the space car in for a landing. He then went around the car and woke everyone up. He took a moment to stare at Cindy before he woke her. He heard a noise behind him.
"Don't worry Jimmy. It'll happen," Libby said while walking over to his side.
"It's just so hard. Every time something ends up getting in the way. It's like," Jimmy paused and realized what he was saying. He looked to his side and saw Libby solemnly listening. He had never talked about this with anyone, not even Goddard. "I mean, I don't know what you're talking about." Jimmy looked away, fighting back a tear. He was surprised to feel a hand on his shoulder.
"Hang in there big brain," Libby said while giving him a playful shove. She started to walk away when she heard Jimmy call her name.
"Libby, how did it happen with you and Sheen?"
Libby turned around and thought for a second. "He told me how he felt." She turned around and walked away. For the first time, Jimmy was left with a problem that he couldn't solve.
