Disclaimer: I should own Jimmy Neutron, but I dont't.
Jimmy and Cindy reached Eustace's home in just a couple of minutes. Jimmy grabbed her arm and stopped her. He pulled her towards him and gave her a deep, long kiss. "You are one hell of a pilot," he told her. She nodded her head, slightly dazed. "Anyway, remember that this guy's a millionaire and a murderer. His security system is probably going to be very advanced. Let's be very careful."
Cindy shook herself out of her trance. "What did Libby pack?"
"Shrink ray, pen laser, grappling hook, some smoke bombs, and I threw in the hypno-beam I had with me," he said. He tossed Cindy the hypno-beam. He put the laser in one pocket and the smoke bombs in the other. Jimmy also took the grappling hook out. He slung the backpack back around his shoulders.
They crept forward very carefully. Jimmy was about to throw the grappling hook onto the roof when he thought better of it. "Cindy, you throw it, you're stronger." Jimmy handed her the grappling hook as he took her hypno-beam.
Cindy nodded and took a deep breath. She swung it over her head very carefully and threw it onto the roof. It flew up and caught onto the roof's wall. "Damn, how do you know how to do that?"
"It's similar to the nunchaku. I learned how to use one of those in tai-chi class," she explained as she continued moving forward, towards the mansion. When she reached the wall she stopped. "You go first," she told Jimmy. He nodded and climbed the wall. Cindy soon followed. When she reached the top Jimmy pulled her up and put the grappling hook back in his backpack. He handed Cindy the hypno-beam.
"Don't fire it unless a guard sees us or I tell you to," Jimmy said to her. Cindy nodded her head.
Jimmy walked across the roof until he found a window. He bent down and looked through it. "I don't see any guards or anything." He pulled out his laser and cut around the window, into the metal ceiling. "Get ready to grab it when it falls," he told Cindy. When he finished cutting around it the window fell to the floor. Cindy lunged down and grabbed it. Jimmy sighed and wiped his forward while Cindy just lay there.
"It's kind of heavy!" she yelled to him.
"Oh! Sorry," he told her as he reached down and helped pull it up.
Cindy and Jimmy both stared down the hole. "How far down is it?" Cindy asked.
"I'd guess about ten feet," Jimmy said as he gulped. "Grab my hands. You can lower me down. When we're stretched out as far as we can I'll let go and fall. Then you jump and I'll catch you."
Cindy reached into his pocket and pulled out his laser. "Put this in between your teeth and bite down on it," she instructed him.
"Why?" Jimmy asked as he took it.
"That drop is going to hurt. I don't want you to scream and attract any attention," she explained.
"I won't scream," Jimmy told her in an agitated voice.
"This is no time for any macho stuff. Just do it!" she yelled.
Jimmy did as he was told, a little scared of her. Cindy lowered him as far down as she could. When she couldn't stretch out any more she nodded her head and Jimmy let go. Cindy heard a muffled shout.
"You ok?" she asked him.
Jimmy took the pen laser out of his mouth and tried to stand up. "Yeah, I guess so. My legs really hurt though," he said as he took off his backpack. "Damn it!" he shouted.
"What?" Cindy yelled down to him.
"I crushed the shrink ray and the smoke bombs," he said sadly.
"I'm coming down, make sure you catch me," Cindy said as she clutched the hypno-beam tightly. She definitely did not want to crush that.
"Don't worry, I'll catch you," Jimmy said. Cindy thought about that for a second. "What, what are you doing?" he asked right before she fired the hypno-beam at him.
"You will catch me when I fall," Cindy commanded.
"I will catch you," he repeated. Cindy jumped down and Jimmy caught her.
"Wake up!" she shouted into his ear.
Jimmy shook his head and looked around before remembering what had happened. "Oh, real mature. I would have caught you," Jimmy told her as the turned around.
"Freeze Neutron!" Eustace shouted. He was standing at the other side of the hallway, holding a gun at them. Cindy dropped her hypno-beam. They both held their hands up. But first Jimmy had reached into his pocket and grabbed something.
"I wouldn't shoot that if I were you, unless you want to die," Jimmy said smugly, opening his hand up to reveal a banana.
"Explain yourself, Neutron," a puzzled Eustace asked. Cindy was also staring at him with a confused look on her face.
"In my hand I hold a very powerful explosive device, capable of destroying everything within a quarter mile radius. All I have to do is peel off this protective layer," Jimmy said as he brandished the banana.
Oh my god, he's lost it, Cindy thought.
"Neutron, it's just a banana," Eustace told him.
"No it's not," Jimmy quickly shot back.
"Are you serious? Any idiot can see that's it a banana. It's probably left over from your lunch," Eustace continued.
"Would you be willing to bet your life on it?" Jimmy asked as he started to peel the banana. An evil grin came on his face.
"Actually, yes I would. Peel the damn banana for all I care," Eustace said while chuckling.
Jimmy stood there for a second, not doing anything. "Are you sure?" he asked nervously.
"Are you done?" Eustace asked.
"Yeah, I am," Jimmy said as Eustace led him and Cindy away. Cindy stared at him like he was an idiot. "At least I tried," Jimmy said. Cindy just shook her head sadly, not believing that she had a crush on this guy.
