Four hours later Jimmy, Cindy, and Goddard were on the hover car. Jimmy flipped the usual switches and they rose into the air. Jimmy programmed the auto-pilot to take them back to Retroville. He spun his chair around to see Cindy standing by his side. She bent down and gave him a kiss.
"I'm proud of you, Jimmy. You did the right thing back there, dropping the gun," she told him. Jimmy got up and grabbed he hand. They both sat down in the back.
"Yeah, I guess it was the right thing to do. But knowing Calamitous, he'll bust out of jail and we'll be going through this all over again in a few months," Jimmy said sadly.
"So what? We'll just beat him again. And again, and again if that's what we have to do. Admit it, we're a hell of a team," Cindy said.
"Yeah, we do work well together," Jimmy agreed as he put his arm around her. "I'm sorry for all of this. I'm the one who got you into this. I used you as a hostage, and look what you did. You were amazing back there, Cind. But then again, you've always amazed me."
"Jimmy, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You can be a show-off, a jerk, have an ego the size of Mars," Cindy started.
"Get to the point," Jimmy muttered, a little agitated.
Cindy let out a little laugh. "But things are never boring when you're around."
Jimmy and Cindy lay in each other's arms for a few minutes, just staring at the sunset.
"You know, I want to say this without being hypnotized," Jimmy started. "I love you, Cynthia Aurora Vortex. You are the most amazing girl I've ever met. I knew that you were special the second I met you. It took me a while to realize it, but I love you. You are the bravest, smartest, prettiest girl in the world. I know it sounds clichéd, but I really mean it. I've always been happiest when I'm with you, even when we were fighting.
You're the one thing that I could never figure out. It's amazing when you think about it. I can practically play God. I can twist the hands of time and bend the rules of science, but I could never quite figure you out. Every thing I found out about you was like opening a dozen Christmas presents. I can't imagine ever feeling this way about another girl. It's like, it's like, I can't even put it into words. It's just like we're meant to be. Like it's a rule of science or something. You just complete me," Jimmy exasperatedly told her.
"Jimmy, I love you too, from the bottom of my heart. I think deep down I always did, I was just too jealous to admit it. I was the smartest kid before you came here, and I thought I was happy then. But I felt like there was something missing. When you moved to Retroville that emptiness got filled up. You challenged me. You made me try to be the best that I could be.God, when I think back to all the years we've wasted fighting. Let's never go back to that. This is so much better. I love you, James Isaac Neutron," Cindy told him.
Both teens sat there in silence, their arms wrapped around each other, tears in their eyes. After four years of arguing, fighting, and denying their feelings they could finally open up. It was like a giant weight had been lifted off of their shoulders. Never again would they have to hide their feelings or try to convince themselves that they hated each other. It was a moment that happens only once in a lifetime. It was a moment of pure joy and happiness, a moment with no worries or fears. They just sat there, happier than they had ever imagined that they could be.
"Jimmy, I hear music," Cindy whispered into his ear.
"I do too, whenever you're near me," Jimmy whispered back.
"No, I really do hear music," Cindy said as she gently pushed him away. They looked behind them and saw Goddard playing a romantic song.
"Goddard!' Jimmy yelled, but he couldn't help but laugh. "That reminds me, let's see if we got some evidence against Calamitous," Jimmy said as he ran over and pushed some buttons on Goddard.
Cindy crossed her fingers as Jimmy fast forwarded. "Man, the boss is finally going to kill those stupid kids. It'll be nice to have them out of our hair," one of the guards said.
"Yeah, old Calamitous really did do a good job of framing them. Even if we did do most of the work," another said.
"Yes! We got it! We're in the clear!" Jimmy yelled as he ran over and enveloped Cindy in a huge hug.
"We did it, Jimmy. Now let's just get home," Cindy said. "I can't wait to sleep in my own bed."
Jimmy ran over to the control panel and saw that they were less than an hour from Retroville. He grabbed the speaker and turned some knobs on his radio.
"This is Retroville Police, what is your problem?" an officer said.
"This is James Isaac Neutron speaking. Please put your commanding officer on the line," Jimmy instructed. He heard some shouting on the other end.
"Mr. Neutron, you have got a hell of a lot of explaining to do," the commander angrily shouted.
"Listen carefully. I am coming back to Retroville within an hour, and so is Cindy. Please hold your fire, we come peacefully. But I want you to listen to this first. I am innocent. Professor Calamitous framed me. I ran away from you and the other officers to gather proof, which I have. Listen," Jimmy said as he played the recordings that Goddard had.
"Neutron, just get over here. We are going to have to have a long talk about this," the commander said.
An hour later Jimmy and Cindy were in police custody. Both were being interrogated separately. Their stories matched up perfectly. Upon hearing Goddard's audio recordings the police agreed that the teens might be innocent. A special S.W.A.T. team was sent to the Amazon to capture Calamitous.
Jimmy and Cindy were waiting in a jail cell the next day when the chief of police came over. "Alright, you're stories check out. Calamitous is in government custody. Upon examining his lair we found evidence that linked him to the crimes. It was wrong of you to flee from the authorities, but we realize that it was under special circumstances. It will take a few days to officially clear everything up, but we are releasing you," he told them.
He opened the cell door and Jimmy and Cindy walked out of the police station to find their parents there. They ran over and embraced their families.
"Well, it will take a little while for things to go back to normal, but we did it," Jimmy told Cindy.
"Yep. I'm just glad this is all over. And we're definitely a couple now, right?" Cindy asked.
"You bet. See you tomorrow, honey," Jimmy told her.
"I'll be counting the minutes, dear," Cindy replied. They shared a quick kiss before heading home. Both hopped into their beds and immediately fell asleep, glad that their whole ordeal was over.
