Jimmy was in his room, pacing around. "Why, why would he save me?" he asked no one as he continued walking around. He tried sitting down and doing some homework, but he couldn't focus.

"God! Things were tough enough when I knew who the enemy was. Now I don't even know if John's the one I'm supposed to fight!" he said to himself. He lay down on his bed and looked at the ceiling. "Now would be a good time for you to contact me!" he shouted. He waited a couple of minutes but nothing happened. "Stupid future self.

Just then Cindy came bursting into his room. "Remember me?" she angrily shouted.

Jimmy slapped his hand to his forehead. "Oh, that's right. I'm sorry; I forgot I was supposed to meet you in the lab."

Cindy was about to chew him out some more, but she noticed the pained look on Jimmy's face. "Jimmy, what's wrong?" she asked as she sat beside him.

"John saved my life when I was out on that walk," he quietly told her.

"What!" she exclaimed. Jimmy told her what had happened while he was out. "Wow. He really saved your life?'

"Yeah. That doesn't make my job any easier," Jimmy said to her.

They sat in silence for a moment. "Are you sure that John is the enemy here? I mean, he's been doing a lot of nice things lately," Cindy suggested.

Jimmy shook his head. "I know, I thought about that too. But it doesn't make sense. The headaches I get whenever he's around. The gut feeling I have. That huge fight we had last year. That evil air he has around him. The way we always argue."

"You know, we used to argue a lot too," Cindy reminded him.

"Yes, but I heavily doubt that I'm in love with John," Jimmy told Cindy as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck.

"So, basically you have no idea what to do," Cindy told him, summing it up.

Jimmy thought about that for a moment. "Well, have I ever really had any idea of what is going on?"

"It's times like these that I wish you hadn't," he started before clamping his mouth shut.

"You wish I hadn't what?" Cindy angrily asked.

"Wished you hadn't gotten rid of your ponytail. It was so cute, it always made me feel better," he said as he kissed her again. He was glad to see that Cindy believed him. I wish you hadn't destroyed my only link to the future.

After a few moments of snuggling, Cindy stood up and headed towards the door. "Well, I better get going. I have to make dinner tonight," she told Jimmy as she kissed him on the cheek.

"Alright, see you tomorrow," he sadly said as he lay back down on his bed. He grabbed the ball that was lying on his floor and started tossing it up in the air. He couldn't help but realize that this was how the whole thing had started. Five years ago. Has it really been that long?

As Jimmy caught the ball he suddenly realized something. He jumped off of his bed and ran towards his desk. He grabbed a notebook and quickly scribbled something down. "How could I have been so stupid? What if he wants to me to owe him?" he shouted to himself.
