Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron or any related characters.

I don't care who you are or what your problem is. Nobody has it tougher than me. For it's not just my life that's in danger. It's yours. And the other six billion people that live on this planet. You are all going to die. That is, unless I save you.

Seven years ago I was given a gift. A gift to see the future. That gift brought upon my life the greatest curse that anyone could imagine. I saw the destruction of the earth. I saw the pathetic life that I would one day lead. A life in a world that is not worth living in. It is my mission to stop that future from occurring.

And how do I do that? I have to destroy a man named John Duncans. I guy that I've known for five years. I guy that saved my life. I guy that I've looked in the eyes. I guy who has a dad that loves him. I don't know if I can do it. I've already failed once at killing him. Who's to say that I won't fail again?

I have no instructions. No futuristic weapons. No highly assembled team of government agents to help me. All I have is my girlfriend. She's the only one who knows about this. She's the only one I can trust. And so Cindy and I must train ourselves to save the world.

I have no vacations, no break from this hellish life. Every day that I wake up I look down at my palm and see the burn that I received seven years ago. A burn that my future self gave to me to know that the vision had been real. A burn that symbolized all that I had to accomplish. It is a painful reminder of my mission.

That burn is what keeps me from denying all of this. That burn, that stupid circle of melted flesh, is what makes me waste my best years in a damn lab, training for the day that I must fight John. And that day is soon.

I can't explain it, but I know. The day of our final confrontation is almost here. It's the same feeling that told me that John was the enemy. That gut feeling that is never wrong. The day of reckoning has come. That day is today. Today is the day that the fate of the world is sealed. Today is my eighteenth birthday.
