Look now the stars are appearing
So close we almost can touch their soft glistening eyes
They're just angels in disguise...- From "Flying With the Eagles"

Chapter 7

Cindy's True Feelings

Cindy was shocked. Had he actually slammed the door in her face? Wait...why did she even care? This was Neutron who was in a tight fix...not herself or Libby.

Because you love him.

Cindy frowned at the sudden voice in the back of her head. Don't make me laugh.

Don't fight it. You know it's true. What Mrs. Fenton said WAS the truth and you know it, The voice argued back.

Shut-up!

Timmy watched closely as Cindy shook her head and headed for the door. As soon as she left, he looked down at Goddard. "Something's wrong with this picture. I thought they liked each other!"

"BARK!" Goddard lifted his neck and a little small TV screen clicked on.

Timmy watched with sudden interest at the scenes that flashed before him.

Brobot: (Happily) Jimmy loves Cindy! Jimmy Loves Cindy! (We see Cindy and Libby laughing) Jimmy has a girlfriend!

Jimmy: (angrily) Brobot!

The next scene showed how Jimmy was acting during the first activation of his experimental love potion.

"Bark, bark!" Goddard yipped, excitedly as the scenes ended and looked at Timmy.

"Thanks, Goddard," he smiled. He let out another laugh as Goddard licked his left cheek. "Come on, let's pay a little visit to Jimmy..."

----------------------
"Jimmy?" Timmy called, cautiously as he entered the Fenton's lab. "Whoa..."

He stared around the lab with amazement. Jimmy jumped a little, startled when he heard his dog. He turned around, sharply. "Timmy! What are you doing down here!"

"Dude, it's okay. You can have Cindy."

"What on earth are you getting at?" Jimmy demanded, stubbornly, his cheeks turning a slight pink color.

"I'm just saying that you can have her. I'm...over her now. Besides, I know for a fact that you're in love with her!"

"Th-that's a lie!"

Timmy rolled his eyes upon seeing the obvious blush that appeared on Jimmy's face. "Whatever, dude. Goddard showed me a few clips of you and Cindy. And I know for another fact that Goddard's programmed to show the truth."

A short silence followed suit. "Well, I'll leave you to do...whatever it is you were doing..." he smirked and left the lab.

Jimmy let out a heavy sigh and set back to work. Goddard shook his head and flew off to find Cindy.

-----------------

Cindy let out a weary sigh as she sat in the booth table inside the Nasty Burger. Everywhere she looked, she saw the boys making googily eyes at certain girls and the girls were giggling like mad women in return. Sheen and Libby weren't any different.

"Would you like anything else, my Ultra Babe Queen?" Sheen asked, smiling brightly.

"I'm fine, Sheen. Just...sit down," Libby smiled, giggling a little.

Cindy rolled her eyes and stood up, causing Libby to look at her. "Something wrong, girl?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. L-look, I'm just gonna go for a walk, Libbs."

"Whatever..."

-------------------------------
Goddard let out an excited yipe when he finally spotted Cindy exiting the Nasty Burger.

"Goddard?" Cindy raised her green eyes to the mechanical dog. "What are you doing here?"

Goddard lifted his head, showing Cindy a small, TV-like screen. He fast forward the events from Brobot to the conversation Timmy had with Jimmy earlier.

Jimmy: Timmy! What are you doing down here!

Timmy: Dude, it's okay, you can have Cindy.

Jimmy: (Slightly blushing) What on earth are you getting at?

Timmy: I'm just saying that you can have her. I'm...over her, now. Besides, I know for a fact that you're in love with her!

Jimmy: Th-that's a lie!

The scene suddenly turned to static. "I-I don't understand. Why are you showing me this?" Cindy asked, confused.

Another scene had appeared just as she asked that question. The scene where Jimmy had spilled the beans and told Cindy his feelings for her in the Candy Shop on Valentines Day.

Jimmy: (Desperate look on his face) I LOVE YOU, CINDY VORTEX!

Cindy felt like the insides of her stomach were doing flip-flops when she heard Jimmy's confession once again. "Why are you doing this to me?" she asked, softly.

He hates me...he's supposed to hate me...he's supposed to be my rival! she thought, backing away from Goddard. But it's starting to make sense...
