Blast Off!

Sorry for the long wait guys! All my love, -katie- p.s. No own Jimmy!

Jimmy was more nervous then he had been in... well he had never been this nervous. Somehow he had intrigued people enough so that they worked hard and met the deadline. He wasn't really sure how he had done it, but he had. Over the night he had tried to concoct ways to figure out how to save Cindy... he sort of had a plan.. Now he was with a group of his fellow school mates ready to save the girl.. He ... loved. Just then a voice spoke.

" Everyone is ready Jimmy! Thanks to you and all of your pressing... this is done We've been working for 27/4 and it's done!" (A/N ,yes that was intended!)He turned to the voice. Libby was standing not far from him she smiled. " Cindy will be so glad to see us..." he tried his best not to blush.

" Libby this is not the time .. Or place for this.." he said reprimanding her actions and she just shrugged.

" When will it be the right time Jimmy?" she asked sighing deeply. He just shook his head and turned towards the group of people near him.

" Alright guys. Here's the plan. We go and meet April, she promised she'd have help.. And then we as a team of Gorlocks' and Humans will attack and get Cindy back.. But these are my enemies here people.. They will do anything to get rid of me, and anyone associated with me, so be careful!" The group looked at him with fear evident in their wide eyes. But the topic couldn't be avoided it was a possibility that one or more of them.. Ended up dead. Most likely him. But he just wanted to be safe.

" Now, I've installed little intercom devices into each of your rockets so we can all communicate.. And you can tell me whats going on.. And I believe I have also given you all a radio device to communicate with as well. So I can get to you if needed. Alright everyone got it?" An uncomfortable silence swallowed the crowd.

" Alright then. Everyone in your rockets!" he cried as he sat down in his newly renovated rocket. He was a teenager now, he had grown. He needed a bigger rocket.. For Cindy as well. He smiled as he thought of Cindy, safe.. And with him.

" Buckle up.. And .. BLAST OFF!" he cried as he started up his rocket and everyone simultaneously followed. As a group they lifted off the ground. His nerves vibrating as they exited the stratosphere.. And he laughed a little bit as he remembered Carl crying...

" Now I know why they all end in FEAR!"

He smiled warmly as he remembered that moment.. That first moment when he had thought for a moment Cindy had felt something for him.

" It's beautiful.." Cindy had said. She glanced at him with a broad smile on her face.. They interlocked gazes.. Blue met green.. He smiled again as he remembered his reaction. How stupid he had been. But of course that was before that jail cell so long ago.

" Buck up Mister!" " Those kids need you and I do to.." Just then something woke him from his wonderful trance.

" JIMMY! LOOK OUT!" He snapped his head from his trance and dodged a fairly good sized meteor he was about to hit.

" Right.." Libby just stared at him with a pale face.

" What on earth where you thinking? TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" she cried angrily. This girl was obviously having some emotional problems. He just smiled at her.

" Whoops.." Just then Carl drove up next to him.

" Jim, you really scared us there for a second.."

" Yeah. Sorry.."

So on they went deeper and deeper into space with Jimmy locked on to the coordinates April had given him, it was getting later and later. Finally people began to complain.

" Jimmy! We are tired!"

" No we have to keep going! Sleep in your cars if you have to.. I have programmed them all with the coordinates just like mine! We can't stop, we can not afford to lose ANY time!" he responded coldly.

" Okay okay sheesh.. Just a little ..." just then the voice he recognized as Nicks' had stopped. Jimmy turned his head in confusion. Nick never stopped talking.. Unless something major had happened. Nick just stared at him with those eyes and then a devilish smile crossed his face.

" I was right.." he said and laughed a little bit as he leaned back in his rocket and flipped his hair.

" What are you talking about Nick?" Jimmy asked with an eyebrow raised.

" Duh. You know.." Nick smiled again. " You like her don't you Neutron? How could we all have been so blind? I mean I had my doubts but I mean I had no clue you felt this strongly about her..." Jimmy just stared, lost.

" You love her Jimmy.. Just admit it.." he stated as he turned towards him. " You are completely and totally in love with Cindy Vortex.." Jimmy laughed.

" Right. Do you know who I am? Who she is? She's like.. My enemy.." he said trying not to blush but judging by the heat increasing in his face he was pretty sure he was losing.

" Yet here you are, saving her.. I'm pretty sure that screams.. I LOVE YOU!" he laughed again. Jimmy felt a twinge of anger in the pit of his stomach.

" We just can't lose any time!"

" Man, you would think for a person so violently in love they could stop denying it, especially since her life is in danger Neutron!" he coldly shot back. Maybe Nick was smarter then Jimmy had thought.

" I do not wish to discuss this issue any further with you Nick, I need rest and so do you.. Who knows what we are facing.." Nick just smiled.

" Hah. That only proves my theory Neutron.. Seriously. Tell the chick because if you don't she'll slip away and that's something we both know you'd give anything to stop.. Night Neutron.. Don't worry about Cindy to much.. She'll appreciate you doing this... but you need to tell her how ya feel.. So you'd better start thinkin of a way.." he said as he closed his eyes and drifted into sleep. Jimmy just hung his head a little bit, as much as he hated to admit it, Nick was totally right. He had to tell her, as much he knew she felt nothing, it needed to be done.. He relaxed back in the seat of his rocket and stared at the stars above him. For all he had studied the stars and understood there chemical balances and had seen millions of pictures of them in his Science books, everytime they took his breath away.. He sighed as he closed his eyes and wondered. Could Cindy see the stars tonight like he could? Was she safe? He pictured her smiling face. Just then he knew, even though he didn't know how or why, he knew that this mess, was all going to be alright in the end.. or at least he desperately hoped so.. And as he was comforted by this thought he drifted into the most peaceful sleep he had experienced for a long time.
