Thank you for reviewing everyone, you have no idea how much this means to me. I'm kinda going through a rough patch right now, and so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. All my love, -Katie- Who does not own Jimmy!

Gorlock

The truth of the matter was it should be easy to say three little words. I love you. How hard could that possibly be? Jimmy Neutron pondered this as he sat in his rocket staring up at the stars. He had woken up about three hours ago due to a bad dream, but everyone else was still asleep so he was left with his thoughts. He really hoped that today would be the day that he could finally reach Gorlock. They had been traveling for several days now and he knew every day that they lost was precious. He heard a moan coming from Nicks' rocket, he must be waking up.

" Mornin sunshine." Jimmy joked. Nick scowled at him as he rubbed his red eyes fiercely but Jimmy just kept smiling at him. He laughed as he turned his head back up to the stars.

" Gah, I look horrible! I need my hair products!" Nick whined. There had been a lot of these types of comments over the past few days. People were getting sick of finding planets to use as pit stops. Jimmy did have to admit he'd give up just about anything for a shower. Jimmy just sighed. " Well I can try and see if Goddard has a hose.. And maybe.. We can stop for a while and take showers. That is if Goddard has a hose.. Of course that means you would have to have brung shampoo and .." he was interrupted as he glanced over and saw Nick holding up several bottles of HAIR CARE Shampoo. He just laughed, of course Nick would never go anywhere without his hair care products, especially with Betty around. Ah yes, Betty. She had surprisingly stayed a fair distance away from Jimmy on this journey, he figured it had to do with Nick being right next to him. Thank you Nick! He smiled as he glanced back at her rocket. She was sound asleep. Maybe he should tell Nick what she was doing behind his back... but his plan was spoiled when he thought, yeah like he'd believe you on the subject Neutron.. He just sighed and turned to face forwards again. Nick raised an eye brow at him.

" What's up Neutron? You were looking awfully funny at Betty..." Jimmy just laughed.

" If I'm so in love with Cindy what do you care if I look at Betty for?"

Nick nervously took a glance backwards toward the rocket Betty was in and then turned to face him again. He seemed so nervous! What was wrong with this picture? Jimmy just cocked his head to the side questioningly and then Nick spoke as he hung his head.

" She's got the hots for you. I mean, it's so totally obvious. She always talks about you. She's almost worse then Cindy was. I mean it's bad Neutron. I know she comes on to you a lot. Even though you don't think I see it, and you hope I don't for my own sake, I do. I know she came on this adventure just because of you..." He whimpered and Jimmy swore he saw a tear fall from his right eye. Jimmys' jaw dropped as his mind tried to fit what Nick had just said into his brain.

" Oh my gosh Nick.." he spoke in utter shock. " Why don't you just tell her that? Why don't you stick up to her? I mean she is your girlfriend for gosh sakes! What the heck are you doing? Why don't you just do it?" he asked. Nick looked at him again.

" You don't understand Neutron, I have to play stupid, because if she ever found out I knew.. She'd dump me right away!"

" Ah. Duh! Who wants a cheating girlfriend? I wouldn't!"

" Cindy will never cheat on you, she loves ya to much, but Betty like a free spirit, and if I ever tell her she can't be.. She may never talk to me again." he said as he played with a nail. Cindy loved Jimmy? This guy was wacked that was for sure. He'd been to long away from the hygienic blessings of earth. Jimmy just stared at him blankly.

" Er. Cindy doesn't love me.. And erm. Why don't you just break up with Betty?"

" God Neutron! You don't get it do you? She is Betty Quinlan the prettiest girl in the school.. Well next to Cindy of course, and since you've already got her heart what am I supposed to do?"

Jimmy was beginning to get a little ticked off! Why did Nick keep insisting that he and Cindy loved each other? Sure, he loved her, but he was pretty sure she didn't love him. Just then Jimmy had an idea.

" I've got it! This means that she will break up with you possibly.. But.."

" I told you that I don't want her to.." Jimmy held up a finger to stop him.

" Would you rather know that she is hitting on me when she is supposed to be going out with you? Or catch her in the act?" he smiled. Nicks expression changed. Why was he so desperate for a girlfriend anyway?

" Alright Neutron. I'm listening.." Jimmy smiled as he faced him.

" Okay, here's the plan. I let her come on to me.."

" What! I don't think so! Cindy will be so jealous! And so will I! What are you thinking Neutron?" he scorned.

" Just listen to me Nick! This is the only way. And CINDY WON'T BE JEALOUS!" Jimmy snapped coldly. Nick just flinched as he shut his mouth. " Right. Okay, here we go. Now like I said we will let her come on to me, and flirt with me when your 'not around' but when she finally goes in for the kiss which knowing Betty she will... You will see it! You'll foil her and she'll have no choice but to chose what she wants. A life alone or you. It's that simple." he smiled at him.

" Well how do I know that you won't secretly like this 'kiss' and break up?"

" Well.. Er.. I like being single I guess.." he lied through his teeth. How was this possible? Why was he being so nice to Nick? And why was he hinting at loving Cindy for gosh sakes? Nick just smiled again.

" You do love her don't you?" Jimmy flinched at the words. How did it always come to this?

" Er... oh hey is that Gorlock?" he pointed to a green planet just ahead happily. Thank you Gorlock!

" Don't change the subject Neutron! We had this discussion a few days ago and you never told me, now confess Neutron!"

" Not now Nick! Wake up everyone we're here!" he cried and he heard several moans of protest. Nick just shook his head.

" What?" Jimmy asked.

" I don't believe you Neutron... this is the second time you've refused to expound on this subject. Your just getting yourself into a deeper hole Neutron." he said as they neared the green planet.

" Like you said Nick, we've had this discussion before, and my answer is the same as before..." he said coldly.

" If you say so Neutron.."he snapped at him. Jimmy just looked ahead at the green planet called Gorlock. Nick was right. Why did he keep denying this feeling he knew was so present in his heart? Why did he keep this thing that had dominated his life for the past ... six years or so a secret?

" Prepare for landing!" he shot a glance over at a planet just a few planets down. White. When he looked closer he thought he saw the image of Cindy painted on it's surface. He whispered the words. " Not there, not there!" as they landed on the green planet.

He stretched as he stepped out of the rocket and many others did the same. He needed to find April A.S.A.P. He stared glanced at his watch. 5:00 a.m. earth time. He studied the planet in front of him. It was very desolate, rocks here and there, and a deep crevice and just beyond the deep crevice seemed to be a lot of lights. The city. Just then he heard a loud squealing noise. He turned towards it and before he had a chance to react, April had thrown herself into him which sent him flying backwards and landed hard against his rocket. She squeezed him tightly then looked up into his eyes.

" Jimmy Neutron.. You made it!" she smiled. And he nodded his head.

" Yes, and we are all safe.. But I'd think we'd all like a shower.." she cocked her head a little bit. She probably had no idea what a shower was.

" Never mind.." he shook his head. Just then Betty walked over to see Jimmy with this green girl in his arms. He smiled and said. " Betty Quinlan this is my friend April.." " April this is my friend Betty Quinlan.." Betty raised an eyebrow towards him and spun on her heel and walked away.

" You sure do have a lot of pale earthlings going after you Jimmy Neutron.. But I believe the one that has gone missing is the one that is your mate am I correct?" she smiled at him.

" She's not my mate, but she is a friend of mine.." he smiled back, and then she cocked her head to the side.

" You are amazing Jimmy.. Your eyes they are like two blue pools of crystal clear water.." she blushed and he just stared at her.

" Water? You know what water is?" he asked her as an idea penetrated his big head.

" Yeah, we have some, but we don't use it because it poisons our blood stream.. Just as you have poisoned my brain..." she blushed.

" Where April? Where is the water?" he asked anxiously. Why did she keep flirting with him?

" It is behind that rock over there.." she pointed to a rather large green rock in the distance. He smiled broadly and kissed her cheek.

" Thanks April!" he said as he tried to squiggle from her tight grasp, but before he could get away she grabbed his face and his lips crashed onto her scaly green ones. His eyes opened wide in shock.. He had been kissed by girls before. But everytime was a new experience. He felt butterflies in the bottom of his stomach, and began to wonder what kissing Cindy would be like. His insides glowed furiously at the thought of her soft lips against his... Just then April pulled away softly.

" Jimmy.. I.. Am so glad you are here.." she smiled and blushed furiously as she stepped away from him. He noted that Libby was staring at them rather strangely.

" Yeah. Thanks I guess.." he said as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. " But I have to go talk to my friends okay?" he nodded towards the confused Libby who was now holding Sheen's hand tightly.

" Alright. We will discuss our plans at supper. Call me when you all have 'showered' and I will come and get you.." she smiled.

" Thanks again April." she smiled and blew him a kiss.

" Anything for you Jimmy Neutron.." she said as she hopped on a vehicle that looked like a motor cycle except it had no wheels. She winked at him as she stepped on the gas petal and flew off into the green Gorlockan sky. He faced his friends who were staring in surprise and shock at how open April had been. Due to the stares he blushed and smiled.

" We have water people!"

A simultaneous cry of joy filled the air.

" Who gets to go first?" he asked with a broad smile on his face. Every single hand flew up into the air. He sighed. This would be an interesting day.

Finally they had something worked out by a random name drawing through Goddard. He of course had agreed to go last. It was the best thing to do since he was the one who got them into this mess in the first place. Surprisingly Carl had won the random name drawing and Christy beamed brightly as she tapped him on the back and kissed his cheek. Carl blushed heavily. Jimmy felt his stomach flip. How he wished he could have that... he stared at the ground and entered into his thoughts. Just then Libby (who had turned out to be like tenth or something) spoke.

" Jimmy..." she said nervously. He turned around to face the girl behind him. " Jimmy... April. She likes you doesn't she?" Jimmy felt his heart beat a little faster and brushed the brown hair out of his eyes.

" Yeah..." she giggled a bit.

" But the question is do you like her?" Jimmy began to feel very sick. Did Libby like him to? No! She belonged to Sheen! But why else would she be asking if he liked April?

" No. Why?" he asked confused.

" No reason..." she said calmly.

" Libby you explain to me what the heck that was about.." he commanded. She blinked in shock.

" It was simply about me caring about another friend.." she said as she smiled.

" Oh please oh please don't tell me you like me to!" he exclaimed as he fiddled with his thumb. She laughed hardly. A true, hard laugh, not nervous at all.

" I was just asking for..." A crimson color lightly sneaked over her cheeks. " No reason I guess..."

Jimmy just cocked his head to the side as she walked away and kissed Sheen full on the lips. What was up with that chick? Sure she had been through a lot of trauma the past few days. But still. She was making absolutely no sense! He just shrugged. He hated he couldn't understand girls, but then again who did?

— sorry that was so long guys! The Next Ch. Will be soon! It will be called A Plan, and Libby doesn't like Jimmy! Sorry if that kinda hinted at it.. But she doesn't k? Okay! Thnks for reading!
