No own Jimmy!

Under Fire

The tastes of the food still lingered in his mouth even though they had eaten at least three hours ago. He yawned and stretched as he looked outside. The daylight had melted into night and the world of Gorlock was shadowed in mystery. He had danced with April at least ten times and now his feet burned. He was tired, and tomorrow was sure to be an important day. He walked over and tapped April( who was dancing with Oleander at the moment) on the shoulder.

" Hey April, I think it's time everyone went back to the camp, we need our rest for tomorrow." she smiled.

" Good idea Jimmy!" She whistled and the Gorlock band finally stopped playing and an eery silence fell over the room. Jimmy noted that his ears still rung from it like he had just been at a rock concert.

" Hey guys!" his voice echoed through the halls. " We should go back and get some rest, we'll need our strength for tomorrow!" He smiled as the group sighed in relief. He laughed and motioned for them to follow him and April out of the hall. She led them through the halls and arrived at a set of stairs.

" Alright everyone! It's time for bed! You guys will be staying here for tonight, my butler will show you all to your rooms.. Your luggage is already in your rooms. We will wake you up at nine o clock sharp.. And we plan to attack the white planet about noon or so. We will give you weapons and such. Sleep well." She motioned for her 'butler' to show everyone to there separate rooms. Soon it was just her and Jimmy.. Again. Jimmy was beginning to wonder if all these moments alone with him were intended.

" You are sleeping in the room across from mine Jimmy! Isn't that so cool?"

Now he was certain it was more then intended.. It was planned.

" Whoa slow down April. Whats going on here? Why are you planning for all these things for us? Little moments by ourselves, and now a room across from yours?" he began to speak his thoughts. She turned to him. " Did you..."

"Plan this?" she finished his sentence. He snapped his face towards her in shock.

" Maybe." She blushed heavily. Holy Crap. She did like him! " Come on Jimmy, you said yourself you need all the sleep you can get.." She tried to change the subject.

" So that's why you were so willing to help me.." He changed it back.

" Duh!" she blushed again as he followed her up the stairs.

" Well ... er.. As nice as that is.. I don't think I can..." But she held up a hand to stop him.

" Return the sentiment, I know my dear, I know your heart belongs to the pale earth girl.. I've known ever since I first met you.." he just stared at her dumb founded.

" Everyone knows it my dear. Everyone around you sees it in your eyes, in your smile.." she smiled as she gestured arrived in front of a door with the Gorlock helmet engraved on the door.

" This is your room.. And that's my room." She pointed to the room across from him So if you have any problems just give me a holler. Good night lover boy.." she said as she smiled and dissapeared behind the door of her room. He blinked a few times and entered his room. His bed looked hard and not very comfortable. But he was to tired to care. He threw off his jeans and shirt and turned the light off and crawled into the bed. He stared at the ceiling above him, how did she know? What did she mean everyone knew? Maybe he hadn't been as discreet as he had thought with his feelings. He ran a hand through his hair. He sighed as the image of Cindy danced through his mind. He wondered if she had slept at all over the past few days and he wondered if she had eaten or if they were starving her.. He wondered if she was warm or if she was shivering in a corner all alone. Just then a sickening though entered his head, was she even alive? His head began to throb and his stomach churned. He leaned over his bed and spewed out some of the green goo that had been his supper. He wiped his mouth.. Yuck. How disgusting was that? He got up out of his bed and turned on the lights walked to the bathroom and came back to clean his vomit up. He began to wonder what was really in that goo. He began to feel sick again and rushed to the bathroom... He leaned over something that appeared to be the toilet.. He was so scared for Cindy it was making him sick. He laid his head in his hands and fell asleep there lying against the bathroom wall.

–The Next Morning–

He woke up with a monestrous headache and an attitude that would send even the huns running for there bunny slippers. He rubbed his forehead as the room came into few. He cursed under his breath as he remembered he hadn't finished cleaning up his mess last night. He needed a towel and something that was wet. He stood up slowly to try and prevent any sudden attacks of nauseate. He heard his stomach make a noise and braced himself for another round of praising the porcelain gods... but then he realized that he was only hungry. He grabbed some towel like things that had been hanging on the wall and walked over to something that looked like a sink. He knew that water wouldn't come out since April had mentioned it poisoned there blood stream, but Gorlockan's had to drink something. But to his surprise water flowed out of the sink like object. He cocked his head to the side. Of course! April obviously had done this, somehow gotten her servants to connect all the rooms with a water source for temporary use. He couldn't believe it. They were only going to be there one night! Even so, he was pretty darn happy that it was water. He splashed his face and then drenched the towel like thing in water. He walked out of the bathroom and over to the green spot of puke. Luckily it was only a little bit and it cleaned up easy. He winced as he swallowed heavily and finally finished the job. He was going to kill Cindy. He got changed into a black zip up shirt and some baggy jeans. He needed to be comfortable today... He filled something that looked like a tub with water, and then dipped his towel in it. The green gloop washed off like a snap. He was rather amazed at simple this was. He washed his face again and brushed his hand roughly through his hair and rushed out of his door. As he raced down the stairs he looked at his watch, ten minutes to seven. April was sure to be up. He arrived at the landing where April had basically told him how she felt the night before, and then called her name.

" April!" his voice echoed through the hallways. Sure enough she appeared around the corner.

" Good morning Jimmy.." she smiled.

" Morning..." he smiled back.

" Are you alright? I heard you throw up last night... and I was just wondering.. Are you quite alright this morning?" He just stared at her. What did she do watch him while he slept?

" Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks. I think it was the food.."

" Oh of course.. That is quite a natural reaction to new foods for humans isn't it?"

" Yes it is.." he said smiling. He was never going to tell her why he had ACTUALLY gotten sick last night. " Well breakfast is waiting, and something tells me your stomach is going to like this meal much better!" she signaled for him to follow. He did so reluctantly. They arrived in the large banquet hall they had been in the night before. He smelt pancakes? No way! She gestured towards a large table filled with pancakes, sausages, whip cream and strawberries. All of his favorites. This was begging to creep him out a little bit.

" I did some more studying on the human culture last night Jimmy, and this is the foods that were most recommended for breakfast by most pale earthlings.." she smiled. Thank heavens it was from a book, and based on the mass majority of earthlings and not just him. She smiled.

" So did you enjoy the water this morning? I had it specially routed to your room.." she beamed as Jimmy piled on some food on his plate. She had some food on her plate too. It was that green goo from the night before. His stomach churned. She signaled for him to follow her again. So he did to a table in the distance.

" You had it specially routed to my room?" he asked confused.

" Yep, just yours Jimmy. I knew you'd appreciate it.. It would cost to much to route that much water from all the way across the planet for everyone!" she beamed as she sat down across from him. He cocked his head to the side and stabbed his fork into his pancakes.

" Right.. Er.. About last night.."

" How I knew about your feelings for Cindy and how I know that you threw up because your scared that she's not alive.. Like I said, I see it in your eyes when I mention her name, or when you talk about her.. Or when she teases you. If you could see it, the light that shines from your eyes, the way your face looks whenever she's mentioned.. Or the way her name rolls of your tounge.." she smiled agian.

" How on earth do you know so much about my culture!"

" Simple. I read about earth culture, and how they mate and everything.. And the different relationships.. I am the princess Jimmy, I have unlimited resources..." she smiled as he stuffed some more pancakes in his mouth. He nodded.

" Well maybe your wrong.." he said. " I'm just her friend, it's my duty to save her.."

" You feel like it's your fault don't you? Well it's not.. I'm sure it's not.." she sipped on a drink she had in her hand.

" You know Jimmy, if your heart didn't belong to that girl I might dare say that your becoming fond of me and what I've done for you aren't you?" she asked straight up. Didn't this girl have any reserve for what she felt?

" Hey April, as much as I like your compliments.. It's a little bit strange for me to experience a girl coming onto me.. So headstrongly.. Without any reserve at all.." She smiled.

" Yes dear Jimmy, that is the point entirely.." he cocked his head to the side and ran a hand through his hair. " It is the way it is supposed to be.. But for now eat my love.. Eat until you can not eat any more, you need your strength.. We will leave as soon as everyone eats.."

" I thought you said.."

" I mis calculated, we need to leave almost immediately.." she said calmly. "I've sent the message to my warriors.. They are ready as ever..." Overtime Jimmy ate the rest of his food and noted that one by one everyone came downstairs. He told them that they needed to eat because they needed to leave right away. Sure enough people listened to his orders and ate quickly. Finally, everyone had eaten.. And it was time to get everyone ready for battle. Time was passing rather quickly to Jimmys' surprise.. He glanced over his Army. They all stood with pointy spears and ferocious battle uniforms.. There appearance made Jimmys' stomach flip. It was perfect! He beamed at April who was now in her 'tough chick' apparel and she donned her Gorlock helmet and her army of about ten men appeared.

" April, I can't thank you enough.."

" I know we don't look like much.. But these are the ten best men we have.. They have strength of 100 men.." she beamed proudly. " Sirs. This is your commander, you will only follow his orders from now on.."

" Sir, we follow your orders, even if it leads us onto death.." Jimmys' jaw dropped.

" Your welcome Jimmy.. Well are we ready then?"

" Let's go kick some butt!" Jimmy screamed at the top of his lungs raising his own spear.

They each walked out to a large ship with the Gorlock helmet on it's side. Jimmy was nervous.. Very nervous.. What if Cindy was dead? Then what? He prayed that wasn't the case.. But he couldn't help but wonder...

As they boarded Jimmy sat in the seat behind the drivers' chair. It was kind of a weird feeling. Goddard barked at him.

" Yeah I'm fine boy.. Just a little worried about Cindy.." he admitted.

" It's okay Jim.. I'm sure she's okay.." Said a voice. He turned to the dark haired girl next to him. Betty. " Betty what are you doing?"

" Sitting by you.. When is that a bad thing?" she asked as she crossed her arms in front of her.

" Right, sorry.. But I would think that you would want to go sit by Nick.." she smiled a wide knowing smile and fluttered her eyelashes... Just then her hand worked onto his leg.. And she wetted her red lips with her tongue slightly and spoke.

" Why Jimmy.. Don't you think your good enough for me?" she smiled devishly. " If we die.. There's something you should know.." she dragged placed her free hand on his chest area. Where was everyone else? She threw back her hair from her face. She leaned very close to his ear... and then whispered. " I think you and your brain are damn sexy.." she breathed and applied pressure on his chest and leg. She was trying to seduce him! Just like he thought she might try to.. She kissed his ear slightly. Then he reacted. He raised his arm and pushed her away slightly.

" What the heck are you talking about? You have a boyfriend!" he retorted.

" You can't pretend you don't like it Neutron.."

" Actually I don't so back off Betty!" she got a shocked look upon her face.

" Fine. Your on Mr. Neutron.. But first.." and before he had a chance to react she leaned forwards and pinned him against the back of the drivers seat by his shoulders and then his attacked his lips like a wild beast but after he realized what was happening he furiously shoved her away.

" I SAID BACK OFF!" he cried as she fell backwards on to the seat.

" Fine. But this isn't over Neutron!" She cursed under her breath. What the heck was she thinking? She had to know she didn't stand a chance with him anymore. His feelings for her were long gone! In fact, he doubted that they had actually existed or if it was just his pathetic eleven year old attempt to make Cindy jealous. Finally, other people walked into the vehicle.. He sighed in relief. April arrived and sat in the drivers' seat. She looked back at him. She arched an eyebrow at him. She pointed to a mirror. He looked in it, and sure enough there was a hint of red lipstick on his lips. He blushed hardly, wiped it off, and then shrugged. She just shook her head. She started the vehicle up. He looked back at Betty who was now all over Nick.. And just then Betty winked at him. He shook his head and turned his blue eyes upon the world around them. He stared out at it. Sure enough the white planet was just a little while away. He turned to his army.

" Is everyone ready? We could be attacked by missiles if they see us coming, so be ready for what possibly could be a rough ride.." he spoke. Libby and Sheen were staring at him. He probably was very pale in the face. There was just to much stuff going through his head right now. Just then a loud BOOM filled the air. April swerved to the side.

" What the heck was that?" Libbys' worried voice filled the air.

" What are you psychic now Neutron?" Libby asked whose color had also drained... Jimmy stood up in a flash and saw something that looked like a bomb headed straight towards them.

Boom!

" Watch out April!" she turned hard to the left to barely miss it. Loud booms of exploding objects.They were under fire!

Boom!

" Get down on the floor!" he screamed as another one barely missed them. His breathing was very labored now. They just stared at him.

Boom!

" Just do it! You're my army now listen to me!" he commanded as he pointed at the floor. Now do it!" he bellowed. Libby just stared at him, shocked. Nick got the weirdest look on his face.

Boom!

" Do what he says unless you all want to die, do what the dude says!" he shouted among the explosions. Finally people got down on the floor. He turned back to the front.

" What about you Jimmy?"

" I need to help April!" he shouted over another boom. Another missile headed straight for them but they dodged downwards..

They rode sideways, forwards, backwards.. He then got an idea.

" Down April Down! Below the Planet.. Hurry!" he screamed as April made a nose dive through more fire.. Finally they were below the planet. He breathed a sigh of relief.

" It won't be a long time before they figure out where we are at..." Just then the bottom of the planet formed a whole large enough to swallow them... " Or maybe no time at all!" he yelled as a green light came down and surrounded the flying vehicle and sucked them up into it's depths.

Jimmy closed his eyes and gripped the shoulder on the seat next to him. He was going to die. They were all going to die.
