Thanks to those of you who replied! A little slow, but I suppose that's how all things start, isn't it? I'm gonna try to update at least once a week, but sometimes it may take a little longer. Just hang in there, cause it's going to start getting good!

Sorry this update took so long, but you know how it is with school and friends and life, etc., etc. Or at least, I hope you do and that I'm not the only one:)

Chapter Two: What the heck?

Jimmy quickly responded to Cindy's question by first choking on his Flurp, then spitting it out, and then gaping at Cindy like she had just grown another head.

Cindy's sweet expression instantly turned to one of annoyance. "What? Can't a girl ask a guy out to the spring dance?"

Jimmy, who was still in a slight case of shock, replied, "Of-of course they can. Just not you…I mean, you don't…you wouldn't-"

"I wouldn't what Neutron? Ask you out? Believe me, you weren't my first choice. But my pond was small; therefore I picked you."

"Me! Why not Nick? Or-or even Carl? Why me?" Jimmy questioned.

Cindy let out an exasperated sigh. She ticked the answers off on her fingers as she responded. "One: Nick is away on family vacation. A lot of good that would do me. Two: Do you seriously think Libby would be jealous of Carl? And th-"

Jimmy interrupted with, "Do you seriously think Libby will be jealous of me? If you haven't noticed already, Carl and I are in the same boat. Girls just don't seem to go for us. Excepting, of course, you."

"Look, I already told you Neutron," Cindy snapped, "My options were very limited. I assumed Libby already had Sheen, I've already explained about Carl and Nick, and do you happen to see any available, single boys our age just hanging around?" Jimmy opened his mouth to protest, but Cindy beat him to it. "Of course not! Do you know why?" Again, Jimmy opened his mouth to answer. And once again, was overlooked. "I'll tell you why! Because they're all already taken!" Cindy nearly screamed this last part, and several Candy Bar-goers turned to stare.

Cindy noted this and turned to look back at them. "What are you looking at?" she shouted at the several observers who were looking. Once she made sure they had resumed what they were doing, she turned to face Jimmy, who, among other things, was feeling a bit overwhelmed. "So? What's your answer?"

Jimmy didn't get a chance to answer, however, because at that moment the door opened. Now, normally when somebody walks through a door nothing happens. But when you live in Retroville, you hardly ever experience anything normal. The few people who made it a habit to look at everybody who came through any door focused their eyes and attention on the two people who came through the door. These people, in response to the surprise they felt, gasped, which in turn, caused more people to look at the door and gasp. These reactions finally made enough of a commotion to cause both Cindy and Jimmy to turn and look at the doorway themselves.

About an hour ago, back at Libby's…

"Sheen, Sheen! Calm down! I'm not gonna hurt you!" Libby tried to explain as she calmly led Sheen to a chair in front of her vanity mirror. "I'm just gonna give you a small makeover, an update, if you will." Libby said nonchalantly.

"Is it gonna hurt?"

Libby sighed and replied, "Of course not Sheen. Unless you move when I'm trying to do something, then it could hurt."

"Are you sure?" Sheen questioned. Libby just nodded and started to work on her masterpiece.

Just as she was about to start, however, Sheen interrupted. "What are you gonna do?"

"It's a surprise."

Sheen paused, and then once again interrupting her, asked, "Can't you tell me?"

"No. I told you, it's a surprise."

"Are you sure you can't tell me? Pretty please?"

"Ugh, no already, Sheen!"

Acting like he hadn't even heard her, he went on: "If you tell me, I'll give you a hug!"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"No."

"Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top and a cherry and chocolate sprinkles and caramel sauce and-" Sheen was cut off mid-rave by Libby's hand on his mouth.

"Sheen, I've been trying for 10 minutes to start and I can't start with you talking! So if you would be so kind as to shut up for a little while, we'll be able to leave. Got it?" Libby said firmly as she placed her free hand on her hip.

"Goftf itft!" Sheen cried as he made the 'ok' signal with his fingers.

"Good! Now I can finally start!" Libby exclaimed joyfully while she removed her hand from Sheen's mouth.

"Libby-" Sheen started.

"Sheen," Libby said reproachfully. Her look was one full of agitation, and it could be felt that it practically screamed "Not another word!" With that, Sheen firmly shut his mouth and kept it mostly shut for the remainder of his visit.

Back to the mysterious entrance at the Candy Bar…

Cindy gasped, but quickly recovered when she saw who was coming in. To anybody who would listen (particularly those who had just walked in) she then exclaimed, "It's funny who'll they'll let into respectable places these days," and tried to resume her conversation with Jimmy. She would have been successful too, if not for the fact that those who the remark were directed hadn't overheard.

"Tell me about it. I didn't think they let white trash into the Candy Bar."

Cindy, to no one's immediate surprise, turned on the speaker and would have probably used her martial arts techniques on her if the prospects of gloating hadn't presented themselves. She snapped in response, "Anytime, anyplace."

"All right then girlfriend! Bring it on!"

Jimmy, knowing what was about to happen, almost immediately sprung into action. He tried to restrain Cindy and, after about the fourth try, succeeded. While Jimmy was helping Cindy, Libby's guest was also doing the same with her.

When he had got Cindy to sit down at a booth, he tried to reason with her. "Cindy, if you guys get in a fight, who knows what could happen! Do you realize how much trouble you could be in? They'd call your mom and then you'd probably get grounded or even worse, they might call the-" Jimmy stopped, realizing what he was saying was most likely going in one ear and right out the other. Annoyed that he was wasting his time and effort, he followed by snapping his fingers in front of her face and saying, "Do you even hear me!"

Cindy didn't, or if she did, she made no notice of it. At the moment, she was too blinded by her rage so that everything else was completely blocked out.

Yay! My very first chapter two! Kudos for me! LOL! Anyways, I hope you liked it because it took me while to write it. Please, review!
