It's Been Awhile Chapter 5: You Found Me, a jimmy neutron fanfic

I just got a very interesting question. Does ANY mayor have the authority to kick someone out of town? And the truth is, I have no idea. I looked it up and didn't get any results so I assume not. But it does make a good plot in my opinion! Also I'm sorry for truncating a large chunk of lyrics from all of the songs that I have used so far. I only do it to save space and not to bore you with lyrics that are irrelevant to the plot. I like the lyrics as much as the next person but I don't want to bore you to death. It's my first fan fiction and I'm just getting the hang of it.

As soon as Cindy wrote the letter she smacked her head.

"You can't send a letter that you don't know the address to." She sighed, frustrated with herself, "I must be really losing it."

As soon as Jimmy realized it he smacked his head.

"You can get a response to a letter when the person doesn't know the return address." Jimmy groaned to Goddard.

"Wait! I could call her! Duh, why didn't I think of that sooner?" He picked up the room phone and dialed in the number.

"Her call is long distance and will take an extra fee." He commented not surprised that it didn't work. "Is the whole world against me or something?" he asked Goddard.

"Why not send her video mail?" Goddard's screen responded.

"Good idea boy." Jimmy smiled as an extendable arm came from the metal dogs backside holding a video camera. When the green light came on Jimmy started.

"Cindy, I miss you a lot. I need to see you but I can't come into Retroville. Goddard will be bringing this message to you. He'll turn into the flycycle I invented and you can come, if you want to. I know you got my letter but I don't know how you feel about what I said. Please, I need to see you. I love you. And tell my parents that I love them and miss them. Tell Sheen and Carl that I miss them also. Over."

Jimmy sat quiet for a moment and thought about what she might have thought when she got his letter.

"Come on boy, let's go outside and send you off."

"Bark, bark!"

3 hours after Jimmy sent Goddard off to find and show Cindy the video, he was finally in Retroville. Over to Cindy's window he flew and tapped on the glass.

"Huh?" Cindy rolled over toward the window. A shadow floated there behind the curtains. Throwing up the sash, she peered out at the familiar invention.

"Goddard? What are you doing here?" the blonde asked surprised.

He flew in and sat on the floor. Opening his mouth he let the video that Jimmy had recorded 3 hours ago.

"Take me to him." She cried on the floor in front of the dog clutching her knees. Instantly he retransformed into the fly cycle that Jimmy commanded him to. Cindy didn't hesitate to get on.

The next 3 hours felt like they were going slower than the last. Suddenly he heard knocking at the door. His heart jumped in his chest. He threw the door open. As soon as he did so, a pair of arms went straight for his neck and lips met lips. Cindy had to jump to reach him but it didn't matter. She pulled away, reluctant but in a hurry. Piercing green met deep blue.

"Uh…hi?" Jimmy asked confused, his lips still tingling from Cindy's kiss. She was just as shocked as he was.

"I-I, Jimmy, I…" But she was cut off because Jimmy kissed her back but deeper.

"Man, am I glad to see you Cindy." He exhaled sitting on the bed behind him. Cindy followed suit.

"Jimmy, you need to come back. We all miss you. We miss your big headed-ness and inventions that don't work." She stated in all seriousness. He scowled and laughed but then became serious too.

"Cind, I can't just come waltzing into town and think that no one will notice."

They sat in silence, as tears ran down both of their faces.

How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late

Nothing's wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will

Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

Nothing's wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Solo

How the hell did we wind up like this?

Instead of a Hollywood horror

That was "Someday" by Nickelback. That time I put all the lyrics because they were all relevant.
