CHAPTER TWO

Jimmy was down in his lab with a book and some with a thin material. Yes Jimmy was learning how to sew. Jimmy mumbled continuously has he kept pricking his finger for the 20 time since he started.

"Bark, bark."

"I know Goddard I'm making a air balloon, I just- cant-get-this…ow"

"Bark!"

"I can't use a sewing machine Goddard mom wouldn't let me and anyways this needs to be down by hand." Jimmy painfully stuck the needle in only to successfully prick himself again.

After a couple hours and several boxes of band aides later Jimmy finished his hot air balloon top. Taking a break he went into this house. "Mom!...mom?" Jimmy walked in to spot a note on the fridge. "Be back at five. Oh I guess I'm home alone." Smelling chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven, Jimmy took one eagerly and filled a glass of milk. Walking out of the house and sitting on the front porch Jimmy enjoyed the slight cool morning breeze, and the peaceful sound of silence. Goddard lay down beside Jimmy.

"That, I know you should have seen her face when I told her." Jimmy looked to his left to see Cindy and Libby walking down the sidewalk laughing. Jimmy put on a goofy grin on his face when he saw Cindy.

Getting up and with a big puff he bravely approached the girls. "Hey Cindy, Libby how are you doing, didn't the guy's go to the Candy bar with you?" Jimmy said smoothly, has butterfly's been bouncing around in his stomach furiously.

"He…hey wer…'re …gg…good." Cindy stuttered

"Ya, Jim the guys are at the Candy bar doing this contest." Libby said rolling hey eyes imagining what weird thing Carl and her boyfriend Sheen would be doing. Jimmy and Cindy were looking in other directions except each other. Libby lightly elbowed Cindy in the side. Cindy came to reality remembering why they were walking on this side of the street.

"Well I better be going, so, well see ya." Jimmy turned to leave but Cindy grabbed his arm desperately. Jimmy turned around. "Um, Jimmy Lib's is….um..having a, well A PARTY AND YOUR INVITED!" Cindy practically yelled in Jimmy's face. Jimmy stood there. Libby added "It's this Friday from 6 till 10 and invite who ever you can, I told Carl and Sheen already."

Cindy held her breath waiting for Jimmy's answer. "Yah sure." Jimmy shrugged.

"Alright see you there." Libby waved and Cindy just looked back at Jimmy on the sidewalk.

"This Saturday so I only have a day and a half to work on it. Alright then, Goddard we have a long day ahead of us."
