Chapter 5
Jimmy is forced into rehab by his good friend Carl, who has become a priest.
"Jimmy, I am tired of you begging for money and not only that you have too much potential to be wasting your life like this. Cindy is gone. You need to get on with your life. Crashing your floating car into that plane was damn irresponsible. You should have double checked your fly guide before taking off. You not only hurt yourself but the band Aerosmith was in that plane on their way to Okanowa. Do you know how long Aerosmith has been touring? Leave it to Jimmy Neutron to ground Aerosmith. Please get help, I'm begging you! The world needs you Jimmy. The polar ice caps are almost gone, the animals and the trees are dying and half the Earth will be underwater by next summer. If you can dry out, there's a job waiting for you in Phoenix. The fate of humanity once again lies in the hands of Jimmy Neutron." spoke Carl.
After 6 mounts of rehab, Jimmy is ready to face the world. He won't ever forget Cindy, but she is lost to him now. After his last DUI, Jimmy is prohibited from flying in his floating car. He is forced to street drive, what a drag. He is left to his memories while his car drives him to his destination.
Summer of 2006...
"Cindy, Cindy I have great news! I've invented something great! I want you to come out with me for dinner and celebrate!" said an excited Jimmy.
"Well, I don't know Nerdtron, I hope it's better than that last place" said Cindy.
"That wasn't my fault!" exclaimed Jimmy.
"Okay, Okay but you better be at my house on time and dressed up!" said an excited Cindy.
"How does the Pimento palace sound?" asked Jimmy.
Oooo, sounds great. See you later." said Cindy.
That night was magical for Jimmy and Cindy. They shared their first kiss in front of the lab. Jimmy shared his invention with her.
Jimmy awoke suddenly to a shrill alarm. When he was sleeping the car decided to overheat.
"Oh geez, what timing. Goddard scope out the perimiter. Goddard, what's wrong?"
In the far distance there is a town.
I guess I'll be hoofing it. Good thing I thought to bring water. I hope they have a phone and a gas station.
When Jimmy opens the door a blast of heat hotter than an inferno blows at him.
Boy it must be about 120 degrees out here. I have no choice but to keep going.
As Jimmy approaches town, he is amazed to see tents, food stands, and woman in sari gowns and veils.
What in the heck is this place?
As he approached closer to the town, he saw the city sign. It read…
Warning you are about to enter a restricted area! Turn around or you be shot on sight.
The name of the town is in bold letters.
Little India
Population 1100
Well that's very rude. Maybe someone will come to my aide.
"Hello! Hello! I'm stranded, please don't shoot me!"
A girl in a veil answers him.
"What do you want? This is a private town and we don't allow visitors."
That voice, it's so familiar, could it be? No, why here?
"I only need a telephone."
"I don't know what you are talking about. The phonograph was an idea rejected long ago by society because of the risk of Lyprosy!"
"What are you talking about? I said telephone, the thing you use to talk to your friends or family who live far away."
"I'm beginning to wonder if you are a devil in disguise sent to destroy our society. Go away before I call my husband."
" Please wait! Can I please see your face?"
"If I showed you my face God would strike my children and husband dead and I myself would suffer a long and painful death from flesh eating parasites!"
"No, you are wrong. Your life is a lie. We were married before, someone stole your memories- I have always lived here. I have a mother, father and sister. What do you remember about your childhood?"
"I suffered amnesia, my childhood and part of my adulthood are black. I have to go, my children are calling."
Jimmy starts walking away. Suddenly he remembers that he has a picture of himself and her.
"Quick take this, here's your proof, I be back to rescue you."
Cindy looks at the picture and starts screaming.
"Devil! Devil! HELP ME! AZULA!"
She runs screaming and crying away from Jimmy.
Jimmy starts running away. He hides behind a rock. There is a strange sound. He looks up to see what looks like a giant lizard. Kamono Dragon!
I'll slowly back away, and maybe it won't hurt me, slowly, slowly.
There is a sharp pain in Jimmy's foot.
Oh, No! I stepped on a scorpion. I got to make it to the car before the poison makes me disoriented.
Jimmy falls down and falls into a dark hole. Thinking Jimmy is dead, the Kamono dragon takes a nip off his face. Jimmy's taste is not to his liking. The Kamono Dragon strolls away, the bacteria from his bite already starting to rot Jimmy's skin.
Jimmy has a dream- red dragons dancing on his face, purple flowers on a blue tree. Then he is walking on a bolt of lightning, moving towards something; a house filled with dead fish. They look at his with accusing eyes, blaming him for killing the Earth. They start to eat his face.
