CHAPTER 6
Title: Show me your lab, part II
The lab hadn't changed very much. Jimmy's previous inventions through the years lied around a sack of dust and the only thing they did were nothing but being useless. When a thing turned useless, to Jimmy new policy was, as much as he hated, to abandon the idea and start a new one. The new one was a much more improved version of the previous one, but with the time, it was also a collection of new junk. The only thing it really mattered to him was Goddard. As for the mechanical dog, he was the guardian of the lab. Yeah. There was that funny storywhen Sheen and Carl messed up VOX's DNA scanner.
"Yeah, there was one day I went on vacation with my mom and my dad, so, I left Sheen and Carl to guard my lab", Jimmy explained while walking to his house, with Cindy at his side, and listening very carefully. "Since it was so hard to them to enter my lab, they stuck plastiline with a strand of my hair on my DNA scanner, so they could enter the times they wanted. So they thought...", he said, as he sighed. He put a hand over his face and remembered about that time.
"What does plastiline do to a DNA scanner?", Cindy asked.
"It's not what it does, it's what it makes", he explained. "The DNA scanner overloaded, because Sheen, as hyperactive and may I say, as stupid as he was, he played coming in and getting out of my lab using the door. The scanner detected my hair and it said 'Welcome home Jimmy' so many times, it exploded. When I came back, after two weeks, they were so nervous they blamed each other".
Jimmy and Cindy kept walking, silently. Cindy kept asking herself if Sheen and Carl were intelligent people or not. Specially Sheen.
"They're your friends, somehow, right?", she asked.
"That's right...", he said as he sighed.
"What did you do to them?", she asked.
"I didn't do anything. I just... I just said to them to get out and come back the next day. And right then, I cleaned up the mess", he replied.
Cindy looked at him in the eyes as if he was lying. There were no trace at all. She smiled.
'So cute, and so forgetful', she thought.
"Here we are", Jimmy said. They stopped."Hey, Goddard!".
"BARK! BARK!", Goddard barked, running to Jimmy and leaving his guard job.
Jimmy approached and he kneeled down. He let Goddard start licking his face. The mechanical canine was happy to see his master coming after school. Of course, a robot was programmed for everything. But this dog, had something special.
"A robot?", Cindy asked, incredously, staring at the scene. Thought they looked cute.
"Not only a robot, Goddard was my first invention since I was four", Jimmy replied. "He's a cybernetic canine capable of doing 11,000,004 things... except cleaning up his duties", he explained.
She swore she put attention to what he said, but she couldn't follow him. "A what?", she asked.
"Oh... sorry... listen, don't worry with what I'm saying. Even better, when you recover your memory, you'll be understanding me and you'll even like me as if I were some kind of jerk", Jimmy said.
"Is that what I'm going to do?", Cindy said.
"Exactly", Jimmy added.
"But I don't want to do that! You're so cute and... and... so forgetful, and you say funny things, and you smell good with your cologne...", Cindy said. She could feel her cheeks burning.
Jimmy could fell also his cheeks burning. He turned around slowly. He stood up as he approached her and took one of her hands in his. "Uh... you know... that's sweet... you're going to kill me when I tell you that after you recover your-- MMMPH!".
He was interrumpted when Cindy placed her lips onto him. A group of hearts flew over the two of them and even Jimmy's surprised eyes were heart shaped. He could feel all the warm and his body becoming gelatine and his huge brain melting. But... thought... something was... wrong. It was unexplainable, since she was his huge crush since elementary school.
On the other hand, Cindy was enjoying the kiss. She felt as if there was a long time she had to do this. Like, if it was her destiny. To be with him. Together.
Author's note: SorryI took so long, but there were little time to do this story. Chapter 7 coming soon!
