Chapter 3(Hide and Seek)

[5 minutes later]

Jimmy had blasted off away on his jet pack after Nick had given it to him to escape. He landed five minutes later in a mysterious neighborhood, a little bit far from his own. He had escaped Cindy's custody for now, but he knew that she would not give up a single hope of catching him. He glanced around through the neighborhood. It was a foggy place and somewhat scary for the boy genius. There was nobody around. It looked as if the neighborhood was actually haunted.

"Man. I've never seen a neighborhood like this. It looks as if today would be Halloween even though it's only June."

He then heard some noises coming from in the background. "Okay, super freaky", he thought. The he saw a pair of eyes within the fog.

"HA! Oh no! Please don't tell me this is a trap." Then he saw more eyes in the fog. Scared, he activated his jet pack and blasted out of there.

"I am out of here!"

Next, while flying overhead, he saw Retroland. He breathed a sigh of relief as he landed in the middle of the park. He glanced around and luckily there was no sign of Cindy or Libby anywhere. He had a bad feeling Brody, Nick, Carl and Sheen were beaten due to Cindy's expertise at martial arts and he knew the girls are likely after him right now.

[At the Vortex residence]

Cindy and Libby were on Cindy's laptop tracking down Jimmy. Cindy had secretly installed a tracking chip in his jet pack ever since the time her and Jimmy had stopped Grandma Taters from hypnotising the people into happy mindless zombies. Having to question Jimmy on why he was at Betty Qunilan's house. She and Libby began to tracking sequence and discovered that he was at Retroland.

"Retroland huh. Well Libby, time to go Neutron hunting."

"You got it girl!"

Mr. Vortex then walked up with some of his construction friends, whom are gonna set up a security system and a giant bed cage once Cindy has Jimmy put to sleep with a sleeping drug pill.

"Hey Dad, while there setting all of this up, can you drive us to Retroland? Neutron's there."

"Of course honey."

He grabbed his car keys and hollered at his wife.

"Hey Sasha, I'm taking Cindy to Retroland so she can capture Jimmy Neutron."

"Capture him! For what?"

Cindy came in. "You see Mom, I bought him at an auction today. A robot he built put him on sale, but he escaped thanks to his boy friends attacking me and Libby, but we beat them up and are off to capture Neutron now."

"Well alright dear, you bought him, so I won't stop you."

"Thank you mother! Alright let's move out!"

[Back at Retroland]

Jimmy had been pacing around Retroland and decided to got on The Bat Outa Heck ride. While he waited in the front of the line. He saw Cindy's girl friends(minus Libby),Brittany, Amber, Rose, Tina Sue, Nissa and Coutney Tyler. They were walking around while glancing, as it looked like they were looking for something. "Or someone." Jimmy, not wanting to find out himself just looked away and waited for his turn to ride. It was finally his turn. As he entered the ride, he heard the girls' voices.

"Hey, there's Neutron!" said Amber.

"Let's get him!" said Brittany.

"OH NO!" Jimmy yelled as he got onto the roller coaster and took off.

[7 minutes later]

After a fun seven minutes on the ride, Jimmy was back to being in trouble. He searched around and didn't find anything. He then darts off to the Eye in the sky and gets into the long line. He continuously glances around for any signs of the girls. Nothing so far. About 5 minutes later, when he was toward the front of the line, he hears someone calls his name.

"Oh Jimmy."

He turned around to see the girls with Cindy and Libby this time. Cindy was holding some sort of drug pill. Libby was holding tape, Brittany was holding rope, and Amber was holding handcuffs. They were all ready to trap Jimmy. Jimmy ran away screaming.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Jimmy raced off to the park restrooms. He ran into three boys he doesn't hang out with: Wendell, Ike and Butch. "Well, hopefully they'll help." he thought.

"Hey guys!"

"What do you want Neutron?!" Butch barked.

"I need your help. I've got about eight girls trying to capture me."

"Why?" all three boys said.

"Cindy bought me at an auction a stupid robot put me in. You boys have great strength, can you please hold them off for me."

"Please. Holding off girls is something I've wanted to do for a long time and I thank you for giving me the chance Neutron."

"Your welcome Butch. AH! Here they come." Jimmy said as he ran off to the park restrooms.

"Alright boys, let's kick some girls' hiney! Hold it right there, you girls aint going after Jimmy." said Ike.

"Oh yeah?" Cindy said in response.

"Yeah, what are you gonna do about it Miss Cindy Vortex?" Butch mocked.

"This! HEE-YAAAAAA!"

Cindy creamed the three boys with her karate skills. The boys laid down on the ground, now in super pain from the fight.

"Jimmy went that way Cindy." said Rose.

"Alright. Time to get Neutron!" said Cindy.

Inside the boys' restroom, Jimmy his in one of the stalls. With all of his boy buddies defeated, he was on his own. There was no way he could defeat eight girls by himself as he is too small and not that strong physically. Plus, one of the girls, Cindy, his new owner, is a balck belt in karate and tai-chi. He may not have the brawns, but he does have the brains. He sat there scared, hoping the girls will never find him. 5 minutes later, the bathroom front door opened. "I hoped that's not who I think it is."

"Neutron! I know you're in here. I own you now and I order you to show yourself this instant!"

Jimmy panicked on the inside as that voice was confirmed to be Cindy's. He was now surrounded, nowhere to run.

"Think, think think….. Brain Blast!" he whispered.

He pulled out a reserved cup of fun fuel out of his backpack and inserted it into the rocket boosters. He then activated his jet pack and flew out of there.

"Hey girls!" he said as he flew over and opened the door.

"Nerdtron! Get back here right now!" Cindy shouted.

"Sorry Cindy. You want me, come get me! GOTTA BLAST!"

"Okay Neutron! Time for the risk."

"What do you mean Cindy?" asked Libby.

"Time to launch the pill!"

"WHAT NO! YOU NEED THAT!"

"LIBBY! She then turned to her. "Trust me."

"Okay."

She turned back around. "HEY NEUTRON, GET A TASTE OF THIS!" she said as she through a bouncy ball at him, missing him.

"HAHA! WOW CINDY, IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!" he said as he closed his eyes and continued to laugh.

"Oh no. You're coming to ME!" She said as she launched the pill up into the air. "Bullseye!" It successfully went into Jimmy's mouth. He then groaned as he slowly swallowed the pill. His jet pack deactivated itself as Jimmy was not moving and Jimmy himself fell down. Cindy caught him in time, he was soundly asleep. All of the girls cheered and congratulated Cindy for catching him. She looked at Jimmy and grinned evilly down at him.

Author's note: Well, bad news, Jimmy's been caught. How will his friends be able to help him? Stay Tuned!
