sorry for lack of updating. this should make up for it
Some days went by and Jimmy noticed that Sheen was always sniffing at him and Cindy was stealing glances at him every chance she got. He didn't really understand what was going on but he felt really paranoid. He still didn't understand how in the world he got into this situation in the first place. He asked to be bigger, not pregnant.
"It's not like those two words can get mixed up. They sound nothing a-"
He ran to the bathroom and vomited in the toilet, lifting his head up.
"What is that horrible smell?!" he groaned, leaning on the toilet seat.
Jimmy got up and made his way to his room, closing the door quickly. He went to his intercom and pressed the button that said 'kitchen'.
"Mom?"
"Yes, Jimmy?"
"What are you cooking?"
"It's squiggle noodle casserole. Why?"
"It's making me sick. Can you make me something else?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart, I didn't know it would make you sick. I can make you something else. Are you craving anything?"
Jimmy thought for a second and touched his stomach a little.
"Well, I'm not exactly hungry but a snack would be nice. Doritos and mayonnaise."
"Uh… Doritos and… mayonnaise?"
"Yeah. The spicy sweet chili kind, if you please. Thanks, Mom!"
He shut off the intercom and turned to Goddard.
"Goddard, can you go get my snack for me? I don't think I can go down the stairs. I'll be in the lab."
He opened his closet and pressed a button, the back of it sliding open to reveal an elevator. He would have used the chute but was afraid that if he didn't stick the landing, he would cause trouble for the baby. He decided that maybe he should actually get information from the source of this formula and went straight to the computer, typing in some coordinates.
"I wonder if he's still around… I grabbed some DNA off of him from the last time he was here but whether or not it stayed in the computer…" he mumbled to himself.
He typed the numbers into the computer and then hit ENTER, hoping that the signature was still in the computer from all the moves it had to do. The screen crackled for a moment and Jimmy could hear voices on the other side of the screen. He waited for the picture to clear and finally, a face came into view.
"Well, well, well, look who it is."
"Hello, Timothy." Jimmy said with a smile.
"James… Why are you being formal?"
"It's customary to at least be civil when meeting someone again for the first time in a long time."
Timmy gave a lopsided grin when his face was pushed away and Cosmo looked into the screen.
"Ooh! Ooh! It is Fudge Head! Hey, Fudge Head!"
"Cosmo!" Wanda looked into the screen. "Hello, Jimmy."
"Hello Computer Program 1 and 2, I'm glad that you're still functional. Speaking of which, I have a problem that I've run into if you wouldn't mind helping me?"
"I would but uh… I've got an issue that we're dealing with." Timmy said, looking over his shoulder.
Jimmy frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Uh, well, let's just say that things are odd. Can you call back later?"
"It was a quick question…" Jimmy mumbled.
"Don't worry, Timmy!" Wanda yelled. "We'll hold them off for a second."
Timmy looked back with a speculator look when Jimmy saw something fly above Timmy's head. He bit his bottom lip a little but looked back at Jimmy.
"Alright, make it quick, Neutron."
"Is everything okay over there?"
"None of your universal business. Seriously though, I'm going to hang up…"
"Right, um, my question was in regards to your computer programs. The 'I wish' factor that you use to command them seems pretty foolproof but have the programs ever glitched and mixed up two perfectly unrelated words?"
"Unrelated? Not that I'm aware of. Cosmo has a tendency to mix up 'make' with 'cake' but that's because he's not paying attention. Why? And what do you mean?"
"Uh… well… I collected some data from your computer programs and created something from them. I was testing it on myself and-"
"What?! You collected stuff from Cosmo and Wanda?"
"It was left behind from when they were here in Retroville."
"Oh… well, what are you using it for?"
"I was just testing it out to see if it worked on a human subject but… something has gone awry."
"What words got mixed up?"
Jimmy looked around for a moment, contemplating on telling Timmy. He came to the conclusion that if Timmy could come from another dimension with programs that left behind strange particles, then telling him his plight would be alright… Besides, it's not like he could get in touch with any of his friends.
"Okay… Well, you know I'm kind of short and all…"
"Still? Even I got a growth spurt." Timmy said with a laugh.
"Some people are lucky." Jimmy growled. "Anyway, I was trying out the formula that I made and said that I wished to be bigger. Well… somehow that didn't happen. Somehow 'bigger' got translated into…" He sighed. "Pregnant."
Timmy lifted a brown eyebrow.
"So… you're pregnant?"
"Yeah. But I don't know how. That's the thing. I didn't say anything in relevance to being pregnant or how it even happened."
Timmy looked like he ducked from something and he heard Cosmo yell out to him.
"Timmy, what's going on?"
"There's a war in Dimsdale. There's been some discoveries and now there's an all out war here."
"Oh Jesus, Timmy! If you were in the middle of a war you should have told me!" he yelled, standing up and getting closer to the screen.
"Well, I haven't seen you in a while. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof are keeping my defenses for me. They can handle a pretty good hit."
"Get off of the screen!" Jimmy yelled.
Timmy grinned. "Hey, Cindy."
Jimmy turned quickly and frowned at finding Cindy standing there in short shorts, a light long sleeved shirt, and low-top Converses. She ran over to the screen and grinned happily at Timmy.
"Oh my god, it's Timmy Turner!"
"It's good to see you too, Cindy."
"This is not the time to be all flirty! Timmy, get off the screen! Call me later! I'm not important!"
Timmy smirked and gave a salute to Jimmy.
"Alright then. I'll ask Cosmo and Wanda about what could have happened and get back to you, yah?"
"Yeah. And hey!" Timmy looked back. "Don't be careless. Come back safe."
Timmy rolled his eyes. "You're a mush, Neutron. Bye, Cindy."
The screen went blank and Jimmy turned to Cindy with a glare.
"How did you get in here?"
Cindy made a face and pulled out a tiny device.
"I nabbed your hair to get in any time I want." She said, dangling it in front of him.
He made a face and tried to get it back but Cindy held it out of his reach.
"Well, isn't this familiar?" she said with a grin as he still tried to grab it.
"Cindy, stop humiliating me in my own lab." He said, jumping up and down.
Cindy didn't let up and he when he jumped up, he accidentally landed on her shoe, causing them both to fall to the ground, Jimmy on top of her. He crawled across her but she still held him out of reach.
"Give it up, Jimmy." She said, trying to keep from laughing. She finally had enough of his struggle and wrapped her legs around his torso and flipped them over, straddling him. "You're too short, Neutron. Face the facts."
"It's a violation of privacy to take another man's DNA for your own purposes. I don't want anyone down here without my permission. I don't want another Sheen incident."
Cindy made a face as she stuck the device in her back pocket and leaned over him, putting her hands on either side of his face.
"I'm not an idiot like Sheen."
"Doesn't mean you won't touch something… What did you want, anyway?"
"I just wanted to come and see what you were doing. I was bored at my house."
"Why don't you go play with your boyfriend?"
"Because I feel like having a conversation about quantum physics and have someone understand me. I want to ask an algebraic equation and have someone know what I mean… I want to have an intelligent conversation for once." Cindy leaned back and Jimmy bent his knees so she was leaning on them. "I get tired of hearing about football and basketball and skateboarding."
"Well aren't you dating the wrong guy and in the wrong sports?"
Cindy smiled humorlessly. "Yeah…"
They were silent for a while when they suddenly heard a song come on and looked over at Goddard, who was balancing Jimmy's snack on his back and blaring 'Bow Chicka Wow Wow' through his ear speakers. Jimmy made a face as Cindy blushed three shades of red, realizing the position they were in.
"When did he get an irony program?" Jimmy mumbled, not even realizing the embarrassment the two were in.
Cindy got off of him and held out her hand to Jimmy. He took it and she pulled him up. He went to get his snack and stuck a Dorito into the glob of mayonnaise.
"Anyway, don't ever come into my lab without me being here."
"I never do. I programmed this device to glow when you enter your lab. I would never invade your privacy… So, what were you asking Timmy?"
"It has to do with my formula that I made from his computer programs. Something odd happened and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a glitch."
"What happened?"
"Uh… nothing… Anyway, I'm about to go back to my room so… however you got in here, you need to make your way out."
"Can I come with you?"
"For what?"
"I just want to talk… watch TV or something…" she said with a small shrug.
Jimmy was about to protect when he saw her shirt slip over her shoulder and a bruise showed to him. He frowned.
"What's this?" he asked, grabbing the side of her shirt and pulling down.
"It's nothing." She growled, pulling up her sleeve. "It's from practice."
Jimmy frowned deeper and grabbed her hand. She looked at him as he backed her up against the wall. He pulled the sleeve down over her shoulder and looked at it.
"If I examined this, would I find Nick Dean's DNA here?"
Cindy looked away and then looked back at him.
"I came to talk about something smart, not dumb."
"Well I want to talk about that. Has he been hurting you?"
"Only since you came back." She said softly.
Jimmy swallowed hard. "So… I caused this?"
"No, I caused this. I don't really hide my feelings for you, Neutron, or are you that stupid?" He made a face. "I thought I could move on but I'm not like Libby. I can't just move on. When I don't see you, I'm okay but seeing you here now just makes me insensible. I'm the stupid one now and it's degrading but challenging. You challenge my brain and I can't help but love that about you. You and your idiot people skills get me every time… But I can't leave Nick."
"Cindy, it's best to forget about me. I'm no good… Seems even when I don't do any experiments at all apparently it hurts people… and it's not the kind of hurt that can be fixed with bandages and ointment." He shook his head. "Go home, Cynthia Vortex and please forget what we had. It will only mess up what you have now and what you have is pretty perfect. Please don't let this screw up screw you up." He said, pointing at himself.
Cindy nodded, hurt, but understanding. She knew that herself but hearing Jimmy tell her to move on was even more heart wrenching than thinking about it. Now it was real…
"Cindy." She turned back. "If he ever hurts you again, I will do something about it."
Cindy smiled sadly. "But it's not your relationship, Neutron, so what point is getting into other people's business?"
Jimmy said nothing as he watched her leave.
just so you know, nick doesn't beat her. he just doesn't know his own strength and hurts her, bruising her a lot from gripping her tightly.
and it looks like we got a little cameo from the timster. if jimmy's gonna use fairy dust then shouldn't he ask the expert on the computer programs he got it from? and dimsdale is in the middle of a war between the fairy world, pixie world, and the human world. how that happened, who knows. crocker, probably *shrug*
