three things: 1) sorry that it's taken so long to update. life and all that stupid stuff. 2) sorry if it's short and not exactly up to my usual par. since i hadn't worked on it for a while, it was hard to remember where i was going with it. forgive me. 3) this was written with poof's mono-grammar in mind, so even though it has been shown in very recent episodes that poof actually has a vocabulary, i wrote this before i knew that. (i haven't kept up with FOP for a bit)
"Wait, wait, wait, what are you saying? Are you about to give birth? Like right now?!" Timmy yelled.
Jimmy yelled in agony, arching back a little and then gave a death glare to his friend.
"That's the reason I've been sitting here yelling like a maniac!" he screamed.
"Hey, um, shouldn't we do something this?"
"Like what? Are any of you a doctor?" Timmy growled.
"Hey, um, since I'm kind of the only one here who knows what Fudge Head is going through-"
"We can't do anything like that, Cosmo." Wanda said, looking at her husband. "That's why the baby ended up like a slab of vomit in the first place."
"But I thought it was because Jimmy wished it out?" Sheen said, letting Jimmy grab hold of his arm to combat the contractions.
Timmy snapped his fingers. "I got it! Let me get Poof down first."
He figured out how to get Poof out and then held the kid at arm's length.
"Since Poof was the last Fairy to be actually born, maybe he'd be able to help us out a bit."
"Um, why can't you just wish for Jimmy?" Sheen said, making a face at Jimmy's surprising grip on his arm.
"That's what I'm saying. I know Wanda said that wishing the baby out of Jimmy using his serum was a bad idea, but since Poof still has a bit of uncontrollable magic…" he said, turning Poof this way and that.
Wanda and Cosmo looked at each other and Poof wiggled his arms and legs.
"Poof-Poof!" he said.
"I… don't know, Timmy. I mean…"
"We don't have time!" Sheen growled at them. "Jimmy's about to pop and you want to have a discussion? Jimmy's human, so he doesn't have the babies! I may have been stupid, but everyone knows that! If he continues, he's going to die."
"Cosmo, Wanda…"
"Poof-Poof…"
Wanda nodded and Timmy turned Poof around.
"Poof, I wish that Jimmy's baby was born and transported somewhere safe and sound."
"Poooooof Poof!" he said, waving his rattle around.
A small cloud of fairy dust surrounded Jimmy's stomach and in an instant, it was flat again and the pain was gone. Jimmy opened his eyes and looked down, seeing the baby was gone again.
"Where'd she go?" He looked at Timmy. "I didn't screw it up again, did I?"
"No, I wished her out of you."
Jimmy's eyes widened. "But you said-"
"You weren't able to do it because you're not a magical creature and even though the serum you made was based off of us, it was synthetic and wasn't going to work right." Wanda explained. "Jorgen had pretty much threaten to kill us if we got involved, which is how this mess happened in the first place. Since you used our residue, there were traces of me and Cosmo's magic. But, like Timmy said, Poof is a baby and can sometimes go around Da Rules."
Jimmy looked at the round baby and turned his head.
"Well… I guess I should thank you little hologram."
Poof turned his head a little but Timmy shook his head.
"Now that your kid is safe, you're not depressed, my fairies are free, and you're up and running again, let's say we kick some clone and anti-fairy ass!" Timmy said, hitting his fist to his palm.
"Vamos a arrojar algo de sangre." Sheen said with a deep growl and a smirk.
"Hey, uh, aren't you supposed to be getting some sort of signal from your blue friend?" Nick said, eating a back of chips.
"Yes… it's quite unusual for Anti-Cosmo to be delayed…"
"Can I untie Cindy?"
James turned to Nick as Cindy looked at him expectantly.
"Noooo… You seem to have gotten dumber by the minute. Is there a reason why your intellect has waned?"
"You calling me stupid?!" he growled, pointing at himself.
"Yes."
Nick growled and set the bag of chips on the counter.
"If it hadn't been for me, you would have ever gotten the drop on a lot of stuff that's going on. You should be thanking me."
James sighed and walked over to him, holding out his hand.
"You're right, I should do something for you… Let's shake on it shall we? That I owe you a favor."
Nick laughed in triumph, grabbing James' hand.
"Alright! Finally- OW! What the hell?" he growled, shaking his hand and hissing.
James held up an empty needle.
"All in good time… I would like for you to repeat after me: I wish that I could concentrate."
"I wish that I could concentrate?"
Cindy screamed under the duct tape as Nick found himself contorting against his own will into a seated position. To avoid falling, he stiffly went to the couch and looked at James.
"What the hell… did… you…"
"Yeah, my favorite statue was always 'The Thinker' because he looked like he was contemplating so much. Such a powerful looking sculpture… I remodified Jimmy's little serum (with Anti-Cosmo's help) and was able to add a fun tidbit to it. See, originally, it just went off of voice command, such as all wishes do, but sometimes there are such broad ways of granting them. Abstract and obtuse… usually the wish grants to the most literal degree. I made it where the serum can detect the intentions of the injector, making abstract thoughts come to a better reality… kind of like dear old Jim-Jim and his baby."
Cindy looked up at James and he grinned at her.
"Yeah, that was me, as I'm sure it's been revealed, but I'm sure you're wondering how exactly I did it." He walked over to her and leaned on the back of the chair with his arm as he got close to her face. "You wanna know?"
Cindy nodded slightly, unsure what he was going to do to her.
James just moved and started pacing.
"I was spying on Jimmy and overheard his stupid little experiment about trying to get taller. Despite what he things he said, he said 'bigger', not 'taller'. Bigger is a very broad term, so I took it upon myself to include the details of his wish a little later while he slept. It was delightful… Ah, look, we have a perfect statue of a very contemplative boy! Doesn't he actually look smart?"
Cindy looked at Nick's frozen form on the couch, set in the pose of 'The Thinker'. Cindy looked back at James as he smirked.
"Idiot thought he could try to control me..."
Cindy didn't make a noise as James walked back to the computer monitors and drummed his fingers anxiously waiting for Anti-Cosmo to report back to him on the condition of Fairy World.
Cindy watched Nick and realized that he was still able to feel. His eyes were still functioning but unable to move. He was practically be tortured, forced to stay like that for the amusement of a crazy offshoot of her ex-boyfriend. She suddenly saw something that looked like a hand in the window. She stared at it in confusion and then saw Libby pop her head up. She waved at Cindy enthusiastically as Cindy glared at her. Carl came up too and waved, Godard's head coming up next. They were making gestures at her to try and get her to understand that they were going to rescue her when Carl stopped, tapped Libby's shoulder. She looked at him in annoyance and he pointed to the side. She looked as well as Cindy and found James had been watching them the whole time.
"Don't mind me. Please, continue your rescue mission."
Judy was making food in the kitchen when she thought she heard a faint sound, like a baby crying. She shook her head when the sound got closer. She stopped what she was doing and just listened, the wails coming closer and closer but nowhere to be seen.
"I know there are no ghosts in this house…" she mumbled.
"Hey, Sugar Plum?" Hugh said from the couch.
"Yes, darling?"
"I hate to seem ignorant here but um… you didn't have another baby without telling me right?"
Judy made a face. "Why do you ask?"
"Because this baby kind of appeared out of nowhere…" he said, standing up with a baby in his arms, crying its eyes out.
Judy ran to her husband and grabbed the baby, rocking it and shushing it. Eventually it stopped crying and Judy looked around.
"Where in the world…"
"I swear, Sugar Booger, it just appeared out of nowhere in my arms. Oh, there was a small note attached."
Judy took the note from her husband and read it over. She tsked and bounced the baby a little.
"What did it say?" Hugh asked, not having read it.
"It says that she's Jimmy's, her name is Marie Corrine Neutron and that Jimmy was in danger, which made her in danger, and that a friend helped wish Marie out of him and to a safe place. The safest place he knew of was home."
"Jimmy's baby?"
Judy sighed. "Don't worry about it, dear…"
Marie quieted down and Judy looked at her for a moment. She wasn't very sure about the whole 'wishing him out' ordeal but whatever the case, the baby was safe and Jimmy hadn't tried to abandon her. The only issue she had was the part that said Jimmy himself was in danger. He had told her of the many adventures he'd gone on when he was younger and everyone thought it was just the imaginations of a child. It had taken her a long time really believe that those were actually real and that her son was an intergalactic genius and an unsung hero to the Earth. With that being said, she hoped that this new and latest adventure wasn't something that would get him killed.
i love hugh. he's so adorably oblivious... regarding what sheen was saying, it was in the realm of 'we're going to shed some blood'. my spanish person out there, if this is wrong, please kindly correct me :) - and james is a bit of an asshole huh? kind of want to feel sorry for nick... anyway, this story is getting close to an ending so please bear with me as i try to tie up loose ends and give the story a proper jimmy neutron ending. it's been a bit since remember exactly what i was trying to do so it may take longer than usual to wrap this sucker up. i thank you for your patience in between then
