Lilith had taken Cindy and Jimmy to a quiet place far from town, in a small corn field a few miles away. Lilith had pulled them both into her shadow, before shadow traveling to the small cabin outside of Retroville.
Jimmy was still worried about the infected citizens finding them, but Lilith wasn't worried, since she was technically controlling their every movement. Cindy practically fell asleep in a spare bedroom right away after Lilith used her demonic power to heal their wounds, clearly exhausted from her breakdown and all the action that had happened that night.
Jimmy took the couch in the living room, because Lilith practically took all the sheets off of the master bed, and curled into a ball on top of them. It was late, he could hear the clock ticking on the wall in the cabin, but he couldn't sleep not after what happened.
He could still feel Cindy's touch, his skin still buzzed from the warmth of her body, causing a slight blush to appear on his cheeks. Jimmy stared at the ceiling, he couldn't believe what Cindy did back there, refusing to save herself, and not listening to him.
She was so stubborn! It made him mad, but at the same time he loved that about her. Jimmy sighed, once this was all over, he knew Cindy would go back to being harsh and pretending this didn't happen. It made Jimmy feel upset, it was the first time she had opened up, and he had a feeling it would be the last.
Jimmy had been up for hours at this point, rolling through what Cindy had said, and replaying their moment over and over in his head. At this moment he realized he cared about her… way more then he should.
Why was he so strange around her? Every time they were in danger, he always relied on Cindy to bail him out. Why did he feel so strange whenever they shared a gaze, almost always seeing her emotions hidden within her green eyes, and for some reason he was the only one that could read them.
He felt so weird now, a strange feeling started to take over his entire body, almost like a hot flash, making his skin sweat, and his face fluster. Jimmy ran his hands along his wet face, he had no idea what was wrong with him!
His body felt weak, and since Lilith had healed his wounds, he knew it wasn't from the trauma that night. Jimmy pulled up his pants, looking at the healed flesh on his leg, no longer showing a wound, or bleeding. Jimmy put his head back against the arm of the couch, he didn't understand this insomnia he had, and why he felt something fluttering in his stomach.
Jimmy cried out in frustration, as he went outside to get some fresh air. Lilith popped an eye open, yeah she wasn't really sleeping, she was just waiting, enjoying the way Cindy and Jimmy were both acting. She had been hearing Cindy tossing and turning in her bedroom, she was restless as well.
Lilith stretched on her pile of sheets, as she got up, sneaking to the window to see Jimmy staring at the cornfield lost in thought. Lilith snorted, before hearing Cindy's bed squeak, signaling the demon to go to her sheets and close her eyes acting as if she were sleeping.
Cindy poked her head out, breathing nervously, as she checked for everyone to be asleep. Lilith kept herself from laughing, as Cindy's eyes rested on Lilith's still body, breathing just softly enough for Cindy to think she was sleeping.
Cindy tip-toed to the bathroom, closing the door softly but leaving a crack, thanks to Lilith using her telekinesis to stop it from closing all the way. Lilith rolled on her back, looking out the window where Jimmy was still standing on the porch. Lilith wrinkled her nose, twitching her ears until the light in the bathroom turned on, making Cindy squeak in surprise, but soon she died down, probably thinking it was just some strange cabin issue.
Lilith laughed quietly, as she settled back down on the sheets, awaiting the boy genius who jumped when his eyes caught the light coming from the crack in the door. Jimmy was nervous, was something wrong? Everyone should be sleeping by now, who could be up?
Jimmy carefully entered the cabin, only to see Lilith snoring softly on the sheets, clearly not alarmed at all. Jimmy swallowed, why was Cindy up? Last time he saw her she was knocked out in the spare bedroom, exhausted from her adventure.
Jimmy walked over to the bathroom, getting ready to knock when his eyes went through the crack in the door. Cindy was standing in front of the mirror, her shirt was lifted as her stomach faced the wall, she flinched at the harsh bruises on her back. Her shirt was lifted just a bit, but Jimmy still felt extremely dirty for catching Cindy in her private moment.
Jimmy couldn't look away, his eyes were glued onto her, seeing the purple and black bruises on her back from when Libby made her slam into a brick wall. Cindy flinched once more as she tried to touch the closet one she could reach, but she failed to do so, as she blew her greasy bangs away from her eyes in frustration.
Jimmy felt something stirring in his body, he knew he was going to get murdered for this, but he couldn't move, his entire body was frozen in place. His eyes wandered to her muscular stomach, and he stared at her smooth and soft looking skin.
His throat felt dry, as a tingling sensation took over his stiff body. The strange feeling of him wanting to touch her skin, was something he had never even dared to think of before. What was happening to him? Everything he had ever felt towards his rival was slowly turning into admiration and a burning hot desire to be near her.
His heart started beating faster, his abdomen was tight, as he tried to peel his gaze away from Cindy. He REALLY didn't want to look away, but he knew his life was worth more than a few sneaky glances at her.
Jimmy tip-toed away from the door, but sweat started pouring down his face when he heard the door squeak as it slowly opened. Jimmy slowly turned his head, scared to death of the gaze he felt piercing him from behind, but not fast enough to dive towards a piece of furniture to pretend he was never there.
Lilith smirked, while hiding her face under the sheets, dang, it really was just too easy!
Cindy was shocked when she saw Jimmy, as her blush deepened when he gave her a weak and awkward smile. His eyes darted to the floor and then back at her, he couldn't really explain why he was there, and it already looked too bad to explain.
Cindy's lips parted, but she didn't really know what to say. Jimmy neutron stooping so low as to try and sneak a peek at a girl showing some skin? She never thought she would see the day, or at least… not with her.
Cindy could have sworn he would have run away as soon as he saw her, disgusted at what he saw, since she was his sworn enemy. When she looked at him though, his face was flushed, and he was clearly bothered by some new feeling sprouting in his chest.
"W-Were you staring at me? How dare you!" Cindy said, shouting so loud, it made the 'sleeping,' demon flinch. Her voice was cracking in embarrassment, as Jimmy shook his head in denial.
"No, I-I thought, I-I just!" He stuttered, putting his hands up in defense. Cindy grabbed whatever she could find, and held it in her hand threateningly. She was going to beat the ever living daylights out of him! Her face was so red, the heat in her cheeks so intense, she could have sworn there were little flames dancing across her forehead.
Jimmy cowered on the ground, shielding his face, awaiting a blow from the hairbrush Cindy was gripping. Cindy was breathing heavily, her vision blurry from her fury, as the blood shied away from her hand that was gripping the brush. Cindy was so furious, her head felt light, almost as if she were going to pass out.
"I-I thought something was wrong, but when I came to check on you, I saw you and I thought you were so beautiful I-I-" Jimmy quickly closed his mouth, and cringed mentally, how could he SAY THAT?
Jimmy's heart was beating so quickly he thought it might burst, he was so humiliated and mortified that he let that slip. She literally scared the truth out of him, and he regretted that power she had over him. He was sure she would smack the living crap out of him for calling her beautiful, because he has never even considered thinking that of her before. He hated to admit it, but he was so embarrassed, because what he said was true.
When the blow never came, Jimmy looked up at Cindy, and she seemed to be looking at him, with mixed emotions.
Neutron… really… thought that of her? There was no way he really meant that, he was just trying to kiss up to her so she wouldn't beat him with a hairbrush! How could she be beautiful in his eyes? It wasn't possible, he had always been disgusted by her for as long as she could remember, he would never call her beautiful, those words were what he described certain girls… like Betty.
Cindy looked to the side, biting her lip, and fiddling with the hair brush in her hand. Should she smack him? Walk away and pretend she didn't hear it? Or call him out on it, and ask him if that was true? When she glanced at him, she saw his deepened blush and his shameful eyes, and he only acted that way when he was truly embarrassed.
So it was true, he really thought that of her.
No matter how hard she tried to be mad at him, she couldn't, not after all they have been through lately. They almost died, he gave his life for her, and she did the same, they couldn't pretend that all of those things didn't affect them at all. Perhaps they started noticing each other after that, seeing things they had never noticed until after that moment, and for the first time… Cindy noticed that Jimmy was the only one who could make her feel like skipping down the sidewalk.
Her stomach seemed to explode with butterflies, no one had really called her beautiful before, she hated that out of all people it was Neutron making her feel this way! Strangely it didn't feel awkward or bad at all… surprisingly.
Jimmy jumped when he felt something touch his shielding hand, it gently wrapped itself around his wrist. He looked up, to see Cindy's hand softly touching his, as she helped him up.
Jimmy was on his feet, their hands still touching, as he felt volts of energy shock his body from the contact of her skin. He couldn't help but admire how soft her hands were, and how gently she was holding his, as she stared into his bright blue eyes.
Cindy quickly dropped his hand, clearing her throat as he looked to the side. What was she going to say? Thank you Neutron for officially making me feel confused about how I feel about you? Or how about, now do we just try and be friends, even though we could never pull it off?
Cindy's mind slowly brought her attention back to the main problem, you have to say something, you two are just standing there like idiots.
Dang, Cindy knew she was a sucker when a guy sweet talked her. She just gets flustered and confused about all the warmth spreading to her body, and all the weird sensations she feels, along with strange thoughts that pop into her head. She was shocked that she felt the urge to show affection towards Jimmy, perhaps hug him, or give him a nice smile, to say she felt nice when he said things like that.
NO, he broke boundaries by trying to sneak a peek! Do not reward him for that, he's a jerk! Cindy screamed at herself, making her anger return as she snapped her head back to look at Jimmy.
"If I ever catch you looking at me like that again, I'll make sure you won't have eyes!" Cindy said roughly as she stormed off only to have Jimmy lightly grab her hand.
"I am sorry, that was wrong of me to invade your privacy like that." Jimmy said softly, making Cindy start to freak out on the inside. No don't be sweet, fight back, say something to make me more angry, stop making me feel so strangely!
Cindy felt her anger draining away, she couldn't keep this up, her icy heart was melting, she had to get away from him! She hates Neutron…. She HATES him, she doesn't have any soft feelings for him, no, this can't be happening!
His hand was still touching hers, as Cindy started to go to war with herself, part of her wanted this to stop, and the other half wanted it to keep going. Their sweet moments were something she would always cherish, but at the same time she always found herself regretting them.
Cindy felt like crying, she was so confused, and angry that she couldn't stay mad at Neutron. She found herself quietly pouting, as she gently tugged away from Jimmy, hiding her face as she walked away.
"Those bruises looked pretty serious," Jimmy called after her, as she stopped, cursing herself for freezing every time he spoke, "want me to wake Lilith so she can heal them for you?"
Lilith shifted, as Cindy caught her movements, was she awake?
Cindy stared at Lilith, only to see smoke pouring out of her open mouth as she snored dripping fire-like drool from her bottom lip. No, she is asleep, no one can pretend to be that deep in their slumber.
"I am fine, they aren't serious!" Cindy said in a tight tone, making Jimmy blink in surprise by how quickly her gentle behavior could shift.
My bruises are pretty serious, I may be lying, but I just want to end this conversation as quickly as possible, Cindy thought.
"Do you feel good about every lie that comes out of your mouth? It gets tiresome." Jimmy said, making Cindy completely lose it.
She stormed over to Jimmy, staring into his blue eyes as he stood against her wrath. He swallowed, even though he didn't back down, knowing he had hit a nerve. Cindy turned around and lifted up her shirt, not knowing that she was acting completely ridiculous and not thinking this through very well.
She might have been acting out of anger, clogging her judgment, as she showed Jimmy her bruises yelling at him quickly, "see, they aren't serious!"
Cindy's eyes bugged when she realized what she was doing, she was frozen in place, embarrassment making her eyes close in complete shame. Neutron was always good about making her lose her cool, but now he knew she was completely lying. Anyone could tell that she had messed up, trying to prove that her lie was the truth, but she just got so fed up with Jimmy messing with her head, she would have done anything to shut him up!
Her bruises were bad, they ached and stung when she moved, but Cindy felt something lightly brush her bare back, making her eyes open and shift around awkwardly. Jimmy's fingers lightly brushed her bruised back, as he hesitated, before placing his warm hand against her spine.
Cindy broke free of her frozen trance, as she completely jumped about three feet high, when she noticed his palm was on her skin! What was he doing? How dare he even have the nerve to touch her-
Suddenly his other hand touched the other side of her spine, and Cindy felt her body tremble, his touch felt so nice, but at the same time it made her want to vomit. He gently pressed his thumb on each side of her spine, before applying a bit of pressure, making Cindy bite her lip to avoid sighing in relaxation.
Suddenly Jimmy stopped, taking his hands quickly off of Cindy's back and scratching his head awkwardly, "s-sorry my scientific instincts kind of kicked in, and I tried to help by using a technique I studied a while back."
Cindy found herself pouting because he stopped, as her bruises started aching again.
"It did help, what was it you were doing?" Cindy asked, turning to look at Jimmy curiously as he smiled sheepishly.
"I-I read about the possibility of Reflexology helping to heal bruised bodies, but it was just a myth, I-I should have asked, it was stupid to even consider the possibility-"
Cindy lifted her shirt again before cutting him off, "please do it again, it helped."
Jimmy was absolutely shocked that he even considered feeling comfortable touching Cindy's bare back, he just felt urged to help. He was even more shocked that she asked him to continue, where did this Cindy Vortex come from? Never in a million years could he see himself sharing this experience with Cindy, but even though it was strange, his hands moved by themselves and rested on her back once more.
Cindy jumped once his hands touched her again, but she was a little more used to his touch. Cindy felt his hands trace the outline out her muscles, as he tried to get the gears in his brain to start working, and desperately avoid messing this up. Her bruises ached, but as soon as his fingers went over them, it felt like she was relieved from their throbbing.
His hands started gently applying pressure to her shoulder blades, as his knuckles pressed into her skin. Cindy flinched when she felt a sharp pain from her sore muscles, but then she relaxed once he rubbed the tension out of them. Cindy sighed happily when she felt the pain leaving her body, as his fingers gingerly rested on both sides of her ribcage.
He rubbed his thumbs on the backside of her ribcage, as Cindy held back a gasp of enjoyment, she felt all fuzzy and warm inside, but she mentally kicked herself when she realized it wasn't because of her pain going away.
Every time his hands went up touching her skin, she felt the hairs on her body stand on end, she could feel his hands shaking a bit, he must have been a little nervous, she couldn't blame him, she had never trusted him like this before. Each section he touched left a buzzing sensation deep in her muscles, as they longed for him to touch them once again.
Her head was spinning, as her emotions went out of control, the way her body was responding, it wasn't normal at all!
He is just moving his hands along your skin, it isn't anything special, why am I feeling this way?
Cindy quietly gasped when his hands moved from the tip of her spine, grazing his thumb along the sides, until it reached the base of it. Cindy felt her body shutting down, she couldn't handle this, it was too much!
Her heart seemed to be skipping beats, and her head felt as if it were submerged in hot water. Cindy felt both disappointed and relieved when he carefully removed his hands and let her shirt fall back over her bruises.
Cindy quickly walked away, not caring that he was confused as to why she was practically running to her bedroom. Jimmy called her name softly, but she slammed the door behind her, cutting him off.
Cindy slid her back against the wall, her skin still craving his touch. She chewed her lip, as she sat down against the door, breathing softly as she tried to gather her thoughts, what was that intense feeling?
It was as if they were back on the island again, those little sparks that she felt in her heart, making her a little furious, but sort of relieved that they were still there. Cindy couldn't stop herself from feeling extremely happy and tingly, the feeling was nice, even though she despised it.
I can't start feeling this way again, I buried this feeling long ago.
Cindy took a deep breath, but she felt a small smile form on her lips. A small giggle escaped her mouth, as she quickly stopped, starting to question her mentality.
Ugh, I need to sleep this off.
Cindy crawled into bed, snuggling in the covers, trying to rub her skin along the silky sheets, to get another feeling instead of her skin crawling with a sensation of longing for Neutrons hands.
Cindy closed her eyes, feeling her body finally relax. If only she would have kept the massage as something therapedic, she wouldn't have any problem in saying it really did help with her back. Unfortunately, she was too freaked out about the other ways it affected her that she couldn't focus on how relaxed her back felt.
Dear God, I hate you Neutron.
~The next morning~
Lilith had slipped out of the house, making sure those two teenagers had finally fallen asleep. Lilith turned the citizens back to normal, sucking up the fire and reversing the damage on the town, as if it never happened.
They are going to be so freaking confused, when they come back into town! Lilith said to herself, giggling softly as the sun casted a beautiful orange hue along the calm city of Retroville. The residents of the town were strolling through the streets, trying to get to work, completely unaware of how savage they were just hours ago.
It was relatively easy to reverse everything, Lilith had gone through Jimmy's memory and plucked out a certain invention from his memories that could go back in time and fix an issue. Lilith had used it on the damaged town, and soon enough the entire town was back to normal, not a feral person in sight.
Lilith tossed Jimmy's small time machine in the air, before catching it, and giggling to herself.
It was a useful ability, me being able to go through memories no matter how long ago they took place. Man, I would be so embarrassed if someone went through my memories like that… perhaps I should stop.
Lilith shrugged her shoulders, NAH, that's what's so great about being a demon! Screw privacy! I am going to look through memories like there is no tomorrow!
In minutes Lilith was back at the cabin, easily shadow traveling through the outskirts of Retroville. Lilith came up through the wooden floor of the cabin, just as the morning sunlight leaked through the open window.
Lilith sat on her sheets, counting down until they both woke up. Cindy ripped open her door, storming into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her, as Jimmy popped up in alarm.
Lilith snorted, what major bed-head! She must have had a horrible night's sleep! Yikes! Those bags under her eyes could scare Lucifer!
"Wha-What? Are we under attack?" Jimmy yelled, falling off of the couch, as he jumped up in alarm spinning around with wide eyes.
Jimmy had messy hair, and his eyes were dry and red from a horrible sleep. He was sluggish, as he yawned and rubbed his eyes tiredly, before slumping back onto the couch in frustration.
Cindy finally came out of the bathroom, her hair brushed back in a tight ponytail with a single strand of hair falling over her face. Her eyes still looked tired even though her face was wet, making it obvious she tried to wake herself up with cold water.
"H-Hey Cindy… how did you sleep?" Jimmy asked, trying to be cheerful, as Cindy glared at him.
"I slept GREAT, thanks for asking!" she spat, as Jimmy's face fell, upset that she had snapped at him.
Lilith spread her wings, spreading a shadow over Cindy as she grabbed her arm. Cindy screamed as Lilith pulled her into the shadow pooling underneath her feet, before snatching up Jimmy and forcing him into the shadow as well.
Jimmy and Cindy bumped into each other as they shared a strange room that looked like it was a void of darkness. They seemed to be floating in mid-air, unable to see anything, as they felt movement, unable to understand what was happening.
Suddenly they shot upwards, bursting out from the shadows, and collapsing on the concrete in the back of Retroville High. Lilith looked at them curiously as they recovered from her shadow travel, both clearly confused as to what happened.
"L-Lilith what was that for?" Jimmy asked, as Cindy shoved him off of her.
"I didn't want to miss school, HELLO, I don't want to be tardy! I would think you wouldn't want to be late either!" Lilith snorted, clearly oblivious to their confusion.
"We are in the middle of a crisis, people are trying to kill us! School is the last thing on my mind-" Cindy stopped when she heard the school bell ring, as last minute students ran into the building scattering their school books all over the ground from their rushed movements.
"Wait, what, why?" Jimmy stuttered, as he looked around him. Everything was normal, this was impossible! Everything was on fire a while ago, broken windows, mass chaos, what the heck happened?
"I have no idea why everything is this way, what a strange phenomenon this is." Lilith said, trying hard not to burst out into hysterical laughter.
Lilith made her demonic features disappear, as she snapped her fingers, causing Jimmy and Cindy to strangely appear in the hallway in school. Cindy and Jimmy's mouths were open, as they saw both Sheen and Libby chatting together completely back to normal!
Lilith strolled through the hallway, eh they will be fine, sure it must be a shock to see everything back to normal, but they will adjust.
Lilith skipped to class, happily sitting next to Sheen who was ecstatic to see her. Lilith chatted with Sheen for a while until class started, her mind clearly intrigued as Sheen dozed off in class.
Suddenly Sheen snorted, shaking himself awake in his chair, before rubbing his face and looking at the clock.
"UGH, I have like forty minutes left of class! I have to go to some sort of problem solving class after this one, what class do you have next Lilith?" Sheen asked, making Lilith cock her head to the side.
"Do you mean your math class?"
"Yeah, whatever its name is!"
Lilith grinned, math was pretty easy for her, she caught on easily and enjoyed fitting the puzzle pieces together, even though the rest of the students despised it.
Lilith handed Sheen her schedule, which she hid in her pocket. Sheen unfolded it, before shrieking and dropping the paper, making the teacher stop talking to stare at him. Lilith was concerned for her friend, what was it that made him scream like that? The class rolled their eyes, as Sheen grinned sheepishly at them, before leaning towards Lilith.
"Yikes dude, I feel bad for you, having to go to Sex Ed after lunch, but luckily you just have a boring class before that. I passed out in the first five minutes of Sex Ed! No man could possibly survive paying attention in that class!" Sheen whispered.
"Sex Ed? It sounds scary, the way you talk about it." Lilith said, as the skinny boy beside her shivered.
"It is, unbelievably scary! Here take my Ultra Lord keychain for strength!"
Lilith took the key chain, furrowing her brow in confusion. After that, Sheen pretty much fell asleep again, causing Lilith to pay attention in class with no one else to talk to. Once the bell rung, she was off to her next class which of course was pretty long and full of info, but Lilith enjoyed it nonetheless, until lunch came.
Lilith practically skipped to lunch, waiting in line until she got some strange edible meal on her tray. Lilith sniffed it, it didn't exactly smell like it was edible, it reeked to her, but she ignored it, and went to find Sheen, Carl and Jimmy at their normal table.
Sheen waved his hand at Lilith, but her ear caught the slight sound of someone trying to get her attention. Lilith looked over to Libby, who was making a sound and flicking her hand to motion Lilith to come towards her.
Lilith looked over to Sheen, who was shaking his head, but Lilith put up her finger to tell Sheen to give her a minute. Lilith sat her tray at Libby's table, that consisted of Brittany, Cindy, Libby and a few other girls she didn't recognize.
Cindy was stirring a straw in her drink, as she intensely stared at Jimmy from afar, who was busy trying to keep Carl from eating his food.
"So Cindy tells me your name is really Lilith not Lily, and you aren't really Jimmy's cousin." Libby said, as she jabbed her elbow into Cindy's ribcage making her jump up in surprise, breaking her eye contact with Jimmy. Cindy's hand almost knocked over her drink, as she quickly scrambled nervously trying to keep it from spilling.
Cindy looked at Lilith, as the demon cocked her head.
"Libby is safe Lilith, you can tell her," Cindy said.
Lilith shrugged, "I am Lilith daughter of Lucifer, and heir to the throne of the world once I rid all the humans from the earth. W-Well, that was what I was originally going to do, y-you know when I was being trained to be the Anti Christ." Lilith laughed awkwardly, as Libby's eyes grew wide.
"Yeah Lilith kidnapped me, that was why I was gone for so long, she didn't mean any harm, she just was confused when Jimmy brought her into the world." Cindy said, as the demon gave Libby a playful wink.
"No way! An actual demon!" Libby said in awe, Cindy hushed Libby as she laughed softly, making Libby laugh as well, when she realized how loud her voice was.
"Lilith doesn't know much about humans, but she is a pretty cool demon once you get to know her." Cindy said, eating a spoonful of wobbly blue jelly that made Lilith wrinkle her nose.
"Wow, so you came from the underworld? That must have been so lonely, a pretty demon like you must have been struggling not having a boyfriend down there, I would die." Libby said, sighing sadly, as Lilith cocked her head.
"I had a boyfriend, sheesh, I am not that out of tune with society!" Lilith said, as she poked her mashed potatoes with her fork.
"How did you have a boyfriend in hell? That seems a little strange, and downright creepy." Cindy said, sipping from her drink.
"Yeah, what was his name, what was he like? Was he another demon?" Libby asked, jumping in her seat, as Cindy rolled her eyes at Libby's excited behavior. Libby just liked gossip, even if it was about forbidden love between a demon and her boyfriend in hell.
"No, he was human, we broke up because he was too interested in trying to escape the lake of fire, and screaming over me when I tried to talk. I think his name was… Ado… Adolf Hitler? I think?" Lilith said casually, looking up from her tray to see both Libby and Cindy's mouths dropped open.
Libby's eyes darted to Cindy, before she spoke, "why don't we just keep this to ourselves."
Cindy swallowed awkwardly, "you have a really BAD taste in boyfriends."
Lilith looked down to her food, as the subject was quickly changed, because Brittany started giggling with another girl causing the rest of them to burst out in laughter.
"What are they gossiping about this time?" Cindy asked, leaning her head on her hand as Libby looked over Brittany's head to eavesdrop.
"Eh, sizes… nothing new, something about how small Jimmy probably is." Libby said, making Cindy smile and laugh. Cindy leaned into the table trying to catch the girls making fun of Jimmy and his dorky friends.
Ah, humans must love to compare horn sizes, yes, I need to casually enter the conversation, in order to maintain my place in their group. Lilith thought, as Cindy burst out laughing at another snarky comment about how small Jimmy's 'horn,' was.
"Indeed his horn is not as large as the ones on my head, when I am in my demonic form, but I dare say its size is a little cute." Lilith said, as Libby's mouth dropped open, as she puffed her cheeks out trying to contain her laughter.
Cindy choked on her drink, as she burst out laughing, making her strawberry health shake come out of her nose. Cindy was laughing so hard, the entire cafeteria couldn't help but think she was mental, as Libby started wiping up the mess on the table. She was unable to really do so because she was holding her ribcage and laughing.
"Um, I don't understand what is so funny, I only meant to say when it came to combat, there is no way it would-"
Lilith was cut off by Cindy's hand, as she wheezed, "I..I can't take anymore… please… have mercy on us!"
"B-But I do not understand, does he not fight off other males with his horn? Isn't that what it is for?" Lilith asked, as Cindy took a deep breath before falling into another fit of laughter.
"Stawwp, my ribcage is starting to hurt!" Libby cried out, as she banged her hand against the table, erupting into more laughter as the rest of the table blinked in confusion.
I do not understand their culture, Lilith thought as both Cindy and Libby's laughter died down. Once they recovered, they were gasping for air, both sore from their fit, as Cindy cleaned up her face.
"Don't worry Lilith, you will find out more in Sex Ed, and trust me they don't use it for combat… but they do use it for other things." Libby snorted, as Cindy choked back a laugh and swallowed to revive her dry throat.
Once lunch was over, Cindy couldn't help but want there to be more time for it, Lilith was a riot! The demon's comments put her in a cheerful mood as she went to her next class, walking Lilith to Sex Ed and waving goodbye to her.
Libby and Cindy went to their class, but both of them were jumping in their seats, giggling about how Lilith's reaction must have been. The hour took forever to go by, but once the class was over, Cindy and Libby practically rushed to Sex Ed to catch the demon before she went to her next class.
Lilith seemed to be jumping every time a boy brushed past her, her eyes were wide, and her face pale, as Libby and Cindy approached her with wide grins.
"How was Sex Ed Lilith?" Libby cooed, as the demon suddenly grabbed her shoulders.
"Tell it to me straight, what gender am I?" Lilith asked in a shaky tone.
"You are a female, I-I think." Cindy said, as the demon shook her head and blinked.
"No, the h-horn… t-the way it comes ALIVE, birth… Mass pain!" Lilith trembled, as Libby and Cindy laughed slapping the mortified demon on the shoulder.
It didn't make any sense, the teacher had told the class about how two humans get intimate with each other and to be careful… because it could lead to a certain action. Lust, that was what he called it, he said most people have lust instead of love, which could lead to heartbreak and regret.
Females, seem to have more attachment to their mates and feel more emotionally connected, making everything intense and pleasurable when the time is right… interesting.. terrifying… but interesting.
Do I have a female reproductive system? Could I experience this feeling called lust? What is it? What is this romantic love he spoke of? I had always thought that love only went so deep, but apparently this act was supposed to connect two humans, in a way that cannot be explained.
"I need to check something," Lilith said, taking Libby's purse and grabbing a small mirror. Lilith ran to the bathroom and was gone for about ten minutes before she returned, without the mirror.
Cindy and Libby were confused as to what that was about, until Lilith stood in front of them and spoke.
"I indeed am female and have a-"
Libby slapped her hand over Lilith's mouth, cutting her off as she giggled softly.
"You can't go around saying things like that, if you have any questions just come talk to me about them later alright?"
Lilith nodded her head, before Libby removed her hand from the demon's mouth. The three girls laughed quietly, as a slight blush formed on Lilith's cheeks, before she grinned happily.
"Hey would you like to hang out with us after school?" Cindy asked, eagerly looking at Lilith, as the demon nodded.
"I would love to, but I would have to ask Jimmy if I could leave his lab for a bit," Lilith said. Cindy's eyes sparkled mischievously, as Libby smiled at her friend, noticing her excitement.
"W-Wait, Neutron actually allows you to stay in his lab…. alone?" Cindy asked, her voice rising with growing curiosity and withheld enthusiasm.
"Yeah, I am sure he wouldn't mind you two coming over, I just have to ask him if I am allowed to have friends over." Lilith said.
"NO," Cindy yelled, making the demon jump, as she cleared her throat and continued calmly, "n-neutron lets us in his lab all the time, don't bother asking him, there would be no point. Unfortunately, I think I lost the key to his lab a while back, you would have to let us in."
Cindy swallowed as the demon stared at her, dang I hope I am not going to hell for lying to a demon.
Lilith happily grinned, causing Cindy to relax…. Lilith didn't seem to catch onto her lie.
"Alright I will not mention it to him, shall you come over at around sunset?" Lilith asked, Cindy and Libby nodded their heads quickly as they grinned as if they were going mad with excitement.
Cindy and Libby waved goodbye to Lilith and started heading to their next class, as they walked out of her hearing range.
"We are totally going to spray paint all over his stuff aren't we?" Libby giggled, Cindy nodded her head shifting her textbook in her hand.
"He's going to be so pissed!" Cindy said, bursting out into laughter as the two went to their next class, clearly in a good mood, knowing very well how much fun they were going to have in an hour.
After school Lilith almost ran over a few kids as she ran towards the school doors, and shadow traveled all the way back to Jimmy's lab after a few stops. Lilith popped out of the metal floor, as Jimmy tampered with a few vials of strange chemicals, raising an eyebrow as Lilith tip-toed towards the spare bedroom.
"I saw you shadow traveling as soon as you were out of school, you were gone for a while, I assumed you had something to do so I just came here." Jimmy said, as he poured a fizzing and foamy chemical into a pan.
Lilith came up to Jimmy, resting her head on his shoulder as she stared at the strange chemicals that had a scent to them…. almost smelling of the emotions Lilith could sense.
Jimmy took the pan, before mixing another vial into the pan, and shaking it around until the liquid flashed and turned red.
"I have no one to talk to, so I am just going to go ahead and tell you what this is," Jimmy said, not taking his eye off the pan. Lilith wanted to touch this liquid, it looked fun as it poured out a smoky substance, "Lilith you cannot let this stuff fall under any circumstances."
Lilith dreamily looked at the substance, "yeah, yeah got it."
Jimmy poured the substance in a glass tube, before bottling it with a cork.
"This tube contains pure romantic desire, making anyone exposed to it not be able to hold back their feelings. I made something like this a while back, to try and make an antidote, but I failed." Jimmy said, as Lilith started to grin.
"Ah, you are trying to reverse the strange feelings you felt towards Cindy yesterday, yes?"
Jimmy was so shocked her almost dropped the glass tube, "N-NO, that is not why I am making this! This is purely for scientific research! Cindy has never made me feel anything other than disgust… a-and frustration!"
"So… Can I borrow that tube? I want to experience this romantic desire!" Lilith giggled playfully, reaching out for the tube.
"No Lilith, one whiff of this stuff and your whole body will go crazy! Tingly sensations, warmth all over the body, unable to get a certain person out of your mind, and… and other things Sex Ed probably warned you about!"
Lilith frowned, "so this is pretty much a bottle full of undeveloped sexual hormones, why would you create it?"
Jimmy flinched, "w-well I have never really understood romance, and the way the body reacts when it's with someone special. I created this to study it, and understand why I feel so strangely when I am with-" he stopped, before sweating nervously, "I-I mean, I wasn't talking about Vortex, I was TRYING to say I was studying it to understand why other people feel strangely around females."
Lilith looked at her nails, as Jimmy walked the vial of the dangerous chemical towards a quarantined area.
"I bet you wouldn't be trying to stop your body from feeling the way it does around Cindy, if it were Betty Quinlan instead of her." Lilith mumbled, making Jimmy yell out in surprise as he popped his head out of his protected dangerous chemical room.
"Lilith stop looking through my memories!" Jimmy squeaked, his voice cracking out of embarrassment.
Lilith continued to look through his memories, before coming across the past failures of his love potion.
"Hmm, looks like you did have a little slip up with your little 'love potion,' will this chemical make someone fall in love with the first person they see as well?" Lilith asked, as Jimmy closed the metal door behind him.
"I don't know, but if I am to guess, if they are exposed to it, they will reveal their deepest romantic desires, and it will intensify the feelings they already have."
Lilith nodded her head, Jimmy was just ASKING for me to just cause some mischief… Seriously, this was just screaming at me to knock it over.
Jimmy sighed before wiping the drops of sweat off of his forehead, "Lilith guard the lab, I am going to run a few errands that my mom asked me to do."
Lilith laughed loudly, "sure, I am totally not excited for you to leave.. or anything.. nope not me!"
Jimmy gave her a strange looked before departing from his lab, and closing the doors behind him. Lilith yelled out in excitement, this was the first time she has ever hung out with her same gender, ooh, I wonder what different things females talk about!
Lilith went through the wall, before poking her head outside, sealing her body within the wall, as she sneakily watched for her female companions. She suddenly saw Cindy and Libby giggling as they snuck into Jimmy's backyard, covered in black clothing, and holding a duffle bag that seemed to be bulging.
Hmm, black clothing? Oh who cares, who am I to judge, I wear black all the time.
Libby placed the duffle bag by her leg, as Lilith poked her head out from her shadow covering the wall. Lilith stuck her hands out, before pulling Cindy and Libby into the shadow along with their bag, before she quickly removed the shadow from the wall.
Cindy and Libby were pulled into the lab, being spit out of the darkness, as Lilith stood behind them.
"Libby, we are actually standing in Neutron's LAB! I never thought this moment would ever happen!" Cindy giggled, as Libby kicked open the bag grabbing a can of spray paint.
"Girl shut up and start spraying things," Libby teased, as Cindy pulled up her black cowl nervous about there being cameras in his lab.
"Oh screw the cowl, who cares if he sees my face!" Cindy said, as Libby tossed her a can. The two skipped happily to the middle of the lab, not knowing where to start first, since everything needed redecorating.
"Um, what exactly are we doing here?" Lilith asked, as Cindy tossed her a can.
"We are spray painting Neutron's lab, trust me it is going to be fun… and I know you are a demon… so this will also be destructive."
Lilith's eyes sparkled, this seemed fun, but for some reason, inside her gut something was telling her it was wrong. Lilith placed the can on the ground, and shied away from the two girls, fiddling with her hands as she twisted her face and she pondered.
Cindy looked over to Libby, before grinning at the demon, "think fast Lilith!"
A can went sailing towards the demon at dangerous speeds, as the demon's instincts kicked in making her fangs appear in her mouth. The demon leapt towards the can, before sinking her teeth in the metal, causing a giant cloud of pink spray paint to explode out of the container and cover the entire lab and the demon in a bright pink hue.
Lilith coughed, before wheezing in the giant cloud of pink paint, dropping the can from her mouth. The demon wiped her eyes, her entire body was covered in spray paint! Libby and Cindy giggled, as the demon looked around at the giant mess around her.
"That's the spirit Lilith, keep it up!" Libby said, giving the demon a thumbs up.
Lilith felt like her lungs were burning, but she felt herself feeling happy, as her voice quietly shifted into a laugh.
Cindy jumped on Jimmy's control panel attached to his big computer screen, as she slowly started spraying onto the screen.
Cindy bit her lip as she scolded Neutron mentally, this ought to teach you about how I really feel about you!
When bright a bright pink word formed on the screen, Cindy stepped back to admire her work, before kicking over a pile of papers on his desk. Cindy yelled loudly, before spraying the floor and the walls with her can.
Libby knocked over the shelves, playing with a few inventions, as Cindy pocketed a few to take home.
"Oooh, girl look a hypno beam! You think I could use this to become prom queen some day?" Libby giggled as Cindy shrugged with a laugh.
Lilith couldn't help it, she was flying in the air playing with the can of spray paint as she painted all over her friend's walls. Lilith's tail swished, as she slapped the wall to make sure her work was dry.
Cindy broke away from Libby who was testing out Jimmy's shrink ray, as she came to a heavily protected room, that was guarded by thick metal doors and long army looking glass.
Cindy grinned excitedly, this looks important, might as well lighten this room up a bit.
The blond haired girl pressed a button and the doors opened, allowing the girl inside, as she looked at a single table in the room, with a standing glass tube. Cindy shrugged before standing close to the wall, and letting loose a large cloud of spray paint.
Cindy let too much at a time, causing it to flood out of the can and make her gag, she stumbled back from the paint, and her hip hit the edge of a table. Cindy flinched when she heard something fall on the floor, and shatter.
A red flowing smoke started taking over the floor, as Cindy stepped away from it. Unfortunately, she couldn't help but inhale, as the substance dispersed, leaving nothing but the broken tube on the floor.
Cindy shook it off, before leaving the room, since she had already made a huge glob of wet paint stick on the wall. Cindy rejoined her friends, who had completely trashed Jimmy's lab, and had written graffiti all over the walls, floor, and ceiling.
Cindy felt her stomach shift, but she dismissed it, before admiring her friend's work.
Lilith's ears shifted, as she sniffed, interesting… Cindy's hormones… they are changing… rapidly… why is this?
Lilith looked at Cindy, but she looked relatively normal, so the demon shrugged it off. Her sense of smell must have been affected by the spray paint!
