Chapter 7: The Perfect Fit 3000

Cindy awoke the next morning to find herself cuddled up in James' huge king-sized bed. Surely he didn't need such a massive one all to himself…but then she remembered that up to two months prior, Cynthia had shared it with him. Cindy shuddered. No matter how much more appealing the future was appearing by the second, this new aspect was more than a little creepy.

Cindy yawned and pulled off the comforter, and then climbed out of bed, wondering to herself if the boys were awake yet. Before leaving to find out, however, she wanted to take a good look around the room. She first headed over to a door on the left side of the room. It appeared to be a big walk-in closet, but when she peeked inside, there was nothing in it.

Hm, that's funny, Cindy thought to herself, frowning all the while. This was probably another of James' inventions, and there must be some way to activate it. She took a step inside and closed the door behind her. Suddenly she heard a whirring noise, and it became pitch black. Cindy held still as a red light scanned her figure. When it was finished, the lights turned back on, revealing racks and racks of clothes—not to mention rows of shoes underneath, and a shelf with a bunch of accessories on it. What was even odder was that when she examined the articles of clothing, they were all exactly her size.

It's almost as if—as if they were designed for me! Cindy realized. Immediately the closed door, darkness, and scanner all made sense. They were all parts of some sort of contraption that could produce clothes and shoes that would fit you perfectly. She skimmed through the various outfits, and a long-sleeved shirt with green stripes caught her eye. After all, it was October, and the weather was a little chilly outside. Besides the shirt, she also found some black pants, a green belt, and black Converse shoes. She then spied a black and green necklace that would match perfectly. Satisfied with her choices, she quickly changed, and when she opened the door to leave the closet, everything disappeared again. Had she dreamed it all? Cindy glanced down at her ensemble and decided against that idea. This had definitely been one of James' inventions, and she had to admit that it was a great one.

Next she headed to the bathroom, where she allowed another of James' inventions to do her teeth, hair, and make-up. Flipping through the various hairstyle choices, she rested upon a bun, leaving two strands of hair to hang down her face. Once she was done, she stepped back to examine herself in the mirror.

Suddenly a knock was heard on the door. "Cindy!" James called. "You have to let me in now. I need to get ready!"

Cindy hurried over, unlocked the door, and then swung it open. "Hi!" she said brightly. "How do I look?"

James glanced down at her, confused, when suddenly a smile broke out on his face. "Oh! You must have discovered the mall!" he chuckled.

"The mall?" Cindy asked, frowning in bewilderment. "What the heck are you talking about?"

"I mean the closet. The mall was our little nickname for my invention, the Perfect Fit 3000, which was another one of Cynthia's brilliant ideas," James explained. He glanced over at it and sighed. "Man, I miss having her around to help me with things like that. It seems like ages since we've both worked in the lab together."

Cindy looked at him sympathetically. "Don't worry," she tried to cheer him, "today all of that will change!"

Jimmy smiled half-heartedly. "I hope so, Cindy. I sure do hope so."

James opened a kitchen cabinet. "Spaghetti," he said. Instantly a package appeared, which he grabbed and ripped open. "So, I just put this in the pot, right?" he asked Cindy.

"First you have to break the noodles in half," Cindy instructed. Duh, everyone knew that. She eyed him suspiciously. "I thought you said you knew how to make it, genius."

"Well, mostly, anyway," James mumbled as he followed Cindy's coaching. After breaking them, he placed the noodles into the pot full of water that was sitting on the stove. He was about to turn the dial to high, when Cindy stopped him.

"Wait!" she exclaimed, shaking her head. "Did you put the oil in yet?"

"Oil?" James asked, perplexed. "What do I need that for?"

"You have to put in a drop of oil so that the noodles won't stick to the bottom," Cindy explained. She let out a laugh. "Boy, when you said you couldn't cook, you weren't kidding!"

James grinned. "Well, who really needs to learn when you have a smart kitchen?" he asked. "Not to mention a wonderful wife who doesn't mind doing it herself." He winked at Cindy, who giggled in return.

"Sometimes I think you haven't changed at all," she told him. "Always looking for the easy way out of things."

"Thanks a lot, Vortex," Jimmy remarked. He was leaning up against a wall, watching the two interact with one another as they prepared for Cynthia's arrival. He was getting pretty annoyed with the way they played around with one another, and was almost positive that Cindy had a thing for his older self.

"Jimmy, you can just shut up," Cindy snapped. "I wasn't talking to you. And anyway, do you realize that you've left James and I to do all the work? You didn't help us with anything. Not the flowers, not the candles, not the place settings...and now you're not even helping with dinner!"

"So?" Jimmy shrugged. "You can see how little he knows about this, and I'm nine years younger. What do you honestly expect from me?"

"At least he's actually trying!" Cindy huffed. "You act like...like you don't even care whether or not James stays heartbroken for the rest of his life! And you were the one who was trying so desperately to convince us of his faithfulness. Who needs you anyways?" Jimmy shook his head, his eyes portraying a look of...disappointment? Cindy couldn't tell. But whatever it was, it wasn't good.

"Apparently not you," Jimmy said. With that, he turned and walked out of the kitchen.

A/N: Hi, everyone! That was Chapter 7! I'm sorry that it was sort of on the boring side. It was more of a transitional piece, and the next one should be more entertaining. My love to all of you!

Philip the Great: That's fine, as long as I know that you're still reading it! I'm glad that you like it, and happy 2007 to you, too!

WAYAMY27NARF: Oh, then that's good! Yes, I know what you mean about Jimmy. We don't want him ruining it for the both of them, now do we? I hope you like the next chapter; this one was sort of just a transition and not as interesting. Oh, well. Keep reading!

MidnightSuburbia: Sorry about all the Betty bashing. As you've probably already guessed, I don't like her one bit. Thank you for continuing to read on anyways, though. I must be doing something right, then! I understand about the alerts. I was missing your reviews for a while! Everything's cool, though. Thanks for the compliments despite what I've said about Betty! I look forward to reading your reviews in the future!

Lady Lola Laflaunda: Yes, they've finally convinced her to come hear him out! Let's just hope everything goes smoothly for them...

Stay-Away: Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The dinner part should be coming in the next chapter, and I hope that this one didn't bore you too much! Keep reading!

acosta perez jose ramiro: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for telling me what you think about my other idea. I wasn't sure if it was a good one, but I might get around to writing it once I've finished this one. You know, as a sort of prequel? Thanks for reviewing!

xJCManiak12x: Thank you! I'm beginning to think that this is, in fact, my best story so far. It seems that I'm getting better as I go along. Glad you like it!

Aaliyah93: Well, thank you! One of my other friends told me that I should start writing JN episodes for DNA Productions, LOL. That would be awesome, I must admit! I didn't realize that I had the anonymous reviews blocked, so I went ahead and fixed that for you! About the last part in Chapter 6: yes, I did write that just to make people laugh. I'm glad that it was amusing to someone other than me! Thanks for reading!
