Chapter Two: Swirls of Pink and White
"Hey, Nerdtron let me in!" Cindy screeched at Jimmy's lab. She got no answer… then…
"Try asking nicer, VoRtEx!" bellowed Jimmy.
"Fine," Cindy, announced, "Nerdtron, please let me in!"
A trap door suddenly opened under her feet. She slid down and landed in a heap in Jimmy's precious lab.
"If you don't mind, I invited Sheen, Libby, and Carl over to see me prove you wrong," Jimmy boasted, growing surer than ever.
"Sure, Neutroid, you say that now," Cindy nagged while rolling her eyes.
"Anyway, this is my Chronoarch, you can either look at a moving picture on the screen or jump into a scene," explained Jimmy. A screen showing swirls of pink and white was standing in front of the children. "So, VoRtEx, push this button when I say-" Cindy pushed the button. "Fine, be that way," Jimmy scolded. Before he could give further instruction, she jumped inside of the swirling screen. Jimmy scrambled in after her.
When Jimmy and Cindy fell into their future, it was 15 years later. Flying cars were soaring around in the sky and skyscrapers were all over the town. They were obviously in the downtown Retroville. It was congested with people, and it looked like it was near Christmas. While getting jostled in the prodigious crowds, they attempted to find the future Cindy, Jimmy sited his future self. I wonder what he/I'm doing here, Jimmy wondered.
"King Cranium, by the looks of it, it's Christmastime," Cindy remarked.
What was your first clue, Jimmy thought. Out loud, he decided, "I am going to talk to the future me. Want to come?"
"Um…sure," Cindy replied.
"Hey Jimmy," Jimmy called. Future Jimmy stared at the little Jimmy.
"Oh, if it isn't the past me," older Jimmy recalled.
"Yeah, why are you here, you know, shopping for Christmas presents?" Jimmy asked.
"Actually, I'm looking for presents for my family," Future Jimmy informed.
"And your family is…" Cindy squeaked.
"Well, I have two daughters," future Jimmy explained.
"How old are they and what are their names?" Cindy wondered.
"Did you AlWaYs ask that many questions?" Future Jimmy wanted to know.
"Possibly, just answer my questions!" Cindy squealed.
"Okay, okay, okay. My eldest daughter is named Alyssa and she is 4-years-old. My other daughter is one-year-old and she is named Lachelle," Future Jimmy replied.
"Just one more thing," Cindy insisted. "Who is your wife?"
The Future Jimmy hesitated a moment. "Well, she is you," he revealed simply. However, the kids did not take it as a simple statement.
"WHAT!" they screamed in unison.
"WHAT?" Cindy added again. "CYNTHIA AURORA VOREX IS NOW CYNTHIA AURORA NEUTRON!" Cindy then stood there dumbfounded beyond belief.
"Technically, yes," the now father Jimmy answered, waving off their disbelief, "but you'll understand when you're older."
"I NEED TO SPEAK TO MRS. 'NEUTRON'!" Cindy demanded.
"Fine, I can take you to her," 26 year old Jimmy exploded. Little Jimmy just sat their dumbfounded, groping for a reason he would ever marry Ci-Vortex.
