FoO-tUrE

Disclaimer – If we owned Jimmy Neutron, he would have made a flawless Chronoarch.

Author's Note: This is our first fanfiction. We were eleven when we wrote it. In case you haven't noticed so far, we have not used the word 'said.' If you find a spot where we did, feel free to make any flames. However, since we don't, they better be good reviews. We hope you enjoy this fanfiction.

P.S. This is our longest chapter so far.

Chapter Four: The Trip "Home"

The group of six people ventured into Jimmy's newer, higher tech, lab. "Whoa!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"Yeah…this is…high tech?" Cindy…complimented?

"Let's get down to business. I haven't used my precious Chronoarch for nearly a longevity," Mr. Neutron exaggerated. "Now, can you help me work it?"

"Yes, are you sure it still works?" Jimmy interrogated.

"Aww, I'm positive. None of my inventions have ever gone wrong before," Mr. Neutron boasted. Both Cindies rolled their eyes in unison and muttered, 'Pfft. Yeah, right.'

"Well, here we-" Jimmy started, but Alyssa stopped him.

"Oh, oh, oh," she cried. "I am going to miss you! I am going to really, truly, dearly, sincerely miss you! Sorry I thought you were intruders…I didn't know how nice you were back then. Oh boy, it seems like I just met you a couple of minutes ago," Alyssa whimpered.

"But you DiD just meet us a few minutes ago," Cindy pointed out.

"Oh, well, that's beside the point. I hope you had fun in the future!" Alyssa's eyes brimmed with tears.

"FoO-tUrE!" Lachelle stated proudly.

Jimmy patted Alyssa on the head, and agreed that he would miss her as well. Cindy was very touched by the moment, so she hugged Alyssa and replied, "I will miss you too, my child," Cindy and Jimmy awkwardly turned to their future selves and Lachelle. They then bid their farewells to the group of three people.

As Jimmy and Cindy got ready to leave, the doorbell rang. (A.N. dun dun dun) Alyssa then grabbed her "emergency" whistle. Apparently, this was a problem, and Mr. and Mrs. Neutron ran upstairs to catch Alyssa.

"Well, we better get going," Cindy declared.

"Bye Lachelle," Jimmy and Cindy stated in unison. They could still hear Alyssa's whistle from upstairs.

Jimmy programmed the machine so they could go back to 2005. The two children then jumped into the pink and white screen simultaneously, ready for a peaceful flight home…and they got anything BuT that. They were jerked left, right, up, backwards, and finally hit the sidewalks of Retroville. But this wasn't the Retroville of 2005…was it? The mall had new strobe lights and Lindbergh Elementary had a newly done playground.

After taking in all of their surroundings, Cindy wrangled, "Nerdtron, where did you ingenious invention land us?"

"In Retroville," Jimmy replied uncomfortably.

"Great way to point out the obvious, King Cranium!" Cindy congratulated. "But in what year?"

"Well, not 2005," Jimmy remarked, now shifting from foot to foot with and angry glint in his eyes.

"Spewtron, that ReAlLy helped," Cindy sarcastically stated.

By now, Jimmy was unbelievably perturbed. "How should I know!" Jimmy exploded.

"Sorry, it's just that it was your invention," Cindy answered.

"Your point being-"

Cindy cut him off. "That you should be the one to ask what year it is."

"Why me? They'll think I'm crazy!" Jimmy questioned.

"Better you than me," Cindy smiled.

"Not really," Jimmy retorted.

Cindy just rolled her eyes. "You know, I could write a newspaper article about this! It would be called 'Lost in Time', Dated -" Jimmy interrupted her.

"That's it!" he exclaimed.

"What, you liked my newspaper idea?" Cindy asked hopefully.

"Well… …not particularly. It's just that we could find a newspaper to find out what year it is!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"That's brili- I mean, I'm glad you took my hint," Cindy corrected herself.

"YOUR HINT!" Jimmy yelled. "You were just fantasizing about some newspaper article for extra credit in English!"

"I was not, I was hoping you would take the hint without me looking like a total and complete GeNiUs!" Cindy hinted.

"You were not, you were just… just… fantasizing!"

"Hey look, a newspaper!" Cindy hollered, obviously trying to avoid grappling for any longer. Jimmy then started searching for the newspaper on the ground. "Actually, it's at the newspaper stand," Cindy stated pointedly after watching him amusedly for a few moments.

"Oh, right, I knew that," Jimmy covered up. Cindy just rolled her eyes.

"Here we go… Retroville Times… dated… 2026!" Cindy exclaimed.

"That means our future selves are 32," Jimmy calculated.

"Nice to know…now how are we going to find…you know…us…I mean, what if we moved or something?" Cindy wearily replied.

"What if we didn't?" Jimmy smiled.

"Fine, we'll go to our old house. Do you by any chance remember the address?" Cindy interrogated.

"Yes, it was 1237 Willow Avenue," Jimmy commented. They started on their long journey to their house. As they finally stumbled up the doorstep, they bantered about who had to ring the doorbell. Finally, Jimmy pushed Cindy into the doorbell. DiNg DoNg!

"Hello?" somebody croaked through a crack through the door.

"Um…hi…may we speak to Mr. and Mrs. Neutron?" Jimmy questioned.

"No, I'm sorry, they moved to Boston five years ago," the mysterious person croaked again, though sounding kinder than at first.

"Oh, do you know where they would be now?" Cindy replied, while Jimmy mouthed the word 'Boston', obviously confusified.

"All I know is that they moved to Boston five years ago, they might have moved back, but I honestly I have no idea," the strange person confessed.

"Oh, well, thank you," Jimmy thanked, and he and Cindy started to turn around.

"Wait, I have this device where you can find the location of someone by typing in their name," the person revealed. Jimmy remembered inventing something like that as a child, but kept his mouth shut. Jimmy and Cindy then walked inside. They typed their names into the strange machine. It read: James Isaac Neutron, 101 Sycamore Valley Road, Retroville, Texas. Underneath that, it said: Cynthia Aurora Neutron, Lachelle Marie Neutron, Alyssa Rose Neutron, and Dustin Reed Neutron. Cindy stared blankly at the screen and eventually mouthed the word 'Dustin' and was surely befuddled. Jimmy just shrugged.

"Well… …thank you for letting us use your machine!" Cindy thanked.

"You're welcome," the peculiar person stated. Jimmy and Cindy started on their long, treacherous journey to 101 Sycamore Valley Road. Once they reached their destination, Jimmy and Cindy once again wrangled about who should ring the doorbell. This time, Cindy pushed Jimmy into the doorbell; DING DONG……BOOM!

"Hello?" Mr. Neutron squeaked as he opened the door. When he was able to properly see the two children, he interrogated, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, YOUR time machine broke and sent us to 2026 instead of 2005!" Jimmy exploded.

"Now we'll never get back," Cindy complained. Mr. Neutron let the depressed children in.

Well, we hope you liked it...it's not the end as you might have guessed. I'm sorry, but it might take awhile to get chapter 6 up...not the chapter after this one but the chapter after the chapter after this one. That's because we have all these flashbacks (which we've finished) but unfortunatly we still need to add transitions. Please R&R.
