The next day went by at its usual snail's pace. Again, Timmy aced his History quiz, much to the chagrin of his teacher Mrs. McCormick. The whole class erupted in laughter as she nearly had a nervous breakdown as she handed him his test back. After class, Timmy and Tootie met up with Chester, A.J., Veronica and Trixie.
"I found that device Toot, so I'm gonna give him a call." Timmy said.
"What device, and who is he?" Chester inquired as Veronica snuggled up closer to him.
"I found that device that lets me talk with Jimmy Neutron. I'm thinking of taking Tootie to Retroville."
Chester and A.J. popped up with big grins on their faces.
"Can we come? It's been too long since I saw that fudge head Neutron!" Chester called out.
"I too have been wondering about him, also if Sheen is as hyper as I remember and if Carl is still obsessed with llamas." A.J. added.
"You just want to go to see Libby again!" Timmy replied, making kissey faces at A.J., who slugged him lightly in the shoulder.
"Like, what are they talking about?" Veronica asked.
"Remember when that kid that claimed his name was Jimmy Neutron came into class and we all thought it was Timmy?" Tootie asked. Both Trixie and Veronica nodded their heads.
"Well, it was true. His name really was Jimmy Neutron, and he was from another dimension. Somehow, Timmy got sucked into their universe and made friends with him and his friends." Tootie replied. She neglected to tell them about the picture she found of Timmy and Cindy at the dance.
"Tell you what guys, I'll try to talk Neutron into bringing the guys with him back here to Dimmsdale while Tootie hangs out with Cindy and Libby in Retroville." Timmy told his best friends.
"Thanks Timmy!" both shouted. The six split up, with Timmy and Tootie heading back to Timmy's house. His parents weren't home, so they made their way up to his room. He picked up the device, punched in the right coordinates, and made the call.
"Hey Neutron…are you there?" Timmy said into the device. All of a sudden, a picture of a young man with fudge like hair popped onto the screen.
Timmy Turner? What's up man…long time no see! the young man responded.
"I know, sorry about that. Anyway do you think it would be cool if I popped into Retroville this weekend? I'll be bringing my girlfriend with me."
Sure, in fact: Carl and Sheen have been bugging me to see when you would be coming back…wait…your girlfriend?
"Yeah my girlfriend. I believe that you two have met before."
He handed the device to Tootie, and heard a small yelp come from the device.
AH! It's you! Stay away from me you psychopath! Tootie gave a weak smile to Timmy, then looked back at the device.
"I'm very sorry Jimmy, I thought you were Timmy!"
"She's really calmed down Neutron, so don't worry about that. Say, Chester and A.J. want to hang out with you, Carl and Sheen. Do you think we can have the girls hang out while we boys go do our own thing?"
That sounds fine, I'm sure Cindy would love to meet Trudy.
"Her name's Tiffany, but we all call her Tootie Nerd-tron."
Right, sorry about that, and don't call me "Nerd-tron" Beaver boy! Timmy just smiled.
"Ah, good times! Hold on a minute…I want to ask Tootie something."
He turned to Tootie. "Do you think that Trixie and Veronica would want to come along as well? So you don't feel so alone?" Tootie ran that through her head.
With Trixie and Veronica there, I won't be tempted to kill or maim this Cindy girl. Will they go for it though? she thought.
"I'll ask, but I'm sure that they'd love to come along!"
Timmy smiled and turned back to the device.
"Hey, would it be ok if Chester and A.J.'s girlfriends tag along with us? I thought Tootie wouldn't feel so alone then."
Jimmy thought that through, then said Sure, I bet Cindy and Libby would love to meet them. What are their names?
"Trixie and Veronica."
All right, I'll let everyone know you guys are coming then. You thinking Saturday?
"That works for me, we'll coordinate schedules."
Sounds like a plan, I gotta go, Cindy and I are going on a date to see the new Jet Fusion movie.
"All right, say hi to everyone for me. See ya Saturday!"
See ya later Turner!
With that, the screen went dark. "I'm gonna go talk to Trixie and Veronica honey, I'll be back by 6:30 if that's all right with you." Tootie said. Timmy nodded his head. They kissed and Tootie left.
Once she was gone, Timmy turned to his goldfish bowl, and Cosmo and Wanda once more poofed before him.
"Wow, that went well." Wanda said, her concern about Tootie and Cindy not abated.
"Yeah, now how do I get you two by Trixie, Veronica and Tootie without giving you guys away?" Timmy wondered aloud.
"That's easy, just say your dad's company invented us, and your trying us out!" Cosmo called from across the room. Timmy and Wanda just stared at him in shock.
"That was a good idea, and for it being Comso's idea is stunning!" Timmy said.
"Pudding?" Cosmo replied.
"Well, easy come, easy go." Wanda said as her and Timmy broke out laughing.
Meanwhile…back in Retroville…
Jimmy rushed out of the lab and back into his house, nearly running his mother over and knocking the freshly baked blueberry pie out of her hands in the process.
"Just where are you going in such a hurry young man?" Mrs. Neutron asked.
"I gotta get ready for my date with Cindy, we're going to see the new Jet Fusion movie remember?" he replied.
"That's right sugar-booger, our little Jimbo is all grown up." Mr. Neutron called from the living room.
Mrs. Neutron just sighed, "Go on, I don't want you to be late in picking Cindy up." Jimmy smiled, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Mom, love you, gotta go, bye!" he yelled as he rushed up the steps.
15 minutes later, Jimmy, Cindy, Sheen, and Libby were in the hover car on their way to the movie. They were all chatting about school, when Jimmy remembered what he wanted to ask the girls.
"Hey, guess who I heard from this afternoon?" he said. They all tried to guess, with Sheen even yelling out "My mom?!" They all stared at him, and he slumped down in his seat dejected.
"No guys, Timmy Turner!" They all gasped in shock.
"Wow! Timmy called you? It's been what…5 years?" Cindy asked.
"Well, we have talked off and on since that whole "Villain who's name isn't Shirley" business. But he wanted to know if he and his girlfriend and their friends could pop in over the weekend."
Libby popped up and said "His girlfriend?"
"Yeah, it's that girl I was telling you guys about." Jimmy replied.
Cindy just gaped at him, "The one who thought you were him in some kind of costume?"
Jimmy just cringed at the memory. "He says that she has calmed down, plus she wants to apologize to me in person." The girls just nodded at this.
"Hey guys, Chester and A.J. are coming with him, and they want to hang out, is that cool with you Sheen?" He looked at an excited Sheen, who had a big smile on his face.
"Sure Jimmy, as long as A.J. keeps his hands off my woman!" he yelled, earning him a well deserved glare from Libby.
Jimmy smiled, "That brings me to something more. Not only are Chester and A.J. coming, but so are their girlfriends. I was thinking that Timmy's, Chester's and A.J.'s girlfriends could hang out with you two, while we young men go back to Dimmsdale and have some fun."
Libby and Cindy looked at each other, then at Jimmy. "It's fine with me." Libby said.
"Same here, it's going to be great to meet these girls, especially…what did you say Timmy's girlfriend's name was?"
Jimmy thought hard, then remembered. "Her name is Tiffany, but they call her by her nickname: "Tootie", I believe it is." He replied. They all got a chuckle out of the name, and its obvious connotations.
Meanwhile, back in Dimmsdale at stately Tang Manor…
"Another dimension? Sounds like fun Tiff!" Trixie said.
"Yeah, like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Veronica called from the opposite side of the room. Tootie had been explaining what her and Timmy wanted to do on Saturday. She didn't think that it would go over well, but both of the girls seemed to be excited about the opportunity.
The girls were sitting in Trixie's enormous room, they had finished their homework and now were trying out new make-up and hair styles on one another. "Apparently, the plan is for us girls to have the day to ourselves, while the boys have a "Guys Day Out". I can just imagine what kind of trouble those three, along with three more conspirators can get into!" Tootie said, giggling while Veronica was trying to tie her hair into a loose bun.
The three laughed hard at that. Then Tootie remembered that she had to fill Timmy in, so she got out her cell phone and called him.
Their in? Perfect, once Neutron gets back from his date, I'll let him know.
She could almost hear the smile in his voice, because it matched the one plastered on her face. "All three of us are really excited, I think we'll all get along just fine."
So long as you don't try to attack Cindy that is.
"And just what does that mean?"
Toot, she is a Red Belt in Tae-kwon-do, and she also studies karate. I don't want you to get hurt.
Tootie's expression soured. "Contrary to popular belief, I can hold my own Timothy."
That got a chorus of ooohs from Trixie and Veronica. They knew Timmy was in trouble when anyone, especially Tootie called him by his full first name.
I just don't want to have to carry you back to Dimmsdale in pieces Tiffany.
She just gave the phone a smirk. "Your concerns flatter me, but I'll be ok, I got my girls to watch out for me." She could hear the agitation in his voice when he responded.
So if you got your girls, then why are you still with me?
Tootie got a wicked smile on her face. "Because I don't swing that way, and besides your too cute to let go." She could almost hear his eyes rolling, he knew when he was beat.
All right Toot, you win. I'll trust you not to get into trouble.
"Thanks hon, listen, I gotta go, but I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Sounds like a plan babe.
"Love ya!"
Love ya too.
At the not so stately Turner Residence…
After he hung up, Timmy left a message with Goddard, telling Jimmy that Trixie and Veronica were indeed coming along, and that they were thinking of coming early, so they could spend as much time together as possible. After that, he went about doing his homework.
While doing it, he looked up and noticed that Wanda wasn't too happy with her husband. He must of made one of his trademark insane comments about her, or her weight, or her cooking, and she had that "prepare for a cinder block strapped to an anvil on your head" look in her eyes. So Timmy quickly said "Wanda, I wish you had a double chocolate hot fudge sundae!". Wanda looked at him and got a big grin on her face as she poofed one up and began to devour it. Cosmo for his part was never the wiser about the impending anvil attack.
Meanwhile, Tootie had gotten home, and was now laying on her bed in her pajamas, with the ever present Timmy doll at her side. She let her mind drift off, but that voice came back full force.
This is going to be so much fun! Leave it to Timmy to find a way to another dimension, and make friends there! she thought lazily.
Yeah, and to find yet another girl to stay away from you! The voice cried out.
Shut up! Timmy loves me and ONLY me get it? She screamed back
Keep telling yourself that girl. When the chips are down, who do you think he will choose? The voice answered.
He will choose me, just like he did a year ago! Now leave me alone! She yelled back.
When there was no answer from the voice, Tootie just shook her head and crawled under the warm blankets. "I really need to see a professional about that voice." she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep, dreams of her and Timmy's future filling her mind.
A/N: Read and review please. Well, that's all of the exposition. Next chapter, the Dimmsdale gang arrives in Retroville!
