Jimmy was working fast and furious on the upgrades to his invention. He had precious time to spare, seeing that as soon as Timmy's parents returned, Tootie and Cindy would turn him into mince meat! The upgrades should have taken less then five minutes. But instead, because he was in a rush, it had taken fifteen. He continued to tinker and put in the necessary components while he prayed that he wasn't too late to save his inter-dimensional best friend.
Timmy meanwhile was on pins and needles. Cosmo and Wanda should have been back two minutes ago, but it had become a more regular practice of theirs to be late. Goodness only knew why, but for now, Timmy didn't care where they were, as long as they got back in time.
Outside, the girls just sat there waiting on Timmy's parents to arrive. "I can't believe that Jimmy had another portal with him the whole time and decided that now was the time to use it! I hate it when he outsmarts me!" Cindy proclaimed, pounding her fist into the concrete.
Tootie didn't say anything; she was too busy watching Timmy pace around his room through the open curtains on his room.
It's like he's waiting on someone to bail him out! Tootie thought to herself. Both of the girls knew that their boyfriends were smart enough to get themselves out of this jam, but what they couldn't figure out was how they were going to do it.
In Retroville, Jimmy was putting the final touches on his upgraded device. "Eureka! The hypno-beam now has memory erase capabilities!" he proclaimed to no one in particular.
"Now, to get my ass back to Dimmsdale and save the day!" he yelled as he searched for where he hid the rest of the disposable portals. He found them, activated one, shoved another one in his pocket for the return trip, and went back to save Timmy from certain doom.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, Timmy heard the familiar Ding and saw the cloud of smoke that preceded his godparents' arrival.
"Hi Timmy!" both shouted upon seeing their godson.
"Thank you for the lovely trip to Hershey, Pennsylvania sport!" Wanda cried, chocolate still covering her face.
"Yeah, fortunately no one saw Wanda with her face underneath the fresh chocolate waterfall in the factory! What a pig!" Cosmo giggled.
Timmy saw that his godmother was about to drop the anvil on her husband…again, so he quickly wished she had a triple decker hot fudge sundae with all the trimmings. She smiled, poofed one up and began to devour it.
"I'm glad you guys liked the trip, now I wish that the "Forget Me Knob" was back on my door!" he said. They raised their wands and Poof the knob began to glow a dull gold again.
"Now, come and get me Tootie. You won't even remember why you came up here in the first place when you touch that knob!" Timmy snickered to himself.
Outside, the girls were idly chatting away. "You know, for all of their bluster, once we girls get mad enough, those boys run away in a big hurry!" Tootie said, her eyes not leaving Timmy's window even though he was no longer in sight.
Cindy laughed. "Yeah, it goes to show you that if a woman were president what we could do!" she replied. They sat there in silence for a few moments before Tootie spoke again.
"Even after all he said today, I still love Timmy. I always have, I cannot remember a time where I didn't." she sighed.
Cindy looked at the ground and nodded her head, "Same here with myself and Jimmy, I mean it took me a while to get used to the fact that there was someone smarter then me. I used to torment the hell out of him, but it was like the bully who throws rocks at the girl…or boy in my case…they really like."
Tootie smiled a little at that. "Funny, that's exactly how Timmy put it. He admitted to me that he only went for Trixie near the end to make me mad. He knew I was insanely jealous of her way back when, and he tormented me daily by ignoring me and hitting on Trixie."
Cindy shook her head, "It's just like them to do that. Jimmy did that to me all the time with Betty Quinlan, the one we ran into at the mall. Everyone believes she's innocent and sweet, but I swear she is just a bitch to me because I'm with Jimmy."
Tootie scoffed, "Yeah, Trixie used to be the same way to me. Like Timmy says, "It took puberty to bring out her kinder side." and it's true. A few years ago, I wouldn't have believed that she and I would be best friends."
They continued talking while the other boys just sat there trying to regain their bearings. "That was the funniest thing I have ever seen!" Sheen cried out.
"Yeah, it's always good to see Jimmy get his come-uppance, even though it happens very rarely." Carl added. It was true that they were like brothers to Jimmy, but sometimes they liked to see him taken down a peg or two.
"The look on Timmy's face was priceless! I've never seen him that scared, even when Vicky was around!" Chester said back.
"You had to know that somehow the girls would find out. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it was Goddard that taped them talking all that trash and he went back and showed the girls!" A.J. interjected. Just like with Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen…Timmy, Chester and A.J. were like brothers. But also, they liked it when Timmy opened his mouth and got into trouble…not serious trouble, but like what he's in right now. Yet somehow he always managed to squirm out of it.
None of the four boys would sell their best friend down the river; they just wanted to be there when the proverbial crap hit the fan. Both Jimmy and Timmy had unique talents for getting into…and out of trouble. It never failed to see either one of them make their girlfriends mad at them, only to find Cindy or Tootie locking lips with them a couple of hours later.
"It's disheartening to see when Timmy manages to wriggle out of trouble, but I gotta tip my hat to him. He is like freaking Houdini sometimes I swear!" A.J. said, looking towards where Trixie, Libby, and Veronica stood.
"Those two are going to get out of this, I know it." Trixie said, glancing over at where the other boys stood.
"Yeah, like Timmy always seems to be able to escape trouble…almost like magic." Veronica replied. Libby and Trixie nodded.
"I'll bet Jimmy is going to use one of his inventions to somehow slither his way out of this." Libby said. Trixie and Veronica just shrugged. Leave it to a boy genius to use science to worm his way out of a butt whooping.
Jimmy was hustling through the streets of Dimmsdale trying to get back to Timmy's house before it was too late. He looked at his watch and noted that he had three minutes before Tootie and Cindy would pounce on Timmy.
He tried having a "Brain Blast", but he had no experience in this department, so it failed him for one of the very few times in his life. He was running as fast as his legs would carry him, when he finally turned onto Timmy's street. With the last burst of energy he thought he had, he sprinted up the sidewalk.
Everyone was just sitting around and talking when two headlights appeared before them. Mr. and Mrs. Turner piled out of their old station wagon and looked at the two groups of teens on their lawn.
"I'm not feeding them!" Mrs. Turner said to her husband.
"Good thing for them. Remember what happened that time with Tootie's parents and how they just looked at your cooking and took off running?" Mr. Turner replied. Mrs. Turner just shot her husband a look as they began walking towards the front door.
They walked to the door, and upon finding it locked, Mr. Turner pulled out his house key. However, much to Tootie and Cindy's dismay, Mrs. Turner grabbed a hold of her husband's hand.
"It looks so clean, let's admire its beauty for five more seconds before we go inside." They just stood there, gawking at their door while the teens just looked at one another in shock.
This gave Jimmy ample time to get there. He sprinted up the driveway, tapped Cindy on the shoulder and took off around the corner to the back yard. He stopped, and once she had run around the corner, he aimed the new and improved Hypno-beam at her. She skidded to a stop not two feet in front of him.
"Wait, what are you going to do with…" was all she could get out before Jimmy fired the beam at her. He had it set to erase everything that happened three hours prior.
Cindy just stood there drooling slightly. Jimmy walked up to her and said "The only thing you remember was how much fun you, Tootie, Libby, Trixie, and Veronica had back in Retroville. You and Tootie wanted to surprise Timmy and myself with your stunning makeovers you got at the salon in the mall." After he finished, he dropped the beam into his hyper cube, then snapped his fingers to awaken his girlfriend.
"What…what happened? Jimmy, why are we in Timmy's back yard?" Cindy asked when she came out of the trance.
"You wanted to show me your new look that you and the girls had done at the salon back in Retroville. I must say you look totally stunning with your hair and make-up like that!" Jimmy said sweetly. Cindy blushed and gently kissed him on the cheek for the compliment, even though the only thing different was that her hair was no longer in a ponytail, but was hanging loose around her shoulders. They walked hand in hand back to the front yard, Jimmy hearing groans coming from both his and Timmy's friends.
Meanwhile, the Turners had indeed gone inside, followed closely by Tootie. "Timmy! Tootie is here to see you son!" his father called up to him.
"Ok Dad, send her up!" Timmy yelled back. As soon as he finished speaking, he shut the door completely, leaving Tootie's only option being to open the door with the knob. Tootie stormed up the stairs and reached the door. She hadn't noticed that she had been followed into the house by Jimmy, who needed to tell Timmy the story he fed to Cindy.
Timmy sat on his bed, while Cosmo and Wanda poofed back into the fish bowl. Tootie got to the door and began to speak as she reached for the knob.
"Timmy Turner, you are…" was all she said as she touched the knob and forgot why she had come up to his room in the first place. Jimmy slid around her into Timmy's room.
"Hey Timmy, doesn't Tootie look totally hot with her new look?" he said with a wink.
Timmy winked back and said "Yeah she does! She must have gotten her hair done in Retroville with the other girls." As with Cindy, the only thing that had changed was that Tootie had tied her hair back into a loose ponytail. Other then that, she looked unchanged.
"Why thank you Timmy, that was the sweetest thing you've said all day to me!" Tootie squealed as she glomped Timmy. Jimmy just cringed at the sight of Tootie smothering Timmy with hundreds of kisses all over his face.
"Whew, talk about awkward." was all that Jimmy could think to say.
"Eh, I'm used to it, plus it's fun!" Timmy said between attacks of Tootie's lips.
The three walked out to the front yard, and upon hearing the many groans and calls of "I knew they would get away with it!" they beckoned their friends around to the side yard by the Dinkleberg's house.
"Why don't you and Cindy talk for a minute while we have a word with these guys?" Timmy called. Cindy and Tootie nodded their agreement, and Timmy ducked back around the corner.
Timmy and Jimmy glared at the seven who had gathered. "Not one single word out of any of you about what went on today, or so help me I'll erase your memories back to elementary school!" Jimmy growled through gritted teeth.
Timmy just glared at Chester and A.J., "Yeah, and if either one of you spill the beans to Tootie, I'll just have to let it slip to Trixie and Veronica here about what you two have stashed underneath your beds!" he spat.
Trixie and Veronica stared daggers into their boyfriends, who were sweating bullets. "No problem Timmy!" both said quickly.
"You got it Jimmy!" both Sheen and Carl said in stereo.
"Oh and you two, I know what you hide under your pillows, so if you squeal…I have no problem telling your parents and the boys here!" Timmy said quickly to a now nervous Trixie and Veronica. "You won't hear a peep out of me!" both said, glancing at their dumbfounded boyfriends.
"The same goes for you too Libby!" Jimmy yelled over his shoulder. Libby didn't reply, except for shaking her head in an "ok" manner.
They walked back around to see Tootie and Cindy talking excitedly about the day's events. "We have to do it again sometime!" Tootie said as Cindy got up to join her friends.
"Definitely, maybe we can quintuple date, and bring Carl along for entertainment!" Cindy yelled back. Cindy stepped up next to Jimmy, who was setting up one last portal.
"Goodbye you guys!" the teens from Dimmsdale yelled.
"See you soon!" yelled the Retroville contingent as they stepped through the portal and back to their hometown.
The boys hugged their girls close to them when the portal vanished. "That was so fun! I can't wait until we do it again!" Trixie squealed. The boys just smiled at their lovely ladies as they walked back into the Turner home.
"Neither can we girls, neither can we." Timmy said as he shut the door behind them and gave Tootie a quick kiss on the cheek.
