Chapter 8: Fetched

Late at night, under the rock which belonged to Alternate Patrick Star, Timmy was in a room, sleeping on a bed made of sand. He was sleeping soundly until a wand tapped on his head.

"Timmy?" Cosmo's voice asked in a whisper. "Timmy."

Timmy winced a bit, but then continued sleeping soundly. Then a rattle suddenly banged on his head and a babyish voice asked, "Poof, poof, poof."

"Ugh…" Timmy grunted as he awoken and sat up, looking tired. "What's going on?"

"Timmy, we finally woke you up!" Cosmo said excitedly.

Wanda then explains, "Danny walked outside a minute ago. We wondered why, so we decided to wake you up and check on him."

"Well, that's weird." Timmy simply answered with a yawn until he got out of bed. "I guess I better go see what he's up to. He could get into trouble if he's out there by himself."

Timmy quickly and quietly left the room, hoping not to wake up the Alternate SpongeBob, Alternate Sandy, and Alternate Patrick. He climbed up the small ladder that led to the top and he opened the rock a crack to see Danny standing outside in the darkness by himself.

"Danny?" Timmy asked as he stepped outside.

Danny quickly turned around when he heard his name being called. "Timmy!" he asked in surprise. "What are you doing outside?"

"I could ask you that?" Timmy asked with his arms crossed. "Don't you know it could be dangerous if Alternate Neutron's goons were to find you out here?"

They looked into the distance to see a couple of lights shining from behind the tall buildings in town.

"I know." Danny answered. "I just had to come out here and think for a second."

"About what?" Timmy asked curiously.

"Well…SpongeBob and the others were talking about finding us a way to get home." Danny recalled. "But…I'm wondering how they will be able to do it."

"They said we would think about something in the morning." Timmy mentioned. "Sandy's still smart here, so she can figure something out."

"Well, what I mean is…Do you remember what Jimmy told us before we came here to this universe?"

Timmy thought to himself for a while, but then he snapped his fingers and smiled. "Oh yeah, I remember. Jimmy was showing us his Portal Machine and we were talking about all the undiscovered universes we'd be able to see."

"Yeah, but I'm talking about after all that." Danny pointed out as he took out his recaller. "Jimmy said that since his machine wasn't finished to send signals for our recallers to work, we wouldn't be able to come back, so that means we're stuck here."

Timmy's smile dropped and he frowned sadly. "Oh yeah…I remember that too. But I'm sure there has to be some way back. There has to be."

"I think there is. We need another Portal Machine. And the only one I know who has one for sure is the Jimmy Neutron of this universe. He told me so when we met him."

"Of course, that makes sense." Timmy also realized, but didn't seem to like it. "But that Jimmy tried to kill us. There's no way we could trust him to get us back home."

"I know…But if we can't find any other way back home, we might have to try and find a way to use his machine. I mean think about everyone else back home…they're probably really worried since they don't know where we are."

"Yeah…they probably are." Timmy admitted as he scratched his head, but then he turned back to Danny sharply. "Wait! You still wanna go back into that alternate Jimmy's lab?"

"Of course I wanna go back into Alternate Jimmy's lab, I just...think it would be better if we used some of his technology to help us get back."

"But that could be totally dangerous. Alternate SpongeBob can't even break into that place without getting caught. What makes you think we can?"

"We have to at least try. We have to get back to our worlds and everyone who's there waiting for us. I mean, think about how they must be feeling not knowing where we are."

Then Timmy's eyes widen in realization. "Wait a second…this is about what the Alternate Jimmy said to you, isn't it?"

"What?" Danny asked in shock.

"Yeah!" Timmy shouted in a knowing tone. "Cosmo and Wanda told me what happened after Jimmy knocked me out. This is because you really believed everything he told you, huh?"

Danny blushed slightly and looked away in anger. "Of course not. After everything he did, there's no way I believe him."

"Well, you're definitely not acting like it." Timmy said, crossing his arms. "Even if there really is no way outta this universe, so what? This is place is really cool. The Alternate SpongeBob's tough and cool, so he'd totally keep us safe."

"He can't protect us forever. Alternate Jimmy's still after us, and he won't stop until he gets whatever he wants from us, which is all the more reason why we should get back to our own universe as soon as we can."

"Doesn't mean we have to break into his totally dangerous lab to get back," Timmy said, eyeing Danny. "Besides, him trying to get us or that you're worried about everyone can't be the only reason you wanna go back so badly."

Danny seemed defeated by this and he hesitantly answered, "Well…I guess it's just…" he paused for a moment before finally answering, "This place is crazy!"

Timmy looked surprised by this answer, "What?"

"It's true. This whole universe is so crazy you can't tell who's who." Danny immediately answered. "Jimmy's a mad scientist, Vlad's a mooch, SpongeBob's a hero with red locks, Crocker's a sane school teacher, Sheen's part dingo, and me…" he stopped for a moment and held his head sadly, "I don't know what to expect."

Timmy stared at him for a moment and then tried to put on a smile. "We've been in worse situations than this. Besides, I'm sure the real Jimmy, SpongeBob, and Tak are trying to find a way to get us back as we speak. But until then, we just have to make the most this universe."

Then he started to walk away which made Danny curious. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Candy Bar we passed a block away. Want me to bring you back anything?"

"The Candy Bar?" Danny asked in surprise. "Why there?"

"Well, the Nasty Burger is packed with criminals, and the Krusty Kocktail's destroyed from earlier, so it's time to go to the next best place." Timmy turned around and grinned. "I love being in a universe with all the best places to eat in one world."

"But it's dangerous to go out by yourself." Danny pointed out. "You heard what SpongeBob said, we have to stay here."

"I won't get into trouble by just getting a milkshake." Timmy retorted. "If you weren't so paranoid about this place, we could easily get to and back. I'm going."

When Timmy crossed his arms and walked off, Danny turned his back to him and frowned angrily. "Fine! Get turned into an experiment monkey by a mad scientist, see if I care!"

As soon as Danny began to huff away, he was stopped when he heard a familiar scream in the distance. "Timmy?" he asked as he quickly ran around a corner of the park. He gasped at the next thing he saw.

It was a giant animatronic dog that was standing on two legs with sharp claws for hands and a head that Danny seemed to horrifyingly recognize. He slowly backed away in fear as he muttered under his breath, "Goddard?"

But then he stopped when he noticed Timmy leaning back on the ground in fear as the Alternate Goddard approached him.

Danny shook his head and gained an angered look as he ran toward the large robot dog, changing into ghost form. Alternate Goddard took a swipe at Timmy with his right claw, but Danny quickly grabbed a hold of Timmy and turned him and Timmy intangible to avoid it.

Once he turned them both solid, he pushed the younger boy aside and leapt the other way as Alternate Goddard pounded his fist on the ground where they were.

"Timmy, RUN!" Danny yelled to him.

Timmy nodded and got up as quickly as he could and started running back to the hideout, but Alternate Goddard spotted this and fired eyebeams that hit a nearby tree and fell in Timmy's path.

Danny then flew forward with his fist held in the air and he gave a hard punch to Alternate Goddard's metal back. However, it was a hard punch indeed. Tears appeared in Danny's eyes and he held his right hand that was throbbing in pain as he moaned inaudibly.

Alternate Goddard began to approach Timmy again as the boy backed away in fear. "Good dog, nice dog. You know, we're friends in another universe." He said with a nervous chuckle.

Once he recovered, Danny began to fire ecto-beams at the large robot dog, but it did not seem to affect him. This however, seemed to only annoy Alternate Goddard and he turned his head toward Danny and charged at surprisingly fast speed with his arms held in back of him as he roared in rage.

Danny just floated there paralyzed while Alternate Goddard opened his mouth and approached him. When it looked like it was over, Timmy suddenly stood in his way and yelled, "NO!"

And much to Danny's horror, Alternate Goddard ate Timmy in one bite and swallowed him whole.

"NOOO!" Danny yelled as Alternate Goddard turned around and began to walk away.

Danny growled angrily and flew toward Alternate Goddard at fast speed, but the robot dog just smacked him away with his arm and the ghost boy landed in a tree, falling through the branches and landing upside-down on the ground with a thud. His eyes then began to close as his vision dimmed, seeing an upside-down view of Alternate Goddard walk away with Timmy still in his stomach.

You would need a bigger newspaper for this kind of situation. Ah well, it's too late now. What'll happen next? Please review what you think.
