The day after Sheen and his father had their little heart to heart talk; Mr Estevez went over to the Wheezer household to ask for Mr Wheezers' help in setting up an online dating profile.

"You gotta love the Internet, Carlos. Behold the future of dating." Mr Wheezer announced as he turned on his computer in the basement of the house.

While this was happening, Jimmy, Carl and Sheen watched from the window of the Basement in the backyard. Jimmy had an earpiece device attached to the window; trying to figure out what the adults were saying.

"Jimmy, what're they doing?" Carl asked curiously.

"I'm not quite sure." Jimmy answered as he listened in on his device. "But judging from what I can hear and what's on the computer screen, I think they're on an online dating website."

"Wait; you can date people on the internet!?" Sheen interrupted, making Jimmy cringe from his sudden outburst.

"Yes Sheen, and please don't yell."

Carl laid on the ground and sighed dreamily.

"Elke got a computer a few months ago." He said as he stared into space. "Now we can video chat and we can look at each other while we talk."

As the boys continued observing the activity in the basement, Cindy and Libby walked past the short fence and took notice of what they were doing.

"Hey, what're you three up to now?" Cindy called from over the fence.

The three boys turned to her for a split second to shush her and went back to what they were doing. Cindy looked at Libby with a raised eyebrow, who replied with a shrug. The two girls climbed over the short fence and went closer to the boys to see what they were up to. Libby took a seat on the grass next to Sheen and glanced into the window.

"What's happening?" Libby asked Sheen, sounding interested.

"We're just trying to figure out why my dad and Carl's dad are on a dating site." Sheen answered casually.

Cindy looked at the Mexican boy with a raised eyebrow.

"Dating site?" Cindy questioned.

(Inside)

"My very own webpage, eh?" Mr Estevez said as he looked at the screen. "Carlos Estevez, air condition technician and bachelor."

While Mr Estevez did like the sound of that title, he had doubts about Mr Wheezers' idea.

"Are you sure this going to work?" He questioned as he turned to face the other man.

"I'd never do you any wrong, Carlos." Mr Wheezer explained with a pride filled voice. "Look, you already have twelve dating requests."

Mr Wheezer pointed to the computer screen, which had a mailbox icon with the number twelve on it with twelve letters coming out.

"And that's triple my lifetime record." He added as he leaned on the desk.

"Well, some of these seem fine I suppose." Mr Estevez admitted as he looked through some of the letters. "How about this one? She likes sunsets, long walks on sandy beaches and is-"

Mr Estevez took a closer look at the message before reading it aloud.

"Not allowed in the state of Kentucky... I'm not so sure about this, Ebenezer."

(Outside)

"Isn't it obvious to you Estevez?" Cindy addressed to Sheen as she stood up. "You're dad's on a dating website because he's looking for a girlfriend!"

"But why would Sheen's dad need a girlfriend?" Carl questioned with a confused face.

"Because if-"

Jimmy interrupted Cindy by placing his hand over her lips.

"Hang on, Vortex." he said before turning to Sheen. "Let's see if Sheen can figure it out for himself."

Everyone moved their eyes to watch the boy use his train of thought (maybe for once). Sheen looked up at the sky as he tried to put two and two together. He recalled the conversation he had with his dad last night before he fell asleep on the couch. If his father had a girlfriend and married her, then she would become his wife. And if she became Mr Estevez's' wife, then that means... Sheens' eyes went big before a grin found its way onto his face.

"I'm gonna get a new mom!" He shouted as he threw his arms up in the air; startling everyone in the process. "I just talked about it to him, but I didn't he was really gonna do it!"

Without warning, he grabbed onto Cindys' hand and shook it as he spoke to her.

"You must be magic or something, Vortex! I'm really gonna get my wish!" Sheen said with excitement in his voice.

"Yeah, sure." Cindy said as she pulled her hand out of Sheens' grip. "As long as you don't get on my nerves and stay in my good favour."

"I didn't think she had any good flavour." Carl whispered to Jimmy, mishearing Cindy.

"Oh man, I'm so excited!" Sheen shouted as he ran around the backyard. "I bet she's gonna be beautiful and wonderful!"

"Well, Sheen." Jimmy began as he stood up and smiled. "I think I speak for the group when I say I'm happy for you."


Tokyo, Japan


Later in another country and city, a group of moving men pushed several crates into the entrance of a Japanese amusement park and into a giant building in the centre. The building was an arena style theatre; chairs around it with a stage the size of a football field. On the top floor, a Japanese woman with a short black and red hair, and dressed in a dark red suit yelled at the moving men from above.

"What are you waiting for?! Get off your shiri and get this show on the road!" the woman yelled in a thick Japanese accent.

"Yes, Madame Ikari!" The men called back from below.

Madame Ikari turned away from the men and faced her assistant.

"I just love the sound of panicked scurrying feet in the afternoon." She said with devilish grin. "Don't you, Tetsuo?"

A middle aged man with spiky black hair, dressed in a black suit with torn sleeves and tattoos on his arms was seated on one of the chairs while drinking tea.

"It moves me deeply, Madame." The man replied unemotionally with a deep voice.

Madame Ikaris' smile shifted back to a frown before she signalled the affect specialists. The stage light went on and shined onto a giant machine that was designed to look like a monster made of rock. Two lights used as eyes on the machine came on in a bright colour of yellow and the machine stood with a mechanical roar. People dressed in traditional Japanese clothing appeared in the light of the stage; some running from the robot rock beast and some singing in the style of opera.

"That Fuji is a menace! He's a thorn in our side!"

"The way things are going, our village will be fried!"

Ikari rolled her eyes at the song. Just after the robot stomped on a part of the pretend village for the show, the robot began to short-circuit and its head came off, thankfully missing everyone and landing at the bottom of the stage and smashed half of the audience seats. Madame Ikari stared at the damage with growing anger.

"Urg! That James Neutron!" She mumbled angrily.

Ikari turned to face Tetsuo with an evil glare; making him flinch and spill tea the rest of his tea.

"I want that brat of an inventor on the next flight to Tokyo before the week is up, or another head, will roll!"

Tetsuo stared at the woman with wide for a moment before smiling at her.

"I'll see what can be done." He replied calmly.

Tetsuo stopped smiling as he stood up out of his seat.

"MAKA!" He yelled as he turned to his right.

A woman sitting in one of the seats looked up from her laptop in shock. She looked to be in her early thirties. She had glasses with dark blue frames, black shoulder length hair and was wearing a dark blue business suit with a skirt and black stockings.

"CALL JIMMY NEUTRON AND GET HIM HERE! LET HIM BRING HIS WHOLE FAMILY IF HE MUST; JUST GET HIM HERE NOW!" Tetsuo ordered from afar.

Maka quickly took out her mobile phone from her purse and dialled the number of the neutron household.


Retroville, USA


Back in Retroville, it was 2:30 at night when Maka called. The phone in Mr and Mrs Neutrons' room rang; waking only the husband. Mr Neutron tiredly reached for the phone on his bedpost, but grabbed one of his collectible ducks instead.

"Hello?" Mr Neutron spoke tiredly into what he thought was the phone.

Now half awake at least, Mr Neutron put the duck down and reached for the real phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello. Is this the home of Jimmy Neutron?" Maka asked from the other line of the phone.

"Yeah, this is his dad speaking." Hugh replied as he rubbed his tired eyes.

"Mr Neutron, I'm sorry for calling so late. But I need to speak with your son; it's important."

"Really? Hang on a sec."

Mr Neutron turned to Mrs Neutron, who somehow managed to get back to sleep.

"Sugarbooger, there's someone from Japan on the phone and she wants to talk to Jimbo. Should I go wake him up?"

"Umm, alright Hugh..." Mrs Neutron mumbled in her sleep.

"I just take that as a yes." Mr Neutron said as he got out of bed and stumbled his way to Jimmy's room.

Jimmy and Goddard were still sleeping until Hugh knocked on the door, waking up Jimmy. Jimmy rubbed his eyes as he looked at his digital clock, reading 2:30am. Jimmy stumbled out of bed and made his way to the door and opened it to see his dad.

"D-dad? Why're you waking me up at two in the morning?" He asked with a yawn.

"Sorry, Jimbo." Hugh said as he yawned. "Someone from Japan wants to talk to you. Well, goodnight kiddo; see ya in the morning."

Jimmy watched his dad sleepwalk back to his room with a raised eyebrow. Jimmy just shrugged as he put the phone to his ear.

"Jimmy Neutron speaking." He said into the phone.

"Hello, Jimmy san. This is Maka shimoda from rising sun Metroland." Maka said from the other line of the phone.

"Oh yeah, the Japanese version of Retroland."

Jimmy was the one who designed the rock robot for the theme park after an incident at a thanksgiving parade last year.

"I'm sorry to call you at such a late hour, but the Fuji animatronic you designed for us has broken down and my boss is having a hissy fit." Maka explained in a nervous voice.

"Oh. That's not good." Jimmy replied, thinking that he should have seen that coming.

"Yes, it is. So anyway, we need you to come to Tokyo before the end of the week. The next flight would be best."

Jimmy tried to put together what he was hearing.

"Wait; your boss wants me to come all the way to Tokyo?" He asked, thinking he was correct.

"Well, if you want you can bring your family and friends with you. We'll be happy to pay for plane tickets and accommodation." Maka explained with a soft voice.

Jimmy took a few seconds to think about this. If he agreed to this, he, his parents and his friends would get to go on a trip even though they have been to Japan before.

"I'll have to discuss it with my parents and my friends." Jimmy answered. "I'll get back to you tomorrow."

"Good. We hope to hear from you soon. Goodbye." Maka said before hanging up.

Jimmy put the phone on his desk as he began to think about the phone he just got.

"Goddard, wake mode." He said out loud, turning his robotic companion on.

Goddard came with a wag of his tail and let out a quiet bark.

"Goddard, remind to call the gang after breakfast tomorrow." Jimmy requested as he tried to get back to sleep. "There's something I need to talk to them about."


The next day at eleven in morning, Jimmy called all four of his friends and told them to come over with their parents. Everyone was settled in the living room talking to each other and wandering why Jimmy asked them all to come to his house. Jimmy entered the room and stood in front of the fireplace so everyone could see.

"Okay everyone, settle down." Jimmy instructed, getting everyone's attention. "Now you're probably wandering why I asked all of you to come here."

"Get to the point." Cindy mumbled, making sure Jimmy didn't hear it.

"Last night, I revived a phone call from a theme park in Japan about an attraction that I designed for them and-"

"Wait, wait; something that you designed?" Libby interrupted.

Jimmy went silent for one second.

"Yes, I did." He finally replied.

"Just when, exactly?" Mr Folfax asked in disbelief.

"Remember last year at the Retroville thanksgiving parade? Someone from the company that owns the park wanted to use the motion capture technology I used for my float as an animatronic for their park."

"Oh, yeah. I remember that." Sheen reminisced. "Carl was dressed like a turkey."

"The feathers kept making me sneeze." Carl added with a sniff.

Jimmy just nodded in response.

"Anyway, the owner of the park wants me to come to Tokyo and repair it before the opening night of their show." Jimmy explained.

"So can't you just go in that hover car of yours?" Mr Wheezer asked with confusion.

"That's what I want to talk to you all about. They said that if I go, they want me to bring all of you with me by plane."

Everyone in the room looked at Jimmy for a second before they started whispering to each other. Jimmy's parents were the first to speak up.

"Jimmy, sweetheart. I'm not really sure if we can all afford a flight to Japan." Mrs Neutron said nervously.

"That's the beauty of it, mom. They told me that they're going to pay for the whole thing." Jimmy explained.

"Oh, so it's free?" Mr Neutron asked, sounding intrigued.

"I believe that's what they meant."

All the adults looked at each other, trying to think of how to respond.

"I don't really know." Mrs Folfax said as she rubbed her neck.

"Our little Carl doesn't do well with air travel." Mrs Wheezer added.

"And there's having our passports organised." Mr Vortex added.

The kids looked at their parents with disbelief, mainly Sheen in particular. They looked if they were just going to chicken out of someone great.

"I can't believe you people!" Sheen called out as he stood up and walk to Jimmy's side.

Everyone began to stare at the hyperactive boy because of his sudden outburst.

"Really? Jimmy just said that we have the chance to go somewhere, and you're all just gonna say no!? It's not like you're all busy with anything!"

All the adults looked at each other with guilty faces as the kids looked up at them, except for Mr Estevez.

"Ok, hands if you're not busy; by honest." Sheen said as he held his hand above his head.

All the kids raised their hands quickly while the parents did slowly and shyly.

"I thought so." Sheen said as he crossed his arms.

Libby stood up from her seat on the floor.

"Sheen, I think you're forgetting that we've been to Japan before." Libby reminded as she crossed her arms.

"And we were humiliated thanks to our loss at the baseball championships at the hands of Mr Whippy dip head!" Cindy added while insulting Jimmy.

Jimmy just rolled his eyes at Cindy's insult.

"Yeah, that's true." Sheen admitted. "But we didn't get much time to have any fun while we were there. And I got ripped off by Bonzilla. Anyway, that's in the past. And this could be fun; we all need a little vacation. And I don't know about any of you, but I really wanna see what Jimmy made for those guys. So how bout it?"

The parents looked down at their kids as they thought of their decision as the kids looked up at them and waited for an answer.

"I think it's a wonderful idea." Mr Estevez answered with a smile.

"Maybe we all do need a holiday." Mrs Vortex added.

"I'll call the travel agency to get our passports done." Mrs Neutron announced as she went to find the phone.

Pretty much everyone in the room started talking about how excited they were and how they would prepare for the trip. Jimmy smiled at the enthusiasm of his peers. He walked to Sheen and put a hand on his shoulder, getting his attention.

"You really know how to motivate a crowd, Sheen." Jimmy said to the taller boy.

"Oh, I just thought that everybody needed a getaway. Specially, my dad." Sheen said out of modesty.

Jimmy nodded in agreement. Though the last part of Sheen's sentence made him curious.

"Just what exactly did you and your dad do when you were in Mexico?" Jimmy asked, referring to a trip Sheen and his dad made a few weeks ago.

Sheen looked at Jimmy with uncertain expression on his face.

"D-didn't I tell you? It was just a family reunion. Nothing big." Sheen said nervously before walking away.

Jimmy looked at the boy with a look of suspicion. Every time someone bought it up, Sheen would go off topic. He must have been hiding something. But Jimmy didn't want to linger on it. He and his friends had to get ready for their trip to Tokyo.


AN: Yay, second chapter. Well, looks like everyone's on board for the trip. Sheen seems to be acting a little weird(er then usual). I wander why... So we've met our villain, Madame Ikari(you'll all just love to hate her) and the gang are Going to the land of the rising sun. :D So say tuned people.
