Disclaimer: I don't own Jimmy Neutron.
Jimmy dreamed. He dreamed of an island, somewhere in the Pacific, a place he had never seen before. It was peaceful, almost perfect, if you ignored the many creatures on the island's interior who wanted to kill you.
There was a pearl, a pearl he swore he had seen Cindy wearing the day before. He gave it to her, she was there and they were getting along.
She wanted to stay with him, forever together on the island. They left anyway. Then he shifted to a vision of these two buck toothed imbeciles. They both kept hitting on his Cindy. His, no one else's. The one named Timmy, she actually liked! She liked this utter idiot who didn't have a single brain cell to his name! But he disappeared out of their lives completely, leaving only the rich brat.
Eustace, that was his name, had Cindy's complete attention. She adored him; she thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. She laughed at all his stupid jokes, and that made Jimmy's blood boil.
Then, the same boy pushed her down on the ground. She looked terrified of him. That's when Jimmy took control of his dream. He went right up to the boy and socked him in the jaw. The punch was so strong that he was launched back into to the age of dinosaurs. He wasn't a threat anymore.
He dreamed of a kiss in an alley, and the odd looks they got from the other kids at school when then showed up holding hands the next day. He dreamed of middle school dances, their stupid debates, and high school. They had fun, they were in love. It was perfect.
Then they went to the same college. Everyone gave the couple weird looks; they were always fighting one moment and kissing the next. Then he got down on one knee, and asked her to marry him.
She said yes without a moment's hesitation.
It was heaven on earth.
When he woke up, Jimmy felt different. He felt more at home in this body, like he remembered some things. He couldn't help but wonder if any of his dreams were true. He hopped out of bed and went to go find Cindy. By a pure miracle he found the room she was staying in.
Her blonde hair was fanned over the pillow and she looked so peaceful. You would have never known that she was a black belt who loved arguing about scientific theories. She looked like a Disney Princess.
He leaned down and touched her cheek. "Hello Sleeping Beauty," he whispered. "I think I might love you, but you know. I don't know if love even exists." He leaned in and gave her cheek a small kiss. Her eyes fluttered open. He blushed.
"Hey," she didn't seem to mind, "do you remember anything yet?"
"No, not really," he lied. He wasn't sure if the memories were real or absolute lies.
Cindy sighed. "Nerdtron you can't lie to save your life. What do you remember?"
Jimmy ended up telling her everything and with each memory her smile grew. "It's coming back," she said quietly with a smile. "That's great."
"So we're engaged?" he asked in a whisper. She nodded. "But I can't remember anything that doesn't have to do with you."
She sat up sleepily. "It's still progress." She looked at the clock. "Get cleaned up, I'm taking you to the doctor's today."
He groaned internally. Despite being a genius, he had always secretly dreaded going to the doctors. What more did they know about his body than he did?
"Cindy!"
She looked at him sternly. "James Isaac Neutron, there is no reason to fear the doctors."
He scoffed, "I'm not scared." She looked at him. "Maybe a little."
"Just get dressed," then she shooed him out of the room.
Half an hour later, they were in the doctor's office. Jimmy was tapping his foot impatiently as Cindy was trying to fill out his medical records. He stared at her intently, almost wondering how this had all come about.
Then all of a sudden, a memory grabbed hold of him further fleshed out than his dream had been.
On their way home from the TV studio, Jimmy and Cindy had talked about a lot if random things. But the one he had most itched to bring up was the kiss.
"What are we?"
Cindy shrugged. "I don't know Jimmy."
"Maybe, after school tomorrow we could go to the Candy Bar?" he asked awkwardly, touching the back of his neck.
"Just us?" she asked quietly. "No Sheen, Carl, or Libby."
"Yeah. Unless you want them to comeā¦"
"No!" She grinned somewhat shyly for being a Vortex. "Just us. I'd like that, as long as this isn't from your love pheromone this time."
"It's not," he assured her. "I used all that stuff up."
She nodded and they walked silently for a moment. "Does this make us a couple?"
Jimmy blushed. "I guess."
"They'll all freak, when they find out."
He laughed a little. "Especially our friends."
Cindy shook her head. "Not Libby, remember the whole incident we just had with her?"
"I don't Carl will either, I think he just saw us kiss."
They shook their heads almost simultaneously. "All of school will know before we get there," Cindy said.
Jimmy disagreed. "Carl is too scared of you."
"Show and tell?" Cindy asked. "Then we tell everyone?"
He nodded. "Show and tell, then lunch. By the time school's out the entire school will know."
"And you buy me some ice cream?"
"You got it Vortex."
She kissed his cheek and hurried to her house, leaving Jimmy standing in a complete daze.
"Mr. Neutron?" A nurse called, breaking him out of his reverie.
Jimmy got up to go with the nurse and Cindy followed behind. No one was shocked to see the couple together; they were practically inseparable after all.
Jimmy himself felt awkwardly familiar with the area, but he didn't really recognize the place. He wasn't sure he wanted to though. Doctor's offices reminded him of most other laboratories, cold and unfeeling. He always tried to make his feel homey.
Cindy squeezed his hand gently. "I know you're scared." He scoffed again. "But I think you'll like this doctor. He's a pretty cool guy, honestly."
"Cool? I doubt that."
"Well, you thought he was cool when you were ten."
He rolled his eyes. "I thought you were gross when I was ten."
Then a knock came from the door, and Jimmy saw someone big, burly, and going grey at the door.
A/N:
So, hi. I've been gone a while, because I got really caught up in the Percy Jackson fandom. If any of you guys like that, I'd suggest checking out some of my other stories.
Once I get done with this I'm not really coming back to the JN fandom, even though I love me some Jindy.
I bet you guys can kind of guess who the doctor is but I like cliffhangers anyway.
