Hi y'all! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I finally finished Chapter 6 of the JTPH 4 and to keep you guys satisfied for a while, this chapter is double the length of a regular chapter! It has so much action and humor in it, I just couldn't bear to break it up, so here is another helping of the famous Jimmy / Timmy crossover. And don't forget to review!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we last left Crocker and Calamitous, they had just found Vicky sprawled on the pavement after running full speed into Crocker's van. Things are not going to be looking up for our heroes soon...
Vicky soon awoke from her daze and her vision came into focus as she looked up at Crocker and Calamitous standing over her.
"Ow, what just happened?" asked Vicky as she massaged her forehead. "I feel like a semi just ran over me." She then caught sight of the two men looking down at her. "Who are you two weirdos?"
"The two 'weirdos' as you so bluntly put it happen to be Professor Finbarr Calamitous and Denzel Q. Crocker, and you just cost this man here a few hundred dollars for putting yet another dent in his van," replied Calamitous as he gestured towards Crocker. "And just who might you be?"
"Why should I tell you, you short, bald-headed man?" shot back Vicky as she got to her feet and dusted herself off.
Calamitous was getting tired of people pointing out his lack of height and hair, but he managed to keep his cool in front of the redhead.
"Judging by the angle of the dent in Crocker's van and the size of the indentation, I'd say that you that you were running full speed out of that house over there," said Calamitous as he inspected the dent and then pointed towards Timmy's house.
Vicky's pupils dilated as she paled and started shaking like a leaf.
"Duplicates…more than one twerp…swirly hair…" she started to mumble.
Crocker stared at Vicky while she continued to mumble about giant fake heads and clogged sinks.
"Geeze, and people think I'm crazy…and I am! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"You really need to take some medication if you haven't done so already…" muttered Calamitous. "Wait, did you just mention 'swirly hair'?" he asked Vicky.
Vicky managed to calm down a little. "Yeah, I did. What's it to ya?"
"Neutron…" fumed Calamitous.
"Huh?"
"When you mentioned in your ramblings about duplicates, did you mean that you saw two Timmy Turners?"
"Yeah. How would you know about the Turner twerp?"
"That Turner twerp just so happens to be a student of mine," said Crocker. "One that has FAIRY GODPARENTS!!!"
"And is acquaintances with an enemy of mine named Jimmy Neutron," added Calamitous.
"So, the other twerp in that house who I was forcing to unclog the kitchen sink with a toilet plunger is really not a duplicate of the Turner twerp, but a twerp named Jimmy Neutron?" mused Vicky. "That would explain the large head with swirly hair… No wonder I couldn't remove his fake head, it was real…"
"You tried to remove Neutron's head and forced him to unclog the kitchen sink with a toilet plunger?" asked Calamitous. "That's brilliant! I wonder why I never thought of that…"
"Probably because you're so short and bald," smirked Vicky.
Calamitous glared at her. "Anyway, we'd love to sit here and chat, but Crocker and I have plans to carry out."
"And what would those be?" asked Vicky with a sneer.
"You're not involved in this, redhead, so I think you'd best be on your way."
"What?!" shouted Crocker. "She can't leave! She still has to pay for the damage to my van!"
"Hah! If you think that I'm going to pay for damage to that rusty old thing, you must be more crazy than I think you are already!" replied Vicky. She then got a better look at Crocker and noticed something familiar about him. "Hey, wait a minute, I know you. You're the Elementary school teacher of the Turner twerp."
"And your his babysitter!" exclaimed Crocker, getting a better look at Vicky. "I would be honored to shake hands with the person who causes Turner just as much misery as I do!"
"Not on your life, Jack," replied Vicky as she got into a karate stance.
"So, now that we know who everyone is, can we please get back to the situation at hand?" asked Calamitous.
"And what would that be?" asked Crocker.
Calamitous stared at him like he was from another planet. (And he very well could be for that matter.) "The plans to simultaneously destroy Neutron and Turner!"
"Hey, if anyone is going to be destroying the Turner twerp, it's going to be me," replied Vicky.
"And how would you be any help to us?" asked Calamitous.
"Hey, I'm his babysitter; I already strike fear into his heart. So, if I decide to help you, what's in it for me?"
"Who said we were going to let you help us?"
Crocker leaned down and whispered into Calamitous' ear, "I don't think we should refuse her. She could prove to be invaluable to us given the circumstances."
"Oh…alright…" muttered Calamitous. He then addressed Vicky again. "If you help us, you can have Dimmsdale."
Vicky thought it over for a moment. "Alright, it's a deal," she reliped as she shook the genius's hand.
"Then I get control of Fairy World again and all of its magical weaponry!" shouted Crocker. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"What?" asked Vicky.
"Just ignore him..." muttered Calamitous.
"Is he on any kind of medication?"
"I'm still trying to figure that out myself…"
"So, why are you plotting with him?"
"He claims he knows a lot about Turner's floating collaborators and has all of this high-tech gadgetry in this van of his that would rival most of what I have in my own lab."
"Floating collaborators?" asked Vicky, quirking an eyebrow.
Calamitous looked puzzled. "Surely if you are Turner's babysitter as you claim you are, you have seen some floating beings around him at least once."
Vicky thought for a moment. "No, can't say that I have. Although, there have been some strange things going on in that house ever since I first started babysitting for that twerp."
Calamitous was intrigued. "How strange?"
"Like how he was able to make things appear and disappear so quickly and get me into a whole lot of trouble. Y'know, I think I'm ready to find out exactly what's been going on lately with that twerp," said Vicky as she pounded her fist into her palm.
Calamitous smiled sinisterly as he extended his hand out to her. "Then welcome aboard…uh, what was your name again?"
A wicked grin slowly spread across the redhead's face as she shook the evil genius's hand. "It's Vicky."
Calamitous returned the evil grin. "Well Vicky, let's get down to business, shall we?"
"Gladly. So, what's our plan of attack?"
"Crocker over there mentioned something about the Turner kid possessing a teleportation device of some kind that allowed him to transport himself one time to this so-called 'Fairy World' he keeps talking about. Although, his memory about his little visit there is a little fuzzy due to some bizarre Schnauzer incident."
At the mention of the word "Schnauzer", Crocker paled and went into several spasmic fits.
"SCHNAUZERS!! NO!! NOOOOOOO!!"
Calamitous and Vicky stared at Crocker for a few seconds before the bald genius continued his talk.
"Anyway, if we can get our hands on that teleportation device, we can transport ourselves to this 'Fairy World' where the floating collaborators are, seize control of them, and destroy Turner and Neutron."
"Sounds good to me," replied Vicky. "Any plan that involves villainous evildoing is a plan I'm willing to be a part of."
Calamitous then turned towards the crazy spazzing teacher. "C'mon Crocker, it's time to put your knowledge of this teleportation device to good use because I don't think that Vicky or I will be able to use it correctly."
"Okay then," replied Crocker. "The first place I found it was in Turner's room, so that would be the first place I would look."
"How hard is it to work a teleportation device?" asked Vicky. "I mean, first you're someplace and then you're someplace else."
"True, but this particular device could be so advanced and complicated that we could ruin our chance to succeed in our plans if we mess it up," replied Calamitous.
"Hmmph, I still say it can't be that difficult."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Timmy and company were up in his room and Timmy was listening intently to what Jimmy was telling him.
"So, you're saying that the bald genius guy whom I met during my second visit to Retroville is here in Dimmsdale to capture Cosmo and Wanda and use them for his own evil purposes?" Timmy asked Jimmy when he was finished speaking.
"Yes, and we also fear that he is disguised as my mother," replied Jimmy.
Timmy stared at him. "Why would he be disguised as your mother?"
"It's a long story…" muttered Jimmy while shooting a sideways glance at Carl, who whistled innocently.
"Well, I wouldn't worry about it too much," replied Timmy. "Cosmo and Wanda are safe and sound in Fairy World right now. I gave them the day off for some rest and relaxation and there's no way that enemy of yours would think to look here. He doesn't even know where I live."
"That's where you're wrong, Turner!" shouted Crocker as he suddenly kicked the door to Timmy's bedroom in.
"Aaaaahhhhhh! Crocker!" yelled Timmy. "And Vicky!"
"That's right, twerp!" said Vicky, stepping into the room. "I got the facts straight from these guys and I now know how you managed to get yourself out of every sticky situation with me and that your friend over there is not a duplicate of you, but a twerp named Jimmy Neutron!"
Carl and Sheen were now cowering behind Jimmy and Cindy.
"J-Jimmy, I don't like where this is going…" murmered Carl.
"And I would assume that your other 'friend' is Calamitous, right?" asked Jimmy calmly.
"Precisely," said Calamitous as he entered the room. "Once we have control of that teleportation device to take us to Fairy World and capture Turner's floating collaborators, we will use them to destroy you two for good."
"And why would you tell us that?" asked Cindy.
"Because there isn't anyway that you can stop us."
"What are you talking about?" asked Jimmy. "There are more of us than you; you're outnumbered. And how did you manage to change yourself back to your old, bald self anyway?"
"Will everyone stop mentioning my baldness!"
"Even though we're outnumbered, that's not going to stop us especially since we're a lot older and smarter than you twerps," said Vicky.
"I highly doubt that," smirked Timmy.
The kids laughed while Vicky fumed at them. Suddenly, Crocker noticed the Game Buddy lying on the floor and made a mad dive for it.
"AHA! The teleportation device to take us to FAIRY WORLD!!"
Crocker picked it up and started to madly push the buttons on it hoping for something to happen. A portal opening up…an instant teleport to Fairy World…anything…
Timmy on his part was enjoying seeing Crocker's futile attempts for something out of the ordinary to happen. "Hah, good luck trying to get there with that thing. It's missing a key part and there's no way in heck that I'm going to tell you where it is."
Crocker stopped his mad button smashing long enough to notice that the Auto-Poofer was sticking out of Timmy's pocket.
"Ah, of course! This thing won't work without that pen of yours! It's the true teleportation device!"
Timmy's face fell. "Oh, crud…"
"I got it!" shouted Vicky as she dived at Timmy.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" yelled Timmy. He just had enough time to pull the pen out of his pocket and tossed it to Jimmy before he was tackled. While Timmy and Vicky fought in a dust cloud, Calamitous made a mad dash at Jimmy, who pushed the star on top of the Auto-Poofer and immediately disappeared. Calamitous stopped suddenly and Jimmy reappeared right in front of him.
"Oops, forgot about the properties of this device. It's only designed to send anyone holding it back to this room," muttered Jimmy.
"Yeah, we kind of figured that with your big head you wouldn't have any problem forgetting something like that," smirked Cindy.
Jimmy frowned at her.
"Jimmy, do something!" shouted Carl.
"Hey, Jimmy! Over here!" shouted Sheen as he waved his arms over by Timmy's bed.
Jimmy tossed the Auto-Poofer over to Sheen who easily caught it. Calamitous turned towards him with a disapproving look on his face.
"Hey, Vicky and Crocker! Make yourselves useful and help me over here!" shouted Calamitous.
"Can do!" replied Crocker.
"Right!" said Vicky as she stopped fighting with Timmy. Timmy sat up on the floor covered in bruises and scrapes with a bewildered look on his face. The silver orb from his wrist was lying on the floor next to him.
"Geeze, she's really put on some muscle lately…"
"Timmy, are you alright?" asked Cindy coming over to his aid. Jimmy frowned at Timmy from his position on the other side of the room.
"Yeah, I'm alright. She must have been practicing some new karate moves lately. I haven't seen any of that stuff that she used."
"So, she practices fighting techniques, huh?" asked Cindy as a sinister grin spread across her face.
Vicky was currently advancing with Calamitous and Crocker towards Sheen. Sheen on his part was starting to reminisce about an Ultralord episode that he had seen at some point in his life.
"Oh, this is just like what happened in Episode #176 when the three evil aliens surrounded Ultralord and demanded that he had over the Staff of Brain Freeze to them!"
"The Staff of Brain Freeze?" asked Jimmy.
"Hey, never question the Staff of Brain Freeze!"
"If you had a brain to freeze it with, though!" laughed Vicky.
"Hey!"
"Hey, Vicky..."
"What is it?" asked Vicky as she turned around only to receive a swift kick to the stomach. Her eyes practically jumped out of her head as she doubled over in pain.
"That's for getting on my nerves and attacking Timmy," replied Cindy as she landed on the ground and assumed a fighting stance.
Vicky was quick to recover and assumed one of her own.
"I see that you practice martial arts," replied the redhead.
"Next time I won't be so easy on you," smirked Cindy.
"Hah, I could take you any day. You just caught me off guard and you're going to pay for that!"
"I'd like to see you try."
"Very well, but I'll warn you, I fight ugly!"
Without warning, Vicky charged at Cindy and soon the two of them were performing some of the most spectacular martial arts moves on one another.
"Well, it looks like one of our partners is preoccupied at the moment," muttered Calamitous to Crocker. "So, it looks like we'll be fighting you four on our own then."
"Bring it on, you evil genius…person-type…thing…!" shouted Sheen.
Crocker made a grab at Sheen but he easily ducked out of reach and tossed the Auto-Poofer to Carl. Timmy was awestruck as he watched Cindy fight Vicky.
"Dude, where did she learn all those moves?" he asked Jimmy.
"From her dad. He's a black belt and thought that she should learn how to defend herself," replied Jimmy.
"From the looks of it, I'd say that he taught her well," remarked Timmy, as Cindy performed an aerial roundhouse kick at Vicky.
Carl then tossed the Auto-Poofer towards Timmy who caught it and held it firmly as Calamitous and Crocker advanced towards him and Jimmy.
"I'm getting tired of this little game of 'Hot Potato'," muttered Calamitous. "So, how about you hand over that teleportation device and make it easy for all of us?"
"Hah, fat chance!" replied Timmy. "I'd only give this thing to you if you gave me a million dollars and even then I still wouldn't give it to you!"
"If I had a million dollars, I'd go out and buy every single Ultralord action figure that was ever made since the beginning of time!" shouted Sheen. "Oh wait, I already own every single Ultralord action figure that was made since the beginning of time… Oh well, I could always just buy my own rocket and fly to Pluto. I here that the weather on that planet is lovely this time of year…"
"Sheen, you can't fly to Pluto from here," replied Jimmy. "It would take you decades to get there and the whole place is covered with ice and frozen rock. Plus, Pluto got demoted to a dwarf planet last year; it's not classified as a planet anymore."
"What?! Nooooooooooooo!!" shouted Sheen as he collapsed to his knees. "How can they be so cruel?!"
"Sheen, calm down. It's not that big of a deal," replied Timmy.
"Not that big of a deal?! When I don't get informed about these kinds of things, it drives me crazy!"
"Yep, we can see that…"
"Um guys, can we please get back to the situation at hand?" asked Carl as Calamitous and Crocker advanced closer to the four of them as they were pressed up against Timmy's bedroom window.
"Hmm, gotta think, think, think!" muttered Timmy as he tried to do a brain blast.
Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen stared at him.
Timmy shrugged is shoulders defiantly. "Cindy told me to do something called a brain blast when I was inside Goddard when he was the Decimator. Something about a sudden burst of intuitiveness that will help us out." Suddenly, an idea hit Timmy's head. "Hey, Crocker, look! A child in pain!"
"Hah, I'm not going to fall for that one again, Turner!" replied Crocker. "I do like the concept of it, though. Maybe it can be the subject of a novel I can write! Denzel Q. Crocker's 1001 Ways to Give Children Misery!"
Timmy looked over at Jimmy. "Well, that's all I got, dude."
Jimmy frowned at him. "I think you'd better leave the brain blasts to me, Timmy." Jimmy then clenched his fists together and thought really hard. "C'mon…think, think, think…!" An inside look of Jimmy's brain revealed the Big Wand in Fairy World, desks and chairs at Dimmsdale Elementary School, and Crocker spazzing every time he said the words "Fairy GodParents" floating around. "Brain Blast! Hey, Crocker, what do you refer to Timmy's reality-bending computer programs as?"
"Hah, I know for a fact that Turner's 'reality-bending computer programs' as you call them are really his FAIRY GODPARENTS!!"
Crocker spazzed at every syllable and at the last one, his head made contact with the ceiling knocking himself out cold before landing on top of Calamitous who was also knocked out cold.
"Nice job, dude," replied Timmy.
"Eh, it was nothing."
"When did Crocker…uh…mention 'Fairy GodParents' to you?" asked Timmy nervously.
"When I was in Dimmsdale and you were in Retroville during our first encounter, I met Crocker in his classroom along with some of your friends who thought I was someone else or you in a disguise by the name of Kent Quasar. I think Chester mentioned the name Buzz Adams or something as well…"
Timmy chuckled remembering his previous disguises to get out of going to school at certain times.
"Anyway, everyone and Crocker thought that I was you in a disguise and he started ranting about science fair projects and that you didn't even start yours that day. He also said that the only way that I, meaning you, would hope to have a project ready in time was if I received help from my fairy godparents, whatever that means."
Timmy started to sweat a little. "Please don't ask if Cosmo and Wanda are my fairy godparents…" he silently prayed.
"I remembered how crazy Crocker acted when he said 'fairy godparents' and Cosmo and Wanda help you out with a lot of things, so I assumed that he must have gotten them confused with something else because Cosmo and Wanda are clearly computer programs and fairy godparents don't exist," finished Jimmy.
Timmy let out a sigh of relief that thankfully Jimmy didn't notice. Since Crocker and Calamitous were still knocked out, Jimmy, Timmy, Carl, and Sheen were able to relax a little easier, but they quickly turned their attention to Cindy and Vicky who were still fighting each other.
"Geeze, is either one going to win?" asked Timmy.
"They appear to be evenly matched, so unless we interfere somehow, those two will keep fighting for hours," noted Jimmy.
"Or until one of them dies laughing from one of my jokes," said Sheen.
Timmy, Jimmy, and Carl stared at him.
"Hey, my jokes are the products of sheer genius!" exclaimed Sheen. "It took me just six minutes to come up with them and I was hyped up on large amounts of sugar at the time."
"Yeah, we all could see how that would affect the certified nature of your jokes," laughed Timmy.
"Yeah! Hey wait, was that a comment or sarcasm?"
Everyone rolled their eyes and then Jimmy spoke up.
"Okay, we need to come up with a distraction…" Sheen started to frantically wave his arms around. "…That's not Sheen!" Sheen then lowered his arms. "So, any ideas?"
"You're the smart one here dude, besides Cindy," noted Timmy. "You should be able to come up with something."
"Hey, are you saying that we're not smart?" asked Carl.
"Uhhhh…"
"That's okay. I think we can safely acknowledge the fact that we as humans are more or less capable of immense rational thought and can come up with a solution to just about anything like the problem that we are facing right now," replied Sheen.
Jimmy, Timmy, and Carl stared at Sheen openmouthed.
"What? Why are you all staring at me like that? Do I have something between my teeth?"
While Jimmy, Timmy, and Carl continued to stare at Sheen after his profound burst of intelligence and Cindy and Vicky still continued to fight martial arts-style, Tootie was walking down the sidewalk towards the Turner residence.
"I think I'll see what Timmy is up to today. Maybe he'll be up for playing dolls with me this time and won't try to hit me with any more water balloons. I just hope that he's not trying to win that Trixie Tang over especially since he hasn't really been paying much attention to me…" Tootie stopped in mid-step and a realization suddenly hit her.
"Hey, wait a minute! He hasn't really been paying much attention to me! I wonder if he's been seeing someone else…a different girl that's not Trixie… No, that's just ridiculous. I know the way he looks at her with that infatuated look in his eyes. He only has eyes for her. Why can't he look that way at me?" Tootie pondered this for a while in the middle of the sidewalk before making her next move. "I think that if I go to his house right now he'll be there and I can get this all sorted out with him. It's probably all a big misunderstanding anyway. I mean really, he's not seeing other girls, right? Right...?"
She quickened her pace to Timmy's house and noticed a beat up black van parked across the street from it.
"What a creepy looking van…and yet so familiar… Where have I seen it before…?"
She pushed the thought out of her head and went up to the driveway to the front door that she surprisingly found was open.
"Huh, that's strange… Why would Timmy leave his front door open…? Maybe because he knew I was going to be coming over for a visit and left it unlocked for me! Oh Timmy, you're so thoughtful!"
Tootie pushed open the door and looked around the living room for any signs of life.
"Hello…? Timmy? Are you in here…? Anyone…?"
Tootie went from room to room on the first floor hoping that Timmy was somewhere in one of them. She even looked in all the closets, under the kitchen sink, and even in the toilet in the downstairs bathroom because she told herself you just never know… After a few minutes of searching, she was quite exhausted and sat down on the couch.
"Where is he?" she wondered aloud. "Where's anyone? No Timmy to be found downstairs anywhere and no car in the driveway…" Another thought crept into her mind. "Maybe something terrible has happened to him! I'm coming Timmy! Oh wait, I haven't looked upstairs yet; his bedroom is the first place I should have looked. I must be more stressed out at the prospect that he's seeing someone else than I thought."
As Tootie made her way to the stairs and started climbing them to the second floor, Cindy and Vicky finally broke from their fighting in Timmy's room and both were clearly exhausted.
"I…must…say… You…are…pretty…good…" gasped Vicky.
"You're…not…too…bad…yourself…" panted Cindy. "However…we are…by no means…finished here."
"It seems that we are evenly matched, though. Something I'd never thought I'd actually witness-someone just as advanced as me," replied Vicky, once she regained her breath.
"I guess there's a first time for everything, huh?" replied Cindy, after she regained hers as well.
"How about you guys just give us the teleportation device and we'll call it a day, hmmm?"
"Not a chance, Vicky," replied Timmy. "Besides, your friends are a little incapacitated at the moment." He gestured to Crocker and Calamitous who were still out cold on the floor.
Vicky looked down at the two of them on the floor and frowned.
"Drat… Oh well, I still have these!"
Tootie had made it to Timmy's room and was just about to enter when she saw Vicky in the room with her back to her. She gasped and immediately put her back to the wall outside the room. She then heard two explosions and the sound of people coughing. Inside the room, Vicky had immediately pulled out two small orbs from her pants pocket and threw them on the floor. They immediately erupted into thick clouds of smoke and everyone started coughing.
"What the heck?!" coughed Timmy. "Since when do you have smoke grenades?"
"Since I made them a few days ago in my garage, twerp! I was hoping to save them for a rainy day, but I thought that now would be the perfect time to put them to good use!"
Vicky calmly strolled over to Timmy and took the Auto-Poofer from him and then walked over to where Crocker and Calamitous were and took the Game Buddy from Crocker.
"Hey, how come you're not affected by the smoke?" coughed Jimmy.
"Because I designed the grenades to only be effective on twerps ten years old and younger, so it only works on you and doesn't do a thing to me!" laughed Vicky. "Ahahahahaha!! Now, how is this thing supposed to work…?" Vicky was trying unsuccessfully to figure out how the Auto-Poofer and Game Buddy were supposed to go together and finally jammed the pen into the port on the top of the Game Buddy. "Ah, there we go…! Now, what was that place called again that the crazy teacher mentioned…? Fairy World or something…?"
As Vicky tried to find the right setting for the teleportation to take place, Crocker and Calamitous woke up from their daze and the smoke in the room finally cleared.
"Sweet muffins..." muttered Calamitous as he massaged his forehead. "What the heck just happened?" He then noticed Vicky holding the Game Buddy with the Auto-Poofer sticking out of it and a wicked grin slowly spreading across her face. "You got it to work?" he asked incredulously as he and Crocker ran over to her.
"I told you it wasn't that complicated, you dimwit", shot back Vicky. She then grabbed the two of them and disappeared into thin air.
Tootie stood frozen outside of Timmy's room not knowing what to do next. She was torn between barging into the room and standing up to Vicky if she was torturing Timmy on the other side or staying where she was considering that she heard voices that she didn't recognize and that it might be dangerous to just walk right in. However, a yell from Timmy jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Nooooooo!!" shouted Timmy as he ran over to the spot where the trio once stood. "You guys, we have to get to Fairy World! Cosmo and Wanda are in danger!"
"And after witnessing what that crazy teacher of yours did to the place when I was there, your computer programs won't be the only ones in danger!" replied Jimmy.
"We've got to figure out how to get there…" muttered Timmy. "Hey, where's my wristband?"
Timmy looked all around his room until he noticed the white orb lying on the floor. He quickly walked over to it with everyone following him and then picked it up and turned it over in his hands.
"Timmy, what is that thing?" asked Cindy.
Tootie gasped. "So, he does have another girl in there!" she silently thought. "And she sounds nothing like Trixie! What in the world is going on?"
"It's a device that Cosmo and Wanda gave to me that allows me to travel back and forth between Dimmsdale and Retroville. All I have to do is turn the dial on the orb to the dimension I want to visit and a portal immediately opens up in front of me. If anyone wants to go with me, they'll have to go through the portal first followed by me because if they don't, then they will be stuck in that particular dimension. However, considering you guy's expertise on dimension jumping in the past, I would think that you would have some way to get to the other dimension if necessary. I just wish that Cosmo and Wanda would have put a Fairy World setting on this thing…"
Tootie was listening very intently to every word from her position outside the room. "What the heck is Timmy talking about? Dimension jumping? Fairy World? And who the heck is Cosmo and Wanda?"
In his room, Timmy still looked bummed as he turned the orb over in his hands trying to find anything that could help them get to Fairy World.
"Hey wait, look at this!" he shouted suddenly.
On the side of the orb was a small button and written above it were the words "Fairy World".
"Hey, Cosmo and Wanda did give us a way to get there! Alright everyone, get ready!"
Timmy then pressed the button and a portal opened up in front of everyone. "Okay guys, go in and I'll be the last one through to make sure that nothing goes wrong in the process."
Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, and Sheen stepped into the portal and Timmy put one foot in and was just about to go through when he saw Tootie standing in his doorway.
"Tootie? What are you doing here?" he asked, shocked.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Tootie as she angrily marched over to where he was standing. "Is this another way to avoid me? By shutting yourself up in your room and having a little club with your friends?" She knew that Vicky had been in here only moments before, but was more concerned with Cindy and everyone else at the moment.
"What? No! Well, not really…"
"Don't try to play dumb with me, Timmy! There was another girl in here and she sounded nothing like Trixie Tang! So, are you just jumping from one girl to the next in the hopes that I'll just give up on you and leave you alone?"
"You know, this really isn't the time…"
"Oh, I think that this is the perfect time, Timmy!" Tootie had noticed the rather large portal in the middle of the room that Timmy was halfway into, but was too caught up in the moment to care. "I heard every word of what you said a few moments ago!"
Timmy paled. "You heard everything…? Wait, how long were you standing outside my door?"
"Long enough to hear a whole bunch of weird conversations and your little speech to that girl, although I couldn't quite make out the last sentence… Why can't you just see me as someone who really loves you for who you are? That Trixie Tang will never love you and I just can't understand how you can keep trying to win her heart after the numerous times that she's turned you down! And I bet that girl that was just in here is using you as well!"
Timmy noticed that the portal was starting to close up and he had better act fast if he was going to make it through in time even though he could just end up opening another one if this one closed. He didn't want to keep Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, and Sheen waiting and he really didn't want to be stuck with Tootie especially in the kind of crazed state that she's in right now.
"Uh Tootie, could we maybe talk about this later…?"
Tootie narrowed her eyes at him. "Why? Are you worried you'll keep your friends waiting if you stick around too long? Look me in the eyes, Timmy. I realize that you've been avoiding me a little more than usual lately and I feel hurt by it. Why are you so distant from me?"
The portal was dangerously close to closing up completely.
"Tootie, I need to go."
He was just about to go all the way through the portal when Tootie grabbed his wrist.
"You don't have to go, you know," she said a little bit calmer. "You can stay here and we can talk. Your friends can wait and I think I deserve some answers."
"I have a major situation that I need to tend to first that is more important right now, but maybe later we can talk, alright?" Then, he silently added. "When it starts raining guava juice… Hey, that would make a great wish!"
Tootie brightened a little and nodded her head. "Okay…"
Suddenly, the portal grew very narrow and an invisible force started pulling Timmy into the vortex. Timmy dropped the orb out of surprise and disappeared into thin air as the portal closed around him. Tootie opened her mouth in shock as she stared at the spot where he had been only seconds before. She then looked down at the orb lying on the floor, carefully picked it up, and turned it over in her hands.
"Timmy was holding this right before he got pulled into that mysterious hole… Maybe it's a device that allows him to jump across dimensions like he said earlier…" She then noticed the "Retroville" and "Dimmsdale" settings in the middle of the orb and out of curiosity, she turned the dial on it from "Dimmsdale" to "Retroville". Immediately, a portal opened up in front of her. Tootie was initially startled by this, but her curiosity got the best of her and she slowly approached the swirling vortex.
"I wonder where this leads to… Could it be to a different dimension like what Timmy was talking about earlier? I guess there's only one way to find out…" She strapped the orb around her wrist, took a deep breath, and then stepped into the vortex.

How's that for an exciting chapter? I'll admit there was a lot going on here and everything will be explained in due time. How will Tootie react to Retroville and who do you think she'll meet there first? There is one person who I have in mind and I'll leave it up to you guys to figure out who it is! Don't forget to review and I'll have Chapter 7 ready as soon as I can!
