Chapter 8: Go Home and Party!

In the previous chapter, Jimmy and Carl had prevented the asteroid from hitting Planet Gorlock. They made it back to Gorlock, where the rest of Team Neutron, Space Bandits, and the Gorlockian people were waiting for them. They landed right and saw their friends, who were cheering.

"Carl! You finally overcome your fears!" Sheen happily exclaimed as he ran up to hug Carl so tight.

"Jimmy!" Cindy exclaimed as she ran up to Jimmy and hugged him as well. "I was too worried about you!"

"You both did it!" Papa Gorlock happily said. "You saved all of our planet."

"Way to go, dude!" Nick smiled as he playfully punched Jimmy on the arm. "You too, Carl!"

"You know, Jimmy, you're not stupid after all," Cindy said.

"Really?" Jimmy asked.

"No," Cindy replied as she shook her head. "You're a hero."

"Thanks, Cindy," Jimmy smiled.

"I actually helped save the Planet Gorlock," Carl said to himself. "This is probably the first proudest day of my life."

"Congrats, you guys," Tee happily said as he walked over to Jimmy and Carl with open arms and hugged them tightly as well, spinning them.

"You've saved the day again, Jimmy Neutron," April said as she kissed the boy genius's lips.

"Oy vey," Cindy rolled her eyes.

"April, will you join us for the party at the park tomorrow night?" Jimmy asked.

"Hmm, well, it resembles I'll be busy with my parents and people," April replied. "Sorry, but you all will be enjoying the fun."

"Yes, we will," Jimmy said before turning to April. "So, will I see you again, April?"

"As I said before, our realms are separated from parsecs of space, Earthy boy. Maybe sometime soon," April said, then she kissed Jimmy on the lips again before returning to her folks.

"Darn it!" Cindy said as she slapped her forehead. "Why doesn't anyone care about my feelings?"

"No," Libby bluntly said. "No, they don't."

"Hey, Jimmy, now my colleagues and I are going to be with you kids," Zix suggested. "We also will be staying on Earth for one day."

"That sounds excellent," Travoltron added.

"Yeah, of course," Jimmy nodded. "It will start at 8 p.m. And meet us tomorrow night."

The Space Bandits wordlessly nodded.

"Hey, Jimmy, do you mind when we can play golf here?" Sheen asked.

"No, Sheen," Jimmy replied. "We will be leaving here right now."

"So long, Jimmy Neutron and friends," April said. "Bye, you guys. And see you whenever."

Team Neutron and Space Bandits walked right into their respective spaceships and lifted off into space. They were heading to the planet Earth.

"Bye! Good-bye! So long," Gorlockian people waved goodbye to their friends.

-Into the space-

Jimmy turned on the ship's radio and spoke into the speaker. "Jimmy Neutron is calling the Space Bandits! Come in, now!"

"This is Zix to Jimmy Neutron," Zix said over the radio. "Read you loud and clear."

"Do you know where is the planet Earth when we're on our way, so will you follow me?" Jimmy asked through the speaker.

"Yeah, of course. Follow me," Zix said through the speaker.

"Thank you," Jimmy said through the speaker.

"You're welcome, Jimmy," Zix said through the speaker. "What are friends for."

Jimmy turned on the autopilot and turned to his friends. "Guys, how about some traveling music to set the mood?"

"You just read my mind, Jimmy," Libby snapped her fingers. "Hit it!"

Jimmy turned on the radio, and some pop music began playing. Everybody started moving to the rhythm.

"We're teenagers in America! We're teenagers in America! Everybody lives for the music go-round!" Team Neutron sang along to the song as they were on their way to return to the planet Earth.

-In an hour later, so Retroville's time is 3:30 p.m.-

Into the Earth's atmosphere, the Astro-car spaceship safely landed in the back of Jimmy's clubhouse, so McSpanky ship safely landed anywhere.

"Jimmy, I want to say thank you for inviting me into the universe," Gina happily said. "I enjoyed taking a space trip. And that's so great experience."

"No problem," Jimmy said, winking. "I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Hey, Nerdtron! I'll be watching you all the time when we go to the party tomorrow night!" Cindy proclaimed.

"Whatever," Jimmy rolled his eyes. "Everyone, how about we go to the Candy Bar tonight?"

"Great choice," Britney said.

"Yeah, that sounds like the perfect way to celebrate," Libby agreeably said.

"Jimmy would be buying for us!" Sheen exclaimed.

"Oy vey," Jimmy sighed. "Now, return to your home. This party will be starting by 8 p.m. tomorrow."

Team Neutron headed back to their houses.

-In the next day, Retroville's time is 7:30 p.m.-

The weather in Retroville Park is mostly clear and warm, and no winds tonight. Corky Shimatzu placed the television, Soma 44" PancakeTek, near the empty outdoor stage and outdoor grill. However, Corky left for his family's house. Just then, several people (whom they're food carriers) also placed the hot dog buns, hamburger buns, the kind of chips, slices of vegetables, lid plastic squeeze bottles of each sauce (ketchup, honey mustard, mayo, and BBQ), and the type of desserts and drinks, paper plates, and plastic utensils on the rectangular outdoor table. Consequently, Jimmy and Goddard are just coaching the party.

-In 12 minutes later-

Cindy, Libby, and Gina arrive at the park, wherever they meet Jimmy, Goddard, Carl, and Sheen. They saw these games, rectangular outdoor tables, picnic tables, outdoor plastic toilets, a one-sided handball with a goal net, and an empty outdoor stage around the park.

"Hola, ladies!" Sheen greeted as he waved his hand.

"Hello," Nick said as he arrived at the park with Britney.

"Welcome to our party, everyone. Goddard and I will cook these hamburgers and hot dogs on the outdoor grill for dinner tonight," Jimmy lectured his friends. "We will be watching TV for New Year City's Times Square located on the roof of One Times Square, where the ball drop descends a flagpole. We're not at the same time, so NYC's time is 8:48 p.m. right now. So, we'll be starting to watch TV at 10:45 p.m. Right, Goddard?"

"Bark, bark...!" Goddard agreeably barked.

"Jimmy, are you sure when we're staying here for the party as a curfew?" Carl asked. "We don't want to get in trouble."

"Umm, yes," Jimmy replied. "I asked Officer Tubbs permission for the celebration late at night, and then he approved us."

"Whew!" Sheen sighed.

"Jimmy, how do we differentiate our times?" Britney asked.

"The planet Earth rotates of different parts receive sunlight and darkness. I think it has four time zones in the USA," Jimmy explained. "Our town is a central time zone, although it's an eastern time zone in NYC. It's also a way to divide the world into different time zones."

"Oh, I see," Britney clearly said.

"Jimmy, where are Zix, Travoltron, and Tee?" Carl asked.

"I think they will be coming here soon," Jimmy replied. "About ten minutes."

"Gina, I saw Tee when he stared at you around the town last night," Sheen said. "He thinks you're so adorable."

"Yeah, I saw him totally...," Carl added.

"Are you serious?!" Gina shockingly asked.

"Yeah," Sheen said. "He likes you, but as a friend."

"Well, okay...," Gina sighed.

"Gina, don't worry, so I think Tee is much nicer than ever," Carl assured. "Now, he has already reduced to being dramatic and using to say fool to call everyone. I'm sure you'll be perfectly great."

"Yeah, Carl's right," Sheen added. "I recognized Tee is a hugger, but you don't need to get serious dating, just friends like each other."

"Okay, then," Gina said.

"Here's Betty Quinlan," Jimmy said as he saw Betty come to the park, drooling.

"Oy vey," Cindy rolled her eyes.

"Hi, Jimmy..." Betty flirtatiously greeted.

"Hello, beautiful. Welcome to the party," Jimmy flirtatiously said, drooling.

"Yes, I am here..." Betty amorously said in a manner.

"Wake up, Dweeb-tron!" Cindy shouted as she snapped her fingers in front of Jimmy. "Enough to flirt with Miss Hot Pants!"

"What are you calling me, Miss Big Mouth?!" Betty yelled at the blonde girl.

"Miss Big Mouth?!" Cindy shouted as she lost her temper. "Quit calling me a name, Quinlan! I've tried to move on, but this? That's the final time!"

"Libby, why are Cindy and Betty arguing around?" Gina asked.

"Because Jimmy always being flirting with Betty all the time," Libby replied. "It made Cindy get angry."

"Oh, darn it," Gina rolled her eyes.

"Cindy, I have nothing to do with this!" Betty argued with Cindy. "I had no idea!"

"Ha! Ha!" Cindy rudely giggled. "You're a terrible liar!"

"I'm not lying!" Betty argued. "Maybe if you listened to what I have to say..."

"Listened?!" Cindy argued. "There's nothing to listen to!"

"You're not even giving me a darn chance!" Betty argued.

"You've had your fricking chance, Quinlan!" Cindy sarcastically said.

"Look, I told you that he was yours last time!" Betty argued.

"But even after that, he's still stuck on you!" Cindy argued.

"Will you both stop arguing like that?!" Jimmy demanded as he gently pushed Cindy and Betty, which quickly subsided.

"Did you invite her to come here, Nerdtron?!" Cindy glared at the boy genius. "I saw you and April were deep kissing yesterday! I was screwing up myself!"

"Yeah, I did!" Jimmy retorted before turning to Betty. "I'm sorry, Betty, so I don't have any time."

"Jimmy, that's all right," Betty sighed before turning to Cindy. "Cindy, I've realized I made a big mistake, so he's all yours. Truce?"

"Umm, well..." Cindy calmly said. "I lost my temper, but that's fine. Truce!"

"Hey! We're here with all of you," Zix said as he arrived at the park with Travoltron and Tee.

"Hello, guys," Jimmy greeted the Space Bandits. "I'm happy to see you again. Welcome to our party."

"Yeah, we're delighted to be here for the party," Zix happily said. "It would be fun."

"I'm certainly excited, buddy!" Travoltron added.

"Me too," Tee added.

"Let's start playing the games, everyone!" Jimmy exclaimed. "Enjoy!"

Everyone started playing games and dancing for over an hour.

"Hut!" Sheen shouted as he tossed the horseshoe to the wooden stake onto the moist sand while playing with Carl on the court. "Goal!"

Cindy, Libby, and Britney sang and danced around on the outdoor stage.

"Yo, Tee!" Nick called out to the muscular reptilian. "Wanna play handball?"

"Alright, 8-Ball!" Tee declared. "If you've been playing me like some chump, I'll be playing handball with you over the goal net."

Nick and Tee started playing handball, which they were on 1-on-1.

"Zix, look at the pretty girl," Travoltron whispered, pointing to Betty Quinlan. "Is she looks gorgeous?"

"Yeah, I think so..." Zix said. "Why don't you meet and talk to her?"

A skinny reptilian tip-toed towards Betty. "Hello, beautiful human girl,"

"Ahhh...!" Betty scared, backing away. "Get out of my darn face and go away, freaky bug-head alien!"

"Listen to me," Travoltron begged. "I won't go to hurt you, so I just want to greet and talk with you."

"NEVER!" Betty yelled, then she walked away.

"Why doesn't she nice to me?" Travoltron sighed.

"Maybe this girl doesn't trust you," Zix replied. "Because she doesn't know who you are. So even, let's dance on the stage!"

"Yes," Travoltron nodded as he headed to the outdoor stage for dancing.

"Hello, Gina," Betty greeted. "Do you mind when I can play the tennis table with you?"

"Hi, sure," Gina replied as she handed Betty a racket, then started playing with Betty on the tennis table. "I like to play the tennis table since I grew up."

"Same here," Betty said as she began playing with Gina.

-In 20 minutes later-

"I need to go to the bathroom," Sheen said as he stopped playing and walked into the outdoor toilet.

"OW!" Carl whined. "My scapula!"

"Carl! You okay? I'm sorry when I accidentally whacked you with a tennis ball," Gina said as she paused playing the game.

"Yes, it's okay," Carl murmured.

-In 10 minutes later-

Sheen finished in the bathroom, and then he walked towards one-sided of the handball, where he met Nick and Tee. "Hey, guys. Can I join to play with you two?"

"Of course," Nick rolled his eyes.

"Sheen! Gimme a hug, FOOL!" Tee shouted as he grabbed Sheen in powerful arms, crushing him in a ferocious bear hug that made the Mexican boy gasp for breath.

"Hahaha!" Nick mockingly laughed, pointing to Sheen.

"It ain't funny!" Tee sternly said, then he let Sheen go to bounce off the ground. "You think it's funny, 8-Ball?!"

"Nick, I liked Tee and his colleagues are better when they were evil," Sheen remarked as he slowly stood up.

"I heard that!" Tee shouted as he shoved Sheen to play the handball. "I pity these fricking villains! Pity them bad!"

-In 15 minutes later-

"Everyone, time out!" Jimmy spoke into the megaphone.

Everybody stopped playing these games, and they stared at Jimmy.

"Break time!" Jimmy spoke into the megaphone. "Firstly, let's eat dinner. Then, eat the desserts. However, don't mix it up."

"Yes, I'll eat numerous desserts," Carl eagerly said.

"Carl, enough to eat these fricking desserts, or you'll get sick!" Sheen glowered as he put his hand covering Carl's mouth to be quiet.

These dinner foods are hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, and the kind of chips, slices of vegetables, and lid plastic squeeze bottles of each sauce. These desserts are chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies, brownies, and New Year's Eve cookies. These drinks are Purple Flurp and purified water bottles. Everybody (except Goddard) started placing some hamburger or hot dog with slices of vegetables or sauce into the bun and chips on their plates like a buffet, which they sat right on the respective seating of the rectangular picnic tables. They all gathered together to eat these foods and hang out a conversation along the way.

-In 35 minutes later, when everyone finished eating the dinner and some desserts-

"All right, everyone," Jimmy told everyone. "Time to play these games and whatever, or at least we all together."

Team Neutron and Space Bandits returned to play these games or whatever.

"Hiya!" Tee greeted as he sat next to Gina at the seating of the picnic table. "Gina is your name, right?"

"Hi, Tee," Gina greeted as she saw the muscular reptilian. "Yes, I am."

Tee cleared his throat. "You're so fortunate when my colleagues and I turned to good guys to meet you, except your friends. Consequently; the first time, we met your friends when we tried to steal their aster rubies. Then, we tried to catch and sell them when their whole town got accidentally shrunk. Finally, we teamed up with a bunch of other bad guys called The League of Villains while they attempted to capture Jimmy, but later, Sheen was a kid who made us turn good in the first place. We also were quitting from a group of darn villains 'cause nobody ever listened to me before, and they teased me like a dumb. Teased me bad! Now, you and these kids are my real friends. Friends stick together."

"Ohh, I see," Gina clearly said. "I've never heard that before, but now I'm so happy to see you guys are good deeds."

"Yeah, we're friends, and that's what friends are for," Tee smiled as he stood up, then opened his arms. "You wanna hug me, don't ya?"

"Hmm, sure," Gina smiled as she stood up, opening her arms. "Please don't squeeze me so hard."

"Okay, I won't. I'll respect you all the time," Tee smiled as he raised his eyebrows, then he wrapped his arms around Gina in a cozy hug so little tighter. "You're such an amiable lady I've ever met. I love you, sweetie."

"Thanks, I love you too," Gina snugly smiled after she hugged Tee back, and her head lay on the reptilian's chest. "You're such a lovable guy."

"You're doing a good thing for your friends in the world. Real good!" Tee said as he kept hugging and nuzzled Gina on the head.

"Yes, that's correct," Gina smiled as she kept hugging while she felt warm-hearted and slightly blushed on her face, thinking. (Tee and Voyle are similar in athletic body, but Tee is stronger than him.)

"You look so beautiful like sunshine and flower, FOOL! Hahaha!" Tee flirtatiously laughed after he let Gina go. "I like to see you get a smile looks so adorable."

"Awww, thanks," Gina snugly said, flirting as she gently shoved Tee on the chest. "You look so hot, but sweet and funny. Lol!"

"Tee, what are you doing to flirt with this girl?" Travoltron asked.

"What? Very funny, Tra!" Tee replied. "I'm little flirting with her, but I'm just playing to pick on her."

"Okay, then," Travoltron rolled his eyes.

"Y'know, Gina is such a nice, sweet, and cute girl. Real amiable," Tee remarked. "Plus, she's my friend like each other, that's all."

"Hmm, all right," Travoltron said. "Up to you."

"Hey, everyone!" Libby spoke into a microphone on the stage. "Let's sing the funky! Ready, Cindy?"

"Hit it, sister!" Cindy exclaimed, then she pressed the button power-on of the Bluetooth record player turntable with stereo speaker.

Betty and Gina started doing a happy prospector's dance while Nick and Britney danced in duo. Space Bandits did a thunderclap and hip-hop dance. Everybody began dancing to the band beats pretty well, but Sheen's dancing was energetic and fast-paced compared to everyone else.

"Wow, Sheen!" Libby surprisingly said as she saw Sheen's dance moves wild. "You're dancing up a storm in here."

"Well, this is nothing," Sheen said as he stopped dancing. "You should see what happens when I hear the macarena."

"Whatever," Libby rolled her eyes. "You're a hyperactive person ever."

"The music is nice here," Travoltron said.

"Oh, no!" Jimmy shockingly said as he saw the television had broken down when all of a sudden. "Don't worry, so I'd better repair a broken television immediately before we watch for the New Year countdown. Gotta Blast!"

"Bark, bark...!" Goddard agreeably barked.

"You got it, man!" Tee said as he gave pointing finger with his hands at Jimmy.

"You say anything, genius boy," Betty added.

"Hurry up, Jimmy!" Sheen called out in impatience. "It's 10:50 p.m. right now! I want to watch TV for the ball drops to countdown!"

"Stop being complaining, you dipstick!" Cindy yelled as she slapped her backhand on Sheen's mouth. "Jimmy's still fixing, so almost finished! It's about 10 minutes left, see?!"

"Ultra-geek, you're such a fricking impatient and annoy!" Nick proclaimed as he flicked the rubber band like an arrow on Sheen's head.

"Sheen, that blonde girl's right," Zix said. "We don't have to waste time, so New York City's time is 11:50 p.m. right now. And please be patient, okay?"

"Repairing completed!" Jimmy remarked as he pressed the button to power on to see the television. "Everyone, let's see the countdown."

"Jimmy, do we will see the fireworks in the sky?" Britney asked.

"Well, yes," Jimmy replied. "We will see the fireworks in the night sky after the countdown despite it's starting by 11 p.m. here."

Everybody watched the television with eager faces, which it's the live New Year's Eve Ball Drop in NYC.

"Go, ball drop, go!" Sheen eagerly said as he saw the ball drops start to descend the flagpole at the television.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1..." Everybody eagerly said a count of sixty seconds, which they cheered. "Happy New Year!"

"Eww! Stop it, Sheen!" Carl shouted after Sheen kissed him on the nose.

"That was awesome, I swear!" Travoltron happily cheered. "Happy New Year!"

"Dude, I'm gonna praise you guys!" Tee happily exclaimed as he approached to Jimmy, Carl, Cindy, and Britney with open arms.

"No group hugs!" the quartet shouted, backing away.

"Well, no matter..." Tee respectfully sighed.

Everybody began watching the fireworks in the night sky for 10 minutes, which they heard like a boom.

"OW! My ears hurt!" Carl cried as he put his hands covered on his ears. "That's very loud!"

"Wow! It's magnificent," Gina happily said.

"Yeah, that is," Britney happily added.

"Beautiful colors of the fireworks," Nick happily added.

"Neutron, I'm sorry when I treated you like garbage. I realize you made mistakes, but you're not the only one with problems like that. You know, I've never gotten a chance," Cindy admitted after Jimmy ignored her. "In reality, I like you a lot. We may fight a lot, but I truly do care about you. You're a smart, kind, talented, and wonderful person I've known."

"Really?" Jimmy wondered. "You know, I've always kind of thought that way about you."

"Yeah," Cindy flirtatiously said. "Dance with me?"

"Well, sure..," Jimmy said. "Goddard, open a record player."

"Bark, bark..." Goddard barked agreeably, then opened the back of a record player turntable.

"Come with me, my Ultra-Queen," Sheen said as he put his hand on Libby's hand.

Nick and Britney began dancing like Cinderella movie.

"You wanna dance with me, cutie-pie?" Tee asked the Korean girl, opening his arms.

"Yes, of course," Gina nodded as Tee's arms wrapped around her in a cozy hug so little tighter, which she hugged the reptilian back.

"Hey, Zix, come here," Travoltron opened his arms.

"No way!" Zix shrieked, backing away. He doesn't like to hug his friends and other people, so he agreed to give a handshake with them.

"Ok, then," Travoltron sadly sighed. "I wish I will be dancing with Boofunka in one day."

"Whatever," Zix rolled his eyes.

Carl held the photo frame and looked at Jimmy's parents. "Mrs. Neutron, I wish I want to dance with you. Screw you, Hugh!" Then, he kissed Mrs. Neutron in the photo frame.

"Carl, I think Jimmy's mom (Judy) isn't a kid, so she has married his father (Hugh)," Betty bluntly said. "She doesn't love you because you were annoying and flirting with her, causing she felt uncomfortable."

"Oy vey!" Carl rolled his eyes, then he puts the photo frame into his pocket.

Couple a five-minute hugging slow dance: Jimmy x Cindy, Sheen x Libby, Nick x Britney, and Tee x Gina (not in love interest) except for Carl, Betty, Zix, and Travoltron.

"Awww... Tee and Gina are interspecies couples. Time to sit in the tree, kissing. First comes love, then comes marri-" Sheen sang himself, but stopped mid-sentence because Nick punched him on the back of the shoulder. "OW!"

"Are you crazy, you boneheaded dweeb?!" Nick menacingly yelled. "Look, Gina is 13! This alien guy isn't a kid! He can't be getting dating with her!"

"Sheen, will you stop it, please?!" Gina demanded as she stopped dancing and hugging with Tee. "Don't make me blush!"

"Darn it, Sheen!" Tee shouted at the Mexican boy as he let Gina go. "You heard the 8-Ball what he said! 'Cause she's too young! Real young!"

"I'm just joking, Nick!" Sheen murmured.

"Sheen, how many times do I tell you?! And then, stop acting and doing stupid like that!" Libby shouted as she poked Sheen on the head.

"I said JOKE, okay?!" Sheen demanded.

"Gina, don't worry about Sheen," Tee assured as he rubbed Gina on the back. "He's a chump, and ignore him."

"Hmm, okay," Gina sighed slightly.

"Jimmy, I want to tell you something," Zix explained. "My colleagues and I will drive off the Earth and back into the galaxy before sunrise. As a result, thank you for letting me save the Planet Gorlock against the giant asteroid and beat these darn robots. And I think that's a really great party when we're thrilled here."

"I love a party," Travoltron added. "Thanks for inviting us, and we have a pretty good time."

"I'm glad you guys enjoyed it," Jimmy smiled.

"Yeah, we are," Zix happily said. "If you guys have an emergency, you will immediately rely on us. Or my colleagues and I have another problem, we'll immediately call you."

"All right, I will," Jimmy nodded. "I'm very grateful for all of you in here."

"Yeah, thanks," Zix smiled. "See you kids, whenever, and bye."

"Goodbye, kids," Travoltron added.

"You'd better listen to your parents and friends!" Tee declared as he pointed to the Korean girl. "Plus, be good behavior yourself! Get it, sweetie?"

"Yes, I got it," Gina nodded.

"Good girl!" Tee smirked as he accidentally kissed Gina on the cheek, then turned to Team Neutron. "Bye, guys!"

Gina snugly smiled while her face got blushed after Tee kissed her on the cheek, thinking. (Hmm, I don't have a love interest yet, so Voyle and I have been great friends for enjoying around the town for three months. Indeed, I love Voyle and Tee as a friend.)

Space Bandits waved goodbye, and they left the park and returned to McSpanky's ship.

"Okay, guys," Jimmy told his friends. "Now, time to go back home. We're pretty tired."

"I'm very sleepy, too...," Carl yawned.

"What an epic party," Gina happily said.

"Yeah, I know," Betty happily added.

"Nice party, dude," Nick said as he gave a thumbs up.

Jimmy told his friends. "Everyone, have a good night."

Team Neutron headed to return to their houses.

The End!


Author's Note:

Maybe, I'll write a new story for the Revenge of League of Villains when I have time.
