Disclaimer: I do not own Jimmy Neutron and anything related to it.
Hey guys! It's me again! This idea just popped out of mind while I was reading a sad fanfiction, I wanted to get away with the melancholy and drama, so I tried to cheer myself up by writing this short fluffy piece, not really superb, but at least it worked! :))
''Seriously Jimmy?! Did you really have to interrupt me from one of my MOST IMPORTANT meetings just for this?! We could have just eaten near my firm! Why did it have to happen NOW?!'' Cindy shook her head as she closed her eyes in disbelief.
''I told you, it's a surprise!'' Jimmy replied eagerly with a smile plastered on his face.
'Surprise, eh? This is more like one of your gazillion stupid pranks, I know it!'' Cindy formed her hands into a fist and crashed them against the wooden table. Jimmy brought her to a country-themed bistro and the place had many customers. All tables were full and everybody was chomping on their food noisily. It was not fancy, but it was necessary for the surprise Cindy was half-heartedly anticipating. She folded her arms and rolled her eyes as she leaned on her chair. True, she was starving to death, she could eat a badgillion chicken at the moment, but she was supposed to be in a meeting with a client, a very important client!
Closing time, open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on over every boy and every girl
''Hey, it's my favorite song! I change my mind, Let's stay here first, this song rarely plays on the radio nowadays,'' Cindy remarked and grinned gleefully.
''You're welcome! It's called the 'part one' of the surprise,'' Jimmy revealed. He showed a slightly playful smirk.
Cindy gasped and widened her eyes. ''This song has never played again since 2 years ago!''
Closing time, one last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer
Now, Cindy noticed pink and red hearts pasted onto the place's glass windows, and how lovey-dovey the couples were. It was February, after all, but something just did not feel right.
''Wait, I have to go to the bathroom,'' Jimmy stood up and put his hands in his pockets as he walked with great finesse.
Cindy, still annoyed, glared at him, ''Gosh! Jimmy! I don't have time for this! If you don't come back in a GLITCHY MINUTE, I AM LEAVING!'' Cindy yelled exasperatedly.
The other people in the bistro stared at her, but she did not mind, why would she? She was the famous district attorney who has won every case that was thrown at her.
''Isn't that Attorney Cynthia Vortex?''
''What's she doing here?''
''I don't know, she was with a man a while ago.''
''That's James Neutron, you idiot! The owner of Neutron Electronics!''
Closing time you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here
Jimmy returned from the so-called bathroom as Cindy's eyes roamed around him, scrutinizing him, his every action, something was really not right. She has never felt this way around him, as if something life changing, life altering was seriously going to happen. For the first time in their 8-year-old relationship, she was actually curious of what Jimmy was going to show her. For the first time in their relationship, she felt as if she did not know Jimmy, she could not foresee what he was going to do.
Jimmy, who was still standing up in front of Cindy, nodded while looking slyly at the kitchen crew of the restaurant. They went out of the kitchen and stood near the counter, everyone was standing up, except for Cindy Vortex. She unknowingly stood up as she looked the people around her cluelessly. She was puzzled and did not exactly know what to do. ''Is this part of the so-called surprise?'' She thought.
I know who I want to take me home
Jimmy got down on one knee as he eyed Cindy knowingly. He pulled out a square, red velvet ring box.
''OH. MY. GOSH. OH MY GOSH. WAIT, WAIT THIS ISN'T HAPPENING OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!'' Cindy pressed her temple. She widened her eyes and left her mouth open. ''OH MY GOSH JIMMY THIS ISN'T HAPPENING,'' She lightly bit her lower lip.
I know who I want to take me home
''Tell you what, it really is happening Cindy, there is more to come,'' Jimmy smiled as he opened the ring box, it contained a 14-karat silver ring embedded with shimmering diamonds.
''JIMMY! DON'T DO IT! I SWEAR I'M GONNA CRY! I'M GONNA CRY! I AM SO GONNA CRY! YOU ARE SICK DEAD IF YOU MAKE ME CRY IN THIS PUBLIC PLACE! DON'T DO IT JIMMY! I'M GONNA CRY!'' Cindy fanned herself as hot tears started to form in her eyes, ready to drop any second now.
''Cindy, for the past, I don't know, 8 years of my life, I have been living as the happiest man in the world. I know we don't always agree on things and I know that you really find me egotistical and irritating at times. I know I am weird, I am... a dork, but I…I…I think I…I am now ready to live my life with you forever. I want to start a deeper relationship with you Cindy. It would really make me…feel…exhilarated… If you take responsibility for me, as your husband…Will you marry me?''
I know who I want to take me home
Cindy who was completely stunned and taken aback by Jimmy's sudden proposal could not answer properly. She could not find her words and her voice felt like it left her being. She could not say anything at all. So this was the twisted gut feeling she has been having since they entered the bistro. She knew it was going to be a make or break decision.
I know who I want to take me home
She looked at the people staring at them lovingly, and caught a glimpse of her best friend, Libby, Sheen and Carl. Mr. and Mrs. Neutron, her own parents were also there. Why didn't she notice them earlier?
Take me home
She had taken a look of the other customers present inside the eating establishment, it was as if Jimmy set her up in a crowded environment, forcing her to say 'yes'. If she answers him with a 'no', she will look bad and heartless. And she did not like that, especially when it involved James Neutron.
Closing time, time for you to go out to the places you will be from
''I…'' She started speaking. She shifted her gaze from the people around to Jimmy. Was she being forced?
''Yes, yes?'' Jimmy looked at her intently.
''I…I…do,'' Cindy uttered, rather lifeless and dazed.
It was as if she did not know what she had just replied to Jimmy's life changing proposal.
''Yes?! Yes you do?! You do? You do!'' Jimmy quickly stood up and hugged Cindy ever so tightly as he closed his eyes and laughed at himself. She was finally, officially his.
''What? I do? I do? I do! I do Jimmy! I will marry you!'' Cindy, now finally fully aware of the situation, repeated her answer a million times to convince herself she was not dreaming. That she really said 'I do!' to Jimmy, her one and only.
They hugged each other. They could not resist their idiotic, love-struck smiles, but who would mind? They were madly in love with each other, and no one could counter that fact.
After they broke away, they smiled at each other once more.
''Jimmy, you know I really hate you right?'' Cindy giggled while Jimmy put the ring on her finger.
''For making you feel weak and all giddy inside? For making your knees wobble every time you see me? For always making you blush in public? Yes, I am completely aware you hate me, I am the only one who is capable of doing those things to you, am I right?'' Jimmy held her hands.
''I love you too, Vortex!''
Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
