And now, for the next chapter of this story! Anyway, enjoy!

Jimmy groaned as he tried to pry his eyes open. He didn't know how long he was out, but all he knew was that the surrounding Gorlocks had knocked him out. Nearby, he heard the sound of robotic barking as he felt a robotic tongue touching him, in an attempt to lick it.

"Goddard, I'm up, I'm up..." Jimmy groaned as he opened his eyes and rubbed his head as he was trying to take in his surroundings... only to be surprised BY his surroundings. Maybe it was because he hadn't read up on Gorlockian lore, but he always assumed that because of their warrior-like nature, they would live in small clans or village like societies. So, seeing that he was in a bed with a very soft mattress was quite surprising to him. Jimmy tried to get up to examine more of the room, only to jolt a bit in pain as he felt his head again. It was only then he noted the bandage that was on the side of his head. "Goddard? Think you can conjure a mirror, boy? How bad is it?"

Goddard barked as he opened a compartment from his back to pull out a hand-held mirror. Jimmy quickly examined it to see that he was mostly okay, aside from a large bandage wrapped around his head. His hair was still good, but he became worried about the damage that was done to his head.

"I just hope I didn't lose any vital infomortation…" Jimmy said as he started thinking about all the things he remembered, like science projects, his parents, his friends, the periodic table, the aliens he met through his travels, the enemies he made... Jimmy gave a sigh of relief. "Good, it's all there. Guess the damage wasn't too blunt."

Goddard barked a bit as he put the mirror away. It was then and there the boy genius looked around at his surroundings. He seemed to be in a girl's room, and he could probably tell by the purple walls that adorned the room. But alongside that were an assortment of weapons, training equipment and punching bag in the room, which gave Jimmy room to pause. Before he could think about where he was, his question was soon answered the minute he heard the sound of a flapping cloth being lifted.

The boy genius turned fast and saw a friendly face walking in, with a cauldron filled with some sort of liquid, coming in. Noticing the boy was up, she smiled as she walked over to him. "Oh good! You're awake!"

"April... hey..." Jimmy blushed at the sight of seeing the female Gorlockian he had made friends with so long ago. April approached with the liquid as she handed it to Jimmy.

"Uh, sorry about the welcoming committee. They... thought you were an outside intruder trying to invade the lands." April looked down in embarrassment. "They would have made you and your dog into shishkabobs had I not stepped in."

Jimmy gave a sigh of relief as he looked down at the drink, wondering what this possibly was. After all, he didn't want to put the liquid in his lips without knowing if it was dangerous or not. But April gave him a smile and patted the boy on his back. "Go on, take a sip. It's just boiled water."

Jimmy looked a little unsure, but gave a small sip anyway... before spitting it out in disgust. Jimmy shook his head as he yelled, "I thought you said this was water!"

"It is." April grinned. "It's a special remedy called 'Lukeswarm Water'. Boil it, and consume it, and your pains will feel better."

Jimmy paused as he raised an eyebrow towards the girl, then gave a shrug, not wanting to be rude to his friend as he took another sip. The taste was a bit strange at first, but once he swallowed it, he could feel the aftertaste was quite a delight. "Huh. Well, I guess this was all right."

"Told you." April laughed. "So, what brought you all the way to my home planet? This is the first time I've ever seen you step foot in the land."

Jimmy looked over and gave a smile. "Oh well, I wasn't doing much, and I thought, 'why not take a vacation in space for a while'?"

"And the first place you thought of was mine?" April said, giving a small smile.

"Well... something along the lines of that." Jimmy bit his lip nervously, blushing a bit. For some reason, his heart was beating a bit faster when talking with April.

"I see." April said amused before looking serious. "You know, Jimmy, as much as it's great to see you, I'm afraid you picked a bad time to come visit."

"I-I have? Why?" Jimmy asked as Goddard hopped up on the bed, noticing April's distressed face.

April gave a sigh as she got up. "Jimmy, you've met me before. You know me as one of the smartest and bravest warriors of my planet."

"Of course. I've seen you in action." Jimmy gave a small grin.

"Well..." April paused as she looked down, before looking over at Jimmy sadly. She gave a sigh... before giving a small grin. "Don't worry about it. I'm glad to see you, Jimmy Neutron."

The boy genius couldn't help but give a smile towards the alien girl, but before he could respond, he was taken aback by the alien girl grabbing him and putting his lips towards the boy, initiating what Jimmy thought was either a kiss or the Gorlockian Seal of Trust. After a brief moment with their lips touching, April pulled away from Jimmy as he blushed, and confirmed his answer, "Before you ask, I was confirming my Gorlockian Seal of Trust."

Jimmy blushed red as April couldn't help but give a giggle, with Jimmy saying, "I can see you still have a lot of trust in me."

"Well, what can I say?" April smiled. "It is the only way to ensure that everyone is okay with you."

Goddard barked as April gave a smile and patted him on the head. "You know, Jimmy, you're the first person I've seen that comes with his own build-your-own pet. What's the reason for that?"

Jimmy looked over at April with a smile as he said, "Man, that's a story I wanted to share. And everyone on Earth already knows it... but I'm sure you'd like to know too."

"We've got a lot to catch up on, if our last conversation was any indication." April lifted an eyebrow with a smile.

"That we do." Jimmy smiled as he looked over at the alien girl. "So, it all began when I was about six or seven. I was just studying up on science for the first time in my life, and as any kid would like, they would want a pet of their very own. My father, as eccentric as he is, and my mother, sweet as can be, told me that a pet would be a lot of responsibility and work. Now, at the time..."

As Jimmy started to explain the story on Goddard, April gave a smile as she intently listened to Jimmy's story, smiling a little as she looked at him, her own thoughts playing out in mind.

"Jimmy Neutron. I'm glad you came in at a very dire moment..." April thought to herself as she held the interested and happy face, though her thoughts sounded a bit sad on the outside. "If only you knew what was about to come... I just hope you're not too mad when you figure it out..."
