Now that we were in Fairy World, we had places to be. Tootie and I were just about to enter the Fairy World Museum of History. She was wearing the special camera glasses Jimmy made for her. The rest of our team did whatever they wanted.

I know Cosmo and Wanda went to visit Mama Cosma. Knowing that, I hoped Wanda would make it out of there alive. Poof stayed on the ship with Goddard. After Jorgen dealt with Chester, he planned to go back on the ship. Trixie decided to go to the closest thing to a mall she could find. I wasn't sure what Jimmy and Cindy were doing. Sheen and Libby went to an arcade, and Carl went on a search for a Fairy World croissant. When Tootie and I arrived at the Fairy World Museum of History, we entered through the main door to see a massive statue of me holding a giant wand. It was made two years earlier, after the end of the Fairy/Pixie war. Looking at the statue, Tootie said "What's that statue for?"

"That old thing? It was made to commemorate Fairy World's victory in the Fairy/Pixie war." I said. Look at me using big words like "commemorate," and using them correctly.

"Didn't Jorgen mention that earlier?" she said.

"Yes, he did. It happened two years ago." I said.

"So, I guess pixies exist?" she said.

"They do, and they're boring business obsessed creatures with no personality." I said.

"Then why was there a war?" she said.

"Two reasons. Reason one, the pixies wanted more land. So, they kidnapped thousands of fairies from their homes and stole the land for themselves. Which led to reason two, the pixies were the cause of the fairy shortage." I said.

"So, you had to share your fairies because the pixies were greedy?" she said.

"Exactly. Because of this, I joined the fight as soon as I heard about it. Chloe tagged along, because of course she did. Many battles later, I was barely able to lead the fairies to defeat the pixies and their ally, Remy." I said.

"Let me guess, he aided the pixies because you somehow caused him to lose his fairy?" she said.

"Bingo." I said.

"Really? I was just guessing." she said.

"And you guessed right. He did switch sides at the end though. Alright, let's get moving. I wanna see that famous treasure." I said. We walked over to the east side of the museum, where we saw the first piece of the World's Treasure. A perfect quarter of a golden circle that, when put together, would have a hole in the center. Like a big metal bagel. And there it was, sitting in the center of the early fairy history section. Its info card said this piece was three inches wide and tall, and one inch thick. Protecting the piece was a case of glass, as well as nine security cameras. One at the center of each wall, one on each corner, and one directly above. Tootie took a photo of each camera, before looking at her watch.

She said "That was quick. We've got a lot of time to kill. Wanna go to that park?"

"Definitely, it would be a great way to pass the time." I said. Before we left, I saw that there was a bust that bared Jorgen's likeness. But instead, it was dedicated to an Axel von Strangle. I knew I had to ask Jorgen about him when I had the chance. There was even a diorama of Mount von Strangle. As we were walking out of the museum, I felt like someone was following us, but I couldn't be sure. By the time we got to the park, no one seemed to be following us. We sat on a bench and admired the scenery.

As we admired that scenery, Tootie said "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, go ahead." I said.

"How many times have you been here?" she said.

"I don't know, hundreds of times at least." I said.

"Wow." she said.

"A lot of times, it was fun. Other times, it was more serious." I said.

"Do you have a home here?" she said.

"No, I don't think that's allowed." I said.

"That's a shame." she said.

"It really is." I said. We spent the next few minutes looking at the sights and talking, unaware that we were still being watched.

Of all the things I expected to find in Fairy World, a motel was not one of them. But Cindy and I were in a motel room, trying to set up my portable hacking station, which was being carried inside a hypercube for extra security. With this hacking station, I could hack into anything remotely. This included all security systems. The only thing we needed was a power source, which we were searching for. Cindy was looking by the TV, while I was looking under the bed. As we were searching through the room, Cindy said "Found any outlets yet Jimmy?"

"No, but I found a nickel." I said. I put it in my pocket for safe keeping.

"Well, keep searching." she said. We then resumed searching. Finally, I found an outlet.

So, I said "Found one." Cindy came over to look at it.

After looking, she said "Good, we can set up the station."

"Great. But, before we do that, can I ask you a personal question?" I said.

"Yeah, sure." she said.

"Are you and Timmy still a thing? It seems like every time you two got together lately, you were going to make out." I said.

"Why does that matter to you? After all, you're the one that wanted to break up." she said. It was true, I was the reason we broke up the year before. It wasn't even her, it was all me. I didn't feel like I was emotionally mature enough for her. At first, she didn't seem to mind. But over time, her not minding became a mask to hide the fact it bothered her. A year later, I felt like I was ready to start again.

But then the inventor's convention happened, so I threw myself into my work. My grand prize was a cruise for me and a guest. So, I decided to invite Cindy, and she said yes. Both our parents had to come, but it was still going to be fun. It was my chance to make things right with Cindy. The plan was to go to the cruise right after the party. But before we could leave, Timmy asked for my help, as well as the help of my friends. While I was disappointed, I figured I still had a chance with Cindy.

But of course, I forgot about Timmy and Cindy. Their first meeting was unpleasant at first, because she thought he was me. But she quickly realized that he wasn't me and fell for him quickly. After he went home the third time, I asked her what she liked so much about him. It was his confidence. Despite the fact he wasn't the most academic person, he spoke like he knew what he was talking about. He was honest about who he was. Apparently, he actively watched soap operas and read manly comics. He was confident in himself, and that was at ten.

Now, four years later, he seemed even more confident. Not only was he captain of the football team, but he even had a girlfriend. I only knew that last part because Tootie had screamed about some Missy girl back in Retroville. It was bad enough that he was so confident, but it was clear they still felt something. They were left alone for barely a couple minutes, and they were already about to make out. Seeing this really drove home the fact I loved Cindy. I wasn't jealous of Timmy, though it does sound like it. So, with all that in mind, I had to find a way to answer Cindy's question of "Why does that matter to you?"

So, I said "It matters to me because I care about you. Because I love you. I know I can be condescending, but I'm going to change that. All that matters is that I don't lose you."

Her response was "Good, because it turns out Timmy and I are really meant to be friends."

"Does this mean you want to try dating again?" I said.

"It does. What about you?" she said.

"Of course." I said before we hugged. After that, we set up the hacking station. Once it was set up, I sat down on my chair and turned it on for a test run. After the test was successful, we started putting the station back in its hypercube. But as we were packing, I felt this sudden urge to use the bathroom. So, I stood up and said "I gotta use the bathroom."

"Don't take too long." she said. I ran into the bathroom and did my business while Cindy finished putting the station away. As I was washing my hands, someone burst through the door. I ran out of the bathroom, and I couldn't believe who it was. It was Professor Calamitous.

"Jimmy Neutron, I am here to... wait, what are you two doing?" he said.

"Calamitous, how did you get here?" I said.

"Simple, Father Darkness brought me." he said.

"Wait a minute, you're working with Father Darkness?" I said.

"That's right Neutron, and he wants you." he said.

"Oh no!" I said.

"Goodnight, Neutron." he said. He then pulled out a dart gun, and shot a dart right into my neck, which knocked me out cold.

After our time in the park, we still had a half hour to kill. Tootie and I figured the best place to help kill time was the Fairy World Café, which was across from the Fairy World Motel that Jimmy and Cindy were in. The cafe was a beautiful place, inspired by French architecture. It even had a stage for performers to do their thing. On the stage was a fairy band singing the Beatles song "If I Fell." At our table, we ordered churros and two iced coffees. As we enjoyed our food and drinks, I said "Isn't this place nice?"

"It is." she said. I figured this was the right moment to tell her how I felt.

"Tootie, we need to talk." I said.

"About what?" she said.

Before I could even say something, I heard a voice next to me say "Hey Tim Tim, it's been a real long time, hasn't it?" I knew that voice, it was Imaginary Gary. I turned right and saw him standing next to me. He said "Four years, and you never sent a text." I couldn't believe it. How did he get off Unwish Island?

Needing answers, I asked "Gary, how did you get here?"

"My new friend Father Darkness got me here." he said.

"Father Darkness is your friend?" I said.

"Wait, I thought Gary was a made-up disguise to throw Remy off." she said. Gary then turned his attentions to Tootie.

"Oh my god, Kim Taylor, I didn't know you'd be here." he said. That's when I remembered that Tootie's name was actually Kim. Four years of friendship, and I still called her Tootie like that was her legal name. I guess I was just used to calling her Tootie. After remembering Tootie's legal name, I noticed Gary dancing like an idiot.

Wanting to know why, I said "Why are you so happy?"

"Tim Tim, I've been waiting for four years to meet her." he said before turning back to Tootie. "Kim, I love you. You mean more to me than any girl on this planet."

"That's so sweet." she said to Gary with nervous laughter. She turned to me and said "Timmy, can we talk for a moment?"

Sensing that she really needed to talk, I said "Yeah, sure."

She turned back to Gary and said "Do you mind giving us a little privacy?"

"No problem, Kim." he said. He moved back a bit, while Tootie and I moved closer.

She whispered "Tell me honestly, was I ever this clingy with you?" Before I could even answer, there was some commotion on stage. We looked to see Gary holding the microphone.

On stage, he said "Hello Fairy World Café. How are you? I'm great, because I met the love of my life tonight." He then pointed at Tootie and said "Kim Taylor, this song is for you." Then, out of nowhere, the band started playing "My Eyes Adored You" by the Four Seasons.

When Gary started singing, I said "Tootie, even the younger you would struggle to match Gary."

"I didn't even think that was possible." she said. As Gary sang, I looked across the street at the motel, where I saw a fairy van pulling up in the parking lot. From the back, a strange little bald man exited. I was in complete disbelief; it was Professor Calamitous. If he was here too, who knew what foes we would be going up against.

I looked back at Tootie and said "We should get out of here."

"Agreed." she said. We ducked below our table and quickly snuck away. Once we were inside the main building, we stood back up. I said "Quick, we need to get to the motel."

"Why?" she said.

"I think Jimmy and Cindy are in trouble." I said. We ran out of the café, where we saw Calamitous carrying Jimmy into the van. I ran towards the van as fast as I could as it started to leave. By the time it got to the exit, I was right in front of it. That's when I saw that the driver was Vicky, but no Calamitous. He was probably in the back with Jimmy.

Seeing me for the first time in two years, Vicky stuck her head through the open driver window and said "Long time no see twerp."

"What are you doing here Vicky?" I said.

"None of your business twerp." she said.

"Quit calling me that." I said.

"Try and stop me, twerp." she said. That was the moment things went really crazy. I walked over to her door and opened it, where I saw that she wasn't wearing her seatbelt. So, I pulled her out of the car. Standing toe to toe, she was still taller than me, but not by much. I got into my fighting stance, and before I could even land a hit, she punched me in the face. This put me in such a daze, that I fell down to the ground.

Seconds later, I could hear someone struggling and a van driving away. I stood up to see the van driving down the street, and Gary dragging Tootie towards a fairy motorcycle.

When they got to the motorcycle, Gary held her close and said "I'm sorry Kim, I'm just following orders." I ran towards them, hoping to knock Gary over. But just as I was about to reach him, he pulled out a switchblade. He then grabbed me, pushed me against the motorcycle, and held the blade to my throat. "Let me ask you Tim Tim, why do you like spoiling my fun?"

"Because it's fun for me." I said. He didn't like that answer.

He said "Well Tim, it was nice knowing you." Just as I thought I was going to be killed, Tootie pulled him away from me and punched him in the face.

She helped me stand back up, then said "You okay?"

I said "Yeah. Let's go to the motel and see if Cindy's still there." We walked over to the motel and went to where the door was kicked down. When we entered the room, I saw Cindy laying by one of the beds, holding a hypercube. Tootie and I walked over to her, where we lifted her on to the bed. Cindy then woke up.

She said "Where's Jimmy?"

"Professor Calamitous broke in and kidnapped him." I said.

"Calamitous kidnapped Jimmy?" she said.

"Yeah, what's so unusual about that?" Tootie said.

"Professor Calamitous has a habit of not finishing things, even kidnappings." I said.

"Either way, we need to save Jimmy." Cindy said. She stood up and pulled out her phone.

"What are you doing?" I said.

"I'm tracking Jimmy's cell phone. That way we know where he is." she said. Seconds later, there was a ping. She then said "Let's go." We followed her out of the motel and across the street. Gary had disappeared, along with his motorcycle. We needed a ride, so we all started trying to flag down a cab. All this, while Cindy's phone was still pinging.

As we tried to get a cab, AJ came over and said "Hey guys, what's going on?"

"Jimmy's been kidnapped." I said.

"What, by who?" he said.

"Professor Calamitous." the rest of us said.

"Who?" he said.

"A little bald scientist who can't finish anything. He's one of Jimmy's enemies." I said. It was here that AJ noticed the pinging coming from Cindy's phone.

He said "What's that noise?"

"We're tracking Jimmy's phone." she said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go save Jimmy." he said.

But as we all started moving forward, a voice from behind yelled "Not so fast!" We turned around to see that it was Remy Buxaplenty, and he looked pissed. I was baffled.

"Remy, what? How many friends does Father Darkness have?" I said.

"Shut up Turner. My parents love me!" he said. I must have really cut deep with that Gary bit.

"I knew I went too far." I said.

"Why did you lie to me? Afraid to talk man to man?" he said. What was it with people who weren't my friends trying to upset me? Was it a game for them?

"Remy, you were going to make some deal to take my fairies." I said.

"Lucky guess." he said.

"Lucky guess? Dude, you've been obsessed with getting my fairies since the day we met. At this point, you must be pretty stupid to believe I would ever accept any deal where I give you my fairies." I said.

"You peasant! How dare you talk to me like that." he said. I had it with his condescending attitude.

So, I said "Remy, I'd choose your next words carefully."

He said "Or what Turner? Are you gonna beat me up? You don't scare me, twerp." Remy must have really wanted an ass kicking.

"Really?" I said.

"Yeah." Remy said as he walked up to me. When Remy stood in front of me, it was clear that I was taller. So much so, that Remy had to stand on his toes to look eye to eye with me. It was too funny to be scary.

"You expect me to be scared of someone standing on their tippy toes." I said.

"Silence! Let's make this simple. You give me your fairies, and I'll let you live." he said.

"Here's a counteroffer. I keep my fairies, and you kindly scram to your million-dollar mansion with your tail between your legs. Sound good Richie?" I said.

"Oh Turner, I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." he said as he pulled out a laser gun. Before Remy even had his finger on the trigger, I flipped him over to the ground and disarmed him. I let go of Remy and stood up. Remy then stood up and faced me. He took a swing at my face and missed. I punched him in his stomach, and he fell to the ground in defeat. Remy got up and ran away, leaving behind the laser gun and holster. I picked them up and equipped them before a van pulled up in front of us. The door was opened, where we saw Carl.

"Get in." Carl said. We then got in, and the van drove off. Driving the van was Sheen, with Libby in the passenger's seat. There were more than enough seats for everyone sitting in the back. They even had seatbelts, which we all wore.

Libby turned around to face us and said "Where'd you get that laser gun Timmy?"

"Remember Remy?" I said.

"Blonde Eustace Strych, right?" she said.

"Right. I disarmed him in a fight." I said.

"That's cool dude! You wouldn't believe what happened at the arcade." Sheen said.

"My evil ex-babysitter's here. At this point, I'll believe anything you say." I said.

"We ran into a giant robot man thing with a little toy dog." Libby said.

"Sounds like Dark Laser and Flipsie." I said.

"You wished Dark Laser into existence, and you also wished for a Flipsie? Why not just Flipsie?" AJ said.

"Hey, I was ten. And I didn't just wish Dark Laser into existence, I used a magic copy machine to bring him and Flipsie into existence." I said to AJ before turning back to Sheen and Libby. "Did you run into anyone else?"

Libby said "That was it. We ran out of the arcade as fast as we could and saw this van. We got in, and the keys were in the ignition."

"That's about when they found me tied up here." Carl said. "There I was, enjoying a delicious croissant, when that Dark Laser guy tied me up and threw me in the van."

"So now we're going to the ship." Sheen said.

"Actually, we were trying to follow Jimmy before you picked us up." Cindy said.

"Are you tracking him?" he said.

"Yes, here." she said as she handed him her cell phone.

He then handed the phone to Libby and said "Where is he now?"

"Apparently, he's about three cars ahead." she said. Then randomly, the pinging stopped.

"What happened?" Cindy said.

"I don't know, he just disappeared." Libby said. Then the pinging started again. She then said "That's odd."

"What is it?" Carl said.

"According to the map, Jimmy somehow teleported to a random suburb on the other side of Fairy World." she said.

"How long would it take for us to get there?" I said.

"Thirty minutes?" she said.

"Sheen, do you mind?" I said.

"Our friend needs us, we're gonna get him." Sheen then made a U-turn and started driving towards that suburb. No matter what got in our way, we were going to save Jimmy.

I woke up trapped in a van with my kidnapper Professor Calamitous. The driver was a wicked woman named Vicky, Timmy's former babysitter.

"Good, you're finally awake." Calamitous said.

"Wait, how did you kidnap me? I thought you couldn't finish anything?" I said.

He said "Truth is Neutron, nothing really is finished. A sentence may end, but a new one begins. A task may end, but a new one pops up. The only thing final is death, which really puts a perspective on things. Though, it is sometimes diff, ugh, diff, uh—"

"Difficult?" I said.

"Yes." he said.

I looked out of the windshield and saw that we were in a random fairy suburb. It didn't look like anything that surrounded the motel, so I said "Where are we?"

"About halfway across Fairy World." he said.

"Wow, I must have been out for an hour at least." I said.

"Actually, it was closer to three minutes." Vicky said.

"That's impossible." I said.

"Not with fairy magic, it isn't." he said. Suddenly, the van stopped, and Vicky turned it off. It was clear that we had entered a garage.

She then turned around and said "We're here." Before I could even ask where here was, the back doors were opened. Standing outside of the van was Denzel Crocker, and a giant robot carrying a little toy dog. The robot walked over and helped me out of the van. When I stepped out, I saw we were in what looked like a garage. The main door was open, and it was clear that we were on the dead end of a Fairy World suburb. There was a single door inside the garage that led into the house.

"Mr. Neutron, welcome to Darkness HQ." Crocker said.

"Darkness HQ?" I said.

"Yes. Your friends would have joined us if someone…" Crocker said, before looking at the robot "…hadn't lost them."

The robot said "Denzel, Wheezer was easy. It was Estévez and Folfax that were difficult."

"Yes, Dark Laser, so difficult that you lost your van." Crocker said.

"Regrettably." Dark Laser said. It was then that a mysterious biker came in wearing a red leather jacket and red helmet. After parking his motorcycle, he took off his helmet and tossed it across the garage. I got a look at this guy, and thought it was Timmy.

So, I said "Oh, you guys are toast."

"What's this I hear about toast?" the biker said as he approached me. His voice didn't sound like Timmy's, but I figured he was putting on a voice.

"Timmy, dude, you're gonna get me out, right?"

"Timmy?" he said. He laughed, then slapped me. "That little jerk Tim Tim ain't half as cool as me."

Crocker then said "That's Gary, Turner's imaginary friend that he wished into existence."

"Gary, where's the girl?" Dark Laser said.

"I almost had her. But Tim Tim got in the way and I got punched." Gary said.

"Did he punch you in the face?" Crocker said.

"No, he didn't punch me. Kim did." Gary said.

"Who's Kim?" I said.

"That's my sister Tootie." Vicky said.

"Her name isn't Tootie?" I said.

"That's usually people's first response." she said.

"Okay, everyone get inside. I need to talk to Neutron alone." Crocker said.

"Fine, let's go." she said. Everybody but Crocker then went in the house. Crocker got closer to me.

He said "Listen to me very carefully. Because I'm not going to repeat myself. Your friends won't be able to save you, no matter how hard they try."

"What makes you so sure?" I said.

"Simple, this place is guarded by several of Professor Calamitous's robots, who are expert sharpshooters. So, if your friends try to attack, they'll be shot to pieces." he said. I was too stunned to even say anything. He honestly thought a bunch of Calamitous's robots were going to stop my friends. Calamitous may have been able to finish sentences now, that didn't mean he could create an AI capable of even a basic task. Granted, he did kidnap me, so I guess finishing an AI was possible too.

Crocker, noticing my silence, said "Since you're so speechless, here's how things are gonna go now. You are our prisoner, and there's no escape." He then turned to the garage door and said "Calami-Bots, activate." He then closed the garage door with a remote, as an army of robots formed in front of the closing door. He turned back to me and said "Follow me." I then followed him into the house, not knowing where I was going.
