Okay, I've got one word to say: INCREDIBLE. Your dedication never ceases to amaze me, and you have such an excellent writing style. I can't WAIT to read the next chapter. I wonder how this story will turn out for the end. Hmmm.

Keep up the AWESOME work, BekMc.WritingWoman!

[Beks]

Yah! You liked it! I saw that you were reading this, and I was like "She might be there awhile." :P

Since I'm feeling no inspiration at the moment for Letter's to Sweden, I'm thinking about making another chapter for this. Be prepared... :ph43r:

oh, and to how it's going to end, lets just say that the setting won't always be Retroville. ;)

In particular, I keep thinking about what I consider the climax of the story....ooo, I'm getting tingles just thinking about it :wub: ....but that'll be a long time coming. -_-

[CraazyOne]

But still...it's coming... :dance: Eventually. =(

Reguardless of how long it takes, Beks, your climax is gonna be EPIC!!! :rock: I look forward to reading it. ^_^

[Beks]

Hey, remember this? :P While I was bored one night, I suddenly had the inspiration for another chapter! Now I realize I haven't posted a new chapter since January, but I hope that this will keep you satisfied for a little bit, anyway. ^_^


Chapter 17: Runaway Rocketboy


"Look, she's waking up."

"Thank goodness!"

Cindy slowly opened her eyes to find her family and friends watching around her hospital bed. She saw a dark blur streak past, and suddenly Libby was by her side. Blinking in the bright light, Cindy looked at Libby and then did a quick head count around the room. Someone was missing.

"Where's Jimmy?" she asked, her eyes pleading to the people in the room. Mrs. Neutron piped up from the back, "I'll go get him." She rushed out the room. It was then that Cindy noticed that her right leg was propped in a cast at the end of the bed.

"I broke my leg?" she asked.

"Thank goodness that was all you broke," her mother commented, leaning closer to her husband.

"So, how are the others? What happened to Jimmy, Eustace, and Goddard?" Cindy asked.

"Goddard's fine, deary," Mrs. Wheezer assured her. "He's in Jimmy's room right now."

"And Eustace was discharged this morning," Libby added. "Apparently all he did was faint. As for Jimmy..."

Carl continued for her. "We found him lying near you when we got there. He was, um...holding your hand." He blushed nervously, averting his gaze. "B...but he's fine now. He just woke up a little while ago."

"The first thing he asked was if you were ok. We told him you had broken your leg. After that, he got pretty quiet. Just laid there, looking blankly at the wall..." Cindy's dad said.

"But he'll be thrilled to know you're awake," Libby finished.

"He held my hand?" Cindy thought. She blushed.

Suddenly, Jimmy's mom rushed into the room, followed by Goddard. Tears streamed from her eyes. "He's gone!" she cried.

"Gone?" Libby asked, astonished. "What do ya mean, 'gone'?"

"When I went in to get him," Jimmy's mom explained. "his bed was empty and poor Goddard was whimpering near the open window. He...he left a note." She pulled out a piece of paper and chokingly read from it: "Dear everyone...I have run...away in order to protect you from what I...have become. Please don't look for me... Signed, Jimmy." She crumpled the note and grabbed her husband, hugging him tightly as new tears poured down her face.

"My baby!" she cried.

Cindy lay dumbfounded on her bed, jaw hung open. Jimmy, running away? It was unheard of, unbelievable, and so unlike him. And yet, she couldn't blame his actions. She knew she'd want to stay away in case the transformation happened again. So, why did she feel so empty inside?

Jimmy's mom suppressed her wails long enough to hand her another note. "This one...is addressed to you." Cindy took it, staring bewildered at her name drawn carefully on the folded paper.

She waited until night to read it. Feigning sleep when a nurse walked by her door, she held the note tightly underneath her pillow. At last, she sat up, snapped on the bedside lamp, and cautiously unfolded the paper to reveal Jimmy's unmistakable, messy scrawl.

Dear Cindy,

When you read this note, I will probably be arriving at my destination. Where this destination is, I can't say, but please know that I can and will think of you everyday I am here. After I learned that I had broken you leg, I decided to give myself permanent exile, in order to protect you and others from another attack. As I said in the other note, please don't look for me.

I am leaving you Goddard, because I don't want to harm him either, and because I know you'll care for him. I'm also leaving you the small inventory of inventions I have left in my room. Tell the guys I'll miss them.

Love,

Jimmy

So many questions...Where is he? Why couldn't he make another antidote? And why...why did he sign his name in love?

In the morning, she woke to find Goddard snoozing at the end of her bed. "I am leaving you Goddard..." Was it true? Was Jimmy's first and greatest invention truly hers?

"Goddard?" she spoke softly. The mechanical dog stirred, looking up sleepily at her. He stood up, shook himself, and stepping gingerly around her broken leg, came to lay by her side, whimpering sadly.

"I know, Goddard. I miss him too," she said, stroking his cool, metal back. Suddenly, she heard a beeping sound coming from the watch that was still clamped to her wrist. Jimmy's watch...

She tapped it with her finger to see Commander Baker's face.

"Agent Neutron, I..." He stopped short when he noticed Cindy. "Oh...Miss Vortex? Well, this is unexpected. Why do you have Agent Neutron's wrist communicator?"

Cindy sighed sadly. "It's a long story, Commander."

[CraazyOne]

Ahhhhhhhhh!

How could Jimmy run away?!

How could you leave us with such an evil cliffhanger???????

And how could that chapter be any more awesome?! LOL.

Go Writer Woman! That was a great chapter (as usual). :dance:

Please write more soon!!!




~Rachel~

[jimmyxcindy]

Ahh! No! Cliffhanger! But that an amazing chapter, Beks! And I'm so glad you haven't forgotten about it. This was one of the first fanfics I ever read on fanfiction.net, so it's holds a special place in my heart. :D

Please write more as soon as you can! ^_^

[rumorgirl1983]

Thank you so much for the PM on this. :) I am so glad you've kept me on your alert list!

I can't believe he ran away. :( That's awful! I hope everyone's able to find him.

Nice work again, Writer Woman!
