One In The Chamber

Normal {My Life As A Teenage Robot/The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius}

Jenny Wakeman walked beside her best friend, Brad Carbunkle, on their way to school. Jenny loved going to Tremorton High School, as it gave her some sense of freedom and even a bit of normalcy, but she still always noticed how not normal she was. Especially when new students came to the school, and freaked out the minute they saw the 6' 6" robot. But Jenny had gotten used to that. She had Brad and Sheldon and little Tuck, but she still sometimes wished she had a female friend. She had confided some of these wishes in Brad, but being a guy, he didn't always understand, but he was always willing to listen. She appreciated that. Finally the pair crossed the threshold into the high school, and the first person to meet them was Sheldon. The two boys hadn't gotten along at first, but eventually since Jenny was friends with the both of them, they grew to understand each other.

"Hey, Jenny, I was gonna show you after school, but look at this invention I made! I've been working on it for weeks, and I just got really excited to show you!" Sheldon exclaimed, bringing the small device out of his pocket, before fumbling and dropping it. It didn't break, but Jenny's keen eye saw a small crack in the exterior. She went to tell Sheldon this, but before she could, he activated the device. A shrill noise hit Jenny's auditory system, then a red light consumed her vision, and then everything went dark.

Jenny slowly woke to find that everything around her was different. She definitely didn't recognize anything that was around her. Where did Sheldon's device send her? Was that even it's intended purpose? Either way, she had to contact her mother pronto. But when she tried to contact anyone from back home, she was met with static and lost connections. She'd have to do this on her own. She looked around, and noticed she was in a park of some sort. She slowly got up, and just as she had dusted herself of, she heard a gasp and two sighs. She looked over to see two light-skinned, blonde girls and one dark-haired, dark-skinned girl. One of the blonde girls looked shocked and scared at the sight of her, while the other two girls just looked bored.

"Neutron really needs to stop leaving his inventions lying around. Imagine if Ultra-Nerd caught sight of this one," one of the blonde girls said, and the dark-haired girl nodded her agreement.

"Can you three tell me where I am? I don't recognize this place," Jenny asked, and the blonde girl in a green top tilted her head.

"If you don't know where you are, then are you not one of Neutron's inventions? Where did you come from?"

"Tremorton."

"I've never heard of a town named Tremorton," the dark-haired girl said.

"Neither have I. Do you have a name?"

"Jenny. Jenny Wakeman," Jenny answered, and the three girls introduced themselves. The two blonde girls were Cindy and Brittany, and the third girl was Libby.

"Well, Jenny, whatever the problem is, I'm sure that our resident genius, Jimmy Neutron, can help. Welcome to Retroville," Brittany said, and Cindy didn't seem pleased at the prospect of taking her to see this Jimmy Neutron, but she agreed anyway. The three asked her all sorts of questions on the way to wherever they were going, questions that Jenny was all too happy to answer. She was happy that the girls weren't looking at her with fear, but with curiosity. They just wanted to learn more about the stranger they found in the park. But eventually Jenny became curious, and wondered why they hadn't completely freaked out when they saw her in the park. She asked the three girls, and they just laughed.

"Believe me, Jenny, a robot in the park isn't the weirdest thing we've ever seen. We've dealt with 50-foot teachers, Ultra Lord obsessed idiots with giant heads, attacking pants-" Cindy started, and Jenny started to laugh this time.
