Book of One Shots

Facing the Darkness, JN & FOP

Jimmy Neutron was the smartest person in Retroville. He was well known as a young Einstein. And while he was the hero of his hometown, sometimes he had to be knocked down a peg or two to fully realize that using his brain all of the time was going to eventually bite him in the butt. It did too, multiple times. But he was always able to get himself out of trouble with the help of his friends. Now that he was dating Cindy Vortex, he realized the same thing was could've said about Timmy Turner. The kid from another dimension completely. While he wasn't as smart as Jimmy, he was very cunning.

He often used his fairy computer programs to help him out of any situation. But Jimmy knew that Turner was smarter than he was leading on. Jimmy could never shake that feeling either. Jimmy always sensed, in some odd way, that Turner knew how to handle the situation before he did. It baffled the young genius. Turner wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer but he had a heart of gold. Jimmy felt awfully protective of the younger boy, he didn't feel annoyed like he did with Brobot. He figured that he accepted Turner as his brother figure. Jimmy shook his head. No, there was no way he accept Timmy that quickly. Did he?

Suddenly, a white portal captured his attention. Jimmy jumped to the side and to his utter surprise, Turner came out of the porthole with some sort of squid? It flipped him out for a moment but Turner was quick on his feet. He didn't seem to have notice the genius, nor the fact that he was in Retroville. In fact, he seemed more panicked than anything else. The squid seemed to be in the same state, not even noticing the difference either. It just freaked Jimmy out when the squid started to talk.

"Cool, we're wall vomit!" He cheered, a bit too happily. He turned to Timmy and asked, "Now what's going on, bro?!"

Before Timmy could answer, Jimmy cleared his throat. Timmy turned, seeing Jimmy.

"Neutron?" Timmy asked, surprised.

"Welcome back to Retroville, Turner." Jimmy stated, trying his hardest not to smile.

Timmy raised an eyebrow and noticed he was in his 3D form. The squid was also in a 3D form, which seemed to have pleased him.

"Awesome! We're interdimensional!" He gushed.

"Mark! This isn't a good thing!" Timmy hissed a bit. "We need to get back to Dimmsdale!"

"Mark?" Jimmy questioned.

Mark Chang went over to Jimmy and replied, "Cha! I'm from Yugopotamia, the most fear race in the Barf Galaxy!"

Jimmy's interest was perked as he questioned, "A Yugopotamian? They are a rare sight here in Retroville."

"Ha ha, that's because we only live in the best galaxy in the universe!" Mark gloated.

Timmy rolled his eyes to this and introduced, "Jimmy Neutron, Mark Chang. Mark Chang, Jimmy Neutron. There, you are introduced."

Jimmy turned to Timmy as he asked, "Not that I'm not happy to see you Turner but why are you back here again?" That's when he noticed something. Timmy was still underweight like he was when they first met. He felt his blood boiling a bit. The Turners were still being jerks to their only son? Why?! Pushing down those feelings quickly, he decided to ask the obvious. "Turner... where are Cosmo and Wanda?"

That's when Timmy's face fell and explained, "Cosmo and Wanda have been taken! There is the thing called the Darkness. And it is after me, since I'm the Chosen One!"

Jimmy repeated a bit applauded, "You? The Chosen One?"

Sure Timmy was a good leader and knew how to rally troops but him? Chosen One? That didn't seem correct to the young genius but Timmy nodded anyways.
