Don't Change for Me
It was another spring afternoon where, of course, you would find Retroville's own boy genius and his two non-genius friends in his underground lab.
"Done," exclaimed the boy genius as he stepped back to revealed his latest invention. The plump redhead and lean brunette just stared at the huge oven looking device, completely covered in red, blue and green lights, buttons, and switches.
"Uh, Jim, what is it?" asked the llama loving boy.
"Yeah, what he said," replied the jumpy Mexican. The short boy dressed in a light-blue lab coat just smiled at his best friends.
"I would be glad to explain," the big headed boy answered as he gestured to his big machine, "I call it the Personality Modifier. It changes your personality on a subatomic level so you act a certain way all the time," the genius told them as he pressed a few buttons and flipped on a few switches. "I'm going to change my personality so I can get C... I mean, a girl I like to like me back," he explained to the two boys standing behind him.
"How come, Jim? I'm pretty sure Cindy already likes you," inquired the redhead.
"I knew it! Cindy likes Jimmy!" shouted Sheen as he pumped his fists in the air and ran around in circles until he ran into Jimmy's big computer chair. "Uff," uttered the hyper boy as he fell to the cold floor. Jimmy just rolled his eyes.
"I'm not so sure, Carl. She doesn't act like it," remarked the confused boy genius. "Wait a second. Who said the girl was Cindy?" demanded Jimmy, spinning around to face the two boys. Carl placed a hand on his round hip and gave the love struck genius a knowing glare, his lips turned up in a discriminating smirk.
"Is it that obvious?" requested Jimmy, his shoulder slumping in disappointment. Carl nodded in response as Sheen unsteadily got to his feet and also nodded to the boy genius. "Well, since you guys already know, you can help me. I just need you to activate the Modifier after I get in." Jimmy told them as he took off his lab coat and handed it to Carl.
"Yes! What buttons do I get to press!" exclaimed Sheen, running over to the control panel and quickly scanning over all the little switches.
"Hold the phone, Jim. What are you gonna change your personality to?" asked Carl.
"Simple," replied the genius, like it was no big deal, "I overheard Cindy talking to Libby about how she loves romantic guys. So, I'm gonna set it to romantic," Jimmy uttered more to himself than Carl as he pressed a button and watched the door to the invention slowly fall to the floor. "Just flip that red switch after the door closes," ordered the genius as he stepped inside the large machine. When the door sealed close, Sheen dramatically flipped the big red switch Jimmy pointed to and slowly the invention powered up.
Carl and Sheen gasped in unison as the lights surrounding Jimmy's invention brightened and the interior of the modifier filled with smoke, concealing Jimmy from view. After a few seconds, the device flashed and temporarily blinded to two boys. Then ever so slowly, the door lowered and the smoke dissipated. The boys blinked as the big headed brunette stepped out.

"Hey, Libs" greeted the slender blond as she opened her locker.
"Hey, girl. How fun was the mall yesterday," remarked the slim dark-haired teenager, walking up to her best friend and dropping her pack onto the floor in front of her locker, which was next to the blond's. Cindy giggled remembering her shopping spree with her best friend the day before and grabbed a few books out of her locker for her first class.
"It was..." started the blond, but stopped in mid sentence when the front doors to the Retroville High flew open. In strolled the one and only Jimmy Neutron and his best friends, Sheen and Carl, on either side of him. Cindy's books dropped to the floor as she gazed wide-eyed at the boy genius. "...so fine," she finished as she watched him travel towards her. He walked gracefully down the hallway, his eyes locked on the blond beauty. Libby stared at her friend for a moment before spinning around and gasping in disbelief. Girls standing along the side of the hallway gasped and boys stared in utter shock at the kid sauntering down the middle of the hall. Cindy stared, her mouth slightly agape, at the young bright blued eyed man dressed in a black t-shirt with a white atom symbol in the center and baggy blue jeans and clean white shoes almost completely covered by his pants. His chestnut hair was slicked back into the style he wore for her on valentines' day. She couldn't take her eyes off him as walked up to her.
"Hello," he greeted, his tone soft and smooth. Her heart skipped a beat when his lips curled into a heart melting smile. "For you," he said as he pulled out a rose and held it before her. "Only someone as beautiful as you deserves such a lovely flower," he remarked, the sound of his voice completely erasing her train of thought. She absently minded took the de-thorned white rose and stared at it for a moment.
"Is this a joke?" she asked, bringing her gaze back to his deep blue eyes.
"No, you're truly beautiful," he told her, gently taking her hand and kissing it, but not breaking eye contact. She could feel her cheeks go up in flames as he drew himself back. But it couldn't last forever as the bell rang, signaling students it was only a few minutes until time for class. Cindy laughed nervously as she pulled her tingling hand from his grip and bent down to get her books. "I'll get them," he said, picking up her books.
"I can get them myself, Neutron," she retorted, fetching a book from his hand.
"I know you can, but I want to take them," he replied, never losing his loving smile. While she gazed at him in slight shock, he quickly took her books and slipped them under his arm.
"Why?" was all she could utter, "Why are you acting like this?" she asked, tilting her head slightly.
"I'll tell you later, maybe tonight? Around eight?" he slyly questioned, taking her hand in his empty one. She was speechless. A date? Her mind could barely comprehend his words, so her heart spoke for her.
"Yes," she whispered as he began leading her to home room.
