This is it. That's right! The end is here! Short, I know. Thanks for the replies.

Don't Change for Me

This wasn't the Jimmy she fell in love with. This Jimmy didn't compete with her in anyway and was way too polite for a fifteen-year old boy. This Jimmy did nothing but smile all the time, he showed no other emotion. But she did have to admit, this Jimmy did finally give her the attention she wanted for years. But it wasn't the same. He was always watching her, complementing her, and being too romantic.

She wanted the old Jimmy back, the one that made her blood boil, the one who made her special when he did show any affection, the one that was different from any other boy she had ever met. But most importantly, this Jimmy wasn't a show off. That's what she liked the best about him, he just had to show everyone that he was unlike anyone else, and proud of it. She liked the confident boy, the genius, not the lovey dovey boy who thought about nothing else but romance. She wanted Jimmy Neutron, not this boy.

"What did you do?" she blurted out, putting a more serious look on her face as she turned to face him.

"What do you mean, my dear?" he asked, his tone too soft and kind.

"You told me you would tell me why the change. What happened? Why are you acting like this?" she asked, her eyes glazing over in frustration. His passionate smile melted into a sad one as he gazed into her emerald eyes. He had been trying to think of the best way to tell her what he did to himself all day, but because of the Modifier he could think of nothing but romance, so he did what his romantic self would do.

Carefully he slipped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. He gazed into her pleading eyes for a moment before he crashed his lips onto hers. She was already too confused to even be shocked and shut her eyes, deepening the kiss. Only after a few seconds, she reluctantly pulled away and looked into his intense blue eyes, trying to find an answer. She tried to ignore the surge of happiness inside her, but gave in and threw her arms around his neck in a loving embrace.

"I love you, that's why," he whispered in her ear. She couldn't breathe. "I did this for you," he told her, his eyes also slightly glazing over.

"What did you do? Tell me," she ordered. She needed to know, she needed her Jimmy.

"I..." he started, his indulgent voice cracking, "I changed my personality," he said as she leaned back to look into his eyes, silently asking for him to explain, "My latest invention can change your personality on a subatomic level so you act a certain way, all the time," he told her, turning his gaze to the floor of his hover car in agony of an aching heart for his actions. "I set it onto romantic. I wanted you to like me," he whispered, letting his regretful tears escape.

"Jimmy," she whispered, placing her hand under his chin and bringing his gaze back to her. "I want you to know that you don't have to change for me to like you," she told him, a grin pulling at the corners of her lips.

"I don't?" he asked, wiping his wet face with the back of his hand.

"No, you don't because I love you too. I love Jimmy Neutron, not this hopeless romantic," she replied, smirking at the young genius, "And you better fix yourself or I might change my mind," she threatened and crossed her arms across her chest. He returned her smile and gave her a chaste kiss before he started up the hover car. He flew as fast as he could home and quickly drug Cindy down into his lab. He stepped into the Modifier and as soon as the door closed, Cindy flicked the switch and watched as the machine glowed and Jimmy Neutron returned to the big headed boy of Retroville.

"Jimmy?" she quietly called, peering into the fog rolling out once the door lowered to the ground.

"Vortex, why are you in my lab?" the swirly haired genius asked as he walked out of his invention, his hands on his hips.

"I, uh...you," she uttered, stumbling over her words as she looked around the lab, her index finger on her chin and her brain trying to think of a reason. The brunette laughed to himself as he turned off the big machine.

"Calm down, I remember everything," Jimmy stated as he walked over to her, "I just didn't have control of my actions, that's all," he reassured her and gave her an ensuring grin.

"Oh," she replied, thinking for a moment, "Um, did you mean what you said?" she vaguely asked, casting her gaze to the floor and placing her hands behind her back.

"Yeah, I really did change my personality," he dimly responded, not sure of what she was asking.

"No, I mean about why you changed yourself," she verified, looking back up to meet his gaze and see his reaction.

"Oh, well," he started, smiling sheepishly, "Only if you meant what you said," he remarked with a slight pink covering his round cheeks. Her face brightened once she comprehended what he meant, a huge grin crossing her face as she nearly suffocated him in an immense hug. He softly laughed at the irony over the years, causing her to giggle from his light breath on the back of her neck.

"I'll take you home," he requested as he pulled away and with ample smiles on their faces, he took her hand and led her to the hover car.

The Next Day

"Hey, Jim" piped the cheerful Carl as he met his best friends at the Candy Bar.

"Hey, Carl," greeted the young genius as he scooted closed to the blond beside him to make room for his round friend.

"So, the whole personality change didn't work out, huh?" questioned the redhead as Sam brought the gang their usual.

"Actually, Carl, it worked out pretty well," Jimmy replied, getting looks from the dark-skinned girl beside Cindy and the hyper Ultralord fan next to Libby at the end of the booth.

"It did?" Carl, Sheen, and Libby exclaimed in unison.

"Yep, it taught me that I don't need to change to get the girl," the boy genius replied, turning his gaze to Cindy and lacing his fingers with hers under the table. Her cheeks went ablaze in a crimson red as he gently kissed her warm cheek.

"Awe," Cooed the three friends, making Jimmy blush as well. And if anything was learned from this experience, it was that you should be loved for whom you are.

And they all lived happily ever after... As if!

Hey, what do you know? I kinda liked writing that. Though, it was short. Think what you want and please post your thoughts. Thanks.

A/N: I have two fanfics in progress (they are listed on my profile after Falling) and will be finished soon, but I'm sure something else small will come to me between now and the time I post the first chapter of one of them in a week or two.
