Disclaimer: I don't own JN and never will. It will be rated T for some intense scene later on and some cursing. Also, Lady Sings the News did not happen. The story would flow better and be a bit more exciting if J/C had their first kiss in the story.

A bright cloudless sky shined over the small rural city of Retroville. It should bring joy to it's residents but not for all it seems. A blonde high school girl stood by her locker, a look of annoyance marred her face.

"I swear if Tyler thinks of talking to me again I will smack him!" she fumed. Her best friend, standing next to her, raised an eyebrow.

"That's what you said last time Cindy." Libby Folfax grabbed her backpack and gently led Cindy Vortex by her arm to their class.

"But this time I mean it. I don't understand, he keeps asking me out and I decline each time but he still insists. Really, do I need to rent out a billboard or something? She sat dejected at her desk. She was glad he didn't have this class with her.

"You should do something about it. Or at least inform a teacher." Libby said softly.

"He hasn't done anything for me to inform the authorities. He's just really persistent. But I may have to think of something." She took out a small notepad and started writing.

Libby shut her mouth when she saw the notepad. Over the years, Cindy developed a way to deter her anger or annoyance- writing. It seemed to relax her and anyone who know her understands to not bother her.

"Hey Libby, Cindy-"Carl Wheezer stopped and gave a knowing look "She's angry, huh?" He sat to Libby's left.

"More like seriously annoyed," Libby then whispered, "Tyler asked her out again."

"Again, doesn't he give up?" Carl looked over at Cindy. She was still writing.

"Doesn't look like it. I've told her to do something but she doesn't seem to listen." Libby sighed.

"I do listen. I just don't have much to make a case, other than him being annoying and giving off a creepy feeling."

"That creepy feeling should count for something" Libby insisted. The teacher walked into the room.

"I just can't go with that feeling alone. It sucks, I know."

The teacher cleared her throat and the trio turned their attention. Class had begun.

Later that day, Cindy sat in the courtyard waiting for her friends. She managed to avoid Tyler by taking a different route to her 3rd period class. She won't be so lucky after lunch as she shares a class with him.

"So I hear that Tyler asked you out again." a shadow loomed over her.

"What's it to you Neutron?" Cindy shot back. Jimmy Neutron stood behind her. He had changed a lot over the years. He was no longer the shortest in the class but stood at a reasonable 6'0. With some convincing, he gave up the swirl ice cream looking hairstyle. He and Cindy also put a truce and became friends. They still throw digs at each other but more in a friendly manner than mean.

"Nothing. But you know Vortex, maybe if you agree, he would stop."

Cindy scoffed "Yeah right. It would probably make it worse." She smiled as Libby settled next to her.

"What took you so long?"

Libby shook her head "Sheen. He found something "suspicious" in his plate and went crazy on the lunch lady."

Cindy and Jimmy looked around.

"So where is he?" Jimmy bit into his tamale.

"Security guard took him away when he went hysterical. It was so embarrassing!" Libby lowered her when other students passed by and pointed.

"Hey, why don't you mind your damn business!" Cindy shouted at them before they scurried off. Libby smiled in gratitude. Carl arrived then, a finger in his ear.

"Wow, Sheen can really scream. I think my ear drum blew!"

The others laughed and quickly launch into what have been Sheen's most crazy antics.

"Seriously Libby, how can you deal dating someone like that?" Cindy asked.

Libby shrugged "When you truly love someone, sometimes you have to put aside their eccentricities. He's not a creep or anything thankfully."

Jimmy smirked "Like that Tyler guy."

Cindy groaned "Not this again."

"He has a point Cindy, it's getting into major creepy zone."

"Look, like I said, I can handle it."

"Please do and soon. I don't want it to escalate into something worse. It really isn't out of the realm of possibility. Just don't want you to get hurt," Libby placed a hand on Cindy's shoulder "I know you don't like being told how to handle it but we are concern."

Cindy sighed and looked down at her empty plate.

"I know that and am grateful but I will see to it. I just need some way to get him off my back."

The bell rang and they started for their afternoon classes. Jimmy and Carl headed towards the front of the school while Libby went straight to the office. Cindy stood in the middle of the hallway, trying to formulate some kind of plan. Her next class is with Tyler and she doesn't think that she can stand his insistency.

"Today is not going to be a good day." she trudged along to class.

While sitting on her bed, a laptop perched on her lap, Cindy surfed the web. Unbeknownst to others, including Libby, she had a secret hobby: celebrity gossip. She loved to go through sites with all the lasted news in the world of Hollywood. It wasn't anything serious, just a bit of fun.

On this night, Cindy was catching up on the couples news when several comments caught her eyes. It seems some people were speculating that a certain well known couple could be in a fake relationship. According to people, the actors both needed a boost in publicity.

"A fake romance?" Cindy thought aloud. Then like a flash, it hit her. Maybe to get Tyler to finally leave her alone was to "hook" up with someone. If she had a boyfriend then he will see no point in asking her out. She smiled as she shut off her computer but paused.

But who can she can convince to do this?

Cindy snuggled into her bed and contemplated. It had to be someone she knew and that people can totally see her dating.

"Someone will come to mind". Just as she fell asleep, the sound of a rocket landing pierced the quiet neighborhood.

Author's Note: Yes a new story from me. I would have posted this much earlier but a lot went on in my life and it also took a while to plan it out. I hope to update this fairly quickly. I don't know how long it will be at the moment but I have most of it planned out. Of course it can change over time.

Please read and review!
