fic ;; prompt: moonlight

Stranded within Retroville's own famous Retroland, two teenagers (one boy and one girl) sat upon the flat roof of one of Retroland's many snack shacks. A blanked was laid out and spread at the very center of the roof, with the bodies of aforementioned boy and girl holding it down (it was a tad windy). The girl had her pink backpack to her left, from which she had procured a rather wooly blanket that not only covered her comfortably, but it covered her male companion as well.

Cindy Vortex and Jimmy Neutron were celebrating their fourth anniversary since they had paired together at the volatile, impish age of eleven. It had been four days ago that Jimmy had introduced the Retroland locale for the famous date, and though Cindy would have preferred someplace fancy and romantic, she settled for putting upmost faith in her boyfriend to deliver the anniversary that she placed so high in her daydreams.

This will be good, she told herself, settling down next to Jimmy on the blanket, themselves wrapped in another blanket. Jimmy's dog, Goddard was curled up at the end of the blanket, rebooting for when he would wake once more. His close presence acted as a heater to warm their cold toes.

Impatient, Cindy turned her head to her companion. "What is the surprise?"

A chuckle. "If I told you then that would defeat the purpose of my hard work and planning." Jimmy's chocolate brown eyes were warm and held their boyish charm. Cindy's checks heated, but she remained stern. Jimmy rolled his eyes. "Just keep watching the sky, Vortex." he then turned back to observe the stars like twinkle lights lighting up the blue satin of the night sky.

Cindy huffed, about to bark a few choice words, when light fell upon her face and she looked up. Her eyes widened, and incredibility set her mouth in agape. "You messed with the weather again, didn't you?"

"A little."

"Wow. Remind me to never send Jimmy to a jail cell anytime soon." Libby, Sheen, and Carl watched in quiet incredibility as their very own Cindy Vortex threw enemy after enemy after enemy over the arched wall behind them. At ten bad guys knocked unconscious, Cindy wasn't even breaking a sweat. She still looked like she could continue flinging obstacles until dusk--and that was judgement by her incredibly spiteful, angry, and malevolent expression alone.

Cindy smacked back a charged fist of one attacker and kicked him with the force and fury of a woman scorned (though in expression only). The wave of enemy guards started to lag, and she took this chance to offer her opponents a way out. "First moron who tells me where Dr. Dorkiac is holding my boyfriend gets less of a beating than the rest! Any takers?"

The wave started to speed up and Cindy sighed, before charging the enemy, and starting another domino effect of beatings.

"Remember, you brought this on yourselves by associating yourself with the freak who made an enemy out of Cindy Vortex!"

"I...don't know what to say."

"It's just a tightly compact form of plastic shaped in the form of costumery. I don't see why you're so aghast."

He said that, but the little flushes on his cheek in the most delectable of red tints told Cindy that her boyfriend thought otherwise. Cindy mused to herself, turning the plastic jewelry between two fingers, eyeing it curiously. She was mentally weighing the facts that, while a toy found in a snack box, it was still a gesture made by James Isaac Neutron, and even if just a gesture that he attempted (and failed) to write off as happenstance, Cindy knew that the "compact form of plastic" meant something.

Jimmy wouldn't be acting flustered if it wasn't.

Deciding to be benevolent upon the Teenage Genius's thoughtfulness, Cindy slips the costume jewelry on her left ring finger. She then holds her ring-wearing hand up to the dim, badly-needing-rewiring florescent lights of Jimmy's lab, and wryly smiles when light makes the shiny plastic wink.

"Whatever you say, Nerdtron."
