Cartoon Network City: chapter 1

There was a moving van now entering Cartoon Network City. It was moving up to a pleasant looking house with a sold sign in the front yard and the family was coming out. It was two adults, a mother and father, and their daughter came out with them. The girl had a black hooded sweatshirt with blue long pants, with light brown skin and darker brown hair and wore black eye glasses. She was very nervous about being here in a city and this neighborhood. Her parents told her they were going to unpack and it might be best if she would go out and try to make some friends.

The young girl did as told as she stepped outside her new house and looked around her new neighborhood. It looked like it had bizarre characters so far. More in specific, there was a girl who looked older than her in teenage years. This girl had long black hair that went down to her spine and had red streaks in it with high ponytails, green eyes, pierced ears, and a red sleeveless top with tan shorts, finger-less gloves, black ankle length boots, also a tattoo with a flaming skull on her left arm. The girl looked a little nervous about this teenage girl as she was burning an ant hill with a magnifying glass, she then looked to see she wasn't alone as the girl was on her way back inside the house.

The older girl decided to go up to this one girl. "Just who the heck are you?" she asked, she knew this girl wasn't originally from her. "What's your name, girly?"

The younger girl looked a little nervous about this girl, she looked like she could hurt her somehow. "Umm... Cindy..." she gave her name as she looked a bit nervous.

The teenager chuckled. "Where you from, Cindy?"

"I used to live in a place called Gumboot... 20 hours that way..." Cindy pointed in the other direction as she was in her new home. She then wondered why this teen girl was with her. "Um, are we neighbors?"

The teen rolled her eyes. "Duh. I'm Abby Nelson, and there's a couple of rules you need to follow by. First, you do not hang out with the cul-de-sac kids."

"Uhh... Okay..." Cindy shrugged. She wasn't sure who these cul-de-sac kids were, but she paid attention to Abby's warning.

There came a beautiful woman who seemed to look like Abby, only she had short blonde hair with white earrings, light blue eyes, a white necklace, a red sweater with blue short jeans and red slip-on shoes leaving the house next door as it blared very loud rock and roll music.

"And this is my mom, Kendra." Abby introduced the woman.

"Oh, hello." Kendra smiled.

"Uh... Hi..." Cindy blinked. "Mrs. Nelson..."

"Oh, honey, you can call me Kendra when my husband's not around," the woman chuckled. "You must be new around here, I've never seen anyone like you around here before."

Abby looked to see a different teenager close to her in age, but seemed to resemble her in some way. He had black hair with a spiky green Mohawk, blue eyes, had piercings among his face, a black shirt with a skull on it with light yellow sleeves, green cargo shorts, and red and white dirty boot-like shoes. "And this is my older brother, Duncan," she introduced. "Yo, Duncan! This is Cindy."

Duncan had a cat in his arms for some reason with a shave razor.

"Duncan, you better not be using that thing in your father's bathroom." Kendra looked strictly to her son.

"No, Mom..." Duncan promised, he and Abby loved her more than their father.

"Well, okay." Kendra smiled then, she didn't seem to mind her juvenile children's pranks, despite being a woman of high class like her husband was in high class as well.

Duncan looked down. "Cool, a midget."

"I'm not a midget, I'm 10-years-old." Cindy didn't like that she was called that due to her height.

"Duncan, I think we should give her a tour, don't you think since she's our neighbor?" Abby suggested, giving an evil smirk.

"Sure," Duncan dropped the poor cat and razor. "Come on, kid."

"I think my mom wants me to unpack..." Cindy stepped back.

"Come on, it'll be good for ya." Duncan took her hand to take her onto the streets of the new city.

"Welcome to Cartoon Network City!" Abby yelled with joy as she went with the new neighbor and her brother. "And let me say, it's totally great! And we have werewolves!" she laughed wickedly then.

Duncan nudged her.

"Werewolves?" Cindy blinked.

"Ignore her," Duncan said with a smile to her, then glanced to his sister. "Dude, what the heck!?"

"What?!" Abby gawked at him.

"Don't tell her yet..." Duncan said to her quietly, though smirked. "She just got here."

Cindy looked at the sights as Dexter's older ballerina sister Dee Dee was in a dance studio, learning new basics, the Powerpuff Girls were having a race with each other in the streets to see who was faster than the local bus, and saw Billy digging up his yard to make a hole as Grim and Mandy waited until it was deep enough.

"Say, Cindy, are you hungry?" Abby asked. "We're going to Pop's Diner to meet with a couple of friends."

"Uh, okay," Cindy smiled a little. "Travel always makes me hungry."

"We'll take you there." Duncan said to her, going with his sister to take the new girl in town to Pop's, the most beloved diner in all of Cartoon Network City, especially to one Johnny Bravo.

"Oh, yeah, if you see a person that looks like a dude, it's a girl." Abby said then.

"Uhh..." Cindy wasn't sure how to respond to that.

"You'll see." Duncan said to her as they kept taking her to the diner.

Abby got in and saw their friends Ashlyn, Brianna, the Eds, Jo and Justine. "Wow, Jo, I didn't know you took our favorite beauty on a date."

Jo looked back, glancing to Abby. "Oh, did they let you out of prison early?" she joked about Duncan and Abby's reputation as juvenile delinquents.

Abby let out a forced laugh. "Haha, very funny, Elliot, anyway, this is Cindy," she showed the new girl to them, then gestured to their friends. "Cindy, this is Ashlyn Pitstop..."

There was a girl who seemed to be like a punk, she had black hair with blonde highlights, brown eyes, an orange top with jean shorts, a black jacket, brown shoes, a low ponytail with her ears and her nose pierced.

"Brianna Smith..." Abby gestured to the next girl.

This girl had green eyes with long brown hair down over her shoulders with rainbow highlights in her hair, an orange bandanna, a black short-sleeved shirt with a blue vest, red skirt, and black boots.

"Justine Reid..." Abby gestured to the next girl.

This girl had light tanned skin with ocean blue eyes, long black hair in a low braid, earrings, a purple heart-shaped necklace, a white short-sleeved top, a black miniskirt, silver flats, and a purple headband.

"Eddy Sampson." Abby showed one of the boys, starting with the shorter one.

This boy had pink skin with three black hairs in his head, a dark golden colored jacket with hints of purple and red stripes, blue jeans, and red sneakers.

"Edd Vincent, but we call him 'Double D'." Abby showed the thinner of the boys.

This boy had long black hair that nearly looked like a hat with white streaks in it, an orange shirt with white sleeves, purple pants, and blue shoes.

"Ed Hill..." Abby showed the last of the boys.

This boy appeared to have yellow skin with stubbly black hair, a green jacket with a red and white striped shirt, blue pants, and black shoes.

"And of course, Jo Elliot." Abby got to last of their friends.

Jo had dark blonde hair that looked sort of long, but still short, blue eyes, a coal black hooded sweatshirt, dull blue sweatpants, and green and white sneakers.

"HELLO!" Ed slightly yelled, making Cindy shake.

"Inside voice, please..." Cindy shook.

"Heh, she kinda makes me think of you." Jo smirked to Double D.

"Ed, heel!" Brianna tried to calm Ed down. "I got some buttered toast with gravy for ya."

Ed grinned and chuckled, though that sounded gross to Cindy.

"I feel like I've seen you somewhere before..." Cindy looked to Brianna. "I don't know where though..."

"I worked with Mystery Inc..." Brianna replied sadly.

"That must be it!" Cindy exclaimed. "Didn't you guys break up or something?"

"They did, Velma just decided to quit and so did everyone else, but Scooby stayed with Shaggy." Eddy explained.

"Oh, that must be horrible..." Cindy frowned. "I saw you guys on the news when you caught the Luna Ghost before you split up."

Brianna sighed. "Yes, they did, they were always like family to me..." she shed some tears.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Cindy looked scared. "Please don't cry..."

"It's okay, Brianna... It'll get better..." Justine soothed.

A boy with a green sweater, black shorts, white socks, black shoes, frizzy orange hair with a backwards red hat came in. "Well, well, if it the dorks and there's a new dork too," he laughed and went up to Justine. "Say, babe, wanna ditch the dorks to hang out with me?"

"Please go away..." Justine said frantically to the biker boy.

Jo growled. "Kevin, get out of here unless you want expensive surgery for YOUR spine to be pulled out of your butt."

The Eds took Cindy away, this would get serious.

"Guys, what's going on?" Cindy asked.

"Don't get involved." Eddy actually advised her.

Jo grabbed Kevin by his collar, glaring right into his eyes. "I asked nicely..." she then threw him across the wall, making him crash into a booth that a boy with freckles, very round glasses, a patch of dark ginger hair, wearing a blue shirt with black shorts, and red and white sneakers and a girl with longish orange red hair down with an olive green headband with a white shirt and green pants with black shoes named Otto Osworth and Little Suzy were sitting in with a milkshake to share with each other.

Kevin got up and growled. "You DORK!" he tackled Jo.

Jo growled, trying to wrestle Kevin down to get him out of their sight.

Cindy wasn't sure what else to do, but she frantically beat the bell on the front counter of the diner where the bar stools were. "Manager, someone, please!"

Pops walked over. "Can I help you, little lad--" he looked over and noticed the display. "GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!" he rushed to Jo and Kevin. "Come on, guys, break it up or take it outside!"

"Let's take this outside RIGHT NOW!" Kevin snarled.

"Guys, take care of the new kid, this won't take long." Jo nearly snarled as she went outside with Kevin.

"This is dangerous..." Cindy looked scared senseless.

"But, Jo!" Justine cried.

Kevin blew a kiss to Justine. "See ya when I get back, babe."

Justine shivered, worried about Jo and disgusted with Kevin.

"It's okay, she can take him down." Double D gently patted Justine on her back.

Cindy went to Little Suzy and Otto. "Are you guys okay?" she asked, knowing that Kevin landed near them when Jo beat him up.

"Yeah, we're okay, thanks." Otto said to her with a soft smile.

Outside, Kevin and Jo were now outside the diner, ready to take each other on.

"I know what you can do, She-Dork." Kevin taunted.

"Whatever, it just means I'm a lot stronger than you'd ever be, you couldn't even play football good enough to be the quarter back on the school team." Jo taunted.

"Well, at least I have parents who love me." Kevin retorted.

Jo deeply glowered at him. "You'll wish you hadn't said that."

"Or what, she-man?" Kevin growled before punching her in the stomach.

Jo had to admit, that was very uncomfortable, but she wasn't going to let him WIN. He should be lucky that she wouldn't kill him. But she got on her knees and had her iron fist out as she kicked him sharply between his legs, it was the natural weak spot of anyone who was born male, despite her believed to be one herself.

"Man!" Kevin screamed out in high-pitched voice.

Justine came out then. "Jo, are you okay? I heard screaming."

Jo grunted, but she was able to stand now, she put her arm around her shy beauty. "I'm fine... Can't say the same for Kevin here..." she gestured to the fallen bully of Cartoon Network City's school system.

A girl with short blonde hair, red lipstick, wearing a black short-sleeved undershirt with a white tank top on top of it with blue violet pants and black sneakers named Nazz von Bartonschmeer came by then. "What's going on?" she then screamed once she saw her boyfriend. "Kevin!" she looked sharply to Jo. "What did you do, dude?!"

"Aw, get outta here." Jo sneered to Nazz, she really didn't want to deal with this right now, she just went inside with Justine.
