Cebônica

Cebônica is the het ship between Monica and Jimmy Five from the Monica and Friends fandom.

Monica and Friends
Monica and Jimmy Five's relationship is the main one in the whole series. Since childhood they always fought, because Jimmy Five wanted to steal Monica's stuffed bunny, thinking that this way he would become the owner of the Lemon Tree Street.

However, every time Jimmy Five tries one of his "infallible plans", the plan proofs fool and he ends up being beaten by Monica. Despite Jimmy Five's teasing towards Monica, she often demonstrates that Jimmy Five is a very dear friend of hers. So much so that she would and she did enter in a tigra's cage just to save him.

In many stories Jimmy Five and Monica show to be friends, without fighting, like when Maggy has a watermelon stuck in her mouth and Monica goes straight to call Jimmy Five to help her.

Monica Adventures


In Monica Adventures, however, they both stop fighting each other, with Jimmy Five finally giving up on stealing Monica's stuffed bunny. They have new plans now, their feelings by each other start to surface, both by chance and by the influence of friends, making Jimmy Five nervous and swapping "Rs" for "Ws".

They give their first kiss in Monica Adventures #4. In Monica Adventures #29 Nick Nope tries to win over Monica to prove that a new fad on Lemon Tree Street was a conspiracy, which makes Jimmy Five jealous. Jimmy Five tries to explain to Nick Nope that he would never date Monica because of Nick Nope's stubbornness of always wanting to be different from others. Nick Nope doesn't care, and at the end of the edition, he proves he was right and Monica will apologize to Jimmy Five and ask him to date, but he doesn't accept.

However, thousands of attempts by other boys to set up a date with Monica at Monica Adventures #34 cause Jimmy Five to ask her out. But they break up at the same edition because Jimmy Five discovers that everything was just a test of Monica.

Jimmy Five tries to resume with Monica in the following editions, without success. However we already know they're gonna marry and have kids in future.

"Ever since you broke up with me, I had a lot of time to think about everything I had done. That's why I made decisions! No more disguises, no more plans. No more wanting to 'defeat Monica'! I know that after all my screw-ups, you don't want to know about me anymore. But I have to be honest. I have to say: I love you! I have always loved you! You will always be the most important person in my life!"

- Jimmy Five, 1x73, 'Android Hunters'

"The Monica I love can be hot-headed... but she's never violent if it's still possible to talk. The Monica I love can be jealous... but never to the point of putting a person in danger... The Monica I love... This Monica... She knows everyone has the right to live! Rights to have justice, liberty, freedom, be it a robot or a human!"

- Jimmy Five, 1x73, 'Android Hunters'

"Nick Nope can't think in a normal way. I never thought I'd say that but... I wish Jimmy were here. He would be able to think of a decent plan."

- Monica, 1x81, 'Macabre Circus

Fanon
Cebônica is definitely the most famous ship in Monica and Friends fandom and even out of it because of the franchise's popularity. A lot of people who don't even know what shipping is cheer for this couple and even think they're already together in many editions. The main comic series has more than 50 years of Monica and Jimmy Five's relationship, grabbing fans from all ages to read their media and watch their love story develop. This couple is always mentioned when talking about ships in Brazilian comics or just Brazilian ships that are really famous. Cebonica is the type of ship that everyone universally likes because their dynamic and their media is basically everywhere in Brazil.

This ship's biggest rival is Docônica, since Monica has already dated Nick Nope in Monica Adventures and she was really happy with him. Cebonica is considered slightly toxic in the first series, what brings the popularity of the ship down overall. Still, most people prefer to focus on how they evolved as a couple and are now a really healthy couple in the third series.
