Well, they can't make you pay for something that doesn't exist. Chances are they will find it. I am assuming you had your copy? If you had your copy, they might just make you pay it, but really, I think they will dismiss it.
Answer I'm a police officer in California and there have been times where I've misplaced completed citations or have had a change of heart and decided to void out the citation. These events could have happened also. So if the court has no record of it, then you're pretty much off the hook.

Then why did you add it to the Traffic Violation and Ticket category? If it is not a traffic violation then it is most likely a minor misdemeanor offense. A misdemeanor is a crime, therefore, it WILL show up on your adult criminal record.

What does the box that is checked that says Accordingly this action is dismissed for lack of prosecution on a notice of lack of prosecution mean?
If the box "Accordingly this action is dismissed for lack of prosecution" is checked on a notice of lack of prosecution, it means that the case is being dismissed because there has been no progress or activity in the case for a certain period of time. This typically occurs when the parties involved fail to move the case forward or take necessary actions within a specified timeframe.
What if both parties fail to show for a civil hearing?
Ordinarily, the case will be dismissed. The onus is upon the Plaintiff to move the case along and meet a burden of proof. If he/she/it does not appear, that cannot be done. Likewise, if the Defendant does not appear, no defense to the action can be asserted. Therefore, the case will be dismissed.
