A/N: It's my second fanniversary today, and I set myself a challenge. For each of my favourite fandoms, I wanted to write a drabble. But a drabble from a unique perspective, something no one carefully ever thought about. But because SRMTHFG is special to me (plus I've been writing in the fandom for TWO YEARS), I'm giving you all a two hundred word vignette. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Ghosts Among Memories
Destiny awaits. A green glow is thrown against the walls.
"It ends now, Skeleton King."
He is ripped apart, the reverse of his first transformation. The darkness peels away, dissipating into the air. He is thrown to one side, falling onto the ground. His knees go numb from pain, as if...
...he suddenly existed again.
A scream of agony. In his moment of triumph, Chiro is gripped with Skeleton King's dying claw. Black steam flows from him.
A flash of déjà-vu: In the laboratory- The portal, looking into the Netherworld- And screaming.
Still on his knees, he crawls to the fallen hero. The boy's clothes are ripped, armour cracked. His eyes are clear.
"Have we won?"
It's been years since his voice has been heard by anyone other than his warden. His words are filled with relief. "You have. Well done."
"Are you a ghost?"
He gives a remorseful sigh of breath. "Yes."
"Are you my dad?"
He knows the answer, and wishes fervently to say it aloud. But Chiro can read it from his face.
The boy closes his eyes, a smug smile on his lips. The final shred of his boyhood.
"I knew it."
Then, all is quiet.
Because of course I haven't forgotten my favourite plot-related assumption, and it's a pity and shame of epic proportions that there we have no access to Season 5! I would love to have some reviews, and of course constructive critique is never unwelcome.
R&R!
