Hi everyone! I am on Christmas break (finally), but I've decided to take a break from "Psychic in the Light", as I am trying to finish it, but am out of ideas for chapters.
Anyway, this one-shot will actually take place in Wilbur's dream that is to take place in "For Good." I'm not going to give spoilers on "For Good" much since there's already a summary in my profile page...and I have yet to write the story before that one. The idea for this one-shot came from listening to a cover by Sam Tsui and Christina Gimmie, and this came to mind. So, I hope you'll enjoy this story.
*I do not own anything related to "Meet the Robinsons"*
WILBUR'S POV
KARENA'S POV
I had a frightening phone call from Mr. Edwards about his daughter, my girlfriend of 3 years and 6 months. He had told me that Karena was going to commit suicide...tonight. I quickly shot out of my bed and got dressed in my favorite shirt and jeans and tied my shoes, all of which took me five minutes. I transported to the garage where I hopped in my navy blue flying car, and I flew out of the garage towards Los Angeles, California.
I was all alone. My darling boyfriend Wilbur and I had an argument...something I never thought we would have. Wilbur had changed my life for the better...how could he have deserted me? I had moved to Todayland, North Montana to have a better life. After what had happened, what was the point of living any longer? I had quit my job at Denny's, given up on my education at Todayland University, quit my internship at Todayland High School, and moved back to my hometown of Los Angeles. I had decided to steal a knife from the university lab before coming back...I had decided to end my life tonight.
As I drove to Los Angeles to save Karena's life, regretting what I had argued against her, a song came to mind as I couldn't lose her...especially not before I would propose to her.
I was thinkin' about you, thinkin' about me
Thinkin' about us, what we're gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.
As I stared at the rainstorm through the window of the apartment I would end my life in, a song came to mind as there was nothing left to live for...yet still thinking about the former love of my life.
I travel back down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realize, it was only just adream.
Hastily, I crossed the border connecting North Montana to South Montana.
I was at the top and now it's like I'm in the basement
Number one spot and now you found you a replacement
I swear now that I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby
And now you ain't around, baby, I can't think
I should've put it down, should've got that ring
Cuz I can still feel it in the air
See your pretty face
Run my fingers through your hair
My lover, my life
My baby, my wife
You left me, I'm tied
Cuz I knew that it just ain't right
I was thinkin' about you, thinkin' about me
Thinkin' about us, what we're gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream
I travel back down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream
All of a sudden, an image of my ex-boyfriend, Wilbur Robinson, entered my mind as I continued to stare out into the storm. I thought about taking out my knife, but maybe...just maybe...he could save me from this depression...even though I told him I never wanted to see his face again.
I swear I see your face at every turn
Tryin' to get my usher on, but I can't let it burn
And now I just notice you're the only one I urn for
The one I'm missing, when will I learn?
Didn't give you all my love, I guess now I got my payback
Now I'm in the club thinkin' all about you, baby
Hey, you were so easy to love
But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough
I'm goin' through it every time that I'm alone
And now I'm wishin' you should pick up the phone
Show me a decision that you wanted to move on
Cuz I was wrong
I was thinkin' about you, thinkin' about me
Thinkin' about us, what we're gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream.
I travel back down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream
I walked away from the window to grab my knife from the kitchen.
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.
I parked my car a few blocks away from Mr. Edwards' apartment, hopped out and started to run.
If you ever loved somebody, put your hands up
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up
And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.
I unsheathed the knife from the cloth and got myself into position. I guess Wilbur wasn't coming after all to save me. I started to regret everything that I had said to him and wished I could go back to take back those words. But it was too late.
I was thinkin' about you, thinkin' about me
Thinkin' about us, what we're gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream
I travel back down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream.
I ran through the rainstorm and across the street as I raced toward the apartment. I really hoped it wasn't too late, not thinking about the conditions outside. I panted as I ran, but I didn't care; I just wanted my girlfriend back, safe and sound.
I was thinkin' about you, thinkin' about me
Thinkin' about us, what we're gonna be
Open my eyes, it was only just a dream
I travel back down that road
Will you come back? No one knows
I realize, it was only just a dream.
It was only just a dream.
I raised the knife above my chest, praying that Wilbur would arrive before I took my life.
It was only just a dream.
I opened the door to find my beloved Karena on the ground, bleeding with a knife on hand. I gasped as Jonathan walked in, and we hugged each other, crying into each others' shoulders.
WILBUR'S POV
"KARENA!" I screamed as I woke up, panting. I placed a hand on my head, noticing that my hair was dry, but my forehead was covered in sweat. I quickly picked up my phone and dialed my girlfriend.
"Oh come on, Karr, PICK UP!" I yelled with worried before I the ringing stopped.
"Hello?"
"Oh thank goodness you're alive!"
"Wilbur, is everything alright?" Karena Edwards, the love of my life, asked as I continued to pant.
"It is now," I answered with relief. "I'm so happy you didn't commit suicide!"
"Nightmares?"
"Yeah," I replied, rubbing my neck with my free hand. "I need to ask you something-"
"I'll be right over, honey. Try not to die, okay?"
"I won't, I promise."
Don't worry. This is only a dream Wilbur had. Karena will not die in any of my stories, I promise. :) Thanks for reading, and hopefully, I'll finish "Psychic in the Light" and start "Epidemic." And continue "Saving the Future." Ttyl ;)
