She scared him.

A lot.

So much, he even had nightmares about her.

He was in the elevator again, spiraling towards Earth, her standing right next to him, demanding the Game Slave 2. But he didn't have it.

Not this time.

So they ended up crashing,

But somehow, she lived and he was dying on the pavement, spilling blood everywhere and no one was helping.

He woke up immediatly after, sweating like crazy and clutching his heart.

Oh, just another dream.

Another nightmare.

And yet...

When he was awake, it was a nightmare.

She became the eerie shadows on the walls at night. She became the thing that went bump in the night.

He got panicky and paranoid; so much, in fact, that his caring mother sent him to a psychaitrist.

But it didn't help.

The psychiatrist reminded him of her.

Gaz...

Ugh.

He shuddered.

It got worse and worse until he was sleeping with a pistol on the nightstand.

He brought a knife everywhere.

Until finally, finally, he got over his fear.

His mother was elated.

He was normal again.

Except for one little issue-

He had fallen in love with her.

It didn't happen slowly.

It hit him hard.

When he realized it, he fell over.

And she appeared by his side.

Laughed.

And pushed him over when he got up.

But he made it a point to fall over each day so she would come over to him, and push him, just to feel the touch of her.

He would just smile.

And it confused her.

He knew, deep inside his heart, that they would never be together, and that saddened him, but he was just happy that she took an interest in him, even if it was to harm him.

It was, as he mused later in life- as a successful game designer-, odd. Kind of a forbidden, one-sided love.

She would never love him.

Ever.

She frequently called him a freak, even now.

They were co-workers, she only one level above him.

He didn't look odd anymore, no, he stopped bulging his eyes. got his teeth straightened and whitened, and got his sandy blonde hair grown out in kind of a punk look.

He look almost... attractive.

Weird.

One day, he got up the nerve to ask her out. He was sweating and shuffling his feet.

She laughed for a second, then got serious again and asked if her was joking.

No.

Her smile disappeared.

No thanks, she said, But thanks for asking... It was really... sweet of you.

Then she gave him a small kiss on the cheek and walked off.

He touched the spot in wonder.

Then she went hom to be with her two children (Lucielle and Damian) and her husband (Zim, was it?).

But he never saw her the same again.

Fate is weird. Sometimes it turns enemies in to lovers. Sometimes it turns your nightmares into dreams.

But it's all ment to happen.

Right?
