Foresight

SUMMARY: Around Christmastime Dib finds himself very lonely. He runs away from home and lives on the street for a while. When a mysterious girl gives him a miraculous gift, he questions his actions. Yeah, I know it's a little late for a Christmas fic…but, what the hay.

Prologue: Why Don't You Love Me?

It was a cold December night. Mysterious Mysteries had not yet showed, but he had to leave now. If he were to get out at all, it'd have to be now. After much deliberation, he had decided that this was the only way out without killing himself. He was going to run away. Of course, Gaz usually didn't give him the time of day, and his dad was at work, so getting out would be easy.

'Why don't you love me?' Dib thought to himself as he stared in misery at the house and all its depressing memories of the past, 'Why don't you listen? Why don't you care?' Clenching his fists, he bolted off into the distance, hoping never to be seen again by his family whom had all but forsaken him in the desolate abyss of a world. 'Why shouldn't I leave? It doesn't matter. No one cares about me anyhow. I'll be doing them all a favor by getting out of their way.'

It was cold. Very cold. Dib wished he had brought something to wear over his clothes. He rested in a small pile of snow and shivered. Shivering, cold and alone, Dib closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep in the ominous silence of the forbidding world of which he had been so cruelly abandoned.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Aww...so sad. __ I was inspired after a conversation with my dad about how Dib's family hardly pays any attention to him (Yeah, he's a fan too. It's so cool) Well, I got this idea when I was watching TV or something. I think I was watching Frasier, so I don't know how I got this idea from that. It's going to get pretty neat. I know it's short. Next chapter is coming up soon.
