ANNNND NEW CHAPPIE! I love you guys! Special uber love shoutout to my buddy XxQueenOfDarknessxX who has put up with my nuttiness and sickness on the RP for a week now!
Disclaimer: No.
Sam's POV
I slammed my fist into the wall. Quorra sighed. "Sam, let it be. She made her decision."
"Just because he's manipulating her!" I fumed.
"And you aren't?" Quorra asked, raising her eyebrow.
I glared at her. "She's my sister, I'm allowed to."
"Sure." She shook her head. "When are you going to get it through that thick skull of yours that she's an adult and she can do what she wants? It's her decision. Not mine, not yours, not anyone else's but hers."
I groaned. "Why do you always have to be right?"
"Because I am, Sam Flynn. Now calm down before you give yourself a heart attack."
Cassie's POV
I sighed as Rinzler dashed around the room. "I thought it was the girl's job to worry."
He laughed. "It's called packing, love." He ran into the bedroom and then ran back out. I raised an eyebrow.
"Packing for what?" I swung myself off the barstool and grabbed Rinzler's hand.
"We're going to your world to get married!" He beamed at my startled face.
"Um, what?" I frowned. "I was not informed of this!"
"Yeah!" He grinned and went back to flying around the room.
"You're crazy!"
"I thought you knew that."
"Are Sam and Quorra coming back with us?" I stared at him with a cold glare.
"Um, well…" He scratched the back of his neck and walked over to me. He wrapped an arm around my waist. "I think Clu's keeping them here." He smiled nervously at me.
"Then we aren't going!" I pulled away and crossed my arms.
"Cassie…" He used the sad pleading tone he pulled out when I got mad at him.
"Don't Cassie me, mister. You get Clu to allow them to come back with us, or I'm out." I glared. "Got it?"
He grumbled, but somewhere in there I heard agreement. "Fine."
"Good." I snickered as I heard him stalk out, muttering about how much of a pain I was and him wondering why he even bothered in the first place. I sighed and sat on the couch. I felt like a terrible person. "Gah. I deserve to rot in hell."
"And why is that?" Clu's voice came from behind me. I whipped around and my hair smacked me in the face.
"Ow. And what are you doing in here? Ever heard the concept of knocking?" I stood up, my left hand planted firmly on my hip.
"I do believe I rang. But I got no response." He smiled slyly at me. I rolled my eyes.
"What do you want?" My eyes narrowed.
"You want to bring your brother and that ISO home."
"Obviously, I would. I may have turned my back on him right now, but he's still my brother!"
"I'll make a deal with you." He smiled and sat down on the couch. I stayed standing by the window. "You can take them home. And you and Rinzler go with them. Do whatever you need to do there."
I frowned. "What's the catch?" I paced. "There's something that you must want or need in return. This isn't a no catch deal, Clu." He looked at me. "Seriously. What do you get out of this anyways?"
"You come back after. And stay in the Grid forever." A sly smile graced his lips. I gaped. What do I say to that? I'd never see Sam or Quorra or Dad or Alan… But on the other hand… I'd be here. And they could always come in. I bit my lip, hard. "You have until you leave to decide. But I suggest you make the right choice." He stood up and turned to leave. Then he turned back. "Cassie, you don't seem to be too sad about Rinzler."
I glared at him. "Get out of here."
He smirked. "Make your decision, Cassie Flynn. Make sure it's the right one." He turned again, walking out. I slid onto the floor with a sob.
What choice did I have? I had to take Clu's offer. For Sam and Quorra's sake. Not my own. I leaned my head against the wall.
"I hate myself."
"Cassie! Don't say that!" Rinzler bent down in front of me.
"When the hell did you come back in?"
"Um. Just right now." His eyes darted around.
"Why are you avoiding eye contact?" I gave him a look.
"Ugh. I hate when you talk like that. I heard you and Clu talking." He smiled innocently.
"Rinzler! God! I seriously need to teach you how to not eavesdrop." I stood up with a sigh.
"So which one are you going to take?"
"Is that even a question? I need to get them out. I'd rather suffer myself."
He frowned. "Suffer?"
I looked at him, putting my hands up. "No! Not that way! It's just, sometimes I miss home."
"Well, then we can stay for a while. Clu never said when we had to come back." He wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my hair. "You can show me all the things you used to talk about."
"I guess."
"Can you stop saying that?"
"Nope."
Cassie: I can't believe you made me make that decision, Rach!
Me: Well, it's a good plot line.
Cassie: SCREW PLOT LINES!
Me: Ah...
Cassie: -.-
Sam: I don't like where this is going.
Me: At least only you guys and Rinzler are popping out. I'm scared if the others follow suit.
Quorra: Wait, why?
Me: NOOOOOO! *makes the finger gun and shoots herself*
Quorra: Umm...
Cassie: *sigh* As our dear Rachel would say, review.
