Gaz sat in her room, playing her GameSlaveII. She had almost defeated the final level! Most of the Vampire Piggy Hunter games were fairly easy for her, but the Special Edition Squeal Of Doom level had proved to be a real challenge. Now, a whole month's worth of gaming had paid off
A phantom sow flew at her out of nowhere, but she deftly evaded it's Spooky Attack Of Piggy Doom with great skill. Gaz cautiously entered the lair of the Undead King Of Piggies. She was going to defeat it this time. She could feel it in her bones.
CRASH!!!!!!
The sound of breaking glass from Dib's room startled her into dropping the game. "BE QUIET!" she shrieked as she bent down to pick it up. She sighed in relief. The game had somehow paused. Gaz typed in the save code and turned it off, knowing that her nerves were now too jumpy to be able to play it properly. She seriously considered going in to check on Dib. After all, if he had hurt himself, she wanted to see it.
Gaz opened the door to Dib's room just in time to see him disappearing out the window. He was probably going to sit on the roof and look for UFO's. she rolled her eyes and left the room, carefully stepping over the shards of broken mirror that littered the floor.
She went back into her room and continued playing her GameSlaveII. She played for about fifteen minutes, searching for the secret entrance into the Pigpen of Darkness. Just as she found it, a incredibly loud roll of thunder that for some reason reminded her of breaking glass shook the house. She sighed and turned her GameSlave off again.
She walked downstairs and into the kitchen. After digging through the fridge for a bit, she found a cold piece of pizza. It would have probably tasted better if it was warm, but she didn't really feel like heating it right now.
An odd sound from the pantry caught her attention. Something was inside. She reached for the handle, but just then she saw a mouse run across the kitchen floor. That's probably what she had heard. As she headed back upstairs, there was another crash of thunder. This storm was unnerving, and she didn't know why.
A few minutes later, the pizza was entirely forgotten and she was trying with all of her might to defeat the Undead King Of Piggies. Slowly yet surely, she was gradually winning. She almost had him!
An earsplitting yell distracted her for a split second, but that was all it took.
GAME OVER
--YOU LOOSE--
She stared at the screen first in disbelief, then in anger. Whoever screamed would pay for this. Rage was burning in her eyes as she dashed down the stairs. She had worked so hard, but some idiot had yelled and messed the whole thing up!
She nearly ripped the hinges off the lab door when she opened it. That's when she saw him. Dib, drenched in blood, standing over her father's dead body. Her mind filled with a thousand frantic questions. Why had he done this? He was so crazy! Why had he done this? How could weird, harmless little Dib do such a thing? Why had he done this? Did he really think he could get away with it? Gaz steeled her nerves and managed to speak.
"The cops are gonna be mad when they find out you axe-murdered Professor Membrane."
Dib gave her a look of mixed regret and pity. Somewhere deep inside, Gaz was clutched with a sudden feeling of terror. She didn't know WHY she was scared; she had no doubt that she could kick Dib's but with both hands tied behind her back. All she knew was that she had to run.
She turned to bolt for the door.
