(A/N: Sorry this is getting done so slowly.)

"Pause," said G. "Change scene."

(A/N: Notice G works life like a VCR type thing.)

The world around them blurred and flurried past, finally landing on the dingy form of a bar. Dib looked the building over and looked up at G, "What's going on here?"

"You'll see, come on." G replied, walking forward and holding the door. The boy stepped inside and took a look around; people fighting, people drunk, people drunk and fighting...and someone familiar.

The dismal nubian, Lasaro, sat at one of the booths in the back, huddling in the corner somewhat while her scythe lied across her legs. And as for her hands, she'd busied them with sharpening the long weapon's deadly blade. Her eyes were focusted upon it so that she wouldn't have to look at Sabre who sat across from her. He seemed as if he were trying to think of something to say. Finally, something managed to pop up in his mind. "Lasaro...What're you doing?" He asked softly, though the answer was obvious.

"...Getting ready..." Lass replied. She didn't bother to look up, just continuing to run her whetting stone against the metal.

The two invisible ones slowly walked forward for a better onlook of the situation.

Sabre let out a sigh. People were beginning to stare now. It wasn't everyday they saw a woman sharpening a weapon in a bar. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about giving whoever did this his just deserts..."she growled. Her hand faltered somewhat and she slipped, cutting her finger. Though, she obviously wasn't paying attention and continued to work.

"Seriously, you can't be planning on...you mean...Lass, you can't. You know the consequences..."

His statement seemed to agitate her further and she finally glanced up to him, her eyes flickering angrily. "Does it look like I give a DAMN about the consequences?! He was a little kid, Saab...a kid..." she yelled angrilly, gaining the attention of a few more people while the crowd hushed somewhat.

Dib gasped and turned to G, "She wants to kill the drunk guy in the car? Just because of me?"

G only nodded.Sabre sighed and reached a hand out to her, though she only pulled back and slid out of the booth to her feet. "Don't touch me." Lass said softly, putting the stone back into her pocket and dusting off her scythe a bit more. "I really...don't want to get into an arguement with you right now. I know what I want...no...change that. I know what I'm -going- to do, and it'd only waste my time..." With a crack of her knuckles, she was out the door, Sabre only staring after her before he jumped to his feet and ran after her.

"Lasaro! You can't do this!" he called to her as he rushed through the door, skidding to a halt on the sidewalk and watching her stop and turn around. "You know what would happen...don't make me do this..." His voice seemed rather uncertain about it all, hinting a bit of sadness along with it.

G grabbed Dib by the arm and pulled him outside.

She shook her head softly, staring at him for a few moments. "I'm sorry, but I have to. It's making me sick just thinking about..." Lasaro began, though she quickly stopped herself. "If you're gonna fill out a bounty, do it now...by the time it registers I'd have done it..."

"Then...I guess...this is goodbye..." he whispered to her, pushing his hair away a little to get a better look at her.

Dib the cute little dead boy (I'm a Lenore fan) looked at his two friends with worried eyes. They were usually so close, so nice to each other. Sure, Lasaro was a little -too- close and Sabre was a bit bottled up...but they were still his friends and now they were being torn apart.

"Yes, I guess it is..." she responded. They stood there quietly for a while before Sabre finally cleared his throat and walked over to her, leaning forward and kissing her gently on the cheek. She looked at him in a rather speechless manner for a minute. Then, she turned and stepped through one of the shadows nearby, leaving him staring at the concrete sidewalk.

The little invisible child on the sidewalk watched in astonishment. He knew they were close but...kissing? 'Whoa,' he thought.

His gaurdian angel nodded down to him, "Freaky, yes? Time to visit Saroya."

Dib's Point of View

We're going to see Saroya? But she...she was the first one I met. (See 'The House of Madness' by Sinne and Velveeta.)

I hope she's reacting by better means than homicide...

Ugh, I was so stupid....
