Decisions

Wait haven't I used that title before, but where? WHERE? Oh yeah, my other fic, oh well. Anyway, this is my next wonderful chapter. I still don't own Jhonen Vasquez's work, damn him. Before I begin, here's something to think about. In JTHM it is stated that the setting of the stories is Brazil, yet Squee's school has a U.S. flag on top of it. I wasn't aware that Brazilian schools kept U.S. flags. hmmm. Oh well, on with the chapter.

Gaz regained consciousness some time later. She hadn't opened her eyes, but she knew she wasn't still in that psycho's basement. She opened her eyes. A blank ceiling stared back down at her. She glanced around the room, and deduced she was in a hospital.

"Fucking hospital." She grumbled. Oh no, Gaz was NOT fond of hospitals.

"Hi-ya Gaz!" The voice of her brother echoed throughout the room. She groaned. She didn't want to have to talk to Dib. She wanted her Game Slave 8. She shouldn't have bothered with Dib. She should have let him die. All he was was a pain in the ass.

"How are you?" He asked pulling up a chair next to her. She growled in response.

"Fine, you can leave now." She said, but still he sat.

"You were out for a long time Gaz, a week." He said, he sound worried. Another growl emitted from her throat.

"I said you can leave." She said harshly, "Go."

"Ah, come on, Gaz, that guy was going to kill me, and you. The least you can do is act happy to see me alive and well. I was tortured you know." He said light heartedly.

"If you want to remain in the health you recently regained, you'll leave now Dib. I WILL make you leave." She stated. He gulped and sighed in defeat.

"Fine. You know, you should try to be more pleasant. You might actually get a friend." He said.

"The only friend I need is my Game Slave 8. Besides Zim didn't complain." She said dismissing him.

"What's Zim got to do with this?" He asked.

"We had a one-night stand." She said again trying to dismiss him.

"WHAT!?" He shrieked at her, "Gaz, he's an alien."

"Fine," she said sitting up in a threatening manner, "I guess I will have to hurt you." He looked at her; open his mouth, shook his head, and shut his mouth. He then turned and walked out of the room.

Johnny sat on his couch watching TV. The little mutilated blue rubber duck, Lixo was sitting next to him.

"That girl on your mind?" asked the duck. It was hard to determine what sex the little bath toy was supposed to be. All the previous voices had been male, but he was almost positive Lixo didn't have a sex. Either that or he or she, which ever, was homosexual. He chose not to think about it.

"Yeah." Johnny hadn't been able to get Gaz off his mind. Sitting there he wasn't sure if he would have actually gone through with killing her. Not that her comment about him being arrogant had bugged him, it's just that she was different. At first he thought she was kind of like him, then he thought she was just another annoyance, but now, well he still wasn't sure. Neither was exactly true, but she bared both characteristics. The only reason she went down there was to save her brother. But then why had she taunted him? He sighed, maybe there was logic behind the taunts. He had kidnapped, and tortured her brother. What had he expected for her to fall all over him and fall in love with him? But what about the arrogance comment. Maybe it was time to face facts, he didn't know the first thing about women. The whole Devi thing was enough to show that.

"Confuses you, huh?" He asked. Johnny had told Lixo of the event. Lixo wasn't remotely similar to the other voices; he was more like a roommate. He was up to helping Johnny, and always was willing to talk or listen, and if he had a shoulder, he would lend that to Johnny to cry on. Lixo was his favorite voice, but then again, Nail-bunny had been important to him. Oh well, it didn't matter, he could be happy now. The only thing that could keep Johnny from happiness was the ever-present insanity looming over his head, well, in his head.

"Yes it does. Maybe I should get out more. You know spend more time outside. I can't understand people, maybe if went out more, I would understand. I think I'll go now, don't expect me back anytime soon." He said getting up heading to the door.

"I think I'll try to find Gaz, her brother, and that green guy, Zim. I'm going to kill all of them. Maybe I'll talk to Gaz before I kill her. Maybe I can understand women better." He said as calmly as if they were discussing the weather, and with that he went out the door to commit three planned murders, and likely more along the way. (69)

YAY! Johnny's going to kill Gaz! Oh wait, that's a bad thing, well, maybe he won't. Or will he? Or won't he? Anyway that's the end of chapter and yes it is longer, the last chapter was 58 sentences about the same size as these sentences, where as this has 69 sentences. I know it's sad that I have nothing better to do than count sentences. *Sigh* oh well. Review.
