(A/N: Let's see what Cindy's mother has to say about her father. R&R, please. Otomos!)

Chapter 7: A blast from the past

Cindy arrived a day later at her mother's place. She wondered if Spongebob had worried or was concerned that she had left. But nevertheless, she had to find out about her father. Her mother seemed to be writting something. Perhaps a letter? She couldn't tell.

Cindy: Mother?

Crystal: Oh, Cindy. I didn't expect your coming. Come sit down.

Cindy:-sits down- Mother, i have something to ask of you.

Crystal: Go ahead.

Cindy: What happened to father?

Crystal: Your father?-looks distant- He was murdered...

Cindy: By who?

Crystal: We don't know. They never found him.

Cindy: Why was he murdered?

Crystal: They believe he wasn't of our type.

Cindy: What?!

Crystal: They were right. He wasn't...

Cindy: But wouldn't they have detected that long before?

Crystal: That's what i had thought. Somehow he was able to slip past that unnoticed.

Cindy: Like Bruno...

Crystal: Huh?

Cindy: Oh nothing mother.

Crystal: I didn't want to tell you this.

Cindy: That i'm not fully of this type? That i'm a half breed?

Crystal: Cindy, please don't be upset.

Cindy: How can i not be? My father was murdered because he's different and i'm different.

Crystal: Not by much.

Cindy: And that makes it good enough.-leaves-

Crystal: Cindy, wait. Oh dear...

Cindy started back for home in Bikini Bottom. She couldn't believe it. She was a half breed. She was different. The thought of it brought another... Her child was going to be different, too. She felt angry and confused at the same time. Angry because, her mother kept something this important to her from her all these years. Confused because, she couldn't comprehend how her father or Bruno could get past anyone's knowledge that they weren't of their type. Then another thought came to her... Bryan. She had just jeoperdised his life now that she found out about her father. But why was this such a contraversy? And why would anyone want to hurt Bruno over this just because he knows about it? Why wouldn't they capture someone Cindy cares about instead? These questions were all to confusing. She had to consentrate on how to explain to Bruno about hurting his brother's chances of living. Cause whatever they were now she knew they would be very slim.

The next day she arrived at Spongebob's house where she saw Bruno waiting for her outside. She knew what was coming so she decided to just get it over with.

Bruno: You happy now?

Cindy: What do you mean?

Bruno: You know damn well what i mean!

Cindy: I just had to know.

Bruno: Yeah you always have to know, don't you?

Cindy: You mentioned my father sparking my curiosity.

Bruno: Don't you pin my brother's death on me! None of it was my fault!

Cindy:...

Bruno: You owe me a brother.-walks away-

Cindy:-goes inside-

Spongebob: What was all that about?

Cindy: Bruno. He's saying it's my fault his brother is dead.

Spongebob: No it isn't.

Cindy: Yes it is. He was watching me to make sure i wouldn't find out about my father. His brother's life was depending on whether i wouldn't find out and since i did he was murdered.

Spongebob: Oh...

Cindy: Please excuse me...-walks up to the bathroom-

Cindy had to be alone for a while. After finding out she was the cause of someone's death that's definitely a good excuse to be alone. She pondered for a while about her father and how Bruno knows about him. She figured she would confront him someday about it, just not now. Now was the time for him to grieve for his brother and she wouldn't interfere with that. She went downstairs to go to bed so she could put this behind her. Even though she knew it was going to be hard to.

(A/N: Cindy's a half breed. Now there's something to think about. Anyways i'm sorry chapter 6 came in a little late. I was sick and wasn't feeling to good. I'm still sick, but well enough to put in more chapters. Well make sure you review. Otomos!)
