Chapter 4

Well, after my long sobbing out on the porch of the Crash Hut, I went back into the house to enjoy the life I had been having. I suddenly realized that I wasn't real different. It was only my size that was. What I didn't know, however, was that I had a secret crush.

As it turned out, this crush led to disaster. Why? It was because I fell in love with Coco, Crash's sister, and Dingodile's fiancé. And then I stole her. I can sort of remember that day.

I believe it was a Sunday when I heard Coco walk out of Dingodile's place, and at the same time, I had heard Dingodile sobbing. At first, I was not real pleased with what Coco had done, but then, I saw her poem. If I am retelling that love story, I won't do much more of it.

For a while, that love between me and Coco was special. Then, the horror came again. And I think this is where Coco can put her two sense in.

(A/N: This next part is told from Coco's point of view. She describes the pain she suffered from Crunch's death.)

"I remember the day of Crunch's demise. I also remember the tears and the anger I had. And I remember one creature who brought this to me: Dingodile.

He was jealous of me and Crunch's relationship and he wanted to end it. And he did succeed, and for a while, I was so miserable, I thought like I could commit suicide, which I almost did. Luckily, I was stopped thanks to a potoroo, whose name was Pinstripe. Too bad I didn't stay with him for the day, for I soon got angry and stormed off, only to suffer from a near-death experience. And then, I got saved by Koala Kong, a giant koala with quite a temper. And Dingodile also saved me, in a way. But then, more horror came. And Crunch remembers this more than I do."

(A/N: Now back to Crunch's point of view. He remembers the resurrection and how he killed Coco.)

The thing I remember after my disappearance was returning as a hypnotized freak! And what makes me really angry to this day was the idea that Cortex had made me like that for a time!

While I was hypnotized, I remember doing the unthinkable to my fellow species.

I killed her.

Oh why did I do it? WHY?!!?

Well, the answer was obvious. I had been hypnotized, but why me? I never ASKED to be brainwashed! I didn't ASK for Coco to die! And yet I killed her! How could I live with myself for doing such a thing? I swear I was so upset, I could've committed suicide!

But that would've been even more unfair, because then Aku-Aku would be alone, because Crash had met his demise earlier. Life was just not fair to me.
