Sorry it took so long to write chapter 4. It might move a little slow at first, but it'll pick up. I feel really bad for what I'm going to write, but you know, this is a fanfiction based on Final Destination...all I can say is what did you expect? This chapter's going to be mostly a Sheen/Libby one, so...well...here you go...
IneedLove2-Thanks for reviewing.
teejayvortex-If you liked that, then you should read my other fanfic, Broken. Betty gets hit by a bus in that on too. What can I say, I just don't like Betty...
Sly Cooper-Napoleon Dynamite face Yesssssssssss...turns to Tina the llama Tina, did you hear that, you tub of lard? I get a chocolate chip cookie! lol Geez, I just love Napoleon...
Sassy08-Yeah, I forgot about that until just after I deleted the document on word, so they're going to figure it out in this chapter. Yeah, I had to have another person in the story, and Betty was the only choice, so she had to go first, because I just don't like her. And I think I'm going to make him go crazy, but I'm not sure yet...
kohirihiri-Well, what can I say! I just had to get rid of Betty!
LadyEsca-Don't worry, most of my fanfics have a happy ending for Jimmy/Cindy fans...Gory movies like this make me paranoid, so don't feel alone! lol Well, I've always thought that he would be a good kisser if he was kissing Cindy because he would want to impress her. Unfortunately, I'll never get the chance to see if he's a good kisser or not...DANG IT! I'm just kidding...heh heh...starts backing away while looking around nervously What! I don't have a problem, ok! lol

Purple Flurp and Laser Spears
Jimmy sat on the couch watching those green eyes stare out the window. She was soaked, and the towel that was wrapped around her didn't help much, but she kept it close anyways. All he could think about was how nice he had been to the girl that had just tried to kill the blonde sitting across from him, and how he had actually been a bit concerned about that ungrateful witch earlier.
"She tried to kill me," Cindy said, staring at the floor.
Jimmy looked away at this, suddenly feeling really guilty, like it was because of him that this all happened.
"We know Cin," Libby pulled her drenched best friend into a hug.
She gently pushed her away. "C'mon Cindy. You can't be mad at anyone now, can you?"
Instantly the green orbs that had been so carefully admired from a distance shot up to their admirer. He swallowed the lump in his throat and stood slowly. He had screwed up, majorly. Libby automatically looked at Jimmy, then sighed in obvious realization and grabbed Sheen and Carl by the arm, dragging them into another room.
He couldn't move. The air around him felt tight as she gazed up at him, letting her towel fall away from her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, Cindy," He said hesitantly. She didn't show any sign of recognition, so he shuffled past the coffee table and stood facing down at her.
She looked back up at him with tears edging the corners of her eyes. She blinked them back carefully, then stood so that they were level.
"For what?" She said bitterly. He stared at her blankly. "You didn't do anything..."
"Exactly. I didn't do anything," He grasped her shoulder with one hand while stepping closer to her but she pulled away.
"Neutron...we can't do this. We're supposed to be enemies. After what happened on that island, I wasn't so sure of that...But now I am, so why can't you be just as sure?" She crossed her arms over her chest and rubbed her arms coldly.
He looked at her through eyes of rejection and hurt. She went to retrieve Libby and the others, sauntering slowly away from Jimmy. She left him with his cold thoughts, the ones that he had been to afraid to express before.
She had made it perfectly clear that she didn't want to be with him, yet he couldn't stop thinking about her face. Even if she wasn't allowing him to show his affection for her, he could still think about her...and watch her...There was nothing she could do about that. A triumphant smile came across his face as the others returned to the room.
"You know, if the mirror was supposed to kill Betty, then wouldn't it have skipped her and gone to the next person in line?" Libby questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah..." Jimmy's eyes lit up as he thought. "Well, maybe the mirror wasn't supposed to kill her. It is possible that death was just trying to throw us off..."
Everyone looked around slowly.
"Sheen, come on. Come back over here before you get hurt!" The voice from the phone called into his ear.
"No, Libby. I didn't feel like wasting my whole day at Jimmy's house. Besides, Ultralord was on when I got home, and I almost missed it," He held the phone up to the TV to prove himself then he pressed it back to his ear. "Libby, I love you. But for some reason I still don't believe that Jimmy is telling the truth."
"Ok, but Sheen I don't want you to get hurt and I-" He rolled his eyes as he pressed the button gingerly with his finger and set the phone down on the reciever.
"Back Robofiend, or I will slay thee-" The TV droned on. Surprisingly, Sheen wasn't even paying attention to it.
"What if Jimmy was right, though?" He said aloud to himself, then shrugged.
Standing up and walking into his bathroom, he stared at his reflection cautiously. Nothing about him had changed, so why did he suddenly feel different?
Running into the kitchen to grab a bologna sandwich, Sheen reached into his pocket to find that his picture of Libby had gone missing. Instantly, remorse for hanging up on her hit him hard, and he dropped his sandwich.
Where'd it go! He thought, Oh man. That was the only picture of Libby that I had...
Frantically, he ran back upstairs to his room and started going through his closet, throwing random objects onto the floor behind him. Once his struggles with the closet proved useless, he ran across his room to his giant dresser, not stopping to clean up the mess he had just made. On the floor in a heap, there was an array of Ultralord keepsakes and tokens, ranging from an unofficial Ultralord double barrel sling-shot, to an Ultralord utility belt with tomatoes, to an actual Ultralord laser spear that had been used in Ultralord:The Movie.
However, Sheen cared nothing for any of this at the moment. All he wanted to have was the dark-skinned girl's picture in his hand. The laser spear tipped precariously on top of the pile that was growing larger and larger by the minute. The Hispanic adolescent gave up his search on his dresser and ran back to his closet so swiftly that it made the conglomeration sway, making the dangerously unbalanced laser spear tip carefully.
"I've gotta find it!" His yell rang throughout the house as he flew down the flight of stairs to get himself a glass of purple flurp.
As soon as the liquid hit the glass, the bottle was thrown carelessly back into the fridge and he was off to his room again. Sitting the glass on his desk by his TV, he went back to his search for the photo.
However, something he forgot to overlook was the impregnability of the cup, and slowly it fell off the edge of the desk and soaked the plug to the TV that was barely in the outlet. All of this went unnoticed by Sheen, his panic making him sporadically continue his search.
Normally, this wouldn't be very life-threatening, but normally bedrooms have carpeted floors. In which case that Sheen did, the possiblities of him getting electrocuted would be lesser. But this situation wasn't normal, nor was Sheen, so due to the fact that Sheen's father wanted floors that were easier to clean when the house was built, his floor was made of linoleum. That fact makes the possibility of getting electrocuted almost one-hundred percent, thus making the situation life-threatening.
Sheen walked slowly back over to his closet, noticing something wet on the floor. He looked down, saw the plug that was wet and sparking, and hurriedly jumped onto his bed. Luckily his shoes had rubber soles, so the electricity by-passed his feet. He spun his legs around the other side of the bed and hopped off of it, waltzing quickly over to his closet...again. Finally he gave up on his closet and ran across his room. His feet gave way as he forgot the puddle of purple flurp laying in the middle of his room, and he landed with a loud "Boom!"
The sound made the floor vibrate, and the laser spear pitched forward. There was a split second where Sheen's whole body was numb, and all he could see was the blackness of his closed eyelids. Then the pain hit him, and he gasped as his chest heaved. The room started spinning and every breath he took used all of his energy.
"And you just let him go!" Jimmy scolded.
"Well, I'm not exactly persuasive when it comes to Ultralord! I even tried calling him to warn him!" Libby screamed back at him with tears in her eyes while Cindy just glared at Jimmy from Libby's side. She opened her mouth to say something when Jimmy interrupted.
"Alright! I'm sorry! It's just that...Sheen's my best friend!" Jimmy argued, dodging another bullet shot from the gun that was held to his head every day by the fiery blonde.
"He's MY boyfriend! Is he your's?" Libby yelled, not waiting for an answer. "NO! I didn't think so!" She hung her head in her hands as she sobbed. The irascible girl next to her embraced her from the side.
Jimmy just sighed. "Ok, we're approaching the Estevez residence."
They looked onward as Libby leaned forward over the edge of the hovercraft, nearly falling out if not for Cindy's quick reflexes. As soon as the hovercraft made contact with the grass in Sheen's front yard, Libby was out and bounding into the house, followed closely by Cindy, then Jimmy, then Carl.
"SHEEN!" Libby called as she ran around the living room and into the kitchen, then back into the living room. "SHEEN, where are you!"
Cindy, Jimmy, and Carl just looked slowly around at one another, having a sickening feeling grow in each of their stomachs. Sheen would never not answer his girlfriend when she sounded this frantic. Jimmy saw Cindy turn to go up the stairs as quietly as she could. He turned to Carl and made a gesture with his hands to keep Libby from going upstairs, then followed Cindy.
Cindy waited on the landing at the top of the stairs for Jimmy because she didn't know her way around. He walked ahead of her, but she grabbed his arm.
"You know, I didn't really hate him that much," Her eyes were glued to the floor in front of her. "He was alright, just a bit annoying at times...I never should've treated him like that."
Her eyes shot up to meet his and he flinched.
"If he's..." She looked back down. "Well, you know...I'll feel really bad..."
"It's ok, Cindy, he'll be alright, and you can tell him that," Jimmy turned and started walking down the hallway, stopping at Sheen's door with tears in his eyes.
Forcing himself to open the door, he swung it open as fast as he could, bracing himself. A gasp escaped from the girl behind him as he stood frozen in his place. Not that what he saw wasn't what he had expected, but it was still shocking to see one of his best friends laying on the floor, a puddle of blood growing larger and larger by the moment. Jimmy rushed forward to kneel on the ground beside him, leaving Cindy standing awkwardly in the doorway.
"Sheen...Are you awake?" Jimmy asked softly.
Sheen's eyelids fluttered open. He smiled at Jimmy for a second, then looked away.
"Did I find Libby's picture yet?" He asked in a hoarse and eerily calm voice.
Jimmy looked in the drawers of the desk for a moment, then found a school picture of Libby, and carefully placed it in Sheen's hands. Sheen held it as if it was a priceless Ultralord commodity, but the look in his eyes as he stared at the piece of paper was completely different from the look that he had when he had just gotten a new action figure. There was passion in his eyes, and a hint of relief.
"Tell her that I love her," He turned back to Jimmy, still clutching the picture tightly.
Jimmy nodded, tears falling down his cheeks as he looked over at Cindy.
"Don't worry Sheen. We'll tell her," Cindy said in a quivering voice as she kneeled down next to Jimmy and grabbed Sheen's hand. "And I want to tell you that...I'm sorry. I'm sorry for how mean I...I've ever been to you. I'm...I'm really sorry for that."
Tears were finding their way slowly down her soft cheeks as well, and she collapsed into a heap in Jimmy's arms, releasing Sheen's hand.
Jimmy reached over to the projectile sticking out of his chest and placed a hand on it. Cindy leaned away a bit, giving Jimmy his room. He tried pulling, much to the discomfort of Sheen, but failed. He put both hands on the handle of the laser spear and stood up. He pulled with all his strength, but the protrusile spear only moved a bit. He let go and fell back to the floor, his head in his hands as he sobbed uncontrollably.
At that moment, perturbed footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs along with many exhausted protests from Carl. They neared the door and hesitated before opening it.
Words cannot express the look on Liberty Danielle Folfax's face as she gazed upon the scene with cynical brown orbs. To see your signinficant other laying on the floor with an obtrusive object in his chest would make you irrationally derisive too.
"What..." She managed to get out before she rushed over to his side with more tears streaming down her face than anyone in the room.
"Hi Libby," He said in the calm voice that he had been using. "Don't cry..."
She smiled at him and gently laid her head down on his chest, on what space was left. He stroked her hair softly as he began to cry also.
"Sheen..." He gently put a finger to her lips, quieting her.
"Libs, I love you..." She grabbed his hand. "You will always be my mighty fine royal fabulousness..."
"You're so sweet," She whispered in his ear.
Then, as if he was in perfectly good health, he pushed her gently towards his lips and she willingly pushed herself further until they met. It was one of the most passionate kisses that either had ever experienced, and it even rivaled one that Cindy and Jimmy could conjure.
When they broke apart, Libby looked into his eyes and said the three words that Sheen loved to hear from her. He held the picture in his hand close to his heart as she backed away, too afraid of what was happening. He gave her one last longing look, then turned his head away and closed his eyes one last time.
I hope everyone liked it...Sorry to all of you Sheen fans, but like I said before, it is a spin-off of Final Destination. I know, a lot of angst in this chapter...I've just been in a depressed kind of mood lately; it must have something to do with how boring my summer's been...R & R
