Still on hiatus... just found a finished chapter that I forgot to post. I'm so lazy! Well here's the next chapter... update will be in the near future... even though I am working on chapter 9 of this story right now.

Chapter 8

Decisions

625 had to make a hard decision. To go with Flora, a person what was willing to take care of him, despite the terrible consequences. Or Jumba, his creator, but abuse stressed 625, but was still loyal too.

Gantu and Era watched from a far distance, both crossing their fingers behind their backs, hoping that 625 knew what he was doing.

Jumba and Flora stood a few feet away from each other, as 625 was placed between them, to decide who it was. 625 sighed he wanted to be with flora, the one who showed him the error of his ways, but a part of him wanted to stay with Jumba, his creator. He had to decide, then he took a few footsteps in front of the person he chose, as his footsteps could be heard tapping against the floor.

Gantu and Era cringed after they found out who was the chosen one.

'' 625! NO! NO!'', Jumba shouted.

625 was lifted up off from the floor and was cuddled into Flora's arms. 625 sighed as he smiled, looking very content while he hugged Flora. Jumba grew angry with rage as he grabbed 625 out of Flora's arms, by the scruff of his neck. 625 took a last glance at Flora. Flora looked back waving at him, now missing him. Jumba stormed off out of the house and headed for the ship in his backyard and entered. He held 625 down into a cold metal table, keeping his eyes on Jumba.

Jumba pulled out a pair of handcuffs and strapped them into 625's arms. 625 felt himself being lifted up again as he was thrown into a glass capture container, and locked inside. Jumba placed his face to the container, as 625 stared.

'' WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!'', Jumba shouted.

'' N-n-nothing'', 625 said, submissively.

'' I CANNOT BE BELIEVING YOU 625! I'M THE ONE THAT CREATED YOU AND YOU BETRAY ME!''

625 couldn't answer as he bit his lower lip, while looking down, as if ashamed of his decision.

'' Right now I have important things to take care of. I'll think of your punishment later, but right now you'll be staying in there.''

625 looked up and watched Jumba walk out of the ship. Gantu and Era entered jumba's ship, looking for 625. They saw him, but saw Jumba storm right past them. Era had to find out what was going on, to see if she was right. She followed Jumba who was entering inside the house.

Gantu watched 625 in the glass, trying to tap his finger against the glass. It didn't work. His finger went right through the glass, as if he was a ghost. He wanted to comfort 625 but he couldn't. He watched as 625 sighed as a lump formed in his throat, hanging his head down. Gantu watched; he wanted to hold 625 tightly to comfort him, but he couldn't. 625 let out a soft moan, then Gantu saw liquid form in his eyes, as they slid down his face. He was crying.

That was too much for Gantu to see,'' 625, come on don't cry!''

625 couldn't hear gantu nor see him. No response, just a sob. Gantu tried tapping the glass again... he couldn't his whole hand went right through the glass. he tried to pick up something, still went right through his hand.

'' 625! Oh, 625!'', Gantu called.

No response. Gantu remembered what Era said, he can't alter the past. Still he couldn't stop from feeling sorry for his sandwich making companion. The only thing close to comfort 625; Gantu put his hand through the glass and put his hand over his body. He couldn't pat 625 on the back or nothing, nor feel his fur, but it was the closest thing to comfort him, and to be sympathetic to him.

625 still cried in the container, making Gantu shed a tear from his eye,'' I never knew why you were so sarcastic all the time... until now... somebody that actually cared for you.''

Still noble words, but 625 couldn't hear them.

Era was in front of the house watching Jumba shout at Flora, surprised at what's gonna happen next. She gasped, knowing that this was gonna happen. Drooping down her short ears, she turned away. She couldn't tell Gantu what was about to happen overnight... but she had to...
