Okay guys sad to say it but this is the real end. I know the last chapter was really sad, so I formulated a better ending. Please read and be a little happier.

What really happened...

Raiden looked at Chris through the small glass window. It's not fair that she has to die.

He dried his tears and walked in, "Hey sweetie."

"Jack..." She said softly and reached for him. He quickly went to her hand and held it tightly. She was so cold and pale.

"How you doing?" He asked with a forced smile. She didn't say anything she just looked at him and smiled, "You're gonna be fine you kno-"

"Jack remember to smile okay." She told him weakly.

"What?" He sat down next to the bed.

She smiled and touched his cheek, "Remember...me an-and smile..."

"I won't have too, your smile will be there to do it for me." He nearly choked that she knew. She knew she was dying.

"I'm glad my last moments are with you..." She whispered softly. He let a tear slide down his cheek, "I'm glad that, Jack?"

"I-I'm here." He stuttered out, "What is it?"

"Ja..ck I..I'm gl...lad I l..l..oved you..." She smiled, breathed in deep and shut her eyes slowly.

Beeeeeep

"...no Chris, no..."

She was in a dark place. It was cold.

"Chris...I need you..."

The grizzle doctor looked at the nurse, "Is he gone?"

"Yes." She replied and left the room making sure that Raiden would not interfere.

"Shaw get out of there with the anitdote!" He shouted as the bathroom door opened and Shaw and Snake appeared.

"Here Charlie." He handed a syringe to the doctor.

Snake was at the end of the bed, "You're sure this is going to work."

Charlie looked at snake, "I'm a real doctor you know! Yes it's going to work."

They had given her a drug that would make it look like she had died but they needed to give her the anidote quickly after or the side effects well...

He pulled down Chris's shirt just enough to poke the needle into her chest. He pulled it out quickly, "She is not going to like that."

Shaw looked at him, "Really? Ya think! Not only has she been shot twice, lost someone she cares about and now you stab her in the chest with a giant needle."

Charlie looked across to Shaw, "Stop being an ass, Shaw."

"Shut up!" Was heard weakly. They all looked at Chris. Her eyes opened slowly and Charlie started to perform the necessary procedure to make sure everything was okay.

"Well you look healthy enough, even with to gun wounds," He sat down, "and a broken heart."

"Please don't start." Chris said tiredly.

Snake touched her shoulder, "Are you sure you want to do this? I'm sure Otacon can help you if you let him."

Chris looked at her hands, "I think it's better if I stay dead." The room was silent.

Chris moved to some clothes at the end of the bed, "Now don't be sad Crystal wasn't exactly the greatest person."

"She was," Snake started and choked, "She was to me."

She looked at him, "I'm sorry for your loss."

Minutes later she walked out of the bathroom fully dressed in a nurses uniform. She fumbled with the mask, "Can someone help me with this?" Shaw stood up and tied it for her the softly hugged her, "Shaw." She was near tears.

"You know it's not often that you get to hug a dead person." He smiled and let her go.

Charlie stepped up next, "It'll be sad knowing my baby sister gone."

"I'll miss you." She hugged him and turned to Snake.

He stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do, until she hugged him, "If it wasn't for you I'd never had a chance to be free from anything. Thank you Uncle Snake."

A smile spread over his face, "I'll miss you more then anything kid, more then anything."

She smiled and backed up to the door, "It was a pleasure all."

She walked down the hall and stopped. He was sitting there broken again. This time it was her fault.

She grabbed a pillow and blanket nearby and walked to him, "Excuse me sir." He looked up at her, "I don't think you're in any condition to get home tonight please rest here."

"Thank you." He took the blanket and pillow.

"If you need anything just ask one of the nurses okay." He nodded to her.

"It's all I can do. It's for the best." She kept telling herself.

"I'm looking for a girl..." Snake was now acting his way through. He seemed as if he really didn't know, so when he started to fall she rushed to him and helped him to a chair.

This was all she could do she had to let them go. Quietly she walked through doors and onto the street, alone and free.

Chris watched the funeral from a distance. No one new she was there, not even the clever Snake.

She wasn't suprized that Shaw and Charlie weren't there. After all they knew the truth. She was sure that Sara would've been there but school had started. Her mother would definately send something to Snake. Probably food, she's met him and noticed how he eats.

"I wouldn't blame him! I'd eat too if I destroyed giant nucular warfare junk." She thought to herself.

It was strange watching your friends and loved ones say good-bye. She thought it wrong of her to chuckle at some of them, but it was so weird.

Finally the crowd disappeared and it was only Raiden, no, Jack. Eventually, he left too.

"Ms. Beverly?" She turned to her assistant.

"Yes, Missy, what is it?" Beverly asked.

"I don't mean to intrude, but you have a concert to perform in less then two hours and you know how your manager is." Missy was a young girl starting in music.

"Yes of corse lets go." She smiled and looked behind one last time to say good bye.

"You know I can't believe I'm working with a famous musician." Missy exclaimed.

"Yea me neither."

Hey she was dead, that didn't mean theycouldn't meet again under different circumstances.
