Note: I'm sorry it took so long to update, this time I blame writers block. And I'm sorry to all those people whose stories I've added to my c2 I'm so BEHIND but I WILL get to it. (Just ask my family they know…) And I'm sorry to those people whose stories I added to my favorites list I WILL read them PROMISE! (I don't lie.)

Rudy grabbed the metal file from under his bed and put it straight to his throat. He was about to do something serious when a thought accord his mind. Maybe Snap is better. He hadn't been there for a couple of days, and it is said Chalk heals faster than humans, at least that is what Penny thought. Maybe it is true. Maybe he is o.k. and will be here for me. If not then… I don't know… So he walked up to the Chalkboard and entered the dangerous wilderness of Chalkzone, he was greeted by Queen Rapsheba.

"I am so, so sorry." She said as she knelt her head down and placed her hand upon his shoulder. "But it will all work out in the end. There is a work going on here, we are just not sure what."

Rudy had no idea what she was talking about. "What do you mean?" He said doubtfully.

"I mean, all these bad things, they're happening for a purpose, a purpose that will someday be known. It will all work out for good in the end."

"I hope so." Rudy said rather hopelessly. There was a pause.

"I am going to the hospital to see Snap now."

Queen just looked at him compassionately and patted him on the back. She walked away. By her reaction, Rudy was expecting bad news, but deep down inside, he hoped there was not. God knows what would happen to him if something even worse happened to Snap. Snap was like… his son. He understood the love between parent and child. That love was beating a fast toll and he kicked his old chalk- electric scooter into high gear and beat it toward the chalk hospital. When he finally got there he ran toward the receptionists desk. He braced himself.

"Can I please see Snap White?" A look of fear went through his face. The receptionists answered frankly.

"He is not here anymore."

"He got out? He is all better?" Rudy tried to keep the joy out of his face. Then the receptionist glazed a look of compassion and took him by the hand.

"He is not in this world anymore." She said sadly.

"WHAT? I THOUGHT CHALK COULD NEVER DIE!" Rudy blurted out. A look of terror and sadness wiped over his face.

"It can." The receptionist said in her compassionate, Boston style accent. She cupped his hand.

"Where do they go?" Rudy started to weep now.

"You know they come alive in Chalkzone, right?" She said.

"Yes, of course."

"Well, that means they get souls, right?"

"Of course." All Rudy could do was agree.

"Well, then that means they go to the same place you or I go: Heaven or Hell." She uncapped his hand. "Do you understand now?" She said gently.

"Of course." Rudy walked a little away. "Thank you for being so kind to me."

"You are welcome." She said gently. Rudy walked out of the hospital.

Thoughts were racing through Rudy's head. Did Snap go to Heaven? Of course he had to go to Heaven, I mean all he was ever trying to do was make people happy, and get rid of the bad guys. Snap was a guy God would love to have in Heaven. Always telling jokes and funny stories. Making him smile. He would love that. Of course Snap went to Heaven.

But it did not matter now. Nothing mattered now. Snap was not with him, Penny was soon to leave him. He could not stand to live anymore. I mean, he had a few side friends like Joe and Taylor, but he did not have his two best friends anymore. Life sucks, no it reeks, no it is just plain Fish!

Rudy got home, into his room and started crying out a storm. The dam had broken. He took his file again. This time it was serious.
