Heaven.....is this what it's like? So what happened to going to Hell?
Before Jimmy knew it, he was on top of several clouds in a beautiful looking place. He didn't see any angels, but the beauty was still amazing. It was strange....he didn't feel anymore misery...or confusion. He felt like he had finally found his calm.
And standing right before him was a hooded figure, all clad in black robes gripping a bloody scythe in bony hands. This figure didn't belong here. Death wasn't supposed to be in Heaven. "Well hello, James".
Jimmy supposed he was supposed to feel scared. He figured he was supposed to be begging for his life. But he wasn't. He felt no fear as he smiled at the hooded figure and replied with, "Hey".
The figure glided closer to him. "D-E-A-T.....H. Death is the name. But I suppose you're smart enough to have figured that out already, yes?". Jimmy nodded. "Well, I suppose you're waiting for your final punishment, right?".
Jimmy let out a calm sigh. "Yeah....I'm ready". The figure chuckled. "Your final punishment isn't really a punishment towards YOU. But more or less a punishment to everyone else. You've felt the pain that they have. Now it's you're opportunity to get them back. But you have to make the decision yourself. This punishment is called "Agony/Ecstasy" for a reason, Jimmy. Agony is where you decide to reign a bloodthirsty rule as a poltergeist and you forever haunt the lives of every pathetic imbecile for whom has caused you misfortune in your life. And Ecstasy....well....that's where you leave them to their lives without you. Let them completely forget that Jimmy Hopkins ever existed and that the mere memory of you is simply nothing but a figment of somebody's imagination. You would have never existed. Nobody would miss you because you never were. So....what will it be, James? Agony or Ecstasy?".
Jimmy was stumped. He had no clue what to choose. Surely he'd want Petey to remember him....but at what cost? If Petey's future was to be with Gary Smith, Jimmy wanted to make sure he was there to protect him whenever Gary would neglect his medication.
"Just between you and me, James....I'd choose Agony. At least everybody would remember you! And Gary would be back in Happy Volts in a heartbeat!". Jimmy did see the point in Death's suggestion. He truly hated Gary Smith with every fiber in his system. But he loved Petey more.
"I choose Ecstasy". Death gasped and floated closer to Jimmy's face. "A-are you sure? Everybody's going to completely forget about you!". Jimmy nodded.
"I may hate Gary Smith with all of my heart, but if he makes Petey happy.....I can't bare to break them apart. I want Petey to be happy...even if it means a life without me. Russell's heart would then fully belong to Troy....Pinky could be with Tad since he obviously wants her happy......Candy wouldn't have to come home disappointed because of her loser godfather killing himself.....my mom wouldn't have a son that let her down all the time....and Petey wouldn't have to ever worry about me ever again. My death has caused so much misery.....I want them to forget about the pain I caused them. So if me never existing is what it takes for people to be happy.....I'm willing". Death was in shock. He'd NEVER seen somebody that chose Ecstasy. Every other of his clients always chose Agony.
This boy has learned a lot from this.....I admire his wisdom.
"Very well, James". Death lifted his scythe and a white beam flashed onto his blade. Even though Jimmy was expecting to be forgotten, Death just couldn't have that happen. Even Death had a heart, too.

The last chapter's coming up next.....:(
Lol, random thought......you'd think that the way the economy is right now that people would't care so much about the things that they both don't need and can't afford. Well, in my Government class, I heard this guy going something like, "I fucking hate my dad! I'll I fucking asked for was a car and he wouldn't get me one! That bastard doesn't love me!!". XD ROFL! Also my best friend was angry at her mother for not buying her something from Hot Topic....... Am I the only poor person around here?
