Chapter 12- Moments

llllllllllllllllllllll

A/N: I only own so many things. Read through the list for me.

A warning for Gumi cursing in this chapter.

((Terezi BlindedCherry Pyrope: Good, then, that'll save Gumi time to do... whatever she's doing in there. *points to Gumi's dressing room* She gets really pissed off when I ask her to come out, you'd think I'd murdered someone.

{Well, maybe I did the one time.}

Probably not, but Miki's (the judge) just selfish, and if you couldn't guess who her beau was, then... just know, I paired Miki and Oliver because there are really so many character spots open in this story. *:3*

It is? It's not a random scrap of paper on the site?

Now that I can truly believe. Twilight needs re-written. I mean, the Host wasn't that bad, but Twilight... *shudders* I didn't even get past the first page.

Here you go, super-short chappy. But just for that, you get a new, super-polished Chappy 1! :P))

[[snailing along:Yeah, she's like me there. I said f*** at school when we were testing, but thankfully nobody really noticed. XDXD

Hmmm... that'll be next chappy, so keep on your tippy-toes...

Yep, they are. :3]]

{{WonderRin: No, I'm not mad. I'm just relieved that you didn't get killed by a rabid squirrel or an escaped tiger or mountain lion. :3 (there is a mountain lion loose in my area, so I'd better watch out)

Yeah, I know, I wish I was too..}}

Go check out the updated Chappy 1!

Enjoy.

lllllllllllllllllllllll

I was tired and crying by the time I reached the door. Slamming in the keys, I entered the passcode and ran through the diamond passage.

Piko was grimacing.

"It didn't end well, I suspect."

"Fuck no, it didn't."

"Gumi, don't cuss."

"I have every fucking right to do so."

"So... verdict is.."

"You're getting murdered and I get to live in my river of tears."

"Well, too bad."

"Too bad? I get to live and cry, whereas you get to die and enjoy peace!"

"Gumi, lay down for a moment."

"No!" I was hysterical by now, crying, releasing a bit of pent-up agner.

"Gumi-"

"Don't make me! You're going to die and I can't even die with you!"

Tears fell as I crumpled under the sheer hopelessness of the situation.

"Gumi..." Then, I remembered a movie. A certain movie.

"There is a way for me to die.."

"Gumi, you are not doing suicide. That's tramua for me."

His words were like a whiplash, hard and cold.

"I-...I-"

"Gumi, don't even think about it."

And then, his face was right up against mine. Touching. Warmth.

A drug to counter-act all the sadness.

That's what my first kiss feels like.

Warm, soothing, and relaxing. I soon melted into it, a gauzy, beautiful world of warm clouds. I feel like I'm flying, lost in the air. My head is spinning drowsily, and I see a bright flash through my eyelids. When, multiple hours later, he backs out, I remember it all.

"Piko, I-"

"Don't even think about it." Footsteps. My heart sunk, and I shook with fear.

"P-Piko, you have to go through all of this because of-"

"It was my fault."

"I would- would have-"

"I still would have defended you with my life."

"But-but-"

"Don't pity me." The officers stormed in, snatching me up, ignoring Piko entirely.

"They- have no right to do this to you, you were just defending me-" I was trying to escape, I didn't want it to end yet-

"They have every right, Gumi...

...after all, they are the government, right?"

And then, I was blocked from seeing anymore by the passageway, which began closing behind me.

Fate was cruel to us.
