Ok since many if not, all of you people are probably wondering if Dib did die or lived, here's the finale.
Interior Medical Ward – waiting room:
Gaz is pacing the floor nervously, her father who heard about what happened was to busy and couldn't come personally so he had to use one of his moving monitor thingies, go figure.
"Daughter, you should calm down, your brother will be all right" said Prof. Membrane on the screen,
"No shit, dad" I thought bitterly, I couldn't believe it, he was TOO busy to come and see his only son even after he heard he was probably gonna die, that got me to think if my dad really did love Dib, for all I knew he just wanted him to be the future of his so called great Membrane Empire.
The door to my brother's room opened and a doctor came out and looked at my dad then at me.
"Your brother will be all right little girl" a doctor said as he exited the room Dib was in.
I yelp out of instinct and looked at the doctor a smile on his face, I felt a small smirk on mine.
"Thanks" I said emotionless to the doctor but deep inside I felt like bursting out crying with happiness at the news.
"We were able to put more blood into his body and stitch his stomach" explained the doctor.
"Can I see him?" I asked.
"Yes, meanwhile I can have a word with your father he needs to have some information on Dib's diagnosis" finished the doctor.
Prof. Membrane's monitor hovered to the doctor and they immediately began their conversation.
She enters the room and sees that Dib is sleeping soundly in a bed back against the far wall. The monitors above the head rest are showing vital signs.
Gaz puts a hand on the side of the bed.
"Ngrrgh Dib…you moron, wake up!" I yelled at him, since he was still sleeping that meant he didn't heard me so I punched him in his arm but not very hard.
OW! Yep he's awake.
Dib looks around the room and finally sees his not too happy sister giving him a look that said "What in the blue FUCK were you thinking?"
Gaz?... Where am I?
"In the hospital you know the usual place were you take a dying person to?" I said semi annoyed at my brother, he seemed to be trying not to cry, apparently he DID want to die, and I scowled at the thought.
"Oh"
"Dib, what the hell were you thinking! Did you thought about this before cutting yourself open or are just too retarded to..."
Dib of course wasn't listening "Great just when I want to die she has to come and save my horrible life" he thought bitterly.
He looked at another direction and saw the sun apparently it was morning, "How could a day like this seem so normal"? He said out loud to himself.
Gaz upon hearing his voice became a little raged, lets not forget people, Dib's voice fills his sister with a terrible rage.
"Are you EVEN listening to me! Asked Gaz a little too mad for Dib's liking.
"Why do you care?" he said "I thought you would be THRILLED to be an only child and look at it this way you won't have you annoying older brother who is hated by everyone any longer" He finished his sentence.
I have to admit that did sound very appealing but I couldn't do that, not after what happened to mom, I couldn't bear to lose another family member I thought to myself.
"Dib" I said "Why did you do it?"
"Because my life sucks" He said "I have no friends, I'm unpopular, and my family is constantly ignoring me.
He gave me his best try at a death glare I couldn't help but to roll my eyes.
"I'm constantly saving the world from a criminally insane alien and for WHAT! FOR A BUCH OF ASSHOLES WHO DON'T EVEN APPRECIATE ME?"
"Okkkkkkkkkkk he finally snapped" I thought utterly flabbergasted... But not entirely he did have point, what was the reason he was saving the Earth? Was it because it was his home planet? Because he wanted recognition? No, it had to be something else and I wanted to know why.
"I'm Pathetic" he said.
"Oh, and I suppose killing yourself would have been the best solution to your life?" I asked him in the coldest voice I could make even though I didn't do it to scare him but to make a point.
Dib cringed at the sound of my voice… Ok new plan.
I sighed.
"Dib, you are my brother and even though I HATE you I still don't think I would want to lose you"
I felt like gagging as I said that.
"Oh sure" He said obviously not believing me, Hell I couldn't believe this words were coming out of MY mouth.
"I mean it, would I saved your life if I really did wanted you dead?"
Dib thought about it.
"I guess not" He said as he lowered his big head in shame, then his head lifted and stared at me.
"Waitttttttt a minute if you saved my life that doesn't mean you hate me" He said an evil smirk spreading on his face.
"Huh?" I said, "Great I got cornered" I thought in amusement.
"That would mean that you loveeeeeeeeeeeeee me" He said in the most annoying voice I could ever expect from him.
"Dib you are way too cheerful for someone who almost committed suicide" I told him.
His smirk turned into a smile, Gaz scowl at him.
"Don't change the subject Gaz…. Admit it you saved me because you love me!"
"If Gir was at this exact moment he would be laughing as insanely as the author is right now, man I'm evil.
"If I say it, would you shut the hell up!"
He nodded happily; well at lest he's turning back into his own self again.
"I… "Come on you can say it" I told myself.
Just… "Yes just a little more"
Love… I SCREAMED mentally.
My… "Oh God"
Older… Dib was impatient
"Brother" I spat.
I felt like killing myself as those words came up then the irony of it all hit me.
Gaz came back to reality and noticed Dib's arms were open in the unlikely event of an oncoming hug.
"Don't I get a hug from my sister" He asked.
I rolled my eyes.
"Don't push you luck, I MAY have saved you life but that doesn't mean I won't be beating the shit out of you if you EVER tell this to anyone, specially your space pal, I said knowing that Dib hated the thought of being friends with Zim.
Dib dropped his arms to his side "You do know how to ruin my good mood you know that?"
I laugh "Of course I do"
I immediately got bored with talking to Dib and got out my Game Slave 2 feeling that the conversation went horribly well, I could even call this a bonding moment between brother and sister.
"See? Your life isn't that horrible" I said.
Prof. Membrane's monitor opens the door and enters then glares at Dib.
"Son you'll be just fine in a couple of days… according to what the doctor said but in the meantime your grounded for trying to kill yourself, well good bye"
Before Dib could say anything the monitor goes into static and goes out the window.
"Well at least not always" Gaz said sympathetically.
THE END.
Well how was the second and final chapter? Did you like it? I apologize to all Dib fans out there but I felt that his father wouldn't give him a break, he is that clueless after all to his son's problems in life, so unfortunately for the young boy even if he got reassured that his sister does love him it's bittersweet that he found out under such grim circumstances, no?
Still I am happy with the way this turned out and if any of my ZAGR fans are reading this then I will tell ya that I will eventually post a new fic.
Invader Johnny Signing Off.
