Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Do you know where the firemen came from?" Buzzkid24 asked those who listened, "They weren't always there. Not like it says in the manuals. Books started to become a big thing after the civil war, they boomed until the world knew that all they did was make you unhappy. If you can keep everyone happy, especially the minorities, you can have peace. The Black people don't like Little Black Sambo burn it. Uncle Tom's Cabin makes white people uncomfortable, burn it. Someone wrote a book about the affects of smoking on the lungs and the cigarette companies are crying, burn it. Serenity, that's what it's all about."

The other Gaians stared, mouths ajar at Buzz's strange ramblings.

"What is he talking about?" someone asked.

Buzz stood suddenly. He marched down the steps of the house they were all standing at. He stood on the sidewalk. Curiously, the others followed him. He stood staring at the ground. Just when someone was going to ask him what was wrong, he turned and looked up to the top story of the house, glaring.

"Just do it already!" He cried, "I'm waiting for it!"

The other Gaians gasped and looked to the window. Just as soon as they looked, they saw a flash of metal and a shot pierced the air around them. They all looked down to see Buzz, shot through the neck, gasping as he drowned on his own blood pooling around him on the ground.

"The Sniper's in that house!" they all cried. But before they could get up to the house, they all gasped to see Merriweather standing at the door frame of the house.

"Merriweather!" they gasped.

"We have you now Merriweather!" someone else shouted.

All Merriweather did was sit there with a sadistic grin on her face. In one hand she held her rifle, in the other, she held a small wooden stick. Not just a stick, a match.

It was then that the Gaians noticed the smell of Kerosene coming from the house.

"RUN!" someone shouted. They all turned to run as Merriweather struck the match against the door frame. The house exploded into a burst of flame and Merriweather's insane laughing could be heard for miles.

Inside the house, the books all around Merriweather burned. Book pages flying up into the air to join the rest of the ash. Merriweather and the books became one.

As the Gaians picked themselves up, they felt themselves being pulled away from the crazed Sniper and the burning house. The world around them faded and was replaced by the world the Gaians all knew and loved. The library.

Suddenly, a large flushing noise was heard and all above them water and bodies fell. All of the Gaians who had been jailed were dropped back into the library with tons and tons of water, some other strange looking characters, and a large whale.

"Good job citizens!" Aqua Man congratulated, "We've done it!"

"Yeah," I guess we did, someone said, smiling.











The burning building in front of him continued on, crackling down and finally collapsed in on itself. Buzz still lay on the ground, slowly slipping away. Finally, he was gone.

He felt a floating sensation, moving himself away from his body. Everything was dark, but warm. Suddenly, a strange apparition appeared before him, at first he couldn't recognize her, but as she grew closer, Buzz realized who she was.

"Cherry?" Buzz asked, remembering the girl from the library who died first.

"Yes Buzz," Cherry said, "It seems as though you bit the bullet."

"You could say that," Buzz replied.

"I see," Cherry said, pulling out a large, hammer-like item.

"What's that for?" Buzz asked, worriedly.

"I've been waiting for you Buzz," Cherry said, a devilish grin spreading across her face.

"What? What are you doing??" he cried

"I'm about to Ban you back to Gaia, where you will stay for all eternity as a ghost," She said, grinning evily.

"WHY?" Buzz cried, trying to float away.

"FOR HITTING ON MY BOYFRIEND!" Cherry cried as she swung the hammer, bringing it down right on Buzz, sending him to eternal damnation.
