*AFTER NOTE: It's not my best. *shrug* I liked the idea, but didn't do too well. If anyone wants to rewrite it, be my guest, just give me credit for the idea and go to town!*
was looking through some of my old fic ideas
and one of them sparked (No pun intended)
Guess I'm in a writing mood today.

Gibson had had it with his brother's sulking! He hadn't been himself since the Fire of Hate!
Gibson finally knocked on SPRX's door, determined to talk his brother out of this horrible state. When there was no response, Gibson's emotions got the better of him and he burst the door open.
SPRX looked up, very startled.
"SPRX!" Gibson blurted out "Please stop sulking over it! It wasn't your fault and you're hurting everyone!"
Gibson stared at SPRX in shock of himself.
SPRX looked away sadly.
"It was my fault though" SPRX said queitly.
Gibson felt his emotions rise again, but held them in a bit better this time around.
"You weren't yourself." Gibson explained calmly.
SPRX's head shot back around. It startled Gibson. It was the most emotion he'd shown since before the indecent.
"Everyone keeps telling me that!" he said, he's voice raised a tad.
SPRX stood up and looked directly at Gibson.
Gibson kept looking back at him, expecting an answer.
"I was myself." He said plainly.
"That's not true-" Gibson started.
"IT WAS MY HEAD! I'D THINK I'D KNOW!" SPRX screamed
Gibson stayed quiet again.
SPRX calmed down and sat on his bed.
"The fire...it wasn't...what you guys thought it was." SPRX said.
"Then tell me what it really was!" Gibson said, sitting down next to his brother.
SPRX sighed.
"None of that was made up! The fire didn't...It just..." SPRX said carefully "...It wasn't possessing me. It more of...clung to a part of me I didn't know was there."
Gibson gave him a puzzled look. SPRX sighed.
"Everything I said..." SPRX gulped "I meant it."
"Of course you didn't!" Gibson insisted
SPRX shook his head.
"No! I did! Part of me really does hate you guys that much! Most of me loves you all, but there's still that part...I know it's in there now, and it's scaring me!" SPRX said
Gibson was speechless.
"It didn't posses me. It kind of, put most of me to sleep, and let that one part, the dark part, the part that hates everyone, run rampage It's uncomfortable knowing that deep down, there's a part of me that's like that! That could do that! Honestly, I wasn't thinking of how you heal me when I'm sick, or save me in fights, I was thinking of how you push me to my limits, and never let me be right about anything, and how you get so egotistical sometimes, that I just want to-" SPRX started ranting, but stopped sort and looked away "...well...You kind of saw that rest of that sentence."
Gibson kept looking at SPRX, hoping for a better answer than what he was hearing.
"Well...I used to not even know that was in there! I used to think I just had my issues, but loved you guys! It was easier to be a hero when I thought I was one." SPRX sighed again "But I feel more like a villain now. That was me Gibson! I did that! All of it!"
"No heart is ever pure, there is a shadow behind every light. Everyone has their dark corners, but the important thing, is that we don't let that darkness overcome our light." Antauri said from the doorway.
SPRX looked at him blankly, surprised at his presence.
"If you had said that sooner, we would of stopped saying you weren't yourself." Antauri announced as he left.
I felt like ending it there
because...I don't know...Rainbow crystal bunny hoppers?
=_= Where's my bed?
