~Garry~

Mary and I have been fighting for Ib's rose, but now I'm stuck in this gigantic ugly blue dolls hands.

My eyes widened in terror as it opened it's mouth and I got inched slowly towards it. "Hahahahahaha!! See Ib! NOW we can be together FOREVER!" Mary laughed evily.

"...N...o" Ib quietly said before passing out.

Right then a sharp object poked my chest. That's right! I picked up a sharp object earlier when I fixed Ib's wound! I exclaimed in my head.

I took it out and immediately stabbed the blue dolls red button eye. It screeched it pain and released me while disintegrating.

I turned to Mary who's face had pure anger written everywhere. I smirked slightly when I realized this was my chance to bring out the 'Other Garry'.

(The Other Garry is the delusional Garry in the game. His mind was basically shut off and Ib was only able to get him back by slapping him.)

I focused on shutting off my emotions and then half of my mind, just so I can come back.

"Here we.... go..." I breathed out.

Finally. I felt my emotions go numb. "Heh..... heheheh... aha..... hahahah. That's funny." I laughed as I heard the voices around me laughing and talking.

"You should attack her." One of them encouraged me.
"No no, don't." The other discouraged me.
"But what'll happen to Ib?" The first one asked.
"Oh, that's right. Yeah, attack her." The second one changed sides and agreed.

"Hehehe okay..." I responded as I swung at Mary, cutting just below her cheekbone. "Wh-" Her angered look was now replaced with confusion.

It was two hours after I finally done it. I killed Mary. I focused on bringing back the normal me.

Concentration is key this time.

Finally. I stood up and picked Ib up bridal style again. I ran into the next room and, lucky for me, there was a vase.

I dipped Ib's rose in it and the once dying rose was now beautiful and full again.

Ib opened her eyes slowly, "Garry?" She groaned, her voice raspy. I beamed once I knew she remembered me. "Thank God." I breathed as I hugged her.

"Ready to get out? Back to our world?" I asked.

"Yea!" She beamed.

"Alright, follow me."

She grabbed her rose and took my hand. We ran out to the longest painting in the gallery. It's frames were off and it was shining brightly. "You first, Miss Ib." I bowed politely and watched as she stepped through the painting.

~Ib~

I entered back to the world I lived in and waited for Garry.

Finally. He jumped out of the painting. "Garry!" I exclaimed as I hugged him tightly. He laughed softly and hugged me back, resting his head on top of mine.

Oh how I loved when he did that.

"Ib! There you are. We've been looking for you everywhere!" Mom rushed up to me, "Who're you?" My father glared at Garry.

"Pardon me, I'm Garry. Ib's close friend." He said with a sweet smile as he held out his hand to my father.

My dad shook his hand and so did my mother. "Nice to meet you, Garry. But we have to go now. It's almost dinner time." My mom said.

"Oh okay, 'twas a pleasure meeting you." Garry said as he waved goodbye.

It was a gentle way home. I was sitting outside on the grass thinking about everything that happened.

Why would Mary do all of that? Who created her? Will Garry and I still meet? What if Mary isn't really dead, can she come back here? If she can will she want revenge?

These questions flowed through my head relentlessly.

Suddenly I heard the fire alarm go off inside and the screams of my mother. "OH MY GOD!!" Was her first scream.

"M.. MOM!!" I screamed as I stepped inside.

Gazing upon the biggest fire in my life, it spread so fast. I could still hear the agonizing screams of my mother. "NOO!! MOM!!" I screeched as I saw her laying on the floor, her skin bubbling up and eventually burning away.

I could hear my fathers screams in the next room, I somehow knew the fire reached him. He wasn't going to get out either.

I ran out the house and into the middle of the street covering my ears and falling to my knees. Tears were quickly falling onto the pavement.

I heard the sirens of the fire trucks and they soon arrived. "Little girl, are you ok? You're not hurt?" One of them asked me while the others put out the fire. "I'm.... f-fine." I quietly said as more tears streamed down my face.

Then I remembered what Garry whispered into my ear before my mom came. He said, If you ever need me just go to the park and scream my name as loud as you possibly can.

"Hey mister, can you take me to the park? I need to meet someone there." I asked.

"I don't know..." He said

"Please?" I begged.

".....Sure..... I'll make it clear to the others, ok?" He smiled at me.

"Thanks!" I smiled.

They took me to the park and once they left I took a deep breath. "...GARRYYYYY!!!!" I screamed.

I saw one house turn their lights on right after. It took a little while before a tall figure walked out.

It stood there for a little bit before running over to me. "Ib? What's wrong?" The familiar voice asked me.

Tears filled my eyes, "Garry...." I whispered.

I began to tell Garry everything that happened.

"O-Oh, Ib, I'm so sorry. You can live with me, if you'd like." He offered.

I gladly accepted and hugged him. I grabbed his hand and we walked in.
