Disclaimer: I own nothing from Invader Zim.
A/N: Hello, and welcome to this story. This is my first story I have written, and as such, if you feel the need to write a flame please keep it light and constructive. I won't listen to people telling me what to write, as I want MY story to be my OWN. Not to say I won't listen to suggestions. If you have an idea let me hear it, and we'll see what happens. Remember, this is a Gir x Mimi fanfiction, in which Mimi and Tak end up back on Earth, with no way out. Also, I'll be including Zim x Gaz here and there. So, if you don't like that you should be reading something else, hm? Anyway, if you're going to read this, please, read and review. Please? Have fuuuun!
Chapter 1
*SSSLUURRP!*
Zim's expression changed to that of a frown.
*SSSSLLUUURRRP!*
Zim's eye twitched.
*SSSSSSLLLUUUUUURRRRP!*
"AAAAAAAAAHHH!" Zim yelled in frustration, "Gir, Is it really necessary for you to make so much NOISE while drinking out of that cursed CUP?"
Gir looked up in surprise. He continued to stare at his master for an additional 10 seconds, as if he had been asleep and was still waking up.
"Well!" Zim exclaimed, waiting impatiently for his minion's reply.
Gir looked down, then immediately turned his head to look back at Zim, taking in a deep breath before saying, "I DON'T KNOOOOOW!" Gir was then distracted by the TV again, which was playing the Crazy Monkey Show, and quickly lost himself in the images…or so it seemed.
"But…" Zim sighed, deciding to drop the subject, in favor of avoiding becoming even more exhausted, reluctantly turning his head back to the show. "THAT monkey…" Zim mumbled as the show carried on.
Gir, however, was surprisingly, not paying a cent of attention to the show. Instead his mind was drifting to the recent events that had transpired earlier that same day. These events consisted of another irken dubbed Tak, who had attempted to steal Zim's job, but ultimately failing because Gaz and Gir had been able to make Tak's SIR unit, Mimi, go haywire. 'I feel funny…' Gir thought as he was thinking about the day. 'But…but it's not all the time! Just when I think about today…..' It was clear the little SIR was in distress, 'maybe if I try reeeaally hard, I can know what's wrong…' So, he did. Gir had it narrowed down even more about 30 minutes later. 'Okay…..so I feel funny when Tak showed she was one of the greeny people, and the part where we met with Tak in her base, when I got off of the big headed puppy-smelling person. And…and ESPECIALLY the part where my head fell off, cause of the nice Mimi.' Gir felt like he was on the verge of discovery, and just when he thought he had it…
"GIR!"
The loud shout startled Gir, who promptly flew from the couch and accomplished a fantastic face plant to the floor. "Floor?" Gir asked, still disoriented from being shocked out of his deep thoughts….and from hitting the ground.
Zim stared in confusion for a moment, still wary of his minion's sober attitude. He shook his unease off quickly, however, and proceeded with his announcement, "I'm heading down to the lab. I wish to see how that squid is behaving with a human brain, as I haven't checked in quite some time. Also….. Zim is having troubling thoughts, and needs to relax. That said, be sure no one, NO ONE GIR, enters the base. Do you understand?"
By this time, Gir was sitting upright and listening. "Uh huh…..Oh, um, Yes Sir!" Gir replied flashing red as he said 'yes sir'.
"Good….." Zim said uncertainly, too much on his mind to truly care about Gir's slip in character. "I'll leave you to it." With that, Zim took the toilet down to the lab.
Gir simply sat on the floor, still hung up on his weird feelings. "Ooooo! Maybe some pizza will help!" With that, Gir disregarded Zim's 'not let anyone come here' policy in favor of a late night cheesy meal.
"GGRRRAAAAAAHHH!" An angry shout blasted through the empty night, located in a heavily forested area, where a thin contrail of smoke rose lazily into the night sky. "I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! YOU MUST BE JOKING!" A female irken shrieked, repeatedly punching the frame of what was once an escape pod, while her SIR was standing off to the side not quite believing the cause of how they ended up back here either.
'Really' the bot thought, 'what are the chances of a LIVE CHICKEN flying through space at speeds fast enough to beat even the fastest irken cruiser, and then said chicken actually COLLIDING with the lone escape pod attempting to get to irken space and conveniently sending the pod to the exact same place it had just left.' The SIR unit pondered this for a moment. 'About 0.000000001 to NONE.' It thought darkly.
"Mimi!"
Upon hearing its name, the SIR wasted no time in diverting all its attention to its master, slapping a smart salute to her forehead, eyes bathed in red.
Apparently having vented all of her anger, Tak stood tall and proud, presenting the image of a great invader...whose previous plan had been a total disaster. She then began to speak. "Unfortunately, through a terrible series of events we're now stuck on this ball of dirt the humans call 'Earth'." Tak summarized, clearly displeased. "But that doesn't mean I don't have a plan, however little it is." She said as she reached into the escape pod for something. Mimi was wondering what she might be getting, but continued to stand at attention.
'Like a good SIR….' Mimi thought sadly. Mimi was not stupid. Though Tak had not mentioned it, it was entirely her own fault that Tak's plan had not gone without a hitch; she was the one who had gone berserk and caused Tak to lose in the fight with Zim. 'I…..feel bad about it.' Mimi thought.
Mimi was brought out of her thoughts as Tak approached her, a small disk-like object in her hand. "I'm going to go establish a new base, maybe something a little less conspicuous. However stupid Zim might be he will be more wary to…..obvious structures." Tak admitted, grudgingly. "I have another plan for you, here, take this," Tak commanded, passing Mimi the disk, "That is a voice unit. You will need it for your duty."
Mimi looked at the device, surprised Tak was allowing her to have one. Before, she'd said that such a device was unnecessary, unneeded to perform her tasks. Mimi quickly installed the disk, before Tak changed her mind. Mimi, who had gone so long without a voice, felt privileged to have it. "What will you have me do master?" Mimi inquired with a robotic but decidedly feminine voice, secretly jumping for joy in her mind but keeping cool in her outward appearance.
"Ah, it appears to be functioning properly…" Tak noted before briefing Mimi. "Mimi, I need you to go to Zim's base."
Mimi couldn't hold back a surprised reply, "What? Zim's base? But, but aren't we his enemies? He'll dismantle me! I can't!"
Tak held up her hand, a silencing gesture, to which Mimi reacted to immediately. "You did not let me finish, Mimi." Tak plainly said her purple eyes boring into Mimi's also purple but slightly lighter robotic ones. "You will not confront Zim. I just want you to get in his base."
"How? I'll be noticed by security, his base is still…." Mimi exclaimed, not wanting to be put in a position with no protection.
Again Tak held up a hand. "Mimi. Let. Me. Finish." Tak interrupted sternly, to which Mimi silenced herself. "Now," Tak started, letting out a sigh, "I do want you to confront, however, Zim's faulty SIR, what was it…..right! Gir! Meet with him." Tak finished, smiling to herself.
Mimi was confused. What good would that do? "But…." Mimi began, but was cut off by Tak.
"I know what you're going to say, and let me elaborate." Tak said, deciding that if Mimi were to take care of the mission confidently, she needed a full readout. "Gir is stupid. I could tell in the short time I saw him….."
'That's true.' Mimi thought, 'he wasn't bright, maybe even dumb, but I think that made him kinda cu…' Mimi's eyes widened. 'What did I just think! No, he's stupid, that's it.' She reassured herself, banishing her rogue thoughts. Mimi had been having strange thoughts recently most likely caused by the wireless link she had with Gir for a short time, giving her 'free thought' so to speak, instead of being a mindless drone. Of course, no one even thought about that.
"So!" Tak announced, most likely to finish her explanation, "confront Gir. Living with Zim must be lonely….so, maybe he wants a 'friend'." Tak stated as she made air quotes with her hands. "Next, convince the inadequate bot that Zim can't discover your presence. We both know what would happen THEN." Tak continued, emphasizing the last word to promote caution.
Mimi shivered.
"Your base reason for being there is to gather information and make sure Zim is not aware you or I are still on this HORRIBLE planet." She said, spite filling the disgraced irken's voice. "At my current state, and it pains me to say this, even someone as low as Zim would be able to dispatch me…." Tak lowered her head, ashamed at the fact.
"Master…." Mimi mumbled, not at all happy with seeing her master's disheartened attitude.
"Here." Tak said, giving Mimi an oval shaped object with an antenna on one corner, resembling a radio. "This is an L.R.S.C, meaning, Long Range Stealth Communicator. They were used for deep cover missions. Which happens to be what you're doing." Tak elaborated, quickly showing Mimi how to use it. "Just press this green button to set up a communication channel, and let go to disconnect the call. The red button is for emergencies. You press it, and I'll come as soon as I can. Just make sure you keep it with you at all times. Understand?" Tak finished, looking at Mimi expectantly.
"Yes Ma'am!" Mimi responded, hand flying to her forehead in a salute.
"Alright then Mimi, it's time for you to begin your mission. Ready?" Tak asked solemnly.
Color turning red, Mimi responded.
"Yes."
Zim, now in his lab, was comfortably watching the screen which was displaying live feed of chickens being launched into space. He looked hard at the screen as he pressed a large red button to the side of him again, a red dot flying through space and eventually out of observation range.
Elsewhere, on the Massive…
"Seriously, that's the seventh one!" Purple moaned, his arms waving about as he observed a cleaner drone attempting to scrape off the splattered form of a chicken off the windshield (A/N Even if there's no wind in space).
"Come on Purple," Red said in a smug tone, leaning against the glass, "aren't you being just a little…"
WHAM!
"AAAHH!" Red yelled as another chicken splattered against the glass directly where his head was, "Are we under attack!" Red panicked, looking about randomly, turning to see Purple laughing at him.
"AH HA HA HA HA!" Purple laughed, pointing at Red as he simultaneously ate a burrito.
"Oh shut up…." Red mumbled, turning to watch the cleaning drone.
WHAM!
"NNNOOOOOOOO!" Purple yelled in agony, falling to his knees dramatically, as another chicken was added to the windshield.
Back at Zim's lab…..
Zim pressed the button absentmindedly again as another chicken was launched. "Huh…." Zim mumbled, thinking deeply, "why does that HUMAN girl known as…"
BLEEEEEEEP!
"What?" Zim exclaimed, immediately running for the elevator, startled from his thoughts. "The doorbell! I told Gir to keep EVERYONE OUT!" Zim said to himself, elevator doors closing behind him. He was still for a few moments before….. "Why is this elevator so SLOW!"
A few minutes earlier…
Gir sat watching TV. That's what it looked like to an outside observer, anyway. In truth, Gir was in deep, concentrated thought.
"Hmmmm….." Gir mumbled, diverting his eyes to the floor to absolve him of outside distraction. "I don't get it….. I feel sssssoooooooooo funny…..Gir whined, the feeling almost making him sick. "I want to stop thinking about today….but I also don't…" Gir argued with himself. "I'm ssssooooooo confused….."
DING DONG!
Gir looked up. "Doorbell?" He asked no one in particular, but nonetheless got up to answer it.
"Heeeellooooo. Whooooo's theeeerrrre?" he inquired, just before opening the door. And open the door Gir did, only to come face to face with…
Mimi.
'Oooooh…. What if someone sees me?' Mimi thought worriedly as she waited at the door, undisguised. 'I can't be seen like this….' Mimi looked about warily, so focused on watching for other humans she had failed to notice the door had opened.
"Mimi?"
Mimi turned around quickly, only to find Gir staring at her, an unreadable expression on his face. But Mimi found she had not planned anything to say. "Oh! Um, uh, Hi, Gir…..it's been a while…." Mimi greeted, but then thought, 'Idiot! It hasn't even been a day since you cut off his….oh. Yeah. Maybe I should apologize for that…..'
Suddenly Gir's face achieved a huge smile. "HI MIMI!" Gir practically yelled, waving his hand frantically despite the fact Mimi was only a few feet away.
"Um, Gir, sorry about the whole 'cutting off your head' thing…." Mimi apologized, remembering she had to be his friend.
"OH YEAH! It's okay. We can still be friends! Here, want to come inside with meeeeee?" Gir asked, hoping she would say yes. It felt good to have the only other robot that was a SIR, like him, to be friends with. After all, she hadn't attacked him yet! THAT, and Gir is, as everyone knows, extremely optimistic.
"Um…" Mimi stalled, not expecting Gir to be THIS welcoming, and forgetting what to say for a few moments.
"PUH-LEEEEAAASSSE?" Gir begged, slapping his hands together in a pleading gesture, hoping beyond hope she would accept.
"Yeah…..sure….I guess…." Mimi replied, truly baffled by this clearly malfunctioning SIR unit to the point she didn't know what to say. 'What's wrong with him?' she thought to herself.
"YAY! Come on! We can go to the couch!" Gir exclaimed, running to that very place, gesturing for Mimi to follow.
However uncertainly, she did. Mimi climbed up on the couch next to Gir, finally thinking of what she would say, "Hey, Gir, I…."
"Want some pizza?" Gir asked, pulling a slice of just that from his head, smiling generously.
"Wha…" Mimi mumbled, appalled that Gir had just pulled the cheesy food out of his head.
"Go on! It's good!" Gir declared, urging her to take some, pulling out another slice from his head for himself.
"O-Okay…..thanks?" She said/asked. He was just so weird. SIRs didn't need to eat! But, there was no reason to be rude. After all, SIRs were, at least, capable of eating. 'This is the first time I've eaten anything.' Mimi recalled. 'Well, here goes.' Mimi took a bite. "AH! This is so GOOD!" Mimi exclaimed, immediately taking another bite.
"Told you so!" Gir announced childishly, his mouth area already covered in cheese. "But y'know the pizza is even BETTER if you dunk it in chocolate pudding!" Gir informed her eagerly.
"Chocolate pudding?" Mimi asked, wondering why Gir said this, chalking it up to his idiotness until looking to her left and finding that he was, indeed, dunking his pizza in chocolate pudding.
"You should try!" Gir said, turning to Mimi with a smile still plastered on his face. After all, here was a person, well, robot who had not stopped talking to him or attempted to vacate the area after talking to him for a few minutes. Now THAT was an accomplishment in his book.
At this time, Mimi failed to notice a green X pop up with words following it that said, Achievement Unlocked: Loudmouth: Talk to Gir for more than 2 minutes!
Mimi tried to contain her laughter; Gir's cheese and pudding covered face was just too funny!
"Mimi? Why is your hand over your mouth?" Gir asked, head tilting, causing a fascinating amount of pizza cheese and chocolate pudding to cascade off of his face; so much, in fact, that Professor Membrane would consider it REAL SCIENCE to study just how all that cheese and pudding was able to fit on the little robot's face.
Mimi couldn't handle it, "Mmph! Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Hee hee!" Mimi continued to laugh for a few more seconds. 'He's just sooo CUTE!' She thought through her laughter.
In the meantime, Gir realized that this robot, in front of him, actually ENJOYED being with him! "YAY! I'M FUNNY!" Gir exclaimed, turning and hugging Mimi as tight as possible, without causing harm. "YAY!"
Mimi, on the other hand, blushed a deep red (if that was even possible) at being hugged liked this by another SIR that was programmed and made as a male SIR unit. Regardless of how unintentionally the tallest did so.
And the weird thing? She LIKED it.
But of course, like all other moments like this, they were destined to be interrupted. This particular interruption took on the form of Zim.
"GIR! What's going on over there!" Zim asked/yelled from the kitchen, having heard the bot's shouting.
"Ooooo! Mimi! We can go see master!" Gir exclaimed, pulling away, but keeping his hands on her shoulders. He looked into her eyes, but instead of seeing happiness, he saw fear. "What's wrong?" Gir asked innocently.
"Gir, listen. Zim CAN'T KNOW I'M HERE!" Mimi emphasized, looking into Gir's eyes, hoping he would understand.
"But….." Gir objected, "why not?" He finished, looking at her, obviously confused.
"Because he'll dismantle me!" Mimi explained, frantically looking from Gir to the kitchen door, expecting Zim to pop out any moment.
"What? Master wouldn't….your my friend, so he wouldn't….." Gir tried to convince her, and himself, that Zim wouldn't do such a thing.
"He WOULD!" Mimi exclaimed, "Please, please don't make him notice me!" she begged Gir, even as she jumped to the ceiling, flattening herself against the pipes, whispering one last time, "Please!"
It was then Zim entered the premises, thankfully not looking at the ceiling. "GIR! Who rang the doorbell? Tell me." Zim demanded, worried about the security of his base.
"Noooothiiiing….." Gir responded, making his best attempt to act innocent.
'At least he's trying.' Mimi thought, thankful she wasn't about to be ratted out.
"Gir! That answer doesn't even apply to what I asked!" Zim shouted, frustrated his minion couldn't even make an understandable answer. "Gir! Use your brain for this! Who rung the DOORBELL!"
"…" Gir was silent.
"Who did it, GIR?" Zim yelled, demanding an answer.
Faced with this dilemma, Gir used his best defensive strategy. So, still slathered in cheese and pudding, Gir declared, "I think somebody needs a huuuug!"
"What? Get away from me!" Zim commanded. As expected, Gir ignored his request and started chasing Zim in a circle for a few moments before jumping and latching himself to Zim's head. "AAAAAAAAAAHH!" Zim screamed, attempting to get Gir off. Finally, Zim threw his head back, throwing Gir off, but also looking directly in Mimi's direction, though his eyes were closed.
Mimi prepared herself.
Just before Zim opened his eyes, though, a flash went off.
Zim turned his head to the noise, eyes opening as he did so, never actually seeing Mimi. "Whew…." Mimi breathed a sigh of relief. 'That was too close.' She thought, now hearing a new voice speaking. 'Wait….. isn't that?'
"I've got you now, ZIM!" a boy wearing what appeared to be some sort of stealth suit yelled, holding a camera in triumph. "Photographic evidence! I'm going to send THIS to Mysterious Mysteries, the perfect way to EXPOSE YOU!" He yelled pointing an accusatory finger at Zim.
"Cursed Dib monkey!" Zim spat back. "You and your shockingly enormous head irritate me AGAAAAIN?"
"MY HEADS NOT BIG!" Dib snapped back.
"NO MATTER!" Zim exclaimed pressing a button on his wrist. "ATTACK THE DIB-HUMAN!"
At Zim's command, mechanical arms, some holding weapons and some not, protruded from various places in the room, and began an attempt to subdue Dib.
"HAH!" Dib yelled, dodging a few lasers and various sharp objects. "Come on Zim! I can handle this! Is it the best you can dish out?" Dib insulted, sidestepping clawed arms originally aiming for him, now embedded in the wall.
All the while, Gir and Mimi watched the exchange expressionlessly, not sure what to do. That was before Dib jumped to the ceiling, right in front of Mimi, looking directly at her. Dib's expression became confused, "What the….? Aren't you Tak's robot?"
Gir reacted before Zim looked at Mimi. Glowing red, Gir announced, "LEAVE OR BE DESTROYED, INTRUDER!" Gir's arm lashing out, grabbing Dib and flinging the confused paranormal investigator out the window.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Dib yelled, hitting the ground hard. "Ow…." Dib mumbled, bringing his hand up to wipe his dirt stained face. That hand happened to still be holding the camera. "What?" Dib whispered in disbelief. "YES! YOU ARE GOING DOWN ZIM! JUST WAIT TILL I….."
The camera was yanked out of his hand.
"HUH?" Dib spun around, noticing a crushed camera in a girl's hand.
"THAT is for drinking the last soda, Dib." Gaz said plainly, throwing the remains to the floor, stepping on what was left of the camera for good measure, walking away without another word. 'Why don't you just leave Zim alone?' Gaz thought to herself as she walked.
Dib, on the other hand, dropped to the floor, picking up the dust-like remains, watching them slip through his fingers. "NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dib yelled in agony, his dreams crushed even when they were so close to fruition.
Elsewhere, on the massive…..
"Did you hear that?" Purple asked Red, looking out the window.
"Did I hear what?" Red asked, turning to Purple, arms crossed.
"I think someone's mocking me….." Purple stated, eyes narrowing as he continued to look out into space.
"Eh he he….." Zim smirked, amused at Dib's misfortune. 'I'll have to remember to thank Gaz later.' Zim thought to himself. "Gir, why did you not tell me the Dib-human was the one who set off the alarm?" Zim asked, wondering why Gir seemed so reluctant to do so.
"Um…" Gir mumbled, quickly deciding that he may as well go along with it. "I forgot!" Gir explained, smiling and pulling a slurpee from his head, sucking on it, all the while producing a surprising amount of noise.
Slapping a hand to his forehead Zim replied, "Ugh….fine, Gir. Look, be sure to actually GUARD the base this time, okay? I know that you are capable." Zim commanded, having witnessed Gir's earlier performance.
Zim began to walk away, until, "But, I don't waaaaaant to." Gir said, looking straight at Zim.
Zim turned, surprised Gir complained, "Why? You've never had a problem being charged with this duty before." Zim challenged, thinking at the same time, 'Am I actually holding a sensible conversation with Gir?'
"Cause I'll be all distracted n' stuff!" Gir elaborated, pausing to suck on his slurpee.
"But….actually, it would give me an opportunity to test the new base defenses I installed. I guess I was too distracted." Zim said to himself, walking to the wall, where a control panel revealed itself. "I'm surprised the great ZIM forgot this." He yelled, "Now the Dib human will have to memorize all the new defense patterns. I'M A GENIUS!" Zim announced. "Very well Gir. Do what you want. I'm going back down to the lab."
Zim proceeded to do just that, looking extremely confident in himself.
"Ironic that his enemy's SIR is actually in his so called 'impenetrable' base." Mimi said aloud as she dropped from the ceiling. "Thanks for covering for me, Gir." She said, smiling at him.
That smile made Gir feel weird inside…in a good way. "I don't want my bestest friend to be sad!" Gir declared, happy he did well.
'Since when did I become his best friend?' Mimi asked herself, smiling either way, 'Or maybe that's because I'm the only 'friend' he has?' She then thought, feeling sad for him at the possibility.
"Come on! Let's go to my room!" Gir said, already walking in that direction.
"What?" Mimi exclaimed, "W-why would w-we go there?" Mimi asked, panicking.
"Well, you said you didn't want master to see you, and master never goes to my room, so shouldn't we go there?" Gir asked innocently, confused as to why Mimi was all red. "Are you okaaaaay?" Gir inquired.
"Oh, um, I'm, ah…." Mimi stuttered, embarrassed she had been so, well, embarrassed to go to Gir's room. 'Get it together!' she commanded herself, "Yeah, um, let's, ah, go to, um, your room." Mimi managed to get out, her normally silver complexion stained in red. 'Why do SIRs even have that function?' she thought, cursing her creators for including it.
By the time Gir and Mimi arrived in the desired room, Mimi decided the function was useful to look more 'normal' on whatever planet they were staying on.
"Heeeeeeere we are!" Gir announced, turning to Mimi, smiling with both arms extended to either side of him.
Gir's room looked normal, with slight differences, most notable among them various objects scattered about. On one rather large shelf were little cheap-looking toys Mimi assumed were from take-out fast food restaurants Gir had ordered from, evidenced by one or two take out bags on the floor below the shelf. There were a few posters haphazardly placed on the walls, most depicting things such as pigs and various foods Gir liked more than others, Mimi's eye catching the posters with pizza on them. He did have a bed, as SIRs could feel, and thusly preferred to be comfortable when they needed to rest their CPU, (A/N CPU means 'Central Processing Unit' for those of you who didn't know) which was a requirement daily, akin to humans 'sleeping.' Mimi noticed with some amusement that Gir's covers were designed with tacos on them. There was also a shelf labeled 'GAMZ' in Gir's handwriting, containing a variety of board games and a number of 'Game Slave' systems on one side. The most unusual thing in the room was the full-sized refrigerator, coupled with the stove next to it; these were most likely put there to sate Gir's rather spontaneous eating habits.
'He did pull pizza out of his head.' Mimi thought, validating her point.
Of course, Gir had insisted showing Mimi everything he had up close, to the point where Mimi could recite every last thing Gir had in his refrigerator.
Now, Gir and Mimi were found playing a board game called Clue, a very strange version of it, as Gir insisted that he put on a detective costume, pulling random objects from his shelves to make more rooms, like the bobble head representing a boulder in the 'Indiana Jones Room.'
'What is 'Indiana Jones' exactly?' Mimi asked herself even as Gir ran over with one of his 'detective hats' stopping in front of Mimi.
"Here! I found one I think you'll like!" Gir announced, presenting it to her.
"How did you convince me to wear this?" Mimi asked Gir, as she placed the hat on her head, completing her 'detective' costume.
"It's fun!" Gir simply answered, throwing the dice at the dart board, and swirling the magic eight ball, earning him 16 moves and one 'get out of jail free' card.
'It's true.' Mimi thought, 'this is the most fun I've ever had!'
Gir and Mimi finally finished their game, when Gir turned out to be the murderer, making a run for it, Mimi catching him, and giving him over to the space cops to be put on trial for blowing up Saturn.
By the end, neither of the two actually understood the extremely improvised game. Well, maybe Gir did.
*YAWN* Mimi yawned, her CPU exhausted after the long day.
"Are you tired?" Gir asked Mimi, looking over at her from his sitting position atop his bed.
"Yeah, I guess so….." Mimi trailed off, yawning again, shifting to lie on the floor.
"What're you doin'?" Gir asked, tilting his head with a confused expression.
"Goin' to sleep." Mimi responded, turning her head to look at the malfunctioning SIR.
"You can't sleep there!" Gir exclaimed, as if it were the worst thing Mimi could possibly do.
"And why is that?" Mimi countered, fixing Gir with an exasperated stare.
"Cause you'll be uncomfy if you sleep there!" Gir explained, pointing a finger to back up his point.
"Well, do you see any alternative? It's not like I can sleep in your bed." Mimi stated, looking away and closing her robotic eyes.
"?" Gir was silent for a few moments. "Why not?" Gir inquired.
Mimi's eyes shot open, surprised Gir needed an explanation. "Because you're a boy!" She yelled.
"So?" Gir asked simply.
"And I'm a Girl!" She continued.
"Yeah?" Gir asked, waiting for her to say something else.
"THAT'S WHY!" Mimi shouted, her normally silver color stained with red once more.
Gir put his hand to his chin, appearing to be in deep thought.
Mimi was standing now, hands on her hips as she glared at Gir, face still red.
He appeared to come to a conclusion. "But since we're both bestest friends, its okay!" Gir announced, smiling at Mimi again.
"No, it's….!" Mimi began to protest, but was cut off by Gir.
"I'm not gonna stop till you say okay!" Gir declared, still smiling.
"That's blackmail…." Mimi mumbled, defeated.
"What's blackmail?" Gir asked, never having heard the word.
"Never mind." Mimi said as she climbed under Gir's taco-covered blankets, secretly happy she wouldn't be sleeping on the floor.
"M'kay!" Gir replied, running to turn off the lights before jumping in bed next to Mimi.
….Then proceeded to cuddle with Mimi.
"!" Mimi was obviously startled. "W-w-what a-are y-you d-doing?" Mimi stuttered out, face glowing with embarrassment.
She was about to tell him to get off, but then….
"Thanks for being my friend, Mimi." Gir said, closing his eyes.
This shocked Mimi. This confirmed her earlier thoughts.
She was his only friend.
He had been alone his whole life, no one wanting to give up time to talk to him. Even for Mimi, Tak had been nice to her, talking to her even though she could not speak back. Zim was too obsessed with his mission, and even then, Zim thought Gir was stupid and not worth talking to.
She thought Gir was worth talking to.
"Don't worry." Mimi finally said. "I'll always be your friend, Gir." She finished, wrapping her arms around him.
And just before Mimi went to standby mode, she thought she saw Gir smile.
A/N: Well! That's that! I hope you enjoyed it!
Hey, please review my story, as some tips or feedback will always be appreciated. Though, flames will be used to barbeque something. Maybe tacos.
So! Review PUH-LEEEEEEAAAAASE!
This is Kirbboy, over and out!
