A/N Uck, mornings, UCK! It's 5:23 am, and of course, I haven't slept! But
I did read a couple of good fics! One was an anternate ending to Hannibal
*Much better than the "other"ending, and one Hey Arnold fic. Really sweet.
*I don't know why, but I'd like to see Helga and Arnold get together. OMG,
I actually watched a non Zim nicktoon. Don't worry, this was before Zim.
I swear I'm not a traitor. ^_^
Tak: *looking around the room from his cage* Hey, did she go to sleep?
Buddy: *hears "The end of the world" start over on repeat* No, but she's been playing that SHIT ALL MORNING!
Jubei: *coming down the stairs* Nope, I'm right here and ready to write! I just needed a refill on my chocolate moo! *glares at Buddy* And don't YOU get any ideas! This is MY chocolate moo! MINE!!
Buddy: *sigh*
Snow: Can I have a smoke?
Jubei: Bite me!!
Snow: Will I get a cigarette?
Jubei: Um.....NO!!
Snow: Well fuck you then!
Jubei: No, fuck yourself, you'll get more pussy!
Buddy and Tak: *sigh and shake their heads* Humans...
I'll Do It For You
The bright lights of the plane hanger were blinding. Zim squinted as he lay strapped down on the autopsy table. He closed his eyes and tried to remember how this mess had got started.
Jubei: Flashback time!
Buddy: Oh, god no...
Zim's green head drooped toward his desk as he and the rest of the class listened to Ms. Bitters drone on about how they were all doomed. It was 2:55. Five more minutes. He could handle it. Or he could have if Dib hadn't been staring at him all day. He just about couldn't take it. After class was over, after all the child worms ran for their houses, he was going to grab that little bastard, Dib and scream that if he keeps staring at me, I'm going to hit him so hard his grandchildren will be born bruised. Finally, the bell rang. Everyone rushed outside. Dib stopped as he got out the doors to wait for Gaz as he did every day. Zim found him leaning against the guard rail.
Zim: *Grabbing Dib by the shoulders* Look Dib-worm, if you don't stop glaring at me during class, I will plunge you into a nightmare world from which there is no escape!
Dib: *staring up at the sky* You know, I was just thinking, it's such a nice day. Don't you think, Zim?
Zim was confused and pushed Dib back.
Zim: Did you not hear what I said? I said if you don't sto...
He trailed off when he realized that Dib wasn't even listenting to him.
Zim: What is wrong with you, Dib human? Have you the brain worms??
Dib: *laughing* No, I was just thinking how funny your face is going to look when I show you this.
He pulled a picture from his trenchcoat and handed it to Zim. He took the picture and stared at it in horror.
Zim: *Eyes as wide as they could get* No, this can't be...
Dib: *smirking* What's the matter Zim? Maybe you recognize someone in that picture? Hmmm?
Zim: But....how?
Dib: A funny story really. You see, a couple of days ago, I noticed a large crater-like hole in the park, so I went over to investigate. It seemed to have been caused by a meteor, but when I didn't find so much as a space rock, I began to think it was some sort of spacecraft. After searching the park, I found several small peices of an unknown metal. I searched some more and found what looked like your ship. I thought you had crashed in the park and tried to stash it until you could get it working again. I was about to leave when I heard a sound coming from inside the ship. I pried apart enough of the metal to get inside, and I found...well, I think you know the rest.
Zim stared at the picture of a Irken, smaller than Zim, tied to a chair and gagged. His lip began to quivver at the picture he held. A look of pure pain took over his face and he looked up at Dib, trying not to let the tears run down his face.
Zim: What do you hope to accomplish with this, Dib? Are you trying to get information from him? He can barely talk. He's a fucking child for Irk's sake! What kind of twisted fuck are you?
Dib: I don't want information, Zim. I want you. In exchange, I will release the kid.
Zim: And if I refuse?
Dib: The next time you'll see him will be with his insides strewn across an autopsy table.
Zim winced at the thought.
Zim: And just how do you know that I even know who this is?
Dib: Well, he may not be able to talk much, but he can say one word...Zim.
Zim silently cursed himself for teaching him that as his first word.
Zim: You give me 24 hours. You'll Have my decision tomarrow at 3:00.
Dib: Fine.
Zim: One condition. I want to see him. Alive or the deal's off.
Dib: Name a time.
Zim: Right now.
The two walked toward Dib's house. Once they got there, Dib blindfolded Zim and led him down to his underground lab. This was his father's old lab, so Dib had started using it. Once inside the lab, Dib removed the blindfold. Zim blinked and looked around. He saw what he was looking for in the corner of the room, still tied to the chair and gagged. He ran over but about a yard before he reached the chair, a strong electrical charge knocked him to the ground.
Dib: Oh, did I mention that he's surrounded by an invisible electric fence?
Zim got as close as he could without being shocked. and knelt down and began to shake as he looked at the little Irken. His eyes were closed.
Dib: Oh, isn't this touching?
Zim whipped around to face Dib, trying not to let the pain he felt show.
Zim: Ungag him...now.
Dib complied.
Zim: Kal, can you hear me? Wake up!
Kal slowly opened an eye and saw Zim. He smiled from ear to ear. *so to speak*
Zim tried to smile.
Zim: Hey, are you okay?
Kal nodded.
Zim: How did you get here?
Kal: Da Tawwest.
Zim: The Tallest? Why would they do that?
Kal: To see you.
Zim: You wanted to see me? So you told the Tallest and they sent you here? What were they thinking, sending a child to a hostile planet such as this?
Kal: Time to go now?
Zim tried not to cry.
Zim: I'm sorry little guy, but you'll have to wait a bit longer. But don't worry! I'll think of a way to get you out of here, I promise. Okay, can you be a brave little guy till then?
Kal looked disapointed, but then looked at Zim and smiled.
Kal: Okay, I'll be bwave.
Zim: Great. I gotta go away for a little while, but I'll come back tomarrow for you, okay? Until then, *pointing to Dib* uncle Dib is going to take real good care of you.
Kal: Okay.
Zim: Okay, bye little guy.
Kal: Bye bye.
Zim turned to glare at Dib.
Zim: If anything happens to him in the next 24 hours, the deal is off!
Dib: Deal.
Zim turned to leave, but then heard Kal's little voice from the corner of the room call out.
Kal: I wuv you daddy.
Zim swallowed the lump in his throat.
Zim: I love you too.
Dib: Daddy? Oooh, this is better than I thought!
He led Zim outside.
Dib: Remember Zim, 24 hours.
He lsammed the door behind him, leaving Zim standing on the front porch. He sat down on the step to think, but just the thought of Kal tied up in that human's basement was too much and a loud sob escaped his throat as he covered his face with his hands.
Gaz was walking home from detention about this time and noticed Zim was sitting on her stoop.
Gaz: You know if Dib catches you here...
She trailed off when she noticed he was crying.
Gaz: *sounding concerned* What's wrong? What happened?
Zim: *in between sobs* He took Kal! Your brother, your bastard brother took Kal! And now I don't...I just don't know what to do!!
Gaz: whoa, slow down, who is Kal?
Zim: My son.
Gaz looked shocked.
Gaz: Your son?! You have a son?
Zim: *sniff* Yes, I have a son. And now your brother is demanding that I give myself up or he's...he's gonna...
He trailed off at the thought of what Dib would do to Kal if he didn't turn himself over to him.
Gaz: Oh my god. What are you going to do?
Zim: I don't know. Is their anyway to break into that underground lab of his?
Gaz: Doubtful. He has access codes around every turn down there. But I'll try to find a way. How much time do you have?
Zim: Until 3 tomarrow.
Gaz: Okay, I'll get started. I would try to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen to me.
Zim: It might be a good idea not to mention that you know, or he might lock it down even tighter.
Gaz: Okay. Don't worry, Zim. You'll get him back.
She bent down and hugged Zim, then went into the house. Zim stood up.
Zim: First thing's first. I have to call The Tallest.
WHAT GOOD WILL THAT DO? THEY'RE JERKS, ZIM! OH WELL! WILL ZIM THINK OF A PLAN IN TIME TO SAVE KAL? OR WILL HE HAVE TO GIVE HIMSELF UP TO DIB? READ TO FIND OUT!!
End of chapter 1!! What did ya think? Let me know!
Tak: *looking around the room from his cage* Hey, did she go to sleep?
