CHAPTER 1

"Gaz! I'm going out! I need to go to Zim's house to finally expose him!" Dib shouted, running outside to his room. "I'll be back later!" He open the door and run outside the house.

'I hope he trip while running on his way and finally get hit by a truck.' I thought hopefully.

I was in the living room, instead of playing my game slave, I'm just reading a book.

'Sometimes you need a break playing a game, I don't want to stare on a full bright screen and turn my eyesight poor, (quite ironic because reading a book can make your eyesight poor. Well, If you are too close and focus on your book.) and when my eyesight is poor, dad would probably force me to wear a stupid glasses, I would look like a nerd like Dib, what a perfect family' I thought sarcastically.

'And besides, books made my nerves calm. Game slave just make me entertain.'

I'm almost at the end of the story, I read this a day ago, it caught my interest so I just read a book a whole day. Surprise that I choose a book in a day instead of playing video games. You probably want to know what I am reading right? It's none of your concern.

While reading, the house is quiet, just how I like it, as usual, dad is at work while Dib do his Dib things, being alone is fine to me, I actually prefer being alone instead of hanging out with people. I can just read many books or play video games , life is good by the way, because the fridge is always full, we got a lot of money, gadgets, anything, but we live in a simple house in a simple neighborhood. I guess that's fine.

When I saw the last page of the book I'm reading, I sigh in frustration.

'This author just want to go to the nightmare hell with me. I hope he's happy to what he did.'

'To be continued…' That's what the last page said.

'Great, a cliffhanger.' I thought irritably. 'I'll probably go to the books store to ask if there is a new classic book, and I have to wait until this stupid author publish his new book. He will pay… Lucky him I'm in a good mood, I guess I have to go outside, but first…'

I got up on the couch and start walking upstairs, I walk towards my room, I opened the door. The room is still the same, there's a weird stuff animals on the right, the bed is on the left,the closet in front with a study desk and of course, the game slave is there, a book shelf and a bathroom. And ofcourse the room is dark.

I placed the book I was reading on the shelf. I have a tons of book by the way.

I took some money in a jar, I didn't care how much, I just scoop a handful of money and put it in my skirt pocket.

Don't get me wrong, it's not short, it's really long, it hides my legs, the skirt is black. Teenager girls these days wear skinny jeans that you can almost see the line of their curves and they wear a really thin and short shirt, some revealing their chest, some are not but it still disgust me. My choice of clothing is fine, just a plain light blue, medium size T-shirt, and of course my skull necklace hanging around my neck silently. And girls wear high heels right? I just wear a small black boots and a knee black socks, it's comfortable and I can move freely.

Some says I look like a doll, well, a creepy doll. I guess I still have my aura.

I looked at the mirror beside me. Nothing change I guess, I am still, the creepy goth girl, but I'm not really a goth, just different. I'm not wearing a make-up, sure I wear black clothing, but that doesn't mean I'm a goth. Well… Maybe they thought I'm a goth because of my hair color, speaking of my hair color, nothing change, that's it, it's still short and violet, but the different is the the one 'snake like tooth' bangs, it's really long, but I'll keep it, and the reason I keep my hair short because I hate long hair, It gets everywhere and it irritates me, my style is still the same.

I looked at my face.

As for my eyes, it's still close, but sometimes squinted, I only open it when I'm amaze, surprise, shock or mad. And for my face and skin, they're white. Well, not really white, it's pale with a reddish color on the cheeks, lips and visible on the nose. Maybe that's the reason why they called me a doll…

I looked away on the mirror, I get my keys on the desk; One to my room and the other one to the house.

I walk outside my and locked the door. I headed down to the kitchen, I grab some cold pizza in the fridge and walked outside the house, I place the tip of the pizza in my mouth so it won't fall, while I close and lock the door with my both hands.

Even if the pizza is cold, I still love it.

After locking the door, I sat on our small door step and start eating.

I'm munching, savoring, licking my lips and humming in approval of the pizza, when I finished eating, I got up and start walking.

While walking, I looked around. The neighborhood looks likely, happy, cheerful, all the positive. And I want to burn it, I want to burn this neighborhood, seeing them all lively and stupid makes me want to bomb this place. But you know I can't do that because dad would be very mad at me. While walking, I saw some lovers walking at the left side walk, a woman walking with her dog, a little girl crossing a road, selling some cookies or something, some guy walking home with some beer on his hand, probably depressed I suppose.

With so many step I take, crossing every road, I am at the park finally, to get to the books store, you need to go to the park. The park is quite nice actually, there is a playground: With swings, slide, see-saw, monkey bars and there is a benches near the trees and some vendors.

The people here is actually happy, the children is walking with their parents with a picnic basket, lovers sitting under the tree, relaxing and enjoying their moment, old couple walking beside each other, holding their hand while smiling at each other, teenagers with a group of friends at the bench, talking, laughing and some are singing.

I don't mind the park, but the people in here makes me sick.

When I step out of the park, While walking, I saw the books store on my way. The books store is small and simple, it looks inviting.

I walked towards the door, I grab the handle, turn the knob and push the door slowly, the door hits the bell softly, but enough to hear the bell. When I step inside, freshbooks invade my nostrils I found myself relaxing.

There's a few people in here, checking, reading and buying books. The lady of this store is really old, buts she's nice. She wear glasses, her hair is white and pull up in a bun, she have wrinkles everywhere, she has a long wrinkly slender fingers, she wore a long plain sundress and a thin brown jacket and some slippers. Sometimes, she'll give me a cup of coffee or cookies for staying and helping her organize the books to their right shelf.

I know it's nice of me, but me being nice is none of your concern.

I walked towards her desk and greeted her.

"Morning, old lady." I said simply. The old woman perked at the sudden voice, she looked up and put her book aside. She smiled happily when she saw me. She talked to me.

"Gaz! Dear, It is nice to see you again. How are you? It's been three days since your last visit here." She said in her old wise voice. "And what did tell you about 'Old lady'? You can call me, May, Dear." Her tone turn suddenly stern and her looks turn narrowed.

"It's nice to see you too, May." I smirked, teasing this old lady is actually funny, one minute she's all nice and jolly, when you tease her she'll turn strict, I like this side of her. "I'm fine. And you already missed me for the past three days? You really sucked at long distant realation ship, May." I joked. Her narrowed eyes turn happy again.

"Ahh that's better." She laughed. "You know I'm always alone here. And I want to talked to someone to you know. Being alone is not happy, remember that, Gaz, dear." She said calmly.

I replied. "Not for me, I'm happy being alone."

The woman sigh while shaking her head slowly. The old woman picked her book and open it and start reading. "Well then, what is it you want, dear?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Do you have a new classic book?" I asked quietly, thrumming my fingers on her desk.

She smiled. "Of course my dear, just go to that book shelf, I stored them yesterday. You're lucky, those books are really good, sweetheart." She point at the shelf she's talking about.

"Thank's old May." I nod. She smiled politely in return. "You are welcome, sweetheart."

As much I hate the word 'Dear' and 'Sweetheart', I'll let her pass. I don't know why she called me that, I'm not sweet or good.

I walked to the direction where the old lady pointed at. There's a few people in here, I ignored them all.

After checking and analyzing all of the books; The old lady is right, these books are really good.

I took two books on the shelf. Then I walked back to the cashier, well, the old woman.

"I'll take these two, please." I said quietly. As much I'm a moody type of female, I can be polite too, well, just to this lady.

She chuckled. "Being polite is not your thing, Dear."

"I know." I mutter embarrassedly, I'm not going to admit it that I love her as my own family, but that's what I'm feeling right now, I'm pretty sure she feel the same way.

She took the books on my hand then she stamp some sticker behind the book, the other one too. She put the books in a clear plastic, each. Then finally she put it in the brown paper bag. She has a smile on her face. "Really love horror, sweetheart."

I hum in approval. I reach a hand on my pocket and pulled out my money. The woman said the total price of the books and I gave her the exact amount of money. She gave me the brown paper bag.

"Thank you, sweetheart." She smiled brightly. I nod. " Do you want a cup of coffee or tea? Cookies? I have some in my kitchen. It's still hot." She asked hopefully.

I want to go now, but seeing her smiling and happy, I guess, I'll stay for a while; Just for her. I know I'm going soft, but seeing her all alone with a frown on her face just doesn't right. You just can't ignored it.

"Fine, I guess I'll take a bite of you cookies…" I muttered quietly, expecting her to asked again, but she heard it, loud and clear.

"Oh! I'm glad, Gaz, Dear, you are such a sweetheart." She said softly.

All I could do is nod while looked away from. I have to admit, I am embarrassed. Because she acted like my own grandma, and I acted like her own grandchild.

We go to her small kitchen at the back, then gave me a cup, and she pour me some hot water.

"What do you like? Coffee or Tea?" She asked. I replied.

"I'll try tea."

She nod happily then start to make tea. I sit on a chair, then watch her do her work. She place the tea in front of me. I silently thank her. She brought the basket full of cookies and put it on the center of the table.

'Even if she walked really slow, she is fast doing her work.'

Then we start our tea party.

After a while full of chat, sip and eat. I said goodbye to her. We wave at each other I step outside.

"Take good care of yourself, old lady." I said, pulling a small smile. She sigh and shake her head slowly.

"You too, Dear." She smiled softly. Then she close the door.

The old lady is not bad, actually, she is the only I respect and like.

I start to head back. While walking, I look around my surroundings, the buildings, the people and the sky. The sky is red, orange and yellow, with a small tint of violet and blue.

When I'm back at the park again, there's a few people in here, heading to the exit, probably going home.

While walking on the path, humming some tunes I like, looking everywhere like the grass, insects, playground and sky. After a moment, I suddenly hear a loud crash and a grunts and groans above. I flinch in surprise when two figure fall in front of me. No suspect a thing except me, since all of the people in this park is already gone.

The groan and grunts still remains.

"This is your fault Dib-worm! If you leave Zim be, none of this would ever happened! Now get to stuck with you of all hyooomans!" He shout irritatingly.

"Me?! It's your fault for messing with this net! And who will stop you evil plans ZIMM! And it's 'humans' not 'Hyooomans'! And do you think I enjoyed this? We are in the same boat!" He shout back.

"You're lying! And Zim can say whenever Zim wants! And we are not in a boat you stupid human! We are in this park!

It's an idiom you idiot!"

"How should Zim know!? Wait… What's a idiom." He asked suddenly.

"I give up…" He muttered to himself.

'Great, I encounter this two morons.' I thought sarcastically. 'And it's already giving me a headache.' I thought irritatingly.

Dib and Zim is in a tight, thick net. '

Wait, are those bruise? Burn marks and a black eye? Huh, they never get that far, right? Sure they chase but never this.

The two boys start to wriggling and whining in a tight net, hoping to be free already, some biting and chewing the rope.

'I guess their personality will never change.'

"YEOUCH! Back off you filthy human!" He hissed, pushing him away hard.

"It hurts too you know! So, you back off" He fired back, pushing him harder.

These two are in highschool, and they're still acting like an elementary children…

The shouting, hissing,wriggling and shoving never ends. And I'm having a migraine because of it. I sigh in frustration.

'Huh, they didn't seem to notice me here. Ok, If I walk past them, they would see me, Dib would whine and asked me to help him, but I don't want to help this moron. What to do..? I can't back out now,and I don't want this two idiots to notice me. It's like babysitting a whining babie-

"Huh? GAZ! I'm so glad you are here!" Dib shout in relief. "Thank goodness, you are just in time! Help me!."

"Great. He finally notice me, and he's already demanding.' I thought sarcastically.

"Shut up Dib." I said darkly. But the two boys didn't seem threaten, they're still shouting and hissing to each other.

"Yes, shut up, Dibbbbb!" Zim rolled the word 'Dib' sarcastically.

"You shut up!" He shout angrily.

The bickering continues, it never stop. While they're moving the net is getting more tangled up.

'Idiots…'

I have no choice but to free them both, or leave them, but I am pretty sure their whining will be heard even if I'm far away.

"Stay away! Dib-Stink! Your touching my bruise!" Zim shriek.

"OW! Stop moving! Gaz! Help me!" Dib cried.

'Ugh… I can't believe I'm doing this…'

"Quit your whining." I said in frustration. I walked toward them, they're still moving.

'Can't they just listen to me for once?'

I crouch in front of them, I hold the net with my both hands, I grip the net really tight, Then, I ripped the net apart. They are finally free, at last.

They are just sitting there, mouth agape with a big shocked eyes.

Dib get up slowly, looking at the ripped apart net. "My advance technology net, it's ruined…" He crouch dramatically, while holding the net like it's his lost lover.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. 'Whiner.'

Zim got up really quick. He dusted himself off and fixed his disguise, then he looked at me, silently thanking me. I nod. Then, he looked at Dib, He sneered in disgust at the scenario. He turned around and start sprinting way. He looked behind him. "See ya DIB! YOU LOSE ONE AGAIN!." He shout while running away. I just shook my head. For a bruised, black eyed alien, he's really fast.

Dib whipped his head at Zim who is running far away. He roused up quickly, leaving his so called 'Advance technology' oh the ground. " NO! Zim is getting away!" He chase him, when he was about to make a second step, he suddenly fell because he lost his balance. "OUCH!." He fell face-flat on the dirt. He groaned.

He is seriously injured, he has bruise all over his body, a black eye on the left, some small burn marks, his clothes are slightly shred and burn out, and his hair is really messy. He can't get up because of exhaustion.

"I can't believe you two gone too far." I replied, slightly interested yet not.

He gasp between breaths. "I have to Gaz… For… This… Planet…" He said with much pride, like a superhero.

I rolled my eyes. His still alive? Curses…

"Come on, get up, or I'll leave you here." I replied.

He grunt tiredly, pushing his body off ground. But failed. "I… I can't… Can you-" I cut him off.

"No."

"Oh come one! You didn't finish what I said!" He whine.

"I know what you're going to say, so no." I shrug, then start to walk away.

"Wait! I'll, I'll treat you pizza! Next week! Anything you want!" he comment meekly.

I stop on my tracks and paused for a while, thinking if helping him is right or wrong, well since he's going to treat me pizza next week. Fine.

I turned around and walked in front of him.

"Fine, but I'm not carrying you. I'll drag you all the way home." I said.

All he could do is nod. 'Wise choice.'

I grab him on his uninjured foot, and start dragging him.


While I'm running, left and right, using my PAK legs to climb on a building, cross every filthy, looking back if the Dib is chasing after me, I notice his not, I was about to stop running when I suddenly trip on a small rock.

CRASH!

I slide really rough on the dirt. I raise my head and clenched my fist on the dirt.

"Stupid rock." I muttered to myself. "Curse this dirt ball! Good thing no is around." I smash my fist on the ground. "Owwww… Oh yeah, I forgot I have bruise all over my body." I groan. I got up, dusting myself and fixing my disguise. "Oh well, irkens can regenerate fast."

I let out a walkie-talkie in my PAK. I hold it, then place it on my temple, I shouted at the phone.

"GIR! ARE YOU IN THERE!? PICK UP YOUR MASTER!"

Click!

"Huh? Hello..?" Said a shrill voice.

"GIR! PICK UP YOUR MASTE-!" He cut me off.

"Hello? Is sowan ther?" He asked.

"YES! Now! Pick up your mas-!" He cut me of again.

"Hello? Helloooooo~!?"

"GIR! Will you please stop cutting me o-!"

"Doom, doom doom-y doom, doom~!"

"GIR Stop talki-!"

"I wish mastah is here…"

"I am here! If you stop cutting me o-!"

"OH! Ah monggoes!"

"Gir! Stop! I'll give yo-!

"La la la la la la la~!"

"Give yo-!"

"Ohh! This is fun!"

"TACOS!"

He gasp. "Did someone say 'Tacos'?"

I pant. "YES GIR! I'LL GIVE YOU TACOS IF YOU PICK ME UP!" I shouted.

"Master? Is that you?"

"YES GIR!" I said in distressed.

"Ohh hi! I didn't see you there master!" He said in his squeaky voice.

"OF COURSE YOU CAN'T SEE ME! WE ARE TALKING ON A WALKIE-TALKIE!" I think I'm about to explode..

"Ohhhhh!"

"Pick me up GIR and I will give you a taco." I sighed.

"Okie-dokie! TACOS!" He said happily. The call is ended.

I sigh in frustration and exhaustion. This robot is a pain on my butt.. Sir units supposed to command me, no hesitations!

I tap my foot impatiently. I have to deal and hate many things: This dirt ball, the stupid skool, GIR, and of course; The Dib- stink. At least the sister of the Dib is tolerable.

'Wait? What..?'

I looked around if GIR is here. The dark sky, a dog, the whole building, the-

"HI, MASTER! I MISSES YOU! WHERE IS MY TACOS!?" I jumped in surprise. I snap my head and looked at him. 'Good tallest! He almost gave me a squeedlyspooch attack!'

"GIR! Stop surprising me! It's not fun!" I demand.

"Awww… It wasss fannn!" GIR frown.

Why is he wearing in a doggy suit when there is no humans around, but not wearing it sometimes if we encounter one?

I groan. I grab his doggy ear and I climb on his back. "Take us home, GIR, and I'll give you the price."

"WEEEEEE!" GIR squealed happily, almost hurting my antenna, speaking of antenna, it's already numb… Oww..

"GIR! Let's go-AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed really hard.

GIR blast us in the sky in full speed, it caught me of guard, but good thing I'm holding his doggy ears really tight on the first place.

We were flying everywhere in the sky, flying to the left, right, up, down, clockwise and counter-clockwise. 'I think I'm going to puke…'

Then suddenly, we're in front of my house, well, base.

I fall down with a loud thud.

"Ughhhh… Nice work, GIR…" I muttered.

GIR squealed happily. I felt something rising in my stomach, and it is not good. "I-I think I am going to puke…" I put a good hand on my mouth and run inside my house, with GIR trailing behind.

'Ugh… Stupid planet, stupid DIBB… He will pay tomorrow,but for now, I have to tend my wounds… What a day…'

We are in the house now, even if it took us a while to get back, it was worth dragging Dib all the way here. Dib is in his room, probably resting or sleeping, I'm at my room now, l am laying comfortable on my bed I changed my clothes lately into a pajama and a creepy bunny slippers and I'm reading the book I bought. The new freshly book hits me when I opened it. And the story is really good. After a while of reading I start to think the weird alien.

'Huh, how is that green idiot? Is he lost or dead? I hope not because that would be boring and disappointing, well if he's still alive, well, good for him then, not that I cared but he's been here ever since. I'm 17, Dib is 17, he's been here for 6 or 7 years, I don't mind actually, he doesn't bothering me or anything, but yeah, he can be annoying but not towards me.

I shook my head at my thought. I rolled my eyes. 'Stupid thoughts…' I frown

I focus on the book I am reading. After reading and analyzing, I didn't realize a fell asleep.


Author note:

Hello! This is my first fic! I don't if its a good start or a bad start but I'm actually proud of myself! Let me know if I have wrong grammar, spelling, etc. (english is not my first language…)

I know, you know, that Gaz is a little bit of OOC, but she still has her FUEL! So don't worry! …. I'm sorry for the pun, but I'll try my very best keeping her not OOC.

As for Zim, I didn't know if he is in a right character. Let me know if he is or not.

My opinion, Gas is just really quiet, she want to be alone, she can be polite to someone if you are polite to her, she's not THAT really violent…. Well if it comes to Dib, I guess she can be really sadist. But I know she can be sweet and cute… really, she is adorable if you re-watch invader zim, the episode "Game slave 2" and "Bloaty's pizza hog" She opened her eyes really big and stare at the TV adorably! She's so innocent! I can't even-!

And as for Zim and Dib, I hope they're not OOC…

And don't worry, there will be a ZAGR moment, just wait. It will be a really slow realization about their feelings because hey, they need no one right? Heh.

Well, that's all, see you at the next chapter! The chapter is coming soon. I hope you like it.
