Yes, Sir

Chapter one: New ideas

"Master?"

"Hush, Gir."

Two minutes later: "Master?"

"Gir, shut-up!"

"But Master I-"

"BE QUIET!"

Gir's eyes became tearful. He just wanted to tell his Master that he'd made him the waffles he liked. "But Master, please!"

"No! Now go and do something useful for once, you insolent, pathetic robot!" Zim spat, resuming his place in front of the computer.

Zim's comment stung Gir, but he didn't dare disobey. Hunching his small metal shoulders, Gir shot himself up the toilet elevator and went to the couch. Something was wrong with his Master and Gir was beginning to worry.

Several squeaks behind him told Gir that Minimoose was near. He needed a friend right now so he made his way to the kitchen. When he entered he noticed that Minimoose had eaten all the waffles. Minimoose looked at him guiltily.

"Sorry, friend. Minimoose was hungry."

Gir gazed at him with sad eyes and shook his head. "It's okay, Mini. Master was too…busy for waffles."

"That's what you say yesterday, Gir." He floated forward and stood next to the small SIR. "What wrong? Tell Minimoose."

"It's just…I don't think Master wants me around anymore." Gir confessed, staring at his feet.

Minimoose nodded. "Well, come make muffins with Minimoose. I found new recipe."

Gir smiled his slightly crooked smile. "Thanks, Mini."

In the lab:

"That was mean what you said to him, Zim." Computer beeped.

"Shut-up!" Zim was already feeling ashamed for his behavior lately and he didn't need the damn computer to remind him of it.

"You should apologize for how you've been treating Gir lately. Your mood-swings don't matter, you shouldn't be treating him this way." Computer said.

"ENOUGH! I will not apologize to Gir! He needs to learn how irrational his behavior is becoming. I don't need him messing my plans up to destroy Earth." Zim muttered.

"Oh, sure he's the one messing up your plans."

Zim's head snapped up. "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." Computer sounded annoyed. "You need to seriously get your act together, Zim. Gir doesn't need you being harsh to him."

Zim was infuriated that the computer was taking Gir's side in this argument. "I need a better SIR unit. One that doesn't spend his entire day making stupid waffles!"

"But he always makes the waffles that you like." Computer defended Gir.

"One that listens to me, one that will help me take over this god-forsaken planet!" Zim obviously didn't hear Computer. You could practically hear the gears in his head turning, fueled by thought. Then, suddenly, it seemed as if a light bulb went off. "Aha! I know exactly what to do! I'll order a new SIR that will follow my orders and stay loyal to me, giving away that pestering Gir."

Computer gasped. (A/N: well, he gasped as best he could seeing that he's a computer.) "How could you be so cruel? That is the worst idea you've ever created!"

Zim was smiling manically now. "Computer, research new SIRS on the Irken Internet."

Unable to disobey, Computer sighed and quickly found new SIR units. "Perfect." Zim whispered. Gir would be in for a rude awakening next morning.

..Yeah, I made Zim seem evil in this chapter, but trust me in later chapters he'll realize his mistake and will change. R&R!
