Author Notes: I love Gir so much. He makes these so fun to write. I don't like everything to be serious, so yeah; I'll probably make more short Gir scenes… Oh and right now, I'm just trying to subject my character to different characters, which is why this chapter isn't so good, so a little patience with me please. Chapter three will hopefully be better. But hey, I'll shut up and let you read.
"OH! I KNOW WHERE TO GO!" The little dog jumped and started running.
"I really hope this place isn't far!" I begged, being forced to keep up. "Um dog?! Can we PLEASE slow down?!" I panted, being pulled across the city. The little guy just kept running. "I think I'm going to be sick!!"
"I''mmm runniinngg!!!!!" He laughed
"Oh trust me, I noticed!"
Ten minutes of insane running later
"Fin….ally…" I gasped for air, then ran to a nearby garbage can and threw up. "Man, it took me forever to collect all that blood." I sighed, as that was all I had in me to throw up.
"Come on! Let's go inside!" He pulled on my pant leg as I wiped my mouth clean.
"Exactly where are we?"
"Here!" He pointed up to a large sign that read 'Mall'.
"Oh you've got to be kiddi…" I was cut off as the dog pulled me inside.
"Oooo let's go in there! No, wait in there! WAIT! Let's go in herrree!" He went around staring in store windows trying to make up his mind. I seriously could have sworn dogs walked on all four and didn't talk, but if being tugged around a mall meant making a little friend and being normal, I'm fine with it.
"Can we go in herree??" He looked up at me, pulling my arm and pointing to a colorful clothes store.
"Umm, here's an idea." I started, not really wanting to go inside. "How about I give you twenty dollars and you get some stuff while I wait out here."
"Aww pllleasse?" His eyes started to water.
"Oh fine." I sighed, having no desire to have my only friend cry.
"YAAAY!!" He lunged for my hand again, but I pulled it away.
"I'll follow you in this time." I laughed, walking inside. The music was loud and rather obnoxious, but the dog seemed to like it as he ran around the room, grabbing random articles of clothing. I found a corner, leaned back and waited for my friend to finish. I looked to my left to see the store's wall was a huge mirror. Remembering mortals had reflections, I moved away and just walked around.
"Excuse me miss?" A teen who worked at the store turned me around.
"Yeah?" The women raised her hand as she was holding the green dog by the head.
"Is he yours?"
"Why?"
"If he is, here is the bill for his things." She handed me a paper which rung up to a total of thirty nine fifty.
"You've got to be kidding me… Oh whatever here." I reached into my backpack and paid her, and she dropped the dog to the floor.
"Come on, pooch. Let's go before you have me going broke."
"Oook!" He skipped holding his bags of stuff.
"Hey what is your name anyway little guy?"
"Gir!" He answered as he put on some really odd looking lipstick.
"Alright Gir, I'm Deirdre." We walked through the mall, when all of a sudden; I heard a noise and looked to Gir who had opened some sort of computer hologram up.
"Gir! Where are you!? You're needed at the base NOW!" It was Zim's voice.
"He's not a normal dog! I knew it!" I thought as I listened in.
"Aww but master I'm not done playing yeettt."
"I said now Gir. Move it!" The computer turned then turned off.
"I gotta go, I'll see you later De…Deir…Dee Dee!" He started up his rockets.
"Wait! Can you drop me off at my house?!" I remembered I had no idea where this mall was.
"Okay Dokey!" He squealed, grabbing my foot, flipping me upside down, and breaking a huge hole in the ceiling of the building.
"Oh my God not like this Gir!!" I screamed.
"NYAAAHHH!!" He started spinning and flipping.
"Ok! I know the way from here! You can let go now!"
"Let go? OK!" He then dropped my foot and I got to experience underage skydiving.
"I didn't mean like that!" I yelled, but the dog was already returning home to his master. I looked down, and waited to get close enough to the ground so no one could see me, and I transformed my arms into wings from my full vampire form and gently hit the ground. "Oh god that was close." I pulled my wings back in, and began walking.
Fifteen minutes later
It was about evening and I began walking through a park which was on the way home. I looked and noticed there were still people there.
"Look Gaz, I KNOW what I saw!"
"Just like when you saw Bigfoot in our garage?" A scary looking purple haired girl replied.
"Look, I already told you he needed the belt sander! And this time I got pictures!"
"These are blurred Dib. It looks like a rain cloud, stupid."
"What are you talking abo… Oh come on!" Dib smacked his head. As I casually walked by, Dib ran up to me with the pictures.
"Hey, um Deirdre! Would you tell me what this looks like to you?" I stared at it closely, and I gasped for a moment because I could make out Gir flying off (even if he looked like a small dot) and a blurred figure of me with my wings slightly drawn out.
"Err, it looks like a bird and some trees." I lied.
"Damn, I could have sworn… forget it." He sighed.
"What did you think it was?" I asked, out of curiosity.
"Something of Zim's or something… Not that it really matters."
"Dib! I'm going home. You can keep up or stay here for all I care." The girl called out, leaving.
"Ok Gaz! I get it!"
"You seem to have a serious problem with Zim…"
"It's just the fact everyone is either too stupid to notice or they don't care that drives me crazy."
"That he's an alien right?" I recollected.
"Yeah… " He rubbed the back of his neck. "You're one of the only ones that haven't teased me about it yet. Maybe it's because you're new. Who knows."
"Well he is kind of odd… Is that all you do is obsess over exposing Zim?"
"Well, there have been other paranormal cases in the past. But this one bothers me the most…"
"So that's why you snapped at me in the class…" I kind of mumbled thinking how none of the other students really cared about my appearance.
"Yeah, I'm still sorry about that."
"Hey it's ok. So, I guess you better go catch up to um Gaz was it?"
"Yeah, and you're right. I'll see you later." He waved as he ran to her.
"Well, this place is just crawling with… interesting people here." I laughed, walking in the opposite direction, turning up on my block. I walked on further to my door, and unlocked it. I climbed downstairs to a dark room with an open archway as a door.
"Drake?" I called out. The little bat flew down and perched on my shoulder as I grabbed a seat. "Find any good bugs around the house?" I pat his head and he squawked at the notion. "I thought you would. Anyway, once I settle in this place, we'll go hunting together I swear. But for now, I've already risked enough suspicion." He looked at me as if he understood what I was saying. I enjoyed that. "I don't understand how I was ever able to sleep at night. It's so annoying. It's a waste of time in my book. But I better 'rest up' for tomorrow." I arose from my chair and headed upstairs to my room. I sat on my bed and looked out the window. I stared at a large glowing green house that just kind of seemed to stick out. I eventually took a sleeping pill not being able to sleep, and as it dissolved in my system, sleep eventually stroke me again.
"What is happening? Where am I?" I looked around. It was dark and I was outside and alone… "Hello?" I called out as an echo rang through the area. "Can anybody hear me?" Nothing… Just echoes. I started walking which then evolved into a brisk run. I didn't know where I was going, but I had to find somebody. "Can no one help me?!" Suddenly, I felt a horrible burn start to spread all over my body. The night was fading and the sun was rearing its head. "What is this?! I thought I would be safe as long as I had blood!" But alas, the pain intensified and I halted and fell to the ground. "Who is doing this?!" I cried as my skin started burning and pealing off my body. "Please… anyone!"
"HELP!" I sat up, breathing heavily. "…It was only a dream. What was that about anyway?" I rubbed my head and got up and ready for school.
