"GIR!"

"Yes, master?" A robot quickly came up with a very unintelligent look on his face, seeming not to pay attention to Zim much.

"We have a new mission, Gir."

"TACOSS!" The robot ran around the room for a few seconds before running into a huge metal wire.

"STOP FOOLING AROUND GIR. We have to capture a HUMAN... I think.. one named, Licorice."

Licorice walked along in an isolated grassy area surrounded by trees. She stumbled upon it randomly while searching for places to go,. She noticed that so far no one ever comes there, so she's been staying there a lot. She sat down on the ground, propping herself up with one arm, laying the other on her side. She admired the greenery she hadn't seen in a while, a place they actually kept clean, or hasn't come upon to mess it up, atleast.

After a while of looking around, drawing with a pencil she took... and paper from the school, she decided to lie down on the grass and admire the stars that were now out.

"It's so clear.. and pretty.." She whispered, and smiled a little. But her smile quickly faded when she heard a voice come from the trees to the side. Her ears straightened up and she listened very closely.

"Who are you?" A male's voice was heard from the side of her. She quickly sat up and looked over; she saw a shadow was all, no thanks to the moon.

"Well, um, who are you first?" She tried to sound like she wasn't worried, but her voice cracked some, not helping at all.

"Licorice?" The shadow stepped out into the light where she could visibly see who it was.

"D-Dib? What are you doing here!" Licorice quickly stood up and stood in a rather defensive pose.

"I come here every night to observe the sky... Why are you here?"

She stood back normally, feeling kind of embarrassed for being so defensive.

"Oh.. Well.. I like to stay here at night because it's the only place I have found that's actually green.. and I like to watch the stars..." She replied rather hesitantly, being that she didn't want anyone to know where she stayed, but she for some reason didn't care to tell him. But after a moments thinking she regretted it after remembering how he acted towards her earlier today.

"I see... well. I actually wanted to say sorry for how I acted earlier to you." He sat down on the ground and started setting up.. weird.. equipment looking things.

"Oh... I-its okay. I understand the circumstances and caution." She sat back down as well, but sat a distance away from him.

"That's surprising, actually. Almost all people don't even understand me" He laughed a little.

"Oh, well... I.." She really didn't know what to say after that. An awkward silence soon came. She looked in the opposite direction at pretty much... nothing. After about 3 minutes of silence, Dib cleared his throat to say something;

"Soooo, uh.. You like to look at the stars too, huh?"

"Oh.. yeah...It's kinda peaceful .. to me atleast." She looked down at the ground infront of her, clasping her hands together.

"Yeah, for me too. Although I watch it more for the research I do then just enjoyment."

Licorice turned her head to stare at him for a moment, before starting to laugh a little.

"What's so funny?" He asked, rather defensive.

"Oh, no no, I'm not laughing at you or what you said, you just remind me of someone." She smiled sweetly before lying back down on the grass.

"..Oh" He seemed to stare at Licorice, though she didn't notice, for a moment. Then he put on some kind of headset of some sort and started messing around with a technical looking machine, similar looking to a laptop in size.

After a few moments Licorice decided to look over to see just what he was looking at, she gasped quietly and her eyes widened in interest

"Whhuuaaa.. Is that like, all the stars and planets up close?" She questioned in a very excited-like tone, she rolled over on to her stomach and stared at the screen.

"Oh, actually, yes. I can get close enough to see things of the surface of any star or planet aswell." He seemed to enjoy explaining something like that, since no one else ever seems to care.

"W-wow! That's so cool!" She smiled brightly, her eyes pretty much glued to that screen.

Dib slightly smiled while looking at Licorice and her enthusiasm and excitement.

"Licorice," He whispered more quietly,

"Ehmm, Yes?" She eventually turned her head and looked at him, though it was quite hard considering she was enjoying looking at all the stars pass by up close.

"You're probably going to think I'm crazy saying this, just like everyone else... But did you know that Zim is an alien?"

Licorice stared for a moment, and then she stared down to the ground, thinking for a minute.

"I know you don't believe me, but I have proof!" He pulled out numerous CD's from his pocket.

"Actually, I do believe you. It just seems that you're so concerned about him doing something when he hasn't even done anything."

"You weren't here! He's tried to destroy earth like, 5 times!"

Licorice gasped just a little, her eyes almost closed and her excitement quickly faded; she stared at the sky instead of the screen.

"He doesn't act like someone that would do that..." She whispered, barely audible.

Dib was about to say something, until he realized her emotions at that moment. He stayed quiet and continued to do his research.

After a few minutes, Licorice fell asleep. He quietly packed up his equipment and walked out of the forest, most likely to home.

-The next morning-

Licorice woke up slowly, slitting her eyes. She was about to pick up her hand, but she realized she couldn't move her arms or legs. Licorice quickly snapped her eyes open. All she saw were machines, wires, and technical-looking things she didn't even know what it was. She looked around and spotted something curled up... sleeping?

"Uhm.. H-hello?" Licorice said quietly, the thing appeared to be breathing but didn't wake up. She looked around and saw 2 red buttons next to her, within her tails reach. One said "Emergency button" and one said "Release"

"Release must mean to get these things to come off" She thought. After thinking for a moment, she put out her tail and pushed the Release button. Red lights flashed within the room and sirens beeped loudly. She panicked until she realized that the object over there was still asleep. She sighed in relief, but it was short-lived. Some elevator-like thing came down to the level, a dark figure stepped out of it.

"GIR! I thought you were watching the capturer!" The figure yelled. Licorice gasped. She recognized that voice, but she couldn't quite remember where or why. She looked over and saw the once-curled up object now standing up.

"A... robot?" She whispered,

"Yesss, He is my little slave." The figure stepped out from the darkness.

"Z-Zim?" Licorice gasped.

"That's right, filthy HUMAYN. Since you are now captured by me which was such an easy task to do since you were so vulnerable. I am going to be testing you. But not right now, I have other issues to work on. Gir, you watch her closely and make sure she doesn't get away." He walked back into the elevator-looking thing and left.

Licorice stared at pretty much nothing, her eyes wide and in thought.

"I can't believe it... But why me? If he tests on me that probably means he's also going to... kill me..." She thought, many things ran through her head, but she got distracted by...Gir? She's guessing.

"Hi! I'm Gir! I like WAFFLES!" He danced around and waved, acting rather... unintelligent. She stared oddly.

"Um. Cool... That's, interesting." She smiled and laughed awkwardly. Gir stared at her for a few minutes with a smile and his tongue sticking out, all of the sudden he fell asleep again.

"Um.. okay.." She stared for a few seconds to make sure he was asleep, and then she pressed the other button, which released her. Licorice sat up and stepped off the table, and tip-toed around, trying to find an exit, unfortunately, in the process she accidently tripped on a wire, causing Gir to wake up. She laid there and looked up at him; He slid in front of her with now red eyes and a solid stand.

"Stop, you are to stay here as my master told me to watch you, you will not leave"

Licorice stared for a moment, before deciding to just flat-out ask the rather unintelligent robot.

"Um, where is the exit and where is your master?" Licorice asked rather hesitantly, she didn't know if he was smart enough to tell Zim, or to just answer her. His red eyes turned back to blue and his tongue once again stuck out to the side.

"The exit is right over there; my master is in the equipment room which is the 7th floor!" Gir pointed to the elevator, it was rather creepy looking but it will have to do if Licorice wants to get out. Gir started dancing around and spazzing out, in which Licorice backed away and then tiptoed over and into the elevator.

"Let's see, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th... Ah! 3rd floor says ... "House" Well, I guess that's it." She pressed it and it took her to the middle floor.. Through a hole in the floor..

"How.. odd" Licorice whispered. She spotted the door and she smiled. She quietly walked over to the door, Mid-way through her hand going down to the door-knob, she was interrupted.

"Apparently Gir can't do the job right, so I guess I will have to. Prepare to meet your last moment" Zim's evil laughter filled the house and echoed off the walls, Licorice was frozen there.
