6. Caged
GIR didn't understand. He was confused, but there wasn't much to distract him in this bleak gray box.
"M-master?" he whimpered.
One minute he had been having fun, squealing that the Scary Monkey show was on into Zim's antennae, the next there was a loud noise and everything went black.
His AI restarted and GIR woke to bars all around him.
He squeaked when a door opened. But it was only Big Head Boy. He had something shiny in his hand.
"Hiii, Big Head!"
7. Mirror
Zim bent down on the edge of a clear pond. He could see the silver fish flicker at the bottom. Gentle claws dipped into the surface, causing ripples to disrupt the image that so worried Zim.
It was not the reflection of a green-skinned Irken, but something much more familiar.
An enemy.
8. Sight
"Ow! Crap…" Dib exclaimed, running into the side of the doorway. Torque had taken his glasses at Skool today and stepped on them. Dad wasn't home, and Gaz would just make things worse if the demonic child was asked for help. So, there he was, stumbling everywhere with his hands extended out on front of him, running into things trying to make it to his bedroom. Safe.
As Dib lay asleep, breathing silently, he does not know of the presence just outside his very window.
That night, Zim vowed to never steal Dib's eye protectors. It just wasn't sporting.
But every once in a while, he thought as he smiled wickedly, it would be fun.
9. Glass
His scream echoed throughout the house. It was tortured, heart-broken.
The cry of someone betrayed by the one he had loved, still loves.
One last scream sounds before he shatters completely.
Like broken glass.
10. Brace
"We'll get through this, I promise."
Professor Membrane puts a thick hand on Gaz's shoulder and they both stare down sadly at their relative in the hospital bed.
"It can't last forever, can it?" she asked tentatively.
Dib pulled at the neck brace. "Do I really look that bad?"
I'm not sad anymore! XP
7-I am so proud
9-I'll let you imagine who it was
