When Zim woke up the next morning Dib was the first thing he remembered. He quickly put on his wig and contacts and ran through the kitchen past Gir.
"Gir, I'm going out to destroy my nemesis! Guard the base while I'm gone!" Zim yelled as he ran out the door.
"… OKAY HAVE FUN!" Gir yelled back.
Dib only lived a couple blocks away so Zim didn't have very far to go. What he planned to do was go straight to Dib's house then bust him there.
'I don't believe it, I'm finally going to win once and for-' He didn't get to finish that thought because he had reached Dib's house and it was surrounded by police cars.
Zim stared in horror as two policemen put Dib, his Dib, in handcuffs and threw him in the back seat of one of the cars.
"Um, excuse me? What the hell are you doing!" Zim yelled at a police lady.
The lady looked at him funny "What does it look like we're doing? We're arresting a homicidal kid." She replied in a Brooklyn accent.
"Really are you?" Zim said sarcastically. "But why?"
The lady sighed and started to explain. "The kid who lives here was turned in last night and we're takin' 'im to jail.
'WHAT! Someone else has defeated the Almighty ZIM'S enemy!' The alien cursed in Irken under his breath. 'If only I hadn't waited... stupid sleep.'
"… Arrested under what charges?"
"Eh, he murdered about eleven people."
"The Dib human did no such thing. He wouldn't have," The alien said forcefully, causing the lady to flinch. "The reason Dib-thing exists is to be Zim's enemy and to try to help the filthy human race, not kill people."
Zim wouldn't stand for his nemesis being defeated by someone else. Either Zim defeated him or Dib didn't get defeated at all.
"You must have the wrong worm-baby. You should let him go now."
The lady was cowering from the forceful tone in Zim's voice by now.
"Um… do you know him?"
Zim sighed. "Yes Zim knows him, he goes to my skool. He's in my class actually." He decided to leave out the part about them being bitter enemies.
"Ya know, you talk really weird kid." The lady decided to take a chance. She still seemed confused though. "Hey did you ever hear 'im talking to his friends about any crime plans or somethin'? She questioned.
Zim didn't really know how to answer that. "…Dib-thing doesn't… have any friends…" the Irken said quietly.
"Huh, well that might further explain why he killed those-"
"HE DID NOT KILL THEM!" Zim blurted. "The Dib would never kill anyone except-" 'me' He was glad he stopped himself from saying that out loud.
"Except who?" The annoying police officer shook him from his thoughts.
"Uh,… maybe a bug…?" Zim struggled for an appropriate response. It did seem to fit since he did look kind of like a bug without his disguise on.
The police lady gave him another quick look and shrugged it off. "Eh, what do I care? Point is, we're takin' him in now. Sorry about your friend but there's nothing really I can do. See ya." She said while getting in the police car.
She apparently either hadn't really been paying attention to the 'Dib having no friends' thing or she had forgotten already but she smiled at Zim before driving off while he shouted "HE'S NOT MY FRIEND!" to her but Zim had lost the forcefulness in his voice and she ignored him.
The Irken stood there in the middle of the road and watched Dib in the back seat of the police car as he drove out of sight, a glare fixed on his green face.
"Either Zim defeats Dib or he doesn't get defeated at all." Zim whispered to himself and turned around and started walking back to his base.
A/N: Holy crap I updated! Again it's been like 5 months… hell.
But yes! Thanks to reading The Rats of NIMH I've now been motivated enough to type this! HuZzAh!
And I wrote this and the next chapter but they sucked so I re-wrote this on the computer and completely re-wrote the next chapter altogether on paper. Just thought you'd love to know that and would die without that information.
And I was listening to Aliens Invading by Ke$ha the whole time I was typing this! XD
That song is really Irken, I just love it. If you have never heard it you should go look it up right now… I mean after you review o' course…
It's a proven fact that if I give you artificial cookies you will automatically review so here you go! *gives fake cookie to reviewer*
