A/N: Another chapter. :)
Nothing much to say for this chapter, just that I hope I did the characters justice.
Invader Zim (c) Jhonen Vasquez
Best Enemies
Chapter 2: Yeah, Whatever Zim.
"Oooops…"
GIR looked down at the broken piece of equipment lying in the front room of the house. Little colourful wires protruded from one end where it had been attached the uppermost corner of the wall. GIR pushed out a foot, and tapped the broken camera, which was now sparking from the wires. Laughing, and forgetting about the broken camera, he continued to run around, a small toy moose in one hand, a pink piggy in the other.
"GIR? What is this?"
GIR turned towards Zim, who had now stepped into the room and stared down at the broken camera.
"I don't know…" GIR replied, looking back down at the camera too.
"Hmm." Zim narrowed his eyes and bent down towards the camera, picking it up between two fingers and holding it as far as he could from his body like it was a wild animal… or some form of smelly trash. He began to laugh, and swiftly chucked the camera towards the door, "Must be The Dib-monkey again. Ahaha, will he never learn?"
"Oh… goodie… at least I broked something that was not yours…" GIR closed his cyan eyes happily, and began to run around with the toys again.
"GIR, I have a new plan to destroy these filthy dirt-babies." Zim said, walking towards the door and putting his disguise on, "It's pretty ingenious if I do say so myself… and I want to get started as soon as possible!"
"Okaaay!" GIR exclaimed, jumping up into the air He did a series of flips and twists before landing in the feet of his doggy suit. Zipping it up, he pulled the hood over his head and gave Zim a thumbs up.
Zim opened the door, and both him and GIR exited the base, walking quickly out of the cal-de-sac.
"Wheeere're weeee goin'?" GIR asked once they turned the corner.
"To that place the filthy hyumans collect water from." Zim muttered, looking around.
"The ocean?"
"No GIR."
"A lake?"
"No… it's like what the robotic beavers build… or something like that." Zim waved a gloved hand in the air, "But hyumans built it."
"Oooh…" GIR breathed.
"Once there, I will put this-" Zim reached a hand into his PAK and pulled out a circular object with flashing crimson red lights around it.
"What is it!?" GIR asked loudly, taking the round object from Zim's hands, and cutting Zim off on what he was going to say.
"It's a draining device."
"Oh…" GIR turned it around in his now stubby black paws, "WHAT is IT!?"
"A draining device, GIR!" Zim repeated, annoyed.
"What's it do!?"
Zim slapped a hand to his forehead, and dragged it down the front of his face. Taking the ball from GIR's paws, they turned another corner. Zim, not watching where he was going, tripping over something over the sidewalk, the draining device flying from his hands and landing in some grass by the fence.
"Hey! It's that Big Head Kid!" GIR exclaimed, running up to the now muttering person on the ground. "Watcha doin'?"
"DIB!" Zim growled, standing up quickly and brushing dirt off himself, "Already planning to ruin my plans!? Huh!?"
"What?" The person, Dib, stood up and brushed his own dirt off himself, "What plans?"
"Ah-HA!" Zim pointed a finger at Dib," My plan to…" He paused, the words Dib had really said actually got through and processed in the Invader's brain. Zim was confused, though… he'd never admit it. "Don't play dumb, Dib-stink! I know you know!"
Dib leaned over and closed a metal looking briefcase, "No, Zim… I don't know."
"AH-HA! I knew… what?" Zim caught himself once again, and stared stupidly at the Dib creature.
"His Big Head must've shrunk!" GIR exclaimed, waving his little paws in the air, "Are you shrinking Big Head Kid!?" Are ya!?"
Dib looked down at the green dog and back up at the confused Invader. "For real, Zim… I'm not playing, I'm done." Dib didn't spare another glance at the two before walking away from them.
"Oh… he don't want to play today, master!" GIR exclaimed, running towards Dib, "Why don't cha want to play today!?"
Zim just stood there, watching Dib walk away from him. That was good, right? Dib was walking away, leaving this filthy dirt ball of a planet in the hands of Zim. Nobody would stand in his way anymore. Ever!
"What's this do?" Dib asked suddenly, leaning down and picking up the draining device that flew from Zim's hands.
Zim took this as an opportunity to attack the Dib hyuman. Although, it wasn't really much of an attack as it was just jumping at him and snatching the draining device from his hands.
"Ah! Thought you could outsmart the mighty ZIM!" Zim exclaimed, holding the device high above his head. He quickly brought it back down and shielded it behind his body, "You will never, never outsmart me, Dib! Never!"
Dib sighed, growing tired of the alien and his robot. "Yeah, whatever Zim." He turned, and continued to walk away, towards his house.
Zim growled in frustration. The Dib was acting nothing like he usually did. Maybe this was another of his ploys, a plot to sneak attack Zim. Maybe Dib was actually going to outsmart Zim. No… Zim would have none of that.
"Run while you can, now, Dib-monkey!" Zim yelled after Dib's walking away form, "But I'll be watching YOU! You will never be able to outsmart ZIM! I will know! I'll know!"
"Bye-BYE, Shrinking Big Head Kid! Bye-bye!" GIR called happily, waving a black paw in the air.
Zim, however, was not happy at all. Confused as can be at why Dib was not trying to steal his device, or put a stop to his plans, Zim turned and stomped away, GIR skipping after him.
"Oh, he'll be back, GIR," Zim muttered, placing the device back into his PAK, "He'll find us at the hyuman water collecting facility, and he'll try to put a stop to our plans."
