Here is the much anticipated chapter 6. Sorry about 5, I did not like how some of it turned out.
Chapter 6: Why are you here?
Narrator talking: Zim did not know what to think when he saw that his son and daughter in law had brought in his arch nemesis from 60 some years ago. He was angry that he was here, but also confused why he looked exactly same as he did when he left him on Earth 60 years ago. Not much different could be said for Dib, he to was angry to see Zim in the home of his new alien friends, but also confused why he had grown in height since he left him only, to him, a day and a half ago.
"What are you doing here pig stink!?" said Zim.
"I could ask you the same, alien scum!"
"Hey!"
"Oh, sorry Rek," said Dib.
"Ahhhhh! The big headed kid is back!!" exclaimed GIR as he ran over and clutched to Dib's legs.
"Ah! Get off of me!"
The room was filled with a sense of confusion and… um…more confusion. Zim was wondering why Dib was still alive, and looking so young, Dib was wondering why Rek took him to what he thought was appeared to be Zim's home when he said that he was taking him to his home, Rek/ Kez/ Midge/ Lia/ Gin/ Key were all confused as to why GIR was hugging Dib's legs.
"WILL EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!!" commanded Kez.
The room suddenly went silent. Everyone looked in horror at Kez, who was now acting like her deceased mother in law.
"Okay," she said after immediately calming down. "I guess we have some explaining to do."
"You bet you do! Why is it that you bring this filth into the house of ZIMMM!?"
"Yeah, and how did he
grow so quickly after only a day and a half?"
"What? It's
been much longer than a day since I last saw you Dib stink!"
"I know, that's why I said a day and a half."
"No you moron! It's
been over 60 years!"
"What!? But… that's impossible! Isn't it?" asked Dib.
"It's a time warp thing," said Gin out of no where.
The multitude of people in the room all looked at the little Irken as to marvel at her logic at such a young age.
"Hey, that makes sense," said Lia.
"It does, doesn't it," said Midge in agreement.
The whole room looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Now Rek, who are all these people?" asked Dib.
"Ah yes, Dib, the two sitting on the couch are Kez's parents Midge and Lia, the two smeets you see on the floor are mine and Kez's children Key and Gin."
"Smeet?" asked Dib.
"Irken young."
"Do not reveal to him any of our secrets my son!" demanded Zim
"Son!?" asked Dib.
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you who my father was, and it's… well… Zim."
"I am so confused! If it's been 60 years, why do you look over all the same?"
Simple Dib stink, Irkens, being a superior race, do not age like humans do. Instead of continuously aging, we reach a certain point in our lives when we don't age. That age can be any where from 80 years of age to 90 years," answered Zim in a mocking tone.
"After that age," he continued. "We just grow in height."
" 'grow…in… height," repeated Dib as he continued to take notes.
"Doh! Give me that!" said Zim as he snatched the note book out of Dib's hands.
"Hey! Give that back!" said Dib as he jumped at Zim.
Zim saw this coming, so he activated his spider legs to dodge his lunge with ease. Zim then gave Dib a sinister glare.
"You wouldn't Dib said, as if knowing what Zim was planning.
Zim just smiled as he threw the note book to GIR, who proceeded to eat it.
"Mwahaha! Now you can't reveal what you have learned about this place! GIR! Destroy the sad little earth monkey!" commanded Zim.
"Yes sir!" saluted GIR as he went into duty mode.
GIR then ran into the kitchen and started pulling out various cooking materials, and proceeded in making an Earth cake.
Zim just threw his hand over his face in dismay. "Why me", he thought to himself. Dib just shrugged his shoulders and looked at Rek with yet another question.
"Wait, Key and Gin's mother is Kez right?"
"Yes," responded Rek.
"And Kez's mother is Lia, right?"
"Yeah, what's your point?"
"If Zim, is your father, and apparently Irkens do not reproduce asexually…"
"Well, some of us come from birthing capsules," interrupted Midge.
"Oh, but you didn't, right Rek?" asked Dib.
"No, I'm a natural born."
"That's what I was guessing. So who's your mother? Zim's mate?"
With that question the whole room went silent again. Zim deactivated his spider legs and walked quickly up the steps to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.
"What just happened?" asked Dib.
"Dib, I think you should see something," said Rek in a sad sounding voice.
"Ummm… we can see that this is a pretty hectic time you, so we're going to go," said Lia. She and Midge felt really awkward when the subject of Zim's mate came up.
The two quickly left after saying a quick good bye to Kez and Rek. After the two had left, Rek led Dib to the back yard. Rek stopped about 20 feet away from what he was going to show Dib.
"Now Dib, walk over to that tree, and you'll find my mother."
Dib looked over at the tree, he saw nothing. He then proceeded to the tree and saw a stone marker with words inscribed on it. He looked around and saw no, just the stone.
"I don't see anyone."
"Oh my Irk, read what's on the stone you moron! Sheesh!" said Rek, in a very annoyed manner. He could now see why Zim said Dib was stupid.
Dib looked down at the stone slate, and looked at the Irken inscriptions. He had studied the language in his spare time and spoke it semi-fluently. Luckily for him, the words on it were simple words.
"Tak… friend…mother… and mate," he read. It took Dib a moment to get it. He suddenly snapped into attention when he realized what it meant.
"Oh my god…" Dib said completely flabbergasted.
Dib slowly walked over to Rek, who was silently crying.
"Zim and …Tak?" Dib asked.
