"Ah, fuck!" Dib cursed as he got out from under the covers. "Hello?"
It was his boss "who's this?" he said rather tired, Rubbing his eyes.
the man on the other end got slightly irritated "Oh Sorry mister wilson."
the man spoke some more, rather upset "Hold on I'll check" as he pulled his pants up.
He said grabbing the digital clock from the night stand twelve-thrity " Oh my god! I'm sorry mister Wilson I'll be in right away."
a question was asked over the phone "I was up late last night."
another question "uh I was at ,uh a party."
Wilson was now less angry "I'll be in right away sir" Dib hung up " son of a bitch!" He yelled aloud Immediatly Grabbing a 'slipknot' t-shirt.
"Never wake me up on time, Force me to go to Zims place at one a.m." cursing the events of the previous night he walked into the kitchen where he found Zein eating a Frosted flakes cereal bar "where are Zim and Gaz?" Dib asked
"Gaz?" Zein asked
"the girl you saw last night, Remember?" Dib said
"oh yeah, she said something about going to a place she called 'the mall' then she gave me this thing to eat, and then she left" He said holding out the half eaten cereal bar
"thats a cereal bar, Zein" Dib told him
"hm, cereal bar" Zein said slowly as he eyed it closely "it's pretty good" he announced as he took a large bite out of it
Dib sighed "they probably went to get you some clothes to wear" Dib sighed again I'll go get you some of my clothes for now , get ready to go"
"what?" Zein Asked puzzled
Dib grabbed the keys to his truck "you dont expect me to leave you here by yourself, now make yourself a disguise so we can get going."
" Smell that air" Gaz said inhaling deeply
"it smells like 'Chic-fil-a" Zim said as Gaz jumped down from the edge of the water fountain that she was standing on
"but thats what so great about it, a place where everyone can hang out and interact with others, Gods gift to teenagers if you ask me" Gaz said satisfaction evident on her face
"sounds more like human mind control to me" Zim said with slight snark at Gaz's uncharacteristic behavior "What do you wanna do first"
Gaz thought about this "well since its the most important thing at the moment lets get Zeins clothes"
Zim shrigged his shoulder "Sounds good to Zim." Gaz and Zim turned in the Direction of the hot topic.
"Ok Guys, my Boss is coming over so you guys got to get the hell out of here" Dib informed Sid and herald the local stood around all day selling fireworks at the quickstop he worked at
"We aint sellin' anything Dib" sid Said
"Yeah man were just hangin' around Herald said smoke from his cigarette floating out of his mouth.
Dib sighed "well you gotta go until at least 3:30" both teens collectively groaned "I hear the eds aren't at their corner today, seems like open game to me" Dib told them
Sid imediatly started grinning "Why the hell are we here then? To the Bowling alley!" Sid yelled As both of them ran off
Dib laughed out loud "That ought'a teach Eddy to shoplift from me."
Dib Walked into the Quickstop after Placing a sign that said 'we are very much open' over the stuck steel curtain that was infront of the window to see Zein, who now wore a pair of baggy pants and a metallica t-shirt, his holo disguise gave him the look of a brown haired teenager with green eyes. he was staring at a refridgerator filled with jolt energy soda "what are these?" Zein asked
"they're energy drinks, Humans like me drink them so we can stay awake" Dib opened the door and pulled out two jolt energy cola and gave one to Zein "try one" he said opening his.
Zein opened his jolt cola and drank it "tastes good" he said "kinda bitter though."
"It grows on you" Dib said opening a box of Candy bars that were to be shelved
"Something seems to be bothering you Dib" Zein asked
"nothing just stress, This job isn't the most fun thing in the world, then My senior year starts up after this summer" Dib told him putting the Candy bars in the proper places on the display
"is this all" Zein questioned again
Dib sighed a bit "and I've been thinking about someone lately"
"who" Zein asked further
"No one special" he said sort of lying in the process "Just someone I knew from a while back."
/Corrosive tainted by my sin I'm spilling blood and I Cant. Hardly contain it/.
the lyrics of static-x 'push it' boomed through zims head as he listened to the song at a listening station inside the hot-topic everything around him pushed out as he nodded his head in rythm with the music.
"So why are you hanging out with Zim today Gaz" Zita said to Gaz
"His house is being fumagated so we're letting him stay at our place" Gaz explained
"any other reason you guys are out?" Zita asked Ringing up a pair of 'Tripp' pants for her
"One of Zims friends are staying over, he's still a bit zonked out from the jet lag so we're here getting his friend some clothes while he's here" Gaz said
"Sounds fun, Your total price will be seventy-five dollars and fifteen cents"
Gaz paid the amount "I'll see you later Zita" Gaz said taking her Bags
Zita waved as she walked off "Tell Dib I said hi."
Gaz looked around for Zim only to find him still at the listening station, he stood there with his eyes closed obviously enjoying whatever he was listening to she walked up quietly next to him and looked at the song he was listening to 'Typical' Gaz thought to herself Zim was listening to 'king of kings' by motorhead "Oi Zim!" she immediatly hit him in the back of the head with her hand
"Ow! what do you want?" Zim said rubbing his head while taking the headphones off
"we're going to the arcade." Gaz said as she signalled for him to follow.
"It strikes me funny that You humans spend large quantities of monnies to play a simple video game" Zim said as they entered the arcade that had about half as many teens in it as usual
"A hobby's a hobby" Gaz said looking around for a good game "let's play Street fighter" she pointed out the 'street fighter 2: championship edition game across the arcade.
fifteen minutes later "Impossible! Zim cant possibly loose With Zangief" they had just finished there fifth round, Gaz had just beat Zim for the third time with Chun li "I Want a rematch" Gaz put her hand up in refusal " No thanks zim," she paused looking aroud "You know what really strikes me funny is the fact that this is only half as populated as normal" she then so happened to notice the Top scores on a row of Five machines 'IGGINS!' only one word passed through Gazs' mind at that moment 'Fuck!' "I think it's time to go Zim" Gaz said looking around rapidly "What do you mean? we just got here and was wanting to play ddr." Zim questioned brow raised "I just have this really bad feeling someone I don't like is gonna show --" Gaz turned around only to look straight into the Bulging eyes of Iggins "Up" Gaz finished dumbfounded.
Over the years iggins had lost weight, how ever as his physique got smaller, his ego got bigger, Iggins and Gazs' feud got more heated as the years Both teens were Trading off Top high scores on almost all the games in the Arcade on a weekly basis. "What are you doing here Gaz!" Iggins said his left eye twitching slightly
"Hello Iggins." Gaz greeted flatly.
"I thought we agreed that as long as I was the Superior gamer that you stayed out of MY Arcade" Iggins Stated loudly
"Your arcade?" Gaz asked with a raised Eyebrow
"Yes my arcade,and I suggest you leave, or Do I have to throw you and your boyfriend here out myself" He said pointing to Zim to punctuate the boyfriend quip
Gaz was trying to keep composure "First; he's not my boyfriend, and second; I bet either of us could easily own you at any of the games here" Gaz stated
"Bet you say?" Iggins eye twitched at the words Gaz Spoke
"Are you up to it, oh almighty master gamer?" Gaz mocked
"Name your terms" Iggins said
"each of us will pick a game, then we'll each play against eachother, if me and zim win the most games we win, but if you win the most games you win." Gaz stated "And if me and Zim win you will Give us all the money in your pocket, and Find a new Arcade to muck about at and never returns to this one"
Iggins Frowned "ok then But if I win" Iggins puased thinking out the worst possible consequence for them "You give me all the money in both your pockets and You" he paused pointing at Gaz "will go on a Date with me" Gaz cringed "and you'll wear a dress, a red one "
Gaz was filled with disgust now "I would never--"
"Unless of course you'll just admit I'm the superior gamer and leave it at that hmm"
Gaz sneered"Your on" She held threw her hand out to officiallise the bet
"woah hold on there Gaz" Iggins threw up his hands "Im out numbered, So if you wouldn't mind, I would like to even the playing field a bit" he said snapping his fingers and out from behind the Counter in the arcade Came a Mess of red hair wairing a AFI t-shirt Zims Eyes widen as he instantly realised who it was after he Yelled out "Hi Zim!"
'oh Irk! it's him' Zim mentally cursed the boy that Zim had stupidly befriended in skool, Keef!
"I've been looking for you everwhere, how ya been buddy?" Keef greeted Zim
"Blech!" Zim only hissed in response
"So keef how would you like to play a game with your old friend, hmm?" Iggins said to Keef
" Sounds super" Keef said his voice perky as hell.
Iggins Grinned and held out his hand "So the bet is on then Gaz ?" Gaz turned to Zim "You up for this Zim?"
Zim Yelled out with gusto "Zim is always ready to Make the keef-bug Cry."
Gaz Turned back to Iggins "It's on."
"Membrane!"
Dib immediatly turned to see his boss walk in for the weekly check up "good afternoon Mr. wilson" Dib greeted.
The Balding mans face remained in a frown "Cut the small shit membrane, where are those dealers I've seen recently" Dibs struggled to keep a straight face
"Im sorry sir, But as far as I know This isn't a business spot for drug dealing" Dib said calmly smiling
Wilsons face remained in its frown "who the hell is he?" He said pointing over to Zein who was busy looking at all the sodas at the Soda fountain
"What now?" Zein turned around to look at
"He is my..uh" dib stuttered "my cousin, Zane"
Wilson pushed his bifocals up "Zane huh" scof He fed "what Can you do?"
Zein spoke up, saluting "I'm experienced in all degrees of Labor, sir"
Wilson Stared remaining quiet for who knows how long Before droping the biggest bomb in Dibs lif "your hired"
"What?" "huh?" Both Dib and Zein asked out
"he's hired, Dib you're the new manager." Mr. Wilson looked at Zein "Get him a uniform" Wilson paused walking towards the door "I'll see you two next week" He left, Both teenagers Dumbstruck
"what just happened?" Zein Asked Dib wide-eyed
Dib was equally wide-eyed "I think we just became co-workers."

About a half hour had passed before three Teens walked into the store, the shortest one of the three was rather angry "ok Dib I know you're the one who put Sid and herald on our corner"
dib couldn't contain his grin "Why eddy I have no idea what your talking about."
Eddy was very angry "We went to our corner and the freaks from one-eighteen were standing there" He yelled
"Dude calm down, you can just take their corner" Dib stated
"But all the good business takes place on our corner" eddy groaned
"Well,not today, so take their corner, besides wilson gone so you won't have to worry about getting caught, oh and heres Eds cigarettes" The tallest of the three grabbed the pack of cigarettes and walked out to take the corner "So how are you today double D " Dib asked turning to the teen in the wool cap
"rather unwell To be completely honest" Edd stated rather glumly "whats going on double D" Dib asked
"he and Naz Broke up."Eddy said
"ooh!" Dib hissed "That sucks man, Naz was pretty hot"
"it sucks beyond the point of all rational thought Dib." Edd groaned slamming his head on the counter
"Ok heres what you do Edd" Dib instructed "Go home listen to your favorite music, stay the hell away from open windows, moving vehicles, knives and the songs you listened to most when you were around her, Watch Star trek and play the most Violent video game that you own"
"Thanks Dib" edd said still slightly depressed
"Double d lets go" Eddy Demanded "we got business." Eddy said motioning to the three men talking to Ed. Both edd and eddy left paying for their purchased goods
"They're certainly goin' places" Dib said chuckling at himself
"Where do you think Zim and your sister are" Zein asked Coming back out from stocking the back Freezer.
Dib raised his eyebrow wondering this also "hopefully something productive and nonviolent."
Oh Mama mia Mama mia!
Mama mia let me go!
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
Both Gaz and Zim were Driving down the freeway from the mall, head banging as they rode in Gaz's Jeep, they had just got out of the mall after Beating Iggins and Keef in what may be perhaps the most intense Game-off ever in the history of all mankind. They started with Mortal kombat 2 where Iggins Zim first beat Iggins Sub zero with Barraka, Gaz did not fair as well against Keefs Jax as sonya, of course it was because Iggins 'accidently' bumped her other wise she would have won. it was then one to one each with a win, each with a loss. they moved on to need for speed where Zim beat Keef placing first where keef placed fourth. then Gaz and Iggins who both tied in the game which Im not even sure if thats possible but it happened, trust me, it was awesome. Since they both tied each team got a point so both teams were still tied two For two then it was time for the final tie breaker DDR Dance dance revolution this was where Gaz and Zim whipped Iggins and keefs butts playing 'Enter the dragon' Both danced as though the had been practicing forever, perfectly in sync even! When they won Iggins Bursted out into a crying fit "But I'm the superior Gamer, not you!" His cries were heard through out the arcade, The money that iggins and keef gave them totalled out to two hundred dollars amazingly this gave them the afternoon to get Zim a new wig and some new clothes for him and Gaz.
And that led to this wonderfull little celebration of them driving down the freeway banging their head to the many songs that Gaz had on her Ipod
"You have rather good taste in music Gaz" Zim said in approval of the Mindless self indulgence song now playing over the speaker
" Thanks, Zim , but I must say that your skills at video games are quite Good" Gaz said
"oh, but compared to you Zim is am but meer novice" Zim Said Adjusting his new wig
"regardless of skill, I probably wouldn't have won with out your help Zim" Gaz said frowning a little bit
"So that would makes us even, correct?" Zim asked
"What?" Gaz asked confused
"yesterday you helped me get out of those Hand cuffs your brother put me in, I said I would have to return the favor later on, of course you punched me in the face...but Zim always stick to his word" Zim stated
"I'll consider myself lucky then" Gaz said. A few minutes silence passed "ZIm's only question is how did Gaz got to be so agile?" Zim asked "You played Dance Dance Revolution with the grace of a cheer leader"
"I will take the cheerleader comment as a compliment"Gaz laughed at that "as for the learning part" she got serious "would you like to find out?"
