Invader Zim don't belong to me and neither do their characters. But Todd do belong to me.
This maybe seems random, sorry if it's not what you expected.
Chapter three: Supermarket day
Todd was walking normally to her classroom when she felt something in her arm. It was Dib's hand.
"Oh, hi Dibbie"
"Hi. Uh, I just wanted to know if you're okay. I mean, everything in Zim's house turned well? No dangerous stuff?"
"Actually, he almost killed me" she answered.
"What?! Why?! Are you okay?! How did you save yourself?!" Dib asked, okay, no. He yelled.
"Easy, easy Dib. I'm okay, ya see? I'm just fine" she said as she showed she was perfectly fine "He decided not to kill me but I have to be his assistan"
"I repeat, WHAT?! Now you are his assistan?!"
"Yeah, pretty much"
"You're fine with it?! You don't care he may order you to do something you don't want to?!"
"It's okay, I'll just make him change his mind. I don't think his as bad as he think he is" she smiled friendly to Dib "Now, let's go to class" Dib decided to nod althought he was still worried and the two entered to the classroom.
Once in there, everyone gave Ms. Bitters the stupid project. Zim actually had one and gave it to her.
"Umm, I feel kinda bad for not helping ya on the project, Zee-Zee" Todd said to Zim.
"Consider it like a payback for helping Zim when that stupid Dib-stink was bothering. And stop using that foolish name in me" Todd grined.
"Ow, thanks dude. But I don't promess anything about the nickname" Zim just rolled his eyes.
At lunch, Zim realized that Todd sat with Dib and Gaz. She talked cheerfully with Dib about some paranormal stuff. It was a little creepy, but she and Gaz seemed to get along fine, at least, Gaz didn't tried to kill or hurt Todd when she talked to her.
The alien couldn't help feeling a little betrayed by his new assistan. She was just sitting with his worst enemy like it was the normaliest in the world. It doesn't matter, he thought. She is just a stupid little worm-monkey. Later I'll just order her to stop befriend with the Dib.
When Skool finished, it was raining. A LOT, you know, when the drops are very fat. Zim looked angrily to the rain, he hadn't brought his umbrella.
"Hi, Zee-Zee! What's up?"
"Shut up, Todd-monkey"
"Wow, why so grumpy?" Zim just glared angrily at her and then to the rain. She looked to the rain too and then gave Zim her black umbrella "Here. Do ya wanna use mine?"
"Why would you do that?"
"Dibbie told me water burns ya. But I like rain, so you can take it and bring it to me tomorrow" he took the umbrella and stared seriously at her.
"I need you to do something"
"What is it?"
"I need you to go buy something for me. I hate those places where humans buy stuff..."
"Supermarkets?"
"Yes. Those filthy supermarkets!"
"What if we go together? It'll be fun!"
"I just told you I hate supermarkets!"
"Just come! I'll buy the stuff!"
"No"
"Pretty pretty please?" she put her hands togheter and grined hugely.
"Grrr...Fffine! But don't you dare to make those big sad eyes of yours!"
"Okay" Zim opened the umbrella and the two went out of skool. Zim under the umbrella and Todd by his side but letting the water fall on her.
"Zim had seen you with the umbrella when it is not raining. Why is that? Tell me!"
"No need to yell at my ear" she said while rubbing her ear "It's 'cause the sun burns my skin easily. It's part of being an albino" Zim looked at her carefully.
"So I guess you don't use it enough. You have your arm burned"
"Oh, yeah. I... Uhh... Didn't use it last week" she looked away nervously.
A few moments later, they arrived at the supermarket. It was noisy and there was something stiky and brown in the floor.
"Well... Where I lived before, supermarkets were a lil' more clean" Todd said. A guy with over height, in his fifthies and all covered in sweat aproached to them.
"Hi, little ones. Do you want some candys?" he extended his hands, with some little colorful candys soaked in sweat and put them too near to Zim's face.
"Gaah! Getthatawayfrommyface!" Zim yelled and pushed the sweaty man away from him. Todd... Had a little different reaction.
"Ooh! Candys!" she tryied to take one of the man's gross candys, but Zim grabbed her wirst and didn't let her do it.
"You better don't eat that. I need an ALIVE assistan, you know?"
"But-!"
"Just let's go" Zim walked away with Todd by his side. They kept walking a little more when Zim realized that he was still holding the girl. He let go of her quickly.
"Stop holding Zim!" he yelled at Todd angrily.
"What? But ya were holdin' me!" she pointed to his face.
"LIES! YOU LIE!" he yelled a little too loud. Then, he started walking away furiously. Todd just sighed annoyed and walked to Zim.
"Hey, Zee-Zee!" she called. He turned his head and looked at her, still angry, but didn't stop walking.
"What now-?!" he shouted, but was interrumped by a gigant butt, one gigant butt which he crashed into.
"There's a man in front of ya" Todd anwsered, late, but anwsered. The man who Zim crashed with turned around and looked at him furiously.
"You brat! Why don't you see where you walk?!"
"You dare to call Zim a brat?! The one who should see where he walks is you! Human filth!" Zim yelled back.
"OH, YOU LITTLE $!×€$*"!×$€*"!×€$*"!×/&!"*$!¥*!"
...
"What?"
"I'll teach you to show some respect, #*×!$€×!" he made his knuckles sound rock-like.
"What do that words mean? Todd?" Zim asked, confused. But instead of anwsering him, Todd taked him by his shirt and started running fastly.
"Run!"
"I can't, you idiot! You're dragging me!" Zim shouted at her. Todd let him go, he was all covered in that stiky who knows what "This is bad, so much bad..." he mumbled.
"You know what would make you feel better? A candy!" no, Todd didn't said that. It was the sweaty man from before.
"Stop following us!" Zim said to him and ran away, Todd following.
"There!" Todd shouted, pointing to a table with a skinny, skinny man doing some stuff with the vegetables. They jumped to the table and hided under it. The mad man, looking for them walker near the table but didn't find them. When they were sure that he was far away, they got out from under the table.
"Very well. Now let's do the shopping" Zim said.
"Oki! Where do we go first?"
"I need some animal blood"
"Where on a supermarket do ya find animal blood?"
"There! In that... Thing where humans buy meat"
"Oh yeah. Those places... I don't remember how they were called"
"Anyway, let's do it" they aproached to the... Place, and stared to the girl who was chewing gum with her gaze lost. Zim coffed a little for the girl to noticed them. She then glanced to them.
"Do ya need something?" she asked. When she talked, the wet gum could be easily seen. Both, Zim and Todd made a face of disgust.
"Give me blood. Give me BLOOD!" Zim yelled. The chick made a half-bored-half-confused face.
"He means animal blood" Todd aclared. The girl decided not to care about the kids and just squeezed the meat with some little machine until the glass under it was full of blood. Without putting it some kind of towel or anything, she gave Zim the glass with blood.
"Bye! Thanks!" Todd waved good bye while she went away with Zim "What now?"
"What about some candys?"
"STOP DOING THAT, YOU DURTY SCARY MAN!" Zim yelled to the man who kept on following them. When they were far enough of the now scary man, Zim talked again "Now I need... Burritos?"
"Yay! They're around there!" Todd said happily.
"I didn't write this. How-? GIR!" Zim said, then he noticed that the girl wasn't there anymore "Arrgg! Todd-human! Where are you?!" he yelled to the air. He was getting grumpier.
"Here!" Todd appeared from nowhere "I couldn't find the burritos" she said a little sad.
"Don't search for them. It's just some stupidness Gir did"
"Oww..." now Todd was more sad. But her bad mood changed suddenly into a cheerful one when she saw some big number-aged woman with a wheelchair "Look! Look! That seems so fun! Can we get one of those? Yes? Please? Please? Pleeeeeeeeeaaaase?"
"Stop it. I am not going to get you one of those chairs. Ask your parents for that"
"Oh, please! My dad isn't gonna buy me one"
"And neither will I"
"Pleeeeeease!"
"No. And don't even think of doing the sad eyes. I won't look at you"
"Don't be such a meaner! Please? Please? Please? Please? Ple-please? Pretty please? Pretty pretty super beautiful please with a nice red cherry at the top?"
"Shut your noise already!"
"C'mon! If ya get me one I'll shut up" Zim suddenly stoped walking. He turnet to see Todd to the eye.
"Do you promess?"
"What? Oh, yeah"
"Say it"
"Hey-"
"SAY YOU PROMESS!"
"Okay, okay. I promess to shut up if ya get me one" Zim smirked satisfied.
"Very well. Uh, go and... Play. I'll get the chair"
"Okay!" Todd smiled and went away running. Zim shook his head, tired.
"Just a little more and she'll be quiet" then, his robotic legs appeared from his PAK and hiding in the roof, he slowly went where the old lady with the wheelchair was.
"Here" Zim said and rolled a wheelchair to Todd, who had some colorful foam in her hair and face. But Zim decied not to ask.
"Wow! Thanks, thanks tha-!"
"SILENCE! You said you would shut up" she put a hand on her mouth and nodded. Then she sat on the chair and started rolling with a huge grin on her face "No that way! Around there! Let's go around there!" Zim said as he pushed the chair and Todd to the opposite way she was going.
You want to know why, don't ya? It doesn't matter if you don't, I'll tell you anyway. It was because around the way Todd was going to go first, there was an old lady on the floor, breathing heavily and yelling for help as loud as she could. Yep, Zim just know Todd for a few days; but he already know that if she realized that he bumped an old woman for giving her the chair, he would never hear the end of it.
"MUMMY!" a child's scream was heard. Todd turnet to the scream's direction while Zim just kept walking.
"Ow, look Zee-Zee. She's cryin' " Todd said with concern in her voice "Should we help her?" Zim turned his head to her.
"You said you would be silent"
"Right. Sorry" she was about to move when another scream sounded.
"BUY ME THAT CHOCOLATE! I WANT THAT CHOCOLATE! I NEED IIIIIIIIIIIT!" Zim stopped walking. In his PAK he had many weapons, actually, he could take one, point to the child and... No! Better not! That would blow up my cover and put the mission in danger, he thought. He shook his head and kept walking. This supermarket was a hell.
So many annoying things had happened and they just have a stupid glass with animal blood and a wheelchair. Suddenly, the angry man who crashed with Zim before appeared. His face was red and some of the veins in his neck were seriously noted. By his side, was the old lady in a BIG police man's arms, they were angry too.
"Official, that is the green kid who bumped me!" she yelled "And the other kid has my wheelchair!"
"You durty brats made my boss fired me!" the chick of the meat place, still chewing gum, appeared.
"WE?! What did we do?!" Zim yelled.
"I... Don't know! But it must be your fault!" she yelled back as she taked a gun from her pocket.
"Wha-?!"
"MUMMY! MUMMY! LOOK! THAT KID HAS A CHAIR WITH WHEELS! I WANT IT! GET IT FOR ME! I NEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIT!"
"Uh-oh" Todd said. They had practically all the supermarket agains them, ready for attack.
"Psss... Wanna some candys?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Zim and Todd screamed as they runned out of the supermarket, not caring about the shopping or the blood anymore. While they runned for their lives, Todd crashed into some teen's stuff and suddenly she was rolling in a skateboard with Zim behind her (I mean, they both in the skateboard, get it?).
"Look! Look! I can skateboard! I can skate-!" her cheer was interrumped by a bump; they both falled on the floor and rolled on it. Luckily, they stopped rolling when they crashed with Zim's house's door. They got inside of the house and closed the door with a hit.
"Okay. Maybe that wasn't as funny as I expected it to be"
End of chapter three!
Finally! Sorry if you wanted some more... I don't know, romance? Action? Something that don't seem completly random? But I really wanted to do it so... I did it.
I don't really know how much time passed since the last chapter, sorry if it was too long.
Arrgh! But school is so freaking difficult! I'll try to do the next sooner, but I don't promess anything since my teachers are getting crazier and crazier.
Well, then BYE!
