I don't own Invader Zim okay? Day 3 of the Challenge is called "Gaming/watching a movie" so as you will see, this will involve gaming. I did rip off a zombie game and make the characters like a zombie show. See if you can guess it. I would also encourage any other authors to try this with their OTP, it is real fun! Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
Dib sighed as he looked outside. Tak was over after she had arranged to go out and try and foil Zim again but as soon as Tak had arrived , a storm came and started rain heavily. Most of this mission was going to be spying and activities outside, which with Tak being an Irken, could not be done.
"So what do we do now?" Tak sighed.
Dib picked up the remote and flipped through the channels. It was all the same for a Saturday afternoon, bad movies and sports, things that neither of them would ever want to watch in a million years. Tak moaned as Dib looked around. They needed to do something to pass the time while they waited for the storm to end, and then Tak saw the video game system plugged into the TV. "What's that?" Tak asked pointing to the Extreme Playcube X.
"Oh our console to play games. Dad got it to have Gaz socialize with the family more, but she is into her Gameslave 2." Dib said.
"Want to play that? I have always been interested in human games." Tak smiled.
"Okay." Dib said. "What do you want to play?"
"What do you got?" Tak said jumping off the couch looking at the collection of games.
"Ummmm... SimSandwich, Bloaty's Diner, Bedazzle Game," Dib began to read but Tak pushed him out of the way and pulled out a game called "Abandoned 2 Die."
"This, we are playing this." She said as she pushed the power button and put the disk in the system. Dib gulped as this was a first person shooter and he was no good at those ones. He didn't know how well Tak would do, but he was sure when she was being trained in the Academy that she would have done something similar. The loading screen popped up and Dib picked up the controller and got ready to play. He could do okay in games where you could see what your character was doing but first person he could not work the controls very well. Oh well, it was what Tak wanted to do, so he agreed.
"So, what you have to do is make it to the safe house while killing zombies and watching out for special infected." Dib explained.
"I can see that." Tak snapped. God, what would happen if she and Gaz got into it... Dib thought.
"Now we pick our character, a southern sheriff, a biker redneck, a Korean guy and a girl running around with a sword." Dib said as he picked the sheriff and Tak picked the girl with the sword. Dib rolled his eyes knowing that she would go for a girl like that to be her character and the level began. Dib started to try and work the sheriff's gun but could never quite get it up to aim at the zombies, so all he could go was run and and hide on the higher levels.
"Get down Dib!" Tak said as a pile of virtual zombies lay around her characters. "We are nowhere near the safe house! Come on!"
"Fine." Dib said as he tried to walk down the ladder and head to Tak but when he did, due to his lack of skill with the first person shooter type game, he instead walked right off the edge, and took a great hit to his health, breaking his character's leg in front of Tak's.
"You suck at this game." Tak laughed.
"I can handle this stuff better in real life." Dib said. He had been through enough with all the adventures he had trying to stop with Zim that he probablly could handle himself better in real life rather than in a video game. "But I do want to see you play against Gaz one day. She is as good as you are if not better."
"We'll see." Tak said with an evil smirk. "Would we get into a fight over who can play as the sword girl?"
"No, she always plays as the redneck. She'll kill me for saying this but she likes him and I think that is the same guy as in her 'Hinterland Angels' game" Dib laughed.
"Well, one of these days, I will challenge her. And win." Tak smiled.
"I am sure that will be a clash of the gaming titans." Dib said as he kissed Tak on the cheek and the sun came out. "Want to try and foil Zim again?"
"Yes. Real life is better than games." Tak said as she tossed the controller aside and headed out the door.
