Stave Three: The Ghost of Christmas Present
"Hello… My name is Tenn. I am the ghost of Christmas Present."
Tenn was sitting on a chair made of chips. Don't worry, I didn't get it either.
I stared for a moment, then slowly shook my head.
"Come on." Tenn mumbled, standing up.
I followed, staring blankly at my fellow Invader as she hummed along.
"O… Kay…"
Tenn led me outside, where she began to loudly sing Christmas carols. Her singing voice was all… High and screechy. I rubbed my antennae with a grimace.
After numerous minutes of this, she grabbed my hand, and we shot upward.
Stars past by quickly, until we both found ourselves next to Skooge's ship. He was humming happily to himself, pressing buttons giddily in the front of his Voot.
"Eh… I hope Zim has a nice Christmas." He mumbled, fumbling with something in silence before his SIR unit came up. One eye was really, really huge and the other was tiny.
"So, yeah. The SIR is gonna a'splode if you don't get some spirit."
"Whaaaat?"
"I said it's gonna explode."
"Um… Okay?"
Mildly, I felt a sense of sadness. "Ah well."
Then the scene switched to both the Tallest. They were busying themselves with doughnuts, relaxing and having fun. I only made a face when they kissed each other.
"Ooo… RAPR." Tenn said, clasping her hands together and putting them up over her shoulder.
"AH! I'M BLIND!" I screamed, falling backward and tossing my hands to my face.
Tenn suddenly looked shorter. "Ah, that sucks." She mumbled. "Gotta go. The next ghost is coming. Tenn looked silently over at me. "Okay, so, there are these two causes of terrible… Ness in the world… Erm… Universe. These things are called ZADR, GATR, and RAPR. That's three, but screw it."
"… What are those?"
Tenn waved her hand in silence, then, with a flourish, a single picture of myself came up. As more of the picture faded into sight, I saw I was kissing a particular large-headed, scythe-haired boy.
"AH! NOOOOOOOOO!"
Tenn shook her head sadly. "Fangirls can get so carried away some times… Tsk, tsk."
Then she flourished once again. The picture faded into Gaz and Tak. Guess what? THEY WERE KISSING, TOO!
This time, I just stared. "Wow. Just… Wow. That… That… That's just sad." I mumbled. "… Just… Wow."
Tenn snorted. "It's called fan girling. It's gross. And creepy."
I nodded, one of my eyes twitching.
"Onto the next one! RAPR!"
An image of my Tallest holding each other flooded before my eyes. I was completely blinded. "NOOOOOOO! GET IT AWAY! GET IT AWAY RIGHT NOW! IT BURNS ZIM!" I screamed, my voice going high-pitched and squeaky.
"That's called RAPR. Disturbing, en't it?" Tenn asked, I just stared.
I seriously would never see my Tallest the same way again.
"… Okay, I'm leaving now."
Then she disappeared.
