Irken Queen

Chapter 4: Broken Window, Broken Arms, Broken Will

three days after Olivia's arrival at the base

Dib

"It's about time! My brilliant plan to save that poor kid is finally going underway! Now, first, I just have to break through the window and then I'll-Gaz! Are you listening to me explain all this?"

Olivia

Where IS that guy?! Boy, this place is TOO big!

"Zim!" No reply. Alright, this guy likes me- time to bust out the big guns. Good thing i took acting.

"Zimmy-poo, where ARE you! Zimmy!" my best cute voice-he COULDN'T resist that, i just KNOW it!!! Sure enough, there he is.

"what is it, Love Muffin?" I throw my arms around him sweetly as possible and bury my head into his chest.

"I couldn't find you, Zimmy-poo...This place is so big... i was scared...i got lost..." He holds me reassuringly. It's strange, but oddly comforting. That dumb movie The Sparkling had me spooked again, and i neded SOMEONE to hold me! That alien WAS in love with me after all, so I ran to him. So sue me. he's not THAT bad!

Zim

Good Irk, this drill is loud! I can't hear anything. Maybe i should turn it off-my antenna are starting to buzz. As i turn off the power-drill, i catch the end of a senteence. Olivia?

"Zimmy-poo, where ARE you?! Zimmy!" i let out a dreamy sigh- she called me Zimmy-poo... snap out of it, Zim! your Queen NEEDS you!!! I rush the elevator to the 3rd floor and run to my dear, sweet Olivia.

"What is it, Love Muffin?" My little princess wraps her arms around me like i always dreamed she would and buried her head into my chest so very innocently.

"I couldn't find you, Zimmy-poo... this place is so big...i was scared... i got lost..." I wrap my arms comfortingly around her. my lover is afraid-I must protect her. Suddenly, glass shatters in the upper level. I run up to investigate.

Dib

I'm on the ceiling where Zim can't see me. he runs in to check on the noise, then back out to check everywhere else. After he leaves, the little girl comes up. i drop down silently behind her and put my hand over her mouth.

Olivia

Oh, God, I'm gonna die...a black-gloved hand is covering my mouth... someone whispers:

"Don't worry little girl. i am here to save you. I'm gonna get you outta here!" he turns me round and grabs my arms. i try to pull away, struggling as he tries to pull me outside. we struggle for a moment longer before hearing two identically sickening cracks and a sharp pain travels up my arms through my body. stopping dead, both in shock, our faces fall out of unison when my arms slip from his hands and i let out a shriek. he runs to get away before Zim comes as i fall to the ground, my arms limp and broken at my sides. I shrink away from his retreating form, terrified, and he dissapears just before Zim comes. I just sit there staring at him with a look of helplessness and tears in my eyes. he runs to me, holdng me close.

"Z-Z-Zim? M-my arms..." My voice trembles as i sob into his shoulder. He picks me up and carries me to the lab, where he sets me down gently on the observation table, pulling out some ointmen and two strang-looking casts. he rubs the goo on my arms, covering them with the casts.

"There. They should heal in a week, if not less." they begin to tingle, and the pain fades. I smile weakly up at him with an odd feeling showing in my sapphire eyes-I think I'm really starting to fall in love with him...

*gasp* Olivia's falling for Zim! Dib broke Olivia's arms! I'm planning something with used tissue! what could these things mean? find out on the next chappie of... IRKEN QUEEN!
