Well, here's chapter 3! I hope y'all like it :)

The silence Zim and Gaz had sat in for the past couple of minutes was interrupted by Marilyn Manson's 'The Beautiful People'. Zim hissed.

"What is that horrible noise?!" He yelled. Gaz ignored his outburst and pulled the blaring cell phone from her pocket. She flipped it open and brought it to her ear. Zim listened to her side of the conversation.

"Hello?"

"I'll be there soon, calm down."

"No he didn't probe me you pervert!"

"Nope."

"Uh huh."

"Okay."

"Well, hell. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Fine."

"If you do I'll bury you alive!"

"Love you too, idiot. Bye." She hung up with a sigh. Zim raised a nonexistent eyebrow. She looked as if she was thinking for a moment before she glanced at him.

"I'm staying the night at your house." She told him with a mischievous look in her eyes. He frowned at her. She had to be joking!

"What?! No! You can't come to Zims base!" He whined loudly. She came to a red light and looked at him after she stopped the car.

"I'm staying the night at your house. Dib's at a nerd convention. Something about Bigfoot I think. He has the only key to the house and he won't leave it outside cause he thinks aliens will steal it. I don't have anywhere else to stay. The idiot thinks I actually have friends whos houses I can stay the night at. But I don't. I have you. So I'm staying the night." She said simply, as if she knew there was nothing he could do about it.

"Absolutely not!" He shouted. She turned back to the road as the light turned green.

"I have no other choice. You think I wanna spend all day with you? I don't. But there's nothing else I can do. Its either I come with you or I sleep on the street." He opened his mouth to say something and she quickly cut him off.

"I am NOT sleeping sleeping on the street." She snapped. Zim growled in frustration. He really didn't want a human at his base. But he also preferred his limbs attached to his body, so he knew he had no other choice. Killing a famous professors daughter would definitely call too much attention to himself.

"Fine. But I swear to Irk if you put your filthy human hands on any of Zims things..." He grumbled.

"I won't touch anything." She said with her fingers crossed at her side.

When she finally made it to Zims house, she parked out front and they walked inside.

"Weeeee!" Gaz was startled when Gir jumped up and started sprinting around the living room.

"Scary lady is here! Scary lady is here!" He chanted gleefully. She put a slender hand to her mouth and tried to cover up her small laughter. Zim was going to tell Gir to be silent but hearing Gaz laugh and seeing her, well, not ready to destroy everyone around her, was too shocking. She quickly stopped giggling and frowned in annoyance.

"Quiet, Gir." Zim said. The small robot smiled up at his master.

"Okie Dokie!" He yelled. Gaz and Zim enjoyed the silence...for about 7 seconds. Gir immediately started squealing and running around again. Gaz rolled her eyes as Zim threw off his wig and contacts. Gaz raised an eyebrow.

"You already know I am not from Earth." He muttered with a shrug. His disguise was extremely uncomfortable so he always took it off when it wasn't needed.

"Whatever." She said as if she didn't care. But truth be told she thought he looked really cool without it. Everyone else she knew was either boring, crazy, or just plain stupid. Zim actually interested her. She walked around his house. It was weird, but a good weird. It wasn't like other houses. She decided she would like to live in a place like this one day. Except it would be darker and there would be no toilet in the kitchen.

"I'm hungry." She announced.

"You just ate pizza not even an hour ago." He groaned. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"So? I want something sweet. Like pancakes or-" she was cut off by Gir.

"WAFFLES!" He yelled excitedly and ran to her. She pointed at him with a grin.

"Yes." Zim chuckled.

"Foolish human." He said feeling especially superior. Invaders only had to eat every once in a long while. Gaz wasn't sure why, but she felt offended.

"Stop saying that. I might be a human, but I'm not a fool. So what if I like to eat?" She asked angrily. Zim raised a nonexistent eyebrow.

"Why are you always so angry?" He asked. That caught her off guard.

"Why are you always so stupid?" She countered.

"Why are you always so- GIR DON'T DO THAT!" The last thing Gaz saw before her head exploded with pain and she fell to the floor, unconscious, was Zims red Irken eyes filling with panic.

She woke up with a horrible throbbing in the left side of her head. She didn't remember where she was until she felt someone sit on the bed beside her. She recognized the sigh as Zims.

"Stupid human. Why didn't you dodge?" He chuckled. She pretended to be asleep. Zim had a bad habit of saying everything he was thinking and she was curious.

"This horrible species will never last if they can't even dodge a damn frying pan. It's a shame that you aren't an Irken. You're too smart for this species. And as much as it makes me want to blow myself up, I have to admit," she felt him brush a strand of purple hair off of her face and tuck it behind her ear with his gloved hand,

"You are rather attractive." She didn't know what to think of his confession. She knew it should make her want to gag, but it didn't. It actually made her happy to know that someone actually liked her. Someone didn't see her as just a nuisance. She felt her cheeks get warm and knew she was blushing.

"Yes, it is such a- ARE YOU AWAKE?!" she couldn't help but flinch at his outburst. She opened an eye.

"Of course not. Keep going." She said and closed her eye. Zim blushed heavily.

"Scary lady is awake!" Gir cheered happily as he ran into the room. She sighed and sat up.

"Well there goes my entertainment." She grumbled. Gir jumped on the bed and hugged her face, not knowing that it would hurt her further. She clenched her fists and closed her eyes tight in obvious pain. She knew yelling at the excited robot would make her head hurt even more.

"Gir...please..." She said through clenched teeth. Her hold body was tightened up.

"Get off of the Gaz-beast." Zim scolded. Gir released Gaz and left the room sadly.

"Hey, Gir! I sure am hungry. How about you cook me up something to eat? You know, without knocking me unconscious. It would make the scary lady really happy." She called to him. He poked his head through the doorway with an excited smile.

"Okie dokie!" He said happily and ran to make her something to eat. She sighed in relief. She hadn't really been hungry. In fact, the sound of food made her want to vomit. But seeing the robot sad actually made her feel bad.

"So, a frying pan, huh?" She asked Zim, who was now glaring at her.

"Yes. He threw it at your head. Apparently he "wanted help from the scary lady". I'm surprised you didn't try to dissemble him. Was that kindness I heard in your voice?" He teased. She narrowed her eyes.

"Don't even go there. I just didn't feel like hearing him whine. My head is already pounding." She brushed his accusation off. He grinned. He didn't believe a word of it. But then he remembered what she had heard him say and he frowned in annoyance.

"I knew you were awake the whole time, by the way. My brilliant Irken warrior mind knows these things. I was joking." He lied.

"Oh, sure. That's why your cheeks are such a dark red, right?" She grinned wickedly. He sputtered, trying to think of a comeback.

"Wha-be quiet!" He yelled, slamming his first on the bed. She chuckled and then winced at the pain. His eyes went from angry to concerned.

"You need rest, Gaz. Just lay down and stop being such an idiot." He said. She stuck her tounge out at him like a child.

"Just do it you stupid human." He grumbled, pulling the blanket onto her body.

She let him tuck her in and when he left the room after promising to check on her later, she smiled. He had called her by her actual name for once.
