Invader Zim~ Love is Not as Easy Chapter 4
"You, are an Irken Leaf? That's not even possible!" Dib laughed. "I am not joking Dib. Let me show you." I took my disguise off and revealed my Irken form." Dib gasped and stared at me. "Leaf, why are you here on Earth? Are you on Zim's side to taking over Earth?" Dib asked angrily and confused.
"No I am not here to take over the Earth. I am here because something told me to come here." I answered him.
"I am sorry I did not tell you this earlier Dib." I said. "It's alright Leaf, as long as you don't take over the Earth. You were very brave to tell me that weren't you?" I nodded. "Dib please don't harm me." "Why would I harm you?
You aren't any threat to me." "Thank you!" I cried and then I threw my arms around him and hugged him. Dib blushed a little and hugged me back.
Soja was watching us this whole time and she snickered. "Dib, can you not tell anyone that I am an Irken?" "Sure Leaf." Then I left to join Soja. Dib went home and I figured his house was right across from mine.
"Soja, why were you laughing at me like that?" I asked angrily. "Well it's only the first day of school and you now have a friend. Or should I say boyfriend?" She burst out laughing and I marched away from her.
Then I got a transmission from the Tallests. "Hello Leaf and Soja. Are you going to come back to Impending Doom 5?" "I'm sorry my Tallest but I can't, I must stay here to find out what sent me here." I sighed.
"Well, it's alright. We'll include you in Impending Doom 6 if you ever come back to Irk. How about you Soja, are you coming back to Irk?" "I'm sorry I can't either. I must stay with Leaf just to make sure she doesn't get hurt." "Alright, Impending Doom 5 is going to start tomorrow at sunrise." The Tallest ended the transmission.
Then I heard a knock on the door. Soja and I quickly put on our disguises and opened it.
Guess who was at the door, Dib. "Hey Leaf, do you want to go out to see if there is any ghosts in the town?" "Wow, sure!" I replied anxiously. "Soja do you want to come with us to look for ghosts?" "Nah I'm fine. I'll just stay here and keep watch of the house. You guys can do whatever you're gonna do." She smiled and when we left, the house I heard her laughing hard.
Once we started walking, it got colder. Dib put his arm around me and it felt much better. "Dib are you okay with me being an Irken?" "It doesn't matter Leaf. As long as I have you by my side I'm okay." I smiled.
We reached the abandoned place and I felt a little scared since we were going to be searching for ghosts. Dib knew I was a little scared so he told me not to worry.
He told me how to watch for ghosts and their movements. A little later, I found a haunted stick and gave it to him. "Leaf, you are really good at proving these haunted things are real!" "It's really easy though. Thanks for teaching me" I said happily.
After awhile we left the haunted place and then headed back home. "Leaf, I really like you even though you are an Irken. You've done no harm and you're my best friend." "I like you too Dib. You are really smart." I said hesitatingly.
When we got to my house Dib waved good bye and I went inside. "So how did it go with Dib?" "Yeah pretty good, I found a haunted stick."
I mumbled still thinking of Dib. Soja laughed. "A haunted stick, really? You actually believe in that stuff?" "Of course, I saw the stick put out flames of ghosts." "So what did Dib say?" "He said he liked me." "I knew it! I knew it all along!" Soja laughed so hard that she fell to the ground.
Soja stop it, that's being very mean to Dib! I shook my head in annoyance. "Oh, oh yeah that's a very good laugh thanks so much Leaf!" "Just shut it Soja! You don't know him as well as I do!" I argued with anger. Just then I heard the bell ring. I moaned and got up from the couch that I was sitting on. I wondered who that could be. I slowly opened the door and saw Zim. "Ah Leaf, I'm glad to see you here." "Zim, what are you doing here at my base?" I narrowed my eyes. "No time to explain come with me!" He took my hand and we rushed out the door to the Skool. Zim finally let go of my hand and he blurted out, "Look up to the skies Leaf." I followed his instructions and looked up and saw a spaceship. "What? You brought me here, just to see a SPACESHIP? I growled in anger.
Zim smirked and laughed evilly. "Not just any spaceship, the one that leads to your doom!" "Why Zim, why do you dare to do this to me? I'm an Irken Invader you shouldn't destroy your own race!" "Well Leaf, it's simple you don't help the Irken Military to conquer planets, you go to your doom!" I gasp in fear as the spaceship slowly abducted me. "Help, somebody help me! I'm being abducted!" I cried with fear. Suddenly, I saw a shadow, and that shadow lunged at Zim and tossed him up to be abducted also. As Zim went up, I saw a rope and hung onto it until I was safely on the ground. I stared up at the stranger who rescued me with dazed eyes and saw, that it was Dib!
I moaned and blinked my eyes again. "Dib is that really you?" "Yes it's me Leaf, I heard your cry and came to help you." He said softly. "Why did you come and save me?" I asked with dizziness. He leaned down and gave me a kiss. I slowly fell asleep and didn't wake up.
