DISCLAIMER OF DOOM: Seriously, do I look like I own I.Z.? (I'm sick of writing it over and over again.) I do own Sypha and Mary Annette.
Which reminds me, I'm gonna be posting Mary Annette's description soon. Speaking of Mary Annette, there's a secret behind her name. Try to guess what it is. I'll give you a hint, she moves like something that has a name that sounds very similar to hers.
If you haven't figured it out already, it's a marionette. Not only does she move like one, but she looks like one, too. I don't know why I pictured her like that. If you wanna see something that looks almost exactly like her, go to you ready for cha.6? TOO BAD, IT'S STARTING!!!!

Zim had a weird dream that night. It was that he had conquered all of Earth. (only in his dreams) He was seated on a throne, but someone else was with him. It was Sypha. She was…..on his lap.
"Oh, Zim-Zim, look at this glorious empire you have created." she proclaimed.
"I couldn't have done without your help." He declared.
They started leaning closer into a kiss...
Zim immediately awoke from his horrible nightmare. Or was it a good dream? He really couldn't tell. Suddenly, his stomach growled. "I'll make myself a quick midnight snack and try to fall back asleep." He climbed out of bed and slowly made his way to the kitchen. "That's odd; I've never needed to do something like this before." He opened the fridge and looked around at what was inside. Two things that caught his attention were the slice of seedless watermelon and the bottle of chocolate syrup Gir bought for his sundaes. He grabbed both of them in each hand and finally placed the watermelon on the table. Then, took the bottle and squirted some syrup on top of it. When he took a bite it tasted……great. So good, in fact, that he wasn't able to wonder what was wrong with him.
One that was taken care of, he walked back to his room. He stopped when he saw Sypha lying down on the floor. "Wow, she looks...so pretty." He abruptly responded by slapping himself. "She must be poisoning my thoughts and dreams. I-l"
He stopped when she said something in her sleep. "Zim, wait! Don't go!" she was having a nightmare.
Zim and Sypha were at the top of a hill. It was a beautiful night and the moon was full. They were leaning closer and closer to each other. Suddenly, Sypha screamed as she turned into a horrible, hideous monster. Zim started to run away from her.
That's when Sypha woke up. She put her hand over her eyes, but then she saw Zim standing over her, watching her.
"Are you gonna be okay?" he asked in o.o.c. kind of tone.
"Y-yeah. I'll be fine." She answered.
Zim sighed. "Look, do you want to…….sleep in my bed with me tonight?" he inquired.
Sypha was instantly on his bed. He joined her. "I don't want you to ever speak of this." He warned.
"My lipsssssss are ssssealed." She replied.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, Zim woke up to find Sypha wrapped around him. When he tried to get up, she hugged onto him tighter, trying to keep him close. Then, she whispered something that surprised him and at the same time didn't surprise him. "Ziiim……don't go…….I sssstill need you………." It seemed he wouldn't be going anywhere. So, he just remained still, hoping Sypha would wake up soon. Eventually, she did. She slowly opened her pink eyes. Apparently, Zim had fallen back asleep.
Suddenly, (I've been using that word a lot.) she scooted closer and closer to him, until their lips were pressing. She closed her eyes. Zim's, however, were open. At first, he was going to snap at her, but something in his squeadily spooch was telling him to let her continue. Not only that, but part of him also wanted her to continue. When he saw she was about to open her eyes again, he immediately closed his. He didn't want her to know he'd been watching the whole time. He then pretended to wake up.
Sypha's eyes were staring back lovingly. "Good mooooorniiiiing." She sweetly said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Throughout the skool day, Sypha had noticed black clouds gathering in the sky. "Hmmm…I wonder what's going on." She thought. When skool was over, Sypha strolled down the skool entrance way. Without warning, something landed on her head which caused it to burn. "OW!" she yelped. She put her hand out in front of her. Another burning drop fell onto it. "Oh no, it'ssssss…..RAIN!" Sypha had only heard stories about this. Millions of water drops falling from the sky. If you didn't find cover in time, you would be bombarded with so much agonizing pain beyond what you could imagine.
Zim started walking out the doors. Sypha tried to stop him. "Zimmy, wait! I-
It was already too late. One drop dived onto him. Then, two. Then three, ten, and 100. Soon, it was pouring on top of him. Sypha could only watch in horror as Zim screamed in pain and smoke rose from his body. When she saw him collapse, though, she rushed to his side and put her cape over him. She was being drenched in the acid like water, but she didn't care. She shook him vigorously, but he still wouldn't wake up. Sypha knew it wasn't safe out here. The bus was already long gone. She knew it was up to her to get him up safely.
Still keeping her cape over him, she picked him up and started running home for her life, literally. Her skin was being fried, smoke was coming from her as if she was a barbeque, but none of that mattered to her. All that mattered was that Zim would be okay.
Finally, she made it home. She pushed away the robot parents. Sypha had about have the burn damage Zim would have if she were to read any of the ZATR fanfics and think they were true stories. She gently placed Zim on the floor and then collapsed. Mary Annette walked over. "What's wrong, mastress? (She confuses it with mistress.) Did you visit Hell? Was it cool?" she looked at Zim. "What up with Mister?"
Sypha looked up at her insane robot. "Rain….happened." She crawled over to Zim. He still hadn't woken up yet. This was beginning to make her worry. He shouldn't regained consciousness by now. What if he was……dead? She started shaking him.
"ZIM! Wake up! PLEASSSSSSSE, wake up!" she cried as tears streamed out of her dark purple eyes and down her face. No luck. Sypha then remembered the story she read to Mary Annette and Gir last night. It was Sleeping Beauty. She remembered how true love's kiss could only wake up the princess.
She leaned closer until their lips were locked. Sadly, though, that is just a story, and Zim never woke up.
HA! FOOLISH HU-MAN! Did you REALLY think I would kill the almighty ZIM!!!!! YOU ARE PA-THETIC!!!!! He shall NEVER DIE……an untimely death.
As soon as their lips touched, Zim's eyes snapped open. "SYPHA! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!!!!!" he yelled.
Her eyes turned to a bright yellow. She threw her arms around him. "OH THANK GODNESSSSSSS! I THOUGHT I LOSSST YOU!!!!!!"
Zim pushed her off. "I'm fine, okay! Now let m-hey! How'd we get back home?"
Mary Annette leaned on Sypha. "Hmm….I wonder." She sarcastically replied.
Zim was surprised. "You….carried me here."
"Heh-heh…yeah." Sypha responded.
"But…..why? You could've been burned to death. What could possibly convince you to do something so dangerous?"
Sypha blushed as her eyes turned pink. "Ssssssomething you wouldn't recognize, it'ssssss called love."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mary Annette treated both of their wounds.
A little later, Sypha was getting ready to leave. "Where are you going, Sypha?" Zim interrupted. "We've got some DOOM to spread!"
"I'm going to the mall!"
"Why would you wanna go somewhere that's so crowded with those….FILTHY humans!?"
"Well, I heard that there'ssssssss a sssssale at sssssome ssssssstupid sssssstore."
"And your point is?"
"One of the girlssssss ssssssssaid that anyone girl who doessssssssn't go isssssn't human. I wouldn't wanna raissssssse ssssssussssssspicion."
Zim thought about that for a moment, and announced "That's a good idea, Sypha! Some of my smartness must've rubbed off on you. Keep it up!"
Sypha blushed. "He complimented me!" she thought. She started out the door, but realized something had caught onto her dress. She turned to see it was Mary Annette. "I wanna come with you! This mall place sounds neat-o!" she said.
"Mary Annette, you can't go in public looking like that! I'm sssssssssorry, but no." Sypha replied.
Mary Annette stared at her with the SADDEST EYES!!! "Pweeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssssse!!!!!!!!" she begged.
Sypha had always been a sucker for this kinda thing. "Well, okay. But you have to wear a disguise!"
"YIPPEE!!!!!"
"Mary Annette! Tabye mode!" she commanded
Her eyes went black and her chest opened to the buttons. Sypha pressed a few of them. "Yesssss, hello? I need a dissssssssguissssssse …….of a human girl. Okay, thank you."
As soon as she hung up, the doorbell rang. Again, there was a delivery man with a big package.
Sypha placed it on the ground and opened it. She pulled out some sort of cloth. "Okay, Mary Annette, put thisssssss on."
She grabbed it and covered herself with it. There was a flash of light, then Mary Annette stood there looking like a blonde-haired girl with a red dress. When she opened her mouth, she sounded different. "Come, master. We should go now."
Sypha gave her a puzzled look. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked
"I feel fine." She plainly answered
Sypha picked up the box and looked at it for a minute. "Oh," she exclaimed "here'ssssssssss the problem! Thisssssss issssssss made with a sssssssmart potion!"
She looked at the clock. "Oh my! We should go now before the mall clossssssssesssssss!"
They ran outside.
Zim sighed "Whoo! I thought they would never leave! Now I can have some peace and quiet."
Gir screamed "I CAN BE AS QUIET AS A MOOSE!!!!!"
"Well, at least some quiet."
-------------------------------------------------
Sypha and mary Annette were outside the mall. Sypha noticed some pretty flowers in a little garden. "Ooooohhhh, look! Daissssesssssssss!"
Mary Annette looked at them. "I like daises. I plant them, but they always die. Everything I plant in my garden withers and dies."
They had been walking around the mall for awhile. Sypha suddenly stopped in front of a store called "Victoria's Secret". "WHOAH!!!! Thissssss sssssstore lookssssssss awessssssome!!!!" she dashed inside.
A saleslady stood near her. "Welcome to Victoria's Secret! Today were having a special. If you buy one or more tanktops, you get a free tube of lipstick!"
"OOOOOH! Sssoundssssssss good. Where do you keep thesssssse tanktopsssssss?"
"Right over there!" she pointed to a HUGE pile of tanktops.
Sypha walked over to them. They were very cute and had the sexiest phrases on them.
"If I can't find sssssssomething here that will turn Zim on," she thought "I dunno where I will!" she picked the perfect one. It was the same color as Zim's invader uniform and had the word "Delicious" written across it. Now, she had to choose which lipstick she would take.
It had to be the ABSOLUTE BEST one, though. It had to have the perfect color, texture, scent, and name. Finally, she found it. It was blood-red and smelled like cherry. But what really stood out was its name. It was called "Slow Burn". Perfect.
She left the store. Suddenly, she heard two people talking. "I hear tonight there's supposed to be a blue moon!" one of them said. Sypha's eyes went huge with panic. She looked at the clock. It was already 5:09 pm. She had to get home before dark.
After some mad dashing, they finally made it inside the house. She tiptoed across the living room. "If I don't make any noise, Zim might not notice me til morning."
Gir unexpectedly appeared. "HI MISS MASTER!!!!!!!" Of course, no one could NOT hear that. "Sypha.Down.Hear.NOW!" Zim called from downstairs. Crap.
She entered Zim's base. "Y-yessssss?" she nervously uttered.
"Now that you're back, you can help me with my plan….." he continued, but Sypha wasn't really paying attention. She looked at her watch. It was 6:00. The moon would appear any second. "I have to go NOW and-when did I start wearing a watch?" "Uh, listen, Zim. I'm kinda tired. I think I should go to sleep n-YAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" The moon was now out. Sypha was on the floor on her hands and knees. Zim watched in pure, terrifying terror as she turned into a monster. It had blue skin; hair that moved like tentacles, long, sharp claws, pointed ears, bat-like wings, and pitch-black eyes. Sypha immediately flew away. "He sssssssaw me! He ssssssaw me! He sssssssssaw me!"
She hid in his room. Although she wanted to get as far as possible away from him, she knew better than to leave the house. "It'sssssss all over now." Without warning, Sypha broke into tears and starting screaming like a banshee.
Zim was still in his same spot. He had no idea what to do. He wanted to just hide from her. But, he thought about what Sypha would do in this situation. No doubt she would've gone to comfort him. Mary Annette was now standing next to him, still in her disguise. "Go to her." Was all she said.
Zim ran after where the sobbing was coming from. Finally, it led him to his room. He slowly opened the door and saw Sypha on the floor in a fetal position. Her face was on the floor. "Sypha?" She looked up at Zim and howled even louder. "Sypha! I order you to tell me what this is!" She turned away. "Thisssssss issssssssss what I really look like. All Enfudikonsssssss do." She reluctantly explained. "Every night of a blue moon, we lose our ability to shape shift until morning." Then she added "I'm dissssssssgusting, aren't I? I'm ssssssickening, aren't I?" she started sobbing again.
Zim sat next to her. Then, he did something that almost shocked Sypha. He put his arm around her! "Sypha, I have been living on this planet for what seems like a nightmarish eternity. I have seen things a THOUSAND times worse than you."
Sypha turned back to him. "R-really?"
He nodded. Sypha gave him a big hug. Zim, incredibly, hugged back. Suddenly, the sun came out. Sypha slowly changed back into her human form. "Thank you." She whispered.

Well, that's the end of that chapter! I liked putting little clues in the other chapters. Secrets are fun. I might've tried too hard to make it dramatic, but I think it still turned out good. Remember, I still need fan mail. It's not too late to send me some! Next chapter, you'll find out what Sypha was doing at the end of chapter 5. THE ANSWER WILL SHOCK YOU!!!!!
