Chapter 6: Reunited

A/N: Long one this time, tell me what you guys think! and thank you so so much for all the reviews Ive got so far! :))

The next day, Purple headed into skool feeling awkward about meeting Zim again. He skated into the classroom right past Zim who avodied his gaze. He sped up to the back and took his seat next to Gaz. Up at the front,

Large head Dib was glaring at Zim and whispering things that purple couldnt hear an account of being so far at the back. Mrs Bitters was saying doom" again as usul and the class were all entirely board.

He couldnt wait for the bell to ring. The bell rang and they all headed out for break.

purple was planning on finally talking with Zim about the preivous day, but zim was no where to be found! He scoped around a little before coming face to face with the big headed Dib.

"Hey, I don't think we've spoken yet" the boy with the gargrantan head said.

Purple shook his own head and agree: "Yeah well , we havent really needed to?"

"Well you may know this already, but zim is an alien" he said cooldly. Man, he had a big head.

Purple pretened to be shockes so he clasped his hand to his mouth. Then he realised that humans didn't believe in aliens and un clasped his hand.

"I don't believe you," he said, sketicly. "I think he's normal. And I don't know why your yelling me."

"Just in case of warning. Your his best friend so I think you should know the truth. That is. If you don't know the truth now." Big head.

"Whatever" purple dismised and skated away to look for zim. Best friend? he though. That made him happy. He didn't have many friends before now. Before Zim, it was only really Red. His squeedlyspooch stared to flutter.

He finally found Zim coming out of the bathroom in the playground. "Sorry I ran off" he said as he swung the door open. "I had to wash out the FILTHY gum that the DIB creature put in my hair."

"Actuly I think that was Gaz" said Purple. Zim just glared at him. Purple looked around for something to do and caught side of something across the playground.

"Hey," he asked. "Wanna shoot some hoops?" Zim grinned back in answer.

Purple got his ball. He could feel everyone watching him. Smirking, he'd thought he'd show all those eyes what was up. And then he WAS up, shooting his ball perrfectly into the basket from half court. Giving Zim a thumbs up

and Zim looked worried.

Zim finally got his game on and turned around so his back was facin g the basket. Purple booed but Zim tossed the ball into the air and it spun into the basket, scoring a goal.

The whole skool cheered, even dib looked shocked and Mrs bitters gave a standing ovation.

Purple shook his head, snorting as he grabbed two basketballs an bouncing them off the ground as he jumped up into the air, flipping a couple of times before landing his balls. skating on the ground, the whole skool went wilde and picked purple up above their heads, shotting "YEAH"!"

Zim looked sad, but threw a basketball at Purples head, laughing as that made him feel better.

Purple laughed as well as the ball smashed his head. The crowd put him down and he walked (skated) over to Zim who slapped him on the back hartily.

"Good game," he said as the bell rang for them all to go back into class. "Hey," Zim asked. "I don't normally say this to EARTHAN- I mean, people but..."

"... do you want to come back to my bas- house today after skool?"

Purple blushed and said sure.

The rest of the day dragged on when all he wnated it to do was end so he could go to Zims house. Finally the bell rang and he rushed home to pick up HIR, after disgising her of course.

He dressed her up in a bunny costume and tied a leash round her neck. He then headed over to zims place with HIR in toe.

When he got to the door he buzed the bell and the door opened. Two robots came out to answer but Zim appeared and shoed them away.

"Hey sorry about my parents," he said. usering Purple into the rooms. The house was very like purples own one and had quite simpilar furnisher. He supposed it was because they were both irken. Zim also had a dog called Gir or something.

"so," Purple began. "Dib really seems to have it on for you."

"Yes," zim stated ringing his hands. "He has been a pain in my squee- my side ever since I moved to this pla- part of town."

Unbenowst to them, that very same big head boy was starring at them through the window.

The pear of them continued talking for a few minutes until the doorbelt rang. "Heh?" Zim explaimed.

He walked to the door and pressed a button on it, making an invisible hole appear which he looked out of. On the other side it was ….

"The Dib thing!" Zim said. "Why is his head so big," purple yelled in confusion.

"GIR!" zim commanded, "I order you to distract the meat animal so that me and Purple can enjoy our time together in peace!"

The dog nodded. This was strange. It went to the door and walked out it. Purple listened from the other side.

"Well hi there!" it yelled at the large headed man. "Master said …." he stopped talking and looked down at his hands. Suddenly he walked around the back of the house giggling maniacly. Dib looked bemuzed for a momint and then followed.

"Thank gosh!" said zim and turned away from the door. Suddenly Purple gasped. He realesed that one of zims "fake" contact lenses had come out and stuck to the door.

"What?" he said at the expresion on Purples face. Suddenly he noticed the missing contact lenses. He gasped with shock and covered his eye with his hands, knocking off his wig as he did so.

"no" he screamed, "Don't look at me!"

"Why not?" purple asked looking at the others long antennas and deep pink eyes. "You're beatiful" he said pulling Zim closer to him.

A/N: hot damn!
