Chapter 10: What's heaven like?
Zim's POV
We all sat in the living room for the first time in a long with Tak. I sat next to her on the couch, and we all had many questions.
"So, fill me up on what I've missed out on."
"Like what?" I asked her.
"You know, like Rek's child hood. I missed out on seeing him grow up."
"Well…" I began. "Nothing much happened until a few months after you 'left'."
I then proceeded to tell her the events of Rek's life, but that's a different story, that may or may not be written.
Soon later, another question arose, but not from Tak, but rather Gin.
"What's heaven like?"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Heaven, what's it like?"
"Hmmmm…I wouldn't
know."
"What?! You didn't go to heaven?!" I exclaimed.
"No, I went to purgatory. You know, like the place in between heaven and hell."
"Oh, what was that like?"
"Really boring, you just float around in a void waiting for the day you can get into heaven."
"I'm surprised that they didn't let you into heaven; and angle like you deserves nothing less." I said.
"Aw, how sweet of you Zim," said Dib, butting into the conversation.
"NO ONE ASKED YOU EARTH PIG!! AND WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?!" I asked.
"I have no means of transportation, I was going to use that spell to revive my ship, but I instead used it on Tak."
"Speaking of which, why did you do that?" asked Tak.
"Despite the fact that Zim is my arch-nemesis, and I despise him more than any other creature in the universe; I couldn't just sit there and watch him mope. It was really pathetic."
"ZIM PETHETIC!? YOU SPEAK LIES FILTHY EARTH PIG!!"
"Wait, how pathetic?" asked Tak.
"The moment I asked who Rek's mother was, he ran up to his room in anger and tears, and that was only 3 hours ago!"
Tak gave me a strange look, I knew that when Dib had brought her back, she brought hell with her.
"Zim, how long was I dead?"
"About 60 years…" she suddenly punched me square in the forehead.
"Gyahhh!"
"You mean you couldn't just get over it?! My gosh, Zim, can't you just learn to move on?! I mean 60 years!"
"Oh excuse me if I couldn't bare thinking I would never see you again! I lost you so many times before; I just could not stand to lose you again."
"Zim…I can understand where your coming from, but you can't dwell in the past, learn to think about your future."
"I can now that your back in it." She hit me again, but this was more of a love tap.
"Still so stubborn; just like how I left you."
She then gave me a scowl and a hug at the same time. I was a little confused but happy at the same time, I guess that this was her way of just saying I'm a fool, but in a good way. And she was right, she was always right.
I glanced over at Dib, who was taking notes in new note book. I opened my PAK to incinerate the note pad, which pissed him off quite immensely.
"Hey!"
"No taking note about affection."
Suddenly the door opened up. Lia and Midge walked in.
"Hey guys, sorry to barge in, but we forg…" they were stopped in mid sentence when they saw Tak sitting on the couch.
"But…you…dea…" they said in perfect synchronization. We watched as the two suddenly turned pale white and faint. They two hit the floor with a loud thud.
Midge's POV
I slowly awoke from a deep sleep. My head hurt, and the last thing I could remember was seeing Tak sitting on the couch in her home. But I knew that couldn't be true, she had been dead for quite some time. I remember going to the funeral. I suddenly heard a voice speak to me.
"Wow, you two look like you've seen a ghost." I turned my head to see the speaker. It was Tak.
"This is a dream, you're dead…right?" this came from my mate, Lia, who was sitting right next to me.
"I did die. But apparently the medaling antics of a certain human have brought me back to life."
"I'm confused," I said as to indicate my current feelings toward the situation.
"Aren't we all?" this came from Zim, who seemed to be the happiest I've seen him since the day of his marriage.
"What happened?" I asked.
"You and Lia fainted at the very sight of me."
"No, how did you come back to life?"
"I can explain that," this came from the Dib that Zim had always told us about, his arch nemesis.
We all sat down and listen to how it happened that this kid had access to some sort of magical box of revivingness.
"Wait, if you hated Zim enough that you came all the way out here to dissect him, why did you give him back the one thing in life that had always made him happy?"
"I just couldn't
stand watching him go on the way he was, it was pathetic."
"ZIM
IS NEVER PETHETIC!!"
"You kind of were during those 60 years," this came from Rek, my son-in-law.
"SILENCE!"
"Please don't provoke him, I just came back from the dead and I do not want to deal with his screaming."
"None of us do, Tak. None of us do." This came from my daughter Kez. I was still so confused.
Zim's POV
Midge had just heard the story of how Tak had come back to life. He still seemed confused. I'm sure we all were. Lia hardly said anything. She just gave Tak a hug of relief, to know that she got a dear friend back. We all followed the motion, except for Dib, he just pulled out another note book. I decided to let him continue his pointless notes. I knew that they would never matter, and plus I didn't care. If any thing I had him to thank. If he had never come, I never would have seen Tak again. For that I was grateful. VERY grateful.
End of Chapter 10
