The day finished faster than I thought it would.
"Alright," Sizz-Lorr said, "I'll be leaving now. HAVE A HORRIBLE NIGHT. Bye."
Then he left. I looked in the fridge and what I found was not good. The shrinky food was gone!
"ZIM! WHERE IS IT?" I asked, my heart pounding as my worry increased.
"I-I DON'T KNOW! MAYBE…" then he made a face as if to say he knew EXACTLY what went on.
"Sizz-Lorr…he must have thrown it out. Well, we're just going to have to make more. I'll get out the stuff to make it and you make sure we have everything we need to get out of here- which isn't much."
With that I walked into the bedroom, grabbed my phone and iPod that were in my pocket when I arrived, and went back to the kitchen (and I took a mini shampoo ).
"Hurry up and make it!" I said. "My antennas are bleeding from these stupid things!" and I was referring to what was a blackish colored blood.
"Alright. I'll put it in the oven." he said and that's what he did, "It takes ten minutes."
"Okay." I said, grabbing and stacking a few chairs by the vent so it would be easier to climb up to.
"Alright," I said, "all we have to do is wait."
Then after about eight more minutes, it was taken out of the oven. I devoured half of it even though it probably gave my tongue third-degree burns. Zim did as well. Then we just …shrank. (the restraints and our clothes shrank as well) We were about the size of two paperclips. We climbed up the chairs and into the vent.
"Alright, Zim. W-wait…" I said as I spotted heat waves, "You left the heater on, you dork!"
"Too late to fix it now. Let's just go before it gets too hot." Zim said. We just kept walking.
Several minutes passed. My ears still bled.
"I-I can't go anymore…" I said as it felt to be AT LEAST 110 degrees.
"We…have to," Zim said short of breath, "We can't turn back…"
"I'm baking in here." I said, "I…don't care what happens to us. Let's stay here."
"You can. I'm going." he said.
"No…don't leave me here. I don't want to be alone."
It didn't get funny until he started dragging me by my arm.
"QUIT IT!" I shouted. I looked ahead and saw city lights of the night.
"WE'RE FREE!" I shouted, running as fast as I could. I opened the vent, jumped out, and landed in a pile of grass. The dew caused by whatever liquid was so could I could just stay there forever. I heard Zim land next to me and he started dragging my arm again. I felt my antennas to see if they were still bleeding and just as I touched them, the earrings came off. Zim saw this and easily took the shackle off his leg.
"YES!" I cheered and started to run. I had no idea where I was going…
But who cared, WE WERE FREE!
