Hello people!

Sorry this chapter is kinda short. I've felt guilty about not updating this for a long time. In fact, I've just passed the year mark. I beg forgiveness.

Dib: I do not give it to you.

Me: Why?

Annora: Obvious reasons...

Me: Ah, well….

I wanted to thank a very special person. Ravwrin, ( Spell that right?) I wanted to make sure that you got a bucket of rainbows for being awsome and for your kind words. If you do not like dropslets of water that reflect light and seperate it into different colors like a glass prism, I'll give you a fresh waffle instead. THANK YOU!

River: YAY FOR YOU!

Breeze: MEH!

Me: YAY!

I also want to thank Tobi the Simsmeister for your outstanding support! You have not just reviewed many times on this story, but have also been looking at my other story, Aztec Fire, and reviewing there as well. Thank you so much!

Reviewers get a special place in my stories. So, REVEIW!


( Zim P.O.V )

It was four days since the Annora-human was attacked by the Dib-beast. Normally, I would go hunt for revenge, but I was too preoccupied.

" H.C!" I shouted in a commanding fashion. " Hand me those bandages!"

" Yes almighty." H.C grumbled unhappily.

A claw appeared from the ceiling, scooped up the roll, and threw it at my face.

With a yelp, I managed to dodge the incoming missile.

" COMPUTER!" I roared. " I'M TRYING TO HEAL SOMEONE HERE!"

" Since when have you cared?" H.C grumbled as he gently placed the roll on Annora's stomach. " And another thing, you should put your costume back on. Someone might look throught the window or something…"

" Who's going to do that?" I said. " Only Dib does that, and he's recovering in his dirt-father's lab. Let me focuse on the Arvid-human, okay?"

I was getting worried.

She hasn't woken up. I thought. If the coma lasts over a week, then I'll need to run complex scans to make sure her body isn't shutting down.

Another thought caused me to frown.

H.C is right. Since when have I cared? I should dump this dirt-child out on the street, and laugh in my awesomeness as I watch her perish!

This thought was more of what I was used too. Still, that nagging feeling tugged at the corner of my mind.

I bared my teeth.

" I will heal her because she is a Ferni!" I shouted to no one in particular. " Not for any other reason!"

" That's great master." H.C yawned sarcastically. " You deserve a reward for your outstanding kindness and selflessness..."

" Shut up." I snapped.

I sat back on my heels and wiped my damp forhead. With a sigh, I glanced over at the human on the couch.

Annora groaned and her eye lids fluttered weakly.

" Come on…" I found myself saying. " Please wake up…"

Annora's eyes opened with a snap.

" FREYA!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. I yelped and dove to the floor, holding my antenna in pain.

Gir screamed along with Annora, holding his highest pitch like a filthy human soprano. My antenna nearly exploded.

" GIR!" I cried out desperately. " SHUT YOUR NOISE-TUBE!"

Everything was a mess. Annora had finished screaming and was now sobbing loudly. Gir had attached himself to my P.A.K and was screaming in my antenna, and, to top it off, H.C decided that it would be great fun to set off a few noisy fire-works. I nearly fainted with all the noise. Irken antenna are highly sensitive.

" EVERYONE!" I shouted in agony. " EVERYONE, ZIM DEMANDS THAT YOU SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!"

It was actually amazing how fast my order was carried out. Gir finished screaming, coughing on his breath instead, and H.C defused his last fire-work with a 'Pop!'

I looked up at Annora, who was panting.

" Holy mother of the maya!" she gaped. " Where am I?"

" You are in the base of Zim." I replied, surprised at how quiet and strained my voice had become.

I scowled.

" Stupid computer! Stupid Gir!"

" MASTA!" Gir shouted, seizing one of my antenna for better effect. " DA PRETTY LADY IS AWAKE!"

" Wow, I didn't see that Gir." I rasped sarcastically. " Thank you."

" YOU'RE WELCOME!"

Gir…" I whispered, wincing. " Can you let go of my…"

…antenna. Oh no...

Annora gazed up at me with wide eyes. I blinked a few times. Annora sighed.

" Zim…" she said slowly.

" Yes human? I'm normal." I replied, hoping to distract her from the fact that I was Irken. She rolled her eyes.

" What if someone looked through the window idiot?"

" Hey! That's what I said!" H.C said from above. " I like her!"

I winced. Even the smallest noise caused a wave of pain to shudder through my head.

" Urg…" I moaned. Annora frowned. She tried to sit up, but fell back with a groan.

H.C laughed like the lunatic he was.

" You two sound like a zombie choir on halloween!" he snickered. I cringed.

" I hate zombies…." Annora said before I could. I cocked my head in surprise.

" Really? Zim hates the nasty blood-suckers too!"

" Zim, blood-suckers are vampires."

" Ah. Zim knew that."

" MASTA!" Gir shouted again. " WHY YOU SHOW DA PRETTY LADY YOUR OTHER FACE?"

" Gir-!" I cried. " Shut up!"

Annora glanced up at me. I noticed a shadow of a smile on her lips.

" What is it human?" I asked miserably. " Thinking of ways to expose Zim?"

Annora shook her head and winced.

" Hell no, Zim." she huffed. " I'm the one who should be worried."

Confused, I cocked my head to one side.

" Why?"

" You're going to kill me, right? So I don't talk?"

My mind screamed yes. But after a moment of thought, I said something else.

" No. Zim has spent the pasted few days trying to keep you alive. Zim will not wast his efforts."

Annora sucked in a deep breath.

" Good."

"Do you not care that Zim is a horrible monster from the stars?" I asked.

Annora smiled.

" I shouldn't tell you this." she said. " But I like you way better with your disguise off."

" Why not tell me human?" I asked, feeling flattered. Annora raised an eyebrow.

" Because it will go to your head."

" Oh. What about my head?"

" No, I mean…Never mind…"

There was a pause here. Gir curled up on my shoulder and started snoring. I rubbed the tip of my antenna, sighing softly at the relief it brought.

" Zim?"

" Yes huma- er, Annora?"

" Please, how long…?"

" You're not going to like it."

" I don't care."

" Four days."

Annora gasped. She stared up at the ceiling, a look of shock and horror on her face.

" Four days?" she whimpered. I nodded, feeling oddly depressed. Annora clenched her teeth.

" My sisters…?

" Are well, and ready for revenge on the Dib-thing." I replied.

" That's my job." she said, her eyes closing. " My job..."

I sighed and sat next to the couch.

" Whatever you say, human..."

MOOT! FINALLY IT'S DONE! What will happen when Annora and Dib meet at Skool? Blood and Gore? Perhaps. Is Gir destined to become a famous soprano singer? Eh, probably not...

SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!
