Zim

Chapter X: Questions and Answers

Gaz was sitting down under a tree next to Zim. He kept his eyes closed, and talked.

"Something you want to talk about Little Gaz?" His smirk was unrelenting. Gaz just looked at the alien, sighed, then asked the question that was bugging her all morning.

"What did you do to my brother?" Zim just chuckled at her question his smirk growing wider.

"Now why would I tell you that?" Gaz was quiet, she honestly was not expecting him to ask that so she didn't have an answer. Zim, noticing her lack of answer, chuckled once more.

"Anything else beautiful?" Gaz hated it when he said things like that; they made her blush. She looked away, not wanting him to see her red cheeks.

"No? Ok then, looks like it's my turn. You wanna go out tonight?" Gaz snapped her head to face him, shock was all over her face. Her face was beet red, and her eyes wide. Her mouth opened to say something, but nothing came out. Zim looked over at her and couldn't help but actually smile, not smirk, but smile.

"Then it's settled. I'll pick you up at 7 sharp. Be ready." And with that he got up and walked away, leaving an incredibly stunned Gaz.

~* 6:50 p.m.*~

Gaz had gotten ready for her date with Zim an hour ago. She had on a black Lolita skirt with skulls on them, accompanied by a black and white striped tube top. She had webbed net stockings on under her skirt and slick, black, low-heeled boots that went up to her mid-shin. Because she had gotten ready so early, she's had to deal with the ranting and raving of Dib.

"I can't believe you're ACTUALLY going thru with this Gaz! I mean he's an alien for Christ's sake, AN ALIEN!" Dib was furious upon hearing the news of Gaz's date. Tonight also just happened to be a night their father was home.

"I know that Dib. Now leave me the hell ALONE!" Dib looked at her shocked.

"You know he's an alien and you're STILL going thru with this?!" all of a sudden their father came in from his lab in the basement.

"Dib, I don't want you making fun of your sister's choice in men. She can go out with whoever she wants as long as I deem them worthy." Both children were genuinely shocked. They actually didn't think he would care that much. Soon there was a knock at the door. Gaz looked over at the wall clock and saw it said 7:00. He wasn't kidding when he said he would be here at 7 sharp. Their dad, Professor Membrane, was the one to answer the door.

"Ah you must be Zim, my daughter's date for the night! It's a pleasure to meet you. If you don't mind I would like to ask you a few questions before you go."

"Of course, sir. It would be an honor to sit and talk with the world famous Professor Membrane." Zim did his military bow: right fist lifted to his left shoulder, left fist at his side. He wore a nice red, long-sleeve button up shirt with nicely pressed black dress pants. He had his usual boots hidden underneath his pants, and his hair was in its usual spiked up style.

Professor Membrane seemed quite satisfied with his reply and appearance, and led him into the kitchen.

"Please, have a seat. May I offer you a drink of some sort?"

"No, that won't be necessary, sir. Thank you though for the offer." The professor seemed to be impressed by the polite decline.

"So, Zim, what exactly are your plans for this evening?"

"Well, sir, I would like to take your lovely daughter to diner at Bloaty's Pizza and then, afterwards, catch a movie at the local theater at the mall." Zim was calm, cool, and collective when he spoke. He was not intimidated at all by the imposing figure before him. Gaz was really impressed with how Zim was reacting, and Dib was getting furious because it seemed like his dad was believing in his gentleman act. Membrane only nodded, and then continued.

"What are your intentions with my daughter?"

"I can assure you that my only intentions are to make sure Gaz is safe and cared for at all times. She's a unique and special creation that deserves only the best and the up most respect, which I intend to provide." Everyone was stunned at the answer. Gaz was blushing profusely; Dib was staring at the green teenager, his eye twitching every few seconds; and they're dad's face, though hard to tell, was beaming.

"Excellent! I expect her to be home before midnight. Oh and Zim I would like to just have some time to talk and get to know you better."

"It would be a pleasure, sir. And I will make sure Gaz is returned safely home before the appointed time."

And with that the couple left to enjoy their date.
