Chapter 10
Gaz woke up in her room from the sound of loud voices from downstairs. Her head was still in a sleeping state so it took her a long time to adjust to her surroundings. The first thing she looked at was the clock thank god it was a digital clock, the bright red numbers on it read 9:34am it was too early for her to get up. Anger in its primal energy filled Gaz up for she knew who it was that woke her up, the only person that is up and yelling at 9 o'clock. So she calmly got up out of her bed and made it, got dressed in her usual outfit, grabbed her bat, opened her bedroom door, went downstairs and hid in the corner at the second level of the stairs.
Gaz looking down into the living room to confirmed her suspicions. There were several people downstairs there was an older couple she didn't know and Zita was there. She liked Zita mostly because she kept Dib out of the house and kept him from ranting about Zim. Big deal Zim is an alien he'll never take over the planet he's too much of an idiot.
And there he was the object of her rage; Dib was holding another person she couldn't see against the wall. That was a little weird but whatever while he was distracted she decided to attack so in one motion she jumped down the stairs and smashed Dib in the back with her bat.
Forty Five minutes earlier Dib, Zita, Johnny, and Devi drove up in the driveway of the Membrane house. Dib had a look of terror on his face what was he going to do the mall was fucked there was no other place to get her Game Slave 3. An item like that is going to be like finding a Nintendo Wii on the day it came out on 3 pm. They all got out of Devi's car and walked to the front porch.
"So Dib can I come in I need to go to the bathroom." Johnny said doing the urine dance like an idiot. Devi lovely punched him in the arm and rolled her eyes.
"Why didn't you go before we left?" Zita started snickering at this because Dib was guilty of doing this on occasion.
"I'm a guy I guess, my dick is stupid." They all began laughing and Dib motioned to the door. "I was about to invite all you guys in any way its Gaz's birthday and I just invited you all the celebration to end them all. (Not to mention Dib getting his head busted the fuck open by Gaz for not getting her a present. Oh yeah, great times ahead for him in his future a cracked open head.)" They all went inside the house and quietly sat in the living room and turned on the TV, Johnny ran to the bathroom and Devi shook her head. Devi turned to Zita and Dib leaned in and whispered "His dick may be stupid but it's huge" they all quietly laughed but Dib politely shushed them for Gaz is sleeping no need for her to beat his ass earlier than to be expected. They silently giggled and started watching TV.
Zita sat next to Dib and rested her head on his shoulder. Dib leaned over and kissed her head, just then someone plopped down on his left it was Johnny with a soda in his hand. On the TV the news had nothing to say about the moose invasion or the mall explosion so that means all is well. Oh well its better not to dwell on this he is alright now the pain is almost gone and tomorrow is another day to take his vengeance on Zim. Zita was ok but all was not well it was Gaz's birthday he should've just got the present first thing in the morning. Of course he didn't he went straight to Zita's house and made love to her.
"Honey, did your dad made her a cake?" Zita looked up to him and smiled.
"Yeah it is in the fridge, Gaz likes a colder cake its better like that when the icing is like a shell." Dib likes a colder cake too but not a black and purple icing cake like she does but whatever.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door which is a little strange because no one other than the people in the living room right now come over. Dib never has had any friends until he met Johnny 3years ago in a movie theater. He was there seeing the new alien versus predator movie, well just to see it but it sucked ass. After the movie Dib saw Devi and Johnny laughing about the movie so they all started talking and the rest is history. But still who could this be.
"Dib is this for Gaz for her birthday her friends maybe?" Devi said as Dib walked over to the front door. That was impossible Gaz has no friends because she purposely alienates herself from every one, in short she is a bitch.
"Nah, she doesn't have any friends Dev." Dib opened the door and to his amazement, it was someone he would have never expected to see at his front porch the Irkin Invader Zim. He was in his human disguise and stood there with an object in his hand. Dib didn't give himself a chance to see what it was because in one swift action he grabbed Zim by his collar and tossed him into the room. Everyone in the room was in shock, they went to school with Zim, and Zita was in his science class. He was strange but they didn't know that he was an alien. This was Dib's chance to expose Zim was an alien and to show to everyone what he has been doing in all of his spare time.
Dib then ran to Zim who was still on the floor grabbed him and pinned him against the wall. Zita jumped up and ran over to Dib and started to try to pull him away from Zim. "DIB WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!" she screamed. He looked over his shoulder at her with a very stern face it was filled with anger not at her but at himself for not telling her this sooner. "Z THIS PIECE OF SHIT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE SHIT THAT WENT ON IN THE CITY!!!!" the look in everyone's eyes was just full of confusion and horror to what was going on. All the while Zim just remained emotionless holding an object in his hand.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DIB, ZIM IS JUST A NORMAL KID THAT GOES TO YOUR SCHOOL HOW CAN HE BE RESPONSIBLE." Now Devi started to yell but Dib knew exactly what to say next. None of them new Zim like he knew Zim. But before Dib could begin his tirade someone came up behind him and smashed him in the back with something really hard.
Zim was released from Dib's grasp as he fell to the floor in pain. Zita screamed and ran to Dibs side that was already beginning to stand back up. For a brief moment he thought it was Zim that hit him until he turned around to see Gaz standing there with a bat in her hand.
"GAZ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!" Dib got right up in Gaz's face to see her just glaring at him with evil in her eyes. "You woke me up asshole, what the fuck is going on down here." Dib pointed at Zim who was just leaning against the wall with a very neutral look on his face. "This is what I always wanted to tell you and why I'm always in a mood." He walked over to Zita and the rest who were so confused by the sight of their best friend going nuts. But insanity is something that both Devi and Johnny have in common in their very checkered past. Zita herself was so scared for Dib he has never acted this way.
"He is an alien an invader to destroy us and our way of life, I've spent most of my life trying to stop him and reveal his identity to the world." They all just stared at him. "Dib what are you talking about Zim isn't an alien your talking out of your ass again." Johnny said with his arms crossed. Dib look back at Gaz pleading her to back him up. "Tell them Gaz he's an alien you were there you saved me from him once." Gaz looked at him and simply walked past him and sat down. "I'm not getting involved in this I'm watching TV." Dib was full of frustration now what the fuck is he going to do everyone thinks he's crazy.
"You believe me right Zita?" she just looked at him with tears in her eyes how could she believe him this was nuts.
"I-I-I-I don't know Dib this is really weird." Oh great now the woman he loves thinks he's nuts. Everything is coming apart.
But in all this chaos Zim walked forward in the center of everyone in the room. "He's right the Dib is right humans I am not of this planet." In one motion he removed his contacts and his wig and tosses them on the floor. Everyone in the room just keep their eyes on the creature in front of them.
Zita screamed and grabbed Dib and held him close to her. Johnny and Devi just stood there and gave Zim a look over and turned to Dib. "Well dude looks like I owe you an apology." "Yeah I was always on your side I always known that he was weird." Devi lied she was a very bad liar but Dib appreciated the gesture.
"Don't worry humans I come in peace, and I'm here to admit my defeat and to inform you that I will be leaving this planet forever." Of course Dib just glared at him and got right in his face. "How stupid do you think I am space boy you clearly have something up your sleeve." Zim just looked at him with a straight face and walked past him to the center of the room in front of the TV.
"I'm no longer an invader Dib human I never was, my whole purpose for being here was only a way for me to be away from my kind. As for your planet and its further existence it is safe from me from now on there is no need for me to be here anymore." As Zim finished Dib walked over to him still in disbelief and grabbed the collar of his shirt. "Prove it space boy why should I believe this." Zita ran over to Dib's side she was still terrified and confused of what was going on.
She knew that Dib was holding something back from her for a long time but this, she would have never have expected this.
"Dib babe I finally see why you have been so careful to hide this from me, but you need to let him talk he looks sincere to me look at his face." Zim's face was full of disappointment and deep sadness. Dib looked back at Zita as if to say something to her but didn't his attention was still on Zim.
"I have proof human every conversation I get from my leaders get recorded into my P.A.K so that I can view it later. This is the reason why I'm not an invader anymore." Just as Zim finished his sentence a television screen popped out of his P.A.K and started to play the whole conversation between Zim and the Almighty Tallest.
Throughout the whole recording everyone in the room gathered around Dib except Gaz who just sat there ignoring the whole thing watching T.V. Zita who was still clinging to Dib's arm felt sorry for Zim but was still afraid of him. On the other hand Johnny and Devi who are very familiar with the supernatural just stood there smiling back at each other. After the recording ended Zim turned to the door and picked up the object that he brought in.
"This is a peace offering possibly iron out any past differences, if it doesn't what is the phrase you humans use…. I don't give a flying fuck." He handed it to Dib and then waited for a response. Dib looked at what to him was salvation in a portable game system. It was a Game Slave 3 and not just a regular one it was the collector edition which was impossible to get unless you worked for the company. Gaz who was still watching T.V was unaware of what just happened. "I know you humans pine for this so I got the best one." Zim simply said.
"How did you get this it's impossible to find?" Dib still locked on the object that will save him from his sister's wrath.
A slight smirk fell on Zim's face when the answer entered Dib's brain which was probably like you don't want to know.
Zim began to turn to the front door and said "I'm leaving now and I will not harm your planet or anything else for that matter, farewell humans." But as he grabbed the knob Gaz finally spoke up.
"You're not leaving Zim you just saved my brothers miserable existence (how she knew what Zim gave Dib was still unknown but whatever) so you will stay here and I'm not taking no for an answer so go home get your shit and come here… and bring you costume I don't need my dad flipping." They all turned to Zim to see his response and he simply said OK.
