The next day, Gaz and Minimoose woke up. Professor Membrane was talking about something in his sleep. "No. I don't want to get up." he said. Then he opened his eyes. "It's late guys. Let's go to bed."
Gaz looked at the time. It was seven am. "Dad, it's morning." Gaz said. "Who goes to sleep at seven am? Are you dreaming?"
Gir got up and jumped on Professor Membrane's bed. "Wake up, wake up, wake up!" he screamed. "No Mom." Professor Membrane said.
Gaz stared at her father. "Did you just call Gir your mother? DAD! WAKE UP!" Gaz screamed. Minimoose squeaked by Zim, but Zim didn't wake up.
"Alright. I'm up Gaz." Professor Membrane said. "Finally." Gaz said and she got Gir off of Professor Membrane. "Gir, if you want to help, wake Zim up."
"Isn't he wake?" Gir asked. "I thought he was asleep." Gaz said. Zim was half asleep. "Gir, stop." he mumbled. Then Professor Membrane fell asleep again and started talking about a zoo. "Zoo!? Dad! Wake up! You too Zim!" Gaz yelled. Zim went back to sleep. Minimoose squeaked.
"Okay Gaz." Professor Membrane said. "Okay. Are we awake now?" Gaz asked. Minimoose squeaked. Gaz looked at Zim and sighed. "Zim. Just leave him alone guys. Who wants some breakfast?" Gaz asked. Then she turned to Gir. "Gir, I need to talk to you."
"What is it?" Gir asked. "Do irkens get seasick on cruises?" Gaz whispered. "I don't know." Gir said. "Maybe."
"Maybe? Oh great. Dad, can you see what's going on with Zim?" Gaz asked. There was silence. "Hello?" Gaz asked. "Yes." Gir said. "Where's my father?" Gaz asked. "I'm by the bathroom." Professor Membrane said. "I want you to check on Zim!" Gaz yelled.
Minimoose squeaked and went over to the sleeping Zim. Zim finally woke up. "Yay! He's awake!" Gir yelled. "Finally." Gaz said. "What time is it?" Zim asked.
Gaz looked at the clock. "8:25." she answered. "Am?" Zim asked. Gaz nodded and grabbed her game.
"I want to play in the pool!" Gir yelled. "The pool?" Gaz asked. "You want to go to the pool?"
"Yes." Gir said.
Zim was still in bed. "Zim, get up. Gir wants to go to the pool." Gaz explained. Zim did not move. He just stared at his robot. Minimoose squeaked. "Zim, get up." Gaz said. "I will. Five more minutes." Zim mumbled. "Um Zim, it's almost nine in the morning. Nine in the morning." Gaz said.
Zim turned to the balcony. He was still in the bed. "Fine. Sleep the day away. Come on guys." Gaz said. "It's just us guys." Professor Membrane said. "Yay!" Gir yelled. "What about me? I'm not a guy! Hello!?" Gaz yelled. "Fine. I'm in charge of you guys! I don't know what the heck are you two are up to. You both are acting like Gir."
"There are two Gir's?" Zim asked. "No." Gaz answered. "Thank goodness." Zim said. "I know, but my father is like letting his hair down. He's being a scientist and is not thinking that one of us is crazy!" Gaz yelld. "Only you know who is crazy." Zim said. "Yeah. I know." Gaz said.
"Just leave them alone Gaz." Zim said. "Fine, but I'm going with them. Let's go to the pool." Gaz said. She, Professor Membrane, Gir, and Minimoose left.
When they got to the pool, Gaz kept an eye on Gir, Minimoose, and even her father.
In the jail, people were teasing Dib. "Oh look guys, check out the big head kid!" a tough guy said. "Yeah! Let's use him as a punching bag!" His skinny friend said.
"I'm just glad my brother's not here." Gaz said. She jumped into the water with her father, Gir, and Minimoose. Minimoose went down a slide. "Me next!" Professor Membrane yelled.
"We're acting like children. What are we? Gir?" Gaz asked. Minimoose squeaked. "So we're all acting like Gir except for me and Zim?" Gaz asked. Minimoose squeaked. "Zim's back in the cabin Minimoose." Gaz explained.
At twelve noon, Gaz and the guys went back to the cabin to check on Zim. Zim was silent.
"Hey Zim." Gaz said. "Oh hey. How was the pool?" Zim asked. "Everyone acted like Gir." Gaz explained.
"I'm sad now." Gir said. "Why?" Zim asked. "I want a piggy balloon." Gir said. "A piggy balloon? Zim, what's with Gir and pigs?" Gaz asked. "Don't ask me. It's what's in Gir's head I'm worried about." Zim said. Minimoose squeaked.
Gir started running around. "I want a piggy!" he screamed. "He's in Disney Land!"
"Disney land?" Gaz and Zim asked. "We're on a cruise Gir and we're not going to Disney land." Zim ordered. Gir walked away sadly.
"Okay. Now that that's over, now what?" Gaz asked. "Well I'm gonna get up." Zim said and he finally got up. "I'm getting hungry. Come on Zim." Gaz said. "Okay." Zim said. Minimoose squeaked. "Sure Minimoose, you can come too." Zim said. "Dad, want to come?" Gaz asked.
"No thanks Gaz. I'm busy playing volleyball." Professor Membrane said. "Volleyball in the cabin!? Dad." Gaz said. Professor Membrane left the room and went to the volleyball court.
Zim looked at Gaz. "Is he supposed to be like this?" Zim asked. "No. He's on a five year vacation. And so are we." Gaz said. "Okay." Zim said. He, Gaz, and Minimoose went to get some food.
Meanwhile, Dib was still in jail and the prisoners were using his head as a punching bag. Still.
Zim and Gaz were sitting down together laughing about Dib still being in the jail. "Thank goodness he's not here." Gaz said. "I know. Where's Gir?" Zim asked. Gaz shrugged and Minimoose squeaked.
Gir was eating all the food in a bowl. Zim and Gaz looked at Gir. "There's Gir." Gaz said. "I see." Zim said. "Gir?"
Gir looked at Zim. "Yes?" he asked. "Look Gir, this cruise was nice and all, but we need to go." Zim said.
