That last chapter was pretty interesting, huh? Well, you haven't seen anything yet. Tomorrow, you will get a tasty Gaz-fit of doom. Oh yes, there shall be many explosions.

Chapter 10

I ran out of the doors before Torque could throw something else at me. I had been in a foul mood since the only two people who liked me (or rather, tolerated me) had bailed. They totally left me! How could Zim do such a thing? He knows I need his help in P.E…. Oh, well…I guess I can't really blame him. He did screw up pretty bad with Gaz. That stupid Irken always manages to over-react though…no telling what he's done by now….

I vaulted up the front steps and had just made it to the bottom of the stairs when I heard voices coming from Gaz's room. At first I thought she was playing a videogame, until I noticed one of the voices was hers. I creeped up the stairs and inched towards her door, careful not to alert the flesh-eating dolls—or worse, Gaz—to my presence. I pressed an ear to the door.

"Thank you for agreeing to be downloaded, Computer. It will be nice to have someone else to talk to around here. I mean, talking to Dib is…ugh, okay…but I'd much rather talk to something inhuman." Computer? As in, Zim's computer? Oh good, they must have made up.

"No problem. I will do whatever you ask, my Mistress."

What? Mistress? Did that mean that Zim and Gaz were now together? I resisted the urge to jump and click my heels.

"Computer…I'm glad we're dating." My jaw dropped open, and before I could clap a hand over my mouth, I responded.

"WHAT?" My hand closed over my mouth, and my eyes widened in terror. A sharp metal leg protruded beneath the door frame. The lights in Gaz's room turned red. The voices were silent. The air seemed to be sucked from the entire house, and all other lights dimmed. I began sweating, my hands growing clammy. I was…I was doomed.

Gaz suddenly opened her door, her eyes gleefully sadistic.

"You sure are, Dib." She grabbed my collar and pulled me in.

~some time later~

I awoke, feeling bleary eyed. It was dark. I must have fallen asleep in my bed after… wait. Oh, no!

"Hi, idiot." A red light illuminated the room, and exposed a very, very intimidating Gaz. She grabbed my hair.

"Can I ask you one teeny, tiny question?" She asked sweetly. I gulped and nodded.

"…What the HECK DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING EAVESDROPPING ON MY CONVERSATION?" She knocked the chair I was strapped to over and got one of her dolls (the one with saw-blade hands) and held it over me. She glared down at me, her eyes wide and looking fiery with rage.

"I'll rage you, you moron! Answer my question!" She sawed through the middle of the chair seat, right between my legs. I yelped.

"I'm sorry! I thought Zim was here!" She pulled the blade back and put her head down so I couldn't see her eyes. At first, I thought she was crying. Then I realized that would be weird: Gaz didn't cry. She slowly raised her head, her voice moving from a whisper to a shout.

"Don't. Ever. SAY HIS NAME AGAIN!" She revved the saw at me. I flinched and began wailing, then stopped.

"Wait. I understand you being angry, but what's the cause for this dooming mood?"

"I'M NOT TELLING YOU!" She sawed down the center of the chair more.

"OKAY! Okay…. Just…let me go and I won't breathe a word of this." The saw blade shot towards my face. I begged God for forgiveness, knowing this was the end.

"It's not the end yet, stupid. Now go by me a pizza. I'm going to work on my piggy mural." I opened my eyes. The lights were back to normal, and my restraints had been cut. I touched my chest, checking to see if I had been cut anywhere. I hadn't. I jumped and squealed to myself. I was alive!

"GO BUY ME A PIZZA!" I jumped and ran to Bloaty's Pizza Hog like I had never run before. Little did I know, a different type of dooming was going on across town.
