Chapter 14: The End is Near

Zim was spending his night in front of the computer screen looking the countdown. He was tapping his claws on the board when he got tired of it and decided to place, instead, the map of the city and look where the Dib had gone. He was sure the human was still unaware of the bug he had placed on him.

"I can't believed he is still concerned for that female-worm", the alien muttered, "as far as I'm concerned we are better of without her". He looked the red dot leave his house and walk all the way back to the Kollege. He poked the dot and heard the cling-cling of the screen. 'Mhmm… why didn't I placed a bug on that filthy girl?', he started to wonder and looked the dot wall up and down the Kollege map, 'Nah! She isn't important'. He chuckled triumphantly.

"Seems to me you are all alone again, Dib-uh", said Zim in a mocking tone, "what are you gonna do now, uh?". The dot left the Kollege and walked east to the little place Zim heard the humans call 'caffee'. The dot stopped there, doing nothing. Zim yawned. "You are wasting your time Dib-beast", he said to the dot, "you should be more concerned about earth being conquered by ME!". The alien let out an evil laughter. The dot started to move again and it went far to the west until it arrived to the movie theatre and then went still again.

"Why is it so hard to you, Dib…", Zim started in a very soft tone and he caressed the dot in the screen, "… to acept Zim as the most suitable partner you'll ever have?". As if the dot rejected Zim it moved when his claw rubbed the screen, away from his touch. The alien growled and punched the place were the dot stopped at the opposite side of the theatre. "FINE! Be that way!", he snarled, "you'll come back to Zim crawling. Did you hear me? CRAWLING!!!".

Zim huffed and took a seat in his hoovering cocoon-like chair. He crossed his arms and tapped his foot - even tough he didn't touch the floor - while his ruby eyes remained stuck on the screen. After finishing its guided tour the dot seemed to go crazy and move all aver the map without order or purpose. It moved so frantically that Zim felt dizzy and he decided to close his eyes just a moment. He didn't realized he took a little nap in the process but he dreamed.

Zim was standing in a high place, he couldn't see exactly were but he was outdoors because he could see the night sky all sprinkled with stars. He had seen the night sky a lot of times but for some reason in this place it looked astounding.

"I'm glad you like it here… Zim", a voice interrupted him. The alien immediately turned around to look at the intruder.

"You?", he said in a startled tone, "How could you be here?"

"I came to talk to you, Zimmy", said Ren with a sweet smile.

"Unbelievable", he said through clenched teeth, "I saw you… saw you…"

"Die?", she said and giggled some, "Are you sure I'm dead, Zimmy?". She looked at him and walked until she was standing right by his side and lifted her head to look at the stars.

"I'm pretty sure you are", said Zim in a cocky tone and crossed his arms. He looked at the human but she looked just like he had seen her in his base, "I saw that thing go right into your head".

Ren just kept looking at the stars without acknowledging Zim if she had heard him or not. The alien huffed, he didn't like not being noticed.

"I'm going to take him for me", she finally said.

"Wha…", said Zim without understanding why she had decided to say that all of a sudden.

"I'm going to take Dib for me", Ren repeated and she looked into Zim red eyes, "unless you have something to say about the matter Zim".

"Ha!", he chuckled, "and why do you think the Dib-beast is going to let you 'take him'?"

"He likes me, Zimmy", she said and placed the back of her hand under her chin, "that's far more of what we can say about him and you, don't you think?". Zim grinded his teeth together, he seemed ready to leap at Ren at any moment.

"If you want to stop me from taking him away from you", she said and lifted a brow, "I suggest you to come stargazing with us…"

"Where?", Zim said and he made his claws close in tight fists.

"Dib's favorite spot, Zimmy", said Ren and turned her back on him, she started to walk away, "if you know him that well, I'm sure you'll not miss this".

"You treacherous, vile…", Zim opened his eyes and discovered he was at his base, he looked around as if Ren were going to jump out of nowhere. He was alone. He saw the computer screen had gonne back to the countdown and the white numbers showed 11 hours, 00 minutes, and 00 seconds. He made the screen show the Dib location in the screen and the countdown was placed in a corner, that way, Zim would be watching both. The Dib had finally arrived home. It seem the human hadn't decide to go in because the dot remained still in front of the door and remained there for a while. After a while it hurriedly went into the house and right into the young paranormalist room.

"Excelent", said Zim and tapped the point of his claws against each other, "now that the Dib has gone to his room I'll turn on the spying camera located there". He tapped a few buttons and the map with the red dot was gone to let an image of Dib laying in bed get the screen. Zim hummed as if there was something wrong with the scene and inputed a command into the system to make the camera show the room from a different angle and he could have a shot of the sleeping human's face.

"She is not gonna take you for her…", he started to say to the sleeping Dib as if it could hear him, "… and you are not going to let HER take YOU, did you hear me?". Zim punched the screen right on Dib's nose. "If I can't have you…", the alien growled and clawed the screen, "… no one will". He looked at the sleeping human some more before moving away from the screen, that went back to the countdown only.

"I'll go to refresh and prepare myself for the battle, computer", the alien said as if he had all the time in the world, "let me know once the file is open and ready".

Yes, Zim…

ooooo

Open your eyes…

"Mhmm?"

Open your eyes, Dib…

"Ren? Is that you?"

The young paranormaist opened his eyes and blinked a couple of times, he supported the upper part of his body with his elbows and rubbed his eyes. Dib looked around to find the owner of the voice. "Ren?". He was alone.

"Argh…", he grumped and decided to sit in his bed before deciding to really leave it, "… maybe it was just a dream".

He heard a rustling sound comming from his closet and he immediately stood up. 'Now what…', he tought. He started to walk to the door as silently as he could. 'I hope it's better something or I'm going to stand like a perfect idiot'. The rusling became more frantical and some king of voice could be heard from inside but very muffled. Dib grasped the door knob and opened it as fast as he could, taking a leap back just in case something wanted to grab him from his closet.

For a long moment nothing came from within the closet. Dib chuckled some and placed a hand on his forehead to run his finges through his scyte"What am I doing? I'm not afraid of my closet, I know what is there and…", his soliloquy was interrupted for a flying shirt that covered his head.

"MONKEY!!!", giggled the shirt and wrapped tighter around Dib's head.

"Grf!", tried to speak Dib, "gef of me nowf! If can'f breaf!"

"You missed the slumba partee!", the SIR unit said, "I ate fluff cookies and played poker with some roaches friends… AND DANCED!!!".

"Gir!", said Dib in a gasp once he was able to free his face from the robot, "how did you got here? Gaz threw you out!"

"Through the magical portal!", said Gir and his turquoise eyes seemed to grow bigger.

"The window?", replied Dib lifting a brow and leaving Gir in the ground.

"Yeeesssss…", said Gir and plucked his tounge out, he smiled at Dib.

"Err…", the young paranormalist scratched his head, "… what time is it?". He looked to his night table, the wrist watch showed it was 10:36AM. "Come Gir", he said looking at the robot that was roming down his bed, "let's have breakfast… or… something".

"Okey dokey!", said Gir and showed more fluff spores to the human, "I'll make more fluff cookies!". The SIR unit giggled like a maniac and ran out Dib's room down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"This is going to be a very looooong day", sighed Dib and speeded up to stop Gir from destroying the kitchen.
