Ch. 25
"What's taking so long!?" Dib ranted pacing back and forth; Gir was still unresponsive, standing there red in duty mode. Gaz lay on her back still playing her game, completely ignoring her irritated brother. Dib clenched his hands into fists quickening his pace
"Come on! This is not fair! We have every right to be in there with Zim! He needs us!" Gaz groaned sitting up ready to kill him, when the doors finally opened. Dib quickly halted in his tracks as the tallest and Zim walked out into the hallway.
And he felt his heart immediately stop when he laid his eyes on Zim. He looked so beautiful. And Dib couldn't look away; he stared at Zim's lovely figure and flawless skin, his eyes shinier than ever.
But then Dib remembered why he was probably dressed like that and felt like someone drenched him in ice water. So Dib clenched his fists and looked away. Gir finally grinned happily and ran to his master turning blue once more. Zim looked down unsurprised to see Gir hugging his leg giggling happily.
Red glanced at Dib and Gaz as though he forgot they were here, and spoke up a deep concern he had "Zim I don't think it was a good idea to bring two humans here." Zim looked up at him having been expecting this but said nothing, while Purple motioned over to Dib and Gaz "The Ondskan's will not tolerate two humans here."
Zim nodded pulling out two rings from his PAK "I expected such my Tallest, and came prepared." He didn't give them a chance to respond as he swiftly approached Dib and Gaz and held out the rings. Dib shook his head trying not to let on to how he felt at the moment, knowing it would only upset Zim; so he took the ring from Zim asked "what's this?"
Gaz did the same, standing up. Zim put his arms behind his back responding in a tone that left no room for argument. "the only way you'll be able to stay." Dib was very hesitant, but upon seeing the almost pleading look in Zim's eyes. He put the ring on.
"Sweet." Gaz said, actually impressed as she looked down at herself. While Dib let out a girlish scream "What the hell!?" for they both now looked like an Irken! Dib looked down at his now thinner, yet still fit body.
In a mix of horror and amazement, he donned an Irken blue and black servant type uniform, with a few key aspects similar to Zim's outfit. That showed he was Zim's servant; he looked at his three fingered gloved hands in awe. He had large hazel eyes, long scythe style antennas, and a narrow chin. Dib flicked his antennas all over the place not being able to believe this "oh my god! Oh my god!" he exclaimed clenching his teeth.
Gaz who donned a purple and black Irken servant uniform, had large dark purple eye's, thick eyelashes, long curly antennas, and a full figure; punched his arm, "Oh calm down Dib! What did you expect dummy?!" Zim thought dib looked rather dashing as an Irken, but preferred him as a human.
Not wanting to stare Zim stepped back as Red nodded impressed "Wow, I'm impressed Zim." Purple agreed with wide childlike eye's, "me too!" Red continued crossing his arms "alright then they'll stay on as your personal servants."
Zim nodded with a smile ignoring Gir, who was pulling on his arm to get his attention, "You can relax in the conference room for a while Zim. The Ondskan's should be here sometime soon, of course we will come for you when they arrive, and we are having dinner tonight." Red explained, Purple quickly took over
"We're having your personal quarters prepared, if you need anything just snap your fingers and a dozen servants will be at you command." Being able to tell Zim was slightly confused at that chunk of information, which he was as Zim cocked a non-existent brow;
Red paused for a moment before he elaborated waving his hand as though it were obvious "You're the descendent of Myukie Zim. You are betrothed to the Prince of the Ondskan's, soon to two of you will rule over both planets."
Red paused as Zim nodded slowly, still not used to this sort of treatment; Dib and Gaz exchanged a look, Gaz looked unfazed while Dib was in awe, he knew Zim was important in his role, but…wow. Ruler over two planets!? That was impressive and it only made Dib more insecure.
Zim nodded again as Red finished, as though he didn't dare speak "You best get used to the attention Zim." With that they walked off, no doubt to check how preparations for dinner tonight where going. Zim let out a breath and led Dib and Gaz back into the conference room. "Master pretty!" Gir exclaimed hugging Zim around the neck.
Zim chuckled patting Gir on the head, "Thank you Gir." Gaz looked Zim over quickly and placed both hands on her hips and sneered cockily "what's with the dress?" Zim flinched noticeably and growled picking up the back of his garment so he could sit down
"it is not a dress!" Gaz cocked an eyebrow with an amused smirk "Then what would you call it?" Zim crossed his leg grimacing at the amount of skin that was showing "it's a garment!" Gaz rolled her eyes with a scoff "Yeah alright Zim!"
Zim frowned but thought best not to argue with the scary sister of the Dib. Zim vaguely noticed how detached and distance Dib seemed as Gaz continued plopping down on one of the couch's
"I hope you realize Zim that I am no one servant!" Zim smiled at that gently patting Gir on the head as the affectionate robot curled up next to him "Of course." Gaz let out a grunt of satisfaction and flipped open her game station.
Zim continued to pet Gir while he watched Dib intently; dib was wandering around the room only halfheartedly looking at all the unfamiliar things. Frowning Zim patted the couch next to him "Please, Sit Dib.'
Dib looked up, nodded silently and sat next to Zim. The two sat in awkward silence for a moment before Zim broke the ice "What's on your mind?" he would have asked, what's wrong? But that seemed a bit foolish.
Dib sighed deeply leaning forward slightly "You don't have to do this Zim." Zim shook his head; he knew this conversation was coming. "I told you before Dib. I do not have a choice."
Dib smacked his leg in frustration snapping his head up to look at Zim "You keep saying that Zim! But you do have a choice! Don't get married! Come back to Earth with me while there's still time! Let's just go! Now! I thought you loved me!" Zim looked down silent for a moment.
Looking back up Zim wasn't about to back down and whispered "I'm not going to have this conversation with you Dib. I have already explained the details, and Zim does not repeat himself. You can be supportive, or you can leave me alone."
Dib pulled back at his tone, feeling his new antennas droop in sorrow. He didn't mean to upset Zim, But Dib was whiling to do anything to keep him.
"It's just hard Zim. I love you, and I can't lose you…it's just not fair." Zim softened up at this and inched closer to him, reaching out Zim took Dibs hand and whispered in a gentler tone "Zim is sorry dib. I do love you…but, what can Zim do?"
Zim paused studding the heartbroken look in Dib's eyes, and what hurt was that Zim was powerless to stop it. Gently hugging Dib, Zim cooed "Let's just make the most of the time we have left. And never forget what we mean to each other."
Dib wanted to argue, but it was pointless…because as much as it still hurt so much, he was right.
A/N: oh no! Poor Dib! All is lost! Hehe! I know I'm terrible! Anyway! Updates come out quicker, the more updates I get! XD Hope you enjoyed!
