...
Dib, Zim and Gir rode through the tube at top speed. Zipping all through the inside of the Mothership and to their destination. Finally, they landed on their feet and began to walk down the long, dark narrow hallway to Gaz. The edges of the hallway were lit with red lights, giving the hallway a sinister look. All the sudden, they noticed two alien video cameras in the upper right and left corners of the hallway. They were shocking white and their eyes darted in all directions.
Zim grabbed Dib by the collar and pulled him away before the cameras saw him. He shushed Dib before he could yell at him and silently pointed to the cameras. Dib understood and nodded. "How do we get past them then?" he asked in a whisper. Zim thought for a minute. His eyes gradually looked down at the helmet in his hands. He placed it back on his head and pulled the visor down. He pushed a button, and the visor tinted itself to black so Dib wasnt able to see his face.
Dib copied and they began to casually walk pass the security cameras. Gir followed right behind them in his somewhat tattered green dog costume. When they were past them, they sighed with relief and lifted their visors from their faces.
It wasn't long before they found themselves at the end of the hallway at a huge metal door decorated with glowing purple Irken symbols.
Near the top of the door was a window so you could peek in and see what was going on inside. Zim went up on his tiptoes and peeked inside. Gaz was inside, inside a glass prison. She sat on the ground and stared down at the white ground, so Zim was unable to tell if she was ok. He went back down and turned his head to Dib. "She's in there," he said.
Dib nodded and then tried opening the door. He grunted in frustration. "Its locked," he said angrily. Zim shook his head. "No, you just need to know how to open it," he said. He examined the glowing Irken symbols. He placed his left hand on one symbol, and his right on another one and pushed. He pulled his hand back, just as he heard a click. The door went down and disappeared into the floor.
Zim, Dib and Gir walked inside. Dib jogged up to the glass and lightly tapped on it with his gloved index finger. Gaz looked up. Dib waved. Gaz stared at him, then over to where Zim was. Zim was at. Zim was at the small control center box where you controlled the glass prison. He pushed a couple of strange buttons. The glass prison evaporated away. Dib smiled and ran up to his sister. He helped her up and hugged her. Gaz shoved Dib away. "Don't push your luck," she said. Dib didnt stop smiling. He was just happy to have his sister back. Zim smiled and began to walk up to her. "Gaz," he said with a smile on his face.
Gaz ignored him and walked right past him. "Gaz," said Zim, feeling a bit hurt as he walked up to her. He slowly realized why she was upset at him. Gaz stopped as she felt Zim's gloved hand rest on her shoulder. "I'm sorry, Gaz. I really am...you need to understand-" "No! You need to understand!" yelled Gaz as she turned her head to face Zim. Zim's magenta eyes widened and he took a step back from her. Gaz snarled. "I thought you were through with trying to take over Earth! Earth is my home! It's not yours to invade! I thought you changed Zim!" Gaz turned her head away as she felt tears come down her face. "I thought you changed..." she whispered.
Zim felt as if he was punched in the stomach. He stared at Gaz. "Gaz..." said Zim, his voice faltered and he looked away. "I have changed...I didnt try to take over Earth for myself this time...I tried taking over the world...for you...I did it all...for you..." he whispered softly, then lowered his head in shame. He failed.
Dib watched the whole thing. He begen to feel horrible for Zim. Zim really had changed, and has grown human emotions. Emotions that have evolved in him for some time now, and now, he has found his feelings going toward Gaz. Dib slowly walked up to his sister and touched her shoulder. "Dont be mad at Zim, Gaz. He was just wanting to impress you," he said, trying to help Zim. Gaz lifted her head a bit. She wiped her eyes with the back of her sleeve. Dib continued.
"He really likes you...it took me a while to finally figure it out but...you two like each other...dont punch me for saying that," he added and gave a small smirk. Gaz smiled a small smile from behind her amythest colored hair. She sighed and placed her hands into her pockets. As she did, she felt something. She pulled the object out from her right pocket and stared down at it.
It was Game Slave 3. The game that has not even been invented yet, but somehow, Zim was able to get it and give it to her...Gaz ran her fingers over the surface of the brand new game. She felt tears come to her eyes. She wiped them away again. Finally she looked up and turned her head to Zim.
Zim lifted his head back up to Gaz and stared at her with guilt and sadness. Gaz stared back at him. Gradually, her mouth curled up into a smile. Zim continued to stare at her. His eyes flickered down to what she had in her hands. Game Slave 3. His eyes slowly trailed back up to Gaz's chocolate brown eyes. He all the sudden felt himself blushing when he saw her smiling at him. Gradually, his mouth turned into a smile.
He slowly approached Gaz and wrapped his long arms around Gaz's waist and pulled her close to him. Gaz wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her in an embrace. Gaz pressed her head against Zim's chest and listened to one of his strange organs thump loudly inside. Zim nuzzled his green face into Gaz's violet colored hair and closed his eyes. He smiled warmly. He was so happy to have Gaz in his arms once again.
"Aaaaawwwwww!" said Gir as he stared at them. He smiled and came running up to them and wrapped his robotic arms around Gaz and Zim's legs. Gaz and Zim opened their eyes and looked down at the twelve inch tall robot. Their eyes gradually looked up and found Dib awkwardly standing there as he stared st them. They blushed and began to move away from each other, but couldnt because of Gir. Dib waved his hand.
"Come on Gir, let's leave these two alone," he said with a small smile on his face. Gir opened his eyes and turned to Dib. "Aw, but I want to stay here," he said and gave Dib a sad look. Dib gave Gir a look. Gir looked up at Zim. Zim stared down at Gir, and silently pointed to Dib, telling the robot to do what Dib wanted. Gir stopped hugging, took a step back and saluted his master before running off after Dib, out of the white room.
Gaz wiped her tears from her face. Zim smiled a bit and lightly ran his gloved thumb under her eyes where the tears were coming down. Gaz lifted her head up to him and smiled a small smile. "I was afraid that you wouldn't come..." Gaz admitted. Zim shook his head. His sharp, black antennae twitched. "I would never do that...I will always be there for you..." he said. Gaz stared up at his magenta colored eyes. She saw her reflection in them.
Zim stared back and found himself mesmerized to her rich, dark chocklate brown eyes. He felt strange emotions flowing through him, but he didnt care. They made him feel great. He pulled Gaz closer to him. Her chest presed up against his. He slowly reached up and removed a strand of dark plum colored hair from Gaz's pale face and smiled, revealing his light colored zipper teeth.
All the sudden, the lights inside began to flash on and off. Gaz and Zim turned to the door, just as Dib appeared. His eyes were wide. "We've got company," he said. Gir appeared next to his feet. "Yaaaayyy!"
