Ch. 37

Zim paused at the counter in front of the menu board. It was quiet. Looking around he noticed that no customers or even workers where around at the time. 'They must be out back having a company meeting.'

Zim thought remembering clearly all those very long and very boring meetings Sizz-Lorr would hold. To update the menu, change the way things where cooked, and to yell at the workers.

Running a hand over the familiar counter Zim thought of all the memories he had in this restaurant, and how none of them where happy. Letting out a breath Zim looked over his shoulder and shook his head, noticing how Dib had fallen asleep at the booth.

A bit of guilt mixed with humor, Zim thought trying hard not to let the vast sea of memories over whelm him 'I suppose Dib will be sitting this out then.'

Swallowing his fears he swallowed hard and called out "Hello?! I demand assistance!" putting his hands on his hips Zim narrowed his gaze to the employee only sign on the door that, he knew from experience, led to the break room and office, when Sizz- Lorr's voice boomed from that direction "Were not open yet! Get out!"

Pursing his lips Zim jumped over the counter and knocked loudly on the door. Immediately Sizz-Loor shouted again "Are you deaf!? I said were closed!"

Lowering his antennas in irritation Zim nodded again more forcefully. There was no way he was going to put up with being told to get lost. This was far too important. Inwardly smirking Zim could clearly hear loud banging and shouting coming from inside as his former boss swore loudly

"Frettnibult! Mindless food drones have absolutely no respe-" wrenching the door open Sizz-loor immediately stopped what he was saying, his expression went from anger to shock in a heartbeat.

Cocking a non-existent brow Zim crossed his arms over his chest, "Hello Sizz-lorr." Trying his best to ignore the pang of mixed emotions in his chest as Sizz-lorr began stammering "My-My-My lord Zim! I apologize I had no idea it was you!"

Zim didn't respond as he could clearly see and hear that Sizz-lorr was suffering the same wave of emotions, anger and trying his best to show proper respect.

Rubbing the back of his neck Sizz-lorr continued "If I had known you were going to grace me with your presence…I…Of course! Would have made proper accommodations for you my lord!" Holding up a hand Zim was shocked that Sizz-lorr obeyed him and fell silent, but he couldn't miss the glint of fury in his former boss's eyes.

Letting out a sigh Zim kept repeating to himself that this was important. They had to clear the air between them, and motioned behind Sizz-lorr "May we talk…in private?"

Sizz-lorr nodded quickly stepping back to allow Zim to enter the familiar scrubbed, with a hint of grease, break room. "Of course my lord of course!" Glad there were no employee's in at the time Zim slowly walked inside.

Feeling eye's on him as he ran a finger over the dining table, rubbing his fingers together Zim turned around to face Sizz-lorr, who had his fists clenched yet still looked a bit intimidated. 'right…I am technically royalty…and I am a bit taller than him.'

Zim thought vaguely "Perhaps your office would be a better place to discuss certain…issues." Jumping slightly Sizz-lorr nodded again and led the way into his office "Of course my lord!"

Pulling out a soft chair for Zim, Sizz-lorr motioned for him to sit down before he sat in his own chair behind his rather cluttered desk. "So what is it I can…do for you my lord?" Sizz-lorr asked visibly struggling with the words 'my lord.'

Crossing a leg Zim took a deep breath trying his best not to glare at the familiar irken in front of him. He had to remember that what happened was not Sizz-lorr's fault. He, like Zim, was merely a victim of circumstance.

"I realize that there is quiet ill air between us, and if I am to become ruler of our species Zim wants to start with a clean slate, before I begin with my new responsibilities. And as the hideous earthaniods would say we have unfinished business."

Sizz-lorr nodded stiffly as though he very much wanted to yell, scream, and possibly attack Zim. Not at all intimidated Zim continued, this was something he knew he had to do "I just wanted to apologize to you Sizz-lorr. I should not have left the way I did, and especially not during the great foodening. It was childish and cruel.

To leave you without assistance, Zim can only imagine how terrible that must have been for you. And there is no excuse for my behavior; all I can say is that I am sorry."

Sizz-lorr didn't respond, he linked his fingers together as his glare deepened even more at the mention of that touchy subject. To the point where it almost scared Zim…almost, maintaining eye contact Zim continued "during that time though it was particularly hard.

Yes I was carrying out a banishment, but it was a completely improper punishment for something that Zim had nothing to do with…I was…a victim of a Ondskan attack and hacked to carry out a destructive plight and was un-justicely punished for it."

Zim paused looking away from Sizz-lorr, whose expression was unreadable "I have absolutely no recollection of that time…what I did…what they did to me…so naturally Zim would not sit still and take the punishment I did not deserve.

But doing so caused pain to you…and I am regretful and am sorry." Believing to have said enough Zim fell silent, waiting on pins and needles for Sizz-lorr's response.

When a few minutes passed and still the fry lord had said nothing Zim waved a hard at him "So…what do you think?" Sizz-lorr swallowed hard, and Zim saw how he didn't look him in the eye when he finally said "An…an…An apology is not necessary my l-lord! I could never think any ill will towards you! Not at all!"

Seeing clear through his rouse Zim rolled his eyes, and gently closed the door behind him so that no workers would hear what Zim had to say "Sizz-lorr I am not daft. I know you are furious. Talk to me."

Sizz-lorr was looking at everything but Zim as he struggled speaking "But I am not. I could never be furious with you my lord! You are gracious…and…k-k-kind. Mag…magnificent even." Rubbing his fore head Zim finally ordered, annoyed beyond reason "Sizz-lorr! I am ordering you to speak your mind!"

Flinching in place Sizz-lorr finally looked Zim square in the eyes, confused and scared of the thought as he whispered leaning forward "Is…is that allowed?"

Shrugging Zim shifted in his seat, he wasn't sure. But honestly Zim didn't really care what the rules where. He was going to allow it whether his fiancé liked it or not. "Zim does not care, I am allowing It." nodding briefly Sizz-lorr looked away as he absorbed this information, before he took in a breath, and looked back at Zim.

Gaze darkening, Sizz-lorr whispered out in a dangerous tone "Your sorry? You are sorry? How dare you?"

Scooting his chair back a little Zim nodded truthfully but said nothing. Slamming a fist down on his desk Sizz-lorr literally shook the whole room as he bellowed "You left me here! ALONE! For not just one! But TWO foodenings! With no help!

FOR FORTY YEARS! And you expect me to buy the fact that you're SORRY! YOU!? SORRY! HA! If you were not royalty Zim I would destroy you! There is nothing you can say to fix the damage you caused! I can't even stand the sight of you! I don't even want YOU in MY store! But I don't have a choice because YOU'RE ROYALTY!"

Zim would never admit it, but he was scared by this point. Sizz-lorr was a very large and intimidating Irken, as he shouted completely going horse as spit flew from his mouth, and veins popped up in his head "I lost out on my once chance to take a vacation! Because of you! Now I won't get one for another eighty years! I'll be stuck here!

And it all YOUR FAULT! I CAN'T STAND YOU ZIM! YOU DISGUST ME!"

With that said Sizz-lorr finally fell silent, panting hard as he whipped at his mouth. Taking a moment to process what was just said Zim nodded and let out a sigh "I know."
