Ch. 38

Red rubbed his arm feeling Zik's furious glare full on him. This was not good. With everything going on he completely forgot to tell Zim that he had to go and ask Zik if it was alright for him to leave and take care of the catering.

Since Zim belonged to Zik now it was imperative that he asked for permission before doing even the simplest thing. Feeling a tinge of guilt Red quickly responded before the prince got to upset "Well…um…he thought…I did-"

Zik cut him off with a disgusted grunt "Your completely useless, and where is the other one?!" not allowing himself to flinch Red ignored the insult and shouted over his shoulder "PURPLE! GET OVER HERE!"

In record speed Purple was by Red's side, panting noticeably and bowing over and over again as he stammered in fear "My sincerest apologies prince Zik! Very, very deeply sorry! I didn't know you came in! and I was just…um…I'm sorry!"

Zik held up a hand to silence them, Purple took a small step behind Red shaking noticeably as the prince growled dangerously "I don't care what you were doing. When I walk into a room I want you to bow! And ignore what you were doing! Nothing is more important than me, do you understand you ignorant, incompetent Irken fool! Now I will not ask again. Where is Zim?"

Purple let out a soft "Meep!" while Red crossed his arms behind his back digging his claws into his own arms, forcing himself to swallow his pride Red answered much more calmly than he actually felt "He is on foodcourtia handling the catering I woke him up this morning and told him what he was expected to do. I am not sure when he will be back, but he did take his servant with him."

Purple slowly inched more behind Red getting more frightened by the look on Zik's face as the prince growled sarcastically.

"So you two rank higher than I do hmm? I was not aware of that! I must have missed the memo. When did that happen?" Zik ranted briefly, visibly very angry and not quiet knowing how to respond Red opened and closed his mouth several times.

Purple tapped red on the shoulder confused "Yeah! When did that happen Red!?" Elbowing Purple in the stomach Red hissed in disgust "Shut up Purple!" before he turned back to the prince "I am sorry my prince, he's a bit of an idiot."

The prince crossed his arms looking down his nose at them "I suppose you would know." Red slowly closed his mouth into a fine line, as the prince continued "I can't really be angry at you two mindless figure heads. It's not like you actually accomplish anything unless it's emptying a donut case."

Purple slowly grabbed onto red's arms, being sure to be unnoticed. When Red got mad there was no telling what he would do. And purple would rather not see him get killed for an outburst.

"But Zim…he should have known better, then to just gallivant around town doing whatever he likes when he likes." Red gnawed on his lip heart going out to Zim. This prince was so disrespectful, vial and disgusting.

It just wasn't fair that Zim would have to marry this Ondskan filth! The Prince glared at the Tallest as Red finally said "My Prince I can assure you that Zim is trying his very best to please you and means no disrespect to you at all."

Zik placed his hands on his hips and sneered "When I want the opinion of a moron I'll call for you." Purple tightened his grip on Red who lowered his antennas in rage. Of course Purple was insulted as well, but they could not act upon it.

No matter how badly they wanted to. Red opened his mouth to retort but was luckily cut off by a loud announcement over the intercom, before he could say something stupid.

This just in! Lord Zim was sighted on food courtia earlier fleeing for his life as mobs of people chased him down the streets in a complete euphoric frenzy! Sources say that he has retreated into one of our many restaurants! So come now before he can get away for your chance at meeting in person the one the only lord Zim! And on your way don't miss out on all our new I just met lord Zim deals!

Letting out a hiss the tallest exchanged looks forgetting about their anger instantly, the prince seemed to smirk apparently thinking it served him right. But what the three didn't know was that a certain robot had too heard the announcement and immediately took off to rectify it.

Zim sat for what felt like the longest time in silence. He could feel Sizz-lorr's studying gaze on him, and wasn't bothered in the least by it. of course Zim saw this coming. He couldn't expect Sizz-lorr to just accept his apology just like that.

But his anger had still taken Zim by surprise. "I completely understand your anger towards me Sizz-lorr," he began shifting in his seat to look at the fry lord, who was studying Zim in a mix of anger, disgust, and curiosity.

"Zim appreciates your brutal honesty. And he is fully prepared to takes steps towards rectifying certain wrongs, with the hope that in time we will be on better terms with each other." Zim was scared, and it showed clearly.

Whenever he got excited, whether it be angry, sad, or intimidated he had the tendency to switch to speaking in third person. Sizz-lorr seemed to be able to know this, for his facial expression became a lot more open to listening to him.

Fiddling with the hem of his garment Zim continued with an air of confidence "So I came to tell you that I want you to cater my wedding." With that simple sentence Sizz-lorr deflated completely, his eyes going wide as the anger seemed to wash away. He opened his mouth to respond but Zim cut him off with a smile, he wasn't done yet.

"After the wedding I will be sending you on a full expense paid vacation to a destination of your choice. And while you are gone I will have a team of workers in your restaurant completely renovating it with the latest technology and cookware."

Sizz-lorr sat jaw dropped in complete shock. Zim smirked he was hopping for that reaction. "Just think Sizz-lorr, when you cater my wedding you will have the opportunity to finally be discovered for the culinary artisan you really are.

And that will bring in a completely different cliental. So with the profit you will make that means a fresh batch of professional workers. And you can finally have more time to yourself…to…do whatever you want."

Having thought he made his point Zim sat back smirking cockily "How's that for making amends? Still angry with Zim?" Sizz-lorr opened and closed his mouth several times. Not knowing what to say and taken by complete surprise.

"W-w-w-well…I-I…that's so generous of you my lord! I…um…Thank you! Thank you so much my-" Holding up a hand Zim sat forward cutting him off "Please Sizz-lorr. Call me Zim."

Smiling genuinely Sizz-lorr replied no longer holding a hint of anger in his eyes or tone. "Thank you…Zim."
