Crouched in front of the passed out Zim and lying next to the green alien was Gir who was curled up into a tight ball of cuteness.
Ellie lazily tilted her head at the weird disguise he was wearing.
She was honestly surprised to find the little alien out and about this far in the city and thinking back to the parent teacher night incident, it's been a while since she had really seen or talked to him. Now a days the moment class would end Zim would be one of the first out of the class room with Dib chasing him and tho Keef was a tad bummed out about it, Ellie was at least there to keep him company in the irken's absence.
While dazed out her hand unconsciously reached out to shack the sleeping boy.
Ellie snapped back into reality to find her small wrist in an iron grip with an angry Zim glaring at her.
"Oh, your up," She commented only to receive a sneer in reply
"What do you what with the Almighty Zim?!" He screeched.
Releasing her wrist, Zim hurriedly shook Gir who upon waking up with the sight of the girl from before squealed."Pretty lady!"Ellie felt the wind knocked out of her at the feeling of the small green dog tacking her to the ground."Pretty lady! PRETTY LADY!!!"
Unlike Zim who tried prying Gir away, Ellie didn't bother. "Are you guys lost?"
"Lost?Lost?The Almighty Zim is not lost!"
Gir sniffled, "Yes."
If looks could kill, Gir would have been reduced to recycled scraps.
"Do you need help?" "NO!" Ellie leveled Zim with a stare. He refused to squirm as the seconds ticked on.
"Okay."
He blinked as the child stood, Gir clinging to her waist like a monkey and patting the robot on the head Gir released his grip and plopped to the side walk. His classmate yawned, "Since you don't need my help, I'll be on my way..." She only took ten steps before the sound of hurried foot steps quickly followed after. She didn't bother looking back because she already knew who they belong to, if the angry muttering of'inferior hyooman' was something to go by.
"Hey Ellie-Worm-Baby?" Zim's voice was filled with suspicion. "Just why areyouin the city? WHERE YOU FOOLING ZIM?!"
Her response was a flat "No."
Ignoring the accusations thrown her way by said classmate, she shoved her hands deep in her oversize hoodie, Ellie tuned a corner and caught sight of a figure of someone dressed similarly to Zim leaving a bank and judging by the obvious bag of cash in hand she already knew what was up. The next thing Zim knew Ellie had removed his Hat and itchy beard without asking.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!"
"You look the same either way Zim," She quirked her head in the direction of the figure hurriedly leaving the crowd. "It's not fooling anyone."
He glared at her, contemplating on his options before shoving the offending pieces into his coat with a huff.
Later they reached a park with various people performing for money. Zim made it a point to avoid one of the performers with Bees on his face and the irken was about to interrogate the child when they were met up with a frail old woman who was seated by the many benches feeding a few pigeons.
"Nana?" Ellie tugged on the dress of the old woman, "My classmate got lost, can he come back with us?"
The old woman studied the boy for a moment and Zim was on guard before when the elderly smiled. "Of course sweetie, you must be the Zim Ellie was telling me about"
Ellie had indeed told Nana about her "little green classmate who was always screaming world domination."
Zim lived up to his reputation and screeched while Gir began to cling onto her Nana and Ellie felt a head ace coming on.
