*~*~*~* Uh...The street? *~*~*~*
It was now early morning the sun just peeking over the horizon. A black haired boy, whom we all know as Dib, was running down the street panting. He fell onto the grass in his front yard and looked at the red star shining brightly in the sky. He couldn't just let Zim go to Irk and save his sister. He had to find some way to go to Irk without Zim knowing. Actually he may also be to get some awesome evidence that aliens do exist. Also by saving his sister he could become a hero. What a perfect plan!
He broke a grin despite the situation. He got up off the grass, and quietly opened the door to his house. He looked around, he didn't see anyone so he just waltzed right in. He flipped over the back of the couch and took a piece of paper off of the coffee table.
" What to bring?" Dib whispered as he chewed on the top of his pen.
About fifteen minutes later Dib had a partially complete list of things to bring to Irk. Also he packed a couple of items for his sister. She would need something to do once he rescued her.
" First things first." Dib whispered.
He went back outside and started to walk across the street. Looking to his right at Zim's house his stomach lurched and he froze in the middle of the road. On the doorstep was a large red stain. At that Dib ran to the house in front of him jumping into an open window. He fell right on top of P.I.R. whom yelped out in pain and ran up the stairs.
Dib got up and walked into the living room. He smiled as he looked at his only real friend sleeping on the couch on her side. He sat on the couch's arm nearest to her head. Taking a piece of her hair he twirled it between his fingers. He let go of her hair and attempted to wake her up.
" Dim...Dim wake up..." Dib whispered now on his knees in front of her.
She slowly opened an eye looked at him and closed it again. A second passed before both of her eyes popped open. She was about to scream so Dib quickly covered her mouth. He picked up her glasses off of the floor and put them on her face. He let go of her mouth letting her exhale.
" Oh Dib it's only you." Dim sat up and tightened her ponytail, " What's wrong with you? You look very distraught." Dim looked him straight in the eye.
" Well, Gaz kind of...uh...is.." Dib didn't even finish before he was interrupted by Dim.
" Oh that's right! You've come to say goodbye to me before you take off?" Dim smiled, " Don't bother taking the link cuffs to Irk." Dim glanced at P.I.R. who was playing with the contents in Dib's backpack, " They don't work on the Irkens. Cheapo stuff they make these days..."
Dib cocked an eyebrow, " How did you...?"
Dim held up an empty ice cream container, " Ice cream sure can set off a psychics mind can't it?"
Dib laughed, " Psycho psychic is more like it!"
" You say psycho like it's a bad thing!" Dim was laughing along with Dib, but stopped and looked away.
" What's wrong?" Dib asked her touching her shoulder.
" Nothing. Well, actually... It's just that I had some awful, more like, horrible visions. You must promise me that you'll be careful on Irk." Dim looked back at him and jumped into his arms, " Please promise me this?"
Dib hugged her back and started to hum, " When the visions around you, bring tears to your eyes, and all that surround you, are secrets and lies. I'll be your strength. I'll give you hope. Keeping your faith when it's gone. The one you should call was standing here all along."
Dim looked up at Dib and rested her head on his shoulder.
" And I will take you in my arms, and hold you right where you belong. 'Til the day my life is through, this I promise you. This I promise you."
Dib and Dim stood up and were still holding on to each other, yet they were almost you could say dancing.
" I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before. And I promise you never will you hurt anymore. I give you my word, I give you my heart. This is a battle we've won, and with this vow forever has now begun.
Just close your eyes each lovin' day, and know this feeling won't go away. 'Til the day my life is through, this I promise you. This I promise you."
Dib let go of Dim and took both of her hands in his own.
" Over and over I fall, when I hear you call. Without you in my life, baby. I just wouldn't be living at all."
Holding her once again Dib continued his song, " And I will take you in my arms, and hold you right where you belong. 'Til the day my life is through, this I promise you baby.
Just close your eyes each lovin' day, and know this feeling won't go away. Every word I say is true, this I promise you. Every word I say is true this I promise you. I promise you." Dib kissed her on the cheek and let go.
He picked up his backpack, walked to her door and left as Dim just stood there holding her cheek.
*~*~*~* Zim's lab *~*~*~*
Zim was looking through a flying manual as his leg was being worked on by his computer. Zim was partially excited about going to Irk and causing a bit of mishap. Oh, but his poor Gaz, what was going to happen to her? Zim had seen the way Red had looked at her. Right into Gaz's eyes, he never took his sight away from her eyes. I wonder if he might.... Zim's thought was interrupted by G.I.R. as he came down the trash can shoot.
" Master, what would you like to bring to Irk? So far I've packed lot's of cupcakes, some tuna, I even brought some yummy ice cream!"
Zim hit his forehead, " G.I.R., we're on a rescue mission remember?"
" Oh right! What does Gaz like to eat?" G.I.R. chimed.
" After what they might do to her I don't think she'll have much of an appetite." Zim mumbled.
" Poor Gaz...She spilt her catsup upstairs." G.I.R. suddenly remembered.
" Ketchup?" Zim replied a little confused at his remark.
" Ya'. Catsup all on da' floor. It's also outside on the pretty white stuff." G.I.R. waved his hands around trying to imitate falling snow.
" Oh, no G.I.R. that's not ketchup, it's..."
*^ " Your leg is healed." ^*
The computer arms zipped back into the ceiling of the lab as Zim jumped off of the table he had been on.
" Never mind." Zim said petting the confused S.I.R., " G.I.R., take your dog suit off. You don't need to wear a disguise on Irk."
" Yes Master!" G.I.R. saluted as he reached for the suits zipper.
Zim turned around and started to get together some things from around the lab to take to Irk. Zim walked by G.I.R. to get a bag. In the bag there was some green paint, red sunglasses, fake antennas, and an Irken costume. He figured that the only way he would get Gaz off of Irk would be to disguise her as an Irken. Walking back past G.I.R. he stopped to look at the unit. G.I.R. was ripping at his himself with his teeth, the costume still on.
" G.I.R., what's wrong with you?" Zim asked.
" Master, my zippers stuck in my hood. I can't get either one o..of...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" G.I.R. cried.
" Oh tallest." Zim said trying to undo the blasted zipper. He tried for at least ten minutes with no avail. It was no use the thing was stuck. " Oh well G.I.R., guess you're stuck as a dog for good." Zim shrugged his shoulders and opened up a cabinet.
" Yay!" G.I.R. squealed. ^.^
" G.I.R., be quiet I need to think!" Zim snapped.
In the cabinet there where a bunch of really old looking books. Yet on the top shelf there was a gold box. Zim reached up and took the box down. He looked at it for quite a long time. G.I.R. noticed this and became his purple color underneath his green dog covering.
" Master?" G.I.R. asked.
" Yes G.I.R.?" G.I.R. seemed intelligent enough.
" Is that the box? With the necklace?" G.I.R. asked jumping on his masters shoulder.
" Yeah. It's the other one." Zim reached into his shirt and pulled out a gold chain. On the end of the chain was a charm. The charm was blood red with a rainbow colored diamond in the middle. The charm was shaped like the Irken seal. Zim opened up the box to see the same thing inside. He flipped the charm over and touched it's smooth surface. He flipped his over to find his name carved into the back. 'Zim Kartajan'.
" When we all received these boxes I never thought that I would find someone else to wear it." Zim told G.I.R..
" Oh I get it!" G.I.R. smiled as his master started to engrave something onto the back of the other necklace.
*~*~*~* Zim's attic *~*~*~*
" Wow...." Dib's jaw dropped as he looked at the voot runner in front of him, " This is SO cool."
A door slammed open sending Dib fleeing like a deer. Dib was behind a box his denim backpack slamming against his back. Out of the doorway came none other than Zim and G.I.R.. Zim was holding a backpack in one hand G.I.R. holding a stuffed pig. Zim touched the voot runner and the top popped open. He got in it G.I.R. sitting next to him. Zim was looking at some buttons well Dib took his time to get in the voot runner. Dib ran to the back and started to look for an opening. Dib felt and looked around for a long time before he finally found one. He opened it and climbed inside. To his pleasure he realized that he had discovered a little compartment to himself.
In the front of the voot runner Zim had started up the engine.
" All systems go! G.I.R. are new mission starts now! Let us rain some doom down upon the Irkens filthy doomed heads! Irk sweet Irk here we come!"
The voot runner started to shake violently as the roof opened up.
" Sweet!" Dib grinned wickedly.
The ship took off very, very fast. Zim, Dib, and G.I.R. were already off of Earth.
" Bye, bye, bye Earth!" Zim cheered.
" Goodbye Earth and have a lovely Christmas eve and Hanukkah without alien threat!" Dib yelled.
" I'm gonna' sing the rescue song now!" G.I.R. squealed.
" Let's not and say we did." Zim protested.
" Hit it Zim!" G.I.R. laughed.
" Fine. If you're tumbling down and your spirits fall helps on the way we hear your call, your call."
G.I.R. then took his turn, " On a mission we're united as one friends forever, yeah, here we come!"
" In no time we'll be at your side. We're a team on a roller coaster ride!"
" Each one of us knows just what to do never gonna' stop, gonna' stop searching for you!"
" For you! Baby listen to me, searching for you. We're gonna' set you free..."
They all sang together, " Coming to the rescue! Get there in a hurry. Rescue. Baby don't you worry. Rescue. This adventures heatin' up..."
Zim sang, "...I'll rescue you and if I do you gotta' rescue me! So if your lost one thing is true, never gonna stop looking for you."
" Your not alone so have no doubt we'll put our heads together gonna' figure it out, oh!"
" Baby, listen to me, gonna', gonna' set you free..."
