Chapter 10 'Irk sweet Irk'

Disclaimer: All the same people that were in the previous chapter except this time Alanis Morissette. Zem is my character. Roman Dirge too.

Authors note: Hi again people! Here is my next chapter! Wow, we knew that already. A quick little bit of info, the girl, Zem, in this story has a whole story to herself it's just not on this website. She is me. VERY very much like me. I think that the only difference is that I don't have dark blue hair. Dim is my friend. So in this story Dim and Zem are very close friends! Just like Dim and I! OK bye!

*~*~*~* Dim's house *~*~*~*

Dim was definitely awake as she danced around the house. Her parents had gone to see her Grandparents for Christmas so she had chosen to stay home. Her long blonde ponytail was bouncing up and down as she jumped. She fell onto the couch and crossed her hands behind her head. She thought about how Dib had gone to Irk. Why had he gone? I mean it was dangerous to go walking onto another planet when they wanted to declare war onto your whole species.

Yet Gaz was on that planet and she was his sister. His only sister and probably the only sister he would ever have. She was in much more danger than Dib would be in since he was with Zim whom was Irken. She seriously doubted that Dib was going to save her too. I mean Zim was the one who went in the first place and probably had equipment to save her with. Oh well at least he hadn't left without a sweet goodbye!

" P.I.R.! P.I.R. come out girl!" Dim whistled, " P.I.R.?"

Dim got up and started to look for her cat. She had found P.I.R. in a dumpster when she was very young. P.I.R. loved to eat and terrorize peeps, she also loved to play with Zim's dog G.I.R.. Those two got along great.

" Oh no!" Dim cried out.

The last time she had soon P.I.R. was when P.I.R. had been playing in Dib's backpack.

" Oh in heavens name! P.I.R. is on her way to Irk!" Dim cried, " Oh well, she's with Dib I'm sure that when Dib finds her he'll take care of her for me. I know him."

She skipped out of the kitchen and back into the living room. She sat down on her stairwell and thought of something to keep her brain working,

" Wouldn't it be ironic if Zim and Dib found Gaz and she was being treated like a queen? Scratch that....What if she was a queen!?" Dim laughed.

She stood up and started to walk up the stairs she had been sitting on. After walking up two flights of stairs she found herself in a little room. In this room there were two bookshelves and a computer. Three doors where also stationed around. The one in front of her was a bathroom. Then the two on her right were bedrooms. She walked into the one closest to her, which was her room.

Her doorway had those hanging string things in it. They where decorated with stars and moons. She pushed them aside and walked into her room. She sat down on her bed and pulled a guitar out from underneath the bed. She took the guitar out of it's case and took out the pick. She stroked all of the strings to get the thing warmed up. Just because she was dark it didn't mean that she had to be silent all the time. In fact she loved to sing and write music. Smiling she started to play a song on the spot, which she was also making up as she went.

" Hey yeah, yeah, yeah, wha, ha, yeah, yeah. An old man turned ninety eight, he won the lottery, and died the next day. It's a black fly in your Chardone. It's a death row pardon, two minutes too late. And isn't it ironic? Don't cha' think?"

She stood up and popped a percussion track into her CD player. She jumped on her bed and continued.

" It's like radiate, under what it may. It's a free ride, when your already late. It's the good advice, that you just can't take. And who would have thought? It figures."

Jumping off of the bed, still playing her guitar, she ran down the stairs into her living room.

" Mr. Play-it-safe, was afraid to fly. He packed his suitcase, kissed his kids goodbye. He waited his whole damn life, to take that flight, and as the plane crashed down he thought, ' Well isn't this nice?'. And isn't it ironic? Don't cha' think?"

She jumped onto her footstool.

" It's like radiate, under what it may. It's a free ride, when your already late. It's the good advice, that you just can't take. And who would have thought? It figures."

She ran through the kitchen and onto her kitchen table.

" Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you when you think everything's OK, and everything's gone right. Life has a funny way of giving you hope when you think everything's gone wrong, and everything blows up in your face."

Getting off the table she ran through her computer room downstairs and outside. She got onto the deck of her pool.

" A traffic jam, when your already late. A no smoking sign, on your cigarette break. It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. It's meeting the man of my dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife. And isn't it ironic? Don't cha' think? A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think."

Dim turned around to leave the pool deck, but had a whim. She ran and jumped off the edge of the pool's deck onto a floating boogie board in the water.

" It's like radiate, under what it may. It's a free ride, when your already late. It's the good advice, that you just can't take. And who would have thought? It figures."

Dim threw the guitar over the pool's railing and jumped off of the board. She landed in the water and floated on her back.

" Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you. Life is a funny, funny way of helping you out. Helping you out."

She dived to the bottom of the pool, touched the floor, and swam to the ladder. She climbed out and looked at her soaking wet pajamas. She got off of the pool's deck and picked up her guitar. Then she went back inside.

*~*~*~* Half an hour later *~*~*~*

Dim was all dressed and had dried her hair out. It was now 5:30 in the morning, Christmas eve.

" Time for breakfast!" Dim yelled running to the kitchen.

She opened up a cabinet, spilling the contents everywhere.

" Rice, Count Cocofang cereal, lettuce..." She stuck out her tongue and made her way over to the freezer, " Tofu, celery, eggs...?! YUCK! ARE THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO KILL ME!? Dim's a vegetarian. Oh yes! Pistachio ice cream! And it's soy!" She grabbed the container and danced to a cabinet door. Opening the door she pulled out a spoon. Pulling of the cover to the ice cream container she threw the cover out of the window and ran to the living room.

*~*~*~* Two hours later *~*~*~*

What ever happens to Dim when she eats pistachio ice cream, it's bad. Dim had finished the whole container and was running around the house a little nuts. Her eyes looked like Lenore's, all spiral with black patches underneath. Her hair was dyed black, permanently, and was on end.

" He he...Pistachio...." She laughed psychotically.

All of a sudden Dim disappeared. She had teleported out of the house.

*~*~*~* A HUGE purple house full of immigrants *~*~*~*

Dim appeared in the center of a large room. In the room she saw a bed. In the bed she her blue haired best buddie. She was sleeping and totally oblivious that her friend was there.

" Oh...It's Zem!...he, he...." Dim whispered.

Dim bent over the girl and took out a water balloon. Dropping it on Zem's head. Zem yelled out and looked around. No-one was there.

" Must be imaginging thingies." Zem whispered to herself in her Italian accent. She went back to sleep.

*~*~*~* Dr. Membrane's lab *~*~*~*

Dim appeared in the middle of the lab full of lots of scientific equipment.

" Oh! Pretty vile....!!"

You can only imagine.....

*~*~*~* Zim's lab *~*~*~*

Dim appeared right in the center of the large laboratory. She grinned wickedly and ran to the teleporter. She looked at all of the buttons till she found a metallic teal one.

" Oh! Pretty button." Dim pushed the button into the socket.

The floor started to shake and Dim was gone in a flash of silver and gold. The word 'pistachio' echoed throughout the lab in Dim's voice. Maybe she would be seeing Dib sooner than she thought....

*~*~*~* To be continued *~*~*~*

It's like 11:00 at night and I'm still sitting here writing, listening to 'Ironic' over and over. See you guys later with chapter # 11! Bye! ^.~
