Actually, this was supposed to be a bit longer... but I edited out 'Tuesday' because I'm tired and I don't feel like finishing it :p So you can just get Monday, and then Chapter 5 will be super long, with Tuesday, Wednesday, and possibly Thursday (alright! Let's go to McDonalds! ::Zim blinks:: "What is this... McDonald's?" Oh! It's like McMeaties, except it serves billions and billions. Zim: ::evil grin:: "And is it's meat... SPACE MEAT??? Can it protect from Germs as well?"::blink, blink:: I'm not sure... but I'm pretty sure it isn't real meat. Zim: ::evil laugh:: I SHALL RULE MCDONALDS WITH AN IRON FIST! ::jumps in front of Ronald:: YOU! EARTH-CLOWN! OBEY MY EVIL FIST OF DOOM!) o.o See, that's how tired I am. I've become delusional. Hah. Getting back to the task at hand... enjoy or hate... I'm really too tired to care. And I shall be back! Bla! ::crawls toward bed::
Chapter 4: When Days Fly (Plan 1)
*Monday*: Plan 1
"Today we get to blow up things!" said their camp counselor, Krystie, as she stood in front of the class in a new, bright pink outfit that could probably be seen from three miles away. "Now, your teacher said that she already taught you all you ever needed to know about gases and their relation to chemistry, so I'll leave you guys all the materials and you can work on your own determining the rate of diffusion and kinetic energy of combustion of each of these aqueous compounds!"
The entire class stared up at her blankly.
"Ms. Bitters never taught us..." a kid began to say, but was immediately jabbed in the stomach by another student.
"Shut up! We get to play with fire!"
"Oh."
"Here you go," Krystie said, passing out goggles, gloves, testing tubs, and cotton swabs. "The aqueous substances are already at your desk! Just combine them with other elements to make the gases, then use any means of heat to produce your exothermic reaction. Have fun!"
"Hey, look at this! This one says... sodi...um dini...tride..." the same kid that spoke earlier said. "I wonder what'll happen if I add it to... umm... H20!!!"
KABOOM!
Dib shuddered for a moment as his table shook, but overall ignored the sudden small explosion behind him. He was exhausted because he'd gotten up extra early that morning to deploy: Plan 1.
Extra early meaning before the dawn of light... of course, the hike they were supposed to have occurred just before dawn (they were supposed to meet at 5:00 in the morning precisely) and so, in order to prepare, Dib had to wake up two hours earlier.
It was supposed to work perfectly. He would set the machine at the very top of the mountain, just before everyone else would arrive from the exhausting climb. As soon as Zim stood on it, metal bars would spring up, trapping the alien once and for all. It was fail-proof... or, supposedly it was. He'd even put up a sign right next to it that said: "For Humans Only" as a sort of reverse psychology that would trick Zim into standing there. But Zim, actually, had found a way to get to the top of the mountain even /earlier/, and wasn't tricked.
Dib sighed a puff of dirt, and thumbed a finger through his mud-caked hair. No, Zim wasn't tricked. But at least he was able to get something out of it. He looked over at the Irken, who was also strewn over his own lab table, just as exhausted as he.
Zim wasn't interested in doing anything with the primitive human technology, though it would have been fun to laugh at the stupid class which were in the process of severely mauling their arms and legs by giving themselves third degree burns from combusting the gases. He wasn't in the mood to laugh at all right now.
He'd woken up extremely early to deploy his own plan to get rid of the human stinkbeast Dib. Extra early. After sneaking out, he'd taken the grueling climb to the top of the mountain to set up his trap. A cage. All Dib had to do was stand on top of the leaves, and he'd fall in. For bait, Zim placed on the ground a sad-looking stuffed bunny that he'd stolen from Keef. He tied on two antennae made of sticks and leaves to the bunny's head. Then he placed the bunny in a small thatch, so that Dib could only see the antennae poking out. The thatch was directly over the cage, which would collapse as soon as Dib stood on it. With that, Zim jumped behind a set of bushes to wait.
About a half an hour later, he found the human boy trekking slowly up the mountain alone. This was perfect! Zim thought. Dib didn't notice the little 'alien bunny'. For the longest time, he was busy setting up his own trap. Zim watched, waiting patiently.
Then Dib just stood there. Annoyed, Zim yelled "HEY!".
Dib jumped a mile from the sudden shout, piercing the usual quiet air. It would have been funny, and Zim had to stifle a laugh. Dib turned and saw the antennae of the 'alien bunny'. Slowly, he advanced toward it.
Zim, stifling another laugh, ducked and waited to hear the crash! that would signify Dib's fall into the trap. It never came.
Zim peeked up again. What was taking that stupid human boy so long? Then he realized that Dib wasn't there anymore.
"Where... is...?" Zim began, when he suddenly heard a piercing yell and felt someone crashing into him.
"No!" Zim yelled. He used his legs to propel off the ground just before touching the trap in the ground, and sailed over it. But then behind him, Dib did the same and grabbed the Irken by the waist, forcing him to the ground. They rolled around a little bit in the dirt and stopped. Zim let out a sigh, then looked up and saw the sign Dib had put up... 'For Humans Only'.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Zim yelled as the metal bars sprang up.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Dib agreed.
The cage wasn't meant for two. It began rocking at the imbalance.
"Oh... fu-" Dib began, and then he, Zim, and the entire cage careened down the mountain.
"AH! OUCH! OOF!" Zim yelled with each bounce.
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Dib yelled as they rolled through a thicket of thorny, dried up weeds.
"MY SQUEEDILY SPOOCH!"
"MY LIVER!"
"THE PAIN!"
"THE AGONY!"
Finally, after seven bounces, they landed at the bottom of the mountain.
"Ouch."
Groaning and aching, Zim pushed open the bent up metal bars and crawled out. Dib slowly followed.
"You will pay for that, human," Zim muttered as he slowly attempted to stand up.
"Shut up, Zim."
"Oh, looky! We have two eager hikers already here!" Krystie said as she walked up to them, their sleepy-eyed class following slowly behind her.
Dib groaned as he attempted to fix his cracked glasses.
"Heh, heh, heh," a kid said, looking at the two. "Wonder what you guys have been doing."
"ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!" Dib yelled.
Zim stood there, dumbfounded, as the joke sailed right over his head.
"Well, since you two seem to be SUCH keen students, you can climb up the mountain first!"
"Not again," Dib groaned.
If Dib thought he had it bad, Zim was in for an even worse fate. The entire way back up the mountain, he had to deal with Keef trailing behind him. At the top, Zim couldn't take it.
"Hey, Keef, look over there."
Keef turned. "Look! Ears!" Keef slowly approached the thatch. "A bunny!!! Cool!" Keef jumped on it, hugging it. And then the ground underneath him collapsed. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Presently, Dib sighed, closing his eyes and trying to get some sleep as the science room around him burst into flames. Exasperated, he slowly got up and dragged himself out of the room before the whole place exploded. Zim silently followed.
Later that evening, after dinner, Zim was hobbling back to the room. He knocked on the door, thrice. At first, there was no answer. He knocked on it again. Again, nothing. "Gir?! What are you doing in there? Let me in!"
The door slowly opened. Light flooded in. And standing in the doorway was...
"KEEF?!"
"Hiya buddy! Sorry it took me so long to get the door."
"I THOUGHT I LEFT YOU AT THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!!!"
"Yeah, but it was getting kinda cold up there."
"How did you get down?"
Keef grinned and gave Zim a blank minded stare. "I climbed down. Same way I got up."
"But... you were stuck... in the trap..." Zim stammered. He sighed and groped over to the bed, too tired to complain. Instantly, he fell asleep, hoping tomorrow wouldn't be worse.
Was that short? Or long? I can't tell. Review anyway. Bla! "You like fan fiction. You cannot live without fan fiction. You must have fan fiction! Fan fiction is your air. You LOVE fan fiction!"
