The Truth
"Hey Jane, is dad there? This is Dib. Ok I'll wait." "Hello?" "Dad, I need you" "The world needs me son" "I know, but this is important, remember that green kid Zim?" "Aw Yes the little foreign boy, what about him?" "Well he's been adopted by cruel people, they are abusing him, You need to come home and see this." "I'll be right there." Dib hung up. It would take his dad about 20 minutes to get home. "Dib, is dad gonna come home?" "Yeah, Did anything else happen?" "The adults got drunk, Zim went to sleep, other than that, no." "Dad should be home soon. As much as I detest Zim, I know that nobody should be hit that hard over a bottle of replaceable champagne."
When Zim got up, it was about 10:00 am. "I wonder if they are still asleep." He walked into the living room, and his question was answered. They were asleep on the couch. He turned the TV off, and fixed himself something to drink. He heard Virginia stirring from her peaceful rest. "What time is it?" she wondered aloud. "It's 10:30 Mommy dearest" "Ok then, I'm going back to sleep." She conked out quickly. Unfortunatly, Richard woke up, and he wasn't in a good mood. "Hey brat, bring me a beer." Zim wanted to say get it yourself, but he was too afraid. "Yes sir" "Now that's what I want to hear." Zim opened the fridge and pulled out something that looked like the drink. He ran over to Richard and handed him the bottle. "You stupid idiot, this is root beer!" He punched Zim . Virginia woke up from Richard's yelling. "Now what did he do?" "He brought me a root beer, when I asked for beer" "Darn boy can't you tell the difference" "No" Zim whimpered. Richard smiled evily,"Then how about I show ya?" He grabbed him, and walked into the kitchen. Richard took out a beer, and set it on the counter. He opened the bottle of beer, and poured it down Zim's throat. The liquid burned as it went down. He hated beer, and vowed never to go around the mess again. When the bottle was empty, Zim felt sick. He turned and puked his guts out into the sink as Virginia and Richard stood over him laughing.
"Dad has got to get home now, before they kill him" Gaz cried as she watched the scene. "H..how could they think that is funny, Gaz" They heard a commotion downstairs. "Alright, dad's home! Gaz rewind the tape" Dib raced down the stairs, grabbed his dad and ran back up. "Dad, You've got to see this" Dib played the tape for his dad. At the end, Professor Membrane, was silent, "Dib we are gonna do something drastic about this, we are going to the police with this. Now!"
Zim was pale when he finished. Richard hit him hard on the back, causing him to fall off the counter. Richard laughed at Zim sprawled across the kitchen floor. Zim ran out the back door as fast as he could. He slipped and nearly slid into the pool. He heard Richard coming after him. "Get back in here, I'm not done with you yet." Zim tripped , giving Richard time to catch up with him. Richard reached out and grabbed Zim. "I'm gonna beat you to a pulp." Once inside, Virginia kicked, slapped, and punched every part of Zim. She punched him very hard in the eye, then stopped to catch her breath. Zim felt something come of his face, he twisted himself around so he faced the direction opposite of Virginia. He reached up to his right eye. Sure enough, his contact had fell out. He picked it up, and gripped it tightly. He smiled evily,"Now it's my turn" he thought as he turned back around toward Virginia. "Oh mom" "What?" she snapped her head around and screamed. Zim's ruby red eye stared at her. He reached up and pushed his wig off, and pulled his other contact out. "RICHARD" Virginia shrieked. "What is it Ginny, what did he do to.....AAAAHHH!!! What kind of monster are you!?!" "Mwahahahahaha" Zim laughed. Richard scrambled to the phone and called the police, "Hello 911 there is an alien in my house! I live at 1789 45 street, Bradenton, Florida" "You stay there you little freak!" Virginia screamed.The police arrived in 15 min. "I am Sargent Robert Oak, where is this alien at?" "In the living room" Zim popped his contacts back in and placed his wig back on. He folded his hands in his lap and smiled as the officers came in. "Daddy who are these men? What are they doing here? Are we having a party?" Sargent Oak turned to Richard and Virginia. "This is your alien?" "He can take his eyes out, and..and he has little antennae sticking out of his head when he takes his wig or whatever off." The officers started laughing. Richard ran over to Zim and tried to pry Zim's eye out. "Ow daddy, that hurts, please stop , I didn't do anything." Richard then tried to pull Zim's wig off. "Daddy please stop, it hurts." "Ok that's enough." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. one of the officers opened the door. Professor Membrane, Dib and Gaz stood there. "Officers, arrest those two abusive people."the professor said "We have the proof right here." Dib placed the tape in the VCR and Gaz pressed play. The officers watched the entire tape, and at the end their minds were made up on what to do. "Richard and Virginia, you are under arrest for child abuse, and promoting underage drinking. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you." The officers handcuffed the two and placed them in the police car. "But he's an alien, you've got to believe us."
"Am I gonna have to go back to the orphanage?" Zim asked Sargent Oak. "I don't know, Who are your case workers?" "David Swartz and Maria Vancouver" "Ok, Zim you and I are gonna go down to the station and talk with them." "Should we come too?" Dib asked. "Yes I think you should, We'll need that tape for evidence." Zim got in the car with the Sargent. "Who knnows what gonna happen in the future, who knows where this path will lead" Zim Thought as they headed to the station.
