Aliens Exist
Part four
By: Cartman's Girl
GIR's little costumed body was being dragged along the ground on his back, towards the Mall. GIR had little interest where he was going, he was just glad his Master was taking him out. Following behind him was BEK, in her cat costume. Being a cat, she didn't have to wear a collar at all.
"Weeeeeeeee…" GIR had been declaring this since they had started, and since he was being dragged. It was getting annoying.
"GIR! Stop that!" Zim snapped at the robot, who got to his feet and began walking after them. Zim turned his attention to Cten, who was scratching her head again, due to the wig. "Now the Mall is where people go to purchase stuff, it's bigger then a normal store, so don't be surprised at how BIG it is. Well, it isn't big in our terms, but to puny stink beasts, it's big."
"Okie then!" Cten replied happily.
They turned the corner, and there it was. A huge building, as long as it was tall, one big sign that read 'MALL' on the top. Cten arched her head back to see it properly, and toppled over onto her backside.
"I've seen bigger." Zim said to himself. Cten got to her feet and followed Zim into the Mall, directly past a sign reading 'No Pets'.
Meanwhile, across the street, Dib, yes, the famous DIB is watching the alien group. How'd he get out of his house without being attacked by robots? He didn't. Take note of the seared jacket.
"There you are…" he quickly ran across the street, and into the Mall after them. Once inside, he followed the foot prints of GIR, who, on the way there, had been dragged through a muddy thing, least let's hope it's mud.
"So they don't order supplies from Conventia?" Cten asked as they walked past a skimpy clothes outlet, BEK stopped to ogle at a pair of bras.
"No, they come here and hand pick! Imagine the terrible germs that lurk in some of these things!" Zim shuddered at the thought of germs, and Cten just nodded a bit.
"So why are we here?" Cten asked, having to return to pick up BEK who was still ogling bra colours.
"For you to observe human behaviour, see how their primitive minds work in this sort of social order. It'll help you act more 'human' around the stink beasts. The spoot heads…" Zim added, muttering to himself.
"Oh I see then! So where does the most interaction take place?" Cten asked,
"At the counter, where they purchase the goods. We shall get in line, and observe. But when it comes to our turn, we'll flee. If they catch on, our mission is as good as doomed. And the Tallest don't want that!" Zim declared, leading her through the main doors of some spoofy like store.
"Oh of course not! Last thing I want to do is upset the Almighty Red and Purple. They have been so good to me." Cten sighed at her memories of working for the Tallest, but now she had to make them just as proud of her as an Invader as they were, when she was a Maid.
"Huh, good… that's… good." Zim replied.
Far behind them, moving quickly through the crowd, Dib kept his eyes on them. He was going to uncover them, that's for sure. In a store full of people, how could they miss something like two aliens and robots?
"All right…" he slipped into the main doors after them, still moving quickly.

"This product says 50% off! Now I want my 50% off!" a very loud, and obese woman was arguing with a skinny and pimply store clerk.
"Ma'am.. th-the 50% sale finished a half hour ago…" stuttered the oily-faced teenager.
"This store OPENED half an hour ago!"
The argument was pretty loud, and even Zim and Cten could hear it, and they were all the way back in the line between an old man who smelt of vitamins and peas, and some lady with a baby who had found interest in Zim's hair.
"Stop it!" he declared, moving away from the baby, fixing his hair. Cten sighed.
"So this is what humans do to amuse themselves… stand in lines between small larvae and smelly things." Cten thought to herself, she then heard a familiar voice.
"Hey! Cut it out!"
Since Zim was now occupied by the baby again, Cten turned her head around and saw Dib. He was near the computer section, unknown to her he had been watching them. But now he was being hassled by at least five bigger boys.
"Why are you- hey!" One of the boys had snatched his large, round edged glasses off his head.
"Cause we don't like your face dweeb!" declared the one who had his glasses now on his own head.
"That's no reason to push me around!" Dib called out, pretty much blind now without his glasses.
"Are you telling us what to do?" said another boy, bigger then the first one. Hearing how tough he sounded, Dib's voice grew a bit fainter.
"Um.. n-no, course not…"
"This kid's messing with our minds! GET HIM!"
All five boys were now on Dib like hungry lions were on a poor dying Zebra. Cten had been watching the whole thing, and she now looked appalled! Here was Dib, being beaten up by five huge boys, and no one was bothering to help! Her eyes narrowed and she snarled quietly.
Without being able to control herself, her spider legs shot out of her backpack, and she thus leapt into the cloud of smoke.
Now to keep this simple and non-violent in this fanfic, I'll just have the cries.
"OW! What was that?!"
"My eyeball!"
"The humanity!"
"What's going ON here?!"
"AYE-YIE-YIE-YIE-YIE!*"
"Waaaaa-HEY!"
Soon the smoke cleared, and the five boys were seen passed out, bleeding and battered on the ground. Dib looked a bit messed himself, and by now, people were watching, and staring at the mess. Cten is stood there, looking innocent as ever.
Dib shakily gets to his feet, goes over to her and whispers something into her would-be ear. She grins, and then wedgies all the five boys at once, possible by using her four spider legs and her own.
"Hey what's going on here?!" a fat, sweaty security guard was coming, Cten looked at Dib.
"'Cuse me!" she declared, and then grabbed Dib by the back of his jacket, her spider legs shot out and she ran up the wall, carrying Dib and vanished up through a skylight and out of sight, Dib with her.
The guard came to a stop and stared up after them, then at the boys. He scratched his head.
"These kids just get weirder and weirder. I blame the video games."
"GIVE ME MY HAIR!!"

"…why did you do that?" Dib was now sat on the very roof of the Mall, and knowing how tall this building was, he was pretty high in the sky. Cten was sat casually besides him, two of her spider legs sticking out, holding onto the roof.
"Oh you know, because." She replied happily, looking at the sky as a few birds flew by.
"You, you just kinda saved me down there. Why? I mean, you're an alien scum 'n you laid your eggs in me… wait, that's it! You just did that to protect your eggs didn't you? Hah! I knew it!" Dib was now stood up and pointing his little accusing finger at Cten who looked more confused then upset.
"…what?" she asked,
"Don't deny it you reproducing parasite! I always knew - waaugh!" Dib then unfortunately lost his footing, and almost fell off the roof. Before he knew it, Cten's robotic leg had slipped through his jacket, so here he was, hanging in mid air between an alien and a hard place.
"Uhh… heh-heh… you know I was kidding, right?" he grinned innocently.
Cten tilted her head to the side, a slight frown on her face.
"I'm not a reproducing parasite Dib." With that she dropped him… on the roof besides her. "So don't call me that again. Heh, even I know not to insult a greater species, tho there isn't many greater then us…" she trailed off and thought to herself for a moment, "Nope."
"….what is your species anyway….?" Dib asked, since she was without Zim obviously he couldn't stop her from talking, at last! A golden opportunity to find out about who Zim's species really were!
"Oh well we're-" Cten was suddenly cut off by Zim, leaping through one of the glass ceiling things, coming up between herself and Dib, making Dib fall back a bit, but not fall off the roof.
"CTEN! How dare you interrogate with the enemy! You are NOT at liberty to give such information away! Imagine what the Tallest would say, knowing YOU let precious Irken information seep through your hands like.. like.. SAND!" Zim was pointing a gloved hand at her, but then he trailed off realising he just mentioned both the Tallest AND his species name.
"Thanks for the information *Zim*." Dib snorted, dusting his jacket off. Zim whirled around and glared at Dib, and he looked rather menacing with his spider legs out and the snarl on his face.
"Fine, Dib worm! You win this round! But now there's TWO of us and you can't keep up with two! Come Cten! We have much to prepare!"
With that, Zim leapt off the roof but using his spider legs, they caught onto the side of the Mall and he walked down it, as if a real spider and vanished into the dark. Then we heard muffled cries from him.
"Argh, this glass HURTS!"
Cten looked at Dib, shrugged and followed after Zim. Dib sat there, but then GIR and BEK managed to climb out of the hole made by Zim. GIR waved at Dib,
"Hi big headed Dibby human!" he declared happily, then BEK grabbed his leash and followed suite after their masters, but using her jet pack instead of walking down the wall.
Dib sat there for a moment longer, then realised…
"Wait how am I supposed to get down from here?"

To be continued, yet again! Bwa-ha.
