Chapter 11- Memories
"Where ya going Zim?" Dib mocked, even though Zim couldn't hear him in the Voot-crusier up ahead. "Running
away? Too afraid to face me?" He continued to chase the crusier, swating at it when he got close enough. But it was alot
like a person chaseing a house fly and soon Zim had dissapeared from Dib's sight.
Dib stoped and looked around, trying to find him again. Suddenly he had the strange feeling that he had been in
that place before. He looked around at the houses below him.
"Why does this seem so familiar?" He whispered to himself. A picture flashed through his mind, but was gone again
before he knew what it was of. Dib shruged it off and smashed another house. Humming along to the radio again, he turned
to look at the houses on the other side of the street.
Another flash. A human boy. Black hair, glasses, but that was all he could make out before it was gone again.
For some reason this picture scared Dib, he raised the robot's arm to smash the house that seemed to have conjured the
picture. The arm stoped in mid-air and hung there. There was a small figure on the roof. A human boy, surounded by alot of
high-tech equipment.
Another flash. This one looked, to Dib, like he was in the boy's place. using that same equipment,sitting on that
same roof.
Another flash. He was in a kitchen. In a sink of water? Why wasn't it burning him? There were two humans in the
kitchen with Dib. A young girl with purple hair and a man with a white lab jacket. Dib was trying to tell them something. The
human man was makeing something. What was that? Toast?! What was with the toast? Niether of the humans seemed to
be listening to Dib.
Yet another flash came to him. He was in the skool Zim went to. had he ever been to that skool? He couldn't remember
ever going there! Dib watched himself throw a red substance in Zim's face. He had never done that! Why would he ever want
to do that? THere was that purple haired girl again! She was laughing. What was going on?!
In fustration Dib brought the robot arm down on the house. He watched as the human boy flew through the air and
hit a tree. It fell to the ground and lay there, motionless, in a crumpled heep. The black hair fell off and now Dib could see that
it wasn't a human boy. It was an Irken girl, dressed in human clothes.
A picture of that girl came to Dib's mind. Blue eyes, lavender sweater, she wore a blonde wig for a disguise. The
picture didn't show the wig but Dib knew it. The girl in the picture smiled at him. Jen? Why would Jen smile at him? Jen and
Dib hated each other! Didn't they? Suddenly Dib wasn't so sure. Suddenly he wasn't sure about anything!
Dib shook his head. It felt like it was full of fog instead of brains. A mixture of the memories he knew where real, Irk,
Invader Skool, The Great Assigning, and these wierd new ones of a human boy he'd never seen before. Or had he?
Dib looked down at the recked house then over at the Irken laying by the base of the tree. Zim was over there beside
her now, trying to wake her up. But she didn't move.
"Jen..." Dib whispered sadly, then, as if another him had taken over, he scowled down at her. "She was always in
the way anyways. The mission will be much easier without her. But she's hurt! Why do I care?!" Dib looked at the ground again.
Now the purple haired girl from the flashes was running tward the two Irkens by the tree.
More flashes. A little boy on a tricycle, a younger version of the human boy he had seen in the first flashes. Scenes
from that boy's life flashed pass Dib's eyes like watching a slide show. The purple haired girl was in some of them, and the man
in the kitchen. Then Zim came in a few, Then Jen. Suddenly they stoped.
Dib sat, frozen in place. He turned his head slowly from side to side, taking in the damage he had created. "oh....." was
all he could get out of his throat, too shocked for words. He turned fully around to see the city behind him.
"What....how could I.....This is a dream......it has to be!" Dib whispered to himself, trying to make himself believe it. Then
he spund back around and looked at the ground, at the base of the tree. "Oh no....." he whispered as he watched Gaz and Zim try
to revive Jen.
Gaz looked up, directly at Dib. He couldn't make out the features of her face well from up in the machine, bu there was
something there he didn't like. Was Gaz crying? A shock like electricity ran through Dib's whole body. He quickly turned off the robot
and climbed to the ground. Dib ran over to the tree, then skided to a stop when he saw Zim's face. His eyes shined like rubys from
the tears that had built up there, one excaped from Zim's eye and ran down his cheek. This was even wierder than seeing Gaz cry.
"She's dead." Zim whispered angerly without looking up at Dib. "You killed her."
The air caught in Dib's throat (Or whatever Irken have). "What? No I.... I didn't......I wasn't...." Dib didn't know what to say,
he just kept stareing at Jen laying perfectly still, wareing his clothes. Silently Dib was begging her to move again. "Are you sure?"
"Yes i'm sure!" Zim yelled. "Don't you think I know when someone of my own race is dead!?" Dib looked helplessly at
Gaz, as if she could somehow make it better. Gaz just turned away.
"WEEEEEEEEE!!!" Dib heard Cat and Gir run up behind him. The sun reflected brightly off their Silver and Gold bodies as
the happy little robots ran pass and circled the tree once in a game of follow the leader. Cat stoped suddenly when he saw Jen laying
on the ground. Gir collided with him and they both fell to the ground.
"Jen?" Cat said looking at his master's body. "Let's go home now!" he exclaimed, not noticing that he and Gir were the
only happy beings around. "'Scary Monkey' is going to come on soon! Brand spankin' new one!" Jen didn't answer. Cat looked down
at her, confussed. "You can sleep at home. It's warmer there for you. Jen?" When Jen didn't move he grabed her arm and tried to pull
her up to a sitting position.
"Cat leave her alone!" Zim cried. "She's not sleeping, and she's not going to wake up!" another tear sliped down Zim's
cheek, he wiped it away angerly. He then murmmered something that sounded alot like: "Invaders don't cry, Zim!" The words hit Dib
like a 2-by-4 and he felt the first tears sting his eyes then roll down his cheek.
"if she's not sleeping...." Cat said slowly. "Then.....what's she doing?" No one answered him, but he seemed to sence that
it wasn't a good thing. Cat's purple eyes filled with tears, he sat down and cuddled up next to Jen, pulling her arm around himself.
"Awwwwww!! I know what'll make you all feel beter!" Gir cried and pulled a pink rubber piggy out of his head. "PIGGY!!!"
"No Gir! No piggies!" Zim yelled. Gir's little antena drooped. Then suddenly Zim's eyes flew open and he actualy hugged
Gir! "That's it! Thank-you Gir! Thank-you!" Zim was smiling now, so happy he was nearly laughing.
"What is it?" Dib asked, shocked that Zim could smile at a time like that.
"Come on! Every one to the Crusier!" Zim shouted and jumped to his feet.
"What about jen?" Dib asked.
"Leave her!" Zim answered. "It doesn't mater!" Dib just stared at him. He knew jen and Zim never got along too well, but
the way he could just get over her that fast! Or maybe it was an Irken thing. An Irken thing Dib hadn't inharited. Zim turned around to
look at Dib again. "You have to trust me on this." Zim said.
Dib glanced down at jen again, then shruged and followed Zim. There was nothing he could do there.
