Nightshade: *cracks whip* WRITE!!!!!

SilverRogue: *cowers*



Dib blinked in surprise as the damaged computer grabbed Zim, restraining him. Not wanting to give the computer a chance to figure out it's mistake, he ran into the elevator and frantically pressed the buttons in a mad attempt to get it to take him back up where Gaz was. Thanks to pure dumb luck, it worked.

He scrambled out of the elevator and ran past Zim's stupid little robotic... thing just in time to see it shove a live chicken (coated in mayonnaise) into it's mouth. Feeling like he was going to be sick, he ran over to Gaz's limp form.

She was deathly pale, and if she hadn't been breathing in ragged, shallow gasps, Dib would have thought her dead. He gently placed a hand on his little sister's forehead, but drew it back quickly. She was burning up! Dib realized he had to get Gaz to a doctor before it was too late. Carefully cradling her in his arms, Dib rose shakily to his feet.

Outside, the storm had grown to tempest proportions. The wind howled to wake the dead as it savagely ripped leaves from the trees and the rain was coming down in icy cold sheets, but Dib hardly noticed. He only knew that he had to get Gaz home, and all other thoughts were driven out of his mind by that knowledge.

By the time he ran in their front door, Dib was soaked to the bone and shivering. His odd hair was plastered to his head and he could barely see for all the water soaking his glasses. He laid Gaz on the couch, then frantically dialed 911 with trembling fingers.
