A/N Wee. The long awaited (HAH) chapter threee!!
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Dib paused in his screeching to breathe, then continued.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH-MPH, ow!" Dib was cut short by landing face-first into a dingy matress, which he promptly bounced out of and onto a cold, damp floor. He picked himself up and brushed off his clothes, taking a look around him.
The matress that had broken his fall was really the only thing he could see clearly, because the light far above that was the opening of the hole shone on it. The rest of the room was dark and mysterious, though if Dib squinted he thought he could see some shapes off in the shadows.
"Well.. this isn't as bad as I thought." he said to himself. "As soon as my eyes adjust to the light, I can-" Dib was interrupted by loud BANG, followed by the loss of every bit of light in the room. Ms. Bitters had shut the door.
Dib blinked at the pitch blackness, then drew in a deep breath, turned around, and-
"AHHHHHH!" Dib shrieked, scrambling backwards.
"What? What? Do I have something in my teeth?" Zim said, looming above Dib on his spider legs. A flashlight connected to his backpack shone down eeriely from above.
"N-no.. just your ugly alien face startled me!"
Zim glared. "Fine then, pathetic Dib-worm. Let's see you navigate this awful hole BY YOURSELF!" And with that, Zim turned, and skittered off with his flashlight in hand.
"Fine! I can do it.. by myself.. alone.. in the dark.." Dib stood there in the shadows, unsure of what to do.
All around him, he could see nothing but black, except for the small glow off in the distance that was Zim.
And..
Dib..
Heard..
Noises..
Chitters and squeaks of bats, rats, and mice. Soft scuffles of covkroach and other things. Dib felt something lither by his foot, and something slimy touched his hand. He jumped, muffling a yell. He felt a breeze.. did something just fly by his head?!
"AHHHHHHHHHHIT'SINMYHAIRIT'SINMYHAIRIT'SINMYHAIR!!" Dib ran around screaming for a few minutes, then ran in the general direction of the flashlight of Zim.
Meanwhile, Zim was also rushing towards the place where he had dropped his flashlight, jumping over and ahead of Dib with unseen ease and use of his mechanical legs. He didn't like being alone and lost in an alien [haha, pun] enviroment, not even having the comfort of GIR's voice to listen to, since his radio contact didn't have a signal so far undergound. Zim hadn't been willing to ask the huuuuman for help. But.. it would be a different thing entirely if Dib-worm ran screaming for ihis/i help.
Zim got to his flashlight with not a moment to spare. He picked it up and turned around, shining it at Dib.
"Well, well, well. What do we have he-MMPH!!" Zim was interrupted by the terrified Dib that seemed to be clinging to his head.
"THE HORROR! THE HORROR! IT'S IN MY HAAAAAAAAIR-oh, neat, I caught me an alien."
"GET OFF!" said Zim, and with a mighty push, Dib was sprawled on the ground. "What has gotten into you, stinkbeast?!" Zim asked, knowing perfectly well what had gotten into him.
"I.. um.. have decided that.. uh."
"Wrong, Dib-worm! I, Zim, have decided that you will aid me in my quest to escape the horrors of this huuuuman stink hole." Zim said, flexing his claws for emphasis.
Dib raised an eyebrow. "O..kay. How do you know that I won't backstab you and lead you to a.. bad place?"
"Hmm.. true." Zim said thoughtfully. Then, with inhuman speed, Zim snapped a metal bracelet onto Dib's wrist.
"HEY!" Dib yelled, then frantically tried to pull it off. All he managed to do was bruise his wrist.
"There. That will blow you to smithereens if you betray me. Problem solved. MWUAHAHAHAHA!!" Zim cackled.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Dib calmy shrieked before attempting to chew his hand off.
"Hey, stop that." Zim said, smacking Dib's abnormally large head. He then turned, looking around at the black abyss that surrounded them. "Now.. how do we get out of here?"
A/N -.- I gotta tell ya.. it is SO hard to not rush into the romance part without any like.. plot buildup. Yes, there will eventually be a plot. blah.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Dib paused in his screeching to breathe, then continued.
