Yes Sir
Chapter 3
Is This Love?
Later that day, Zinara contacted the Tallest, "Greetings, my Tallest."
"Aw, Zinara," began Tallest Red, "I see you made it to Earth."
"Yes sirs, I have."
"Zim... does he believe you?" Tallest Purple asked.
"Yes my Tallest."
"Excellent!"
"My Tallest, how long do I have to stay here on Earth?"
The Tallest laughed, "Oh, Zinara!" chuckled Red, "You're going to be on Earth for as long as Zim is there! Possibly forever!"
"But my Tallest, you had said--"
"Sorry Zinara, but we... we have another call!" and with those last words said by Purple, the screen went black.
Zinara began to cry, "I may never see Irk again!" she sobbed, "I will never become a great Irken soldier! I will never fall in love! There are only humans here, who I am forbidden to talk to!" She sat down on her bed, "But..." she sniffed, "... there is Zim."
Zim studied video footage he took of the humans. On one of the screens was Dib. He turned off the screens, "That Dib-worm probably hypnotized Zinara into liking him! There is no possible way anyone could like him! That Zinara, if she wasn't the first Irken female I had seen in years... I would never be able to put up with her! But she is very polite, and kind, and obedient.... and beautiful. And I do need someone to communicate with besides GIR. I wonder if she likes me... Oh, before I ponder about such things... I must find out if I like her..." Zim paced back and forth, "Oh, I am so confused! And I do not like being confused! It is not fun!" he said pounding his fist upon the control board. "Something is telling me 'Oh amazing Zim, you and Zinara are meant for each other!', yet another voice says, 'Amazing Zim, you should just be friends!' Ugh! The madness!"
"Zim, sir?" Zinara said entering the room.
"Yes, what is it Zinara?" he studied Zinara for a bit, "Zinara... have you... have you been crying?"
"Oh, it is nothing. I am just a little homesick, that's all."
"Oh, OK. So what was it you wanted to say?"
"Zim, I was wondering if I could help you with anything... After all that is why I was sent here."
"Well, you can file those, " Zim said pointing to a stack of papers, "Alphabetical order."
"Yes sir." She walked to the stack and picked up a paper, and read it over, "What is this?"
"Just observations."
Zinara placed the paper down, but it slid off and fell to the ground, "Oops." She bent down to pick it up.
"No, it's OK, I'll get it." Zim said also kneeling to retrieve the paper.
The two of them reached for it, and their hands touched, Zim's resting upon Zinara's. They stared in each other's eyes for several moments, then Zim quickly pulled his hand away, "Uh, sorry."
"It's OK." Zinara said. She picked up the paper and returned it to the stack, "Um, if you don't mind, I think I'll separate these in m room." She said carrying the stack to the elevator.
"See you later."
"Yea, bye."
