Braids
Chapter 9
Invasion & Sweet Surprise
Esther couldn't believe her ears when Dib told her what the Razerkens were doing to her. Dib told her how they would need a Razerken or an Irken to get rid of the clexredrinian in her system. "Zim's an Irken!" she exclaimed right away.
"Yeah..." Dib frowned. "I'm going to go call him right now." He sighed, 'I'm still weary of Zim,' he thought, 'But who else can I turn to?'
Fifteen minutes later, Dib and Esther were in Zim's underground base. Esther laid upon an operation table, and Dib and Zim stood beside her, "Is this gonna hurt?" asked Esther.
"Don't worry, you'll be unconscious," said Zim gathering a few tools. He walked over to a control board, and pushed a few buttons. A big laser came from the ceiling, and lowered one inch away from Esther, "You sure I won't feel anything?" she gulped.
"Positive." He pushed a few more buttons, then turned to Esther, "I need you to remove your shirt." Dib frowned, and Zim noticed this expression, "Would you rather her shirt catch fire?"
Esther removed her shirt, "How long will this take?"
"The most... 20 minutes." Zim walked over to where Esther laid, "You ready?" Esther nodded. "All right then, here we go..."
Esther awoke to see she lay in her own bed now. Dib, Gaz, Zim, and Teq stood around the bed looking down at her, "How you feeling?" asked Dib.
"A lot better," she said sitting up. She lifted her T-shirt and saw that the blue marks were barely visible.
"They'll disappear completely eventually," informed Zim.
Suddenly, the whole apartment complex began to shake, "What's going on?" questioned Gaz. Everyone ran to the window. There were several green streaks of light that crossed the sky.
"What's that?" asked Esther.
"Uh oh," Teq and Zim said.
"What?"
"The Fireworks of Invasion..." said Teq and Zim in unison.
"What's that?" asked Gaz.
"Those lights were made to warn Earth that it will soon be invaded," said Teq.
"Judging on the color, the fireworks were fired by Razerkens," Zim said; everyone looked at Teq.
"Hey, I don't care for my dad's side of the family. I even came so far as to fly millions of light years to reach this planet just to get away from 'em."
"What's gonna happen?" Esther asked, she sat down on her bed, and picked up her teddy bear, grasping it tightly.
"Traditionally, after The Fireworks of Invasion, the planet has forty-eight hours to prepare themselves," Teq said walking to where Esther sat, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you guys are safe."
"We gotta leave Earth," said Zim, "There's no way humans will survive the merciless Razerkens... It's not safe here."
"Leave Earth?" Esther squeezed her teddy bear tighter.
Dib sat down next to Esther, "Where would we go?" he questioned.
Zim and Teq exchanged glances. "We could go to planet Sidini," suggested Teq, "That's where I used to live with my mom... It's really very beautiful there."
Gaz, Dib, and Esther looked at each other, "I don't wanna leave Earth," Esther said quietly.
"Neither do I," said Dib, "But it's not like we have a choice."
"We'll leave tomorrow night," said Teq.
"So soon?" Gaz said, she just came back to Earth, she did not want to leave it so suddenly.
"We'll have to, unless you want to leave tonight."
"Fine," said Gaz, "We leave tomorrow."
Zim embraced Gaz, and kissed her gently upon her right cheek, "Let's go home. We better start packing."
"Yeah, I better start too," said Teq. Teq, Gaz, and Zim all left the apartment, to return to their homes.
Dib and Esther were alone. "This will be our last night on Earth," said Dib, "I can't believe it."
"Neither can I." Esther stood, then walked over to a drawer. She pulled out a blue watch and handed it to Dib, "I had Gaz get it for me to give to you. It's really neat-o... it tells time, it's a compass, and the best thing is... it can detect UFO's."
"Thanks, Braids," Dib said, "I wish I had something to give to you..."
"You can give me a kiss."
"That I can do," Dib said standing, and heading towards Esther. Dib wrapped his arms around Esther, and kissed her deeply on the lips, their tongues twisted. When the kiss was over, they stared into each others eyes for several moments. Then surprisingly Dib said, "Marry me."
