Braids
Chapter 12
Disaster Strikes
Esther sat at a small table writing, and practicing her Kenzian, "Kwi, ezi abic ez Esther. Yew ezb zu?" Esther practiced.
"What does that translate to?" asked Dib who sat and listened.
"Hello, my name is Esther. How are you?"
"Oh."
"O eksta Dib."
"And that means..."
"I love Dib."
Dib smiled, "O eksta Braids."
"We're here!" Teq's voice sang from the pilot's chair, "Planet Zirbi!"
The five of them stepped off the ship and onto the planet's surface, each one carrying a bag, and Teq carried his guitar. Zirbi had many tall buildings and tons of alien crafts flew through the air. They sky was orange without a cloud to be found. There were red trees, and pink flowers. Teq led them to a building labeled "Gigba". Esther smiled, "Ooh, I know what that means!"
"What?" asked Dib.
"Hotel!" she turned to Teq, "Will we be staying here?"
Teq nodded, "For two days."
They entered the Gigba, and were greeted by a short creature, who's skin was red, and had yellow eyes, similar to Zim's without his human disguise. They walked up to a counter, where a female Zirbinoid stood. She had pale yellow skin, and faint pink eyes. Her hair was orange, long, and curly, and she wore a simple pink dress. For an alien, she was quite beautiful, "Kwi, O ez Dazina. Yew ce O rabz zu?"
"What she say?" Dib whispered to Esther.
"She said her name's Dazina, and she wants to know how she can help us."
Dazina heard this, "Zu naf spiz Kenzian?" she asked Dib, which meant: You don't speak Kenzian?
Dib stared at her blankly. Esther giggled, "Na, ze naf spiz Kenzian," or: No, he can't speak Kenzian.
"Nab ke biz jan kezers, Dazina?" asked Zim, which meant: Can we have three rooms, Dazina?
Dazina nodded, and handed Zim three keys. Zim handed her some weird looking money, and he and the others began to walk to the rooms.
Dib and Esther sat on the hotel bed, and watched television, even though Dib didn't understand any of it, and Esther only understood a few sentences. On the television set, it was some sort of Zirbinoid Soap Opera, that Esther seemed to like. Dib watched it trying to figure out what was going on. "Ooh!!" exclaimed Esther.
"What?"
"I think that girl, just found out that that guy, who she's in love with is her dad!" she said pointing to the screen. "Wait... no... her uncle! No, I was right, her dad... I think."
Suddenly, the soap opera was interrupted by an important news report, "Caz ez loy rizi ib loy cabikag ofa spoo dainabs ub Zirbi!" screamed the television set.
"What did it say?" asked Dib.
"Something about dangerous creatures here..."
"Razerkens ezi kenqu waf yiboh... ez humans." the news broadcast continued.
"Razerkens are hunting them down... the humans," gulped Esther.
"We're not dangerous!" exclaimed Dib.
"Ez ecobzin feri ba Irken, ib ba Crewkin-Razerken coa."
"They are with one Irken, and on Crewkin-Razerken," Esther translated.
Suddenly Teq ran into their room, "Dude! They're after you guys!" he exclaimed. "We gotta leave! They even have a reward if someone catches you."
"Not good! Not good!" Esther panicked, grabbing her stuff.
Soon the five of them boarded the ship, and were on the run again.
