Chapter 8: Spreading the truth.

Sorry I've been posting so slow…

Zer looked around for Gir. Now that he knew about Dib, the cemetery was a horribly sad place. He wanted to leave, but he was determined to find Gir. "I think he's over there." Sir said, pointing to the large, fenced in area that was the original Dib's grave. "I… don't think so." He didn't want to go. "But, master! I can feel it! He's over there!" Zer thought for a moment, and then headed in that direction. It would make sense. Gir seeing is master would probably tempt him too stay there. "Gir?" Zer Said, loudly. After walking for a few minutes, he could make out Gir's green body lying on the ground. Zer ran to him. It looked as if he might be hurt. Sure enough, Gir was sleeping next to the statue of Dib. He looked as if he had just been crying. Zer picked him up, and began to walk away, when he tripped over a black box. "Stupid litter." He said, as he picked it up. He tossed it into his pod, and continued home. Cupcake followed.

When he got home, he dropped Gir on the couch, and went down stairs to go to bed. As he lay there, he wondered what the next step should be. He had to get the truth across without exposing himself as an Irken. He kept thinking, until he fell asleep.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Zer awoke to the sound of his 2 robot companions screeching. He jumped up, and ran to the elevator. "What happened!?!" Zer shouted. "We was playin' hide 'n' seek, and I was looking for Cupcake, and somethin' reached out and touched my tail!" whined Gir. "You're not wearing your costume, Gir. You don't have a tail." "Oh yeah…. Never mind then." "Sir!" Zer barked. Sir hopped out from under the couch. "Yes, master?" "Don't scare Gir. Ok?" "Yes sir…" He said sadly. Zer began to walk to the elevator again, when they both screamed. "What now!?!" "Nothing. I just like to scream." Said Gir, as he flipped on the TV. A smirk arose on Zer's face. "The TV! That's it!" Zer then ran down into the elavator, and descended. "Wow… he sure likes TV." Said Gir. "Buttered toast!" Replied Sir.

Zer had grabbed his costume and jacket, and was now jogging toward the museum. He had to get the tape Gir had been watching. The pieces where coming together. He ran into the museum, and down the hall, into the secret room. He grabbed all the stuff in the 'murder box', and ran out of the museum, toward the town square. He knew there was a large TV for City Council meetings, and important news. It was loud enough to inform the whole city. After running through various passageway's and tunnels, he finally reached a huge dome. It was empty. He ran to the back of the TV, and pushed the tape into a small slot. He turned up the volume to 100%, and pressed play. He than ran, so that nobody would see him. He could here Dib's voice ringing through every hall, and could see people heading out of their homes to find the source. Hopefully, the town would see the truth.

Zer ran in the door, and slammed it shut. He stood there, breathing heavily. "Sup, G dog?" asked Sir. "What did you say?" Zer glared at Sir and Gir, as he listened to Dib's voice call out through the city. All of the sudden, there was a huge wham at the door. Before Zer had time to turn around, the door was rammed down. Zer looked up from under the door, to see Saje standing there with her arms crossed. "What do you think you're doing!?!" Zer got over his look of shock, and hoisted himself off the ground. He dusted himself off. "If you must know, I was exposing the truth to prevent my own death…. Is that ok with you?" "WALKIE!!!" shouted Gir. "No, that's not ok with me! None of us need to be reminded of Dib's death! Not to mention, that tape probably isn't real! There's been hundreds of 'Dib's', and any one of them could of made that tape to confuse the people!" "Uh-huh… could you get off my door?" Zer was just a little annoyed with Saje, and pretty much ignored her. "WALKIE!!!" Gir said again.

After kicking Gir into the next room, Zer gave an evil glare at Saje. They both stood there, staring. Zer would have given anything to get her out of their, without having to touch her. All of the sudden, Gir ran out of the kitchen, toward Saje. He was holding a huge butcher knife. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! GET AWAY!!!!" She screamed. She ran down the street, and was out of sight in moments. "Wait! I just wanted you to cut my cookie in half!!!" Yelled Gir. Zer gave a sigh of relief, and patted the whimpering Gir on the head.

Zer stood there for a while. He couldn't think of a thing to do. He need not go outside yet. He could still hear Dibs voice in the background. He stood there, starring at the wall. "Master? Where'd Gir go? He still has my cookie!!" yelped Sir, as he ran into the room. "Huh? Oh… I dunno." Zer replied dully.

After an hour of dramatic waiting, Zer went downstairs. He had just remembered that there was an entire lab down there he could uncover. He figured that would take his mind off Dib for a while. Something was still wrong, *and this plot is going nowhere. Ps… If you have a problem with me cutting into my writing, don't read it! *

After a few hours of digging through rubble 2000 years old, Zer finally decided he had something better to do then to waste his time like this. He stepped out into the normal part of the lab, and stood there thinking for a moment. All the sudden, the transmitter went of. He ran over too it, and turned it on. "Hello?" "Oh… great. Your still alive." Almighty Green was sounding a bit sarcastic. "Oh… My Tallest. Uh… did you need something?" "I… don't think so. Purple here just insisted that we make sure your not dead." "Well… I'm alive, and glad to report the mission is going well." Zer didn't intend to tell them he had quit the mission. At that moment, Gir ran and jumped on Zer's back, still holding the knife. "NO GIR!! OFF!! YOU'RE GOING TO HURT SOMEONE!!!" "C'mon! Kill him!" Green chanted. "GIR! Get off of him!" Said Purple. "NO, GIR!!" With that, Gir chopped off Zer's right antennae. "OW!! OH, PAIN!!! GET OFF ME NOW!!!" Tallest green was laughing, and Purple was a little worried looking. After Zer managed to throw Gir off of him, He grabbed his amputated antenna off the floor. "~Grrr~ I… *bleed* have to go…." He reached out to shut it off, and then let out a horrible scream. After 20 minutes of screaming, He went and got a roll of tape.

"GIR! You can't just run around with a huge knife! What if you would of chopped off my head or something!?! Then what would you have done!?!" "I dunno…" "You have to be more careful!" "Yes, master." Gir dropped the knife, and sadly walked away. As he did so, there was a knock at the door. "Please don't be Saje… Please don't be Dib… Please don't be an angry mob ready to kill me…" He cautiously opened the door, to see a mailman. "Ahem… is this yours?" He said, holding up 'Cupcake' with a huge piece of 'blue' in his mouth. "Uh… yes?" With that, the mailman chucked Sir right into Zer; knocking him about 6 feet back. He slammed the door, and strutted away. "Ow…" Zer said, as he went out cold.

K… I know that's an odd place to stop, but I needed to post something!!! Just be happy I finished this chapter.
