Red sat on Zim's front steps. He stared up into the sky. He was looking for Irk's sun, or something like that. Ever since he'd landed on Earh he'd been awfully homesick. Mostly because the inhabitense were all either insane or stupid.
He thought about his little sister, Blue,(*ahem. THis character was modeled slightly after me. OKAY? Now you know who'd I be in Invader Zim*) who was left in charge of Irk when he left. She was almost Red's height, and had a thing for playing a certain earth song by a certain band that she thought was written for her.(*Eiffel 65 fans know what song it is!*) She'd loved it the instant a transmission from Zim played the song in the backround. Red couldn't help but feel that she was making all the Irkens dance to it while she sang it over and over. He shuddered to think that.
"Excuse me..." a little girl's voice said, "if the one with the purple hair here?"
Red looked up to see the little girl that Zim had been flirting with earlier.
"Why yes he is..."Red said (*hey that rhymes!*) "but why do you want to see him?"
"I'm not telling you. Now let me in." Gaz said more irretibly than usual.
"Well, I'm not letting you in until you tell me, Earth larvae."Red said smuggly.
Gaz sighed (not a loving dreamy sigh, but an annoyed sigh), and said "He has stolen my heart in a way no other person on this planet could, so let me in."
"What?" Red said in disgust, "You'd choose THAT sleeze-bucket over ME? But I have the naturally good looks. The strong chin. The dashing red eyes..."(You must remeber that Red's contacts were red!)
Gaz growled and said, "Let me in."
"What in the firey pits of the inferno does he possibly have that I don't?"
Gaz grabbed Red's colar and pulled him down to her face, so that they were nose to nose.
"Look, slime ball," she said as annoyed as she'd ever been, "I wanna see that Purple-haired guy okay? And you WILL let me in the freakin' house, less I will make sure that the rest of your life is so miserable, that you will be HAPPY if you get killed by a homocidal maniac named Johnny! (*tee-hee. I just had to throw that in!*)
Red nodded slowly.
Gaz aside, and walked casually through the door.
Red couldn't help but think that she'd make a great Irken invader...
"You see Almighty Tallest Purple," Zim said pointing to some of his elevator, cleverly disguised as a toilet,"I have devloped some of the most advanced technilogical tranportation devices..."
Gaz came running through the door, toward Zim and Purple, and Zim stopped talking all at once.
Gaz was so pretty. Even when she was angry. It was clear to Zim that she loved him. Zim extentended his arms to hug Gaz but...
She raced over to Purple instead, and shoved Zim in an open floor cabnet, and slamed the door.
Zim put his ear to the wall (even though Irkens don't have ears), and listened to the conversation.
"You. I love you. We're gonna move to India and get married." Gaz said loudly.
There was a long pause. It was obvious Purple didn't know what to make of Gaz's new found infaturation.
"Look, we can't possibly do that stink larvae girl..."Purple finally said, but he was interupted by Gaz.
"Sure we can. In India people get married at ages younger tahn me. How old are you? 18? 19? Well, as long you're not more than ten years older than me, we're fine..."Gaz said.
"No...that's not it at all worm baby..."Purple said frustatedly, but he was again interupted by Gaz.
"Yeah. My dad's a famouys scientist. We'd have money for food..."
"SHUT UP!" Purple finally yelled, "I am not going to wed a stinkin' Earth child! Not in a million years! I hate this planet! You're all very silly!"
Purple stormed off. Probably to sit on the porch by Red.
Zim creaked open the cabinet door. His heart ached. It hurt. If was even more painful than the time GIR found the lazer weasle weasle testers and decided to play lazer tag with them.
Gaz was just standing there. She was shaking all over, and her eyes were watering. She looked like she was in shock.
"Gaz?" Zim said quietly.
He stepped out of the cabinet, and walked slowly over to where GAz was stadning. She didn't respond. She was barely breathing.
He stared at her, like you would stare at someone's mishapen mole on their cheek.
"Gaz?" He said again.
She was still shaking. Still barely breathing. And not blinking either. Salty tears ran down her pale cheeks.
What happened next was a strange thing, that barely would happen in a million years. Zim hugged her. It wasn't a friendly hug that you give your best friend after they give you a really cool birhtday present, and it wasn't a weird romantic hug that PG-13 movies are so accostumed to showing-It was just a warm hug.
She didn't pull back or do anything. But after a while she stopped shivering, and her eyes stopped leaking. When she started breathing normally, Zim let go.
They barely looked at each other before Gaz turned her heal, and left out the door, shoving Red aside to get down the steps.
Red and Purple looked over at Zim, and grinned widely. They must've seen Zim hug Gaz. They began to chuckle to themselves.
Zim flushed himself down his elevator, and went to go glower in his laboratory again.
Zim sat on top of his roof to watch the sunset. By this time Red and Purple had taken off their disguisses, and gone to bed. They'd had a rough day of making fun of Zim.
He watched the pink and purple clouds quietly. The sun seemed to linger over the city's tall skyskapers.
GIR climbed up on the roof, and plopped himself down beside Zim. He slurped on a chocolate bubble gum slushie loudly, so Zim knew right away that GIR was beside him.
"Isn't it pretty GIR?" Zim said quietly, "I'm almost sorry I have to destroy it."
"Awww, are you sad Zim?" Gir said after one huge gulp.
"NO! An invader like me is never sad! NEVER! HEAR ME?" He laughed maniacly, but then his laughter turned to little sad noises (Irkens can't cry, after all).
"The only human worm person I ever loved, and she gets stolen by my leader." Zim said sadly.
"You mean Dib?" GIR said.
"What? No! Of course not! I mean Gaz!"
"Gaz? Who's that? The poodle next door?"
Zim slapped his forhead, and then mumbled, "Cupcake lady."
GIR grinned and said, "Aww, don't be sad Zim. I love Cupcake lady too!"
"How...very nice GIR." Zim said sarcastically.
"Thanks!" GIR said happily.
When Gaz got home Dib was all in a tizzy (*I like that word!*).
"Where were you? You skipped school, and dinner, and dad grounded me for the rest of the month, because you didn't come home on time!"Dib grumbled.
"None of your buisseness, stupid!" Gaz shouted. She ran up into her room to glower.
Soon after she arrived, and had just begun burrying herself in a Calvin and Hobbes comic, Dib burst through the door.
"I know where you were." He said bellow his breath.
"SO?" Gaz shouted.
"Gaz how could you do this to me?" Dib shouted back. He didn't normally shout, but he had a good reason this time.
"Do what to you?" Gaz replied arragently.
Dib growled for a while. Gaz was now back into her comic strip, humming "Silicon Girl", and ignoring Dib's remarks.
"OH FORGET IT!" Dib finally shouted, "I seriously don't care what you do! You just interfere with my plans to capture Zim anyway!"
He stormed off into his own room, and lay in his bed staring at his celling.
Before he drofted off to sleep, his final thoughts were, "Am I a bad big brother?"
He thought about his little sister, Blue,(*ahem. THis character was modeled slightly after me. OKAY? Now you know who'd I be in Invader Zim*) who was left in charge of Irk when he left.
