ROS'S NIGHTMARE ~~part 2
Our story begins (or continues, I'm so confused!) as.
//It is a few hours after Ros told Purple she would leave with him. Red, Purple, and Ros all left about a half hour ago. Zim is at his house.//
Zim: I CANNOT believe I let her slip through my fingers like that! //He picked up the cushions on the couch and threw them across the room breaking a lamp. Gir walked in when he heard the noise.//
Gir: What was that?
Zim: LEAVE! //Gir got scared and ran off.// I have to come up with a plan to get her back. But how?
~*~ 3 years later ~*~
//Zim is going into his freshman year of highskool. After many attempts to get Ros back failed, most of them didn't even make it off the ground, he tied to forget about her. But it's hard to forget.//
Jock: HEAD'S UP?
Zim: Eh? //Before he could comprehend anything, Zim was pelted in the head with a football. He got knocked on the ground with a huge bump on his head.//
Jock: Dude, I'm ,like, sorry 'bout that. //He picked up the football and rejoined with his friends.//
Zim: Stupid earth sports. //He couldn't help but remember the way Ros had pelted the kids back at skool during recess during her only day at skool. The bell rung and Zim went to first period. He picked and seat in the back of the class and sulked. An announcer came on from the PA system.//
Announcer: Attention new students for the class of 2005! Welcome to your very first day of highskool, for most of you, at least. Note that any tardies, skipping, or using the skool elevator will not be tolerated! That is all. //There was some static before everything is silent again. The teacher walks to the front of the class.//
Teacher: Welcome to hell. //Zim slid down his chair and tried his best to pretend not to hear anything.//
~*~ 3 years earlier ~*~
//Ros is sitting next to Purple in the same ship that they used to get there. Purple got up out of his seat.//
Purple: Now, if you're going to live around the Tallest, then you'll have to dress like one. //A tube came down from nowhere and sucked Ros out of her seat. When she got spit out, she was in a suit of armor greatly resembling that of the Tallest.//
Ros: This has got to be a joke. //She was looking at herself in the mirror. With all due respect, she did look strange.//
Red: Aww, c'mon. Ya look fine.
Ros: I certainly don't feel fine. //She looked out the window to see earth looking like nothing but a star.//
~*~ 3 years later ~*~
//Ros is sitting on a thrown next to Purple. Purple was busy talking to another Irken. She was bored, as usual. Even on earth you could find her leaning her head on her arm trying to think of something to do.//
Ros: Purple, can we do something fun today?
Purple: Maybe later, Rossy. //Ros cringed. After all this time, he still hadn't caught on to the fact that she DESPISED that name. After about the first few months, she gave up on correcting him on Red's opinion.//
Ros: I'm going to step out for a minute. //She got out of her chair and walked down various hallways. Wherever she went, the Irkens would pay respect to her by quickly bowing their heads. She really didn't like all the attention. So many people kind of freaked her out. She went down a hallway where she didn't see anybody.// Good. Finally someplace I can go where people won't bug me. //Even in her own bedroom she had many maids hired by Purple that were always scurrying about. At the end of the hallway there was a door. Being bored enough as she was, she decided to go in. There where tons of broken video phones, computers, lab equipment, you name it, and it was there.// Whoa. This is. a dream world! //She ran by an old computer and huddled over it. After about a few seconds the screen came on.// I still got it! //She went to a video phone and plugged in a few cords. The screen turned on.// I am loving this! I haven't been able to fixed things in who knows how long! To bad Zim couldn't see this! //The phone started to beep.//
Computer: Contacting: Invader ZIM. Location: Earth. //A ringing tone came from computer.
TO BE CONTINUED! It's good to be back, baby!
Our story continues as.
//Ros had just accidently called Zim after not seeing him for over 3 years. Wow. Zim is still at skool wondering when it will all end. Zim is digging through his locker after a tiring day.//
Zim: Skool is a waste of time. I should have never come to this planet in first place. //He grabbed some of his books and headed down the hallway. He came across a group of people standing in front of a bulletin board.//
Kid: These clubs are so cool! It wouldn't be right for someone not to join one! //Zim, after hearing this, went to the bulletin board to see if there was a club that he could join. A lot of them were already filled up. He came across a sheet that said "Dodge Ball." He looked down the list.//
Zim: M, Rutchy, DT, Zoom, Zgirl, Chibistar. No Ros. //Although he knew she wouldn't be on there, he felt compelled to check. (Chibistar is the name of my friend! ^_^) Zim walked out the door and down the street back to his house. He walked to his into his base and sat on the couch.// What is wrong with my life? //Gir popped in from the kitchen.//
Gir: Ros isn't here.
Zim: Shut up! //He threw a pillow at Gir and it ran off. Zim moved on into his lab and sat on a seat in front of his computer.//
Computer: You have one new message. //Zim looked at the computer quizziacly.//
Zim: Come again?
Computer: I said you had a new message! //Zim pressed a few buttons and the video phone started playing.//
Zim: That's odd. Nobody's called me in ages! //The screen showed a picture of Ros. She seemed really paniky and she started pressing on buttons that were off the screen and the screen went black. Zim sat there trying to comprehend what had happened.// Did she just call me? //He rewound the video paused it. Ros was a little different with her new outfit and since it was taped in the dark, he couldn't make out a lot of the facial detail.// I can't believe she called me! Computer! Trace the call! //A few seconds pass.//
Computer: Unknown caller. Could not trace call!
Zim: What? No! I wanted to see her again! //Meanwhile, back on the Massive, Ros is still in the junk room fixing up old computers and what-not.//
Ros: I can't believe I called him! //She used a machine that made sparks fly everywhere. She was wearing a mask to protect her face. She lifted it up to reveal that her face was oily and even had some scratches on it.// Why didn't I say anything? //She wiped her face off with a rag and moved on to a different project. Suddenly, she heard the door open and light filled the room. She instantly hid behind a computer.//
Irken: Just look around and see if there's anything that you want, sir.
Red: Alright. //Red floated around and looked at some of the junk that Ros had been fixing. Ros spied on him from behind some chips.// You know, none of this really looks half bad. Why was it thrown away, again? //A shadow appeared behind Red.//
Purple: Yeah, ya know we don't have the funding to throw away perfectly good. //Purple picked up a portable videophone that Ros had finished and examined it.// .Junk.
Red: I don't see anything too special here. Go ahead and throw it out.//
Ros: //Under her breath.// No! //Red and Purple stopped walking.//
Purple: Did you hear something?
Red: Probably not. C'mon, let's go. //Ros saw them walk out of her sight, but she was able to see their shadow walk out the of the room. She snuck out from around the computer and waited a few minutes to check and make sure that they were really gone. As soon as she was sure, she went back to work.//
Ros: Jeez, that was close!
Red: What are you doing here, Ros.
TO BE CONTINUED
Our story continues as.
//Ros's secret hideout was just discovered by Red.//
Ros: RED! Uh, what are you doing here?
Red: I think I asked you first! Wait a minute. yeah! I did ask you first! So spill! What are you doing here? //Red wiped off some oil off of her face.//
Ros: Things got so boring around Purple. I found this room by accident and started to fix some things up. //Red looked at the mega computer that she had fixed first and pointed at it.//
Red: You fixed that?
Ros: Yeah, but my favorite thing is over here! //She led him to the video phone where she had called Zim on.// I called Zim on this the other day, but he didn't answer.
Computer: Contacting: Invader ZIM.
Ros: No!
Computer: Location: Earth. //The ringing tone followed.//
Red: How do you shut it off?
Ros: I don't know! This is what happened last time! //On the screen appeared a picture of Zim.//
Zim: Hello! You have reached Invader Zim! Sorry I cannot come to the phone at the moment, but please leave and name and number and I will try to find time to call you later! //The screen changed to show a picture of Ros and Red with a little red dot in the top corner.//
//Back on earth, Zim is at skool in class before lunch.//
Teacher: And so, that is how jet propulsion was used in the fall of our last president. Moving right along. //Zim sighed and sulked low in his chair. His head got hit by a spitball. He instantly popped up and saw Dib holding a straw.// Do you find something amusing, Zim? //Zim turned around to see the horrible face of his History teacher.//
Zim: Sorry, I was momentarily distracted.
Teacher: You don't want to start the skool year off on the wrong start, do you Zim?
Zim: Of course not.
Teacher: Good. Now where was I? Oh yes. //The teacher continued with her speech while Zim eyed Dib evilly. The bell rung and Zim got out the room and headed for lunch. In the lunch room, Zim had fallen victim again to another one of the skool's grotesque meals.//
Zim: This is even worst than the stuff at the old skool. //Zim suddenly realized that there was another human near him. He turned around and saw Dib.//
Dib: What's the matter Zim? You're not your same alien I knew a few years ago.
Zim: What's it to you, earth stink?
Dib: Just shape up. You're no fun to stalk or take notes on if you don't do anything. //Dib took his lunch and walked off. Zim thought about that. Ever since Ros left, Zim didn't come up with or execute one plan to take over the earth. Even if the Purple did steal the only person he could have possibly cared for, he still had a mission to uphold.//
//Back on the Massive.//
Ros: Hey, Zim! Eh, how is it on earth? I'm, um, sorry that I didn't call sooner, I was, um. //She looked at Red hesitantly. Red nodded and walked away.// I don't know. Zim, I miss you. I want to go back to earth to be with you! I want to go to skool again! I want to play dodge ball again! //She gave a nervous laugh.// Ahem, anyways, I want to know how you're feeling, what you're up to, and even how Gir's doing. //There was a bell sounding.// Sorry. That's the lunch bell. I have to go. Bye. //She leaned across the desk that the computer was on and kissed the screen.// I'll call you back as soon as I can! I. I lo-- //The screen went black.// What happened?
Red: I dunno. I guess there's only a certain amount of time a recorded message can take.
Ros: You won't tell anyone, will you?
Red: MY lips are sealed. However, I think you are the one who should tell a certain Almighty Tallest about what's going on.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Our story continues as.
//Ros and Zim are both eating lunch in their worlds. Ros is sitting on a big table on a stage next to Purple and a bunch of other important Irkens. One Irken stood in front of table with a microphone. He faced the other invaders who were sitting on tables down on the floor.//
Irken: We have a few announcements to make. Firstly, there will be a mandatory donation for all of you to take part of. Secondly, there will be no gunfights during lunch whatsoever. Save them for afterwards. Don't fool us by thinking you're clever. //Ros giggled.//
Purple: What's so funny. //The Irken that was making the announcements turned and looked at Ros. He was upset that he was interrupted. All the other Irkens ended up looking at her, too.//
Ros: Um, nothing. It's just that he made a rhyme and I thought it was funny.
Purple: Rhyme? //Ros looked at him strangely, but then she remembered that they didn't have any songs or poems on Irk.//
Ros: A rhyme is when you have two or more words that sound the same. Like what he said. //She pointed to the Irken standing in the front of the table.// He rhymed ever with clever.
Purple: I think I get it. Where did you learn this?
Ros: On earth! They have entertainers there that sing rhymes and get paid a whole lot.
Red: Oh really? Why don't you give us an example? //Red smiled at her ominously. She gave him an angry look.//
Purple: I don't see why not! //Ros got really angry, but before she could talk back, she was forced in front of the stage. All the the hundreds of thousands of Irkens were staring at her waiting for her to sing. Ros hesitated.//
Ros: Um, this is dedicated to someone very close to me. //Ros cleared her throat and began. Her voice was lower and softer than normal. (I based this fic on two songs. This is one of 'em!)//
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile
There's a truth in your eyes
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is
Where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you
I have loved all along
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you
I have loved all along
Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes
Through my veins
And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into
Your perfect face
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you
I have loved all along
//Ros took a breath and bowed. The other Irkens where stunned and just stared at her. A voice in the audience spoke up.//
Voice: ROS ROCKS!!! //Ros turned around and the audience started to clap cheer. Even the Tallest gave her a standing ovation. Ros let out a happy laugh.//
Ros: Wow.
//Back on earth, lunch is almost over and Zim is walking around the lunch room with a few extra minutes to spare.//
Zim: Maybe that little Dib monkey was right. I should move on and quit thinking about Ros.
Dib: Thinking about who? //Zim turned around and saw Dib standing behind him. Gaz was standing with her back to the two playing her Game Slave.// Did I hear you say Ros? Is that the same Ros who was in our sixth grade class for one day three years ago? //Zim looked at him angrily.//
Zim: ::Maybe I should forget. It seems that an alien in love only attracts that pathetic earth worm. That's it. From now on no more thinking about Ros!::
//It is after school and Zim is at his base. He is sitting on the couch watching TV with Gir. They were watching a music station.//
VJ: Check it out, guys! We have a new hit coming right at you! Listen! (This is the second song!)
Song: See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember, darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me
//Zim cocked his eyebrow.//
Zim: Ros.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Our story continues as.
//Zim is pining over Ros in his base while Ros is pining over Zim at the Massive. (This next scene takes place a little earlier.) The scene is on Ros still sitting on the table eating. Purple kept on looking at her.//
Ros: Is there a problem?
Purple: I didn't know you felt that way about me.
Ros: Felt like what?
Purple: In your song. You said that this is where you belonged, and I am who you belonged with all this time. //Ros's face burned. The song was not directed toward Purple at all. A bell rung again and all the Irkens were dismissed. Red walked offstage. Ros followed him and Purple followed her. Purple reached out and grabbed Ros's shoulder. He put her up against a wall. Red had continued walking so he wasn't there and none of the other Irkens were around.// I think we're ready for the next stage of our relationship.
Ros: The next stage of what? //Purple bent down and kissed her sweetly. He bent back up and walked towards the exit that Red took. Ros ran off in the opposite direction.//
Purple: I'll be seeing you around. //Ros stood in shock.//
//Back on earth, Zim is still watching the music channel. (This takes place in the current time.) The doorbell rings. Zim reluctantly gets up and answers it. Dib was at the door.//
Zim: What do you want, Dib monkey?
Dib: For the past three years, you have been acting very mellow, very plain. That alien Ros that came by had to be important to you, am I right? //Zim growled at him.// Do you know what I think, Zim? //Zim growled at him again.//
Zim: What.
Dib: You should go get her. //Zim's head perked up.// You heard me. You should go back to get her. Sweep her off her feet. Make her like you! //A red light went on in the back of Zim's house.//
Zim: I'm sorry Dib, but I must go. I probably won't be a skool tomorrow. //Zim shut the door. Dib was left outside all alone. He turned around with a small smile on his face. Back inside, Zim was in his lab in front of his computer. He pressed a button and Ros appeared on the screen. Her eyes widened.//
Ros: Zim? Zim is that you?
Zim: Ros? //Zim stared at the picture and smiled.//
Ros: Oh my God, I haven't seen you in the longest time! How are you?
Zim: Perfect, now at least.
Ros: Things have been so weird here! I found this room filled with old junk and I fixed and souped everything up! It was awesome! But you'll never guess what happened just just after lunch!
Zim: Wait, I wanna tell you something really quick, I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to-- //The screen went black. Ros stared at the screen in rage.//
Ros: What happened, now? //She banged the side of the moniter but nothing happened. She turned around and looked at her computer. The screen was black, too.// ::Power outage.:: //The computer screen came back on, but the rest of the room was black.// ::Thank goodness and put in that power backup chip.:: //Two huge doors open on the opposite side of the room. They revealed the vast void of outer space. Ros ran to the door, but it was locked. She could hear to Irkens talking from behind it.
Irken: How long do you think till this junk gets cleared out.
Other Irken: I dunno. I give it a minute. //Ros ran up to her computer. Bit of pieces of trash were being sucked out. She was holding onto the computer so she wouldn't be pushed out, too.//
Ros: Computer! Launch the Voot Cruiser and have come around to pick me up!
Computer: Alright. //A chute came down that presented a smaller voot cruiser that looked like Zim's except edgier. The windshield opened and Ros jumped in. She piloted her was out of the room and into space. She flew around the Massive.//
Ros: Whoa, that thing's bigger than I remembered. //She looked in the opposite direction where all you could see were stars and planets.// The bad thing about space is that there sure is a lot of it. //She flew away from the Massive and towards the great beyond. She only looked back once.// ::I wish I could've told Red good bye.:: //The scene changes to Red and Purple in Purple's room playing a video game. They are madly wiggling joysticks and pressing buttons on the controller.//
Red: EAT ALMIGHTY TALLEST DUST!
Purple: Yeah, right! Take that! //An explosion sound comes from TV.//
Red: Aw, NO! //He puts his hands over his face and slumps down while Purple laughs at him. Red lifted his head.// Did something shake just now?
Purple: Yeah, your quivering fears!
Red: No, no. I mean really. I thought I feel the room shake. //Red got up and looked outside.//
Purple: Don't worry about it. I just gave the garbage people the go ahead on tossing all that old computer equipment in the dump room. I didn't see anything we could have used in there, anyways. Did you? //Purple moved his head to look at Red, but he wasn't in the room. Purple shrugged and continued playing the video game.//
(There was actually more to this chapter, but it would have made it too long. Plus, it's 10:30 and I wanna stop for the day.) TO BE CONTINUED!!!
Our story continues as.
//Zim's video phone just turned off after a short conversation with Ros.//
Zim: What! What happened! Why did it turn off? Computer!
Computer: What is it now?
Zim: Find out what happened with the video phone!
Computer: Power outage at source.
Zim: Power outage? The electricity must have gone out. No matter, I'll go ahead and go to the Massive. I can't stay around and wait for her to call me back. GIR! //Gir fell down from the ceiling. He instantly popped up and saluted.//
Gir: Yes, master?
Zim: We're going to visit the Massive to take Ros back!
Gir: Oh, Rossy! //Gir opened up his stomach, took out a heart shape, and handed it to Zim. Zim looked at it. It was a paper heart with a picture of Ros taped to it.//
Zim: Yes. We're going to find her and bring her back to my base! //Zim shoved the picture into his pack. He walked to an elevator with Gir that lifted them to the voot cruiser base. They walked into the ship and sat down. Zim pressed some buttons and the cruiser took off.// Alright, here's the game plan. We go into the Massive, get Ros, and go back home. //Gir nodded.// Okay! We're off! //Zim's ship disappeared from sight in a flash of light. Meanwhile, back on earth, Dib is on the roof of his house watching Zim leave.//
Dib: So he's finally getting her. //Gaz was sitting on the bench of the patio.//
Gaz: What was that? //Dib was surprised of hearing her and fell off the roof. Back with Ros.//
Ros: Computer, how long does it take to get to earth?
Computer: Approximate time: Six Months.
Ros: SIX MONTHS! I can't wait that long! //She looks at the control board and presses a button.// The ought to it! //She starts moving a warp speed and her lips start to pull back. She reached for another button, which brought the cruiser back to its original speed.// How much longer now?
Computer: Five months, three weeks, six days, and 9 hours. //Ros groaned. Hyper speed didn't make things go by much faster. She decided to watch TV to pass time. Back in. a part in space closer to earth.//
Zim: I really don't see how the Tallest's ship goes so fast but it's ten times bigger. Now I have to wait another six months to see her again. //Zim turned on the TV. It's the same thing that Ros is watching in her cruiser. Soon, both of them fall asleep at the same time. The TV starts to get fuzzy and another alien appears on it. Zim and Ros both wake after hearing the sound change.//
Ros: Eh, what happened to the monkey.
Alien 1 (he'll get a name later): Are you sure it's alright to use this channel?
Alien 2 (he will, too): Trust me. Nobody ever watches this TV show, anyways.
Alien 3 (you can guess he'll get a name as well): We will show the Irken race no mercy. The Tallest shall suffer a most painful death. All the Irkens will soon learn to obey the rule of the-- //The screen got fuzzy and then it changed back to the monkey show. Meanwhile, back on earth, Dib had thrown off his headphones that were connected to laptop.//
Zim, Ros, and Dib: I have to stop them!
THE END! part 3 comin' soon!

She lifted it up to reveal that her face was oily and even had some scratches on it.// Why didn't I say anything? //She wiped her face off with a rag and moved on to a different project. Suddenly, she heard the door open and light filled the room. She instantly hid behind a computer.//
Irken: Just look around and see if there's anything that you want, sir.
Red: Alright. //Red floated around and looked at some of the junk that Ros had been fixing. Ros spied on him from behind some chips.// You know, none of this really looks half bad. Why was it thrown away, again? //A shadow appeared behind Red.//
Purple: Yeah, ya know we don't have the funding to throw away perfectly good. //Purple picked up a portable videophone that Ros had finished and examined it.// .Junk.
Red: I don't see anything too special here. Go ahead and throw it out.//
Ros: //Under her breath.// No! //Red and Purple stopped walking.//
Purple: Did you hear something?
Red: Probably not. C'mon, let's go. //Ros saw them walk out of her sight, but she was able to see their shadow walk out the of the room. She snuck out from around the computer and waited a few minutes to check and make sure that they were really gone. As soon as she was sure, she went back to work.//
Ros: Jeez, that was close!
Red: What are you doing here, Ros.
TO BE CONTINUED
Our story continues as.
//Ros's secret hideout was just discovered by Red.//
Ros: RED! Uh, what are you doing here?
Red: I think I asked you first! Wait a minute. yeah! I did ask you first! So spill! What are you doing here? //Red wiped off some oil off of her face.//
Ros: Things got so boring around Purple. I found this room by accident and started to fix some things up. //Red looked at the mega computer that she had fixed first and pointed at it.//
Red: You fixed that?
Ros: Yeah, but my favorite thing is over here! //She led him to the video phone where she had called Zim on.// I called Zim on this the other day, but he didn't answer.
Computer: Contacting: Invader ZIM.
Ros: No!
Computer: Location: Earth. //The ringing tone followed.//
Red: How do you shut it off?
Ros: I don't know! This is what happened last time! //On the screen appeared a picture of Zim.//
Zim: Hello! You have reached Invader Zim! Sorry I cannot come to the phone at the moment, but please leave and name and number and I will try to find time to call you later! //The screen changed to show a picture of Ros and Red with a little red dot in the top corner.//
//Back on earth, Zim is at skool in class before lunch.//
Teacher: And so, that is how jet propulsion was used in the fall of our last president. Moving right along. //Zim sighed and sulked low in his chair. His head got hit by a spitball. He instantly popped up and saw Dib holding a straw.// Do you find something amusing, Zim? //Zim turned around to see the horrible face of his History teacher.//
Zim: Sorry, I was momentarily distracted.
Teacher: You don't want to start the skool year off on the wrong start, do you Zim?
Zim: Of course not.
Teacher: Good. Now where was I? Oh yes. //The teacher continued with her speech while Zim eyed Dib evilly. The bell rung and Zim got out the room and headed for lunch. In the lunch room, Zim had fallen victim again to another one of the skool's grotesque meals.//
Zim: This is even worst than the stuff at the old skool. //Zim suddenly realized that there was another human near him. He turned around and saw Dib.//
Dib: What's the matter Zim? You're not your same alien I knew a few years ago.
Zim: What's it to you, earth stink?
Dib: Just shape up. You're no fun to stalk or take notes on if you don't do anything. //Dib took his lunch and walked off. Zim thought about that. Ever since Ros left, Zim didn't come up with or execute one plan to take over the earth. Even if the Purple did steal the only person he could have possibly cared for, he still had a mission to uphold.//
//Back on the Massive.//
Ros: Hey, Zim! Eh, how is it on earth? I'm, um, sorry that I didn't call sooner, I was, um. //She looked at Red hesitantly. Red nodded and walked away.// I don't know. Zim, I miss you. I want to go back to earth to be with you! I want to go to skool again! I want to play dodge ball again! //She gave a nervous laugh.// Ahem, anyways, I want to know how you're feeling, what you're up to, and even how Gir's doing. //There was a bell sounding.// Sorry. That's the lunch bell. I have to go. Bye. //She leaned across the desk that the computer was on and kissed the screen.// I'll call you back as soon as I can! I. I lo-- //The screen went black.// What happened?
Red: I dunno. I guess there's only a certain amount of time a recorded message can take.
Ros: You won't tell anyone, will you?
Red: MY lips are sealed. However, I think you are the one who should tell a certain Almighty Tallest about what's going on.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Our story continues as.
//Ros and Zim are both eating lunch in their worlds. Ros is sitting on a big table on a stage next to Purple and a bunch of other important Irkens. One Irken stood in front of table with a microphone. He faced the other invaders who were sitting on tables down on the floor.//
Irken: We have a few announcements to make. Firstly, there will be a mandatory donation for all of you to take part of. Secondly, there will be no gunfights during lunch whatsoever. Save them for afterwards. Don't fool us by thinking you're clever. //Ros giggled.//
Purple: What's so funny. //The Irken that was making the announcements turned and looked at Ros. He was upset that he was interrupted. All the other Irkens ended up looking at her, too.//
Ros: Um, nothing. It's just that he made a rhyme and I thought it was funny.
Purple: Rhyme? //Ros looked at him strangely, but then she remembered that they didn't have any songs or poems on Irk.//
Ros: A rhyme is when you have two or more words that sound the same. Like what he said. //She pointed to the Irken standing in the front of the table.// He rhymed ever with clever.
Purple: I think I get it. Where did you learn this?
Ros: On earth! They have entertainers there that sing rhymes and get paid a whole lot.
Red: Oh really? Why don't you give us an example? //Red smiled at her ominously. She gave him an angry look.//
Purple: I don't see why not! //Ros got really angry, but before she could talk back, she was forced in front of the stage. All the the hundreds of thousands of Irkens were staring at her waiting for her to sing. Ros hesitated.//
Ros: Um, this is dedicated to someone very close to me. //Ros cleared her throat and began. Her voice was lower and softer than normal. (I based this fic on two songs. This is one of 'em!)//
There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile
There's a truth in your eyes
But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is
Where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you
I have loved all along
There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you
But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you
I have loved all along
Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes
Through my veins
And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into
Your perfect face
It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart
Searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you
I have loved all along
//Ros took a breath and bowed. The other Irkens where stunned and just stared at her. A voice in the audience spoke up.//
Voice: ROS ROCKS!!! //Ros turned around and the audience started to clap cheer. Even the Tallest gave her a standing ovation. Ros let out a happy laugh.//
Ros: Wow.
//Back on earth, lunch is almost over and Zim is walking around the lunch room with a few extra minutes to spare.//
Zim: Maybe that little Dib monkey was right. I should move on and quit thinking about Ros.
Dib: Thinking about who? //Zim turned around and saw Dib standing behind him. Gaz was standing with her back to the two playing her Game Slave.// Did I hear you say Ros? Is that the same Ros who was in our sixth grade class for one day three years ago? //Zim looked at him angrily.//
Zim: ::Maybe I should forget. It seems that an alien in love only attracts that pathetic earth worm. That's it. From now on no more thinking about Ros!::
//It is after school and Zim is at his base. He is sitting on the couch watching TV with Gir. They were watching a music station.//
VJ: Check it out, guys! We have a new hit coming right at you! Listen! (This is the second song!)
Song: See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise
From the tropic isle
Just remember, darling
All the while
You belong to me
See the marketplace in old Algiers
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember
When a dream appears
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me
And I'll be so alone without you
Maybe you'll be lonesome too
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle
When it's wet with rain
Just remember
Till you're home again
You belong to me
//Zim cocked his eyebrow.//
Zim: Ros.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Our story continues as.
//Zim is pining over Ros in his base while Ros is pining over Zim at the Massive. (This next scene takes place a little earlier.) The scene is on Ros still sitting on the table eating. Purple kept on looking at her.//
Ros: Is there a problem?
Purple: I didn't know you felt that way about me.
Ros: Felt like what?
Purple: In your song. You said that this is where you belonged, and I am who you belonged with all this time. //Ros's face burned. The song was not directed toward Purple at all. A bell rung again and all the Irkens were dismissed. Red walked offstage. Ros followed him and Purple followed her. Purple reached out and grabbed Ros's shoulder. He put her up against a wall. Red had continued walking so he wasn't there and none of the other Irkens were around.// I think we're ready for the next stage of our relationship.
Ros: The next stage of what? //Purple bent down and kissed her sweetly. He bent back up and walked towards the exit that Red took. Ros ran off in the opposite direction.//
Purple: I'll be seeing you around. //Ros stood in shock.//
//Back on earth, Zim is still watching the music channel. (This takes place in the current time.) The doorbell rings. Zim reluctantly gets up and answers it. Dib was at the door.//
Zim: What do you want, Dib monkey?
Dib: For the past three years, you have been acting very mellow, very plain. That alien Ros that came by had to be important to you, am I right? //Zim growled at him.// Do you know what I think, Zim? //Zim growled at him again.//
Zim: What.
Dib: You should go get her. //Zim's head perked up.// You heard me. You should go back to get her. Sweep her off her feet. Make her like you! //A red light went on in the back of Zim's house.//
Zim: I'm sorry Dib, but I must go. I probably won't be a skool tomorrow. //Zim shut the door. Dib was left outside all alone. He turned around with a small smile on his face. Back inside, Zim was in his lab in front of his computer. He pressed a button and Ros appeared on the screen. Her eyes widened.//
Ros: Zim? Zim is that you?
Zim: Ros? //Zim stared at the picture and smiled.//
Ros: Oh my God, I haven't seen you in the longest time! How are you?
Zim: Perfect, now at least.
Ros: Things have been so weird here! I found this room filled with old junk and I fixed and souped everything up! It was awesome! But you'll never guess what happened just just after lunch!
Zim: Wait, I wanna tell you something really quick, I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to-- //The screen went black. Ros stared at the screen in rage.//
Ros: What happened, now? //She banged the side of the moniter but nothing happened. She turned around and looked at her computer. The screen was black, too.// ::Power outage.:: //The computer screen came back on, but the rest of the room was black.// ::Thank goodness and put in that power backup chip.:: //Two huge doors open on the opposite side of the room. They revealed the vast void of outer space. Ros ran to the door, but it was locked. She could hear to Irkens talking from behind it.
Irken: How long do you think till this junk gets cleared out.
Other Irken: I dunno. I give it a minute. //Ros ran up to her computer. Bit of pieces of trash were being sucked out. She was holding onto the computer so she wouldn't be pushed out, too.//
Ros: Computer! Launch the Voot Cruiser and have come around to pick me up!
Computer: Alright. //A chute came down that presented a smaller voot cruiser that looked like Zim's except edgier. The windshield opened and Ros jumped in. She piloted her was out of the room and into space. She flew around the Massive.//
Ros: Whoa, that thing's bigger than I remembered. //She looked in the opposite direction where all you could see were stars and planets.// The bad thing about space is that there sure is a lot of it. //She flew away from the Massive and towards the great beyond. She only looked back once.// ::I wish I could've told Red good bye.:: //The scene changes to Red and Purple in Purple's room playing a video game. They are madly wiggling joysticks and pressing buttons on the controller.//
Red: EAT ALMIGHTY TALLEST DUST!
Purple: Yeah, right! Take that! //An explosion sound comes from TV.//
Red: Aw, NO! //He puts his hands over his face and slumps down while Purple laughs at him. Red lifted his head.// Did something shake just now?
Purple: Yeah, your quivering fears!
Red: No, no. I mean really. I thought I feel the room shake. //Red got up and looked outside.//
Purple: Don't worry about it. I just gave the garbage people the go ahead on tossing all that old computer equipment in the dump room. I didn't see anything we could have used in there, anyways. Did you? //Purple moved his head to look at Red, but he wasn't in the room. Purple shrugged and continued playing the video game.//
(There was actually more to this chapter, but it would have made it too long. Plus, it's 10:30 and I wanna stop for the day.) TO BE CONTINUED!!!
Our story continues as.
//Zim's video phone just turned off after a short conversation with Ros.//
Zim: What! What happened! Why did it turn off? Computer!
Computer: What is it now?
Zim: Find out what happened with the video phone!
Computer: Power outage at source.
Zim: Power outage? The electricity must have gone out. No matter, I'll go ahead and go to the Massive. I can't stay around and wait for her to call me back. GIR! //Gir fell down from the ceiling. He instantly popped up and saluted.//
Gir: Yes, master?
Zim: We're going to visit the Massive to take Ros back!
Gir: Oh, Rossy! //Gir opened up his stomach, took out a heart shape, and handed it to Zim. Zim looked at it. It was a paper heart with a picture of Ros taped to it.//
Zim: Yes. We're going to find her and bring her back to my base! //Zim shoved the picture into his pack. He walked to an elevator with Gir that lifted them to the voot cruiser base. They walked into the ship and sat down. Zim pressed some buttons and the cruiser took off.// Alright, here's the game plan. We go into the Massive, get Ros, and go back home. //Gir nodded.// Okay! We're off! //Zim's ship disappeared from sight in a flash of light. Meanwhile, back on earth, Dib is on the roof of his house watching Zim leave.//
Dib: So he's finally getting her. //Gaz was sitting on the bench of the patio.//
Gaz: What was that? //Dib was surprised of hearing her and fell off the roof. Back with Ros.//
Ros: Computer, how long does it take to get to earth?
Computer: Approximate time: Six Months.
Ros: SIX MONTHS! I can't wait that long! //She looks at the control board and presses a button.// The ought to it! //She starts moving a warp speed and her lips start to pull back. She reached for another button, which brought the cruiser back to its original speed.// How much longer now?
Computer: Five months, three weeks, six days, and 9 hours. //Ros groaned. Hyper speed didn't make things go by much faster. She decided to watch TV to pass time. Back in. a part in space closer to earth.//
Zim: I really don't see how the Tallest's ship goes so fast but it's ten times bigger. Now I have to wait another six months to see her again. //Zim turned on the TV. It's the same thing that Ros is watching in her cruiser. Soon, both of them fall asleep at the same time. The TV starts to get fuzzy and another alien appears on it. Zim and Ros both wake after hearing the sound change.//
Ros: Eh, what happened to the monkey.
Alien 1 (he'll get a name later): Are you sure it's alright to use this channel?
Alien 2 (he will, too): Trust me. Nobody ever watches this TV show, anyways.
Alien 3 (you can guess he'll get a name as well): We will show the Irken race no mercy. The Tallest shall suffer a most painful death. All the Irkens will soon learn to obey the rule of the-- //The screen got fuzzy and then it changed back to the monkey show. Meanwhile, back on earth, Dib had thrown off his headphones that were connected to laptop.//
Zim, Ros, and Dib: I have to stop them!
THE END! part 3 comin' soon!
