The duo slept snug and peacefully, Gaz's head rested on the Irken's chest while she snored and Zim's claws were entwined in the Earth girl's hair. It wasn't until the ship's alarms started going off that they began to stir groggily. Gaz grumbled as she blinked her eyes open to try and wake herself up. She tried to move but had her head yanked back, instantly irritating her "Zim! Let go of my hair you douchebag!"
A loud snore was the only response, she forcefully removed the claws from her skull and shoved his arm back. She scooted back into her seat, and immediately missed the warmth from his body much to her own dismay. She shivered feeling the harsh chills from space and was annoyed with the blaring alarm and flashing red lights "Computer what's the problem?" She asked.
"We will be exiting the wormhole now, during which time the autopilot will disabled" it informed.
Gaz sighed "Well I'm up and I got this! Now turn off the stupid alarms!"
"Are you suuuure you've got this? I don't know... I'd feel better if Zim was awake" it expressed.
Gaz grumbled and turned to Zim. His head was tilted back with his mouth open and tongue sticking out, every once in a while his left antenna would twitch and his leg would shake "He looks like a dog having a dream" she thought giggling to herself. Her eyes widened and she shook her head "Zim wake your ass up! These stupid alarms are driving me crazy!"
Zim continued snoring "Zim... doesn't...have...an ass" he mumbled.
She growled and began to tug at his antennae violently causing him to jolt and scream.
"AHHHHH!!!! GET OFF OF ME VILE WOMAN!!!" He shrieked
She smirked "Oh good you're awake NOW HANDLE YOUR STUPID SHIP!"
Zim rubbed his aching antennae with a pout "Zim's ship is not stupid! Your voice is stupid!" He retorted
"That's rich coming from YOU!" she snapped
Zim began to work on disabling the alarms and auto pilot. Gaz sighed with relief once the noise stopped only for Zim to disturb her once again "ZIM'S VOICE IS MIGHTY AND POWERFUL! YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE YOUR VOICE IS BARELY AUDIBLE!" he screamed.
Gaz's face cringed as she held back the urge to punch him in his huge mouth "I'm not quiet you're just deaf from all your screaming and explosions!"
Zim hissed "I cannot wait to drop you off at this wretched planet!"
Gaz huffed "I was thinking the same thing!"
"Exiting wormhole in ten seconds" the computer informed
Zim growled "You're distracting me! I need to increase our speed in order to avoid being sucked into the surrounding wormholes when we exit" he began quickly flipping switches and pulling levels. He pressed a button that locked Gaz and himself painfully tight into the seats.
"Hey! This is too tight!" Gaz complained
"It is necessary so your feeble human body doesn't get thrown out from the impact!" He explained and pulled back a lever that thust the ship into hyperspeed. The two were thrown back into their seats unable to do much besides grip onto their sides for dear life.
Soon they exited into a new brighter galaxy. Zim waited until they were a good distance away from the other wormholes around before slowing down. Once he did the seats released them from their compressed hold and they both sighed in relief. Gaz gasped as she looked out the window, instantly recognizing the space around her. It was almost blinding compared to the blackout belt, stars glittered across the purple sky, strange floating space stations were in various places and straight ahead lied the infamous space prison Moo ping 10. Zim cackled "FINALLY! We just need to make a quick stop ahead and then we can stop at the Planet Ruxury where you can get your pathetic rest!"
Gaz growled "Yeah and I'll finally get some space from YOU!"
Zim ignored her and continued ahead snickering to himself all the while. Gaz huffed and pulled out her gameslave to kill time. She found it hard to concentrate however with Zim's constant clicking of buttons and laughter. "DAMN ZIM! YOU CAN'T EVEN DRIVE QUIETLY! STOP MOVING AROUND SO MUCH IT'S IRRITATING!" she growled
"No can do little insect! Unlike you I have business! SO MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS! just keep playing your little game like the sentient creature you are!" He laughed
"Sure you do" she rolled her eyes and continued playing "You know you kinda look like the Vampire Piggy Slayer"
"Eeh? Lemme me see!" He insisted
She paused the game and pointed to the tall green figure holding a sword "See he even has your eye color" she laughed
Zim grabbed the console and studied the figure "Hmm HMMM hmmm... It is obvious that the person that designed this game was INSPIRED by Zim! HOWEVER! I AM STILL SUPERIOR!" he shouted and pointed to his eyes.
"Be careful with that! I only brought one with me!" She warned and snatched it back from him.
Zim's face twisted into a devious smile "Geez you really LOVE that thing don't you little Gaz?"
He was met with an annoyed grunt and absolutely zero eye contact. "Ignore me all you want, ungrateful fool! But I now know your weakness!" He screamed
"Just hurry up and do your 'business' so we can get out of this shitty contraption already!" She yelled
"Computer! activate gloating mode 5.0!" Zim commanded
"Activating!" The AI obeyed.
A new monitor rose from the control console, two enormous loudspeakers emerged from the sides of the ship and a large flashing sign that read "Greetings Losers!" Sprang from the top of the Voot Cruiser. Zim cackled and zoomed to the entrance of the prison with a grin. He was met by a guard that floated over to his side of the ship "Hello Zim, what's it going to be today?" He asked
"I'm here to pay my freedom fees and I think today I'll take the extra humiliating gloating special!" He answered while handing him his card.
The guard inserted it into his atm like machine which printed a receipt he handed back to him "Okie dokie sir! You're all caught up on your prisoner and freedom fees, would you be interested in our lifetime special for frequent customers?"
Zim's eyes widened "OOH what's that?"
"Instead of paying monthly for the holding of your prisoners you only pay once every ten rotations for the small small price of 10,000 schormacks" he answered
Zim tapped his claws on the side of his face as he pondered the offer "Tempting! Verrry tempting! Perhaps on my way back from Arcademageddon I'll take you up on the offer"
"ARCADEMAGEDDON? Well it was nice knowing you sir!" The guard saluted.
"Of course it's nice to know me! I am ZIM!" he declared.
"As for the gloating special, are you going to do that the usual way or drive thru?"
Zim waved him off "Drive thru today please, I have a schedule to keep"
"Alright enjoy your time tormenting sir!" The guard then pressed a button on the wall which separated the prison in half, allowing the ship to be able to drive past all the surrounding prison cells. Gaz took a break from slaughtering her vampire pigs to see all the various enemies Zim had locked up. They were pushed into the glass, collared and cuffed with looks of scorn blatant on each of their faces… she couldn't help but snicker.
Zim laughed maniacally into the microphone "HELLO SLAVES! IT IS I YOUR MASTER! ZIIIIM! REMINDING YOU ONCE MORE THAT YOU ARE BENEATH ME!!! THAT'S RIGHT FOOLS! LOOK UPON YOUR CAPTOR WITH HATRED IN YOUR FOOLISH EYES! KNOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE FREEDOM UNLESS I FEEL LIKE GIVING IT TO YOU MUHAHAHAHA!!!!"
Gaz was tempted to take her phone out and record the whole thing. The look on their faces was priceless and the fact that it was Zim of all people that took them all out was hilarious to her. One of the prisoners was a small blue guy with horns on his head that banged on the glass rapidly before being zapped by a guard. Zim seemed to have mercy on the guy as he stopped in front of him "Ah yes 777! What is it slave?" He asked
The poor little Vortian picked himself off the ground "H-Hey Zim? Good to see you" he stuttered
"Of course it is!" Zim scoffed
"May I ask if my children are ok?" He asked timidly
Zim looked at him confused "Eeh? What now?"
"My children?! The ones you threaten to erase all the time?" He began to sweat
Zim snapped his fingers "OH! right! Those things! Yes yes they're fine!"
The Vortian smiled "Do you think you can bring them with you next time?"
Zim shrugged "Meh!" He drove ahead to the next cells. Most of which were various aliens that didn't stick out to Gaz until they passed by a Chihuahua.
"Really Zim? A puppy? What did that dog ever do to you?" She laughed
Zim trembled looking at the vile beast "CAN YOU NOT SEE THE MADNESS IN IT'S EYES!? You should be thanking me! This beast was on Earth! Just WAITING for the perfect time to strike!"
Gaz giggled "Oh yes! Thank you mighty Zim from saving me from the big bad puppy"
"YOU'RE WELCOME! ungrateful she-beast" he grumbled.
Further towards the exit, Gaz recognized this prisoner immediately. The familiar green Irken was pushed to the glass with a grunt. Her face twisted into a scowl and purple eyes full of hate. Zim waved to her condescendingly "Well HELLO TAK!!! ENJOYING YOUR NEW ROOM!? MUHAHAHAHA!!!!" He cackled
She snarled "LAUGH ALL YOU WANT ZIM! YOU'RE STILL AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL IR- AHHHHH!!!" She shrieked, getting a shock from the guards behind her.
"Silence prisoner! You know the rules!" The guard scolded
Zim grinned "THAT'S RIGHT TAK! YOU DON'T GET TO TALK BACK MUHAHAHA!"
Gaz smirked, feeling an odd satisfaction seeing the girl who betrayed her brother's trust in such a miserable state. She snagged the microphone from Zim "Have fun getting fried you catfishing slut!" She waved
Zim burst into laughter and grabbed the mic back "YES! YOU ARE A CATFISH AND A SLUT MUHAHAHA!"
After a long fit of laughter, he turned to Gaz and whispered "I did not know your cats could turn into fish and reproduce".
Gaz shook her head and sighed "I'll explain it later"
Gretchen rushed home and locked the door behind her. She giggled and blushed "Oh my gosh! A whole week alone with Dib? In space?" Her heart was beating so fast and she took deep breaths to try and calm herself down. "Ok Gretch! This isn't THAT big of a deal! You overthink this then you'll screw this up!" She got a buzz on her cellphone, she pulled it out and saw a text from her father.
"Sorry kid, I have to work overtime tonight, make sure you lock the doors and don't answer the door for ANYONE, not even the Amazon guy! Seriously! love you kid"
She sighed "I love you too dad, damn it he's going to be so worried!" She wrote him back, deciding to tell him the truth.
"Hey dad it's ok, I'll be going away with an old friend of mine for a week so don't worry love you!" She wrote back.
"A week!!!! What friend? Gretchen, this better be a joke!"
She gasped and left her phone behind "Sorry dad, but it's not like I'll get good reception in space anyway" she sighed.
Meanwhile Dib rushed upstairs to his room and frantically packed his alien hunting briefcase full of any and all things he thought he might need. He wondered briefly if he should dare to raid his father's lab, to see if there was any new invention that may help him subdue Zim. He made his way downstairs and hesitantated "Nah! I'm going to be in enough trouble as it is!" He decided to avoid any more problems and zoomed back to the ship. He threw his things inside and strapped himself in "OKAY SHIP! LET'S GO GET MY SISTER BACK!" he shouted excitedly.
The ship spun around "You mean you just wanna ditch that girl? That's not very nice!"
"It's for her own good! Besides, I don't even know her!" Dib shouted
"Really? She acted like she knew YOU, but regardless no one ghosts a girl on MY watch! Heeee!" The ship sang.
Dib grunted and grit his teeth "OH COME ON! She'll be here any minute! Space is dangerous let's just go!"
"Alllll the more reason you shouldn't go alone! As a matter of fact... You are not alone " The ship blasted the song on it's speakers. Gir began to dance and sing along
"I AM HERE WITH YOUUUUUU!" he screamed with his hands in the air.
Dib began to sweat "Ughhh maybe you should stay here and uhh". The robot ignored him and jumped beside him inside the ship happily, singing the blaring song obnoxiously. Dib cringed "This is going to be horrible"
Gretchen opened the garage door at that moment. She carried with her a medium sized travel bag. She was saying something but Dib couldn't hear her over the song and Gir. She shrugged it off and put her things in the side opening she assumed was a type of trunk. She carefully entered the ship beside Dib avoiding eye contact with him while she strapped herself in.
"HIIIIII PRETTY LADY!" Gir screamed
"H-Hi little robot" she laughed
The ship closed the windshield and sound around "Okay kids! You ready to gooooo?" He asked
Dib pouted "I guess!"
"Alright let's goooo!" The ship sang and took off suddenly, sending the two back in their seats while the tiny robot companion screamed with delight. They screamed as their stomach tingled, the ship zooming higher and higher into the air not allowing time for their bodies to adjust. "Ok kids it's gonna get rough because we're breaking through the atmosphere! heee!"
"It's BEEN ROUGH!" Dib shouted
"Dib I'm scared!" Gretchen whined.
"AWWW IT'S OK LADY! JUST HOLD ONTO TO BIG HEAD'S HAND!" Gir shouted and grabbed both of their hands, making them hold onto each other.
Gretchen's face turned a bright red and she turned away, Dib growled at the robot and stared ahead. Once they broke through the Earth's atmosphere the ship stopped to give them a break.
"Everyone alright?
They took a deep breath and held their chests. Dib looked over to Gretchen "Are you okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm ok, that was intense though!" She breathed
Dib laughed "Yeah it's really rough, especially if it's your first time in space".
The two shared an awkward laugh and turned away from each other.
Gir giggled "I wanna do it again! Let's go back!"
"No no no no no no no!" Dib shouted "We have to find Zim!"
"Hee! That's right! Hang tight children, we have to pass through a dangerous area to get there!" The ship warned
"Wonderful!" Dib groaned
Gretchen's eyes widened and she looked out her window, feeling her stomach twist when she discovered the earth was far from view "Damn how far did we go?" She asked
"Ohhh about 238,900 miles from earth! No biggie! hee!" The ship answered
Her face turned white and she gulped before Dib tapped her on the shoulder making her jump "Ahh!"
He smiled at her "I know it's intense at first, but you'll get used to it"
She took a deep breath "Thanks Dib! It's just so… intimidating!"
He chuckled softly "Yeah I know"
The ship made a whirring noise and activated a shield around it before continuing forward at a more comfortable speed. "It's always scary drifting into new territory but I won't let anything to youuu… allow me to ease the tension with a little song!"
Dib cringed "Please no"
Gir screamed "YESSS ROCK WITH YOU! ROOOOCK WITH YOUUUU!"
"Rock with you it is! Heee! " The ship began to play it's music much to Gir's delight and Dib's misery.
Dib growled and threw his head back.
"Calm down Dib, it's a good song! At least he isn't blasting WAP!" Gretchen laughed
"NOW THAT would be a nightmare!" Dib shouted
Gretchen giggled at him but swiftly covered her mouth and looked away. Trusting that the ship knew what it was doing, Dib followed suit and decided to stare out his window. He noticed there were less and less stars the deeper they went "Did Zim really have to take her this far?" He whispered to himself " I hope she's ok"
"Gaz is no pushover Dib, I'm sure she's ok" Gretchen spoke.
Dib turned around "Gaz is tough yeah! But even she would die if Zim crashed their ship in the middle of space!" He stressed
Gretchen frowned "Yeah that's true, but I'm sure the ship would've detected something like that if it happened"
The ship bleeped and spun around "That's right Dib! I wouldn't let y'all go on a wild goose chase! Hee! As a matter of fact I'm following Zim's extract trail! Each Irken ship has its own distinct energy signature! And Zim's Voot cruiser leads straight towards the wormhole we need! Ohhhhh!"
Dib sighed "That's a relief!"
"See? Zim wouldn't risk killing himself! Gaz is gonna be just fine!" Gretchen beamed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," he said and finally let himself relax in his chair.
For a moment they drifted further into space in awkward silence, if you ignored the constant singing of the ship anyway. Every once in a while Gretchen would glance at Dib, just to quickly turn away when he would look back. Gir began snoring and snuggled against Dib's shoulder. Dib finally decided to break the silence "Gretchen, how do you know Zim anyways? And how do you know about Irken technology?" He asked
Gretchen scoffed "Dib I've been going to school with you and Zim for years! How wouldn't I know Zim?"
"Not uh! I don't remember you at all! And I don't forget a face!" Dib denied
Gretchen growled "Dib! Do you seriously not remember me? You don't remember when we beat the lice queen? When Zim's crazy dog ate all the Halloween candy and you just appeared inside out out of nowhere? Or how about all those debates we had about Ms. bitters origins?" She rambled
Dib gasped "No… way!, You're THAT Gretchen?! You look so different!"
She huffed and turned away "I got my braces taken out but I didn't think I looked that different"
Dib scratched his head, feeling guilty "I'm sorry Gretchen I'm just surprised! And that still doesn't explain how you know about Irken technology!"
"Zim constantly experimented on me, he was convinced that my braces were some crazy secret weapon" she giggled "He was always interrupted by the robot guy here and when he was distracted I would look around"
"He just let you look around!?" Dib asked
"No, I snuck out of my restraints and looked around myself and when I heard him get closer I would just go back before he noticed" she explained
"Gotta say Gretch, I'm surprised you survived that '' Dib said, his hand on his chin and his eyes darted to the left "You're lucky! Most of Zim's victims have terrible things happen to their brains!"
"All I had to do was ACT like a brainless zombie and he would kick me out" she laughed.
Dib laughed "Yeah that does sound like something he would fall for!"
The two continued their shared laughter until Gir began to stir. They both instantly stopped and looked away from each other.
"Soooo… what are your plans for after graduation?" Gretchen asked
"Well to be honest I'm not sure, my dad INSISTS that I go to a school of his choice! So for now I just need to make sure I meet the requirements. After that I plan to pick the school that suits me best" he answered
"Sounds like a lot of pressure! Must be hard on you" she replied
"Yeah it is, and it's even more stressful because every single school is far from home, so no matter what it's going to be a radical change and who's going to look out for Gaz when I'm gone?" He asked
Gretchen touched his hand softly "You're a great brother Dib, Gaz has been lucky to have you" she smiled with a light blush.
Dib's face brightened "You really think so?"
"Of course! I'm an only child myself, there were many times in my life I wished I would have an older brother to bail me out" she explained with a slight nervous laugh.
Dib gave her a soft smile "Thanks Gretchen that means a lot to me"
She unwillingly let out a gasp, and turned around. Dib raised his brow and scratched his head but shrugged it off while Gretchen berated herself mentally for not being able to contain her emotions.
Finally the Planet Ruxury came into view. The Voot Cruiser was like a tiny speck in comparison to the size of the enormous violet planet. The atmosphere was a glowing seafoam green with asteroids scattered across the surface. The closer they got to the planet the slower Zim drove. "Before we can enter the planet we need to find the check in station. These hideous fools like to cloak themselves and their check in stations! Stupid metal lizards!" He grumbled and kept his eyes keen on the radar.
Gaz stared ahead and tried to see if she could see anything odd that could possibly be their destination as she growled "Why do they make things so complicated?"
"Because THEY'RE STUPID AND ANNOYING!" Zim spat.
Gaz looked closely at a particular cluster of mini asteroids that suspiciously were around an invisible bubble "Hey Zim! Look, all the asteroids are everywhere BUT that area!"
Zim rolled his eyes "And?"
Gaz sighed "I think that's the check in station idiot!"
"You speak nonsense! What could YOU possibly know about space? What you are seeing is merely a coincidence!" He scoffed
Gaz snarled "Fine then Zim! If you're so confident, fire at it!"
Zim's antennae dropped "Eeh… what?"
Gaz smirked and crossed her arms "What's the matter Zim? Scared I'm right?"
"Hahahaha! Oh you are HILARIOUS Gaz-Beast!" He mocked.
He activated his lasers and opened fire at the area with a gulp. The lasers bounced off the invisible force, and revealed the long L shaped space station. The structure equipped a long metal coil and snatched up the voot cruiser in flash and started to drag the ship inside. Gaz snickered and Zim growled "I hope you realize your victory comes at price Gaz! We're most likely going to be killed for insubordination now!" He pulled at his antennae in frustration
Gaz leaned back in her chair "Oh shut up! According to you these guys consider us too valuable to kill before the games begin" she reminded
Zim huffed "I suppose that is true but they do not take hostility lightly"
Gaz gasped condescendingly "Oh my God is the mighty Zim scared?"
Zim's eyes bulged out of his head and he flipped his head almost completely around "ZIM IS NOT SCARED! ZIM IS NEVER SCARED! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS TERRIFIED!!!" he screamed and pointed in her face. She responded by biting his finger, making him shirek and grab the side of his seat frantically "AHHHHH GERMS!!!! YOU HUMANS AND YOUR FILTHY MOUTHS!!!!" He reached for his disinfectant and sprayed himself head to toe, filling the ship with an obnoxious bleachy smell.
They began coughing and Gaz punched him in the arm " Good going genius! This ship is…ack ack… too small for that" she gagged
"Ack! You're the one that… ack!!! Bit Zim! It's your ackkk fault!" He coughed
The ship was dragged inside and the Voot's systems disabled upon entry. "Oh that's just great!" Zim hissed. Gaz covered his mouth and hushed him when two heavy footsteps were heard. They heard a deep voice spouting an alien language. Zim moved Gaz's hand from his mouth and whispered "That's the Ripper language, he's basically calling us idiots"
Gaz snickered "So what's he going to do to us?" More footsteps were heard and a female voice was heard "What's she saying?"
A door opened swiftly "No need to ask the Irken! I said I'd deal with two" she answered. She was a silver scaled Giga Ripper, unlike most members of her race she only had two arms and didn't wear the helmets most were known for, revealing her four emerald eyes. She pointed to Zim "Your name is Zim correct?"
He stepped in front of Gaz and puffed out his chest "Yes I AM ZIM!" He declared while Gaz rolled her eyes.
"Right, we've been expecting you, I am Zariska and I will be getting you registered for Arcademageddon" she explained "Though in the future it would be wise to avoid opening fire on our stations" she sneered
"AH YES! THAT! That was uhhh… a MALFUNCTION!" He urged.
"Is that so? Well you've been warned and whatever you do from here on out is no longer my responsibility" she said. She hummed as she looked behind the proud Irken and saw the strange purple girl "Oh it's HER!" She beamed.
"Huh?" Gaz huffed.
She pushed Zim aside and reached her claw out to Gaz "Your performance from Arcadikon years ago was exquisite young warrior! I MUST know your name!"
Gaz hesitantly took her claw and shook her hand awkwardly "Gaz" she answered.
"It is an honor to meet you Gaz! It has been far too long since a female has entered Arcademageddon!" Zariska informed. She took back her hand and spun on her heel "Please follow me, I'll get you your badges and show you to your rooms"
Zim and Gaz shared an awkward look before following behind. "Can you believe that insolent lizard female? Pushing Zim aside?" He muttered
"She was just treating you like the pest that you are" Gaz smirked
"Zim is no pest! Your whole planet is full of pests that I destroy for fun!" He yelled
"Ew! Does that mean you have roaches?" Gaz asked
"Of course I do I live with GIR! He eats them and I kill what's left over"
"Ew!"
Zariska held out her arm to stop the two in their tracks " Stay right here little ones, I have to take your pictures" she instructed.
She pulled down a camera from the ceiling and aimed the lens towards Zim first. He gave the camera a wicked snarl, baring his teeth with an annoyed expression on his face. "Very Good Zim, head over the counter behind me and pick your registration papers"
Zim huffed and marched ahead. Gaz stepped up next, never really knowing what to do for photos she just stood there with a blank expression and shrugged. "All done Gaz" Zariska said.
Gaz walked behind Zim and grabbed the paper that had her face on it. "I can't read this" she growled
"Ha! Of course you can't! You INFERIOR humans could never understand such sophisticated languages!" Zim cackled.
"It's basically your registration forms, I can help you fill them out. Let's start with any gamertag you may use" Zariska said
"V0X3LROT, it would be easier if I wrote it down, I used numbers and shit" Gaz explained
Zariska's eyes widened "Oh my! Many of our greatest warriors have fallen to your hands Gaz!" She laughed
Gaz shrugged "I can't help it if they suck!"
Zim's antennae popped up and scurried to her side "What the earth slave really means is-"
Zariska waved them off "Oh please I am not offended! These fools NEED a wakeup call" she laughed.
She motioned for them to follow her as she walked ahead. They followed her to the next room where there was a huge window and Ruxury was in full view. "Now look over your forms and make sure everything is accurate" she instructed.
"Yes yes! It's fine now, hurry it up! I'm sure my feeble human needs food!" Zim snapped
"Of course! Now place your forms in this machine and it will print out your badges, you'll need these to enter all the Arcademageddon events and planets so try to keep it on you at all times"
They both did as instructed and picked up their badges. The plastic item had their gamertags and pictures printed on them as well as their area of space. Zim picked his up and kissed it "Sometimes even I forget how handsome I am!" He bragged "Gaz look how handsome I am!"
Gaz picked hers up "Wow, I'm so bored my eyes look like lines" she remarked. Zim snatched up her badge quickly.
"Hmmm, you look no different than you usually do little Gaz, your eyelashes look nice though haha" he cackled.
Gaz growled and grabbed her badge back from him with an embarrassed blush on her face. She huffed and crossed her arms. Zariska cleared her throat to get back their attention.
She pointed to a sleek black spaceship beside her. "As you most likely already know, ahead is Planet Ruxury, take the ship beside me and it will lead you straight to lobby where you will be assigned your rooms"
"HEY! What about MY ship and our things! My human surely needs her humany clothing things!" Zim ranted
"I've already sent your things to your rooms and your ship is currently getting upgrades" she responded.
Zim's antennae popped up "OOH UPGRADES!" he beamed.
The two stepped inside the ship, accidentally touching hands when they sat down at the same time. They had no time to react as the ship zoomed almost instantly through the planet's atmosphere. They were brought to a brightly lit and flashy hotel-like building. The doors of the ship opened and they staggered outside after such a fast trip. They were greeted by an enormous Giga Ripper that made the ground shake when he walked "Greetings contestants! Your rooms are right this way!" He yelled. He proceeded to pick them both up and stomped over to the swirling staircase behind him.
"RELEASE ZIM IMMEDIATELY!!!" Zim squirmed.
"Uhhh ok!" The Giga Ripper tossed Zim like a football into his room ahead.
Gaz started cracking up as the Giga Ripper continued beside Zim's room gently letting her down. She wiped a tear that formed a the corner of her eye before thanking the alien and catching her breath after laughing so hard. "Oh man that shit was funny" she sighed. She entered the empty room and stomped her foot "Hey that lizard lady said our stuff was here!"
"It is! You just have to place your badge on the wall" the alien informed. She turned to see an indentation shaped like her badge. She placed her badge inside and the room doubled in size, neon fuchsia lights came on revealing the rest of the amenities. A huge plush bed in the far left corner, in the center there was a reclining gamer chair already equipped with a fancy looking headset, across from that was a huge TV the size of the wall with an assortment of various different controllers. "This is just your living and bed quarters to your right you'll find your own personalized food chamber and further down is the bathroom" he explained.
Gaz's eyes were wider than they've ever been as she stood in awe "I never believed heaven existed until this moment" she stated.
"Well enjoy yourself but don't forget the meet and greet tomorrow" the alien waved her goodbye and left.
She took a moment to process, just basking in the presence of pure gaming luxury. "These are my kind of aliens" she thought to herself. She walked over to the bed and jumped on top of it, enjoying the extreme softness of the fuzzy pink comforter before being violently shaken from her thoughts.
"THOSE FUCKIN LIZARDS BROKE MY FAVORITE BLASTER!!!"
Gaz groaned "We WOULD have to have connected rooms"
