Zim Fic 103a/b Lord of the Worm-Babies
A/N: Another fun-filled chapter. This is ... joy ^^
Scene 5
Fade In
Dib awakes to the Call of Nature. One of those things that always seems to happen at 2 am in the morning
Dib wanders out of the cave blindly in the dark, and makes his way to a place as far from the their water as possible, and relieves himself (It's a normal human bodily function . Don't laugh)
Dib: Wuuuuuuhh ...
There is a rustling in the bushes and Dib is suddenly more alert and awake than he was before. His eyes widen a little, but he still can't see anything in the gloom. The rustling continues somewhat, and then he yawns, gives up, and wanders back to the cave
The next morning
Dib wakes up and sees Lucy cowering in the corner with Katrina
Dib: Sleepily What's wrong?
Lucy: There was a m-m-m-m...
Katrina: ... a MONSTER here last night.
Dib: Confused A monster? Probably an alien ... was it Zim?
Katrina: No.
Lucy: It was too tall and too scary-looking.
Katrina: Zim's not scary-looking.
Dib: Well, I guess you're right there ... Looks around Where's everyone else?
Lucy: They went out to do ... stuff.
Dib: Stands up Well, I'm going to see where everyone else is and ask them about this ... monster.
Lucy: We'll stay here.
Katrina: And ... read poetry.
Dib: Oh-kay. Heads for cave entrance
Morning on the beach is beautiful. There's no fog (for some reason) and the water is all sparkly and blue and pretty and about 4 degrees centigrade so if you were dumb enough to jump in, you'd DIE - but that's just so ya know, y'know?
Dib walked outside the cave and stared at the pretty water
Mia: You took your time getting up this morning.
Dib: Vacant expression (duhhh...) No school today ... didn't need to.
Mia: Everyone else is out DOING something at least. I'm here to watch the fire and make sure it doesn't go out. Maybe we can get someone to rescue us BEFORE the Skools send their people.
Dib: When does the Skool send people?
Mia: A month or two.
Dib: Considers briefly We should get rescued then.
Mia: Mm-hmm.
Dib and Mia stand for several moments, staring at the fire and the water
Dib: You lost a coin toss?
Mia: We drew straws.
Another long pause
Dib: Lucy and Katrina are awake. You could get them to watch it, they're just cowering inside.
Mia: I thought they were too scared to come out.
Dib: Smiling evily We could point it out that is the monster of theirs was to come to the cave mouth it would have them trapped.
Mia: That sounds kinda...
Dib: ... mean. Yeah, but then we can go do something more interesting.
Mia: Brightly Okay!
Dib and Mia scare Katrina and Lucy into watching the fire for them, telling them to keep big pointy sticks for them to drop when they run from the monster. Dib suggested Katrina use her poetry book for defense
Scene shifts to Gyok
Gyok: Typing, mumbling to himself Yeah ... but if the ... no, that won't ... but when I ... still doesn't ... the bananas ... plus ... a monkey? That can't be right...
The lizard crawls around on his shoulder, and then on his laptop
Gyok's concentration broken by lizard crawling across the screen. Pulls what looks like a Gameboy lamp out of his pocket and plugs it into the side of his laptop. He holds the light in front of the lizard's eyes and activates it. The lizard keels over and rolls off the keyboard, hitting the ground and twitching
Gyok: Puts flashy-thing away and resumes typing Haven't had THAT happen before...
Scene changes to Galadriel and Jessie
Galadriel is sitting on a fallen log, carving something out of wood using a large, very sharp knife. The carving is currently unrecognizable. Jessie is swinging a short sword over her head, as in kendo practice
Galadriel: Looking up from her carving You want to swing harder, faster, and stop sooner. It's an exercise to strengthen your upper arms.
Jessie: Changes her movements as Galadriel directs Like this.
Galadriel: Yeah. Goes back to carving Just keep that up for a couple hours.
Jessie: Continues swinging sword Will this make me stronger?
Galadriel: Continues carving Would I lie to you?
Jessie: Continues swinging sword Ah well, it IS good exercise anyway. My arms are starting to feel the burn.
Galadriel holds up carving now, which is MUCH more distinguishable now. It is a Japanese practice sword. She tries a couple slashes with it, and then resumes carving from it
Scene shifts to Frazier
Frazier is hoeing a patch of ground he's cleared of vegetation
Frazier: Opens a small packet of seeds And now ... Sprinkles little seeds ... grow my little minions ... GROW!
Frazier is planting strawberries. He pulls a small watering can out of somewhere and sprinkles the newly-planted seeds
Scene shifts back to Dib and Mia
Dib and Mia are hiking through the thick jungle, helping each other through various parts. Montage footage: Mia helping Dib out of quicksand; Dib and Mia crossing a reptile-filled body of water; Dib helping Mia recover some item she dropped, which turns out to be her knife - he looks like he questions it - and then shrugs; footage of a happy little meadow with some cute animals, and then the two of them beating the animal; they return with their kill
Cuts to them roasting a filler-bunny-like-bunny
Lucy is crying and Katrina is lamenting the lost bunny with a number of sad poems
Katrina: Oh ye little lost bunny, we hardly knew ye. Mumbles something incoherent about last rites
Dib: Munch Munch It was just a little bunny, get over it.
Mia: Offers Lucy and Katrina some We're going to be here a while, so you may as well.
Lucy: WHYYYYYY the BUNNY! Weeps quietly I hate you Dib!
Dib: Why me? Mia was there too.
Lucy: You're ... a ... GUY!
Dib: Shrugs Well, if you feel that way, feel free to eat those nasty indigesto-berries.
Mia: They ARE pretty indigestible.
Gyok returns with a basket (he woven it hisself =P) laden with a number of fruits
Katrina and Lucy: Gyok! DibissoterriblehewentandkilledacutewiddlebunnyandCOOKEDitandnowheseatingithe ssohorriblepleasemakehimstop!Hey!Isthatfruitcanwehavesome?
Gyok hands them the basket
Gyok: Here you go, help yourselves, they're all good. I'm gonna have me some bunny.
Lucy and Katrina: Watery anime eyes, followed by sudden EVIL eyes Gyok you're so HORRIBLE! How could you?
Walks to Dib and Mia and sits with them
Gyok: Over his shoulder I'm hungry.
Galadriel and Jessie return
Galadriel: Hullo everyone, we're back.
Jessie: Cringing as she moves My ... arms, so ... sore.
Galadriel: Her practice went well. If it's possible, I'd like to get everyone together later for some self-defense lessons. She tosses a bundle of carved wooden swords on to the ground near them
Everyone gawks at the swords. Mia picks one up and looks at it
Mia: These are incredible. Did you carve all of these this morning?
Galadriel: When I finished the first one, I gave it to Jessie to practice with so I could use my real sword to carve the rest, and it went a lot faster when I could use my sword instead of my knife.
Dib: Why does everyone have KNIVES?!
Gyok: They've all got CD players too.
Frazier returns
Frazier: Hey ... everyone.
Everyone is looking at him oddly
Frazier: Hey ... what?
There is a very awkward pause as everyone stares. Lucy and Katrina giggle in the background, Gyok types something on his laptop, Galadriel and Jessie just stare, and Dib just opens and shuts his mouth a couple times
Finally, Mia speaks up
Mia: Are those ... antlers?
Fade out
End of Scene 5
A/N: Sorry, this was a character development chapter. Sorry to everyone who's character's STILL haven't been introduced yet. I've just about got all these characters down, as far as writing-wise, and the rest will show up ... soon.
I noticed significantly less comments after the last chapter, which could be for one or more of a few reasons: 1) No one read it, 2) Everyone read it, but it was good enough they didn't need to say anything, 3) Everyone read it and it was BAD enough they didn't need to say anything.
I NEED input. Even a couple words ... it makes it easier to write.
You may also notice my expanding upon the characters and their personalities. This is normal, they are, in fact, adapting to life on a deserted island. (And it's only the second day! Joy! - Ignore the LACK of passing time)
A/N: Another fun-filled chapter. This is ... joy ^^
