Chapter 8
"......I Can't Do It."
The hallways of the skool suddenly filled up with kids, as they all jeted towards the lunchroom.However, as for Zim and Rogue, they took their time for two reasons: One, they both can't "eat" the food anyway, and two, Zim was lectering Rogue about want she did back in the classroom.
"Do you realize what you all most did back there?!" Zim said all upset. Rogue looked at him with her "you don't scrare me" look. "No, what?" She said sarcasticly.
"You nearly almost exposed yourself to the enemy!" Zim said.
"Expose myself?" Rogue said. "Ha! For your information, I have acted like that on all the other missions I have been on, and I've never got caught. And just to let you know, if you were the only other person in that room at that time, I would have vaporized that droning Vulture Woman."
Zim gave Rogue a look. "Look, just try NOT to do that again. Its indangers the mission, and Gir gives me enough trouble already."
Zim starts to walk ahead of Rogue towards the lunchroom entrance. But before he went in, he turned to see Rogue, standing just about a feet away, staring at him with those sharp eyes of hers. He raised him nonexcisting eyebrow, thought for a moment and said, "You know, now that I think about it, if I WAS the only other person in the room at the time, I would have helped you vaporized her. She gets on my nerves too." He then walked right into the lunchroom.
Rogue stood where she was, cocked her head to the side and raised a eyebrow. A still moment passed. 'Its weird.' She thought to himself. 'He doesn't act like any of the other targets I ever faced. Why do my Masters want him gone so bad?' But the moment that thought came to her, she shook it out. "No." She said outloud. "I can't think that. The Masters said he has to go, then he HAS to go. And hes gonna go tonight!" She then walked into the lunchroom.
~ The sound of kids eating and the smell for the human food nearly made Rogue sick as she followed Zim to the lunch line. She pluged her nose and held her breath as the lunch lady practicaly "thrown" the food on her tray. Zim looked at her and thought that thats how he acted the first couple times with the human food. He lend over to Rogue and whispered, "Its okay to breath through your mouth." Rogue, who couldn't hold her breath much longer anyway, unpluged her nose and inhaled deep, making sure just to breath through her mouth so she didn't smell the food.
As they started walking to the same empty table that Zim always sat at, just a couple tables away, Dib sat at a table with his sister Gaz, who was playing her GameSlave. He had a lock-on stare on Zim and Rogue. The second the two undercover aliens took their seats, he pointed his finger at them. "See that? You see that, Gaz?" Dib said. Gaz didn't pay antention as Dib started rambling on again. "Rogue is sitting right NEXT to Zim! No one EVER sits next to Zim! Shes one of them, Gaz, shes one of Zim's kind!" Dib continued to keep talking and talking, Gaz slowly started losing her cool.
Back at Zim's and Rogue's table, both Irkins pushed away their food trays with a disgusted look. They both looked around the room, watching all the other human children eat. Then at the same time, they both blurred out, "Filthy human worm babys." They both suddenly looked at each other with a bit of a shocked look. They then just looked away. About a second later, Zim spoke up. "You know, I'm glad the Tallest did sent you to check on me." Rogue looked at him. "Whys that?" She asked not really caring. Zim turned to look at her. "Because it feels good to finally talk to someone I can trust on this planet."
Rogue was a bit surprise to hear that. She has gotten Zim to really trust her now. But she still couldn't help but wonder why he was her target. He just..... what did he do to become her target? Once again, she shook the thought out of her mind.
Meanwhile, Dib was still rambling on about Rogue, and Gaz just about had it. She grit her teeth and started to tremble with anger. She finally lost it when she suddenly grabed and yanked Dib by his spikey hair, immediatily making him shut up. She gave him a nasty glare and said, "Your yapping is making it VERY HARD for me to play my game, and I'm almost at the final level, so if you make me mess up, I WILL make the rest of your life a LIVING NIGHTMARE." Dib didn't say anything for the rest of lunch.
~ After lunch, it was time for recess. A bunch of screaming kids came running out of the skool on to the skool's playground. Some headed for the jungle gym, others headed towards the kickball court. Rogue and Zim came walking on of the skool building. Rogue took a deep breath of fresh air, glad to be out of the foul smelling lunchroom. She took a look at all the Earth children playing with a confused look in her face. 'I wonder why these "creatuers" act so foolish around this time?' She thought to herself, not understanding the point of "recess".
She turned to look at Zim, but he wasn't next to her. She looked around the playground and spotted him sitting on the bench, watching the children with a glare. She stared for a moment before shrugged and making her way towards him. But she suddenly stopped when she noticed someone coming up from behind for him.( We all know who it is, right? -_- ) Dib quietly came up to Zim with something in his hand. It was a cup full of water.
'Whats that Earth child doing?' Rogue thought, not knowing what water does to a Irkin. With a grin on his face, Dib dumped the cup of water on Zim, immediatily causing Zim to start running around the playground, screaming in pain. Rogue watched in shock as she saw what looked like steam coming of her water covered target. She then turned and look at Dib, laughing at Zim's pain. She then looked to see that some of the other children too started laughing at Zim running around in pain. Her face suddenly when blank. She too felt like she should start laughing, and be glad want Zim was going through, but, for some reason, at that moment, all she could do, was feel almost...sorry for him. Maybe it was because he was a Irkin, like herself, but she was always told it doesn't matter if her target was of her own kind or not. She never felt this feeling before. It was new to her. It felt, so unusual to her. But before she could think more about it, the words of her Masters came up in her mind: "We ordered to give you life. If you ever fail us in anyway, we will order to take it away."
"I will NEVER fail you." Those were the words she spoke after her Masters said that. Suddenly, the skool bell rang, making Rogue snap out of it. All the kids began to head towards the skool building. Zim came walking up, still giving off steam a bit, with a nasty scowl on his face. Rogue didn't say anything as he walked by. She shook off the weird new feeling and followed him inside.
~ The rest of the day went on like earlier, with Ms. Bitters freaky lecteres. This time, Rogue made sure she didn't lose it like last time. By the time the final bell rang, Rogue was thankfull to get out of there. Her and Zim got up and started heading out the door when Ms. Bitters said, "ROGUE! Are you forgeting something?" Rogue was given detention, but it just so happens that Rogue didn't know want detention was. Zim walked out the door, but Rogue stopped just outside the door and looked at Ms. Bitters.
"I've given you detention, Rogue. Your staying here!" Ms. Bitters hissed. Rogue gave her a look. "I'm not staying here. You can't make me." Rogue said with no fear.
"YOUR STAYING! AND YOUR GOING TO STAY UNTILL I SAY SO!" Ms. Bitters shouted.
"No." Rogue said and headed right out the door. Ms. Bitters grit her teeth and gave out a loud growl. All the kids started cheering at Rogue's bravey. "SILENCE!!!" Ms. Bitters shouted angerly. Everyone went quiet. "If this makes you think you can overpower me, your wrong!" She said all creepy like. "Rogue WILL get triple detention for that! Now all for you, beat it!"
As all of the kids started heading out the classroom door, unknowned to Zim and Rogue, the sky outside was starting to get dark with rain clouds. Dib noticed this as he turned and headed out the door. As he walked down the hall, he saw the two Irkins walking towards the outside door. A grin came across his face as he got a idea. He ran towards them and knocked Zim and Rogue flat on the ground. He laughed as they both scramble to to get up. Zim dusted off his clothes and gave Dib a glare. Rogue too did the same.
Zim growled. "You filthy, stinking human!" He said shaking his fist at Dib. They stood for a moment exchanging insaults at each other. Dib then said, "You can't fool me, Zim. I've been watching you and Rogue here all day, and I can tell she is NOT human. I'm I right?"
"I don't know what your talking about, worm monkey." Zim said trying to bluff his way out.
"Oh, come on Zim, I can see RIGHT through her. She may have a WAY better disguise then you, but I've notices somethings." Dib said.
"Like what?" Zim said sarcasticy.
"Well, for one thing, she doesn't seem to LIKE food, if you know want I mean." Dib said with a glare. "Second, she has no fear what-so-ever of Ms. Bitters, and third, I noticed something on Friday. She doesn't have ears, just like you!" He said pointing at his ears in effect. "And don't say its a skin condition, because it isn't!"
Zim's eyes shapen at his rival. "So, you DID figure it out. So want are you going to do about it, "Dib"? You know no one will listen or believe you. Everyone thinks your crazy anyway."
Dib looked at Rogue, then looked back at Zim. "They won't think I'm crazy once I catch you OR Rogue without your disguises. I now have TWO chances for that!"
"I would like to see you try, Earth stink." Zim said. "Come on, Rogue, we don't have time for this nonsince." As Zim and Rogue headed out the door, Dib shouted sarcarticly, "Oh, and Zim, you better get home, it looks like its about to RAIN!" Zim stopped where he was and looked up at the sky. His eyes went wide at the really dark storm clouds. Rogue looked up with Zim, but she didn't understand. "What is he talking about, whats "RAIN"?" She asked confused. But just as she did, Zim started running as fast as he could down the sidewalk towards his house. He looked back at Rogue. "Rogue! Come on, HURRY!" He shouted in a bit of a panic. Rogue still didn't understand, but she started running anyway.
They were half way down to Zim's house when Zim heared a sound of thunder, signaling that rain was going to come any second! "FASTER ROGUE!" He shouted. Rogue was about 20 feet behind Zim as they finaly reached his house. Zim swung opened the door and dived into the house. He looked back to see Rogue running up the sidewalk. But just as she did, it started to rain, a sudden down pour. Rogue was just about a feet from the house when it hit her. Her whole body felt like it was on fire as she fell to the ground screaming, she was in too much pain to move! Thinking quick, Zim rushed out in the rain, grabbed Rogue and brought her inside. Zim's body begun to burn, but he he didn't get as wet as Rogue did. He looked at her, kneeling on the floor, cluching her body, still in alot of pain. She never in her life felt pain like that before. She then begain to shiver because of the cold, yet burning water.
Just then, Gir came walking in. "Boy, is it pouring out there or what?!" He said all cheerful like. Zim looked up at him. "Gir! Come over here now!" He said. Gir skipped over to his Master. Zim opened up his little robot head, reached in and pulled out a blanket. "Hey, thats my!" The little robot said.
Zim took the blanket and covered Rogue with it. Rogue looked at the blanket and wrap it around herself. She then looked up at Zim. "Are you okay?" He asked. Rogue stared at him for a second before giving an answer. "Y-Yeah, I'm..I'm fine." She said still shivering. She stood up. Her fake human hair was dripping wet. "You better use that blanket to dry yourself off." Zim said. "And I should have warned you about what humans call water and rain. It both the same thing, so be carefull to stay away from it." He then headed towards the lab. Gir looked at Rogue and said sweetly, "You can use my blankey, K?" He too then went to the lab.
Rogue stood there, dipping wet, not knowing want to say or do. She begain to feel the same feeling she felt earier at skool. "I don't get it, why do I feel like this?" She said to herself. "No one as ever acted like this towards me before. Other people and my other targets have always been cruel or scared of me. Maybe its some kind of trick, or maybe this planet's atmosphere is making me feel this way." Rogue then suddenly remembered want she said to herself earier. She was going to finish the mission tonight!
~ Outside, a full moon beamed on Zim's house. Inside, Zim was working deep in the lab. It was getting close the midnight. Zim let out a big yawn as he worked on his computer. Unknowned to Zim, Rogue was in the lab too, hiding in the shadows on the other side for the room.
She glare at him, thinking that it was now time to do what she came to do. Slowly, she aimed she laser at him. She shapen her eyes as she tryed to get a good shot of him, but suddenly, her arm begain to skake. 'Come on, focus Rogue!' She thought to herself. She used her other hand to hold her shaking aim, but that didn't seem to help. 'Whats wrong with me?! I can't focus!' Her eyes then with wide as flashs of the day went through her head. She remembered Zim telling her to breath through her mouth at the lunchroom so she wouldn't smell the horrable Earth food. She remembered what he said about it being nice to finally talk to someone he could trust. She remembered the weird new feeling she got when she watched Zim get attacked from behind by the Earth child, Dib. 'NO!' She thought. 'Don't think about it! I was sent here for a strict reason!' Her shaking aim begain to get better. She was ready to fire. But then, one more thought flashed through her mind, Zim saving her from that painful "rain", and giving her the blanket to dry herself off. No one...has every even tryed to save her from anything before. Her face went blank. She slowly lowered her laser, and hung her head. This as NEVER happened to her before. She slowly said under her breath...............
"I......I can't do it."
