Chapter 12
The Trip Begins!
An Unknown Stoaway
Early morning. The sun beamed in Zim's house windows. Gir was playing with his rubber toys in the livingroom, still waiting to leave for the trip Master was talking about. He's been waiting anxiously since last night. Zim was still in the lab, putting together more perprations. And Rogue, was in the lab too, helping Zim pack in the equipment into the now fully rebuild, upgraded, voot cruiser! The computer just finshed it. It was now much bigger then before, and had alot more room inside. And bigger jets on it, to make it MUCH faster then before. It will now not take six long months to reach Irk, like it was before to reach Earth. Zim estimated that it will now only take about two whole earth days to get there!
"Perfect! At this pace, we'll be taking off for Irk before noon!" Zim said in a prideful tone of voice. He looked up at Rogue, who was still packing. She hasn't said much in the pass couple hours, it still looked like her had alot on her mind.
"Hey! Rogue! Do you think too much all the time?" He yelled out, not in a sarcastic tone, but more of his loud everyday tone. Rogue stopped what she was doing and looked back at the Irkin soldier. "I'm just a deep thinker, at's all." She yelled back, and continued her work.
"Then let me asked you this..." Zim said. "...Arn't you excited about is trip? Because you sure don't show it."
Rogue stopped working again. She wasn't really sure now to answer that question. Something was still troubling her. She still was unsure about this whole trip, but she really didn't want to let Zim thought about it. She thought quickly of something to counter act his question. It then hit her.
"Zim! When you came to Earth, have you ever experienced any strange new emotions?"
"Answer my question first!" Zim shouted.
"Well, have you?" Rogue said, completely ignoring his commaned.
Zim scowled a little bit, and then thought for a moment. 'New emotions?' He asked himself. 'The only new emotion I think of was the time that "Dib" found out about the "water" thing. That was the first time I really experienced "fear". And Gir has showed me that emotion called "sadness" before, but I have never felt that.' He lifted his head, and looked back at Rogue, still waiting for an answer.
"What "emotions" are you talking about anyway?" He asked her.
"I mean the kind that makes you think of somebody over and over again, you just don't want to stop, and sometimes you feel like your face is getting hot, and your insides feel like their all mixed up." Rogue said.
Zim looked at her with a REALLY confushed look. "....Nooo..." He said with a raised unseeable eyebrow. "I never heard or felt such a emotion."
Rogue gave him a look. "Just forget it." She said, packing the last of the stuff.
~ As noon came along, the cruiser was all set, the supples were all packed, and Gir was about ready to explode from all the waiting.
"Gir! Come to the cruiser bay! We're ready to take off!" Zim said in to a loud speaker. The little robot suddenly came sliding down the ceiling tube, and hitting the top of the voot cruiser, which didn't seem to fas him one bit. He hopped up and ran to his Master and Rogue.
"I'M REEEAAADDDY!!!" He said happily.
"Gir, where are the toys you said you were going to bring?" Zim asked, noticing that Gir was empty handed.
"ALLLLL UP HERE!" He said, pointing to his metal head.
Rogue looked at him weird. "You put all those rubber "things" inside your head?"
"YEAH, LOOKY!" Gir said, going to open to top.
"GIR! WAIT! DON'T...." Zim was cut short when all of Gir's rubber piggys and mooseys came flying out of the robot's head the minute he opened it. All the toys made a a'round sound of squeaks as they came down and hit the floor, some hitting Zim and Rogue on the head.
"GIR!!!" Zim shouted.
"MY PIGGYS!" Gir said, running around and picking up his rubber toys and putting them back in his head. Zim growled and rubbed his head where the rubber toy hit him. Rogue rolled her purple eyes and let out a sigh.
"As soon as Gir is done picking up his "toys", we'll go." Zim said. "Now lets see, Am I forgeting anything? The base is set on auto defence, the computer is set to scan anyone is foolish enough to try to break in, and.....I believe thats it."
"I'll get in the voot cruiser." Rogue said. She went towards it, opened the glass bubble covering, entered in and sat in one of the now two front seats.
As she sat there waiting, she watched Gir still running around for his toys, and Zim then suddenly slipping on one and falling face first on the floor. He got up and started shouting at Gir again, which Gir wasn't really listening anyway. All of this was kind of humorish to Rogue. She started to sightly chuckle under her breath. And then, it happened again, the feeling. She put her hand to her face, and could feel the heat coming off of it. She was chuckling because of Zim. She looked at him again, and she just didn't want to stop "looking".
Finaly, Gir had all his rubbery goodness back in his head, and he and Zim headed of the cruiser. When they got in, Zim looked right at Rogue, and his eyes sort of widened. Her face was red, and she didn't know it.
"What is wrong with you?" He asked.
Rogue looked at him weird, and then noticed her reflection on the bubble glass, and was abit taken back by it.
"Ooooooo, pretty color!" Gir said staring at her face and then gently poking it. Rogue pushed him away. Her face then slowly started to turn back to her normal shad of green. Zim quickly looked at it again and then said, "Has that even happen before?"
Rogue quietly shook her head "no".
"I hope you don't have some "earth" germ in you or something." Zim said. "Better keep an eye on that."
"CAN I HAVE FRONT SEAT?!" Gir said loudly.
"No Gir, me and Rogue are seating here. You seat in the back and play will your toys, QUIETLY." Zim said.
"YEAH!" Gir said and sat in the back seat. He reached into his head, and pulled out four rubber toys, and started playing away.
Zim then turned to the ship's controls, and pushed some buttons. "Computer! Widen the lauch tube." He spook into a mike that was conneted into the main computer. The computer reponded and made the tube on the ceiling bigger for the new voot cruiser to get through.
"Alright, all systems go! We're taking off!" Zim announced.
"ROAD TRIP!!!!!" Gir screamed out, waving his little arms. Zim and Rogue crinched at the outbrust.
The cruiser began to rise, and then suddenly shot through the tube like a rocket. The crew was all pushed back in their seats by the sudden rush. The ship came out of the base's roof, and in the blink of an eye, was already in the clouds above the earth city. Zim reached for the controls, and grabbed the steering and stopped the cruiser from going any higher! Now hovering up in the clouds, Zim was shaking from the sudden jump. Rogue looked at him, and started to sincker abit.
"WO! CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN?!" Gir said.
"I didn't think the cruiser would have this must power to it now!" Zim said, still shook up, but amazed.
"Of course, parts of my old ship are in it now." Rogue said. "Including the new, state-of-the-art hyper boosters."
"Alright, lets try it again." Zim said. He put his hands on the steering, and pushed some buttons. The voot cruiser asended again, but this time, SLOWLY. They went higher and higher, untill they finally got passed the Earth's atmosphere, and in to space.
"Bye-bye!" Gir said waving back at the big round blue and green planet. "I hope Mr. TV will miss me." Rogue turned and looked at the SIR. She then fell back in her seat and breathed a sigh. She looked out the glass and stared at the stars, and thought about how brightly they burned, like her new anger for the Tallest. She made a fist and grit her Irkin zipper-like teeth at the thought of them.
"Computer, set a course for planet Irk." Zim said. The computer beeped and said, "AFFERMATED". Zim then too stay back in his seat. "We should get there in a few days."
"What are we going to do untill then?" Rogue asked.
Zim looked at her. "Well, we'll.....focus more on the mission at hand, what else?"
"I guess, but we won't really know what the situation will be untill we get there." Rogue said.
Gir, listening to the whole thing, sudden smiled. "I KNOW! THE DOOM SONG!!"
Zim suddenly got a really scared look on his face. He jumped in his seat, and turned to Gir. "NO GIR! NOT THAT AGAIN!!!"
"The "what" song?" Rogue asked confushed.
The robot took in a deep breath. "GIR!!! I COMMAND YOU TO NOT SING THAT SONG!!!" Zim said angerly.
Too late. "DOOM! DOOM DOOM DOOM! DOOMY DOOMY DOOMY DOOM!!!"
Zim and Rogue quickly covered thier ears with Gir's singing. "GIR, FOR THE LOVE OF IRK, STOP!!!!" Zim shouted. "I REFUSE TO GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN!" But Gir just kept singing away.
Rogue having just about enough too. "Gir! Please listen to Zim and stop!!"
"DOOOOOOOOOOO okay." To everything that was suprising, Gir stopped! Zim was completely dumbfounded, and Rogue just let out a sigh of relef. "Thank you Gir." She said gratfully. Zim looked at her.
"Now did you do that?" He asked.
"Do what?" She asked back.
"You made him stop!" He said. "How did you do that?!"
"I stopped because...." Gir began. Zim and Rogue looked at him. "........I think Rogue is nice."
Zim's face went scowled. "Whats thats suppose to mean, Gir?"
"I THHHHIIINNK...... Rogue is NICE!" He said all sweetly.
Rogue raised a brow, and looked at Zim. "I don't get it." She said.
"I LIKE YOU!" Gir sudden hopped out of his seat, and jumped on Rogue's lap,and hugged her. Rogue almost jumped out of her seat, but she just settled back down when she looked at the clnging little robot. She sudden felt, sort of, "good" inside. It wasn't the strange feeling like before, it was alittle different then that. She didn't feel nervous or hot in the face. She just felt.....good.
Zim stared at Rogue and the SIR with a "weird" look. "Gir, leave Rogue alone." He said. But Gir didn't move an inch. Rogue looked down at him. "Gir?" She said poking his little metal head. She suddenly then heard a little "zzzzzzzzzz" sound coming from him.
"I, I think he's sleeping!" Rogue said, surprised the robot dozed off so quickly.
"In that case, we better just let him sleep." Zim said. "That way' it'll be quiet for the first hour or two." He then took the steering and focsed out in space. As for Rogue, she looked down at the sleeping little robot onces more before laying her head back, and closing her eyes.
~ Three hours has passed. Zim let out a big yawn as he was still piloting the cruiser. Rogue still had her head back, but she wasn't sleeping, like Gir still was. And he was still on her lap too. Just then, Rogue too yawned and streched out her cybrog arms. She turned her head to look at Zim, who looked pretty wipped out.
"Whats wrong? Too much quiet?" Rogue suddenly said, breaking the long silence. Zim looked at her in the corner of his round red eyes. "No, it just so happens I like the quiet." He said.
Just then, Gir started to move around and slowly wake up. Zim glaced over and sighed. "Spoke too soon." He said under his breath.
Gir sat up on Rogue's lap and looked around, rubbing his big blue eyes. "Are we there yet?" He asked with a little yawn.
"Far from it." Rogue said.
Gir then looked at Rogue and smiled. "Your lap makes a good bed!" He said.
Rogue looked at him funny. "Uh......thanks?"
"YOU WELCOME!!" Gir shouted out, REALLY breaking the silence!
It looked like very thing was going completely smoothly for the whole trip, but just then, Rogue's long antennas went shot up in the air. Zim looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm picking up a vibration." She said, looking around.
Zim wiggled his antennas. "Want kind of vibration?"
"A very low one. You can't pick it up because my antenas are longer then yours." Rogue said.
"I'ts bet it's just the cruiser." Zim said.
"No." Rogue said. "If that was it, I would have picked it up hours ago." She then turned and looked in the back, at the door that lead to the large back room were all the supples were kept. "It feels like it's coming from there."
"Then go check it out." Zim said.
Gir jumped off of the female Irkin She got up, and went towards the backroom. As she got to the door, it automaticle opened, and she carefuly went in. The room was slightly lit with just enough lights to see, but it was still kind of dark. Inside were boxes and crates of stuff.
Rogue scaned the room for anything out of the ordinary. She suddenly picked up the low vib again. She turned to see abunch of big steel boxes in the corner, the same ones that her and Zim picked up from the wreak site. They were all empty, but the vib was coming from one of the boxes that had the burned holes in it.
Her face sudden went serious as she went closer to the box. The vib got stronger. She was now close enough to open the top lit of it. She readyed her laser, just in case, placed her hand on the lit, and quickly wipped the lit off.
*FLASH*
A blinding flash of light bursted from the steel box, causing Rogue to step back and cover her eyes. "Ahhh, what the....!" Her vision wasn't clear, but see could see a dark figure jumping out of the box and trying to run for it. But Rogue swifty nabbed it, and spun it around to face her. She was shock to see the annonying human child Dib staring back.
"......................."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Both of them screamed and jumped back from each other, both shocked themselfs.
"Your not Zim!" Dib said, not expecting to see Rogue, and out of her disguise for the matter!
Just by looking at Rogue's face, you could tell she was really ticked. "HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET ABROAD!!!!!?????" She shouted, pointing her finger at him.
"So, this is want you REALLY look like." Dib said, not really listening to the angery alien.
Rogue let out a low growl, but then noticed something in the human's hand, a camera. She knew want those things do.
"Give that camera to me RIGHT NOW "human"!" She said strunly.
"What do you think I am, stuipd?" Dib said, stuffing the camera into his coat pocket.
"Yes." Rogue said, getting closer. "Now give me that, or you'll regret it!"
"NEVER!" Dib tried to make a break of it towards the door, but Rogue used her speed to stop him right in front of it. The human then ran to the other end near a thing of crates. Rogue scowled and went after him, but he dodged away, and Rogue ran into one of the crates, and then fell to the ground. A very lucky move for Dib, considing how fast Rogue is!
Rogue slowly turned to him with a evil eye. Dib couldn't help but snicker at the sight of Rogue's now black and blue face.
The Irkin grit her teeth, and started to tremble with anger. She slowly stood up, and shapen her eyes at the Dib human.
"THATS DOES IT!!! BRING IT ON YOU LITTLE WORM MONKEY!!!" Rogue shouted and jetted towards Dib, which didn't have time to dodge her.
~ Meanwhile, back in the front cock pit, Zim was wondering want was keeping Rogue so long. Gir was now trying to count all the stars that were outside.
"What is she doing back there?" He said.
Suddenly, Zim felt the voot cruiser sort of rock back and forth. He turned and looked back at the back door, and begun to hear something coming from inside. A sort of a hitting and banging sound. He raised an unseen eyebrow at it. Just then, the door suddenly swung open, and out came Rogue and Dib, rolling on the ground, trying to pin each other down! Zim jumped out of his seat and watched with widened eyes as Rogue quickly pinned Dib, grabbed his spikey black hair, and started to bang his head on the floor repeatly.
"Hey Master, it's your friend!" Gir said cheerfuly.
"DIB!" Zim shouted out. Rogue stopped banging the boy's big head, turned and looked at Zim while still hanging on the human's hair, and then just dropped him and stood up. "Look who I found." She said with sharp eyes towards Dib.
Dib then stood up, wobbling abit and holding his head. Zim, with a REALLY evil look on his face, stomped up to him. "I don't know HOW you got IN here..." He began. "....but I've just about had ENOUGH of your STUIPD attempts!!"
"You think I'm just going to sit back and LET you take over Earth?!" Dib said as bravely as he could. "I'm not going down that easy, "Zim"."
The Irkin grit his teeth and then said, "Well, for your infomation earth stink, at the moment, I'm trying to take over want WILL be my soon anyway!"
"Oh, come on!" Dib said rolling his eyes. "If not, then want are you doing?"
Rogue then jumped in. "You think we're going to tell you that?"
"Then you ARE up to something!" Dib said pointing his finger.
"SHUT UP! You shouldn't even be here anyway! How did you get on broad?!" Rogue asked.
Dib raised an eyebrow at her question. "What do you mean "on broad"? I saw Zim's ship take off, so I followed you. I wasn't easy, but when I caught up, I took the chance and hid in one of those steel boxes with the burn holes."
"It FELT like one of those boxes felt heavy!" Zim said with a cluched fist.
"Ha! I guess I was too smart for you and "Rogue", huh Zim." Dib said.
Rogue then crossed her arms and said, "Well, if your so smart, then now do you plan you get out when we're about a good 50 lightyears from your home planet?"
Dib sudden then noiced that he wasn't in Zim's base. He looked out the glass to see countless stars in a pool of blackness. He could feel his face turn white. "WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT IN SPACE??!!"
"LIKE I was telling you before, I'm not planing anything right now to take your planet.......not right now." Zim said.
Dib ran over to the glass and looked out at space. He then turned to Zim and Rogue. "Then what ARE you doing?"
"NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU!!" Zim shouted. "I should throw you out in space and watch your flithy big head explode!"
"MY HEAD'S NOT BIG!" Dib shouted.
"I wouldn't mind seeing that." Rogue said with a little smrik.
Just then, suddenly, the voot cruiser began to heavily rock back and forth. Then there was a loud bang from the outside of cruiser, making the human and two Irkins fall down.
"Whats going on!?" Dib said.
"Hey, wait a minute, Zim, if your here, then who's at the controls?" Rogue asked, trying the stand up.
Zim wipped his head around to see the problem. Outside, to his horror, they were right in the middle of an asteroid field! And at the controls was.........
"GIR!!!" Zim shouted running to the robot, who was playing around, pushing abunch of buttons!
"LOOK AT ME MASTER! I DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT I'M DOING!!!!" Gir yelled out with a big smile.
"GIR!!! YOUR GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!" Zim shouted, going for the steering. He then pushed Gir off the seat, and tried to get out of the asteroid field. The space rocks all were coming left and right as Zim tried his best to dodge them all. But then, one asteroid as big as a house came spiraling towards them. Zim turned, but it hit the left side of the ship, and Zim started to loss control. The voot cruiser went into a spin, making the whole inside of it like a scary carnaval ride. Zim, Rogue and Dib all screamed, but Gir thought it was fun and started to giggle. Then to make all of this wrost, Zim noticed that they were heading towards a small unknown gray planet up ahead. The gravity soon grabbed the ship and it's crew, and the voot cruiser chashed on the planet.
TO BE CONTINUED........................
RogueStar: YEAH WHOOOO! THE GANG'S ALL HERE! Now that Dib is on this little mission of Zim and Rogue's, what well happen next? Sorry for the cliffy, but ME LIKE TO DO THAT! YES, I AM EVIL! Anyway, I hope you like chapter 12. I'll work on chapter 13 as soon as I know whats going to happen. JUST KIDDING! I KNOW whats going to happen, but I MIGHT need the great Aoi Jade's help on this one. So, tell me what you all think, and I'll get back to you! *BEEP* [END OF MESSAGE] {HEE HEE HEE} ^-^

"You made him stop!" He said. "How did you do that?!"

Zim's face went scowled. "Whats thats suppose to mean, Gir?"

"Whats wrong? Too much quiet?" Rogue suddenly said, breaking the long silence. Zim looked at her in the corner of his round red eyes. "No, it just so happens I like the quiet." He said.
Just then, Gir started to move around and slowly wake up. Zim glaced over and sighed. "Spoke too soon." He said under his breath.
Gir sat up on Rogue's lap and looked around, rubbing his big blue eyes. "Are we there yet?" He asked with a little yawn.
"Far from it." Rogue said.
Gir then looked at Rogue and smiled. "Your lap makes a good bed!" He said.
Rogue looked at him funny. "Uh......thanks?"
"YOU WELCOME!!" Gir shouted out, REALLY breaking the silence!
It looked like very thing was going completely smoothly for the whole trip, but just then, Rogue's long antennas went shot up in the air. Zim looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm picking up a vibration." She said, looking around.
Zim wiggled his antennas. "Want kind of vibration?"
"A very low one. You can't pick it up because my antenas are longer then yours." Rogue said.
"I'ts bet it's just the cruiser." Zim said.
"No." Rogue said. "If that was it, I would have picked it up hours ago." She then turned and looked in the back, at the door that lead to the large back room were all the supples were kept. "It feels like it's coming from there."
"Then go check it out." Zim said.
Gir jumped off of the female Irkin She got up, and went towards the backroom. As she got to the door, it automaticle opened, and she carefuly went in. The room was slightly lit with just enough lights to see, but it was still kind of dark. Inside were boxes and crates of stuff.
Rogue scaned the room for anything out of the ordinary. She suddenly picked up the low vib again. She turned to see abunch of big steel boxes in the corner, the same ones that her and Zim picked up from the wreak site. They were all empty, but the vib was coming from one of the boxes that had the burned holes in it.
Her face sudden went serious as she went closer to the box. The vib got stronger. She was now close enough to open the top lit of it. She readyed her laser, just in case, placed her hand on the lit, and quickly wipped the lit off.
*FLASH*
A blinding flash of light bursted from the steel box, causing Rogue to step back and cover her eyes. "Ahhh, what the....!" Her vision wasn't clear, but see could see a dark figure jumping out of the box and trying to run for it. But Rogue swifty nabbed it, and spun it around to face her. She was shock to see the annonying human child Dib staring back.
"......................."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Both of them screamed and jumped back from each other, both shocked themselfs.
"Your not Zim!" Dib said, not expecting to see Rogue, and out of her disguise for the matter!
Just by looking at Rogue's face, you could tell she was really ticked. "HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET ABROAD!!!!!?????" She shouted, pointing her finger at him.
"So, this is want you REALLY look like." Dib said, not really listening to the angery alien.
Rogue let out a low growl, but then noticed something in the human's hand, a camera. She knew want those things do.
"Give that camera to me RIGHT NOW "human"!" She said strunly.
"What do you think I am, stuipd?" Dib said, stuffing the camera into his coat pocket.
"Yes." Rogue said, getting closer. "Now give me that, or you'll regret it!"
"NEVER!" Dib tried to make a break of it towards the door, but Rogue used her speed to stop him right in front of it. The human then ran to the other end near a thing of crates. Rogue scowled and went after him, but he dodged away, and Rogue ran into one of the crates, and then fell to the ground. A very lucky move for Dib, considing how fast Rogue is!
Rogue slowly turned to him with a evil eye. Dib couldn't help but snicker at the sight of Rogue's now black and blue face.
The Irkin grit her teeth, and started to tremble with anger. She slowly stood up, and shapen her eyes at the Dib human.
"THATS DOES IT!!! BRING IT ON YOU LITTLE WORM MONKEY!!!" Rogue shouted and jetted towards Dib, which didn't have time to dodge her.
~ Meanwhile, back in the front cock pit, Zim was wondering want was keeping Rogue so long. Gir was now trying to count all the stars that were outside.
"What is she doing back there?" He said.
Suddenly, Zim felt the voot cruiser sort of rock back and forth. He turned and looked back at the back door, and begun to hear something coming from inside. A sort of a hitting and banging sound. He raised an unseen eyebrow at it. Just then, the door suddenly swung open, and out came Rogue and Dib, rolling on the ground, trying to pin each other down! Zim jumped out of his seat and watched with widened eyes as Rogue quickly pinned Dib, grabbed his spikey black hair, and started to bang his head on the floor repeatly.
"Hey Master, it's your friend!" Gir said cheerfuly.
"DIB!" Zim shouted out. Rogue stopped banging the boy's big head, turned and looked at Zim while still hanging on the human's hair, and then just dropped him and stood up. "Look who I found." She said with sharp eyes towards Dib.
Dib then stood up, wobbling abit and holding his head. Zim, with a REALLY evil look on his face, stomped up to him. "I don't know HOW you got IN here..." He began. "....but I've just about had ENOUGH of your STUIPD attempts!!"
"You think I'm just going to sit back and LET you take over Earth?!" Dib said as bravely as he could. "I'm not going down that easy, "Zim"."
The Irkin grit his teeth and then said, "Well, for your infomation earth stink, at the moment, I'm trying to take over want WILL be my soon anyway!"
"Oh, come on!" Dib said rolling his eyes. "If not, then want are you doing?"
Rogue then jumped in. "You think we're going to tell you that?"
"Then you ARE up to something!" Dib said pointing his finger.
"SHUT UP! You shouldn't even be here anyway! How did you get on broad?!" Rogue asked.
Dib raised an eyebrow at her question. "What do you mean "on broad"? I saw Zim's ship take off, so I followed you. I wasn't easy, but when I caught up, I took the chance and hid in one of those steel boxes with the burn holes."
"It FELT like one of those boxes felt heavy!" Zim said with a cluched fist.
"Ha! I guess I was too smart for you and "Rogue", huh Zim." Dib said.
Rogue then crossed her arms and said, "Well, if your so smart, then now do you plan you get out when we're about a good 50 lightyears from your home planet?"
Dib sudden then noiced that he wasn't in Zim's base. He looked out the glass to see countless stars in a pool of blackness. He could feel his face turn white. "WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT IN SPACE??!!"
"LIKE I was telling you before, I'm not planing anything right now to take your planet.......not right now." Zim said.
Dib ran over to the glass and looked out at space. He then turned to Zim and Rogue. "Then what ARE you doing?"
"NO MORE QUESTIONS FROM YOU!!" Zim shouted. "I should throw you out in space and watch your flithy big head explode!"
"MY HEAD'S NOT BIG!" Dib shouted.
"I wouldn't mind seeing that." Rogue said with a little smrik.
Just then, suddenly, the voot cruiser began to heavily rock back and forth. Then there was a loud bang from the outside of cruiser, making the human and two Irkins fall down.
"Whats going on!?" Dib said.
"Hey, wait a minute, Zim, if your here, then who's at the controls?" Rogue asked, trying the stand up.
Zim wipped his head around to see the problem. Outside, to his horror, they were right in the middle of an asteroid field! And at the controls was.........
"GIR!!!" Zim shouted running to the robot, who was playing around, pushing abunch of buttons!
"LOOK AT ME MASTER! I DON'T HAVE A CLUE OF WHAT I'M DOING!!!!" Gir yelled out with a big smile.
"GIR!!! YOUR GOING TO KILL US ALL!!!" Zim shouted, going for the steering. He then pushed Gir off the seat, and tried to get out of the asteroid field. The space rocks all were coming left and right as Zim tried his best to dodge them all. But then, one asteroid as big as a house came spiraling towards them. Zim turned, but it hit the left side of the ship, and Zim started to loss control. The voot cruiser went into a spin, making the whole inside of it like a scary carnaval ride. Zim, Rogue and Dib all screamed, but Gir thought it was fun and started to giggle. Then to make all of this wrost, Zim noticed that they were heading towards a small unknown gray planet up ahead. The gravity soon grabbed the ship and it's crew, and the voot cruiser chashed on the planet.
