Chapter 14
Into Space Again
A small wind blew across the dusty gray planet. The sky was now black with no sun. Zim doozed off while he was working on his backpack, and Rogue was still sleeping with her head on his shoulder. She had a blush of red in her green cheeks. Meanwhile, Dib too was now asleep, on the same rock far off. He was still "spying" on the two aliens when he doozed off. And finally, Gir was still atop of his rubbery piggy toys, hugging one in his sleep.
The planet's sun begun to rise in the sky, slowly turning the blackness into the crimson red as it was before. The shine slowly reached Zim and Rogue. The light hits Zim's face, his moves his head a little bit, and opened one eye slowly. He raised his hand to block the sun's rays from his face. Then Rogue started to move a bit. Zim looked at her, and thought about last night, how, for some reason, he let her sleep on his shoulder like that. He could have just pushed her off, or slightly moved her off, but he didn't. Maybe it was just because he knew she was really tired, but she could have just slept on the ground or something, but,....maybe he didn't want her to. The ground WAS really dusty, and she probably would have not gotten any sleep on something like that. He then thought of one other thing, he suddenly recalled that he too felt "redness" in his face last night. He remembered Rogue saying something about not to worry about it, that it's not really that bad, but, she was talking to Gir went she said that. Gir could have told her anything, and she could have believed it. Of course, all in all, the "redness"......didn't feel so bad.
Suddenly, Rogue finally started to wake up. She rosed from Zim's shoulder, and let out a long big yawn. When she went to open her eyes, the sun's rays made her close them quickly. She used both of her hands to block the light from her sleepy eyes. "Blasted sun!" She suddenly said tiredly and angerly.
At hearing Rogue words, Zim just started to snicker under his breath. Rogue shot her head towards him with a raised eye. "What?" She asked.
"(snicker) Nothing." He answered with a small smrik.
Rogue noticed Zim backpack still on his lap. "Did you stay up all night working on that?"
"Uh, no, I sort of fell asleep while doing it." He answered. He then picked up a small tool he was using on it last night, and started to work on it again.
A few short moments passed by before Rogue asked him something. "Right after your finish with that, we'll be far, right?"
"Of course, why?" Zim said.
Rogue rubbed her eyes, and then answered. "Well, I was just thinking, are you any the lest bit worried about this whole thing? I mean, if you think about it, we are most likely the only ones that are even going to attempt this! It's like a milestone!"
Zim stopped working on the pack and thought for a minute. "Yes, I HAVE thought about that, but think about this, we might have a better chance then any because of you Rogue. You have alot of knowlege of the Tallest's ship and their other operation bulidings. The only other people that even have the chance to know about that are the highly trained guards that help the Tallest out. Your like those guards, but you also have the highest qualitys of a top nach invater. You have amazing battling skills, and you have powerful weapons just in your arms alone! That doesn't count your incredible speed."
Rogue looked at the Irkin invader, and just out of the blue, she desplayed a gentle smile, and turned red in the face once more. She tried to hide her red face by covering it with both hands.
"Your red again." Zim said to her whlie going back to his pack, not really thinking of it anymore. Rogue glaced at him at the corner of her purple eyes. She lowered her hands, and rested them on her knees. She then just muddered out, "Thanks."
"What?" Zim said looking up.
"Thanks for saying all that." She said, still smiling. "The whole time I was in training, I was always pointed out to my bad points, never my good points. You the very first one who said things about my GOOD points." Her smile then slightly grew bigger. She looked at Zim with that smile, and her sharp eyes, but right at that moment, her eyes didn't look so sharp. They somehow looked softer, and the shine from the planet's morning sun made them sparkle.
Zim looked at her eyes. A sudden new feeling came over him that he didn't quite understand. His insides felt all knotted up. It wasn't a sick feeling though. It was just...different. And then, the last thing to the "strange feeling" happened, Zim's face turned bright red.
But then........
"WHO WANTS FLAPJACKS!!!!"
The two red faced aliens jumped at the sudden outbust of the crazy little robot behind them. They both turned around to see Gir, to their surprise, holding a plate of "something" that looked like deformed, ooze dipping, flat cakes. Both Zim and Rogue's faces immediately turned from red to greener then usually at the sight, and smell of the odd colored pancakes. They threw their hands over thier mouths, holding back being sick. Gir just stood there with his usual big happy-go-lucky grin on his face.
"I forget theses were in my head for about a month!" Gir said. "Want some?"
Rogue quickly got up and stepped back from the evil looking, month old, human breakfast food. Her cheeks suddenly then puffed out, she held her mouth again, and ran to go behind a near by rock. (I think we know why she did that! ^.^)
"GIR!" Zim shouted while sheliding his invisable nose from the horrible stench.
"MASTER!" Gir shouted back in a loud, yet cute tone.
"Put that BACK in your HEAD GIR! PLEZZZ!!" Zim commaned.
"Don't want any? OKAY!!" Gir went to put the pancakes back, but then instead, he sloved them in his mouth, plate and all, and swallowed. "Mmmmmmmmmmm, GOOOY!" He said licking his chops. Now Zim felt like going behind a rock for a moment after seeing that! Gir then skipped off towards his piggy plie he slept on last night.
Zim's face slowly turned back to it's normal shade of green. He then turned around to see Rogue coming back from behind the rock, wipping her mouth and holding her belly. She walked up to Zim with a still nauses look.
Zim cleared his throut. "Are you...okay?"
"Yeah, I'm...(urk!) fine." Rogue answered sickly. "What a THING to wake up to."
"Remind me sometime to inform Gir to clean out his head." Zim said. "Who KNOWS what else is in there!"
Rogue went quiet. She rubbed on her still qisy stomach and then glaced at Zim at the corner of her eye. Seconds before Gir popped up, she noticed that Zim's face went red! Did that mean what she thought it meant? Just thinking about it was causing her insides to twist again, like many times before. She thought maybe she should ask him, but that suddenly just made her insides twist even more!
However, Rogue wasn't the only one thinking about this. At the same time, Zim too was having a little "thinking to himself" thing too.
'What was WRONG with me just then?? For a moment there, it felt like my sqeeduleesplooch tied itself up in a knot!' He looked over at Rogue. 'Rogue...all I did was look at her, and.....' Rogue's eyes turned, and made contact with Zim's.
"Whatisit!?" (means=what is it) She asked in a sudden fast pace tone with widened eyes. Their eyes meeting knocked her out of her deep thinking state.
"Nothing!" Zim said in the same fast speaking as her.
"Oh, okay!"
The two stared at one another for a brif moment.
"........."
"...Uh, well...I better get back to...that, uh, my...my, pack! Right." Zim said, still looking at Rogue.
"Yeah, um, I'll...uh, I'll....go do something too!" Rogue said.
"Okay!" Zim said.
"Right!" Rogue said reposing back quickly.
The two then seperated. Zim went back to his backpack, with a bit of confusing in his eyes, and Rogue just walked off in the opposite direction, blushing bad. She just kept walking, not really looking at were she was going. She was too busy rubbing on her face, thinking that would make the red go away. She didn't see one of Gir's toys on the ground in her walking path. She tripped on it, falling on her face. When she looked up from the ground, she saw the crazy little owner of the toy standing infront of her.
"Heeey! You found my lost piggy!" Gir cheered. He went over to it, picked it up, and stuffed it in his head. "Now they ALLLL back home!!!" Gir just picked up all of the toys he was sleeping on.
Rogue picked herself up and dusted off, now with a even redder face from the fall. She looked down at the SIR. An adorable smile grew on his face. He suddenly started to hop, up and down, kicking up dust. Rogue threw a little "huh?" look.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!" Gir shouted. He went into backflips, rolls, and other forms of running around for no good reason. Rogue just stared on at the little robot's antics, and let out a small sigh.
Gir went into a long ground roll, heading towards the still sleeping Dib human. Like a stone skipping on the water, Gir skipped up and down on the ground a few times before smaking into Dib, knocking him right off his rock, immediately waking up with the nutty robot on top of him. The spiky haired boy had to blink a few times before seeing what hit him. Gir had his face right up to his with extended eyes. Dib freaked, and pushed Gir off. He scrambbed up, and glared at the robot.
"Whats the big idea!?" Dib said to Gir angerly.
"GOOD MORNING MR. BIG HEAD!!!" Gir suddenly sqeeled.
Dib's eyes slanted. "For the last time, my head is NOT BIG!! Got it?"
Gir went into one of his blank staring modes. Dib crossed his arms and started tapping his foot. "Hello? Helloo, did you hear me?"
The SIR suddenly dived at Dib,clinged on to his face, and went into a tight hug around his "big" head. (Okay, how many out there KNOWS Dib's head is big? Come on, lets see some hands!! ^-^)
"I LOVE YOU TOOOO!!!!" Gir cooded. Dib began to run around screaming, trying to get the clinging Gir off his face. The more he tried, the more Gir sqeezed. Not able to see anything infront of him, he started running towards where the voot cruiser sat. Rogue was standing infront of it, not really paying attention, or not caring for that matter, to why the Dib worm was screaming, and not noticing that he was running towards her, untill it was too late. He ran right into her, knocking her down hard on the ground, she got a mouth full of gray dust. He too fell on top of her. He immedately got right up, still trying to tug Gir off. With a evil death look in her eye, Rogue slowly got up, coughed out the dust, and scarled at Dib. Dib was now attempting to get Gir off by hitting his face on the ground, but Gir was just injoying it more. As much as she liked watching this, Rogue walked over to Dib, grabbed on to the SIR's little body, and with one good yank, Gir was off. The boy stumbled back abit, rubbing on his face, which now had a red inprint of Gir on it. At the sight of his face, Rogue let out a snicker.
Meanwhile, as that was going on, Zim finaly was finished with the repears on his backpack. He give it a quick look over, and smiled at his sucessful repear job. It began to make a low humming sound. It then hovered in the air, moved to itself to Zim's back, and reattached itself. The Irkin invater got up and streched out his limbs. He turned to face the voot cruiser, and to see the Dib and Rogue yelling at one another for "some" reason, with Gir looking like he was hiding behind Rogue. Zim shot a look, and started making his way to them. The closer he got, he heard what they were shouting at each other about.
"I knew you and Zim were planing something!!" Dib shouted.
"What the HECK are you talking about?!" Rogue shouted back. "He ALWAYS acts like that! We didn't tell him to go and suffocate you! Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard! You humans truthly are stuipd!"
"Don't go and try to trick me, you rotten alien! I know how you and Zim's sick minds work!"
"Oh really? Besides, we wouldn't go tell Gir to go do that...." Rogue said with a smrik. "I'd asked Zim if I could do that MYSELF!"
"SEIZE WITH THIS SHOUTING THE BOTH OF YOU!" Zim yelled out at them.
"He started it!" Rogue said pointing to Dib. "He's saying that you and I told Gir to go suffocate him to death!"
Zim looked down at his little SIR. Gir glaced back with a "want I do?" look. Zim then glared back up at the human. Dib glared back and then said, "I'm not falling for ANYTHING, "Zim". I know you and Rogue too much to fall for any dumb trick you two try to pull!"
Rogue walked up to Zim, and whispered to him, "Plezzzz, can we get rit of him now!? I can't TAKE that sick looking worm baby anymore!"
Rogue knew about Zim's dream to take care of that problem back on the boy's home planet. To see the shock on Dib's face when Zim's day of triumphant victory finally arrives! And Zim still kind of wanted it that way. He looked at Rogue, still waiting of his answer. But then, a "little" idea came up. One of his evil little smirks appeared on his face. He waved to Gir to come over to him.
"Oh Gir..." He said in a uncommon tone of voice for him. "Do you like playing with the Dib human? Do you, uh?"
Dib's already big eyes widened at Zim's words. Rogue shot a weird look. Zim whispered something to the SIR. Gir reposed with a red eye salute, and then a giggle. Zim suddenly give Dib a creeply looking glare, at made Dib get a sick feeling in his stomach. Rogue just looked at the both of them, wondering, 'What the heck is he planning?'
*About ten minutes later...*
~ "Alright! Next stop, Irk!" Zim said in the front seat of the voot cruiser with Rogue in the other front seat, both having a unusually satisfying smile on thier faces. In the back seat, tied up and gagged, was the Dib child, and Gir next to him, staring at him, REALLY freaking him out.
"I have to say, this is a great idea." Rogue said to Zim.
Zim leaned over and looked behind to the two back seaters. "Gir, you just keep the Earth spore busy on the rest of the trip, alright?" Rogue then leaned over and said with a smile, "Thats right, keep him busy, and QUIET, okay?"
"OOOOOOOOkay!" Gir answered, not taking his staring metal eyes off of Dib. The Earth boy muffled "something" angerly under the gag to Zim and Rogue. The two Irkins turned back in thier seat, and began to laugh at the human's situation. Gir too began to laugh, right in Dib's ear. He suddenly stopped, grabbed hold of Dib's face, streched out his cheeks, and then let go. He then just kept on doing it, giggling all the way. Dib struggled, but that didn't help that all. Zim, Rogue, and the SIR laughed away at the Dib's misfortune as the cruiser lifted off the planet, and jetted off into the blackness of space, towards planet Irk.
~ 36 hours later...(Thats one and a half of a day!)...the voot cruiser's crew was now only a mere 9 hours away for thier destination. During those hours, it was surprising smooth and somewhat quiet, thanks to Gir "watching" Dib. The human's face was now all red from Gir streching it for the first 10 hours or so, and his hair was now more spiky and messy. After Gir was done with his face, he took out a can of Poop from his little head, and just poured it all over Dib's head, saying something like, "Your big head looks thristy!" or something like that. It was one crazy little antic after another. Gir was now showing Dib all his piggys and mooseys, by shoving them in his face one by one.
During the whole time, Zim and Rogue took hold of the chance that Gir and the Dib were both too busy to do anything that would put them at risk. Zim has put the voot cruiser into auto mode ever since take off, and to two just been resting the whole time. (I have a idea! Lets come back later and see how thier doing then! ^-^)
*7 hours later*
"*HAAA HAA HA HA HA!* Do it again Gir!" Rogue said, kneeling backwards in her seat, looking over at Gir.
The little robot grabbed hold of Dib's big black spike of hair, and chucked him across the back seat, hitting his head on the ship's wall for about the fourth time in a row. Rogue let out another brust of laugher. It was her idea for Gir to that.
Zim glaced over at Rogue in his seat. He's never seen her so happy and relaxed before. Like him, she liked seeing the Earth monkey get hurt. The thought of that made Zim smile. It was a nice thought, at someone else liked something that he liked.
"Okay Gir, thats enough! My insides hurt." Rogue said still laughing. She sat back in her seat normaly, sighing with a grin. A few more giggles and snickers escapes her lips before she turned her head to looked at Zim. He looked back at her, thinking why she suddenly just looked at him. As he did, she smiled at him, and that smile, suddenly made Zim froze. It was the same smile she made back on the gray and red planet, during the planet's sunrise. Zim could feel his heart-like organ run like a hundred miles an hour. He looked down at his chest, and placed his hand on it to feel. Rogue cocked her head when he did that.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
Zim shot his head up at her words. "W-What?"He said looking at her.
Rogue leaned over closer to Zim and saw where he had his hand on his chest. "Something wrong with your uniform or something?" She asked looking back up at him. Her face was only about two inchs away from his. When she looked up at him, Zim suddenly sort of jumped in his seat. He didn't understand exactly WHY he did that however. When he jumped, it made Rogue fall back in her seat. You can said that she sort of jumped too. The two, without really knowing it, began to stare at one another in thier seats. A mintue pasted, but it felt like a hour to them. Some, unknown feeling was causing them to kept on looking at each other.
But before anymore time pasted, the computer's voice on the cruiser's control panal boomed out saying, "TWO HOURS AND COUNTING UNTILL PLANET IRK IS REACHED." Rogue and Zim blinked at the sound of the voice, and THEN realized how they were looking at each other for a little while. They suddenly shot thier heads away from one another, and both looked out the ship's window.
A couple minutes of silence passed; Gir was now sleeping next to a K.O.ed Dib(hee hee hee, I AM evil! ^-^); before Zim spoke up saying, "Uh....What were we talking about before, Rogue?"
Rogue, still looking out the window, answered saying, "..........Beats me, I don't remember."
"Oh." Zim said. "........What did the computer say just now?"
"Something about Irk is only two hours away."
".........Oh, right."
As the two gazed out at the black sea of stars that is space, thier faces once again went.........(ah, you know. ^-^) In only two short hours, thier long trip to Irk will be at an end, but the new question is: What will happen when they finally get there?
BE TO CONTINUED..............................

Into Space Again
A small wind blew across the dusty gray planet. The sky was now black with no sun. Zim doozed off while he was working on his backpack, and Rogue was still sleeping with her head on his shoulder. She had a blush of red in her green cheeks. Meanwhile, Dib too was now asleep, on the same rock far off. He was still "spying" on the two aliens when he doozed off. And finally, Gir was still atop of his rubbery piggy toys, hugging one in his sleep.
The planet's sun begun to rise in the sky, slowly turning the blackness into the crimson red as it was before. The shine slowly reached Zim and Rogue. The light hits Zim's face, his moves his head a little bit, and opened one eye slowly. He raised his hand to block the sun's rays from his face. Then Rogue started to move a bit. Zim looked at her, and thought about last night, how, for some reason, he let her sleep on his shoulder like that. He could have just pushed her off, or slightly moved her off, but he didn't. Maybe it was just because he knew she was really tired, but she could have just slept on the ground or something, but,....maybe he didn't want her to. The ground WAS really dusty, and she probably would have not gotten any sleep on something like that. He then thought of one other thing, he suddenly recalled that he too felt "redness" in his face last night. He remembered Rogue saying something about not to worry about it, that it's not really that bad, but, she was talking to Gir went she said that. Gir could have told her anything, and she could have believed it. Of course, all in all, the "redness"......didn't feel so bad.
Suddenly, Rogue finally started to wake up. She rosed from Zim's shoulder, and let out a long big yawn. When she went to open her eyes, the sun's rays made her close them quickly. She used both of her hands to block the light from her sleepy eyes. "Blasted sun!" She suddenly said tiredly and angerly.
At hearing Rogue words, Zim just started to snicker under his breath. Rogue shot her head towards him with a raised eye. "What?" She asked.
"(snicker) Nothing." He answered with a small smrik.
Rogue noticed Zim backpack still on his lap. "Did you stay up all night working on that?"
"Uh, no, I sort of fell asleep while doing it." He answered. He then picked up a small tool he was using on it last night, and started to work on it again.
A few short moments passed by before Rogue asked him something. "Right after your finish with that, we'll be far, right?"
"Of course, why?" Zim said.
Rogue rubbed her eyes, and then answered. "Well, I was just thinking, are you any the lest bit worried about this whole thing? I mean, if you think about it, we are most likely the only ones that are even going to attempt this! It's like a milestone!"
Zim stopped working on the pack and thought for a minute. "Yes, I HAVE thought about that, but think about this, we might have a better chance then any because of you Rogue. You have alot of knowlege of the Tallest's ship and their other operation bulidings. The only other people that even have the chance to know about that are the highly trained guards that help the Tallest out. Your like those guards, but you also have the highest qualitys of a top nach invater. You have amazing battling skills, and you have powerful weapons just in your arms alone! That doesn't count your incredible speed."
Rogue looked at the Irkin invader, and just out of the blue, she desplayed a gentle smile, and turned red in the face once more. She tried to hide her red face by covering it with both hands.
"Your red again." Zim said to her whlie going back to his pack, not really thinking of it anymore. Rogue glaced at him at the corner of her purple eyes. She lowered her hands, and rested them on her knees. She then just muddered out, "Thanks."
"What?" Zim said looking up.
"Thanks for saying all that." She said, still smiling. "The whole time I was in training, I was always pointed out to my bad points, never my good points. You the very first one who said things about my GOOD points." Her smile then slightly grew bigger. She looked at Zim with that smile, and her sharp eyes, but right at that moment, her eyes didn't look so sharp. They somehow looked softer, and the shine from the planet's morning sun made them sparkle.
Zim looked at her eyes. A sudden new feeling came over him that he didn't quite understand. His insides felt all knotted up. It wasn't a sick feeling though. It was just...different. And then, the last thing to the "strange feeling" happened, Zim's face turned bright red.
But then........
"WHO WANTS FLAPJACKS!!!!"
The two red faced aliens jumped at the sudden outbust of the crazy little robot behind them. They both turned around to see Gir, to their surprise, holding a plate of "something" that looked like deformed, ooze dipping, flat cakes. Both Zim and Rogue's faces immediately turned from red to greener then usually at the sight, and smell of the odd colored pancakes. They threw their hands over thier mouths, holding back being sick. Gir just stood there with his usual big happy-go-lucky grin on his face.
"I forget theses were in my head for about a month!" Gir said. "Want some?"
Rogue quickly got up and stepped back from the evil looking, month old, human breakfast food. Her cheeks suddenly then puffed out, she held her mouth again, and ran to go behind a near by rock. (I think we know why she did that! ^.^)
"GIR!" Zim shouted while sheliding his invisable nose from the horrible stench.
"MASTER!" Gir shouted back in a loud, yet cute tone.
"Put that BACK in your HEAD GIR! PLEZZZ!!" Zim commaned.
"Don't want any? OKAY!!" Gir went to put the pancakes back, but then instead, he sloved them in his mouth, plate and all, and swallowed. "Mmmmmmmmmmm, GOOOY!" He said licking his chops. Now Zim felt like going behind a rock for a moment after seeing that! Gir then skipped off towards his piggy plie he slept on last night.
Zim's face slowly turned back to it's normal shade of green. He then turned around to see Rogue coming back from behind the rock, wipping her mouth and holding her belly. She walked up to Zim with a still nauses look.

Rogue went quiet. She rubbed on her still qisy stomach and then glaced at Zim at the corner of her eye. Seconds before Gir popped up, she noticed that Zim's face went red! Did that mean what she thought it meant? Just thinking about it was causing her insides to twist again, like many times before. She thought maybe she should ask him, but that suddenly just made her insides twist even more!
However, Rogue wasn't the only one thinking about this. At the same time, Zim too was having a little "thinking to himself" thing too.
'What was WRONG with me just then?? For a moment there, it felt like my sqeeduleesplooch tied itself up in a knot!' He looked over at Rogue. 'Rogue...all I did was look at her, and.....' Rogue's eyes turned, and made contact with Zim's.
"Whatisit!?" (means=what is it) She asked in a sudden fast pace tone with widened eyes. Their eyes meeting knocked her out of her deep thinking state.
"Nothing!" Zim said in the same fast speaking as her.
"Oh, okay!"
The two stared at one another for a brif moment.
"........."
"...Uh, well...I better get back to...that, uh, my...my, pack! Right." Zim said, still looking at Rogue.
"Yeah, um, I'll...uh, I'll....go do something too!" Rogue said.
"Okay!" Zim said.
"Right!" Rogue said reposing back quickly.
The two then seperated. Zim went back to his backpack, with a bit of confusing in his eyes, and Rogue just walked off in the opposite direction, blushing bad. She just kept walking, not really looking at were she was going. She was too busy rubbing on her face, thinking that would make the red go away. She didn't see one of Gir's toys on the ground in her walking path. She tripped on it, falling on her face. When she looked up from the ground, she saw the crazy little owner of the toy standing infront of her.
"Heeey! You found my lost piggy!" Gir cheered. He went over to it, picked it up, and stuffed it in his head. "Now they ALLLL back home!!!" Gir just picked up all of the toys he was sleeping on.
Rogue picked herself up and dusted off, now with a even redder face from the fall. She looked down at the SIR. An adorable smile grew on his face. He suddenly started to hop, up and down, kicking up dust. Rogue threw a little "huh?" look.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!!!" Gir shouted. He went into backflips, rolls, and other forms of running around for no good reason. Rogue just stared on at the little robot's antics, and let out a small sigh.
Gir went into a long ground roll, heading towards the still sleeping Dib human. Like a stone skipping on the water, Gir skipped up and down on the ground a few times before smaking into Dib, knocking him right off his rock, immediately waking up with the nutty robot on top of him. The spiky haired boy had to blink a few times before seeing what hit him. Gir had his face right up to his with extended eyes. Dib freaked, and pushed Gir off. He scrambbed up, and glared at the robot.
"Whats the big idea!?" Dib said to Gir angerly.
"GOOD MORNING MR. BIG HEAD!!!" Gir suddenly sqeeled.
Dib's eyes slanted. "For the last time, my head is NOT BIG!! Got it?"
Gir went into one of his blank staring modes. Dib crossed his arms and started tapping his foot. "Hello? Helloo, did you hear me?"
The SIR suddenly dived at Dib,clinged on to his face, and went into a tight hug around his "big" head. (Okay, how many out there KNOWS Dib's head is big? Come on, lets see some hands!! ^-^)
"I LOVE YOU TOOOO!!!!" Gir cooded. Dib began to run around screaming, trying to get the clinging Gir off his face. The more he tried, the more Gir sqeezed. Not able to see anything infront of him, he started running towards where the voot cruiser sat. Rogue was standing infront of it, not really paying attention, or not caring for that matter, to why the Dib worm was screaming, and not noticing that he was running towards her, untill it was too late. He ran right into her, knocking her down hard on the ground, she got a mouth full of gray dust. He too fell on top of her. He immedately got right up, still trying to tug Gir off. With a evil death look in her eye, Rogue slowly got up, coughed out the dust, and scarled at Dib. Dib was now attempting to get Gir off by hitting his face on the ground, but Gir was just injoying it more.

Zim shot a look, and started making his way to them. The closer he got, he heard what they were shouting at each other about.
"I knew you and Zim were planing something!!" Dib shouted.
"What the HECK are you talking about?!" Rogue shouted back. "He ALWAYS acts like that! We didn't tell him to go and suffocate you! Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard! You humans truthly are stuipd!"
"Don't go and try to trick me, you rotten alien! I know how you and Zim's sick minds work!"
"Oh really? Besides, we wouldn't go tell Gir to go do that...." Rogue said with a smrik. "I'd asked Zim if I could do that MYSELF!"
"SEIZE WITH THIS SHOUTING THE BOTH OF YOU!" Zim yelled out at them.
"He started it!" Rogue said pointing to Dib. "He's saying that you and I told Gir to go suffocate him to death!"
Zim looked down at his little SIR. Gir glaced back with a "want I do?" look. Zim then glared back up at the human. Dib glared back and then said, "I'm not falling for ANYTHING, "Zim". I know you and Rogue too much to fall for any dumb trick you two try to pull!"
Rogue walked up to Zim, and whispered to him, "Plezzzz, can we get rit of him now!? I can't TAKE that sick looking worm baby anymore!"
Rogue knew about Zim's dream to take care of that problem back on the boy's home planet. To see the shock on Dib's face when Zim's day of triumphant victory finally arrives! And Zim still kind of wanted it that way. He looked at Rogue, still waiting of his answer. But then, a "little" idea came up. One of his evil little smirks appeared on his face. He waved to Gir to come over to him.
"Oh Gir..." He said in a uncommon tone of voice for him. "Do you like playing with the Dib human? Do you, uh?"
Dib's already big eyes widened at Zim's words. Rogue shot a weird look. Zim whispered something to the SIR. Gir reposed with a red eye salute, and then a giggle. Zim suddenly give Dib a creeply looking glare, at made Dib get a sick feeling in his stomach. Rogue just looked at the both of them, wondering, 'What the heck is he planning?'
*About ten minutes later...*
~ "Alright! Next stop, Irk!" Zim said in the front seat of the voot cruiser with Rogue in the other front seat, both having a unusually satisfying smile on thier faces. In the back seat, tied up and gagged, was the Dib child, and Gir next to him, staring at him, REALLY freaking him out.
"I have to say, this is a great idea." Rogue said to Zim.
Zim leaned over and looked behind to the two back seaters. "Gir, you just keep the Earth spore busy on the rest of the trip, alright?" Rogue then leaned over and said with a smile, "Thats right, keep him busy, and QUIET, okay?"
"OOOOOOOOkay!" Gir answered, not taking his staring metal eyes off of Dib. The Earth boy muffled "something" angerly under the gag to Zim and Rogue. The two Irkins turned back in thier seat, and began to laugh at the human's situation. Gir too began to laugh, right in Dib's ear. He suddenly stopped, grabbed hold of Dib's face, streched out his cheeks, and then let go. He then just kept on doing it, giggling all the way. Dib struggled, but that didn't help that all. Zim, Rogue, and the SIR laughed away at the Dib's misfortune as the cruiser lifted off the planet, and jetted off into the blackness of space, towards planet Irk.
~ 36 hours later...(Thats one and a half of a day!)...the voot cruiser's crew was now only a mere 9 hours away for thier destination. During those hours, it was surprising smooth and somewhat quiet, thanks to Gir "watching" Dib. The human's face was now all red from Gir streching it for the first 10 hours or so, and his hair was now more spiky and messy. After Gir was done with his face, he took out a can of Poop from his little head, and just poured it all over Dib's head, saying something like, "Your big head looks thristy!" or something like that. It was one crazy little antic after another. Gir was now showing Dib all his piggys and mooseys, by shoving them in his face one by one.
During the whole time, Zim and Rogue took hold of the chance that Gir and the Dib were both too busy to do anything that would put them at risk. Zim has put the voot cruiser into auto mode ever since take off, and to two just been resting the whole time. (I have a idea! Lets come back later and see how thier doing then! ^-^)
*7 hours later*
"*HAAA HAA HA HA HA!* Do it again Gir!" Rogue said, kneeling backwards in her seat, looking over at Gir.
The little robot grabbed hold of Dib's big black spike of hair, and chucked him across the back seat, hitting his head on the ship's wall for about the fourth time in a row. Rogue let out another brust of laugher. It was her idea for Gir to that.
Zim glaced over at Rogue in his seat. He's never seen her so happy and relaxed before. Like him, she liked seeing the Earth monkey get hurt. The thought of that made Zim smile. It was a nice thought, at someone else liked something that he liked.
"Okay Gir, thats enough! My insides hurt." Rogue said still laughing. She sat back in her seat normaly, sighing with a grin. A few more giggles and snickers escapes her lips before she turned her head to looked at Zim. He looked back at her, thinking why she suddenly just looked at him. As he did, she smiled at him, and that smile, suddenly made Zim froze. It was the same smile she made back on the gray and red planet, during the planet's sunrise. Zim could feel his heart-like organ run like a hundred miles an hour. He looked down at his chest, and placed his hand on it to feel. Rogue cocked her head when he did that.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
Zim shot his head up at her words. "W-What?"He said looking at her.
Rogue leaned over closer to Zim and saw where he had his hand on his chest. "Something wrong with your uniform or something?" She asked looking back up at him. Her face was only about two inchs away from his. When she looked up at him, Zim suddenly sort of jumped in his seat. He didn't understand exactly WHY he did that however. When he jumped, it made Rogue fall back in her seat. You can said that she sort of jumped too. The two, without really knowing it, began to stare at one another in thier seats. A mintue pasted, but it felt like a hour to them. Some, unknown feeling was causing them to kept on looking at each other.
But before anymore time pasted, the computer's voice on the cruiser's control panal boomed out saying, "TWO HOURS AND COUNTING UNTILL PLANET IRK IS REACHED." Rogue and Zim blinked at the sound of the voice, and THEN realized how they were looking at each other for a little while. They suddenly shot thier heads away from one another, and both looked out the ship's window.
A couple minutes of silence passed; Gir was now sleeping next to a K.O.ed Dib(hee hee hee, I AM evil! ^-^); before Zim spoke up saying, "Uh....What were we talking about before, Rogue?"
Rogue, still looking out the window, answered saying, "..........Beats me, I don't remember."
"Oh." Zim said. "........What did the computer say just now?"
"Something about Irk is only two hours away."
".........Oh, right."
As the two gazed out at the black sea of stars that is space, thier faces once again went.........(ah, you know. ^-^) In only two short hours, thier long trip to Irk will be at an end, but the new question is: What will happen when they finally get there?
