Episode 106a/b: Romancing the Tim

Written by Dither

A/N: Almost no one reviewed the last scene, and I was sad. This is a fic I was really looking forward to writing. Well, I'll tweak the summary. Maybe it's the title that is keeping people away?

On the Scary Monkey website, I found out the names of all the members of Ms. Bitters' klass, so you'll see in my fics, that I'll start naming names and telling what individuals are doing. ^.^

Scene 2

Fade In

Scene opens on a horror-struck klass. Some students are holding hands over their mouths, and most of them are shades of green rivaling Zim. Some are collapsed on the floor, unconscious. Dib is not in the classroom. Neither is Zim

Ms. Bitters: . and that, children, is how he came to be known as Santa Claus.

Chunk collapses. William starts squealing and runs through a wall

Ms. Bitters pushes a button on her uber-phone

Ms. Bitters: We've got a squealy one on the loose.

Seconds later, giant guards smash through the wall, bearing William. Ms. Bitters points at his chair and one of the guards hurls him at it. He is still squealing

Dib walks in just in time to dodge the guards as they make their way back out. He wipes his mouth off and sits down

Dib: What'd I miss?

Ms. Bitters: glares at Dib You hideous child. to klass Because Dib was not in the room at the time of the lecture, I will have to give it again.

A number of the students leap from their seats. Some pummel Dib, others run out into the hall. Others leap out the windows to their Doom

Dib: being pummeled What? What'd I do?

Fades in on Zim in Base. Zim is sitting at a console, consulting different human foods

Zim squints at them, making loud thinking noises

Zim: Leaping up out of the chair WHY!?! It's not a pea! It's not a nut! WHY IS IT A PEANUT!

GIR falls onto the floor from the ceiling

Zim grabs GIR by the head and shakes him

Zim: WHY GIR?! Why? These humans! They ... they taunt me!

GIR squeals, then grabs Zim's head and squeezes it

Zim: RRRRRRRR! USELESS!

Zim throws GIR across the room

GIR: Weeeeeeeeeeee woooooooooooooooo!

Zim is panting. He is filled with UNQUENCHABLE ANGER

Zim: Human-stink ... so ... RRRRRRR ... STUPID!

Zim grabs the sides of his head and shakes it back and forth violently

Zim: RRRR-RRRRrrrr-RRRRRRrrrRRR-RRRrrrrRRRrrr-rrrrRRRR! swinging head around

GIR watches, dumbfounded

GIR: Master? Are you sick?

Zim begins smacking his head against a keyboard

Zim: So. Stupid. Earthans. So. Stupid. Tall. Stupid. In between successive hits

Base: Um ... Sir ...

Zim continues banging his head

Base: SIR!

Banging continues

Robotic arms extend and grab Zim's head before he can hit the console with it again

Base: Sir, please ... stop.

Zim: Eh?

Base: Stop hitting yourself.

Zim: Eh?

Base: Stop-

Zim: Eh?

Base: You're getting your ... skin ... matter all over my console.

Zim: Your console, eh?

Base: Yes, my ...

Zim: YOUR console, ...

Base: Yea-

Zim: Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?

Zim continues, being progressively more annoying

Base: AAAAAAHHHHRGH!! Circuits! Overloading!

The lights go out in the Base

Fades in on docking bay. Tak is looking around at the ships entering and leaving the bay

A voice from behind her startles her. It is Jezo

Jezo: Hey, Tak.

Tak: What? You spill something and need my help?

Jezo: Hilarious.

Jezo rummages in his ID Pak, which, oddly enough, is on his chest, instead of his back. He pulls out an odd, lumping bundle, wrapped in a greasy cloth

Jezo: He- ... he looks like he has some misgivings here. This is for you. Think of it as ... a bonus.

Tak accepts the bundle with a look of apprehension

Tak: Thank you, ... I think.

Jezo: Anyway ... don't open it until I'm gone. I don't want to explain it.

Jezo turns his back and waves a hand carelessly as he trudges away. He stops, looks back at Tak, then resumes walking back to his unattended bar

Tak: Looking at the package suspiciously This better not explode...

Tak unwraps the greasy bundle to find a mass of wires and metal plates. The remains of a SIR unit. A very familiar SIR unit

Tak: Amazed, prodding a bit with a gloved claw Mimi? Is that you?

A light flickers on, and a warped computer voice is faintly heard

Mimi: Mimi, reporting for duty.

Tak holds the dissembled bits of her former SIR unit to her chest and looks out into space from the dock. Camera follows her gaze, and pushes out of the dock, past a number of speeding craft, before settling on a view of the large fleet

The massive cannot be seen, but plenty of other gigantic ships are visible, all orbiting a bright, blinking, city-covered planet

Fade out

End of Scene 2

A/N: I just found out that the concept for Bolognius Maximus was based on The Fly. I can't believe I didn't figure that out before.

Anyway, that's one more reason not to feel bad for making EVERY OTHER fic a parody of a movie or movie concept.
