Chapter Three
Two days had pass and Gaz drove on to school. Still having painful guilt's racing threw her mind. Everything that she had done wrong, flashback quickly threw her body. Bringing down could shivers as she hold the wheel. How could she be so damn stupid? To many things were blasting threw her head, nothing seem to go right. Gaz wondered if ZIM was going to arrive at school or not.she hoped that she didn't do anything to serious.
This was getting stupid. Her hand turned the knob of the used car. It was Dib's and he still hadn't finished college. The radio clicked on, she flinched as it was turned to some punk crap! Gaz pushed the button, trying to find her station. Then she heard a low whisper coming from it. "Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit the floor." She smiled and turned up all the way, why the loud screams blasted threw the car. There was nothing like Drowning Pool in the morning to clear your thoughts.
Her window was down; she didn't even notice that people could hear it from outside. Some old guy drove up to her at a stoplight. He looked at her strangely. Gaz glanced at him a few times, then put up two devil horns and stuck her tongue out. She laughed as he went straight threw the light with his freaked out expression.
When she had reached the sad and stupid high school, Gaz sighed in annoyance. She parked next to a black truck. Turning off the radio and the car, Gaz grabbed her KoRn CD and her CD player. It was really early and she didn't want to see ZIM on the way. That's why she had left so early, and Gaz had a feeling he was going to look for her. She decided to just hang outside tell they had to go in.
There were a few other people, a small group of five smoking pot and planning on skipping school. She put her earphones on and put it to "A freak on a leash." The guitar was playing in its freaky motion and Gaz sat down on the wall, thinking silently.
This is what she did to ZIM. She had made him a fucking freak on a leash. Hopeless and no release! She left him on a rusted blade so hard. it brought pain to him. She closed her eyes, putting her head back. Trying to erase what she done out of her mind. The cool breeze swept threw her hair. A few annoying crows chirped. It sounded so dead.
The only reason ZIM had been in High school was because he had to stay behind for the lack of his grades. Of course the reason of school being so useless, he decided to accept it. Still trying to take over the earth, the Tallest had put up with his calls. Sooner or later they stopped answering, and ZIM was getting confused and curious.
***
Days had passed and the Irken Empire where camping out in the carrier. It was so small there wasn't hardly any room. Tak didn't want to get involved with the other crew and slept in a small corner. Rolled up in a little tiny ball. Her eyes were closed still tired and frustrated from the battle. She smelled of dead flesh, but Tak was used to this, because she used to have to work on some janitor planet.
Her purple eyes stirred open as a flicker of two suns shimmering from the outside. Tak lay on her coat, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt. Her tag that had her name and location was around neck. It was getting annoying wearing that thing, but if she didn't have it then she would have been vanished from the mission. Once they were done with the war, she would have to go on for more training.
Tak didn't always enjoy it, but after ZIM ruining her life. It was the only thing she had left to do. She hated him so much for that, and soon, she will kill him. She shook in hatred as she stood up, shaking her fist. Her glance came to Invader NNY. He was sleeping on a chair, and drool came out of his mouth. NNY snored loudly. Should she wake everyone up? Or wasn't only for emergency's?
She thought it would be safer to wake NNY first. Tak jumped over the sleeping soldiers. Then tapped NNY on the shoulder, saying in a small whisper, "NNY! Wake up! It's like 6:00!" NNY looked up sleepily. Then turned away and tried to avoid her voice. Tak crossed her arms, this was important! He was hired to be there commander, not sleep on the job! She shook him. "NNY! WAKE UP!"
He shot up and asked in a loud tone, yelling back at her. "WADDA YEA WANT?" NNY's long shirts and boots kicked up as his anger field his body of her waking him up! Slowly other Irken's began to wake up, rubbing their eyes. Tak saluted nervously, to make sure he knows it's important. He nodded and swished his hand to make her continue.
"NNY! We should be getting up, probably even more early to go study." NNY knew he had to. He really didn't want to go, but the sound of death in the morning was good to him. He yawned, cracking his knuckles. Then took a deep breath. Sucking in all the air, trying to grasp the amount of air he needed.
The releasing it all, he yelled so loud, it made every single person in the room jump. "WAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE UUUUUUUUPPPPPP!" NNY crossed his skinny arms looking at his men. Tak looked pleased with herself. "With out me, this stupid team would be dead by now." She thought selfishly to herself.
"Come on you sack of bladder waste! You can longer sleep in late! GET YOUR SKINNY ASSES UP!!!!" Everyone begin to slowly rise, as they slipped their jackets on and grabbing their guns. Tak grabbed hers and then finding a small sword on the ground. It was pretty big and it was a good model. She grabbed it and stroked its blade softly, looking in her own reflection.
"NNY?" He looked over and saw what she was holding. "What's this?" NNY snatched it out of her hand. It seems that she didn't know the sword with the frowning smile at the end was his. She looked at him strange. As if there was something that he wasn't telling the others. NNY looked back at her.
"It's my sword if you must know. Now, Get ready, because were heading out soon." He began to walk away to the other end. She crossed her arms stubbornly. No thanks, nothing for doing a good deed? Calling in for back up? She thought this was complete bullshit. Tak snorted at his appearance and put her jacket on.
They were outside after a few more minutes had gone by. There wasn't much talk as they all tried to walk in a strait line. They didn't hear from the back up, but that was being ignored at the moment. Not one screw head in site, Tak was getting worried.
Scootch was whimpering and shaking as he walked in silent, rubbing his gloves together silently. He looked around confused and lost. he wanted to go back so bad. But he didn't have a ship or anything. This planet was so big and scary for him. His boots crunched against the dry sand. What was he ever going to do?
*** ZIM sat right next to Gaz. She didn't see him until he sighed, her head- phones slowly were pulled off and she looked at him. He didn't stare back at her. He just sat there and then said. "I went to look for you at your house. No one was home." Gaz put her head down slowly, knowing that she had made ZIM feel rejected and lost.
"I was just, um" She broke off, as ZIM shook his head. He laid his arms on his knees, staring harder at the sky. He was getting annoyed of all these confusing excuses. It was getting harder and harder to deal with. The human race seems to get even more stupider, and stupider by the minute.
"Sure, I could forgive that small kiss or maybe just wanting pleasure out of that. Gaz, that is a lot to forget and forgive. But really what that upset is that you ditched me with out saying anything. I came to earth to destroy it. And I just received a call from the tallest." Gaz cocked her head up.
"A word from the tallest? What did they say." Gaz blinked in confusion, as ZIM looked the other way. He said in small husky voice, with a shot of fear and sorrow. What had ever happened to the old ZIM? He knew he was loosing his touch. He had gone soft and weak in the stupid ignorant place.
He rubbed the back of his neck and begin, slowly. "Well. I was finally told why I was here. The tallest never really liked me." He stopped and his eyes went big. "In fact my whole race hated me. My mission was a joke, they didn't even knew this planet was even alive and burning."
ZIM clenched his fist tightly. His grinded his fangs down, and urged himself to go on. "It's funny. You come to earth, you find out some people are actually pleasant. But when you have been dreaming and dreaming for this doomsday, it gets ripped out like a pile of nothing!" He begin to yell. Gaz shivered at his voice next to her. "THEN WHEN YOU FIND SOMEONE! IT GETS THROWN AWAY TO! THEN YOU BECOME WEAK AND SOFT! FOR BEING SO STUPID!" ZIM banged his fist on the ground growling.
Gaz took hold of shoulder. "I-I'm sorry." ZIM stopped banging. She was finally sorry for something and not just anything, for him. She was worrying about this little alien, that not one person even cared about. He was praised. By an earth girl that had some feelings in her life.
"Sorry? Your sorry?" ZIM looked at her strangely. Gaz nodded her head slowly. He blinked his gloved hands begin to loosen from the dirt. How strange this was, he was feeling something that he had really haven't had much to think about. He knew he loved her, but having the feeling come back to him. It felt refreshing, and wonderful.
She bit her lip. "I'm sorry for making you think in a lie. I'm sorry for ditching. I'm sorry for being so stupid." Gaz stop to keep the sobs from bursting out of lungs, and she swallowed dryly. "I'm sorry for loving him. I'm sorry for my brother. I'm sorry more mother." She got up. "But I am not sorry for my FUCKING FARTHER!"
ZIM stood up next to her, and he said in a low voice, that made a cold shiver go down her spine. "I forgive you." He grasped her shoulders and hugged her. Gaz just stood there. Her eyes flickered, not knowing what he was really saying.
Her head perked up. "What?"
ZIM said more clearly, but in the friendly tone. "I forgive you."
