Woo! I finally worked my way up to an 'R' rating! Don't get too excited,
it's mostly because of language... for now =]
Sorry it took me a while to get this chapter up. And I'm sorry if it sucks. It's just that my medication has been really screwing with my system lately and it skurres me. My whole body shakes real bad and my face turns bright red and I feel like I'm gonna pass out. It just skurres me cuz I dunno what to do and it reminds me of when I took too many Excedrins (I'm not suicidal, and I never was). But I'm going for a blood test tomorrow to see how much Lithium (among other shit, phft) is in my system, so maybe it'll be too much and I'll get a new doctor. My mommy and I hate my doctor. We have our reasons... *Looks around suspiciously* But anyways. It's not like you all needed to hear that, and I'm not saying it to gain attention, really, that's the last thing I want. It's just that it's 12:59 AM and I have no one to talk to and I'm too skurred to sleep. This is my temporary outlet, and I'm sorry that you all had to read that. This chapter's a little slow, not much going on, but I'll make it up to you, I promise. Oh, and sorry about the cliché name, it just fit so well.
The votes for this chapter's plot were tied (gasp!) between Mr. Elliot and the janitor, so I picked the one I felt would flow better. Hope I didn't disappoint anyone =]
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, but these are just a couple I felt I needed to respond to...
MiracleChick: Thank you so much for all the compliments! "A gem of a story." Damn! You really gotta feel for something before you can compare it to a precious stone! *L* You made me feel really special and I hope I return the favor by writing this li'l part just for you! =] Thanks again and I'm glad you're enjoyin' muh story!
skidlebop: Kudos to you! I think you'll be happy with this, seeing as how you're idea was used... come outta that closet! You are still loved!
*Hands all the other reviewers alarm clocks* Talk to them! They tell funny jokes!
"Oh my, I thought I told you boys to be good!"
Dib jumped up, flushed with sheer embarrassment. He threw his arms behind him and kneaded his knuckles into the back of his trench coat-like jacket. He stared down at his feet, only to find Zim's legs between them. This action was supposed to hide the hue of Dib's cheeks, but it only made them turn brighter. Zim opened his eyes and hoisted himself up on his elbows, peering through Dib's legs at an exasperated Mr. Elliot.
Florescent green puddles of radioactive waste and gerbil tracks soaked into his slacks and tailored shirt. Despite the mess, and possible danger, Mr. Elliot still wore that chipper smile of his.
Dib held his breath, praying that the teacher didn't suspect the obvious. Zim scooted back and sat up all the way, making sure his face was a good distance away from Dib's behind. The area where his nose would be was turning a bright and unusual shade of pink.
Mr. Elliot shook his head and chuckled. "You boys can never get enough of each other, huh!"
That did it for poor Dib. Any redder and you woulda thought he just got done running a 10 mile marathon in under 4 minutes... or you woulda thought he got a li'l feisty with a tomato plant; whichever sounds better to you...
Even though it was more like a green bean =P
Mr. Elliot made a 'tsk tsk' noise and held up his finger. "You two must stop fighting and learn to settle your differences in other ways!"
Dib looked up and blinked. A wave of relief rolled over his reddened face.
Zim shuffled uneasily in the back and adjusted his wig, gaining the unwanted attention of the optimistic teacher. "What's the matter, Zim? He didn't hurt you too bad, I hope!"
Dib fought the urge to look back and see what the alien was doing while Zim shook his head violently.
"Good, I'm glad! Because I've got a little surprise for you boys... they're letting me take you with us!"
Dib's voice cracked as he spoke. "Who's letting us? Where?"
Mr. Elliot waved toward the general direction of the cafeteria. "The lunch ladies! The radioactive gerbils got out of the kitchen somehow and are rampaging through the city! It's all so exciting to chase them! And fun... until you get covered with the stuff... they say that can't be good... oh, but the adrenaline rush! So whaddya say? Wanna join?"
Mr. Elliot's face looked so enthusiastic that it easily passed as frightening. Zim and Dib both shook their disturbing image-filled heads.
"Aww, well, the skool staff is going to be too busy chasing the gerbils to make sure you two stay here, so you might as well leave! And now, if you'll excuse me..." Mr. Elliot bounced out of the classroom in a random display of vigor, not bothering to shut the door. Zim and Dib stared after the teacher as he bounded down the hall, hearing him shout: "Hey, wait up!"
A few moments of painful silence followed. Zim got up slowly and patiently waited for Dib to move out of his way. Hearing his enemy rise behind him, Dib got the faint point and made his way through the doorway. He wasn't in a hurry to leave though; not only was he enjoying Zim's company (despite how awkward it was), Zim's house wasn't far from his own. And unless one of them decided to go the long way home, it looked like they were both in for a stroll through the neighborhood together.
Dib walked through the skool's double-doors, holding one of them open for his foe. Zim stared at Dib, obviously skeptical of this act of kindness. Dib sighed and glared at Zim. "Cheese, did you WANT me to close it on you or something?"
Stifling a laugh, Zim sauntered through the open door. Before Dib let go of the handle, he glanced around.
"What ARE you looking for, stink-beast?" Zim placed his hand on the door and pushed it closed for him. Dib would've smirked, but was too busy looking around.
"My sister usually waits for me after skool. I'm just wondering if she's still here." Dib walked down the steps, still eyeing his surroundings.
Taking a quick look around himself, Zim decided to toy with the earth- monkey. "Well, of course she's not still here, it's been about 30 minutes since skool ended! Who would wait that long for YOU?"
Dib looked up and gave Zim an offended glower. "Look, I'm just saying she might've gotten caught up in her stupid video games long enough to stick around."
Zim leaped from the skool steps and stood at Dib's side. "Well, apparently she didn't. Not long enough for you, anyways."
He started walking, not noticing Dib's absence for a few feet. When he did realize that Dib wasn't following, he looked back. Not only was Dib not following... he wasn't even there.
Zim made a complete circle, looking around for any sign of Dib's wacky hair or trench coat-like jacket, but found none. Not thinking too much of it, he continued his walk home, taking the time to think about what went on today.
Why did he find the Dib-human attractive all of a sudden? That's just what he was; a HUMAN. And a MALE human, at that. Zim wasn't sure about the people of earth, but falling for someone of the same sex on Irk was looked at as sick and wrong.
*Back on The Massive*
A lone Irken guard carried a tray piled with sandwiches down a poorly lit corridor. Puzzled by the lack of light, she stopped in front of The Tallests' room and was about to press the buzzer near the door when she heard two separate voices coming from inside. Her eyes widening, she raised her antennae and let her finger hover above the button.
"NOOOO! Please, Red, no more! I ca -" "SAY IT BITCH!" "Please! Please stop, I'm beggi - *CRACK* OUCH! Don't do that!" "THERE'S A LOT MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM, FUCKER!" "Oh Red, no, don't - *CRACK* OW! FUCK! You need to calm do -" "I TOLD YOU I WON'T STOP UNTIL YOU SAY IT!" "*CRACK* AHH! Okay, if I say - *CRACK* *Fhhh* it, then will yo - *CRACK* DAMNIT, LEMME FINISH!" "... OH HAWLZ NAW, NOW I KNOW YOU DID NOT JUST ORDER ME AROUND, PURPLE." "I'm sor - *CRACK* *Fhhhhhh* I'm sorry! Please stop Red, it hurts too mu - *CRACK* SHIT!" "SAY IT!" "..." "GO ON!" "*CRACK* OWIEEEE okay okay! ... You'z muh daddy." "What was that, Purple?" "YOU'Z MUH DADDY!" "..." "*Sigh*" "DAMN STRAIGHT BITCH!" "*CRACK* YEEEEEEEOW!"
The guard dropped the tray. Without another thought, she flailed down the hall, screaming at the top of her... organs.
*Back on Earth*
Zim decided that there was no way another Irken could possibly have feelings for someone of the same sex. The mere thought of him liking a male worm-baby was disgusting.
... But he couldn't blame himself. Dib was so different from the other mindless beings on this planet. Even at a young age, he was much smarter than the adults around him. And he ran so deep... Zim thought that even if he took his whole life to try to get to know him, he wouldn't discover the secrets that lay in the depths of his Dibby soul (Aww...).
That was another thing that bugged Zim. His feelings toward his somewhat enemy were all emotional. That was really peculiar, considering the li'l Irken pimp that he was. (*Tries not to laugh*)
Zim didn't have much longer to think, though. A messy lime green puppy suddenly came running toward him, hugging what looked like.
"FILTH POPS?! GIR, NOT AGAIN!"
*LOL* IRKEN PIMP! Oh I hope you all found that as funny as I did. ... But then again, I don't have a normal sense of humor, so maybe I shouldn't hope for something like that. Either way, I hope you are enjoying the story so far. Tell me why Dib disappeared and where he went!
Because he felt worthless, and he took the long way home...
Because he was pissed, and he went for a walk in the park...
Because he was embarrassed, and he ducked behind the skool steps...
Last time, I had a couple reviewers who had a lotta nice things to say (God bless their precious livers), but didn't bother to vote! It DOES count people! Talk to skidlebop! She'll (He'll? I dunno =[ ) tell ya!
Anyways, me and Jumbo and Bankie love you all, and thanks for reading! As soon as I get enough votes, I'll write more! It can only get better =P
... I think I over-used the word 'anyways' in this chapter.
