Chapter 4: The Bug in Gir
Disclaimer: Again I do not own these trademarks, but Kic Summers was my idea!!!
She was caught and idiotic Dib had no idea what to do. "Leave her alone! Why do you want her?" Dib growled, knowing that Zim somehow had an evil plot behind this. "Because, that's your weakness! You like her!" Zim laughed hysterically. "N-no, I don't!" Dib insisted, but Zim only smiled. "Come Gir, let's get out of here!" Zim crowed, and another one of the Irken's inventions dropped from the sky to wheel them to freedom. "No! You can't take her!" Dib cried out, and clung to Zim's leg as he was lifted into the air. "Aaah, get off me you scum!" Zim screamed, shaking his leg violently, but Dib wasn't willing to let go. "Help!" Kic cried, dangling in Zim's right arm as his left hand clung to the steering wheel of the craft. "Oh, a hot dog stand!" Gir cried happily, and lowered the vehicle to the ground to get a hot dog. "Gir, no! Oh, wait yes! Yes!" Zim triumphed, knowing when they hit the ground it would hurt Dib. "Not so-fast Zim." Dib growled, and attempted to climb up with one free hand. "Dib? Dib is that you?" Kic cried desperately. "Dib! Listen I believe you, I believe!" She cried, knowing for sure Zim WAS in fact an alien. She was scared though, to the point she couldn't escape by herself.
Gir lowered the vehicle to the stand slamming Dib into the concrete. He let go and Zim smiled. "Weakling! You will never triumph over me, Ziiiiiiiiiiim!" He smiled crazily, and Gir got a hot dog. "Yeehee! Yummy!" Gir laughed along with Zim, but for a different reason. "Zim took control of the vehicle and flew away, Gir now holding Kic in the net. "Kic!!" Dib cried, but he was too late… Zim had her.
When Zim got home he was very happy, so happy that he knew he had Dib's weakness. "Ha! Now that I have you Kic, Dib has nothing against me, not even if he comes up with a new kind of weapon, thingy, that blows up my house and- Well, never mind I won! Whahahaha!" Zim cried, in sweet victory. "Yey for Zim! Aaah, my hot dog!" Gir crowed, as the hot dog hit the floor. Gir looked down on it for a minute and then shrugged and picked it back up. "Gir, noooo!" Zim called, but he stuck it back in his mouth and swallowed it. "Do you realize what you just did?" Zim insisted, and Gir looked down at the ground. "No?" Gir shrugged, and Zim rolled his eyes. "You're a psychopath Zim! Dib'll come back for me, either him or my friends will come looking for me." Kic called, hanging by the net. "Ha, Dib will come… I know his weakness now though. All because of YOU!" He laughed, and then glared at Gir. "Now, let's see what you've done to yourself." Zim sighed, seeing Gir act just as stupid as before. "
What do you mean because of me? Oh, if I did anything to cause him pain…" She sniffed, and Zim was silent for a moment, as if listening to her. "I didn't mean too, I mean I'm not mean. I just, I just- I don't know like him I guess." She admitted, and Zim smiled… "Like Dib eh?" He whispered, and disappeared with Gir into his underground lab.
"Now, Gir say ah." Zim ordered, having out a "Robot Repair Kit". "Eh?" Gir asked, and Zim rolled his eyes again. "No, Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! With an A!" He growled. "Huh?" Gir asked, and looked confused. "Grrrrr, just open your mouth, you're the only robot I've seen with a tongue." Zim noted, and looked inside of Gir.
Dib lay there on the concrete, well until a dump truck came down the street and almost crushed him into little pieces. "How could I let Zim get away! I'm such an idiot! Now Kic will hate me for sure." Dib groaned. "You are an idiot… And Kic already hated you to start with, she told me." Gaz smiled, wanting to make him feel even more miserable then what he already felt in his heart. "Ah! How do you do that? And how do YOU know if Kic hates me? What if she lied that she hates me?" Dib questioned, but he doubted Kic would lie. "Fine, believe what you want, but she hates you." Gaz sighed, and walked away. "How does she sneak up on me like that?" Dib asked, and went back to his house to think… Think of a plan to get Kic back, and to tell her that he liked her.
"Just as I thought… You have a S bug." Zim cried, still down in the lab. "A what?" Gir asked, sneezing. "Aaah! A stupid bug!" Zim cried, jumping back to avoid being infected with it. "Now, here where this thingy I stole from a house… Humans call it a…. Fish bowl!" Zim assured Gir, and stuck it on his head. "Sigh, now all is well… I can't get the cold." Zim sighed, and Gir sneezed so hard he slammed into some of Zim's gadgets. "Stop it Gir! Here, come upstairs, the stuff up there I don't care about." He said, and they went back upstairs to see someone other then Kic. "Dib! How did you get into my house?" Zim crowed. "Left your window open again." Dib smiled, and brought out a pocket knife to cut down the net and set Kic free. "No! No you don't human!" Zim crowed, and grabbed Gir. "I have my own weapon… Cut that net down and I'll take off this fish bowl thingy!" He laughed, and glared at Dib, then at Kic. "Oh, and what will the android do? Sneeze on us?" Dib coughed, and Zim smiled. "Actually yes, and he has a very infective cold. So you better put the knife down Dib." Zim called, and Dib rolled his eyes. "Sure, why should I believe you? What if you're joking me? You know, trying to catch me off guard like all alien idiots like you would do." Dib insisted. "Grrrr, this isn't funny." Zim glared, and Gir sneezed out of his grip, hit the kitchen table and slammed into the window; breaking the fish bowl and the window. "N-no! Don't sneeze Gir whatever you do!" Zim called, but Gir itched to sneeze and held his mouth. "Dib! Get us out of here quick or we'll all be infected!" Kic called, from up in the net.
Dib looked at Gir and then at Kic. He began to cut her down quickly… Not fast enough, Gir sneezed all over them, even Zim. "Oh, great…" Zim coughed, and Dib and Kic made their escape. Beginning to feel the coming of Gir's awful cold. "I'm s-sorry Kic, don't hate me for all this." Dib begged, coughing back to his house. "Why would I be mad at you Dib? I thought you'd hate me for this." Kic insisted, looking over at Dib. He smiled back at her. "Then I guess neither of us are angry then…" Dib sighed happily and she smiled at him. "B-but tomorrow's a school day…" Kic sneezed, and left for her house, Dib followed. "Thanks for saving me Dib… I really appreciate it. I never thought you would truthfully." Kic sighed, and Dib looked disappointed.
"Hey, maybe sometime when I come over to Gaz's house I'll visit you too…" She smiled, and waved goodbye to him. She sneezed heavily and left. Looks like all of them would be missing some school.
Monday morning at Skool Mrs. Bitters counts the children off. "Kic Summers?" She called, and there was silence. She clenched her teeth together and went on the next person. "Dib Membrane?" She cried hysterically and again there was only silence. "Okaaaaay, Zim?" Mrs. Bitters crowed, and there was again the odd silence in the classroom.
Zim's house: "Good job Gir, you got me sick… Well, at least you're making me soup…" Zim sighed, eating a bite. "Wait, what was this made from Gir?" He asked, noticing the taste. "Oh, that's that hot dog." Gir smiled.
