Zim couldn't believe what he just saw, one minute Ari was there, and then
in an instant she was gone! He ran to the icy edge, gripping what was left
of it so hard his knuckles turned pale green.
"Ari!!!!!" he screamed, his voice was choking as his eyes glassed over the contacts rapidly.
He didn't even pause to take a step back as he dove into the chasm after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~
"That day was hell." said Jaz as she massaged her temples recollecting the massive interviews and questions thrown at her and Red for his mysterious disappearance. Somehow he had smoothed the entire thing over, so Jaz's name was pretty unknown again. The way she liked it.
"Stupid emotions. . .stupid love." she kept ranting as Umi sat in a pile of Crackbat ashes that he was supposed to be cleaning up with Biz.
He whispered loudly to Biz; "Jaz doesn't like Loveeee because she theenks it makes her a weak-y-ling! Silly her. She is missing out, like, love of Striped shirts, cupcakes, feet licking, specially when mine are grape flavored, and fire hydrants! And-. . ."
With this Jaz shuddered uncontrollably and decided to leave the room, having heard enough of Umi for that day.
She flopped onto her bed, her vixen ears twitched, she just then realized she was still in her Tanzirian Form. The little black and gold Sir Unit popped his head up, barely reaching its eyes over the bed. A telepathic blob of information floated between the two, Shape shifter and robot.
"No, I don't miss Tanzir. . .No, no. . .Hey, he doesn't have a big head!" Jaz smiled as the Sirs questions grew more and more odd.
"Whatever Ember. The mission is now officially retarded. All I know is that I have to go to Earth, and like this hasn't been thought of before, make sure Zim doesn't complete his mission. Or I COULD just kill him."
Jaz looked at the sir for a moment, the robot's question in her mind. "What, Zim? A life?! I don't think its possible Ember, no, I haven't met him, but his profile and reports show he's just..got too much free time on his hands."
-?-
"Anyway Ember, we'll arrive at Earth in about 17 days, more or less, and the ships basically fixed. . .I hope." she picked up an odd spindly glass on her bedside table and took a nice long drink from it before laying back down on her bed and wondering about thoughts that unlike most of the people's around her, made sense. -------------------------------------------------------------
"Neeeeeeer!" a black gloved hand held a shoe as it smashed into buildings made from floor items and ashes as Umi smashed it into one of the monstrous city buildings.
"Then, SOOPER BOOT goes to get his'self some uh' dem foxy high heel girlies!" the boot then proceeded to go around the corner of the sofa. A slight Irish type accent was accompanying his conversations. . .
"Hey Biz. . .Guess what I heard Jaz is gonna do when she gets tay Urth!" He whispered to his crimson Sir who sat quietly by, cupcake batter smeared around the edges of the Easy-Bake-Oven in his head.
The robot did nothing but blink.
"EZZACTLY! She's going to. . ." he made a swiping motion across his neck and shuddered. "and I didn't even know him. . . Ahh vell, and now, back to Sooper Boot, Leatha' Pimp, ezztraordinaire!" (multiple types of accents were used in this dialogue)
-------------------------------------------------------------- Cold winds tore at Ari's face and body as the fall was slowly numbing her body, the icy temperature dropping with every second she fell. With as much energy as she could she raised her head from her chest and tried to look upwards at the land she was leaving for a last glance. The sun had risen and shone dutifully down on the icicles and snowy bits that its rays could reach.
"Isn't this just great." thoughts racing through her mind faster than her heartbeat "I wonder if he was lying. . ." The nagging part of her mind spoke up now. "You're a moron aren't you? Wait, don't answer that, I already know, literally. He said it! In a kind of corner scene and all wannabe romantic like, but he still said it!" Ari took control of her mind again. "You don't-I mean, I don't. . .wait. Whatever! Do you know how many guys just say that to get action? Or that he just wants me to finish up the plans?" Now her head was splitting with questions and answers that didn't make sense. The voice in her mind was screaming along with the winds that whipped her around. "Damnit! Your mom was right, you just bottled up all your emotions, and when you hit the ground they'll all spill out and before you die, your going to wish that you could have one last f**king chance."
The voice had silenced her.
"Do you still want to die?" it quietly asked her as time seemed to standstill.
"I used to. . . . . . ." was said out loud to herself.
She looked away and noticed that a black shape loomed below her, fur and blood covered its massive body. Shaking her head to get a better focus, she noticed that a smaller and lankier cat like creature was somewhat attached to it.
Subconsciously she murmured to herself, "Heh, its raining Cats and Bears and me's!"
At this point the cat creature hissed or screeched, it was really both, at something above it that had cast a slight shadow upon its meal.
The sound of fluttering clothing above Ari's limp body once again forced her to look up, only this time her eyes met a more likable picture.
Zim was about 10 feet up and away from her, although he had done a good deal of catching up. At first she was overjoyed, but then remembered where she was falling to. A stream of tears dripped from her eyes and floated upwards away from her at this.
"BASTARD! WHY DID YOU COME DOWN HERE!?" she shouted madly at him, waving her arms limply to accentuate her point.
He met her eyes and smiled.
"I'm saving your life."
Stunned and shocked, she glassily watched Zim while at the same time trying to think of a sarcastic response.
The figure of the alien took out a gun of sorts and aimed it to the sky. He murmured something about the tallest and gun recoil. Soon after that, a blast of pinkish light was shot straight upwards, propelling Zim's body a foot lower. Another blast and another blast and another and the two humanly creatures were next to each other.
Zim smiled at seeing Ari's frown. "What," he sighed comically "Your not happy to see me?"
"Zim! Why are you down here!?" she cried, half screaming in sadness, the other in fury, and also wondering just how deep this crevasse went before they both exploded on impact.
A steely look overcame Zim's contacts, the lilac periwinkle blue became colder. "I already told you, and if I know you then I won't have to say it again." a small smile came over his face as he pointed his gun upwards again and shot downwards quickly.
"Zim!? Where are you going? Stop taunting me!" she yelled to him as he became smaller and smaller, below she thought she could see the glimmers of bones and whatnot on the bottom of the floor glinting.
"I just realized I don't know if I wanna die or not." she thought to herself, straining against the winds to turn her body stomach down to try and find Zim in the sea of inky blackness.
Cold red flashes glinted below her which was followed by some cursing and a high pitched screech was heard, before Ari saw something she had never thought possible.
Zim looking rather proud yet torn up was riding towards her on the Sir unit, rockets blasting from all four of its feet. The Sir itself was quite unhappy looking, with Zim using its ears for reigns and all.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the falling body of Ari in front of him and blasted away, the three slowly making their way out of the canyon.
Sooner than she thought, the two were back at Zim's house. About a mile from the mountain they had landed and pretended to be a random couple taking their odd rabbit/cat monster for a walk. No one was the wiser.
When they had reached the house, the malformed Sir growled and snapped at Zim before retreating inside, probably to attack Gir. Ari paused at the doorway of his house with Zim, the door slightly open. She gently pulled his wig off and flicked his contacts away, his dark red eyes expressing an odd feeling of happiness and confusion. She looked away at the ground.
"Zim. . .What you did back there. . .I. . .I want to say thank you."
He smiled weakly and blushed a bit, this time he looked away.
"And as for what you said. . .if its true or not. . ." she looked him in the eyes and mouthed four words. With that she kissed his cheek gently and slowly walked inside.
Putting a hand to his cheek softly he smiled and followed her lead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poke.
Poke.
Double poke. What is the meaning of this?
Jaz tossed in her sleep and wearily opened her deep sapphire eyes, and to her surprise met Umi's bright silver ones an inch from her face.
"HOLY FLIRKING SHNIT! Don't DO that!!!" she fell out of her bed clutching her heart and panting.
"I had a nightmare. . ." he said simply.
"La dee frickin da. Go back to sleep Umi."
"You died. And I died, and we all died. And there was misery and sadness among all life. . ."
"Wha?" half asleep, Jaz was not good for help with nightmares. "Stop watching horror movies Umi, that's all I have to say."
Umi whimpered sadly.
"No. That would be look so wrong."
Whimper whimper whimper.
"No."
Whimperrrrrrr.
"Umi! Gah..fine, I'll let you sleep at the end of the bed. . ."
"Yay!"
Umi snuggled himself into the bottom of Jaz's bed and slowly drifted back into sleep.
------------------------------Well THAT was Pointless!---------------------- ----------------
"Ari. . .I know it's a bit late but. . .here."
He handed her a nicely wrapped blue and silver little box, bigger than a bread box. He smiled to one side.
"Happy Birthday."
Ari's face was completely awestruck, an almost confused expression accompanied it.
"A present. . .I can't remember the last time I got one of these. Thank you Zim."
"Gee, is it me or isn't it an Earth Custom to uhm, ya know, open it before thanking me?" he gave her a smart-aleck smile.
"Well fine then, guess you don't need me anymore mr. I know everything about Humanity. . ." her face broke into one of the few smiles she made that day as she pulled the soft ribbon, she stopped for a second.
"Zim, I'm trusting you, this isn't going to kill me or anything. . .right?"
"Uhm, no. I only did that once. Maybe twice. . ."
She grinned. "That's why I love you." she kissed his cheek again and then continued to unwrap her gift. Her eyes widened as she removed the smooth box top and gasped.
"Zim. . .Its. . . Its an ID Pak!" her voice stuttered with amazement and wonder.
"And its all yours. . .if you want it."
"You. . . You mean it!? You would make me-"
"Irken? Is that what you wanted?"
She weakly swallowed and nodded her head.
-------------------
Hahahahah! I AM LAZY! You can all thank Umi for harassing me so much to get this bloody chapter done, great, ya see? Its gonna be worse cuz ya made me rush, I HOPE YOUR HAPPY UMI! Ahem. . .doo dee do do dooo.. Oh yeah! Do any of you think Minimoose should be in this? I never really considered him. . .bet he feels all left out an' lonely.NEXT CHAPTER!

He didn't even pause to take a step back as he dove into the chasm after her.
