REALIZATION
Zim stared at himself. The Dib-human had turned him into a cat! Dib laughed and dragged the stunned Irken home. He let the Irken thump on each step and yanked the alien into his room, the green cat's claws scraping on the floor. Dib tied the leash to a desk leg and stepped back. Zim hissed and lunged for Dib's throat. "Row!" The Irken was held back by the leash and he fell to the floor. Dib giggled and crossed his arms. "Mighty Irken, huh?" Zim growled and lay down. It was useless to fight unless he got out of the leash. "Can't get out of your leash? Too bad. I'm not letting you."
Game noises drew closer and Dib looked up. Gaz paused her game and stared at them. "Since when did we get a cat?" Dib glanced at Zim. "I, uh, just found him roaming the streets and, um, decided to bring him home." Gaz stared at him. "Whatever." The video game noises grew smaller and Dib turned to Zim. "How does it feel to be a pitiful, defenseless animal, Zim?" The Irken longed to strangle him. His new body contained both cat and Irken organs, mixed so that all worked functionally. His head still pounded from watching his body changed.
Dib yawned and flopped down on his bed. "We'll begin the fun tomorrow. But for now, I'm going to bed." He turned over and Zim stood up. He quietly chewed on the metal, slowly and painfully breaking it. After several hours, the chain broke and it fell to the floor with a clang. Zim quickly turned to see if Dib had noticed. The human was still asleep. Quietly, Zim snuck out into the hall and descended the stairs. He explored the rooms, searching for a way out. A window to his left was slightly opened. Zim grinned. It was all he needed.
He jumped up on the window sill and slipped under the glass. He leaped to the ground and jumped as a large shape leaped in front of him. The German shepherd growled threateningly. Zim gulped and backed up. Dib had obviously gotten a dog incase of escape. "MROAW!" The cat turned and fled down the street, dog close behind. The German shepherd barked as it chased the green cat around the town, finally chasing Zim back to Dib's house. It chased him into a tree and the window next to Zim opened. Dib stuck his head out the window and rubbed his eyes." Whasamatter?" The dog growled deeply and Dib noticed the green cat in front of him.
"What the-Zim!" He grabbed the Irken around the neck and pulled him inside. "Nice job, Zeke!" He pulled out a carrier from under his bed and shoved the hissing cat inside. He latched the cage and kicked it. Zim was banged against the bars and Dib sighed in satisfaction. He yawned and clambered into bed again. Zim growled and let his claws out. He tampered with the latch and the door swung open. The green cat slunk out and peered out the window. Zeke barked wildly and scratched at the side of the house. A shadow loomed up behind the alien, hands raised. Zim's ears twitched and he whipped around. His body skidded across the floor.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you?" Zim opened his eyes and meowed as a black collar was snapped around his neck. Dib dragged the Irken by the tail outside and whistled. A German shepherd bounded across the yard towards them. It stopped obediently in front of him and stood still as a statue. Dib held Zim in front of the dog. It sniffed him and Dib let go. Zim fell on all fours and froze. Was Dib going to sic the dog on him, or would he just let him go? "Zeke, I want you to follow the cat through town, making sure he doesn't try to leave. In the morning, bring him back to me. Now, go!" He kicked Zim and the cat rolled across the wet grass.
The dog growled and barked. Zim took off. The German shepherd followed, pacing himself. He had a long night to go through. Zim leapt over a garbage can and zipped behind it. A second later, large paws padded up the alley. Zim's crimson eyes widened as the German shepherd lowered its head and sniffed. He forgot that dogs sniffed for their prey. The Irken shot down the street, leaving the dog behind. For now.
