The Return of the Hideous New Girl
Chapter Two: Speed Bumps
Saturday morning. Zim stood in front of his huge computer, typing like a madman, looking for anything that has to do with the term, "CARNIVAL". The computer has been searching for info since day break, but nothing useful has popped up yet.
Meanwhile, Rogue planned a little searching of her own. She left the base to scout out the area where the "car-ni-val" was to be held. At that time of day, the city park only had a few humans crawling around, a couple of joggers and a old lady sitting on a bench.
Rogue watched from the top of a park tree branch, concealed behind the leaves. She didn't want to be seen, even though she had her Earth disguise activated.
"This place is fairly big..." The female alien whispered to herself. "Why WOULD a bunch of humans group together all at once?" She leaned back on the tree's trunk in thought. "...Hmm......it could be anything, really....like what Zim said, a infomation exchange, or maybe a type of human-" Just then, a beeping sound went off on her wrist where her right gem is. Her hand formed the gem from underneath her fake human skin, and a small hologram screen came up with Zim's face looking back.
"Rogue, where are you?" The Irkin asked through Rogue two-way voice radio.
"At the city park." She answered. "It's not as active as I thought right at the moment..."
"Of course not! Those human probabliy won't start setting the "CAR-NI-VAL" till after nightfall or something." Zim said. He sounded like he had some news.
"Did you find anything?" Rogue asked into the mic.
Zim went off screen for a second then came back with a print out of something. "The only thing the computer COULD find was this..." He started to read what the computer's description of carnival was. "..."CAR-NI-VAL: An event where humans organize for festive reasons"."
"FESTIVE??" Rogue said with a werid look. "What KIND of festive?"
"The computer couldn't input that, but whatever it is, I don't LIKE it anyway!" Zim said. "Human festive acts are not something to take lightly, Rogue." Zim recalled that one time during his first Halloween, or that X- mas thing. X-mas wasn't so bad, but HALLOWEEN, the thought of that night still makes him shiver. "We MUST go to this "CAR-NI-VAL" now more then ever! But in the meantime, get back to the base so we can plan how to attend it."
"Got it." Rogue said, then turned the radio off. She gave one last look around the park then jumped from the tree onto the ground, landing perfectly on her cat-like feet. A nearby jogger stopped in his tracks at seeing that. The "kid" jumped from a eight foot high branch. The undercover Irkin just walked off, not noticing the bewildered human.
Walking back to the base, Rogue eyed over the buildings she passed by, looking as "human" as she could. She wore a good disguise, but she still didn't feel like she had the race's actions down. She still has to make sure her "warrior abilitys" don't blown her cover, like last week during a thing of kick ball at skool. She ended up kicking the ball hard enough to make a clear dent mark in the skool's brick wall, knocking out three of the kids that were in the ball's way. Luckly, the kids are too stupid to acknowledge anything.
"I feel if I don't do some sort of active training, I'll lose my edge." She said to herself. "I wonder if Zim would let me build something under the base for just that..."
Suddenly, just has she could see Zim's house, something quick caught the corner of her eye. She snapped her head to the right, just in time to see it again, a blured flash. It was jumping from dark ally to dark ally between the buildings. Rogue suddenly got a high strung knot in her gut.
'What the-! Humans can't go that fast!' She thought. Just then, she noticed what-ever-it-was heading towards Zim's house\base. Rogue wasn't going to let it reach it. She jolted off at her own speed and slammed into the blur without hesitation.That move caused she to fall backwards.When she got back up, the blur was gone, vanished without a trace. She looked around, rubbing her forehead which now had a bright red bump.
"What WAS that...?" She was at a lost for any words. She didn't know where it went, but she looked down and saw a quick and swift skid mark on the road. The blur instantly turned and ran off when it and Rogue hit. Other then that, there wasn't anything else to see but the surrounding buildings and Zim's base.
"I WOULD say my mind was playing tricks..." Rogue said as she headed towards the green house again. "...but my mind wouldn't leave a lump on my head!"
~Meanwhile, a few blocks away from where Rogue was right now...
"BLAST IT!!" An shadowly figure yelled out from a shielding trash can in a shaded area. Brought to light, this character "looked" like a human female child. She had dark blue hair which parted in the middle. She wore a striped shirt that hung below her back, stopping at her knees. And she wore boots with sliver buckles that went up to the knees. (Sound famliler yet??)
"I don't GET IT!" She snarled as she rubbed on the side of her head. It beared a large red lump, roughly the same size as the one Rogue just got. "Something RAMMED right into me before I could get to Zim! What else could be as fast as me?!" She thought for a moment. "Could Zim have known I was coming for him? Well, no matter, I just have to be more careful next time. He must have some new security device around his house..."
~ Down in Zim's lab, the invader continued to work on his computer, with his SIR sidekick just a few feet away from him, dancing to some music which only he could hear in his crazy little head. Just then, Rogue came walking in, still rubbing her head. Gir jumped up and ran over to greet her home. He then noticed her "boo-boo".
"Awwww, you have a ouchie, Rogue??" Gir cooded, pointing at her head. The female alien just sighed and went over to where Zim was standing.
"I'm back." Rogue said flatly to Zim. He turned and his eyes widened when he saw her forehead.
"What happened to you?" He asked looking over her lumpy head. (Hee, lumpy head...^-^)
"I ran into something." She answered, not really caring just how stupid that sounded. Zim gave a confused look. He just dismissed it, and began to explain what he had cooked up so far for tomorrow.
~ Evening came as Zim and Rogue were now in the upper house, taking a break before heading back to the lab to continue the "CAR-NI-VAL" plan. During that time, Rogue was thinking weather or not to tell Zim what really caused her to bump her head eariler, but she then thought that it wasn't worth it. The red mark was still there too.
"I wonder if we should go down to the park right now to see if thier setting this "thing" up yet..." Zim suddenly said out of the quiet. Rogue didn't say anything, just sat on the couch with legs crossed.
~ Outside, unknown to the two Irkins, the child-like character from before was now just outside Zim's lawn and his gnowns. Out of the darkness, a small black cat with blood red eyes quietly walked up next to her. It looked more like a living shadow then a cat.
"Mimi, fire the bugs!" The figure commanded. The black cat, like a bullet, ran into the lawn, and off it's body, little robotic insects flew forth and landed on the gnowns. The big-eyed lawn statues shot up sparks, then died down. The outside defenses were now disabled. The black cat sat in the middle of them all, flicking it's tail.
With a grin painted on her face, the "human" girl walked right acrossed the lawn with no trouble. But just before she could get to the door, the knob on it began to turn. She and her cat quickly jumped behind the nearest gnown as the door swung open. Out walked Zim and Gir, both with thier Earth disguises, Gir swinging his little arms side to side. From behind her hiding place, the girl showed her teeth in a growling-like manner at spotting Zim. She was just about the put the jump on him when Rogue walked out, also with disguise.
"Zim, I really don't think we have to go there now." Rogue said.
"Nonsence! The eariler we get there, the sooner we'll know what the CAR-"
"-NIVAL!! CARNIVAL! CARNIVAL!!" Gir screamed and ran straight ahead of him and Rogue. The two aliens ran after the SIR before he caused any unnecessary damage.
When the two were out of sight, the girl came from behind the gnown with a shocked and rather confused expression on. The black cat came out, and looked up at her without even a "meow".
"...WHAT'S with that?! Why does ZIM have a HUMAN living with him?!" Without wasting another moment, she started to follow them.
TBC.........
*RogueStar*: There's chapter two! This fic might run for one to two more chapters, I think. The next one is the "CARNIVAL" itself, and I have a few good ideas going for it. I'll get it up ASAP. R&R PLEASE! LATER! ^-~
