The Return of the Hideous New Girl
Chapter Three: Walk in the Park
The night sky slowly but surely disappeared as the early morning sun began to rise above the human city. With this early light, dozens of cars, trucks, and people started to gather to the city park. None were visiting, they were the setup crew.
As the foretelling carnival finally began to take place, high up in one of the park's trees the two invaders were settled on the same branch Rogue hid on the other day. The female Irken was seating all comfortable, dozed off with Gir nested on top of her head. Zim, the other hand, has been up all night watching the park like an overly eager hawk.
However, little did the three realized, there was one only "watcher" in their mist...
Over across the street on the over side of the park, the strange girl from late night, (Which I think everyone KNOWS know she is by now, right?^^) was doing the same thing as the other two in the tree, only not in a tree, but in plain sight. As she stood there, with other humans passing her and giving a few odd stares, she just continued to watch both the commotion in the park and the hiding place of the two other Irkens.
'...Siding with this planet's race, are we, Zim?' Tak thought to herself. "...I shouldn't be surprised. After all...what you and that other traitor went and tried was surprising enough for me.'
*TAK FLASHBACK*
On a planet near Irk, in a training building for in training invaders and fighters, Tak was eagerly punching and kicking away at a punching bag. Each hit was fueled by the hate and rage she still felt from what Zim has done to her, past and recently.
"THAT...NO GOOD...FOOL!!" Her last punch went right through the bag, and sand came pouring out. Other Irkens, mostly males, stared at her with a fearful look on their faces. Tak looked down at the poured sand then turned and walked away, heading for the lockers. As she walked, she continued to rant within her mind.
'I came back to the Tallest with NOTHING but disappointment! My plan was ruined, my ship was lost, and it took hours of repair for Mimi! And right afterwards, I was sentenced for MORE training, saying I was STILL not ready to be an invader! I AM ready! I've BEEN ready! It's all his-'
Suddenly, Tak was stopped by some chatting between two other Irkins just coming out of the male's locker room.
"Did you hear about Zim?"
"No, what? Is he finally dead, or something?"
"No, he and some powerful Irken fighter went and tried an attack on the Tallest!"
Tak's eyes shot open wide.
"WHAT? That's nuts! Where are they now?!"
"They say no one really knows, but they do say the whole explosion of the MASSIVE was really their fault! The fighter didn't make it outta that, but a few think that Zim escaped and is now hiding on some other planet."
"Who would be crazy enough to side with that...crazy anyways?!"
"Who knows...but he, or she, is dead now..."
"Thanks to Zim I bet, right?"
The two went on talking as they passed by Tak, just standing there, letting it all sink in. I moment after that, she let a creepy grin appear on her face. Her thoughts suddenly turned from rage to high hopes of sweet revenge.
'If I can find Zim and bring him back to the Tallest...they'll surely let me be an invader then! Capturing a crazed traitor would put my name on the invader list in a second!' She walked into the female's locker room. '...And I have a good feeling of where that ZIM could be...'
*END OF FLASHBACK*
The same grin that appeared on her face that day came back on her lips. 'Soon, Zim...I'll not only get my revenge, but my dream as well!'
Out of the shadows in between two buildings, Tak's cat-like SIR Mimi came walking out, its body looking like it formed from the dark itself rather then just coming out into the light. It stopped beside its master and made a cat-like hiss.
"Stand down, Mimi...we have to wait for the perfect moment...to STRIKE!"
~Back in the park, Zim continued to watch the humans as they began to set up the different booths and tents for the festivities. His eyes barely blinked, his overactive eagerness was the fault of that. Behind him, Rogue moved a little, and with a small yawn opened one eye to see Zim in the same position he was in when they got there last night.
"...You're STILL staring down there?!" She said, her outburst breaking Zim's concentration and caused Gir to tumble off her head and fall onto the grass below.
"...Oh...you're awake..." Zim said, his eyes looking drier then a desert. He blinked a few times, and they were back to their glossy state again.
Rogue sharpens her eyes as Gir came climbing back up the tree and plopped himself back on Rogue's head.
"GIR! I thought I told you to watch the other side!" Zim said in his normal "Zimmy" tone. Rogue gave a tired sigh to this. And Gir just smiled and stared blankly back at his Master.
"Zim? I'm starting to think this....human thing is really nothing to worry about..." Rogue said, now looking down at all the moving humans with their setup equipment. "For all we know, it could be JUST a FUN thing....for humans."
Zim looked at her with exhausted eyes. He sat right down, too tired to notice Gir hopping from Rogue's head to his head. He let out a long yawn and stretched his arms. "...Maybe I SHOULD have just set up a spy bot or something..."
Rogue's perked up to that. "WHAT?!" Zim nearly fell off his branch. Gir fell out of the tree again. "You've could have just done that?! Aww, ZIM! GEEZ!" The aggravated but too exhausted Irken stood up and hopped out of the tree, landing next to Gir, with his head buried in the ground from the second fall. She looked up at Zim still sitting in the tree, eyes narrowed. "...Ya know, if I didn't like you so much, I'd BURN you right now! I'm heading back home." She walked away, leaving Zim in the tree.
Gir, for a second time, came back up the tree to a rather disappointed Master. The SIR sat next to him, and after a few short moments, said, "...You two in a fiiight??"
"OF COURSE NOT!!" Zim snapped back, but blushed a bit.
~Just exiting the park, Rogue walked slowly on and down the sidewalk, her movements and eyes showing all signs of fatigue. She didn't hate Zim now, she was just REALLY tired. She'll forget about it after a day long nap. She mentally shook her head, telling herself that that's just Zim, and that's nothing to hate him over. She grinned and just laughed it off, feeling better already.
This good feeling didn't last long though. As the under covered alien walked on, somebody on the other side of the road caused her to stop in her tracks.
That somebody, Tak, began to walk across the street, heading for the park. Her "cat", Mimi, follow very close behind.
A sudden chill went down Rogue's back. There was something odd about the human she watched crossing the roads. Her facial features were VERY human like, but the overall look of her didn't strike Rogue as human. Something wasn't right about her. Then Rogue thought about Zim still in that tree.
"...I better tell Zim...just to be safe..." With that, Rogue started running, not walking, towards the park again, but went another way around so that Tak didn't see her.
~Back in the tree...
"...But yer BLUSH'IN!! Aww, it's so cute!" Gir cooed.
"GIR!! ENOUGH!!" Zim yelled, not caring anymore if somebody seen or heard him. "IF you want me to flash the RED on my face, DO it back at the BASE! We're heading home!" He started to climb down the trunk. He and Gir got on the grass and headed for the exit, which happens to be where Tak was hiding, right in a nearby bush. She grinned and was ready to jump out, and grab Zim like a prey.
"ZIM! Hey, Zim!" A voice came out from behind the invader and his green mutt. Zim paused and turned around to see Rogue running up to them. In the bushes, Tak's eyes widen to see it was the female human Zim's be hanging with. She instance withdrawal from attacking to hear what Rogue had to say.
"Rogue?" Zim said with a little puzzled look, thinking Rogue had gone back to the house.
"Zim?" Rogue stopped in front of him and looked around the park for a second. "...Did you see a strange looking female human walking around just now?"
Tak inched a little closer in her hiding place when hearing this. 'Did I blow my cover?' She thought.
Zim looked that Rogue then thought a moment. "...Noooo, and what are you doing back here?"
"I saw a human girl walk into the park, and she didn't....look right."
Zim's eyes went up. "What do you mean?"
"Weeell...call it just a hunch, but-"
Gir suddenly interrupted, "Does Rogue feel sorry fer yelling at Zim?"
That caused a rapid stillness in the air. Rogue and Zim looked at one another, waiting for the other to say something. And back in the bush, Tak was beginning to get lost in what the heck was going on with the two.
".Hmm." Rogue tried to start first, but to her surprise, it was Zim who began.
".You were right.I should have used a spy bot." He said it with a touch of embarrassment, but he said it with his best interest too. Rogue looked back at him and couldn't help but smile.
"I'm sorry too, Zim. I shouldn't have yelled like that." Being there wasn't a lot of people around, and it wouldn't look unusual, Rogue then gradually made her way closer to Zim and gave him a sweet small kiss on the cheek.
Tak saw it all and she was nearly thrown back in the bushes. 'WHAT?! Did she just-?!'
In the heat of her confusion, Zim, Rogue, and Gir left the park before Tak could do anything about it. Once they were gone, she popped up from her shrub hiding place.
".I don't believe it! I know Zim isn't the smartest Irken, but he's taken a liking to a female HUMAN!?" She posed a disgused face to that thought. "This make him more then a traitor, it makes him SICK! Tonight will be the night I give him just what he deserves."
TBC...
*RogueStar*: I know I said this one was gonna be with the carnival, but it's been so long, I kind of forgot how it was going to go, so this is what happened. The next one WILL be that, plus it'll be the last chapter too. Yeah fer me, ah? ^^'' I've been so freakin' lazy on my writing, it's sick. -_-''
