I walked off, and looked back to see that Dib's cheeks became red, and mine reacted the same way. I walked home with Zim, I didn't pay attention to all the yelling and rules of the mission, as I was daydreaming about Dib and me, holding hands and danced into glorious stars and comets in space.
"So, now do you understand what I'm saying?"
"What? ....Oh, yes, yes I do! I'll slice Dib into a trillion pieces! Yeah....heh...heh...".
"Good. Now get in the house, and don't bug me in the lab! I need peace and quiet!!"
He slammed the door at me, and goes down to his lair with a can of Irkcola in his clawed hands. I just went up to the attic again and talked with Scarlett.
"Scarlett, look up any and even all information about Dib. I want every word of him stuck to my brain,"
Before I got to finish, the computer shouted, "Somebody's got a crush!! Should I activate my virgin alarm?"
"It ain't no crush," I argued, though now that I think of it, it might as well been a crush. "this boy is the wonders of my life! His heroism, the same way he's against everyone like me, his black, slick scythe hairdo, that stylish trench coat and boots willing to kick serious ass......" I sighed at those words.
I was in love in Dib so madly that I even kept cameras around his house to watch his every move. I hung all the pictures of him on the walls of the attic, and carved 'XOXOXOX Dib' on the skulls of random people I see walking on the street. But as I got to know planet Earth and Dib even more throughout the months, my passion to held a knife against his smooth neck had lesson and lesson, and I hated his species even more and more! They were so darn stupid! It even made my real Irken self look like an angel compared to such wild ape-like beasts. And when they're rude and mean to people, they can really put you down to the ground and die.
They were exactly like those rampant green ants I hate to be a part of, except at least Irkens had more mind and strategy to these things. And when they made fun of Dib, I'll usually go and rib off their vocal cords with a sword, and make a violin out of it to play for Dib. I've tried all I can to impress this guy, but he's still suspicious about me being Irken, and he still considers me as a best friend, but 'Caution: Highly Dangerous When Mad'.
So one night, after weeks of trying to get the boy to love me back, using all my romantic (but graphic) charm, I had an interesting plan...
"Scarlett, check the whole house for Master Zim, and make sure he doesn't know that I'm going out! I'm gonna make this night the most important of my life...And his!" I sighed, drooping down from the bed to the floor.
"He's down in the living room! You gonna have to make this quick!"
"Don't worry, I'll distract him some way or another!"
I went downstairs to the very deep, dark pits of Zim's lair, which I was forbidden to enter. Which I went in every week to find the chocolate bars GIR's been hiding to give to Dib. But Zim's such an idiot, he hasn't even noticed a single piece of evidence between me and Dib, and now he has completely forgotten why I'm living with him in the first place. I typed some random codes and numbers onto a massive keyboard, and right on the screen were the Irkens I absolutely despised the most, and made me hate Irkens to death in the first place. Red and Purple.
"You again?!? I thought you died!" Said Red, but somehow his voice told me he knew this was coming.
"From what? That weak bomb you put in the ship?"
"No, from going crazy living with that defective Zim, HA HA HA!!!" Of course this came from Purple, a taunting sneering one he is.
"Two years, and he still doesn't know his mission is total fake!! HAHAHAHAHA! What an idiot!!"
I hope he dies from his own stupidity, HAHAHAHAHA!!!! And the same goes for you! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"What do you want anyway, you ugly freak of nature?!" Red has the most lamest names for me, pfft.
I shrugged, as if they had any right to make fun of master, no matter how stupid! "Zim has a new project idea that he thinks will interest you both. He says it's so awesome, that this time you won't cut the transmission before he's halfway done! Trust me, every word he speaks of is worth listening too."
I slid my hand to a lever and pulled in downward, in a very sneaky way. The lever allowed the transmission to go on a certain amount of time (10 hours), and disabled any ability to cut or to have a single being move way from their screen before time is up. Very impressive invention, delivered to me secretly by that Vortian whom I asked to fix Scarlett. This time he actually took the money and tips.
"Really? Are you sure?" Purple asked, "This sounds like a scheming!"
"No trick, just incredible random ideas are now here for you two to listen and understand. I'll go get him!"
I called Zim using a device in my PAK, and he flew down there with a huge smile on his face in less than 10 seconds. Then he started to babble and babble on and on, and I sneaked out of the house before anyone had bother to notice. It was a cool night, but warm breezes came up to me, so it wasn't like I needed a coat. As far as I knew Dib was outside tonight, thinking and walking around the pool on Heart Ave., thinking, and looking up to see all the pretty planets, comets and stars that made the most beautiful and largest painting in the Universe: The Night Sky.
It didn't take me long to find him, and it didn't take him long to smile, and let us walk around the city pool, side by side. The pool was surprisingly clean, it was crystal blue water, no chemicals to ruin it, just regular water that did not have the dirt or germs of a single soul. The small waves it made reflected to the sky, making the painting now shine and glow. It was quiet too, but it wasn't a creepy quiet, or a lonely quiet, or a cricket chirping, people coughing quiet, or a annoying moment of silence.
It was peaceful, lovely, and very soothing and comforting for the both of us. None of the street lights or house lights were on, which made it hard to see, but the painting seemed to help us find our paths. One night a single being can only have once but never remember or see it ever again, because once is enough. And this was the perfect time for it to show in my life, along with my love's.
Dib began the conversation, "So...lovely night. Strangely..."
"The sky has formed a astounding painting tonight...." Now I don't normally talk in metaphors or in poetic form, but it's a good way to get a guy, you know?!
"......" Dib hesitated, not knowing the perfect thing to say, which in this case, was silence.
I was silent, too.
He formed a grin at first, but a minute went by, and I saw all his teeth in that wide smile of his.
I smiled, too.
"Yeah."
"Yeah!"
He had sighed and sat right by the pool, with his boots splashing the water. I sat right by him, and gave a pat on his back.
"I still think you're an Irken, Jil. The killing and working for Zim and all? I just don't want to be with a different species that is a true enemy to me." Damn, he made it worse, but what could I do? He made a good argument with that one.
"Well," I tried to say some Shakespeare quotes, but I couldn't get a word from hum, so I tried the truth. "I love you and you love me...So how can I prove myself innocent? You want us be together forever, right?"
"Yeah, I do...but I just can't trust you, if only you could, just maybe.....yeah! That's it!"
"What's it?"
He stood on the on the side of the pool, and looked around to see if anyone was around. I stood up and looked, too. Even though I had no idea what he'll do. I thought it would be something romantic and sweet, 'You are the one because you're so special to my soul' or something like that.
"Well, an important fact I know about Irkens is that other than defeat, their greatest fear is water! Just by one drop of H2O, and their skin burns right off. Disguise or not." I guess he always prefers scientific proof over spirituality.
"That's how I'm gonna prove it to you? I still don't get it-"
"Gonna push you over!"
"Whoa! AHHHH!!!" He pushed me right into the water, and I fallen down, down ,down to the bottom of the pool (which was about 15 feet), and laid down on the bottom. I had my eyes wide open and my mouth dropped down, looking around at the waviness of being underwater, but I did not suffer great pain. I had the great powers of the gods and the lights of heaven and end of tunnels all around me, protecting me from the acid burning.
I swam all around, and look up what was above water, and saw a wavy Dib looking down into the water into my eyes. He was surprised, I was surprised, but I must've been so used to human behavior and function in the disguise, that the holographic cells became real, and I have become one of the humans.
"Jil! JIL?? Come up here!! Are you all right?!? Can you hear me?"
I held my head up to the surface, with my hair (being real) wet and straight down against my shoulders.
"Yeah, I heard you! Come on in, the waters great!" I grabbed onto both of his ankles, and he went down to the bottom of the pool with me, and swam in the water all night long, laughing and being happy together in soggy clothes for hours and hours. The sun raised up soon afterwards, and we parted, naked and letting the wind dry us up, changed into different clothes and began another school day,
******
We hung out together everyday, and had the time of our lives. In one half of the day, I'll always pretend in front of Zim that I was gonna kill Dib any day know, and was acting like a mature, obeying henchmen that Zim always wanted. Sometimes I was on Zim's side of the battle and threw rocks at Dib, and I would 'attack' Dib with my karate moves whenever he 'trespassed' the house. GIR knew the secret too, but he was stupid enough not to tell, and giggle at all the insanity going on.
Scarlet would just sigh and give me all the gossip, but once Dib got to know my laptop, she started to accept him as someone who knew a lot about computers. On the other half I'll go over to Dib's house and play, join him in his Swollen Eyeball meetings and ticked the hell off of Gaz. Then I would Dib some of my techniques, and he'll watch as I hook a guy's nostrils up to the crack of his ass, and force him to walk 80 miles like that. And even at one point, I got myself a musical instrument that'll impress Dib. That and murder all those ex-girlfriends and aliens who have come to Earth.
~ MUSIC STORE ~
"These are all instruments that play music once you know how to read the chords and notes and stuff like that. And each one of them plays a particular type of music, like classical, rap, jazz, plus one kind of music that really gives me a headache and pull my ears off....."
"COOL!!! I wanna get this instrument!"
"But the strings are made of steel, and it's one instrument that has a unique playing form and sound that'll be hard to achieve! I think you might wanna wear gloves or use a pick, it'll bleed your hands just from playing one note..."
I play the most wildest, most awesome and extreme tunes and rhythms that everyone will ever hear. It was powerful and vibrating, and because my fingers are originally metal replacements, they didn't harm me at all, and blew the whole music store away with my tunes. Literally.
"Uh...OOPS! Are you all okay? I know it was kinda destructive, but hey, at least it moved 20 miles west, towards my house! Come on, DIB!!!! I wanna get those 8' tall sound boxes to plug it into down by the electronic shop!"
"Ow.....my head...Oh, god, He picked something up from the ground, "My ears ripped off!!!""
Heh, heh! I played that electric guitar every single day, right down to perfection and make a person's brain explode with it's volume. I loved it, so wild, so powerful and destructive and yet it played beautiful music that made Dib hung around with me even more. *sigh* God, I love that boy!!
But it was until one particular night, that I had a feeling that I just couldn't stay here on Earth anymore. Not only did I have a long need of being with Dib, but I had a long need of being back into outer space. I didn't care about my old body's conditions, I have a new one, a new body to travel all around the galaxy on my hover-board, playing the electric guitar with Dib beside me with.
I was getting sick and tired of staying on the Earth, the humans remind me too much of Irkens, and the environment itself is awfully-vomiting disgusting and hideous. Plus Zim was getting onto me more than normal when I got the guitar, and starting to realize that I hadn't fulfilled my duty in months (well, years) now, and saw me more on Dib's side than his. I didn't want him to figure out the big secret, but I also wanted Dib to know my other big secret, in order to travel around in space with him.
If he loved me the way I have been now, a slight shot of what I am underneath can't upset him. Maybe surprise him, but not truly disappoint. So I ask Scarlet to deactivate the chip that was supposed to be on permanently. In just a couple of weeks and banging and twitching screws and wires, the laptop had made an off switch.
"So, now do you understand what I'm saying?"
"What? ....Oh, yes, yes I do! I'll slice Dib into a trillion pieces! Yeah....heh...heh...".
"Good. Now get in the house, and don't bug me in the lab! I need peace and quiet!!"
