Chapter 2: On My Way
Author's Note: On My Way refers to that great song On My Way that was in Matilda then Ice Age and is driving me insane right now. So I named a chapter after it so I could remember how crazy it drove me. Ooh! Ooh! Remember how I drove you crazy...remember how you made me sick...blah blah blah...your not home...after the boys of summer have gone...hmm. Ever have two songs in your head at once? It ain't pleasant. Anyway, to understand this chapter, you have to know that song. If you don't, well, tough luck man.
6 months later, Zim waited in his spaceship, still silently hoping the Tallest hadn't heard him call them fools.This was driving him crazy for 6 months straight. Now he had to do something about it...even if it meant...singing...the...doom...song.
He clenched his teeth and started,
"Dooo-" But then a transmission came through. "Incoming planet Earth"
"Phew," the alien sighed, relieved. "Saved by the transmission. Er...AH HA HA HA...ha. Now I shall come back to Earth and reign DOOM upon their filthy EARTHEN heads! AHAHAHAHA!!!"
Down on Earth, a grown up (um, I can't really imagine what Dib would look like grown up. whatever. use your human imaginations, stink-beasts) Dib wore his headset from when he was (10, 12, 11?) and sat on the roof. He stood up, shocked at what he had heard.
"No."
And not half an hour later, Gir was still in the old house sipping the same can of Diet Poop. By now it was empty, but he didn't care and continued sipping, making loud empty can noises. Suddenly, his master came through the door and meagerly walked off to the kitchen and down the toilet. GiR froze for about 30 seconds as usual and absorbed the moment. Then he cried out in happiness and turned on the Scary Monkey Show, 20th Anniversary Edition.
"Hello Earthen children, do not fear me, I am Zim, NOW LET US LEARN!" Zim quickly recited. And he collasped in his new desk. Looking around, the Zim noticed that the children had changed A LOT. And where was Dib-monkey...wait a minute...these weren't the usual children at all. They were NEW children. And then he remembered something. Humans aged. Quite quickly. And baaadly.
Miss Bitters, now celebrating her 2,003rd birthday, slithered over to the green boy. "Wait a minute..." she hissed. "I remember you...you're that Zim boy."
Zim stood on his desk. "Nonsense," he replied. "I am Zim Jr., son of Zim. He died in a tragic...dying...accident...I SHALL LEARN!"
Satisfied (sort of), the teacher disappeared into the shadows behind her desk. "Okay, students, today we have 2 HORRIBLE new students. That kid," she said, pointing to Zim. "and this pathetic filler kid who thinks he has a speaking role," and the kid she points to mouths words at this but nothing is heard.
DUM DUM DUUUUM!
Zim sits down at his desk. "Ah, back at the old block of wood with mishapen horrible metal legs." Suddenly, that song "Send Me on My Way" starts playing on the speaker thingy that the principal likes to talk through. Erie music accompanies this, as all the students just sit there and pretend the song isn't making them insane inside.
Finally, Zim gets up on his desk, screams, says "AH I CAN'T TAKE IT!" and falls to the floor twitching.
Miss Bitters snarls. "ZIM JR.! The priiiiiiiiiiiincipal'll get you for that. Now GO!" she points to the door,
Zim gets up and puts his hands behind his back and marchs out all dignified.
(I used to do that all the time at school. It drove my classmates completely insane. How fun!)
Outside in the hall, happy, upbeat music starts playing. How very happy. But then, Zim realizes what song it is.
"QUIT DOIN' THAT!"
End Chapter
Told ya so. I know I'm just takin' my sweet time getting a plot for this thing, but that's how all great works are done. Right.
