Chapter 3: Visitor of Summer
Disclaimer: I don't own Zim, the Ataris, South Park, or Gameslave.
Author's Note: Visitor refers to alien 'cause the boys at South Park call 'em visitors. Of Summer refers to the other song I have in my head, The Boys of Summer by the Ataris. And it sounds cool!
At this time Dib is at home. He wasn't very successful in the "real science" field. I know this because he still lives with his dad, But since Professor Membrane is always gone doin' important stuff, it's like he has his own house. Yeah. Anyhoo, he's up on his roof again listening for sounds from space. Somehow he jumps and lands in the sink inside the house.
"Gaz! The aliens are coming back!"
Gaz stands in the room waiting for her laundry to finish. That's right, she's just here to do laundry.
"You're pathetic."
The Dib starts to climb out of the sink, but his laptop, which conveinently was not damaged by sink waters, starts to to pick something up.
"That house...THAT HOUSE," say Dib, as he hops out of the sink and scurries away.
Gaz sighs. "Oh well. As long as I'm here I guess I'll make pause TOAST!"
And at THAT HOUSE, Zim walks in the door. He stands there for a moment and then exclaimes, "STUPID HUMAN!"
GIR walks up to Zim happily. "What'sa matter, master?"
"I got suspended for going insane because of that MADNESS song! That horrible, ma-"
He stops. GIR and Zim turn around slowly. The madness dog is sitting there by the door. The two scream crazily. Then someone knocks on the door. Zim, out of disguise, stops screaming and runs for the toilet, but GIR just keeps screaming. Anyway, Zim flushes himself and GIR down the toilet. You get the point.
Outside, Dib is behind the door. "I hear you in there you lil' robot!!" he yells. "I HATE that lil' robot!"
People on the street stare mindlessly at Dib. "What are you lookin' at?!"
Down in the lab, er, "normal human basement", GIR continues to scream for several seconds, then falls on the floor asleep.
Zim walks over to the computer. "Computer. Show me who's at the door."
"Command voice not recognized."
"What? I am Zim!!" cries the alien.
"Just kidding," the computer says quickly. "I'm just messin' with ya."
"Of course you are, you joker you...NOW WHO'S AT THE DOOR?!!"
The computer brings up Dib knocking on the door. "Subject identified as Dib."
GIR suddenly runs up to the computer screen. "I'M GONNA EAT A RAT!!!" he screeches. "I can hardly wait!"
Zim smacks his green head in exasperation. "I don't deserve this. GIR, when a lead roll can't stand on its own, a slightly dumb sidekick is cast. Do you know why?"
GIR grins. "I don't know. That's what's great about it!"
"Because of these FILTHY humans! That's why! And I'm going to make them (the computer shows planet earth) paaaaaaaay." Zim answered his question.
Pause.
"You know that isn't a suitable cliffhanger, right?" GIR asks.
At lunch the next day at school (Zim's little suspension seemed to be over).
Zim walks over to the pop table.
"Not pretty enough!"
He tries the nerd table.
"Not smart enough!"
Finally he walks (dignifiedly, of course, and I know thats not a word) over to a table with a few kids. They had stuff like braces, pigtails, and...braces. Ah, the social outcasts. Zim sat down at this table.
Zim looks at the inhabitants of the table, slowly picks his fork up, and chews on his mashed potatoes. He now relaxes and eats on his terrible food.
"I have this uncle who says you're an alien," a girl on the other side of the outcast table says suddenly.
The Zim spits out his food. Ptui! Ptui! "What? I'm normal!"
"Whatever." Then the girl gets her backpack and takes out her gameslave 10.
3 other girls walk by. They travel in packs. One of them says, "Uhg! What are you doing with that dork, Alex?"
Alex turns around. "He's not a dork...well, he is, but he's also an alien."
The pack is not amused. They walks to their popular table, annoyed.
"Hey," says another kid. "So you're Zim JR. I have a JR in my name too. I'm Keef JR."
THUD! Zim falls face first into his maccaroni and cheese. "It's going to be a loooong day."
END CHAPTER
In the next chapter Zim shall be sent home for severe macaroni and cheese burns. Kay? I hate to end it there. I know the name 'Alex' is used by everyone everywhere. But I love that name. For a girl, anyway. If you're a boy and you're name is Alex, chances are I think you're weird. Alex is NOT a Marysue. And if you know who her mother is then, well, yay for you.
