THE GOLDEN PRISON

CHAPTER 3: DID I LIVE IT RIGHT

Authors Note: This chapter, and ONLY this chapter is a songfic to "the day that I die" by Good Charlotte. I LOVE THAT SONG.

One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day
I will die

The Killing list was passed out to every cell on the eve of the fifth day. It read...

From Decree Of The Great Lord Slorchian Mangerine ,

Due to over population the following Irkens will be sent off to for execution later today.

Zalor

Zita

Invader Zim

Nik

Lou

Chi

Invader Skoodge

Invader Stink

Zim smiled he knew today was it, the hell was going to be over, and he was moving on.

Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother, told her I loved her
And I begged her not to cry

He sat in the cell, everyone had seen the list and was ignoring him. As if they were afraid to catch his nonexistent death disease. May sat in the corner crying her eyes out, he walked over to her slowly and put his arm around her, in a loving way.

I wrote a letter
I said I'd miss her
And I signed that Goodbye

"May," He breathed softly into her ear, "Tell me you love me."

"Zim," May said, "I do."

They held each other for hours like that remembering there old days at the orphanage.

Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel fine (the day that I die)A

The Guard arrived with the cup. It was a goblet full of a dark sticky substance; he offered it out to Zim. Any one else would have believed this to be a token of friendship, but the other prisoners knew better than that, it was the execution. Zim took the goblet in his hands and began to raise it to his lips. He could hear May yelling and crying. But Liz and Kim held her back; they knew it had to be done.

We took a drive and we drove thru D.C.
To see the places we lived, long conversations
We talked of old friends and all the things that we did

Summer nights
Drunken fights
Mistakes we made
Did we live it right

Zim paused for a moment, thinking. How long had he been a mess up, how long had he truly been a plague on other people. Maybe secretly everyone was glad he was going, no one was thinking "oh poor Zim, he was such a screw up but I'll miss him anyway." His whole life had been a lie.

He took the first and last sip.

Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel fine (the day that I die)

Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, Did I live it right? (the day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, I know I lived it right (the day that I die)

Screams filled his ears as he blacked out, all he wanted now was to be thrown into that wheelbarrow with Kiz, where he couldn't be a problem to anyone anymore.

The world faded away.......
