CHAPTER FIVE
Zim stood there in complete horror. How could this happen?!
"Th-the permission slip?! How could. . .but I don't understand!"
suddenly, it all made sense to him. When the paper had fallen out of his pocket the evening before, Sam had thrown it away for him. He thought that the permission slip for the field trip was what had fallen out, and had completely forgotten that it could have been the test. . .
"What's wrong? Loose the permission slip? You should really be more careful. . .you should really check things before you throw them away. You might just throw the wrong thing away." Dib teased him.
Zim glared at him with little flames in his eyes. "I WILL get revenge for. . .wait. . .how did you know it was thrown away?"
"Think about it, Zim. You're the one who said I was the inferior being. Just think." Dib pulled a black. . .thing out of his pocket. "oh, and Zim. I'd like to introduce you to my latest purchase. It's a device that I will use TO PROVE THAT YOU'RE AN ALIEN!!!"
"Huh?" Zim looked at the object and was blinded momentarily by a bright flash. "AH! MY EYES! I CAN'T SEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!" Zim ran around in circles until he felt someone tackle him to the ground.
Dib pulled at his disguise. He wouldn't let Zim get away THIS time! Zim felt the hair on his disguise slowly coming off, and he had to act quickly. Suddenly, he heard a student scream "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!" and knew that soon, there would be a clutter of students surrounding them, and every last one of them would realize that Zim was an alien if Dib pulled off the disguise.
"Give up, Zim! You know I've won!"
"I'll. . .never. . .give. . .UP!" Zim screamed, shoving Dib off.
Whatever Dib had used to blind him was slowly wearing off, and he could see Dib, but he was blurry. Zim debated fighting or trying to get away, but then he heard mrs bitters speaking.
"Is there a problem here?"
"No, I was just helping Zim fix his hair." Dib lied.
Zim could pretty much SEE Dib glaring at him, even with his blurred vision. The bell rang, and in a way, Zim was thankful. Dib had almost succeeded that time. Zim would have to be more careful from now on.
"Today we will be studying the polar ice caps. Does anyone know what would happen to the human population if the ice caps melted all at once?"
". . ."
"We'd be doomed. Doomed doomed DOOMED!"
It took forever for the recess bell to ring that day, or at least it seemed like it. As they were walking out of the class, Sam ran up to Zim.
"Hey. What's up Zim?" she asked.
"What do you want?" Zim asked her, trying to walk a bit faster.
She picked up her speed also. "Nothing. I just wanted to apologize for what Dibie-kins did this morning. Sometimes he can be so. . .weird."
"Hmph."
"So, anyway, do you want to hang out?"
"Why would I want to 'hang out' with you? I know what you did."
"Huh?"
"There was only ONE way Dib could have known about you throwing away the wrong paper. You knew what it was, didn't you?" Zim asked, stopping to face her.
"Zim. . .me and Dib, we're a team. I couldn't let you get him into trouble. I'm sorry. I was going to ask you for the paper before we said goodbye, but when you dropped it, I opened it, and figured it would be much easier to just ask you about it and. . .see, I knew you'd put the permission slip in there too and I thought that you'd think you dropped the wrong. . .um. . .the right paper and-"
". . .that. . .didn't. . .make ANY sense. . ."
"Can we just forget about it? In class I talked to Dib about this morning and I think that maybe he should stop saying you're an alien and you should stop trying to get him into trouble. Why does he think you're an alien, anyway?"
"Right whatever." Zim hadn't been listening to anything she said, and walked off, leaving her standing there.
Gaz walked up to her. "Hey Sam, I learned a new move. Wanna see?"
"Sure!"
the girls walked to the deserted side of the playground, away from the other children and the noise. About half way through recess, Dib walked up to them. Zim was sitting by the tree, watching him. . .glaring. . .well, Zim was actually spying on Dib, plotting against him.
That was when a limo pulled up to the school. Zim watched as a teenager with jet black hair stepped out and walked up to Dib, Gaz, and Sam. She pulled Sam aside, and the two walked over to the limo and the older girl handed Sam a small package. Sam walked back to Gaz and Dib and tossed the package on the ground and fell to her knees crying. Zim had hardly ever seen Gaz put down her game slave, but she quickly discarded it and she and Dib began hugging Sam to comfort her. Zim had to know what was going on.
He had seen humans cry before, but never really understood it. All he knew, was that humans were weak, and he could use this against them when he destroyed the planet. He didn't even realize he had left the tree when he heard his own voice.
"Why is she crying?"
