CHAPTER SIX
"Go away, Zim." Dib replied.
Zim glared and 'hmph'ed, but began to walk away.
"It's my parent's. . ." Sam said
Zim turned back around. "Your. . .parents?" he repeated
"Yeah." She wiped away a few tears. "My parents. See, tomorrow is my birthday, and they gave me this present."
". . .And?"
"and instead of being normal parents, they're away on some trip. They say they're working, but they're not. I know where they are. They're in Hawaii having fun. They think that they can just send me nice things and then forget all about me. they haven't actually seen me on my birthday since I turned five. . .come to think of it, I hardly see them at all."
"So why do you need your parents to be happy?"
". . .Zim, you're so. . .weird. I mean, isn't there any point in your life where you're glad you have parents who care about you?"
Dib laughed slightly at that comment "I told you Sam, Zim doesn't have parents. He's an alien."
"Dib, stop it." She ordered, giving a stern look to him.
"I have no use for parents. They mean nothing to me." Zim replied.
The bell to go back inside rang, and they all began to walk off. Zim picked up the package and handed it to Sam.
"You forgot this."
She shrugged her shoulders "it's probably something stupid anyway. You can have it if you want. Maybe you'll like it."
When they got back in class, Dib walked up to Zim before mrs bitters came into the room. "Zim. . .what's that?"
"It's the present Sam gave me. now go away. I must investigate the contents of this package. AWAY!"
Dib glared at him as he began to unwrap the present. It was a fairly small box, and Zim was a bit shocked when he saw what was inside. The first item was a magazine. The cover read 'The Truth is out There'.
He didn't have time to look at the rest, because class had begun again. Zim wasn't really sure what the lesson was about, because he couldn't get his mind off of the magazine. Why would Sam's parent's buy her a magazine about paranormal events?
Dib wasn't really sure what the lesson was about, because he was busy glaring at Zim and loathing him greatly.
Sam wasn't really sure what the lesson was about, because she was busy working on one of her sketches in her notebook. One of them was of two people on the beach, sunbathing while a girl that looked oddly familiar was standing behind them with a machine gun and a talk-bubble that read 'die parents die! Muahahahahaha!' (me: heh, wonder who the people in the picture were lolz) and the other sketch, she was working on.
The lunch bell rang, finally. Zim was walking out the door when he tripped over something. . .or should I say someone. He glared at Dib, who had been the one to trip him. He picked the box back up and walked away, too angry to deal with it at the moment. He went outside and tried to contact GIR. He had considered going home for lunch so he could create a machine that would cause the earth to implode, but his idea was a bit ruined when Sam walked up to him.
"So, what did they give me?"
"A stupid magazine about paranormal junk. Not like any of that is real." He said, tossing the magazine out of the box and onto the ground.
"Riiiight." She replied, picking up the magazine and shoving it in her book bag. "I might read this later." She explained.
The next thing he saw in the box was a black shirt with a skull on the front. Zim took it out and examined it, looking to Sam to see if she wanted it.
"Nah, not interested."
"I'll throw it away later." Zim replied, placing it on the ground next to the box.
He reached in and pulled out the next item. A pair of lacy pink girls underwear. . .which he quickly tossed to the ground. He looked up at Sam who was slightly blushing.
"Pink. .. yech. . .I hate pink. . ." she said, trying to hide the slight embarrassment.
He reached in, LOOKING this time, and pulled out the last item in the box. It was a letter.
"What's it say?" Sam asked Zim.
"Uh. . .it says 'Dear Samantha. Sorry we missed your birthday again this year, sweetie. We had to attend something important that came up. Hopefully, you can enjoy your gifts until we can see you again. Are you having fun at your new school? We saw that you won another tournament while we were watching TV. Congrats. Your father and I thought you might enjoy another one of those paranormal magazines. Heavens knows Dib doesn't have enough. (honey, the two of you should really find a 'normal' hobby) Your father and I have much to get done today, so I will have to say goodbye. All our love –Mom and Dad'. THAT'S it?
Sam sighed and began walking back inside.
"Yeah. That's what they do every year. I think they have the letter photo copied or something and just re-write it with some stuff changed around a little."
". . .you're just like him, aren't you?"
"Like who?"
"The Dib-hum. . .I mean Dib."
". . ."
"You're looking for aliens, aren't you?"
"Yeah. One day I want to be a paranormal investigator. Ever since I was. . .well, ever since I could remember, I've wanted to meet a real live alien or a ghost or. . .something. I could learn so much from them. I mean, think about it, Zim. Somewhere right now on another planet there could be aliens, watching over us through microchips or something that are planted on Earth."
"Or. . .they could be trying to destroy Earth." Zim suggested, having fun with this
'Heh! She has no idea that I'm even an alien! She's so stupid!'
"Dib thinks that the aliens are trying to destroy our planet. But I bet if I ever met an alien, he'd be really sweet. . .maybe a little hot-headed, but still really sweet."
"Hey Sam, what if I told you that I-"
The bell to go back inside rang, and his sentence was cut off.
"What was that?" she asked him
". . .huh? what are you talking about? I said nothing."
She giggled and then walked off. "You're going to be late if you don't hurry up."
END CHAPTER!!!
Peggi: Yey! I got new reviews, guys! Mk, here's my responses to the reviews since I have nothing better to waste my life with then responding to them
The Maine Coon Cat-Yeah, definite possibilities of a Zim & Sam friendship. Lots of barriers so far, not to mention the ones in the future. . .but hey, it could work
Eevee Goddess of Light-Adding the Charolotte Cup as well as Yugioh into this fic. . .only something that I, the Insane Authoress would do (lightning flashes in the background). . .wow. . .(is mesmurized by the lightning). . .oh yeah. . .you should consider tying your Yamis up before you review. Works for me
Eax M. Attalos-One of my teachers once scared me into passing a class as well. . .I hate it when teachers do that. Zim was sneaky, true that, but sadly, his plans were kapooied. . .oh well. . .
Resa and Harmony-YES I WANT MY SHUN LEMON AND I WANT IT NOW!. . .ahem. . .To clear up your confusion, no Zim doesn't have a crush on Sam. At this point, I have a fear of rabid Zim fangirls attacking me for having him like my OC. . .perhaps in the future when I am more brave and have weapons with which to defend myself. (pulls out pocket watch) (swings it slowly) you WILL give me the Shun fic before my birthday. . .you WILL (tackles) or else! BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!
