Ch. 7:A tribal council concerning Dib and Brandy

Disclaimer: IZ belongs to Jhonen and nickelodeon.Survivor belongs to someone, I forgot who, but it's not me!

The campfire was dying when Dib woke up to notice an empty space in the circle where Brandy usually slept. She was sitting on the sand by the shore, gazing at the vast ocean that lay before them. "Can't sleep?" Dib asked Brandy as he sat down next to her. "No. I'm too excited. Who knows what secrets we may discover in that temple tomorrow."As she talked to Dib, she hugged her knees in excitement and enthusiasm. "Actually she's a lot like you" Zim's words echoed throughout Dib's mind like a lone voice in a large theater. He cleared his throat. "Brandy, back at my home, whenever I saw something out of the ordinary, no one would believe me. Even if proof was right there in front of their eyes, they would just say that I was crazy."Brandy nodded in relation to this. "I know how you feel. I would see things that I know was real, but everyone else would just say that I was hallucinating or needed to see a therapist. But I wouldn't listen to them. I know what I see, and that's all I've ever known" the dawning similarities between the two brought about an awkward silence. Dib was the one to break it. "It's because of the local widespread belief that I'm crazy that I don't have any friends. And I guess that no friends means no allies when it comes to the fight to save all of humanity."He looked to Brandy to see if she was still listening. She was, so he went on "You and I have a lot in common, what with everyone thinking we're crazy and interested in the unknown, and I was wondering if you would help me in my fight against Zim." Dib opened his mouth to speak some more, but Brandy stopped him so that she can speak. "Let me guess, you're perfectly capable of fighting Zim on your own, but you know that having an ally can come in handy sometimes." Dib nodded to show her that she was right., "I don't live in the same town as you, but I'll be moving really soon. What's your hometown's name?"

Zim had awoken to hearing a squeal of delight after Dib had informed Brandy the name of his hometown. " That's where I'm moving to! Yes! Dib, when I'm living there I'll team up with you to fight Zim." Zim scowled at Dib. 'There was supposed to be an unspoken truce as long as both of our lives hung in the balance' he thought furiously, 'that would mean no fighting, no gathering crucial information about the enemy, and absolutely no recruiting allies!' Angrily yet silently, Zim gets up from his place in the circle. 'Fine, Dib-worm. If you want to play this way, we'll play this way...' he looks down to his sleeping robot slave. 'If I wake him up now, he'll make a racket and wake up the others, thus ruining my chance of escape. I'll come back for him tomorrow' Zim leaves the campsite, as well as the tribe.

" Morning, everyone!"Allison greets her fellow castaways as they wake up. Gaz stretches her arms "What time is it?" she asks Allison. " I don't know, but I think it's somewhere around 9:00." She holds out a papaya. "Want one?"

"I'm starting to miss junk food already" Gaz mutters as she accepts Allison's offer. Jennifer peers over to Brandy and Dib, who were still sleeping. "Shouldn't we wake them?"

"They both couldn't sleep after what they found on the other side of the island. Let them rest." Allison told them Heather, however, had other guesses. " I don't know. Those two have been off alone a lot ever since we got here." Jennifer speaks up "Not exactly. Gir was with them the last time." they all turn to Gir, who was sloppily eating a mango. "Gir, what did they do or talk about when you were there?" Gir let the juice from the mango drip down his metallic mouth before he answers "Big-head worried about Crazy-lady being underwater for a long time. Then he worry about booby traps that nearly get Crazy-lady at the temple. I like burritos!" Ignoring the last comment, the castaways discuss what they have heard. " So Dib was worried for Brandy's safety. Very suspicious indeed..." Jennifer interrupt Heather's ponderings. "Wait a second! What are you getting at, Heather?"

"I think that their friendship is more than we've been led on to believe."Heather explains to her companions. "You mean that-"

"scoff as if anyone would like my brother like that."

"I don't know. I think they'd make a cute couple"

" Big-head and Crazy-lady

sittin' in a tree,

K-I-S-S-I-N-G -"

" Hey! Where's Zim?" Jennifer asks. The others look around. "I don't know. I think he ran away."

"He'll come back."

"ANYWAYS, I don't think those two should be left alone anymore. All in favor of coming with them to get the radio and explore the temple say 'Aye'"

"Aye"

"Aye"

"Aye"

"Aye"

"Where's my moose?"

"By unanimous vote, we'll accompany Dib and Brandy to the crash site and the temple."

"The tribe has spoken!"

"Quiet! I need to concentrate on this level!"
