Ch 13: bug of love
disclaimer: No, Jhonen Vasquez is the one who owns Invader Zim, not I. I don't own Survivor(even though my health teacher sent an audition tape once but didn't make the cut), and piggys are awesome, goats are to(till a point) but turkeys-TURKEYS- shudders- no.
That morning, Dib noticed something was wrong: Brandy was gone. In panic, he rushes to Allison, the only friend of Brandy that he trusted. "Where's Brandy?" Dib asks. Allison turned her head to face him. "She went off on her own. Didn't say what she was up to though..."
"Do you know which way she went?" Dib runs in the direction that Allison pointed. Little did he know that someone was watching him... "foolish earth monkey! The Dib pig is unaware that I am spying on him!" Gir was with Zim, munching on a papaya, seeds and all. "Why are we spying on Big-head?" he asks with a southern accent. Zim turns to his robot slave. "We need to know ahead of time what they are planning so we can sabotage them!" the Irken invader curled his clawed hands into fists with relish at saying the last two words. Gir giggled. "I think he's gone now"
"WHAT! Why didn't you say so! We must FOLLOW HIM!" Zim turned his angry yells to a low whisper. "Quiet Gir! We don't want him to hear us!"
Dib had wondered to a less explored area of the Island, hoping to find Brandy. He soon found a lagoon enclosed by jutting rocks. Dib could swear he was hearing splashing, like an animal was swimming on the other side of the wall of rocks. Curious, Dib slowly scaled the wall to see what it was. Closer...closer...Dib was five feet away from the top. Closer... closer...he could hear even more splashing, like someone spilling water into the turquoise blue sea. He was at the top! He lifted his head - "Ahhhhhhh!" the last thing Dib saw before feeling the sting of salt water was Brandy's naked form. She had left on her own to bathe in the ocean, and did not expect company. Quickly, she threw on her shirt, pants, and other such clothing, and climbed the rocks to see who the peeping tom was. "Dib! What were you spying on me for!" her face turned beet red with embarrassment when she saw who it was. Zim, meanwhile, was enjoying Dib's suffering "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" silently laughing to himself, Zim collapsed to the jungle floor, clutching his side. Gir just stood there and watched the awkward pair at the lagoon. After the stinging in his eyes went away, Dib stood up to explain. "I wasn't spying on you, I was looking for you! Then I heard you splashing in the water and thought it was a dolphin or something- " Brandy looked skeptical for a moment, then remembered that in the week that she had known Dib, he had never lied to her once. "Okay, I believe you." then a question popped up in her head. "Why were you looking for me?" the paranormal investigator had thought the question odd, but answered anyway. "Because...I was worried that something bad had happened to you" Brandy's heart skipped a beat. "you were worried about me?"
Zim was growing bored with hearing their conversation. "Why aren't they plotting against me? This is one weird alliance." Gir giggled, as if he knew he was going to see something he wasn't supposed to. Zim turned to his insane robot. "Gir? Do you know something that I don't?" that made Gir giggle even more. "Tell me Gir! Tell Zim what you know!" Gir just pointed to Zim's enemies.
Back to Dib and Brandy... "Yeah, I guess I was." there was a moment of silence between the two (wow, I seem to put a lot of those in this fanfic) which was shattered like a candy window in action movies when Brandy uttered six words. "Dib...I think I love you" Dib inched closer to her. "I think I love you to." Slowly, the two kissed.
Zim was never more confused by their actions. Gir covered his mouth to contain his laughter. "Gir, what are they doing? Make them stop! It's freaking me out!" wow, did you ever notice that Zim never said that before? Anyway, Gir continued suppressing giggles. "They've been bitten by the bug of love!" he managed to say before bursting into a fit of giggles. But the love struck castaways were too busy kissing to hear. "Bug of love? They've caught a disease! Mighty Tallest! I must flee before I too am bitten- why are you giggleing Gir? This is serious!"
"Don't worry, master. Love Bug figurine of peach!"
"Don't you mean 'figure of speech'?"
"Exactly!" Seeing that Gir was his only source of information at the moment, Zim questions Gir further. "Okay, Gir. Tell me what is this 'love' you speak of?" A long pause from Gir , then "it's when humans care for another and give each other cards and heart-shaped mushy notes!" Zim raised an eyebrow. " 'heart-shaped mushy notes?' "He responded monotonously. Realizing that he won't get anything that made sense to him out of Gir, Zim turns his back on both his enemies(who by now have stopped kissing) and his safety as he left for camp to ask one of the other humans about love.
