A/N: Wow, so many reviews! I feel so honoured. Thank you Invader-Flame,
ckret2, Peplos Kore, pirate kit, and Twilight Irony. You made me very
happy. Peplos Kore, special thinks for your assistance. You are right. I
do need to watch my 'your' and 'you're' s. (I had thought I caught them
all. !o!) ckret2, to answer your unasked inquiries: (1) I am not going
to end it like this, there is a bit more to go. (2) This was never intended
to be romance of any sort. I feel they can be close friends without sex or
sexual intentions. (3) Don't worry, I haven't forgotten things like the
floating metal or Dib's dreams. They play an important part in the tale
later on. And (4) You actually have met a Neplotn, maybe even more than
one. You probably just haven't realized it yet. (hint: Chapter 3) But
believe me when I say you will meet more very soon. Dib and Zim have
actually both seen a few as well. They just don't know it.
Disclaimer: OK! We all know who owns what, with me owning the least, if any.
On we go..
GIR, Earth, Zim's Base, Barely,
Early Evening.
GIR wandered down to the lower levels of the base to where Dib and Zim were. 'The Scary Monkey Show" was over and GIR had gotten rather bored. He watched as Dib unwrapped his master with tape. Zim was grumping and directing empty threats towards Dib the entire time he unwounded him. It looked like fun and GIR was about to join in when something even more interesting caught his attention.
"OOOOOOOOOHHH!" GIR squealed with delight as he ran towards the trio of leprechauns who stood watching Dib and Zim.
"LEPRECHAUN, YOU CAME BACK! AGAIN!" GIR yelled at the top of his voice, "AND YOU BROUGHT FRIENDS!"
Dib and Zim both jumped at the sound of GIR's voice. Neither one of them had heard the little robot enter the lab. In unison, they turned towards GIR just as he skid to a stop in the middle of the room. They heard a slight zapping sound and watched in stunned amazement as GIR disappeared.
Yuifa Novekt.
GIR stared at the leprechauns with wide cyan eyes. The fact that he was no longer at the base didn't really seem to bother him much. He didn't even seem to mind that he was trapped in a small glass containment chamber. He was to busy watching the four leprechauns as they stood nearby discussing him.
The smallest leprechaun glanced at him and he squealed with delight, waving frantically at her, happy to have her attention.
She growled and turned back towards the others.
"You shouldn't have brought him here." The little purple haired one stated darkly as she glared at the red haired leprechaun. "Dib and Zim are sure to notice he's missing. If this interferes with our plans in any way, you three will wish you were never born."
"Ten is right. He can see us," The tallest one said in their defense, indicating the red haired leprechaun, "We wouldn't have been able to effectively survey this unfortunate development with him yelling at us. They would have discovered we were there." He failed to add the fact that both Dib and Zim had seen the small droid disappear.
"So you bring him here?" She glared at the tallest one. He seemed to shrink behind his white high collar and light blue protective lenses. "By now they probably know we were there. He's not there. And if all three of you are here, then who is watching this 'unfortunate development'?"
The three leprechauns looked nervously at each other, unsure of what to say.
"YOU!" she pointed at Ten. "You're stuck on surveillance duty until further notice. If they discover us, it's your head."
Ten bowed low to her in respect, closing his eyes as he did so.
"My Honour! My Duty!" He stated, only partially meaning it.
As he turned to leave, the purple haired leprechaun caught his arm.
"One more thing!" she stated, pointing towards GIR
The small robot was entertaining himself by running in a random direction in the confines of the containment chamber with his eyes closed yelling 'WHEEE!' at the top of his 'lungs' while waving his arms above his head. When he hit the wall, inevitably knocking himself to the ground, he would sit up, shake his head, stand up, and then repeat the entire process all over again.
"Take him with you!" The little leprechaun growled.
"But I can't. I don't want to." Ten whined. "If we take him back, they'll know we are back."
She approached him shaking a threatening fist. "If they already know we were there, then they know we'll be back. They know they've been tagged."
Ten flinched but didn't pull away as she grabbed his uniform by his neck and yanked him down so she could see him eye to eye. If he had pulled away, he knew, she would have doomed him good.
"If you value your life at all," She hissed into his terrified face "you will take him back. NOW! He is driving me crazy."
"My Honour! My Duty!" he responded with barely a whisper.
"Good!" She said releasing him.
She turned and walked from the room, the other two following her, leaving Ten to deal with the tiny, insane robot.
