Ch 17: that was just kool-aid!
Disclaimer: You all know what I'm going to say, so let's just skip the disclaimer and get on with the story, K? (Gets attacked by the ninja lawyers) Hey! Hey! I think they get the message!(dodges a numchuck, then a bo staff) I DO NOT OWN INVADER ZIM!( Shirikens pin me to the wall)
(A/N: Sorry I haven't updated. I've been really busy...I'll tell you about it later. This chapter is hella long, but who cares? Now- on with the story!)
"DIB-STINK! WHY ARE YOU LATE!" When Dib had made it to the fountain, Zim was already there, an inpatient look in his lavender eyes (he was still wearing his contacts). Dib paid no attention to the Irken as he carried his love to the serene waters of the fountain. "Dark Booty tailed us and injured Brandy." The paranormal investigator explained, lowering the brunette into the fountain. "What are you doing?" Zim asked suspiciously. The temporary allies gazed down at Brandy. "This is the only way I can save her."
The moment Brandy touched the water, everything she experienced with Dib flash backed to her: The moment they first met... when they confessed their love to each other...the warmth of his skin that cold January night...Slowly, the wounds she received from Dark Booty started to regenerate. The flashbacks kept on coming...Gazing at the stars together...escaping from the saucer morons...And as fast as they came, the flashbacks went. Now all she could see was Dib and Zim standing over her. "Your all right." A relieved smile was on Dib's face as his hand brushed her face. To her, it felt so warm in contrast to the cold water...All of Brandy's life she preferred cold. At least when it's cold, your numb to the pain you feel. That was something she had always told herself. But that was before Dib came into her life. Now, more than ever, she was rethinking her opinions. "Dib...are you okay?"
"As much as you are now." Brandy's large-headed boyfriend was right: her wounds, as I've said before, have healed completely. She sat up in the fountain, then stood. Suddenly, the brunette staggered. Dib caught her as she fell out of the fountain. "I think you're still weak due to loss of blood." Brandy's wet clothes soaked Dib's as he spoke. "But I know I'm safe thanks to you." This would have been a romantic moment, had not Zim had been there. "Dib! Enough talking to your love-pig and give me the antidote" The alien held out his clawed hands in the 'gimme' stance. Dib gave the Irken a I-think-need-to-explain-something-to-youlook. "Uh...Zim...there is no antidote."
"What! Then you leave Zim to die?"
"No, I mean there is no antidote because I didn't poison you."
"Eh?"
"That was just Kool-aid. Blue Kool-aid. It wasn't poison at all." This was too much for Zim to handle. "Then you tricked me into helping you?"
"Yeah, pretty much." Zim expressed his shock and frustration by making weird faces of-- yep! You guessed it-- shock and frustration. "Akk! Wha- You-" was all Zim could say. Then, after doing this for the next ten minutes, Zim shouts "Curse you Dib-monkey!" But before abruptly leaving, he adds "I know about the hot chocolate incident you filthy humans!"
Brandy felt the pressure in her cheekbones increase as her face turned a crimson shade.
"Remind me once again, son, why are we here?" It's been two years since that night. Dark Booty was arrested for arson (the cops blamed him for the explosion) and the Swollen Eyeballs have been disbanded ever since. Now, Dib, Gaz, and Professor Membrane were sitting at a table in Le Restaurer. "It's Brandy's last night singing here." Dib said 'and Dad' he thought, 'even though you might never care...I want you to be around... for what I'm about to do.' The audience cheered as Brandy took to the stage. She was wearing astunning dark blue silk dress, which Dib thought she looked beautiful in... "Hello! It look like everyone's enjoying themselves tonight. Am I right?" The audience gave Brandy a cheer. "I'll take this as a yes. Now, for over the past two years I have enjoyed singing here...and starting a bank account." The audience laughed lightly at her joke. "Those of you may have heard rumors that I'm quitting my job as a singer. I am here to tell you all that the rumors are true. This is my last night here." As the audience gasped, Dib heard a table over "See? Aren't you glad I talked you into coming here tonight?"
"The reason for my resignation is simple: It's my senior year in High Skool and graduation is near. After I graduate, I'm moving to the nearby city to start my training to become- a professional jeweler." Thinking that Brandy had made another joke, the audience laughed hysterically. "No, I'm serious about this." An awkward silence filled the room. "Well, anyways, I guess we should start the show."
Meanwhile, at Zim's house, Zim had contacted the Tallest. "...And then when I least expected it, Dib's filthy love-pig destroys my nanodoomers! Oh. It was horrible just horrible- "
"Zim!" Tallest Red spoke. "You've been ranting about those two for three hours! Give it a rest!"
"But I haven't told you about the time the Dib-pig stole my PAK-"
"Stop calling us Zim! Your mission was a lie! We just wanted to get rid of you, so we sent you on this 'secret mission', hoping that you'd die along the way. You're more hard to kill than aGushkweegasplorch!" Zim was taken aback by Tallest Red's words.
"No! It can't be true!"
"Oh yes it is." Tallest Purple says, as if confirming a scandalous secret.
Meanwhile...
You'll never know just how much
I love you
You'll never know just how much
I care
And if I tried
I just couldn't hide
my love for you
If there's some other way
to prove that I love you
I swear I don't know how
you'll never know if you don't know now
The audience cheered as Brandy finished the last song she would sing in Le Restaurer. "Thank you everyone, you've been a wonderful audience. Enjoy your meals." The brunette put up the microphone and sat down next to Dib."you were great out there, Brandy."
"You really think so Dib?"
"Yes." Dib cleared his throat. "Brandy...there is something I wanted to ask you." Brandy nodded. "Okay, fire away." Dib stood out of his chair. He reached into his pocket and produced a small velvet box. "Brandy, will you-"
"PREPARE YOUSESELVES FOR THE END!"
"What the- Zim? What are you doing here?You're interrupting something important!" Zim, who arrived riding a demon squid, had come to let out his frustration on the pair glaring. "I have put up with you two long enough! Now my demon squid, attack!" As Brandy rushed into battle with the squid wielding an iron wok, Zim attacked Dib. Dib pinned Zim to the ground. "You just had to come at the wrong time, didn't you?" Zim kicked Dib into a waiter. "I don't know what you're talking about, earth-monkey!" Dib retaliated by grabbing the plate the waiter was carrying and threw it at Zim like it was a frisbee of DOOM! "This is one of the most important days of my life- and you're ruining it!" Suddenly, a thought hit Dib. "Wait a second! I haven't done anything to you yet. Why are you attacking me and Brandy?"
"That neither concerns you or your love-pig, Dib-human! It just so happens that my leaders have lied to me for the last eight years(I'm guessing Zim came to earth around the fifth grade) telling me this was a secret mission when they really only wanted to get rid of me! THE PAIN OF BETRAYAL IS TOO GREAT!" Just as Brandy wapped the squid in the eye knocking it out, Zim broke down. "WHY MUST THIS BE! WHY MUST THIS BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He shouted to the ceiling in tears. The brunette, who had heard the entire thing in between wappings, felt a ping of sympathy. She walked over to Zim and patted him on the shoulder. "There there, Zim. We all get lied to for a long period of time. I mean, take for example Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny, or Columbus."Brandy pauses for a moment. "Pocahontas, The Pilgrims, how hot dogs are made..." Zim came to a revelation as Brandy ranted on. "Your love-pig is right, Dib! I should see this as a happy thing! I AM FREE NOW!"
"But she didn't say that."
"The Tooth Fairy, McDonalds, Wal-Mart..."
"All of this taking-over-the earth-stuff was getting boring anyways. Now I'll just try to conquer Antarctica!"
"How can you conquer it if there's no people there?"
"Huh?"
"Never mind." Dib came back to what he was focusing on before. He grabbed the velvet box (which somehow ended up in someone's martini glass during the scuffle) and grabbed Brandy's right hand. "Brandy, we've known each other for a while now. We both have our dreams, what with you wanting to be a professional jeweler and me a paranormal investigator, but after they are accomplished..." Dib got down on one knee and opened the box, revealing a silver ring with a sapphire(Dib remembered Brandy saying once that she preferred sapphires over diamonds). "...Will you marry me?"
Everyone save Professor Membrane and Gaz had fledat Zim's arrival,so there was no one else to go quiet. Zim was very confused. "What? What is this marriage the earth-monkey speaks of? Tell Zim!"
"Be quiet! Your voice is annoying!" Gaz snapped at the Irken. Brandy smiled. "If our relationship lasts that long, then yes, yes I will marry you."
"ZIM MUST COME! ZIM MUST COME TO THIS WEDDING! ZIM MUST KNOW THE WEDDING RITUALS OF HUMANS IF HE'S GOING TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET!" Dib raised an eyebrow. "I thought you've given up taking over Earth."
"Yes, well, uh, I CHANGED MY MIND! YES! I WILL CONTINUE MY QUEST TO DESTROY THE HUMANS! EVEN THOUGH I DON'T HAVE TO! VICTORY FOR ZIM!"
"By the way, where's Gir?" The now engaged brunette asked the invader, who shrugged. "I don't know, he's somewhere."
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas-
Jennifer and Gir were in a wedding chapel. The priest, who was an Elvis impersonator, had just have them exchange vows. "I now pronounce you robot and wife. You may give the bride a pie in the face." Gir produced out of his head a pie and throws it to Jennifer's face. "Mmm! Mango Creme pie!"
FIN
(A/N: YES! It is the end to this fan fiction! Anyway, I was supposed to explain to my readers why I haven't updated in a really long time, So here it goes: I'VE BEEN BABYSITTING! The neighbors' grandchildren were visiting and both of them had to work, so they turned to me! They would have hired my sister, but she was busy working at McDonalds. Oh sure, the little 5 and 4-year-old seemed innocent, but the adults turn their back, and they transform into little demons! Demons who crave peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! The horror! Anyway, after two days, I was pretty worn out, but the trouble was worth it, for I was $60 richer! And I had just the place to spend both my $60 and my saved allowance: Barnes and Nobles! I went on a total shopping spree, and the cashier, who I might add was very attractive, talked me into becoming a B&N member. I am grateful that he did that, for I buy a LOT of books there. And then I just had to read every single book I bought which was about 6, (4 manga, 1 comic and 1 on Japanese swordsmanship,which, I might add, isvery interesting) so that is how I was delayed on finishing my fan fiction. Hope you've enjoyed my work. Sometime I will start a new Fan fiction, I'm thinking of a parody of 'The Real World', so keep your eye open if you love my work. Bye-Bye! # blows kisses to random people like a movie star #)
