Mahalo for reviewing! K, well funny story about Gretchen! Heh, I had no idea when I wrote this that she was an actually character on Invader Zim! I'm not kidding! Isn't that weird? So, when I found that out I was like "Great, I have to go back a re-type the whole thing" (oh, P.S: I'm not making this all up as I go! I had this story on a few other sites before this one. I wrote it about a year ago and never finished it so now, I'm going to attempt to!) but, then I thought about it a little bit and I decided to make Gretchen the Gretchen in the actually show! Lets just say she got an ex-tream makeover or something! I didn't really think anyone would notice but, since someone did, I'm going to re-type the story a little bit and see if I can some how fit it in. So, that's why I'm not just submitting chapter after chapter like crazy!
Disclaimer: I still don't own any of the Invader Zim characters but, I still own everyone else. Yeah, ok.
Macie looked confused. Whats going on? Why is he here? How do all these other people know Zim? Dib and I are the only ones who know about him,...aren't we? Tons of questions were spinning round in her head. Macie was starting to feel a bit dizzy. She put her hand up to her forehead, it was burning hot. She closed her eyes. This is not the right time to get sick. Was it because of Zim? I'm not that surprised! In fact, she wasn't really surprised at all. She sort of had this strange feeling that this had something to do with Zim the minute she opened the letter. Its hard to explain, its almost like a little voice in the back of her head saying 'Go to the party, talk your parents into taking you there. Its important. Its from Zim'. I still can't believe they let me. Macie thought about her parents sitting in the room of they're hotel, most likely scared that I'm going to get kidnapped again or something. Actually, she knew her parents were freaking out. They had already called her six times since she left on her cell phone! Her parents don't really know about Zim. She told them that she got robbed by some guy and then, she couldn't find her way back to the hotel they were staying at that time. I bet they...
"Are you ok?" Dib asked.
Macie opened her eyes. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"You just look kind of...not good."
"Well, I'm ok. Really, I am!" The truth was, Macie wasn't feeling good at all. Its almost like I know some thing bad is about to happen. She looked around at everyone else. They all seemed to have a different expression on their faces. Diego and Dib looked confused. Diego a little more so than Dib. Ivi had her face buried in Coran's shoulder. Coran eyes darted back and forth between Ivi and the rest of us with an unsure face. Gretchen looked as confident as ever. How can she be like that? Macie wondered. Adrian still looked surprised. Noelani was another story. Macie brought her attention to the smallest (and probably youngest) member of the group. WHOA! The Hawaiian is mad! Macie thought. Noelani sat in a chair apart for the rest of us. She glared at Zim. Only, she didn't really look to threatening. Noelani is very childlike, she almost looks like an older Lilo (off of Lilo and Stitch) .She looked like a little girl who had just gotten her doll taken away from her. Zim seemed to be happy with our reactions. What could he possibly want? I know why he would want me or Dib but, all these other people? What did they do to him? Or what did he do to them? Macie looked at Zim expediently. Ok, Zim. Just say what you need to say and leave! Macie closed her eyes. She was starting to feel dizzy, again.
"I bet your wondering why I'm here." Zim said.
"Ya, think?" Coran yelled. Ivi now had her arms around him and her face buried between his shoulder and neck. Wow, Ivi even knows how to be a flirt when shes scared! Coran didn't seem to be bothered by it anymore or at least not to much. If Macie didn't know any better, she would say there was a little spark between those two. But, Ivi seemed to just grab the first person who sat down next to her, its probably nothing personal.
"5 years ago I came to Earth on a special mission...to destroy it." Zim said as he started to walk back and forth. Macie noticed something different about him. He seamed...older. He was taller and just older looking in an Irken-ish sort of way. Well, that makes three of us. she thought. Zim looked older, Dib is a little less of a loser (um, no offense) and I'm not longer the little black girl running around with my hair up in two "puff balls" (like bumble bee's hair on Teen Titans) snooping around Zim's labs!
"Well...duh!" That was Coran again. Zim stopped and looked at him.
"Coran! Shut up! Now, what were you saying Zim?" Gretchen said, glaring at Coran and then suddenly smiling sweetly at Zim.
Zim continued. "But, I was stopped by the 7 of you!"
"Ummmm...theres 8 of us, Zim!" Adrian pointed out.
"Eh?" Zim raised his non-existent eyebrow. He counted us slighly to him self and the slapped his forehead, hard. "GIR!"
"Yeeeeessssss?" A little green dog crawled out from other the couch Coran, Ivi, and Diego were sitting on.
"Ahhhh!" Ivi screamed and grabbed Coran again. "Whats wrong with it? I-its GREEN!" she yelled and buried her face in Coren again who was not likening this one but apparently.
Gir skipped over to Zim, just has happy as can. Zim, who wasn't has happy, yanked him up by his two fake dog ears and started yelling at him. For a minute, I actually felt sorry for the poor thing. When Zim dropped him, he walked back looking really sad and then, suddenly he was happy again and skipped down the hall way that Zim came from.
"All these years," Dib laughed "and you still have that idiot robot for a sidekick!"
"Ah, well. One less human in the world-" Zim said shrugging.
"Ww-wait a minute! What do you mean! Your going to kill us?" Ivi shrieked. She jumped up. "That's it! I'm getting out of here! Now!" She ran to the doors we walked threw to get here. Suddenly, she had a weird feeling. I can't explain it. It was that little voice again.
"Ivi! Stop!" Macie yelled, jumping out of her chair and grabbing the back of Ivi's dress and pulling her down right before she opened the door. "Are you STUPID?" Macie yelled, "You doing exactly what Zim wants you to do! You have no idea what could be behind those doors!" Seriously, I don't even think that was me talking! It sort of just spilled out of my mouth!
"A way out, that's wha-"
"Macies right, you never know..." Adrian said, helping Ivi up. Oh, I'm not here or anything! Macie thought, standing up herself. Ouch! I'm going to have a bruise there! she rubbed her arm and took her seat. Ivi and Adrian did the same and Ivi quickly took Adrian's seat, since it was farther away from Zim. Coran seamed relived to have Ivi gone and he turned his attention to the much prettier Gretchen, who gave him a "Don't even think about it" look.
"Why are you here.I don't want to see you, EVER!" Noelani said, it a totally serious tone. It didn't even sound like a question! Whoa! She really is mad! The attention shifted from Ivi to Noelani and Zim.
"Calm down, Aulii you sister is fine!" Zim said, stepping back when Noelani stood up.
"How can I trust you? I don't want to talk to you!" She yelled. "I don't care what kind of tricks you have up your sleeves, I'm not falling for it!" She started towards the door. Did she not hear a word we just said! Macie's eyes widened as Noelani placed her hand on the door knob.
"What if I can bring your sister back?" Zim said, crossing him arms and smirking. Noelani stopped. She stood there for a few seconds, then looked over her shoulder. "How do I know you didn't kill her?"
"I promise, your sister is alive."
She sighed and slowly walked back to her seat. "I still don't trust you. And after what you did, I never will!"
"Ohana means family..." Coran whispered to the rest of us, (quoting Lilo and Stitch) laughing a bit.
"Hush! She could have hear you!" Adrian whispered back.
"Sorry"
I bet your wondering what Diego is doing all this time. Well, hes just sitting there, zoning out. I would give you details but, theres not much to say! Hes just sitting there, going along with it! Just like I do during a boring math lesson. I wonder what hes thinking about...
"Zim! If you have a point could you please just make it!" Dib said.
"Well, I can't invade the world with 7 er...8 people in my way."
"So, you are going to kill us!" Ivi shrieked.
"I'm not going to kill you. I never said anything about killing anyone, did I? You'll most likely end up killing your selfs!"
"How?" Adrian asked, looking skeptical.
Macie thought about commenting on how Zim "might" have killed who ever Noelani's sister is but, she decided to just let things play out. That seams to be what Diego is doing.
"Its kind of hard to avoid when theres a murder and an Irken, besides me, in this room at this very moment!"
Everyone gasped, even Gretchen!
"Yeah...thats right. Weather you all make it out alive is up to him or her..." Zim said, smiling evilly. "Not everyone here is who they appear to be. You never know what some people are hiding..."
Everyone sprinted to the door.
"Its locked!" Noelani yelled desperately trying to open the door.
"Well, no duh! Zim may be stupid but, not that dumb, stupid!" Gretchen snapped.
"Who are you calling stupid, me or Zim?" Noelani stopped trying the door and faced Gretchen. They fought and before Macie know it, everyone else was too! And I'm trapped in the middle of it! She couldn't really tell what was going where. Macie pushed her way threw the crowd until she made it back to the couches. I feel so dizzy! Dib was sitting on the couch, too. I guess we're the only ones who aren't in this. Macie opened her mouth to say something but, then she noticed something else.
"Wheres Zim?" she yelled.
Everyone stopped. Every thing went quite. Too, quite. No one moved and then suddenly, the ground moved! There was a huge jerk and everyone was thrown to the floor. Everyone shook violently and there was a loud rumbling noise. Is this an Earthquake?
"Whats going on?" Ivi screamed from where ever she was on the floor. It was shaking so hard that Macie didn't even dare to look up from her spot between the two couches.
"I...don't know!" Diego yelled from some where else.
Then, it all stopped. She stayed put for a few minutes.
"Is everyone ok?" Dib asked.
"Y-yes..." a few people said.
"Macie?" Dib said, he placed on hand on Macie's shoulder and shook slightly.
"I-I think I'm ok." She said sitting up.
"Ummmmmm...guys!" Noelani said. Macie looked over at her and gasped. A whole wall had disappeared! And in its place was a huge picture window! Little Noelani looked like nothing but an ant compared to it! But, it wasn't the size or the fact that its even there that surprised me! It was what was behind it! Macie walked up and joined Noelani at the window.
"I...I can't believe this!" was all she could say.
