Chapter 3
The Intruder
As the clock in Ms.Bitters' classroom struck three, the skool's hallways were suddenly flooded with kids eager to get home, being Friday and all. Dib, on the other hand, stayed in Ms.Bitters' classroom in detention. He was still trembling over what happened at recess with Rogue. He hasn't said a word since then. He was thinking of how she grabed his arms from behind, and slammed him to the wall.
'I knew it! I just knew it!!' He thought still shaking. 'Rogue ISN'T normal! She's so cold, and, MAN what a grip!' He started to break out in a cold sweat. 'She doesn't have ears...the only other person around here like that is...
~Meanwhile, Zim was walking down the sidewalk going to his house, trying to think of a good way to get back at Dib for K.O.ing him at recess. "That rotten Dib." Zim said to himself. "First that disgusting human food fight, then the kickball attack." But he then smiled at the thought that Dib was in detention, he didn't know why through.
Zim finally got to his house, plotting on what to do to Dib on Monday. He seem to have already forgotten about how that new kid, Rogue kept staring at him almost all day. As he opened the door to his house, he expected to see Gir watching T.V., or running around the livingroom or something, but he wasn't there. It was unusually quiet.
"Gir?" Zim said a bit confused. "...Hmmm...COMPUTER! Locate Gir!"
The house's computer made a couple clicks and beeps and then announced, "Location: The Lab"
"WHAT?!!" I told him NOT to go down there!!" Zim yelled. "Computer! Take me down to the lab immediately!"
The computer opened an hidden elevator under Zim's feet and took him down to the underground lab. Once there, all Zim saw were rubber piggys and mooses covering the whole lab. The invader's face turned red with anger.
"GIIIIIR!!!" Zim screamed. Gir's head popped up from a huge pile of rubber toys from the corner.
"WELCOME HOME MASTER!!!" The little robot yelled, waving at him.
"GIR, what did I tell you CLEARLY before leaving this morning?!" Zim said shouted. Gir stared at his upset master for a moment.
"..........Oh! Oh! I know! I know! Ummmmmm............I forget!"
Zim growled and slapped his forehead. "I told you NOT to come into the lab! The lab is NOT a playroom for your rubber....THINGS!"
Gir's smile disappeared and tears started forming in his round, light blue metal eyes. Zim shot a look to this. He sighed and said in a little more softer tone, "Look, Gir, just don't do it again, OK?"
The little robot immediately perked up with a big smile. "OK!"
"Alright, now...," said Zim. "I want you to pick up all this mess right now." Gir saluted him, skipped over to the control panal and pressed a button, activating a huge vacuum tube on the wall. It came down and sucked up all the rubber toys up to the upper house. Gir then jumped in the tube himself and got sucked up to where all his precious rubber piggys and mooses were. Zim could hear him squealing, "WHEEEEE!" all the way up.
After that, Zim took a deep sigh, removed his Earth getup, and went right to work in the lab. He had a rough day and was looking forward for some peace and quiet.
In the house part of the base, Gir was now happily playing with two of his rubber toys, smaking them together, pretending they were kissing. (^^ *SQUEE!!*)
However, right outside the house, a lone figure stood watching Gir playing through the window. Somehow, this figure got pass all the outside security, and was getting ready to strike, at anytime.
~As night fell, Zim was still working in the lab. For the first time in a while, Gir hasn't made a pip in hours. Taking this into consideration, Zim took a short break from his work. He sat back in his chair and closed his wide red eyes. But as he began to dooze off, a sudden alarm went off, causing Zim to jump in his chair.
"WARNING! UNKNOWN INTRUDER! WARNING! UNKNOWN INTRUDER!" The computer repeated. Without any hesitation, Zim got out of his chair, wiped on his human disguise ( just incase ), and took the elevator up to the house.
'If it's DIB, oh, how sweet the payback!!' The Irkin thought as he got to the house level. But when he looked around, nothing looked disturbed. The front door wasn't opened or anything, nethier were the windows. Zim walked over to the door and opened it. No one was outside, or on the front lawn. He shut the door and thought for a moment. "...Computer, I do not see any intruder anywhere."
The house beeped a few times. "My sensors are just bearly picking up something... it's appears to be "zooming" around the base!" The computer explained.
"ZOOming??" Zim said with a werid look. He then noticed something was missing. "Wait a second! Where's Gir?"
Just then, Zim heard a very light muffled sound coming from behind the the sofa. Out came Gir, wiggling like a worm, all tied up and gagged. The little robot was able to stand up and hop to his master. He hopped up and down, trying to tell Zim something.
"GIR? What happened?!" He ripped the gag off the little SIR. "Gir, quickly, who did this to you?!"
Gir thought for a quick moment, and answered, "...I don't know."
"You don't KNOW?!" Zim said.
"I couldn't see it."
"What do you mean you couldn't SEE it?!" Zim said, getting a bit irritated. "If THIS is some kind of game..."
"I couldn't seeeeee it...", Gir said, extending his round robot eyes at Zim, "...because it was mooooving too fast!"
"Moving too fast? So there WAS a intruder!" Zim said. "Gir, did you at least see where it went?"
Before Gir could answer, the computer interrupted saying, "WARNING! THE INTRUDER'S IN THE LAB!"
"THE LAB!?!?" Zim yelled. "COMPUTER! Take me down there right now!!" The elevator appeared under Zim once again and took him down. As that happened, Gir was able to wiggle out of his bind and follow his master down to the lab.
When they got there, the lab was quiet, like no one was around. But the computer and finding Gir the way he was wasn't about to let Zim's guard down. He motioned Gir to keep quiet.
They both walked deeper into the lab. Zim's antenna slightly twitched under his wig as he tried to pick up any vibrations of any moving thing. Gir closely followed from behind. When Zim made a sudden stop, Gir bumped into him. The invader turned and made a "shhhh" sound to his SIR, and he pointed downwards. His antenna were picking up a light swift vibration coming from the lower levels of the lab. They headed for a nearby elevator that lead to those lower levels.
As they were being lowered, Zim's antenna twitched faster and faster as they got closer to the source of the movement.
The elevator stopped, and the doors opened. There was bearly any light, making it very hard to see, but Zim now knew for a fact that whoever it is that was confusing his computer's sensors was on this floor.
"Gir, activate your lights." Zim whispered. Gir saluted and turned on the flashlight beams in his eyes. The moment he did, Zim heard something moving, quite fast, from one end of the room to the other. Suddenly, the vibration stopped.
"THERE!" Zim pointed at the darkness, where the vib finally stopped. Gir looked in that direction, lighting up that area. And there stood the same figure, was one that was watching through the window earlier. Zim's eyes grew, he immediately recognized the intruder.
It was Rogue.
