Chapter 4 Are We Leaving Yet?

Me: Okay this chapter took a while but it's finally up for everyone to read.

Zim: Only two people actually review the story.

Me: It's better than no reviews.

Zim: Yeah sure.

Me: Any way, I decided to add a song I found online, just to let you know now, a few chapters in the future will include songs. Read and review!

I woke up at the sound of a high pitched squeak in the middle of the night. I opened my eyes slightly and saw a purple.. thing floating in the air. "What are you supposed to be?" I said as I got up rubbing my eyes. It looked at my locket, "Squee!" I stared at it, "Is squeak all you can do?" Then Zim finally came down from working on his voot cruiser. "Were you up there all night?" He looked at me, he was obviously exhausted , "I see you've met Minimoose." I looked at him, "Minimoose?" Zim walked over, "I created him. He watches the house while I'm gone when Gir isn't around and he helps out when he can." I continued to look at Minimoose, "He's cute." Then I yawned and laid down to go back to sleep. Zim sat on the couch to think about anything he might be forgetting, but ended up falling asleep himself.

I woke up and found Zim sleeping right next to me. I got up and smiled. I decided to sit outside until he woke up. I put on my disguise and quietly went outside. I took out my locket and opened it, another image played. It was the time I broke my arm, I smiled as the image played.

(in the locket)

I was sitting next to Purple after breaking my arm, I never told him it was because of a dare. Purple was hugging me and I started humming. "What are you humming, Ali?" I looked up at him, "Just a song that I know. You heard it once too. It's called 'My Best Friend.' It's my favorite song." He smiled and we just started singing the song together.

He's my best friend best of all best friends

Do you have a best friend too?

He tickles in my tummy he's so yummy yummy

Hey you should get a best friend too!

Hey there baby can I see you smile?

I'm going to a party and it's gonna be wild.

Can I come, am I sitting alone?

No, friends are never alone.

That's right!

Maybe some pretty girls are in your row

Excuse me, I could also be your girl

Lately, everyone is making fun

Na, na, na, na, na. Na, na ,na ,na, na, na.

He's my best friend best of all best friends

Do you have a best friend too?

He tickles in my tummy he's so yummy yummy

Hey, you should get a best friend too!

We laughed and the image stopped playing.

I closed my locket and realized I was crying. I wiped my eyes and I heard someone. "Ali? Right?" I looked up and saw it was Dib, "Yeah." He looked at me, "What are you doing this early? It's 6:00." I got up, "Why are you out at 6:00?" He smiled, "Zim probably told you my intentions. I thought I'd get an early start on exposing him today." I looked down, "Oh. Well, I guess I just couldn't go back to sleep." Dib looked at me, "You okay? You look a little depressed." I faked a smile, I'm fine." He shrugged, "Okay. So being Zims friend you must be an alien too." I looked at him, "So?" He raised an eyebrow, "So you admit it?" I turned away, I don't really care whether you know or not." He turned me back around to face him, "so you wouldn't mind showing me what you really look like then?" I really didn't care so I dropped my disguise. Dib was surprised, "You're actually doing this freely?" I frowned, "I don't really care." He smirked, "Really? You're not worried I'll expose you?" I put my disguise back on and turned away from him, "I've got bigger things to worry about. I'm only trying to save my best friend and I'm here to ask Zim for help." Dib turned me to face him again, like Zim, he was taller than me, "Why don't you tell me about it, Ali." He said with a smile. I decided to ignore what Zim told me before and told Dib the whole story.

I waved with a computer under my arm as Dib walked away, "Good luck, Ali! Remember use that computer to call me if you need more help." I smiled, Okay, thanks!" I clutched the computer to my chest and went back inside. Zim was finally waking up. I smiled as I got rid of my disguise. "Sleep well, Zim?" He stretched and the only thing he said was, "Come on." He went to the elevator and looked at me, "Are we going or not?" I was so happy to finally be leaving I ran over with a big smile. As we went up on the elevator, Zim called down, "Minimoose watch the house while we're gone!" I heard Minimoose respond, "Skwee!" When we reached the top, I saw Gir and Lavender were already in the voot cruiser, Zim got in, "Come on, Ali." I looked at him, "Are you sure we should use your voot cruiser, it's an old model you know." He glared at me, "Do you want to do this or not?" I sighed and got in, then we took off. As we flew away I saw Dib watching us leave sitting on the roof of his house.

Me: I think Dib likes Ali.

Dib: What? She's an alien?

Me: So?

Dib: I don't fall in love with aliens.

Me: I didn't say you did.

(Dib blushes)

Me: Hmm…Anyway, please review!.
