Chapter 5
Run Away!
Me: What if the Vortians find out you're coming?
Zim: Don't care!
Me: You just want to get rid of Ali don't you?
Zim: So what if I do?
Me: Read and review!
Zim's voot cruiser raced past the stars until he slowed it down. I was talking to Lavender, "Mistress? You're really worried aren't you?" I looked at the stars while I talked to her, and I knew Zim was listening, "Well, of course I'm worried. He's my only friend, and I'll do anything to get him back." Zim turned around and looked at me, I pretended not to notice. "To tell the truth, both of the Tallest treat me more like a little sister than a friend, they don't even take my height into account." I started to cry, "Why did this have to happen?" Lavender sat next to me, "Don't cry mistress. We'll find him." I turned to Lavender, "Thanks for making me feel better Lavender."
Zim turned back around, "How do you know it was the Vortians anyway?" I looked at Zim, "I was able to communicate with Purple and he told me what happened. I hope he's still okay." Zim looked at the screen, "Is someone following us?" I went over and looked, "It looks like four or five ships." I looked out the window and my eyes went wide, "Zim! It's the Vortians! They must know!" Zim turned to me, "Are you sure?" I looked back, "Zim, those are Vortian ships! We have to lose them." Zim turned to the controls, "Hold on!" He boosted the speed of his voot cruiser and the Vortian ships started firing. We took a hit and the voot cruiser shook. "Zim we have to get out of their line of fire." He didn't listen, "We'll be fine!" I went flying back as he picked up sped. We took another hit, "Zim, one more hit and we're done for!" Then I saw all the ships charge up a shot all at once, " Zim! Listen to me, we have to get out of here now." He didn't listen and all five of the Vortian ships fired at once. All I saw was a flash and that was it.
"Ali? Ali, you alright?" I woke up and saw Zim with a worried look on his face. I got up, "My head hurts." Zim helped me get up, "It should after what happened." I looked around, we crashed on a planet that was nothing but swamp. "Oh, great." Then I looked at the voot cruiser, it was a wreak, "Tell me this isn't happening!" Zim looked at me, I couldn't help but yell at him, "I can't believe this! Zim you have to get the voot cruiser fixed right now!" Zim got an angry look on his face, "I don't take orders from you Ali!" I balled my fists in anger, "It doesn't matter who you take orders from, Zim! You don't listen to me anyway, and now we're stuck on this swampy planet!" Zim just yelled, "And I suppose it's my fault?" Just like at the academy, never wanting to take the blame, "If you just listened to me this wouldn't have happened!" I pointed at the voot cruiser. "Fine, Ali! I'll fix it!" I glared at him, "You better." Then I walked off so Zim couldn't see me. I leaned against a tree and cried, "Zim is such a jerk. I'm starting to wonder if I should have even asked him." I grabbed my locket and held it tightly. "Purple I need to talk to you."
My locket started to glow and Purple was in front of me. "Ali, I was wondering when you would call. Where are you?" I shrugged, "No idea. Some type of swampy planet." He thought for a second, "Is the whole planet just a swamp?" I shook my head, "I think so." Then Purple got worried, "Ali, you have to get off that planet." I stared at him, "Why?" He looked at me, "The creatures on that planet are dangerous, you have to get off that planet before they find you." He looked to his left, "There coming back. Ali, I have to go, remember get off that planet." Then he disappeared and my locket stopped glowing. "Right!"
I ran back to Zim, "Zim!" He turned around, "What?" I ran up to him and caught my breath, "We need to be careful until the voot cruiser is fixed. I just uh…. saw something out there." Zim looked at me, "What was it?" I just sighed, "Zim, I'll help you fix the voot cruiser, we need to get off this planet." He turned around and started to fix the engine, "If you want to help, don't bother me." I looked down, "Alright, and Zim?" He didn't look at me, "What?" I looked at him, "I'm sorry I yelled at you." Then he looked at me, "I'm sorry too." I smiled and let him work on the voot cruiser. I was sure to keep an eye out for danger.
Me: They finally get along.
Zim: I guess Ali is really worried.
Me: She just needs you to get along with her.
Zim: Sure.
Me: Please review!.
