Reviews! They make me happy and such!
FallenAngel1331: I knew you'd be the first (and second) reviewer. XB Thanks for the comments. I wasn't sure if I was making Zim abit over the top. And to be honest, that was the first thing I thought when I was asking myself "How would an Irken go about killing himself?" With water of course! D
And another thing, if anybody wants pictures of Kira or the little surprise I have for later, let me know by email or review and I'll send them. Make sure I have a place to send them!
Another note, my disclaimer is on the other
pages. I won't be posting it anymore.
So here's some more for you. READ ON CHILDREN OF DOOM!
Zim woke up next morning; his eyes were still red from the night before. He rubbed them and looked around the room. He smelled Gir's attempts at making waffles and sighed, walking into the kitchen. "Gir, what have I told you about cooking while I'm sleeping?" Zim asked with annoyance, still rubbing his eyes. Gir looked up from the waffle iron.
"I dunno!" Gir cried out. The waffles he was making were beginning to burn. Zim quickly unplugged the waffle iron and took a waffle, which was still hot.
"GREAT IRK!" he cursed, dropping it and waving his arm around in the air like a madman. Tears were streaming down his face now, as his hand was already burnt from the water the day before. "What's the use? I'm going to skool…" he told himself, still dejected. He shoved the contacts in his eyes and threw his wig on, ignoring the pain in his eyes. He lazily pushed the door open and headed to skool.
When he got there, he completely ignored Kira's death glare, Dib's look of shock, and Mrs. Bitters's look of annoyance.
"Nice of you to join us, Zim…" Mrs. Bitters hissed. Zim looked up at her with a look of disregard. She went on to lecture how doomed the planet was. When the bell rang for lunch, Zim was the first one out of the room, making sure he was ahead of Kira. Dib caught up with him.
"Why did you come?" Dib asked curiously, his eyebrow raising.
"It's become routine, Dib…besides, I have nothing else to do now…" Zim remarked in a tone unlike his normal confident voice.
"Well…maybe I can cheer you up a bit…" Dib remarked, thrusting a book and a queer device into Zim's chest. "Kira dropped these…make anything of them?"
"This is a genetic breakdown modulator…most Irkens have them…it shows the user what a subject is made up of…" Zim remarked in a matter of fact tone. "And this is a filthy Earth book on Genetics and Mythology."
"Odd combo for a book…" Dib remarked. Zim shrugged and gave the stuff back to Dib, pitifully walking over to his own table. Dib flipped through a few pages and glanced at the device. Realization struck as he saw a bookmark. "Zim, wait! I know what she's planning!" But Zim had already sat down. Dib ran over and put the stuff down, opening the book to a page labeled 'dragons and what you should know'. "Zim, she's going to try and create a dragon! There's nothing in our military to withstand that!" The Irken looked at the page with a bright look on his face.
"The ability to fly, diamond-hard scales, and the ability to breathe fire! What a creature!" Zim said with a gasp. "This is what I mean…Kira is much smarter then me…I could never come up with something as brilliant." Dib growled and smacked Zim in the back of the head.
"Look, you have a right to be upset, but right now, you need to stop thinking about yourself!" Dib snapped angrily. Zim didn't react to the chastisement; he simply sighed and poked at the food on his plate. Dib suddenly felt guilty but he shook it off. "You need to help me figure out a way to sabotage her plan!" Zim sighed and looked at Dib.
"Very well…" he remarked. "I would send Gir, but he would be too obvious…could you…what's the term you Earthlings use…'bug' her with one of your devices?" Dib's eyes widened and he smacked himself in the head.
"I'm such an idiot! Why didn't I think of that in the first place?" Dib asked himself.
"Because I am superior, little Dib stink," Zim remarked with a smirk. Dib glared at him.
"Easy on the insults, we're supposed to be on the same side now," Dib growled.
"As I said before, Earth scum, it doesn't mean I have to like you," Zim retorted. Dib shook his head.
"Whatever, I'll get on it tonight…but I'll have to improvise," Dib remarked, reaching towards Zim's pack.
"What are you doing?" Zim growled in astonishment, recoiling when Dib got to close. Without responding, Dib wrestled him to the ground and pulled something extremely small off the top of it. "What is that?" he demanded.
"I said I had to improvise, didn't I?" Dib asked, smirking.
"You bugged me!" Zim cried in outrage.
"A while ago…anyway, I'll get this on Kira…but you'll need to distract her," Dib remarked. Zim suddenly looked fearful.
"Why me? Why can't you distract her and I'll bug her!" Zim demanded, punching his hand with a balled fist.
"Because she won't talk to me…I've noticed she's trying to avoid human contact…" Dib remarked. "Anyway, you get her attention after school and I'll take care of the rest…just make sure you hold it." Zim sighed in defeat and nodded.
After school Zim was outside, trying to hide his fear that they would be discovered. Kira wouldn't hesitate to expose him now that he was no longer and Irken. He paced and caught a glimpse of Kira walking out of skool, her book of genetics and mythology tucked under her arm once more. The Irken caught sight of him immediately and shot him a glare. He froze in place and took a nervous step backward but she was beside him in two seconds flat.
"Why did you even bother coming today Zim?" Kira asked, glaring. "You're up to something…and I don't appreciate being plotted against…"
"W-w-what are you talking about?" he stuttered innocently. He caught Dib sneaking up on Kira out of the corner of his eye and did his best to ignore him.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, shortie!" Kira snapped, her fists clenching. Dib was now wiring the device to Kira's PAK, causing her to twitch in pain and surprise. He had just pulled back and was about to dive into a bush, but Kira had whipped around and grabbed Dib by the collar of his trench coat, causing his to sputter in surprise. "I KNEW IT!" she snapped angrily, shaking Dib in mid-air. He started kicking and punching while still being held, trying to get free. Zim glared at Kira.
"Put him down!" Zim snapped angrily, causing both Kira's and Dib's eyes to widen. Suddenly Kira burst out laughing, clutching her gut.
"Oh how cute! Little Zimmy found himself a life-mate!" Kira barked, still clutching her gut. "Oh, my squeedly spooch! This is simply too funny!"
"Life…mate?" Dib asked cluelessly, but Zim was positively livid with anger now.
"Oh come now, Zim, you didn't even explain your culture to him? Poor dearie…" Kira remarked, lowering Dib and stroking him on the head as if he was an animal. This caused him to growl and squirm in her grasp.
"Let go of me!" Dib snapped. Zim finally snapped.
"Kira, you invoke the wrath of ZIM!" he shrieked, diving for Kira, who was taken completely by surprise. She dropped Dib and easily pulled off Zim who was clawing at her face.
"And you invoke the wrath of an Irish lassie!" Kira shrieked back, throwing Zim into a wall with a sickening crunch. She growled and walked over to Zim, grabbing the dazed alien before he could move. "I was going to wait a wee bit to get rid of you, but I think you've lived out your uselessness." Kira raised her fist to punch Zim in the PAK, but Dib had tackled her from behind, causing her to lose balance. She bared her teeth and stood up, trying to shake him off. She couldn't use the devices inside her PAK, as there were too many humans around. She snarled in rage and dropped Zim, ripping Dib off her back. "You, filthy Earthling, tamper with powers you cannot begin to comprehend!" She tossed him into Zim and backed up, glaring evilly at the pair. "I'll deal with the two of you later…I have a planet to conquer…" The raven floating nearby landed on her shoulder, looking at Zim and Dib with bright red eyes and Kira departed without another word. The two were left glaring at the disappearing alien until she turned the corner and was out of sight.
