Ch 17: Potato Sack!

Zim emerged from the elevator into the underground base.

"Computer!"

"Whaaaat?…" it complained.

"Everything is going according to plan Gir. At first I was worried that she would leave but now that that's settled I have time to investigate what she's hiding…Computer!"

There was no response.

"Computer!"

"yawn…what!"

"…why did my computer just yawn?"

"I was sleeping…" It groggily said.

"But…Oh never mind! Computer, I want you to run footage of the first time the jelly girl came here."

"I don't feel like it…"

"Obey Zim!"

"Fine…" A video feed of Maz's first time in Zim's house played. :

"Stop calling me that! I came here to ask if I could use your phone. I got lost and can't find my way home, and…"

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! AND TAKE YOUR EVIL JELLY WITH YOU!"

"But I don't have any jelly with me!" she protested.

"YOUR LIEING!"

"AAAAAAAAH! JUST LET ME USE THE STUPID PHONE!" Maz's eyes turned green and she glared at Zim. Girranandhid under the couch. Zim, intrigued yet horrified, handed Maz the phone. Maz turned back to normal and called a cab.

"Thanks for letting me use your phone Zim! I'll see you at school!" Maz left Zim's house.

"Did you see that Gir? There's no way any HUMAN could do that! I need to learn more about this Maz girl. I'll find out her secret!"

"Oh look, there I go scheming! Neat! Now computer, rewind it to when she gets angry."

"AAAAAAAAH! JUST LET ME USE THE STUPID PHONE!" "freeze the image!" Zim looked at the screen in awe. He was right, he did see something that day. There on the screen was Maz with green pupil less eyes and "Is that antenna?" Zim pondered aloud.

Meanwhile at Maz's house Maz and Dib were playing Soul Caliber II. Dib, who still had some marker on his face, was getting pretty frustrated because even though he picked this really cheep character with a giant stick he was still loosing. Things were starting to look up though as his character had Maz's chick in a corner and was beating the crap out of her.

"You're going down Maz!"

"Oh really?" Maz's character grabbed Dib's and threw him off the edge. "Boo ya! I win!"

"WHAT! You cheated!" Dib accused.

"How did I cheat? Face it Dib, I'm better at this then you."

Zeke was bringing the rest of his belongings into the house. "How about you get off you lazy butt, maz, and help me."

"No thank you." She answered.

"Maz, help your brother." Lep called from the other room.

"Ugh! Fine…"She grabbed a box but not before tripping Zeke who had five boxes at a time. "hehe…" Lep walked in with a book.

"Do you like to read Dib?" he asked.

"Yeah, I guess. I rarely have time to read because I'm always stopping Zim's evil plans! He's an alien you know!"

"Yeah, I know." Lep said nonchalantly.

"No really he is…What? Did you really mean that?"

"Mean what?"

"You just said…"

"You know what's a good book? The Hobbit by Tolken along with the rest of the Lord of the Rings books. It's amazing how he created a world of his own and even his own language…You should read some more. It's good for you."

"It's getting late. I gotta go home now. I'm going home Maz! See you tomorrow!"

"Ok bye!" Maz yelled back. "I'm going to bed…" She walked into her room and noticed her window was shut. "I thought I left that open…" Before she could open the window something grabbed her from behind and shoved her in a potato sack!

Ooo! A cliffy! Bwehehehehe! It's evil, no? Review please!
