A/n: I'm sorry I've been m.i.a. but my life kinda caught on fire... Not literally. But between that surgery, school, figure skating, and taking care of sick people... I've felt REALLY crappy, and unfortunately, it shows in this chapter. One more thing before you read this. To the people that sent me hate mail, That made me very depressed! I couldn't write because I felt HORRIBLE! Please stop! So with that... On with the show

Chapter 10

Out of Snax

Deep inside Zim's lair, Gir is playing with his crazy taco hat when Zim bursts out of the toilet. "Gir! I need snax!... So... Hungry!" Zim looked down at his little minion.

"You ate them all last week!" Gir grinned as he went back to his previous activity. Zim was horrified. He would have to find some human food that he could eat.

"GIR!"

"Yes master?" Gir's blue eyes flashed red for a moment before returning to normal.

"I need you to go to the human FILTH store and buy me something that won't make me SICK!" Gir saluted once more before running out the door giggling like a madman.

'It's been a while since I've called the tallest...' Zim thought as he flushed himself into his labs.

Meanwhile at Kalli's house, she was packing up to go to Sri Lanka. She had just about finished when she heard the doorbell.

"Dammit! Who is that?" She ran to the door. Upon opening it Gir sprinted in and raided her refrigerator. Before Kalli could protest, Gir was gone and her fridge was empty.

"I guess I'm going grocery shopping when I get back." Kalli finished packing and called a taxi.

Zim looked at the screen waiting for the tallest to answer his transmission when Gir came down bearing waffles and other "tasty" treats. Zim was quite wary of the strange foods, but he recognized the waffles and began to eat.

"What do you want Zim?" Red and Purple did not look very intrested until they noticed that Zim was eating.

"Hey" Purple nudged a daydreaming Red. When he got his comrade's attention, he continued, "What's Zim eating?" Red focused on the screen.

"How should I know?" Zim took another large bite out of his waffles before telling the tallest his reason for calling.

"I have run out of snax so I will begin to test what human foods I can eat..." Zim bit into his last waffle.

"Why are you telling us this?" Red asked. Zim shrugged.

"Listen Zim, we'd love to stay and watch you eat, but we have to go do... stuff... yeah, well bye!" Zim stared blankly at the screen for a while before realizing that the tallest were gone. He went up to the house level to retrieve some more waffles when a news story came on Gir's TV.

"A young boy was arrested for possession of drugs. When police came to take him into custody, he injured both of the officers. The boy, who calls himself "Drake", will be faced with drug charges and will most likely receive jail time." Zim's mouth hung open in both horror and despair. Gir changed the channel and started to drool when the Krazy Taco commercial came on.

A/n Sorry it took me SO long to get this crappy chapter out... I feel like a failure... The next few chapters should be a little better. Also, I ask you again, PLEASE don't send me hate e-mails! They make me very sad and instead of speeding me up, as intended, it makes me not feel like writing... B-bye
