Chapter 3
Gir's Cookies
Dib groaned as he awoke. Blinking sleepily for a moment, his fingers fumbled around for his glasses. After putting them on, he glanced around, not really recalling anything.
Suddenly, he remembered.
"No! Oh god, no! Why didn't I fight back against Zim? So what if he had a gun. Now he has Gaz... and I... am going to betray the human race..." Then Dib did something he'd not done since the night his mother died, years before. He cried.
He cried for the loss of the human race, which, despite their initial ignorance of life, he'd liked; he cried for his mom and dad; he cried for Gaz, who he believed was lost; but mostly he cried for the overwhelming depression he now felt. The not-so-little ex-paranormal investigator decided he had two options: betray the rest of the humans - lose the respect for himself that he had build up - and find his sister eventually, or... suicide.

Gaz woke up in pretty much the same manner her brother had, minus the groping around for glasses. Rubbing her eyes instead, she took a moment to look around. Right away she realized something was horrifically wrong.
First of all, she was in a pitch black room. Also incorrect was the lack of Dib anywhere in sight. And the third thing she noticed was... two bright blue eyes staring right at her.
Now, Gaz was not one to be easily frightened, but if your world was taken over by aliens, you were forced to live underground, and your brother was the number 1 human wanted by the invaders wouldn't that make you slightly paranoid and a little scared? For some of you, more than others, but we digress.
The purple-haired teen let out a sharp breath as she stared right back at the glowing eyes. She could see them moving towards her... slowly... ever so slowly...
"HIII!" It shouted as it attached... whatever it was to Gaz's head. "I liikkkees you! Do you remember me?"
She blinked. And as light flooded the room (much to her relief, though she didn't show it) she saw that the thing on her head was none other than Zim's insane robot, Gir.
"Yes, I remember you," Gaz said, pulling him off her head. "You're Gir, right?"
The little SIR unit nodded happily, hugging her. "I am sooo glad! I likes you a lot!"
"That's great," Gaz managed to get out, "now stop hugging me so I can breathe."
"Okeedokee!" Gir replied, and let go. "Master says you'll be staying here now. I can't wait to make waffles with you!"
"Maybe some other time, Gir," a new voice said. "Now, Gaz and I need to talk."
The girl spun around - only to come face-to-face with her brother's archenemy.
"Zim," she seethed, glaring her most ferocious glare into his very being. But it had no effect on him.
"Yes, my name is cool. But on to more important things. You are my prisoner and shall remain such until you die, which will be never after I inject a serum into you. Be honored; most humans are used for either testing or personal servants, if you get my meaning." Zim ended his "speech" with a hard look at Gaz. "There is no way to escape, little Gaz. There are eyes watching all the time. I have you trapped." He laughed darkly. "And this time, there are no escape pods."

No, Dib decided fiercely. I can't give up hope. I will find Gaz and Zim, I will keep the earth safe, and I will NOT betray anybody! Having made up his mind, Dib wiped his eyes and stood up.
"Be wary, Zim," he whispered to the wind. "I'm coming for you. And you will die."
Heading for home, he grabbed some important equipment and headed out.

As Zim left the room, still laughing in that sadistic way, Gaz shuddered and turned to Gir. The robot looked up at her with those innocent cyan colored orbs. She cracked a tiny, itsy-bitsy smile at him, filled with lost hope. But, being Gir, he translated it into a reason to... do something fun with her, like bake cookies. So, dragging her off to a kitchen, he tried to do just that.
"No. I refuse. I will not make any cookies. Absolutely not!" Gaz growled. Gir continued to give her a puppy dog face. She sighed. "Okay, just... stop giving me that face."
"Yay!" Gir shouted, jumping onto the counter and reaching into the pantry. Throwing some moldy cheese over his shoulder, he snatched a packet of chocolate chips and some flour. Going through some other drawers and cupboards, he found the rest of the ingredients necessary for cookie baking. He plopped them on a counter in front of Gaz.
"I have to warn you, Gir. I haven't made cookies in a very long time," she said to the SIR unit. "You'll have to help me."
"Suuuree thing, Gazzy!" he hummed off-key as he added all the ingredients together in a big bowl. Gaz winced at the improper use of her name, but decided to let it slide. The stupid little robot was irresistible.
"Um... I don't think you're supposed to do that..." she told Gir as the insane metal machine added 2 eggs to the batter without even cracking them.
"Waaahhhooo!" he cried, utterly ignoring Gaz's advice. She shrugged and turned away from the mixer, waiting...

BOOM!
Gaz turned around, an shook with silent laughter at the sight. Gir was covered in goo, his wide eyes blinking rapidly in confusion. Somehow, he had managed to make the whole thing blow up, so that the entire room was covered in the same substance he was.
A rather alarmed alien burst into the room. It looked around, and said, "What the hell happened here?"
Gir, by this point, was rolling on the floor laughing at his antics, and Gaz fought the slight urge to join him. "He tried making cookies. But they exploded."
The newcomer turned to Gir. "What have you been told about baking? Does Tallest Zim need to know of this?"
Gir gasped and shook his head. "Master is scary sometimes! I don't wanna see him mad at me again! Don't tell master, pleeeeese?"
"Sure, whatever," the alien replied. Turning to Gaz, it said, "Hello, human. I'm Skoodge, who are you?"
"I'm Gaz," she replied curtly. Skoodge paled (or got a lighter color of green) and backed away from her slowly.
"You're... Zim's female, aren't you?" he asked quickly.
"I belong to nobody," Gaz growled, boring holes into his head with her eyes. "Does he have you believing some sort of messed up fantasy?"
"Um... that is... he told us all..." Skoodge was fidgeting madly, pulling at his uniform. "He told us all that you were his property and that no one was to go near you and that if we were caught anywhere near you we would be executed or sentenced to slavery ourselves," he finally spilled.
Gaz went white with rage. "He told you WHAT?"
"Don't make me repeat that, please," Skoodge whined, but Gaz paid no attention to that.
"Where is he?" she asked in a dangerously scary voice.
"Um... in his lab, I think."
"Which is on what floor?"
Again, the small alien was twitching madly. "I-I'm not high e-enough to give out that k-kind of information," he stuttered.
If it were possible, Gaz's face got even more menacing. "I don't care," she replied darkly, "tell me or you will suffer horribly."
"Okay!" Gir said in a joyful voice. "If Gazzy wants master, Gazzy will get master!" He walked over to Gaz, grabbed her hand, and lead her to the door. "Don't worry, Mista Skoodge, I'll take Gazzy to master! All safe an' sound, too!"
Skoodge wiped his forehead, which had broken out into sweat. "Good, because I don't want to be there when she gets there and sees what we have going on..."

Hey, this turned out longer than expected... and now I feel like baking cookies.
