Chapter 2
Not For You
The blood pounded painfully in Dib's head as he slowly regained conciseness. He cracked his eyes open but quickly shut them when he was temporarily blinded. He growled, his body aching,
"What happened...?" He hissed.
"Before or after you tried to kill yourself?" Dib jumped. He rolled over to face the voice but, because of his temporary blindness, didn't notice the edge of his laying surface, and crashed to the ground.
"Ow..." He wined, rubbing his sore, bare shoulder---
Wait... He slowly opened an eye, looking down at himself. Chest bandaged, wrists bandaged, back bandaged, and sitting in his boxers on the cold metal floor. He panicked, sliding back against the metal table he fell from, and pulled his knees to his chest,
"What did you do!"
"Besides save you from your premature and icy death? Nothing." Dib glared, shifting his sore body. "You might want to rest more, since you can't even perform a task as easy as standing up." A soft, evil laugh echoed through the room.
Damn... How'd he know?
"Why don't you get off the ground and get some more sleep. I'll kill you after that." With that, Zim hoped off of his hovering chair and began walking out. Dib glared after him, fighting to stand.
"Do you need help?" Zim asked, not turning around.
"No..." Dib moaned, straining more to get his legs underneath him.
He tried like that for ten minutes before collapsing to the ground in a feverish state, gasping for breath. He shut his eyes, trying to stop the tears of pain from streaming down his face. A soft tug on his arm caused him to look over. There stood that defective robot, smiling broadly,
"Hi!" Dib quirked an eyebrow,
"Hi?" GIR giggled manacle before hugging Dib tightly,
"I love you!" More giggles, "Master's happy when you're around!" A huge grin and even more giggling. Dib stared at the little robot,
"Yeah. Happy he gets the chance to destroy me." GIR's smile didn't waver as he curled up in Dib's lap,
"Dis reminds me of a TV show I sawz! It was about this short green alien who was sent to Earth by his rulers just because he kept messing up their plans and they didn't like him to much andtheywereabundoleofwoodandtheyhatedhimbecausehewasshortandwhenhegottoearthhemetaboyworthyofhisrivalryanddeyfoughtandfoughtand..." Light breathing escaped Dib's mouth as he slipped back into sleep.
"G'night Big-headed boy!" GIR squeaked before falling asleep on Dib's lap.
That ending is WAY different then my original one. In the original, Zim never left and helped Dib into bed... AW! I like this ending better, though. Box of noodles to the first one to guess the TV show GIR was describing.
