After Lunch
Or
What happened at the Tether Court
Disclaimer: Hmm, do I really need to write one every time? I don't own Zim or any Zim related stuff…or anything Nny-ish...or I feel sick stuff, as I occasionally use stuff with out realizing. The creator has a hard -bad word here- name to spell and should really change it.
Author's Name: Hahaha, funny typo.
Author's note: Thank you for R&Ring. And I changed the sub-thingy to Sci-Fi…general would have worked too but general is so general.
Another Author's note: Thank you DespondentDream! This is my first Zim fic so I aim to please. And you're right and wrong at the same time. See blow for more details!
-Start-
"You're going down Zim!" Dib yelled, smacking the Tetherball at Zim, more or less aiming for his head.
"No, it will be you who's the downing!" Zim replied, beasting the ball back, also aiming for Dib's head, which he hit. And, when you think of it, that's not very hard. (Beasting, adj.: To hit with great strength, to play really well.)
Dib's glasses flew off his face as he hit the pavement. "You can't even smack talk!" He picked up his glasses carefully, he didn't want to break them again.
Ishtar placed a one point card on the board that was tied to the gate. Gaz sat next to the card pile, handing her the points and playing her Game Slave. She's got mad crazy skills.
Dib beamed the ball back at his hated enemy. Zim jumped up, the ball spun around and hit Dib in the face again. His glasses shattered into, what he was sure, a millions of glass shards. Ishtar placed a two point card on Zim. The score was zero to two. It looked like Zim had won.
"Ha-HA! Zim is victorious." The green 'boy' cried, putting his fists on his non-existent hips triumphantly. He continued his usual evil laughter as Dib sat up, brushing the glass off of himself.
"You didn't win Zim, no. I don't need my glasses, I don't need anything. I'll defeat you with my bear hands if I have to." Dib said, standing up shakily.
"You should consider getting contacts." Ishtar said, as Gaz stood up. She walked over to the tether ball and punched it. The ball whirled around, knocking down Zim and Dib.
"You two are stupid." She said, and walked while playing her Game Slave back to school.
"Aw, are you two alright?" Ishtar asked, walking up to the post, holding the ball still. "This game is really far too dangerous for-" The bell rang and the children made their very slow way back. She held out a hand towards Zim, as to help him up.
"I don't need your help, filth-monkey." Zim sneered, grabbing her hand anyway and pulling himself up. Ishtar went quickly over to Dib, helping him up as well.
"Normal Humans say thank you when you help them." Dib snapped at Zim, who acted like he didn't hear him.
"No they don't." The girl said sadly, "I'm going to class now." Ishtar skipped off, it seemed to be that all she did was skip anywhere.
"See! Now you've upset her." Dib yelled at the alien who walked past they yelling boy like his wasn't there.
"I think it was you, and your ugly face that upset her." Zim made his own self laugh loudly, it was just that funny. Zim growled, following Zim into Skool before the doors slammed shut, locking out a few poor students to who knows what fate.
-In Class-
All the kids were situated, and a lot more talkative than in the morning, because everyone knew that Mrs Bitters was in a better mood after Lunch. No one knew why, maybe it was because she enjoyed the moans of indigestion? Well, anywho…
"And then we'll all die and shrivel up into tiny crispy burnt things." Mrs Bitters droned over the slight whispering.
"So," Zim turned around a bit to the girl who was poking him in the back of the head, "What do you want?"
"To talk to you." She replied, batting her eyelashes coyly. Zim's right eye twitched lightly in reply to her gesture. He had the feeling he was going to become physically ill.
"About what?" Zim asked, out the corner of his mouth.
"About your mission." Ishtar whispered that loud stupid kind of whisper.
Zim started to cough, it would seem he had swallowed his tongue. Ishtar raised her hand up, waving it around wildly.
"What is it, girl!" She barked, hating to be interrupted.
"Zim swallowed his tongue, can I take him to the nurse's office?" She asked, in a polite tone. Mrs Bitter's raised a grey eyebrow. (Wait, I forget...does she have eyebrows? I try not to look to close at her at times, and at others, she moves so fast.)
"He can find his own way."
"B-but what if he runs into a molester and can't scream for help?" She asked desperately.
"Not my problem." Mrs Bitters said bitterly, turning away.
"Or what if-"
"Alright, just go! And take the hall pass for both of you." Ishtar blinked as Mrs Bitters handed her a flashing bracelet.
"Zim will fill you in when he gets his tongue back, or you could leave school grounds to find out."
This is the time where Dib broke the pencil he was squeezing.
'Look at them, they think they're so clever at being disguised and stuff. I can see right though you two!" Dib thought furiously.
'But', a calmer voice said in his head, 'She was so nice to you. Not dominate the world attitude is that?'
The angry voice yelled back, 'Yeah, they're all like that at the beginning! Remember Tak?' Dib sighed, he remembered Tak. When it seemed like he'd actually make a friend with the same interests as him, they all turn out to be the thing he was interested in.
"Great, now I'm talking to myself." He said aloud, which drew the attention of Mrs Bitters.
-Meanwhile-
Ishtar pushed Zim into the girl's bathroom and stuffed him in the nearest stall.
"What idiot swallows his tongue?" She asked, Zim's answer was arm flailing.
"Okay, don't have a spazz attack." She pushed his head back the top of his head until his jaw was horizontal. Ishtar put her arm down his throat and pushed out his tongue.
"You know about the misson? ALL IS LOST!"
"You can't lose what you never had." Zim just continued to scream things like "The Dib-monkey told you!" or "All my planning, ruined!"
"No, the Dib-Money didn't tell me." She said, a good twelve minutes of yelling and it looked like he was done. "Your adorable green doggy told me all about it when I went to your house last week. One of your gnomes got me in the leg, so I had to recover."
"Severs you right, filthy human!" He retaliated.
"Don't you see, Zim? I am no human! " She cried dramatically, slipping off her red scarf that went so fetchingly with her pink sweater and blue pants.
The disguise hologram gave a flickered as Ishtar's real form was made clear to Zim.
Her skin was bubble gum pink. Her hair was, of course, the same it was in human form. Her eyes were still the same colour of blue, and just like a bugs. Her arms were unnaturally long, twice or maybe three times longer than her body. She still had her upper child feeding implement. But what was even more repulsive than the hearts that ended her antennae was that she looked Irken in all other respects.
Zim promptly turned from her and started to hurl into the toilet.
"You Irken!" She screamed, her voice was beautiful. Like angle chorus and sweet bells.
"Oh! If I had ears they'd be bleeding!" He sobbed, pulling on his antennae, falling on his knees.
"Oh, don't make me get creative swear words out. This is why you lost to us." Ishtar folded her long arms against her front.
Zim looked up from the toilet that he was holding on to in order to have a flash back.
-Flashback-
"…as Irken Invaders to be you must be aware that some races do have the upper hand when facing us. For example, there is a race a hideous creatures that make one want to projectile vomit on site. But we are still more superior , now I'll let the computer take it from here." Purple left the classroom on his floating disk.
-End flash back-
"Vomit inducing monster!" He screamed, and then vomited all over the front of her fluffy sweater.
Ishtar opened wide her mouth (Ha, very Mr Poe-ish), to show the readers that she only had two teeth like fangs and a butterfly tongue of yellow and black strips goodness.
Zim just noticed that the back of her sweater suddenly bulged. He wondered what was back there when he vomited again.
"Sorry-" He said, stopped by his regurgitation.
The little Venusian couldn't take it anymore, she turned heel and ran out of the bathroom.
On her way out, the door smashed a girl against the wall like a nasty bug against a windshield.
Zim wiped his mouth, flushing the toilet, and stood up.
"Irkens lose to no one…" His eyes widened," Wait, your disguise!" He ran after her, re-crushing the girl so her innards splattered on to the wall.
-Bell Rings-
"Ishtar!" He cried, as the hall filled with tiny human larva that so obstructed his mighty view.
"Oh well, her body on display, not mine." The mental images of her behind glass made him laugh, if half-heartedly.
"Ishtar?" Dib called, hoping she didn't blow up by going outside. He wanted to find out what she was. She could be an alien, or a vampire, or a horribly mutated bug! He thought this the whole time while Mrs Bitters gave him a 25 minutes lecture on not talking in class while the rest of the student body went ape.
Gaz shook her head, "Dad's going to freak when he finds out you broke your glasses again."
"When has Dad ever freaked?" Dib asked, walking down the stair very carefully and on to the sidewalk.
"First time for everything." His sister replied bitterly, and went back to playing the game. She turned the volume on all the way.
Dib followed the sounds of her Game Slave, silently wondering when she dug that one out of the garbage.

Fun facts about Venus (The planet)
The air pressure on Venus is 90 percent greater than earth's.
The planet moves do slowly that the gravity field hardly exists.
The volcanoes shot molten plasma
The storm clouds are green and the ground is shades of pink and purple.
Venus has no moons.
Domino Venican are what Ishtar's people are.
The wind speeds during a storm are slight but much stronger by Earth's standards. High wind speed is rare because of the slow movement of the plant.
Storms form Y and V shapes.
Maat Mons is 5.5 mi. high (9 km), the tallest volcano on Venus humanly known.
The tallest volcano is called Sky Toucher (in English). Thanks to Zim's destruction of Mars it has become active again.
The average temperature in the Spring is 867 degrees.
Venus' dense atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide and sulphur dust. It would feel denser than water to us.
