Hikari: Arg, I have trouble writing long things. Isn't that right?
Zim: BE SILENCE!!
Hikari:…Ya know…ugh, never mind.
Zim: HIKARI OWNS ME NOT!!!
Hikari: Many thanks to MadeUpFigment, I'm gonna do stuffs!
Gir spotted Zim and Anna rushing out the door, hand in hand. A strange emotion sprung somewhere inside of him. Hmm. Zim called it "Jelly"…. what is this Jelly? It made Gir angry. Zim always took Gir out for pizza. Not stupid Anna.
"NOOO! I need pizza! Wait for me!" Gir screamed, running after them. The door slammed shut and hit Gir in the face. Falling back on the ground, he saw Tim run over.
"Is you okay, Gir?" Gir sat up and touched his face. To his surprise, his eyes were wet.
"Why are you cwying, Gir?"
"…Zim is my friend. Not hers." Gir stalked off into his room, leaving behind his moose. Tim gasped. Gir never leaves his moose. He grabbed it and ran after Gir.
"Your moose!"
Gir dismissed the child with a wave of his metal hand.
"Why does it matter? It was a gift from Zim, who obviously doesn't care about me anymore."
Tim dropped the squeekie toy. As Gir closed his bedroom door, he ran out to find his sister.
"Anna! Where are you? GIR'S CRAZY!!"
Anna and Zim were just on their way
back to his house when Anna spotted Tim running to her, sobbing.
"GIR DOESN'T WANT HIS MOOSE!"
He ran into his sister's arms, crying like crazy.
"What's up?"
Tim looked up at her with his shiny brown eyes.
"Gir thinks that Zim is…" At that very moment, a huge truck passed by, honking its huge horn very loudly, covering Tim's tiny voice.
Anna ruffled his hair.
"Gir is just crazy."
"That's the point! He doesn't want his moose!"
"Why don't we go back to Zim's house and sleep? It looks like you really need it."
Back at Zim's house, Anna had skipped TV with Tim and decided to go into Zim's labs to explore. A bit taller than Zim, she had to duck to get through some of his doors. She walked past a mirror. She stopped and backed up, looking right back at the person in the glass. She had dark green eyes, slight bangs, and looked half Asian. Her face was spotted with freckles. Behind that happy face, something worrisome was screaming to get out. Anna tore herself away from her shame, looking for something else to occupy her boredom. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a strange glowing object. She rushed over to investigate. It was giving off strange radiation. Not the bad kind, but one to make oneself feel sad. But within the sadness, another emotion came about. Anger. What is wrong with her father? Why would he go and abandon two helpless children with such a person? One was only a newborn baby, and the horrible woman tried to kick them on the streets. Anna of course was thinking of the lady who had dropped them off here. It didn't matter where she was, as long as Anna didn't have to see her. Most of the time she was drunk, and forced her daughter to make supper and clean the house. But of course, the mother loved Tim and would treat him non-aggressively, unlike his sister.
As Anna picked up the strange tennis ball sized object, she heard a door opening behind her. She slid the ball in her pocket and turned to face the person. There was Zim, head tilted in curiosity.
"What are you doing near my latest experiment?"
Anna felt a sweat drop fall to her feet.
"I was…um…adjusting a few minor faults. See…I…um…"
Zim shrugged and walked out of the room. He called over his shoulder,
"Gir is locked up in his room and won't come out. Can you help me?"
Anna nodded and put on her red hoodie, covering her dull shoulder length hair. She stepped into the elevator with Zim and lurched forward as it sprang upwards. When she came out of the can, she saw Zim coming out of the toilet. They walked through the hallway in silence. Was Zim sensing the waves of sadness coming from the ball? Or was he just thinking? Anna thought the walk would never end. As they reached Gir's door, they saw Tim sitting on the floor. When they approached, he looked up and whispered,
"Anna, we have to leave."
