Okay, so yeah, a lot of reviews are starting to come in now! YAY ME! 3 Now I present to you, Chapter Seven! Here ya go!
Finally, school was out! All the kids flooded the hallways towards the door, some even jumped out the window from the class room, but they all still went on their way. Zim tried to catch up with Caline for the fifth time, but Monique wouldn't give up, she kept talking about the most ridiculous things, one conversation caught Zim's attention with fright when she mentioned boyfriends and girlfriends in one of the conversations. Monique turned around to wave to Eithen and tell him she'd meet him at home, but once she turned around Zim was gone.
Zim busted through the door, panting as hard as a dog that just ran a mile. He fell on the middle of the floor and rolled over on his back to see Caline, cross armed on the couch. Her antenna's were stiff as stone, strait up, her eyes narrowed digging deep into his. Zim jumped up on his feet and looked at her, "What?" Caline looked away towards the window, "Nothing," she said stiffly. Zim pulled her off the couch, she refused to get up for a little bit, but finally got on her feet. Once again he turned her around, her pak was even worse, "Oh Caline what happened," he asked with a tsk in his voice. She jerked her body away and turned around growling fiercely, "Your girlfriend is what happened!" Zim jolted back, "Girlfriend?"
"Monique!"
'Monique? Why would she be my girlfriend? I don't even like her!" Caline crossed her arms and looked away, Zim took a step towards her, "Look, can we fix you pak and then discuss this?" Caline would almost swear he was pleading for her life to stay, she nodded and they went down the elevator.
A few sweat drops ran down the side of Zim's face as he Zapped a ray onto Caline's pak, "This will make your pak completely numb for 24 hours, so you won't be able to use your built in ray, spider legs, or anything else for a while." Caline only bit her bottom lip and grunted, the computer's alarms rang, a computer monitor lowered near Zim alerting the doorbell. Zim grabbed his wig and eye contacts heading towards the elevator, "Be right back," he called back to her, she just looked away, "Take your time, please." Caline didn't care how stubborn she was being, she was pretty convinced that there was something between Monique and Zim.
Zim answered the door, and to his surprise, it was Monique! She pushed herself through the doorway, "Hi Zim! Guess what I got for us!" Zim frowned and narrowed his eyes, "Your one way ticket out of here?" Monique laughed, "No! Its two tickets to the circus!" Zim jumped up, "Circus?! But I'm busy!" Monique brought herself closer, "I won't take no for an answer." Zim shrank back and stumbled over, "Uh okay, lemme go get something in the basement, be right back!" Zim jumped in the trash can and was then out of sight.
Zim jumped in with only his eye contacts in, "MONIQUE WANTS ME TO DITCH YOU TO GO TO A CIRCUS!" Caline thought he sounded more excited then angry. She turned her back towards her pak which was completely pulled apart by now, but all the pieces moved by themselves back in place and levitated, connecting itself to her back. Zim's jaw dropped open, "Why did you do that," Caline crossed her arms, "Aren't you going to the circus with your girlfriend?" Zim growled, "She's not my girlfriend! She's just some crazy girl who won't leave ZIM alone!" Caline yelled back at the top of her squeedly spooch, "ZIM! HOW MUCH OF A THICK HEAD YOU GONNA HAVE?! I'm not dumb! I know a couple when I see them, Zim! I've been on this planet before and don't you forget it! I'm mostly human and know everything there is to know about being normal, and having a boyfriend or girlfriend for sure!" Zim couldn't think of an argument, she had him pinned... again. He held out an arm as if to reach out for her, "Caline..." Caline jerked herself around, her back turned, Zim couldn't see it, but she had a small tear starting to make its way out of her right eye. Zim frowned lower and took a step closer to her, "Caline-"
"Go," she interrupted him as he began to say something, Zim's arm he was still holding up slunk down, "But-" "Just go, Zim. I don't care, I don't care at all, just go!" Zim's eyes narrowed, "Maybe I will!" Caline turned around, Zim could see how many tears she was starting to cry, "GOOD!" Zim threw his wig back on his head, "ITS FINE WITH ME! I'M GOING AND YOU CAN'T STOP ME!"
"FINE THEN! GO! SEE IF I CARE!"
She jerked herself around again and tears flooded down her cheeks, she was happy that Zim couldn't see them.
Monique was sitting on a couch She took out a communicating screen and Eithen's face appeared on it, "I have Zim, he still doesn't know what's coming for him," she smiled evilly as she clenched a fist, "Now all you have to do is get the girl and we'll have to wipe Zim's mind and we're out of here." Eithen got a confused face on him, "What about Caline? Would we have to wipe her mind too?" Monique laughed, "No! Renlia only wants us to wipe Zim's mind, apparently Caline's mind will eventually be done for what Renlia has in store for her." Monique heard an elevator coming up, "Gotta go! Gain Caline's trust to capture her while I have Zim occupied at the circus," she shut off the screen and it faded away as if it were never there. Zim rose from the toilet and sighed as he stepped out of the bowl. He walked strait to the door and Monique jumped off the couch trotting after him, "So are you coming to the circus or what?" Zim spun around, "I sure am!" His voice was low and angry, you can tell by his face expression that he was stressed as well. Monique grabbed Zim's arm and started running, dragging him down the road, "Well the circus is this way! Now hurry, we don't wanna be late!"
Caline was silently sobbing to herself, "What's going on?" A light confused voice broke out behind her, "I don't know..." Caline spun around and Gir was sitting in the middle of the floor with his pig staring up at her. She remembered Zim telling her about Gir in their spare time when they were bored. How he loved tacos and pigs, she got an idea on how to cheer herself up, "Hey Gir..." Gir cocked his head, "What?" Caline smiled on how cute she thought Gir looked when he was playing with his pigs, "Do you want to go get your disguise and leash on and we can go get some tacos, or pizza?" Gir jumped up screaming like a monkey, "WEEEE-HEEE!" He jump flipped into his dog suit and Caline wiped a tear from her eye with the back of her hand. Gir squinted and raised his arms in the air as Caline hooked up the leash to the back of his neck since Gir didn't really wear a collar. She quickly went human as they stepped into the elevator. As soon as she opened the door Eithen was standing at the doorway about to knock on it, "What do you want Eithen?" Her voice lowered and her eyes narrowed. "I was wanting to know if you wanted to go get some pizza," he answered. Caline looked down at Gir, she knew his face read tacos more then pizza. "Sorry, but I was just on my way to get some tacos." Eithen frowned, "Can I come?" She heard the pleading in his voice, it reminded her of Zim, so she simply turned her head from his direction and walked out the door, "No you can't." Walking down the sidewalk determined to get rid of Eithen, he still followed, "Your not still mad at Zi-"
"Don't say his name," she snapped as he didn't finish his sentence. Eithen jogged to try and catch up, "You can't be mad at him forever," he cried. She stopped and turned around, "Watch me," she threw back and continued walking. How long is he gonna follow me, she wondered, I've got an idea! Caline stopped and knelt down by Gir, "Here Gir, this should be enough money to buy ten tacos, spend as much as you want, I'm going to have to get some chores done," she explained as she unhooked the leash and gave him a wad of money. Gir happily skipped rest the way to the Crazy Taco. Caline took a rout to the old bridge she remembered when she was a child, she would go there every time something went wrong. Eithen still followed, but Caline didn't seem to care.
At the circus, there was three men doing the high jumps while a women balanced herself on a unicycle on the high wire. Zim and Monique were in a private booth that noone could apparently see. He sat there watching, having no interest in what was going on. Monique leaned over slightly on his shoulder, "What's wrong?" Zim groaned, "Nothing." Monique frowned, "It's that girl isn't it?" Zim looked over at her, "What girl," he asked. Monique leaned back, "That girl with the half white half black shirt, you know, the one with the black and blue hair." Zim looked down, "Oh, her," his eyes focused on his feet, "We got into an argument, now she doesn't seem to care if I ditch her to do anything!" Monique put a hand on Zim's shoulder, he looked up at her. "Don't worry about her," she calmly said. "How can I not?! She's in grave danger!" Monique got a confused look. "How," she asked. Zim didn't want to expose he was an alien, so he tried to lie, "Her life support, it's half way broken and she won't be able to live any longer if I can't fix it, her blood is practically in my hands and she won't let me help." Monique laughed, "Her pain and misery will soon come to an end, Zim. So there's no need to worry." Zim looked up at her, his eyes wide open, "What do you mean?" Monique laughed harder as cuffs from the armrests of Zim's seat grabbed him and held him down tightly, "Because she'll be one of us!" Zim tried jerking his hands away, he remember the lazer cutters in his pak, but right when he was about to use them, he noticed Monique had a needle stuck in his pak and she was pushing some liquid into it. As soon as she was done, Zim couldn't move anything in his pak! He jerked and pulled but the chair's cuffs were too tight. Zim slunked back into the chair giving up. "Eithen and I were lucky that Caline was being as stubborn as she was, or else we never would have gotten this far," Monique laughed a maniac laughter that Zim couldn't stand, "What are you planning to do to her," Zim screeched. Monique shrugged, "Well I guess I could tell you, I mean after we get her we're just going to do a mind wipe on you anyway," she began, "Renlia has a top secret plan, there's this project she's been working on for months and now that Caline was found the other day, she thought the project would be perfect for the occasion." Zim's eyes narrowed in curiosity, "What's the project?" Monique smiled, "You'll find out soon enough, but you won't remember it, because as soon as Eithen contacts me, the mind wipe begins." Zim tried once again to jerk out, but gave up again, his head hung down, "What about Caline? Aren't you gonna wipe her mind?"
"No, for what Renlia has in store for her, we won't need to wipe her mind, apparently the projects going to do that for us."
"Caline," Eithen called after Caline as she ran as fast as she could to the bridge, "Eithen, go away!" Eithen ran faster and as soon as she got to the bridge Eithen grabbed her by her hair to stop her. "What do you want from me," she cried. Eithen helped her up, "I want to talk," he answered. She wiped some dirt off her knees and turned to the rushing water that hurried along the ground under the bridge. "I know your secret," Eithen started. Caline jumped back, "What secret?!" He took a step towards her, "Your Irkin, and so is Zim, its not hard to see since he has that poor disguise, and the fact that you both stay at the same base." Caline growled, "What about him? He's pretty content with Monique," she crossed her arms. "She's only trying to get to him so you'll be in the open," Eithen shouted. Oh crud I just told her part of the plan, he thought. "What do you mean? What's going on!"
"You'll find out later, for now," he took out a knife and pressed it to her neck, Caline would have brought out her wire cutters but her pak was still numb. Eithen now had her hands tied behind her back. He looked like he had a hostage at the bank, but she was a hostage for his race.
"You'll never get away with this! My pak will remember her as soon as you try and wipe it!" Zim thrusted out of his seat but Monique pushed him back down into it, "Oh we'll make sure you won't remember a thing." A beeping sound interrupted them, "Oh, that must be Eithen now," she smiled evilly and pressed a button on a remote as a large monitor lowered in front of them and Eithen's face was on it, Caline was tied to a pole in the background trying to squeal, but her mouth was taped shut. "Caline!" Zim couldn't believe it, Renlia must want Caline's help pretty bad if she would go through all this trouble to get to her. "Agent Monique," Eithen began, "I have Caline tied down, we're in the ship right now, so get over here!" Monique saluted as the monitor lifted itself back in place and out of sight. She took out a white stick and held it firmly in front of Zim's face, it flashed a flash so bright Zim's eyes went blind for a few minutes. While he was blind, Monique opened his pak and moved around a few things, "Hey what are you doing with my pak," he yelled as Monique grabbed two wires in the pak and pulled them apart. Zim's eyes shot wide open and he began to look around, "Where am is Zim? I'm suppose to be at the base right now! Who are you?!" Monique smiled and unlocked the cuffs that still held him down, Zim lifted his hands up and wiggled them as if they were brand new, "Don't worry earth child," Monique began, "You're just at a circus, your feelings are normal." Zim tilted his head, "Oookaaayy.. well I'll just go home then," he said as he walked out of the booth. Monique gave a manacle laugh as her body began to levitate and glow. As a beam ray of light shined on her, she faded in to it and it pulled her off as her manacle laughs faded off.
"Finally, we have you," Monique cheered, "This was record time! One day! Who would have thought?" Caline was struggling to get the ropes untied but they were too tight, "Ohhh poor little Irkin, she can't get the ropes loose," Monique said in a sweet voice, "lets make them tighter!" Eithen made a thumbs up motion, "Right on it!" Caline screamed in pain as Eithen tightened the ropes. Renlia's face unexpectedly appeared on the screen, "Do you have her?" Monique and Eithen rushed to the screen, "Yes," they both answered at the same time. Renlia smiled, "Perfect! Don't damage her, we need her to be alive for the project." With her antenna's picking up this that she's going to live, she gave a sigh of relief. "Renlia, what is the project?" Monique was very curious. "Oh you'll see, you two will have front row seats to see my plan in action!" Renlia began to laugh evilly as Monique and Eithen followed.
