I like random weirdness. :P
Zim stared out his window as he looked at the scene outside on the street. To even him those stink beasts didn't belong out there. They were even singing out their melancholies or misadventures. Zim even took a picture of it to send to Dib and Gaz to see what they would say about this. Dib didn't know what the hell they were, but Gaz's response was to have him record it so he did in which the males were dancing and singing around an old style car.
"Go grease lightning, you're burning up the quarter mile
(Grease lightning, go grease lightning)"
Sending it out to her, Gaz's response back was: How in the world is the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies out there?
Of course Zim had no clue what she meant so he asked her what she was talking about. Her immediate response was;
Grease. Mostly a chick flick. Not bad, but there you have them somehow in front of your base.
Zim was at a loss of what to do so he sent Gir out there to annoy them telling him that they have candy on them, and never take no for an answer. Gir screamed out loud after doing a happy dance before running in place waiting for Zim to open the door. The very second he opened the door, Gir ran out screaming, "CANDY! I WANT CANDY! GIVE ME CANDY!"
Zim of course closed the door behind him watching as the group at first tried to keep their cool until Gir jumped on top of them to rummage through their clothes for candy. Once he did that to the females they ran off screaming after trying to be nice with him, but even they had their limits with a handsy robot.
"Guess he truly isn't such a bad minion after all." Zim commented to himself. "Guess he deserves a taco."
"Sir! Call from Tak." The Computer droned at him.
Making a face, Zim guessed he should just answer it to get it over with. "Put her on up here."
Tak's image instantly appeared. "Zim, I'm curious. Have you seen anything strange going on around here?"
"I had the cast of Grease out front, but Gir scared them off. Why do you ask?"
An odd look came over Tak. "Does the name Pony Boy mean anything to you?"
"Besides it sounding stupid, no. Why?"
"I just asked Dib about it after sending him a video of what I seen on my base, and uhhhh I had The Outsiders here. All the characters too." When Tak saw the questioning look from Zim, she almost smacked her face. "It was first a book before it became a movie. According to Dib it is a good book."
"Well so far we have met some odd characters. You being number one. Though I don't think there is much to worry about." When the hell wasn't there anything odd around here? There will always be something odd around here. Zim knew this. Gaz knew this. Dib knew it. Why can't she?
"Gaz told me that was Alice having a tea party with the Mad Hatter in my base. Of course Dib thought it was just a bunch of stupid characters, but a Jabberwocky came in. Don't know where it came from, but at least we got rid of it."
Zim started laughing softly before it built up to some crazy laughter. "Oh this is rich. Oh Irk."
"What is it now, defective?" Tak glared into the screen.
"I was becoming so bored without them not being around." Doubling over with laughter, Zim loved how he was irritating Tak at the same time so that just became his bonus.
Shaking her head, Tak sneered into the screen with disgust. "You really are insane."
"Takes one to know one." Zim leveled back at her while pointing.
Walking back to his apartment, Dib stopped at the sudden feeling of being watched. It took him years to really hone in on this skill as he simple stood there as calm as could be. "Come out. I know you're there." He knew he said it in such a bored voice, but should he sound like an excited chihuahua?
"Wow. Nothing gets past him, Grim." Came a deadpanned female voice.
Dib turned around to see a blonde with a very surly expression on her face, a guy the same age as her with a big nose, and something you don't see everyday. "Gaz told me you visited her."
"She was interesting. Still is. Don't know why I used the past tense there." Grim placed a bony finger next to his mouth in thought. "Oh well."
"I think I'd look better with that hair than him, Mandy. What do you think, Grim?" Billy inquired trying to step forward, but was held back by Mandy.
"Hold it, Stupid."
Studying the odd grouping in front of him, Dib felt... Bored. He shouldn't be seeing he had the Grim Reaper in front of him, but he just felt bored. "Well this is already so fascinating even with the Gaz Mach 2 act with Mandy here, but I'd rather be off staring at my wall."
"Hold on just a second, mon. We wanted to talk to you." Grim came forward.
"Gaz Mach 2 act? I should knock your pretty head off yours shoulders." Mandy threatened with clenched fists before jerking back realizing what she just said. "Uch, did I just say that?"
"Your sister is hot!" Billy chimed in.
Oh please some white rabbit, turtle, cartoon character of any type come right now to distract him, Dib begged silently. "How about this, I will talk to the Reaper while the both of you go off somewhere's else." Dib suggested.
Walking closer, Grim nudged him with his shoulder whispering, "I get what you mean, they have been annoying me since I've met them. Been plotting their demise since then."
"Obviously with no success."
"None." Grim pouted.
Coming forward, Mandy grabbed Dib by the collar pulling him down to her eye level. "You listen and you listen well..."
Pushing her off him, Dib stepped back. "I've dealt with worse than yourself."
"From your hot sister I bet." At this time Billy pulled out a now crinkled picture of Gaz to drool over it again.
Going over to Billy, Dib snagged the picture away from him shaking his head. "She is still my sister so stop that."
"Grim! He took my picture. Tell him to give it back!" Billy begged whining.
"In this case, you won't get another picture. So behave yourself, Billy." Grim told him. "Now for the both of you, perhaps you should both leave so I can talk to him."
Crossing her arms, Mandy gave him a stony faced expression. "How about, no?"
"I thought Zim was a pain in the butt." Dib whispered to him.
Using his scythe, Grim used it to quickly grab Dib to bring him elsewhere far from his so-called friends. "There! No more of that headache."
"What is that girls problem?"
"Oh the list is long. Also she is just plain evil." Smile quirking up on his face, Grim wanted to poke him, but held off. "She has a little crush on you."
Holding his hands up to stop him, Dib was adamant when he said, "No thanks. I already have an ex-Invader as a girlfriend. I think I my dance card is filled with her for the rest of my life, thank you very much."
"Mandy wants to rule the world."
"Yeah, I heard. So tell me why you wanted to speak to me." Dib started to feel boredom set in again.
"You think your sister and yourself would like to visit the Underworld with me? That girl has something special. I actually did offer this to her with an extended invite to her boyfriend, but she turned me down when I went to visit her."
"What was her reason?"
"She said been there, done that, bored, and moved on. Her exact words." Grim replied.
Dib smiled. "Not surprised if she has visited there before. So why me?"
Getting on his knees, Grim pleaded at him. "Those children have been driving me crazy. Mandy is smart, but she is evil. Billy, Billy is nice, but a dolt. I talked to someone and they said if someone else wins me over them I don't have to be at their beck and call anymore. I feel you both wouldn't torture me like they do most of the time. Oh please help me."
The Agent of Death is begging him? When the hell did his life become strange? Before he could respond he saw his phone coming to life. Seeing it was from Gaz, he answered it immediately, "You won't believe this Gaz..."
"Well I might." Gaz said back to him. "Though will you believe I have giant robots fighting outside. They aren't near my apartment building, but I do have a good view of them. Saw them transform from cars to big robots."
"You serious? Gaz, get out of there." Dib forgot about Grim. "Did you call, Zim at least?"
Scoffing at that, her response back was, "I am not calling my boyfriend for help, Dib. I just thought I'd tell you."
"Ok then, the Grim Reaper wants us to take over as his buddies just so he can get rid of his appendages." Dib informed her getting a snicker from Grim.
"Ugh no. I mean why? He can't just touch someone plainly and then they drop dead like they say in books and stuff. Nope, he has to wait when their time is coming. Pfft boring." Watching her cup fall from one of the vibrations in the ground from the fighting outside, she frowned.
"I gotta love your morbid sense of humor."
"Zim enjoys it a lot."
"Hard to enjoy it if your dead from that fighting." Dib pointed out.
"Whiner. Look I'm gonna hang up, I just thought I'd tell you." Clicking her phone off, she watched with fascination as they shot their weapons at one another.
Grim started to speak again, when Dib held his finger up stopping him. Calling Zim, he wasn't surprised at his response.
"WHAT? Who dares disturb the amazing Zim?"
Rolling his eyes, Dib stomped his foot into the ground. "Zim it's Dib. Could you go to Gaz's. There is a huge robot fight outside her apartment building. She isn't worried, but..."
"Oh! Zim will be right there. No one will hurt his Gaz-mate."
Getting a dial tone, Dib looked at Grim. "That's my life. You really want us to join you?"
Picking his finger with his scythe, Grim shook his head. "I'm going to have to think about it now." Groaning, he did the same thing as before bringing them back in front of an angry Mandy and a clueless Billy. "I'll be in touch."
"Good luck to you." Dib waved him off turning back in the direction of his place when a massive Dodo bird came crossing his path. "Did someone slip me some peyote without me noticing?"
Meanwhile at Gaz's place to say she wasn't surprised to see Zim was an understatement. Dib obviously called him. Shaking her head, she climbed into the Voot next to him, and allowed him to fly her far away from the fighting though she did have fun tackling him to the ground after he landed someplace secluded. Perhaps it was a benefit that he did come that night, she thought.
