The news showed a helicopter hovering over the backyard showing the space ships remands. It was also zooming inside her house windows as reporters from every network scrambled to all of the windows. " OH CRAP!" Gaz yelled as the reporters began to break down the door seeking an interview with who ever lived inside the house. "CRAP!" Gaz yelled again as she ran to every window locking them and shutting the curtains. She sprinted to the back door and front door making sure they were locked. "AAAAHHHHHH!WERE GOING TO DIE! YYYYAAAAAAAAAAA!" Gir yelled happily scared. "QUIET GIR! Where not going to die!...Right?"Zim asked Gaz. Gaz responded but looked away as she did "Not on my watch."

"But you have no watch."Zim said confused. Gaz sighed "Just, never mind Zim" She turned to the windows and looked behind the curtins and saw people were approaching from the outside she turned back to Zim and Gir who were starting to panic as well, she immediately said " Go upstairs and hide anywhere where people can't find you!" They both ran upstairs with a rushed speed as Gaz went to her room to get something. She got what a stranger would have said dolls when she knew exactly what they were, killing robots. She ran back down stairs with as many as she could carry. She was about to activate and unleash them on the unwanted guests when her father ran inside.

Zim's POV

'They are coming after me!' I thought to myself as I hide in an odd shallow hole with a textile cloth surrounding it.(bath tub) I clench Gir tightly so he wouldn't make a sound if anyone came close to his hiding spot. 'What am I going to do?! Once they find me...I suddenly had version of myself in a tube with red liquid as they prepare to dissect me. Then I had a vision of me as the begin to cut my brains out. My last vision was of these humans casing unspeakable torture and pain to get every word out of me about the plan and my species. Until I pass out with fear. When I woke up I still had a tight grasp of Gir still making sure he hadn't made a sound during my unconscious state. I look around still nothing change that Gaz-human is still hold them back. 'Wow' I thought, ' those human came at great numbers and the Gaz had still held them back... Wow' I thought again. But my back was staring to ache from stiffness ' how long have I stayed in here ?'I perceived.

Gaz's POV

My father was sitting on the couch across from where i was sitting trying to get an explanation out of me. He said he came as soon as her heard the news. I tried to stay as calm as I could without having to looking aflutter. Of corse I was anxious to see if Zim and Gir where safe. But I had to get rid of my father first I thought. But my thoughts were interrupted when my father said uneasily " why didn't you tell me what happened daughter?"

Me quick to answer responded " I have no idea what happened."

He tried to respond by saying " But there could be a dangerous alien out there and how could you not see a smoking space ship outside?"

I answered "well i was distracted by my video games ya know,"

"but i thought you already beatin all your video games daughter?"

'since when has he known so much about my life" i thought but replied "well ya but also..." i almost gagged saying this "dollys and dresses and you know girl stuff" I forced a smile.

Membrane agitated replied " well.. I guess I'll case off the reporters then. I'll just make something up. but you should know there taking that thing outside to be experimented on. To see if it really is from space."

I sighed in relief until I realized they would be taking the last of what Zim had. Her dad asked " why did you stack your dolls in front of the door they wouldn't hold the crowd of reporters back you know?"

"well dad I was... Ummm... Going to.. You know how us girls are with... Dolls and.. What not." I said sheepishly forcing myself to smile innocently.

" Well of corse then, daughter you continue with that what not stuff as I continue with the wonderful world of SCIENCE. And hopefully you can get your brother into something other than paranormal studies." My dad said before leaving.

I sighed in relief but not completely because I still needed to find Zim and Gir and figure out how I'm going to tell Zim about the spaceship's remains. But I had to wait until my father had ran everyone if the property first, if not in can go by him and catch Zim. So I had to wait restlessly wait until then. But my nails clawed in to the sofa with every passing second I couldn't see Zim, what if someone got upstairs somehow and got Zim or what if when I see Zim someone runs inside and tries to do something to him? I began to grind my teeth at the very thought but I began to wonder why I felt do much pain at the thought of someone tacking Zim away from me. 'Why do I feel so... So... Worried about Zim it's not like he feels the same way. Right? I mean... Well... He.. Me.. Us?" My thought were disrupted when I looked out at the covered window and I pondered if everyone left yet. So I made my way to the window moving the red-violet curtain enough to take a look outside. My muscles relaxed a bit as I saw no one was there and could no longer here the helicopter. As soon as I saw the cost was clear I ran upstairs looking for Zim... And um Gir too.

Zim's POV

I suddenly heard footsteps coming upstairs. I keep hearing them come closer and closer. Gir tried licking my hand so I would let go but I was too focus on the approaching enemy. I began to relax a little as the stranger could not locate the Mighty Zim. 'The stranger seemed to look every where for Zim but I the great Zim had an amazing hiding spot and that no earth-monkey can discover the mighty Zi-' my thoughts were interrupted by a silhouetted figure that I saw through this textile cloth. 'It...it found me!' My thoughts were racing at this thought and being discovered the visions of being dissected rapidly went through my mind, it felt like those visions went on for hours which might have only been seconds.

I tighten my grip on Gir. Making feel more uncomfortable as he started to struggle to get out of my grip but I couldn't let him go, my thoughts too focused on the silhouette. Maybe if I call for Gaz she could help? I figured, but quickly dismissed it for the powerful Zim can take care of himself, but then again the Gaz-human saved Zim before, then she is strong and if someone could get passed Gaz then, then...' My thoughts were interrupted again as the figure extended its arm and was pulling back the cloth.

"O-oh no" I whispered to myself I reacted instincts and jumped toward the figure. It had a small yell as tackled it down. Gir screamed and laughed at the same time and ran down stairs probably looking for Gaz. I began to punch and kick thought the cloth that was still over the mysterious intruder. I only mange to get in a good punch though before it through me of it and pinned me to the ground. Stadddling me. It was still covered with the cloth so I couldn't see it. But it still mange to punch me hard in the gut and on the chin before I took off the cloth to see the intruder's face. I removed it and saw it was just Gaz. Gaz's eyes opened widely as she saw it was me.

"Gaz!" I yelled.

"Zim?" She said almost sounding like a question.

"What are you doing? Why did you attack the Glorious ZZZIIIMMMM!?" I yelled questioning her.

"What!? You attacked me and I was defending myself. Why did YOU attack me ?" She protested

"I was defending myself I could not know if an intruder had entered and I refuse to be captured and dissected by human beasties."I shouted

"We'll.. It's your fault you tackled me to the ground so I fought back."she averred sternly.

"Yes but... You...I...Zim..." I could not get a good word in because I was thinking about it and noticed she was still sitting over me. Her hands were pinning my arms and she sat on top of my siggily spooch, her head over mine our faces just inches away. "You know your still sitting on top of Zim." I said cockling. I was hoping she would continue to argue with me, she is a lot more fun when she is mad.

Yet her face was not hiding the reaction It just turned a dark red and her eyes widened again. She seemed as a lost for words. She quickly got up dusting her self off looking away as she helped me up, she murmured "sorry" softly as she continued to look away. There was a silence for a while as she continued to look away from me trying to hide her face.

I began to break the silence "Gaz I did not mean to offended you I was just-"

"Never mind Zim it doesn't really matter right now."Gaz cut me off.

"Well then what does matter?" I questioned confused about what was being most important at the moment.

"The left overs of you ship was hauled away."

"What?"

"I'm sorry Zim there's nothing left."

There was a long moment of silence until Gaz said "Come in let's get some food." When we returned downstairs I looked around for Gir but he was gone. "Gir!" I called out. But he was no where to be found, I began to feel angered at the robot who refused to respond to me as I called for him again "GIR!" Still nothing. " I'm going to look outside." Gaz trying to assure me said. I agreed and she ran outside.

I continued to look in this house-unit searching for Gir but I couldn't find him. I was starting to worry. Gaz came inside and out the other way to the what I think it's called the 'backyard'. I kept calling out for Gir but couldn't find him where did the idiotic robot go off to now I thought to myself. Gaz came back inside looking all sad like. She spoke up and said in a sad tone "I couldn't find Gir outside I think he ran off." I sighed and went to a chair and sat down.i couldn't believe it Gir ran off he usually doesn't do that. Gaz sat next to me and put a hand on my should and asked in a consoling tone "You know we can look for him in the morning, it's getting too late to search for him now."

I nodded but I put my hand on my face so she would not be sadden by my disappointed face. She set a bowl of liquefy nourishment in front of me, she must have went to make food without me noticing. I looked at the stemming bowl of what I believe was soup although it was pink with purple chunks of who knows what. But I was just to disappointed to ask what it was so I just ate it. It was surprising good. I looked up at Gaz who was eating a stack of differ foods with one hand. I finally spoke up to ask what it was but she said it was called a 'sand-which' even thought it doesn't contain witches or sand, bizarre humans.

I asked her what I was eating and she said she just poured corn syrup in a blow and threw in a bunch of sugar and what I believed was called 'candy' and she melted it all in her 'micro-wave'. There was another long moment of silence. She said it was getting late and she was going to bed in her siblings began to walk upstairs. But I stopped her.

I said " Gaz-person, um..Zim would feel more comfortable if... You rested in the same quarters as Zim." My skin immediately darken after those words escaped my lips. Her face darkened color as well and agreed. But she refused to be sleeping in the ground and I refused to leave the comfort of the square or 'bed' as she said. So we came to an agreement, of our sleeping arraignments.

Gaz rested on the bed as I did the night before and I was on the opposite side where her feet the edge and met my back, as well did mine. She rested rather quickly but then again she has been spending all of the day insuring Zim's protection and comfort. I still wondered why though.

But I kept the same thought with me as I began to rest myself. 'Where is Gir?'
