Okay, I don't know this chapter is kind of weird I guess? I'm hoping that the next chapter will be better. Anyways, I still hope you enjoy reading.
The next morning I woke up and did my daily morning routine. I was surprised, however, to see Josh already awake and eating breakfast when I cam downstairs. "Oh, I didn't think anyone would be up." I said in surprise, Josh looked up at me and smiled.
"Well I decided that if we were going to hang out today I should wake up early, like you." Josh replied. I smiled and grabbed a bowl and some cereal. I sat down and ate my breakfast with Josh. "I called around a bit and I found a gig for us today." Josh said suddenly, I almost choked on my cereal.
"Oh my gosh, um okay I guess. I didn't think we'd perform at all while we're here. My friends don't even know that I perform." I said, distressed.
"What? Oh come on, we're getting payed pretty good for it." he added.
"... okay fine." I said, standing up and washing my dishes. I took Josh's as well and walked over towards the door. "Alright, let's head out then. When is the gig anyways?" I asked.
"At 1." Josh replied.
"Oh, so we have like 3 hours? Alright, well let's go!" I said, opening the door. I nearly bumped into someone as I walked outside though. "Eep!" I squeaked, backing up a bit and looking up to see Dib. "Dib!" I said excitedly, tackling him into a hug.
"Katie, jeez you've become quite affectionate." Dib said with a laugh as he hugged me back.
"I can't help it, I missed you and I just get excited every time I see you." I said. "Have you seen Zim yet today?" I asked.
"No, he's probably doing something evil and alien in his lab." Dib replied.
"Oh, yeah. Well this is my friend Josh." I said, moving so that they could shake hands. "Josh, this is Dib a.k.a. Big head." I added with a smirk.
"Ha ha, you're hilarious." Dib said sarcastically.
"I know, I'm a comic genius." I replied, touching his nose and then skipping past him. "Let's go get Zim so I can hang out with all of my boys at the same time." I sang out excitedly, nearly running towards Zim's house. However, I was surprised to see Zim already coming out of the house and walking towards me. "Zim!" I squealed with excitement, crashing into him and hugging him.
"Kat-Human?" Zim sounded confused but hugged me back.
"Of course silly, who else would hug you like that?" I asked with a laugh. "Okay, come on you're going to hang out with me, Dib and Josh today." I said, taking his hand and heading back towards Dib and Josh who I had left behind when I ran to Zim's house.
"You're quite bossy you know, minions can't boss around their masters." Zim said nonchalantly.
"Oh shut up, you... you... Irken." I replied in an attempt to insult him. We then got back to Josh and Dib. "Okay guys, let's go get pizza and ice cream. So you can all get to know each other." I said happily. I walked down the street talking on and on about random things and keeping hold of Zim's hand the whole time. When we got to the pizza shop we got a table together and ordered some pizza.
"Ah, my four boys. This is great, all of us together. Except I need to run to the ladies' room really quick. No one eat my pizza while I'm gone." I warned, getting up and heading towards the restroom. I concluded my business and came out just in time for the pizza. I headed back to the table and sat back down. Zim and Dib exchanged some kind of look as I did so, but I didn't really think much of it.
We all ate our pizza and I blabbered on for a long time telling Josh about Zim and Dib, and Zim and Dib about Josh. We were there for a while until Josh looked at his watch. "Wow, we should probably get going if we want to get to that gig." he said.
"Oh yeah... the gig." I said awkwardly, Zim and Dib looked at me in confusion.
"Gig?" Dib asked.
"Heh... I forgot to tell you guys that I perform now." I replied innocently.
"We're coming to watch." Dib replied automatically.
"Please no, oh my gosh that's embarrassing. You guys are going to be weird about it." I whined, but Dib simply stood up and threw away his trash.
"It's already decided." he said with a shrug.
"Yes, it will be interesting to see this Kat-Human." Zim said smugly.
"I hate you guys." I muttered, walking out of the place with Josh. Zim and Dib followed behind us. "What song are we doing?" I asked Josh.
"What song do you want to do?" he asked.
"Hm... I think we should do Dance, Dance. I like that one." I replied.
"I know you do."
"I'm nervous."
"You're always nervous before a gig. When the music starts you always get into it." Josh said with a laugh. It was true, I tended to get very into the music.
When we got to the place, it was some kind of club I guess, we went inside and headed into the back while Zim and Dib got seats. Josh and I did some stretching to get ready for the performance. Then some people helps us put on those microphones that stay in your ear so you can move around. After a few minutes a man came in and told us we were up. Out onto the stage we went, it was pitch black. I got into position and waited for the music to start, my heart was beating so hard I could feel it.
When the music started I suddenly lost all my nervousness, I put my heart into singing and dancing it out with Josh. I fell comfortably into step with him and we put on quite a performance to where we were both pretty sweaty by the end. We bowed and headed backstage to take our equipment off and get our pay. Then we headed out towards the exit and were greeted by many compliments from the audience, then I saw Zim and Dib who both had stupid smirks on their faces. I stomped over to them.
"Don't look at me like that you freaks." I pouted and crossed my arms.
"What? I was just going to say it was good and you looked amazing up there!" Dib said. I didn't move from my position.
"I don't understand this stupid pig-human performance stuff..." Zim said dismissively. "But, you were pretty good even for Irken standards, Kat-Human." Zim said, quietly. I couldn't help it, he broke my stubborn demeanor and I hugged them both tightly.
"Ugh you losers, now you know my secret. I never planned on telling you guys. It's a different side of me, very physical." I said in a defeated tone.
"You're very good at it." Dib replied. Josh had come over to join us now.
"We were pretty good up there." he said to me, I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, they might invite us back again." I said. "Well I'm tired. Let's head home, I need to rest for a bit." I turned to Zim and Dib. "Come with me?" I pleaded.
"I can't say no to that face." Dib said with a laugh. I turned to Zim with hopeful eyes and inched closer towards he.
"I have no choice, do I Kat-Human?" he asked.
"Nope!" I said with a huge grin, and I swear I saw him give a small smile too. "Also, you have to carry me." I added.
"Oh please, what kind of slave are you?" Zim said back.
"One that you do favors for." I replied, walking towards him. He sighed in defeat, bending down a bit so I could climb onto his back. "This brings back memories, huh?" I asked, turning my head and leaning it against the back of Zim's. We walked back to my house and we all went inside.
"You guys hungry?" I asked.
"Yep."
"Yeah."
"Mhm."
"What do you want to eat? I can make grilled cheese." I offered. I head a collective response of okay. I made us all some grilled cheese and we all ate it together at the table.
"I'm going to go change really quick." Josh said when he finished. Dib and Zim both watched until he was out of the room, then they exchanged a look and turned to me.
"Josh is kinda... strange." Dib said to me.
"What? What do you mean by that?" I asked, a bit offended.
"Well... at the pizza place when you went to the bathroom, he threatened Zim and I." he said.
"What? Oh come on, Josh wouldn't do that. He's a sweetheart. I know you guys are kind of jealous but I still love you both." I said.
"I'm serious, tell her Zim!" Dib said, sounding upset now.
"Kat-Human, he's a human filth pig." Zim said.
"Um, you say that about everyone." I said, not convinced. "Guys, Josh is very important to me. He's my partner and close friend. I don't appreciate this." I said disapprovingly. Dib opened his mouth to say more but Josh came back into the room.
"Let's go watch some tv." I said, deciding I'd like to forget about the conversation we just had. We all headed into the living room. We only had one couch in there, so Josh, Dib and Zim all sat down and I looked at them. Then I decided to lay down across the three of them, my head in Zim's lap and my feet in Josh's lap. I turned on the tv and browsed through the channels until I found something decent to watch. However I must have fallen asleep and when I woke up, I was simply laying on the couch.
"Hm, I wonder where they went." I said, sitting up and rubbing my eyes. However, I was so tired I decided to just head upstairs to bed. "I'll see them tomorrow." I said as I laid down and fell asleep again.
Alright well I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's dumb. So um next chapter will be better I hope? o.o Review, if you want.
