Here is the last chapter of this story, but there's more to come later!.
Disclaimer: I, Elana Vital, do not own any of the terms or characters from the Invader Zim TV show. I will however claim the characters of Bobby and Sally Bledsoe as my own.
Bobby sat uncomfortably in his silver cruiser, sipping a can of nitro glycerine. He'd been traveling for three whole months already, and was beginning to get alittle stir-crazy.
"If I don't get off this thing and stretch my legs soon, I'll go insane!" he said aloud, tugging his antennae with frustration. He gazed out of the cruiser window again, so very tired of staring at stars that never seem to move even though he was traveling almost at the speed of sound. Just then, he squinted hig big, red eyes, pressing his nose against the freezing cold glass...It was a single green orb, floating like a huge granny apple in space.
"Oh thank god! A planet!! Yee-haw!!!! OOF!-" He junped with excitement, bumping his head on the roof of the cruiser.
" Ouch...ugghhh...Baby! Analyze the approaching planet's atmosphere!" he cried out, rubbing his bruised head.
"Analyzing...Atmospheric conditions are stable...atmospheric pressure withstandable...Air, breathable. Inhabitants, energy sources, civilization...Water percentage...25 percent..." came the smooth, female voice.
"Yesssss!" sighed Bobby, relaxing into his chair. "Baby, prepare ship to enter planet's atmoshpere."
"Negative...There are computer intellegence program signals coming from the most heavily civilized regions. Weapons are detected...Atmosphereic entry is prohibited without permission."
"Oh, okay. Then communicate with foreign computer intellegence requesting permission to land", said Bobby.
"One moment please...Interfacing...Request has been sent successfully...One moment please...Incoming transmission..." Baby said.
An holographic image appeared before Bobby, causing him to yelp. The head of a strange looking creature with five eyes, two noses, and blue fur all over it's face hovered right in front of Bobby's nose.
"Hello stranger! Welcome to planet Flooschnik!" it said.
Bobby frowned. He didn't have the proper resources to install holographic transmissions on the cruiser, so he's have to just send back an audio response. Oh well.
"Uhhh...h-hello there," he said into his microphone nervously. He had never spoken to another alien before, and was beginning to feel alittle self-conscious. "Um...I'm just a traveler passing through here, and I was really really tired, so I wanted to rest a bit here...at Flooschnik...If that's alright, I mean."
"What's your name, Traveler? Where are you from?"
"My name's Bobb-er-uh-Robert," he stammered. He always felt the nickname his mom gave him was alittle babyish. Hi full name sounded more distinguished, he thought. "I'm from the planet Earth."
"Hmmmm...Never heard of 'Earth' before...Oh well. Welcome, Bobberuhrobert from the planet Earth. Come on down, make yourself at home!"
"Wow! Thanks!" said Bobby. Hey! There Flooschnikians are really friendly! he thought.
Bobby gently eased the throttle as he landed the cruiser. He stepped out, looking at the terrain before him. It was a desert of green sand, and far off in the distance he could make out a green-blue mountain range. The sky was a bright yellow, and there seemed to be two suns.
"Coooool..." he murmured. He stretched out his long arms and legs, alittle wobbly from his trip. He did a few jumping jacks to get the blood flowing, then a few cartwheels just for good measure. Then he did a little bit of exploring. There wasn't much to be seen, except more green desert, so he returned to his ship.
Laying out the big fuzzy blue and orange checkered blanket his grandma from Florida had knitted him, he strectched out contentedly under the shade of his cruiser for a nice little snooze.
"Wake up, Irken slime!" a gravelly voice said, startling Bobby awake. He rubbed his eyes and blinked to see himself surrounded by big blue furry creatures with mulitple eyes and noses. They all had a series of what looked like ray guns pointed at his head. He sat bolt upright.
"Whoah!" He cried, throwing his hands up in surrender, "Who-what-why-w-what-"
"Get up, you lying, filthy Invader !" one of the Flooschnikians said.
Bobby scrambled to his feet. "I-Invader? What are you talking about?"
"Don't play dumb, you disgusting green monster! We know why you're here!"
When Bobby stood up to his full height of eight feet two inches, the Flooschnikians took a half step back.
"Stand your ground, soldiers! Stand your ground!" the leader of them said, poising his gun for action. "Ohhh, so you're a big one are you? Makes no difference to us, Invader Bobberuhrobert of the dispicable planet Irken Armada. You'll bleed green either way!"
"B-B-But wait! Why? What did I do?" Bobby asked.
For an answer, the Flooschnikians began blasting away at him with yellow lasers. Quickly dodging, Bobby dove head first and blasted off, shouting, "Baby! We're under attack! Get us outta here quick!!"
The silver cruiser shot up into the air, the Flooschnikians running after on foot, shooting at it as it zoomed away.
"What was that all about?" Bobby panted, checking behind the cruiser to see if he was being persued...
Well, that's it for the first volume of this story. I've got to get back on the road again, so I'll start Volume 2 once I get back to Florida in about a week or two. Hope you guys liked it!
