From Human To Irken
Chapter 7
"No..." Sara whispered.
"We'll get Gir back. We have to." Zim said. He put his arms around her. She pressed close to him.
"I'm scared..."
"I'll protect you." Zim said softly.
"We're going to get Gir back... right?"
"Whenever you're ready, we'll go."
"Okay... I'm ready..." Sara said. Zim let go of her. She had a dangerous determined look in her eyes like she could kill at any given moment. She put on an old black hoodie she had in her bag. She kept her skirt and black boots though. She put her hood up and moved her fake brown curly hair outside. She wore her eye covers too. Zim was just in his normal human disguise.
"Let's go." Sara said.
"But wait... Where would he have Gir?"
"Didn't think of that... I was just gonna wing it."
"Wing it?"
"Human term. Basically do things as you go along." Sara said.
"Eh... I do that alot... I bet Dib'd keep Gir in that warehouse but it's probably set with traps."
"Let's go then." Sara said. She opened the door and walked out. She turned.
"Coming?" She asked.
"Yeah." Zim said. He ran up to her. They walked out of the base and stayed close together. They walked out into the city and she followed Zim to the old warehouse. They climbed up the boxes and jumped in.
"Shh..." Sara whispered. She looked around. She motioned for Zim to follow her. She extended the Spider Legs from her PAK and climbed up some crates. When she got to the top she layed down. Zim followed her lead.
"I see where Gir is... Follow me and stay close." Zim whispered. He slowlly went down the crates with Sara next to him. He stepped down lightly, carefull not to make a sound. Sara did the same. Zim held Sara's hand. He led her to where Gir was.
"Sara this could be a trap," Zim whispered.
"I'm going to get Gir back." Sara said. She ran out and grabbed Gir's body. A cage was falling.
"SARA!" Zim yelled. But it was too late. Sara looked up and saw the cage hit the floor and she was trapped inside.
"Zim!" she yelped frantically. He extended the Spider Legs and ran to her. Sara was shaking. Zim tried everything to try to get the bars open. They finally shot one of the bars so much with lazers, it blasted open. Sara put Gir's body through and then Zim helped her get out.
"Stay. Close. To. Me." Zim said. She half smiled.
"So now we go?" Sara asked.
"Eh... I guess... Was it really that easy?" Zim said.
"No Zim. It's not." a voice said. They both recognized it at once.
"Dib!" they hissed.
"That's right. And I've got something planned for you two." Dib said jumping out of his hiding place. Dib pressed a button and a cage came down.
"Just a cage? That's sad Dib." Zim said.
"It's got a wall in the back." Sara said. They held back laughter. Some kind of robotic tentacle shot out and grabbed them in pulled them back against the wall. Their wrists were cuffed to the wall and so were their ankles. They were in a awkward spread out posistion.
"Should have changed the skirt..." Sara hissed.
"You'll stay there until... Well until never!" Dib said. He laughed then ran off.
"Hey, Sara, no offense, but you've been in this situation before. How do you get out?" Zim asked.
"Uhhh... I dont know. This is different... Is Gir off?"
"Looks like it."
"Okay. What is Gir's favorite song or commercial?"
"The Doom Song and... The Krazy Taco Commercial. I doubt it'll work..."
"Irkens have to have some kind of voice recognization on their robots..."
"Gir! Power on!" Zim yelled. Gir didnt move. "Nope." Zim said.
"Doom doom doom doom doom doomy doomy doomy doom..." Sara sung, trying to help.
"TACOS! WAFFLES! TAQUITOS! RUBBER PIGGIES!" Zim yelled. The robot's grey spots turned red. Then light blue.
"FLOOR MAKE ME ANOTHER SAMMICH! Hi Master! Hi Sara!" Gir said and smiled.
"Gir get us out." Zim said. Gir shot a lazer at the metal. It broke. Zim had one hand free. Then he shot the others. Zim landed on the ground.
"Now Sara." Zim said. Gir shot them and Sara fell. She fell awkwardly but Zim caught her.
"Thanks..." she said. He smiled then helped her up. Gir broke the bars to the cage and got out. Then Zim got out and he helped Sara out again. Zim took Sara's hand.
"Come with me," he said. Gir ran behind them. They wennt out the broken window and down the crates and ran all the way back to the base.
"Thank god we're here..." Sara said. She layed down on the couch. Gir was watching TV.
"I never thought I'd ever say this but, I missed that noise." Zim said.
"Same." Sara said. Zim layed on the couch by Sara.
"I love you." Sara said.
"I love you too." Zim said.
"Can we kill Dib sometime?"
"Yeah."
"Zim I have something to tell you..."
"What?"
"Im gonna try out for cheerleading."
"Cheerleading? I can see you doing that."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You'll be the hottest girl on the team. Bet you could be the leader."
"Awww! And it's captain. But still... Awww!"
"You're so pretty..."
"I dont feel that way though..."
"You look it. You're perfect. And I'm so lucky to be with you. Dib is jealous. And he has every right to be. You are strong and smart... And you have feelings. You aren't completely cold." Zim said. He leaned in. They kissed.
"I love you." Zim said.
"I love you too." Sara said.
