The last chapter…

This chapter may be extremely short...

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Invader Zim or any of the songs…and smart person would see that.

Chapter 12: A Valentine Gift.

Ember was sitting on the couch. Gir was sitting next to her and they were both watching the Angry Monkey Show.

Gir had just gotten back from getting a Suck Monkey. He had offered to get Ember one, but she refused.

Now they were patiently waiting for Zim to get home from skool. It was Friday, and that meant he had the whole weekend to hang out with Ember and Gir.

Now that she was better and was no longer plagued by horrific nightmares and shadow figures lurking in the corners of her room, Ember was looking forward to it. For now, she just sat there and tried to tune out Gir's annoying slurping sounds.

The sound of the door opening was heard.

Zim stood in the door way; he appeared to be holding something behind his back. A something that was not cooperating and was wiggling, trying to get free.

"Ember…" Zim said. He tried to keep whatever it was out of her sight.

Gir squealed and turned on the radio.

A song that really fit the mood began to play.

Earth angel, earth angel
Will you be mine?

Ember looked over at Zim.

"Yeah?" She asked. She moved her head from side to side, trying to see what was behind Zim's back.

My darling dear,
Love you all the time.
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love...
With you

Earth angel, earth angel
The one I adore,

"Well…I'm not sure if you know…But Valentine's Day was a few days ago. So…I thought I'd get you something…" Zim said between struggles.

Love you forever,
And ever more

"It was?! I'm sorry Zim…I forgot."

"It's…okay. I didn't expect you to remember."

I'm just a fool,
A fool in love
With you.

"Zim, you didn't have to get me anything." Ember sat up.

"I wanted to…" Zim was still struggling. He turned his head to look back at the squirming thing he was trying to keep a good grip on.

I fell for you,
And I knew
The vision of your loveliness
I hoped and I prayed
That someday,
I'd be the vision
Of your happiness

"But…I didn't get anything for you." Ember looked down. She felt a wave of guilt pass through her.

Earth angel, earth angel,
Please be mine
My darling dear,
Love you all the time
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love
With you

"It's okay." Zim was about to say something else, when the thing he was holding began to squirm and wiggle out of his grip.

I fell for you,
And I knew
The vision of your loveliness

I hope and I pray
That someday,
I'd be the vision
Of your happiness

"Okay…Okay! Calm down!" Zim quietly said to whatever he was holding.

Ember looked up. She smiled and stood as Zim brought out whatever he was holding.

Gir sat there. He continued to drink his Suck Monkey while paying close attention to Zim and Ember. Almost like they were a part of a romantic and extremely good movie.

Earth angel, earth angel
Please be mine
My darling dear,
Love you all the time
I'm just a fool,
A fool in love...

Ember's smile grew as Zim calmly sat his surprise to her down on the ground in front of him.

With you.

"Happy…late Valentine's Day Ember." Zim said. He smiled when he saw the happy expression on Ember's face.

Ember smiled as it began to run up to her.

What did Zim get Ember? You'll just have to wait for the next story….aren't I terrible?

As I said…this chapter was very very short. It didn't really take me very long to type it up… But, it was a good jump start for the next story, which should begin in a few days.
