Yay! Good Reviews! I'm happy now. And a little hyper. Well here's the 2nd Chapter to IDOF: Pursuit

of Happiness. Cookies for who guesses right on the narrator! Hint: She is on my profile. And if this is a

bad chapter my Co-Creator went on strike.

A Typical School Day (Narrator)

Ah yes, after last weeks little spat, School is starting up with their new teacher Mr. Ill. Well they call

him that it's Mr. Illinois, but he is a portly man that always seems to have a cold so that name stuck. I

can't remember a single time that guy wasn't sneezing. Dib is still obsessed with exposing Zim, now

even more so after last weeks spat. In other words Zim is still clueless, Tak is still sad, Dib is still OCD,

Helena is still...Helena.

Zim

"He's an alien! I'm telling you!" Dib yelled. I rolled my eyes, this was getting very old. Unlike him in

the worm suit. "Dib, stop it. We're at peace with them now" Helena said. "Well space boy you made it

clear you were still trying to take over Earth last week, so what's your plan?" Dib asked. "I plan to kill

you after this day is over" I hissed. "I'll join you!" Tak said. I nodded. "Dib don't pick fights" Helena

said. "Well what about those lasers you used on me last week?" Dib asked. I grabbed his coat and

started to tighten my claws grip on it. Dib started to cringe. "Listen Dib-Worm just because we're

enemies, doesn't mean I don't like a good joke." I hissed and pushed him back. "My arm!" Dib yelled.

"Zim! You hurt another student!" Mr. Ill said wheezing. "See! He has claws! Is that human?" Dib

asked. "Ah, yes... Uh... My uncle uh..." I said trying to think of an excuse. Dang! That's almost

undeniable. "No he doesn't" Tak hissed her eyes flashing. "Zim to the Prin-Prin-Principal!" Mr. Ill said

coughing. Growling I obeyed, such a pity to be brought down to this level, I should be ruling! My mind

drifted to Tak, Well at least you aren't thinking anything or else the real you might come out and shoot

you. Why did they do that? I shook it off. I was outside the Principals office. I decided now might be

a nice time to see if GIR blew up my base. An activity that I usually accomplish during lunch, but since

it's only 1st period, I guess I'll have to do it now. "Hi Masta! You calling early!" GIR said. Mimi was

behind him. "Is the base still standing?" I asked. "Er..." GIR looked around. This worried me, he never

did that. "Don't worry Mistress's boyfriend, it's okay. GIR just blew up Computer and we're surrounded

by people" Mimi said. "What?!" I asked. "Told you it would work" Mimi said to GIR, they appeared to

clap hands. "It's okay, the base is still standing. Just a little joke" I glared. "By the way where are you?

That isn't the lunch hall" Mimi asked. I was about to say something when Tak caught my eye again.

"Tak?" I asked. "Er... Let's just say Dib tried to accuse me." Tak said. "Hi mistress!" Mimi said. "Hi

Mastas Girlfriend!" GIR said waving. We rolled our eyes. I just stopped paying attention to anyone that

said that now. Unless it's a sentient life. Or my Computer, or GIR. Okay so I'm having problems

ignoring that. My eyes looked to Tak she sat there happily now with her own transmissioner talking to

Mimi. She looked up, and laughed. "What?" I asked a little harshly. She whispered into the phone.

I'm alright with her talking to Helena, I usually don't care about what they talk about. It's the only

thing the Dib-Worm and I have in common. But when she's talking about me to her SIR unit and I can't

hear, I'm concerned. "What are you saying about me?" I asked. "Theys talking girly bout you!" GIR

said. "What are they saying?" I asked. Irk, this was like taking food to a Blumbee and expecting to

survive. "Theys sayin yous cute! And I's cute!" Tak and Mimi gasped. Mimi tackled GIR to the ground.

I took this as a warning and dodged the oncoming doom. "Ow!" Tak cried as she hit the wall. "What

was that about?" I asked. "Your SIR unit's lying! It's defective!" She argued, before stopping and

treating the injury on her head. Yes. Yes he is! There is NOTHING between you and Tak! Absolutely

nothing! Just Friends. "Of course he was Tak, did you honestly think I'd believe GIR? Although you

and Mimi attacking him makes it more plausible" I said. Good, Zim. You haven't changed a bit. Still

have your old brain with you. GIR wouldn't tell you the truth. I sighed. "But maybe I want to change"

Later after 3 detentions and 5 awards. (Tak)

The bell rang. After making sure my Pak wasn't damaged we left. I can't remember, but I think Zim

said something that insulted himself. Just a mishearing though. I started to walk out. The clouds were

darker. I think I heard growling, but I'm not sure. "Zim are you coming?" I asked turning around. He

stood by the awning of the School staring. "Zim will you stop it?" I asked. He blinked and looked at

me. As if looking for words. "Tak, come back here." He ordered. "No!" I hissed. "Tak! Come back

here right now!" He ordered as if I were a smeet. Something fell down. Odd... Then another and it

eventually started falling everywhere. It started to burn. "Ow! Zim what is this stuff?!" I said trying

not to scream. He now looked like he was debating what to do. I started to scream from the pain. He

blinked back. He put his finger out and pulled it back. He must have a pretty high tolerance of pain.

I tripped on a stone and fell down.

Unconscious.

Rain (Zim)

I gasped as Tak fell. "What's wrong Zim? Afraid of a little water?" Dib asked. Helena followed, like

Gaz used to. You only need yourself Zim. Let Tak die and you can take over this Dirt-ball alone "Shut

up." I muttered. I hate this voice! Every since Tisvana started training to be Tallest this voice plagued

me. I sighed on my decision. I took a step out. "Zim? That stuff is lethal to you what are you doing?"

Helena asked. I glared was it honestly raining too hard to see Tak's body? What are you doing? Turn

around! Don't die for Her! You only need yourself! This is inferior Human Emotions! The voice

screamed. "They aren't so inferior" I muttered in an argument. Yes they ARE! "I don't have another

reason to, live. I'm an Exile." I muttered. No! You aren't! You're Zim! "A defect" But- "And Tak's

friend" I hissed. The voice was quiet. You...You're weak! You're just like those humans! "No. I'm not.

I'm just stronger than you!" I muttered louder. The burning got worse. My voice was silent. I was not

about to scream, not right now anyway. Maybe when I get Tak home I'll scream bloody murder for

these 7 minutes I'm going to take. 3 to pick her up 5 to get home. I got on my Pak legs so I'd have

more energy in my arms. I got her up. "Irk! How can she be so heavy?" I asked. I knew that she would

die if I took the time to get home. When I can barely see her face. I went under the tree and sat her

down. Slightly twitching I looked at her, peaceful. The voice inside my head was quiet. Surprised I

didn't scream yet I sat down next to her. The rain started to lighten up. Sighing in relief I noticed Tak's

Pak was reanimating her. "Huh?" She asked. I smiled, my fake hair drooping down in my face. And not

a doubt in my mind I looked like I was attacked by a blumbee. "I thought I was dead." She muttered. I

grinned. "No, you weren't, if I hadn't seen you fall you would have" I said. "Irk, this rain? You walked

out to save me?" She asked. I nodded. "I didn't think you would do that for anybody." She muttered. I

grinned. "Neither did I" I muttered looking away, although I'm not completely aware of what's going

on with my arms right now, I might possibly be picking away the flesh now peeling off. "Hey! Zim!

You survived! I wondered where you went when you disappeared." Helena said running by me. I

nodded. "Thanks for saving my life Zim." Tak said standing up. "It was nothing!" I half-lied. It was a

lot of things, perhaps me showing weakness, but overall strength. I don't know this time after The

Tallest incident has been confusing. I noticed Tak was blushing, I kind of followed and looked away.

"Hey Tak, are you in any condition to take your way home?" I asked. She shook her head. "I think it

would be better if we walked home together today, I mean what if it rains again?" I asked. She nodded

and got up.

"Always on Friday"

Helena added that last part and guess who we meet in 4 chapters? A relative of Helena. So guess, and

I'm glad when my Co-creator went on strike she at least left me the next chapters storyboard. So Read

and Review!
