Chapter Two

(DPOV)

As I sprinted double speed to my house, I bumped into Gaz. Shit! I was in for a beating now! Oh God, please make her blows precise and deadly and cause me minimal pain! Oh God, please make her blows precise and deadly and cause me minimal pain! Oh God pl- Hey... what the fuck?

"Gaz, how come you aren't beating me within an inch of my life?" I questioned.

"I have better things to do than beating up a saddo like you. What retarded brother is such a pussy that he lets his little sister beat him up? Anyway, like I said, I'm busy." Gaz replied, jeering slightly.

"Doing what? Meeting your boyfriend?" I asked, jokingly.

"Well, yours actually. Gaylord." She answered, walking off in the opposite direction. Mine? What the fuck is she on about? What boyfr- Does she mean... Zim? How did she know? Anyway, he's not my boyfriend!

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" I hollered. Unfortunately she didn't hear me, or if she did I didn't get a reaction from her. On the other hand, the neighbours were looking at me like I was completely out of my mind. Well, most of them thought that anyway. What difference would it make to be gay too? Though I'm not gay... am I?

(ZPOV)

As I was finishing preparations for my PAKday tomorrow, I heard a knocking at the door. Who was it THIS time? I thought, whilst putting my discuise back on. There wasn't really any need, since it was Gaz, and she knew I was Irken. Still, I couldn't risk the neighbours seeing. I opened the door to a slightly agitated Gaz.

"Can I come in, Zim? I need to talk to you." She told me, moodily as usual. I sighed, thought about it for a second then replied, "Fine, but wipe your feet, take off your coat and shoes and don't touch anything or I'll blow you up." She laughed scorningly but did as I said. She looked around, looking a little nervous. That's not like Gaz, I thought. "Sit down if you want. Do you want anything to eat or drink?" I asked, sensing I should try and put her at ease. After all, she already seemed like she would explode from nervousnous any minute.

"Um, thanks. Could I just have something fizzy? Maybe Cola or something? Or I dont mind something Irken, as long as it won't poison me." she replied gratefully. I got out two Irken drinks (thats's Mr. Bubbles, a very popular brand of carbonated drinks on Irk), one for her and one for me. As I brought them into the front room, I caught her looking wistfully at a picture of Irk on my wall.

"You like the picture?" I asked her, startling her, "It was a gift from the Tallest" I said, smiling. Yes, this almighty gift was given to me by the tallest for my PAKday tomorrow. I couldn't resist opening it when it came yesterday. It is strict tradition not to open gifts before a PAKday, but as a gift from the Tallest was so painfully rare I couldn't help myself. I was really surprised, to tell the truth. After all they'd done last year... Maybe this was a way of making it up to me.

"Yes, it's beautiful. Is that your home planet? It looks alot prettier than Earth." She sighed longingly.

"Yup. That's Irk. Here's your drink. Of course, being Irken, it is much more bubbly and fizzy than an Earth drink, but it tastes great. Be careful when you open it" I warned. Surprisingly, she managed to open it without getting froth all over her. Amazing for a first-timer. I was impressed, which is a very rare emotion for me, being an allmighty invad- Irken!

"So, Gaz, what is it you wanted to talk about then?" I asked. I did admire her bravery, coming all this way to talk. She could've used the "phone", I guess, but maybe this was more personal. She cleared her throat, looked a bit flushed and said,

(Gaz's point of view)

"What's the relationship between you and my brother?" I asked, nervously. Oh I hoped he'd say nothing, and that he hated my brother! Oh Zim... I like you so much... Please like me back. Then we could go and live on Irk and leave this stupid place behind! Now it was Zim's turn to get embarrassed.

"Y-y-your brother? T-the Dib-monkey? Uh...Um... Nothing! Of course, nothing! I don't like him! Zim loves no-one! No-one but ZIM do I love!" Zim gabbled. "Anyway, I'm not, as you humans say, "gay". I like girls! Well, Irken girls. No-one on Earth. Well there IS a girl that's on Earth that I kinda like b- Ak! I've said too much!"

"Who? Who is it? Please tell me Zim! I won't tell anyone, I swear! Cross my heart and hope to die!" I asked desperately. I had to know! It could be Tak I guess... Or it could be MEEE!

"Uhh...Ahhhh...Ummm..." Zim hesitated, "Well... I guess... I suppose it's..."

(DPOV)

Shiiiiitt! Shiiiiiiiiiiittttttt! How did Gaz know? And what the hell is she doing round Zim's? I wonder what they're doin- AHH! CANNOT... UN...THINK... :( I didn't want to imagine that! Maybe I should go round Zim's and check up on her. Make sure she hasn't beat him up. That would break my heart!

(ZPOV)

"...Y..o..u..." I trailed off. Shit! I don't love Gaz! I mean, she's OK, but I don't really love anyone! Except him...

"M-m-m-me?" Gaz stuttered, flushing as red as my shirt. Was she happy? Angry? Going to beat me up? She smiled from ear to ear and her usually closed eyes gleamed with happiness. And was she crying? Whaaaa? That doesn't add up! Why would she be crying if she's hap-

"Oh Zim! I love you too! I was so scared you'd say Tak, or Dib, or Gir, or anyone but it's me! Lets stay together forever, and we'll have babies and live on Irk and live happily ever after!" she said, as she flung herself onto me, embracing me. Her tears burned my skin but I didn't move, staying stiff as a statue. How am I suppose to end this now?

Yay! Second chapter done! I am sad because I am British so I can't go to InvaderCON 2012 next year *pout*. Wahhh! There should be an InvaderCON in England D:
