Chapter 3
(DPOV)
Gaz came into the house a few hours later, surprisingly not slamming the door. I stayed in my room, finishing the last few stitches.
There! That's Zim's present done. Now I just needed to wrap it up. I soon found some shiny wrapping paper, and wrapped up the present. It was a miniature Zim doll, that I'd made myself, using old shirts and a pair of little black boots I had as a kid. I hope he liked it! Should I give it to him now or tomorrow? Eventually I decided tomorrow, as it was nearly 10 o'clock. Irkens don't sleep, so he'd still be up, but I wasn't allowed out past 9 for some infuriating reason. With nothing else to do, I logged on to my laptop and wrote some more notes on the Irken race.
(GPOV)
Zim LOVES me! I can't believe it! I'm the happiest girl alive! I'll go and see him tomorrow as well; he gets Thursdays off. Maybe he'll kiss me? Maybe I should kiss him? But I don't really know much about him or his race... Maybe he doesn't know what kissing is? Maybe it's offensive on Irk? Argh! I'm so confused! Wait a second... I bet Dib would know. He's always stalking Zim.
I barged into his room and caught him looking at photos of Zim on his laptop! Freak!
"G-g-gaz! You startled me! Don't you know you're supposed to knock before barging into my room?"
"Why are you looking at pictures of Zim? You really do like him, don't you, you stalker!"
"Of course I don't! Don't be stupid. If you must know, I'm analyzing the photos so I can create a complete picture of the Irken structure. What did you want, anyway?"
"Tell me everything you know about Irkens. Everything."
THE NEXT DAY
(ZPOV)
Yes! Today is ZIM'S AMAZING PAKDAY!
"Hi master! Here's your pre-sent!" GIR shouted, thrusting a small box into my hands. Inside a small, round object with a pin on the back. On the front was a printed design of the Irken symbol. I puzzled over it for a few seconds, then realized it was what the earthlings call a "button". I pinned it carefully onto my shirt. "Thanks GIR. I think thats the best present you've ever gotton me." I smiled at the robot for the first time ever. GIR then led me into the kitchen and on the table was the Irken dish known as Itkon, a celebratory dish eaten only on special occasions. I was surprised GIR had the skills to make such a gift, but it turns out the computer did most of the work.
A few minutes after I'd finished it, Dib knocked at the door. I reluctantly opened it, why was he here on my PAKday? It's supposed to be a joyous occasion that's not to be ruined by interfearing stink-babies.
"What do you want, Dib-monkey? I am TRYING to celebrate my PAKday!"
"May I come in Zim? I have something for you!" he said, waving the shiny parcel at me. "Don't worry, I'll take everything off and won't touch anything." I nodded and gestured at him to sit down. Once we had sat on the couch, he handed me the parcel.
"Happy PAKday! I hope you like your present. I made it myself."
I slowly opened the present, expecting there to be some sort of bomb. I was surprised to find a doll in there, that looked like me!
"You have made a tiny Zim? You have good taste. After all, anything featuring me is 100% pure awsomeness!" I said, quoting an advert. Dib laughed and said he was glad I liked it. He stayed for a while, and when he got up to leave I showed him out politely. Just as he was about to close the door, he leant towards me and... kissed me! On my mouth! Startled I closed the door quickly, my cheeks flushing blue. Why did he do that?
"Computer! For what purpose do humans "kiss" eachover?"
"Retrieving information... To show love, affection, intimacy, or occasionally to show friendship." Dib LOVED me?
Sorry! I know this is short but I'm tired :( More tomorrow I promise!
