Chapter 8 - Bye Earth, We Won't Miss You At All
We all went back to Zim's house to plan exactly how we were gonna take over the Earth, since we hadn't really thought about it until we defeated Dib. A thought went through my head. It was stupid though...well, at least Zim would think it was stupid...oh well. I'll say it anyway.
"Y'know...we don't have to dominate Earth. We could just...fall back."
"Fall back?! FALL BACK?! But I need to prove to my Tallests that I'm not a complete failure!"
"You're not a complete failure...and besides...who cares what the Tallests think? They have no right to kill you just because they don't like you...I'm going back to Irk. It would be great if you'd come back with me."
Zim sighed. "But Dib-worm..."
"He's won't bother again. You don't have to worry. Please. I beg you."
"Sorry. You'll have to go without me."
A tear dropped from my eye. I rubbed it off as quick as I could. "Fine. Rox. Go back to the house and pack it up. We're leaving."
"Ok."
Zim looked at me. "Bye." I left.
At my house...
"Is everything ready? Raziel's ready and everything?"
"Yeah. We're ready to go now."
"WAIT!"
I looked back and there was Zim, with the little drill in his hand and GIR next to him.
"I've decided...BECAUSE I WANT to...I'll go back to Irk with you."
"Want to. Pfft."
I went in my vootcruiser and Zim went in his. We went out...into space.
Outer space, Earth's galaxy...
To save some gas on both of our vootcruisers, we combined them. (We just press a button, it's really not too difficult.) Zim walked into my part of the vootcruiser, which was the driving part.
"Autopilot to Irk." I activated the autopilot so I didn't have to drive anymore. Heh.
"Autopilot activated."
I walked to where Zim was. "Rox, you can play with GIR and Razi if you want. We already went through the wormhole."
"Yay!" Rox unbuckled Razi and went to GIR. They all sat and played.
"Now. You. Come on." We both went to the back of the vootcruiser, where it was private. "The Tallests are bound to say something when you come back. They'll probably even ban you to Foodcourtia again."
"That's what I've been TRYING to tell you!"
"Shut up. But, still. Like I said, I don't care if they tell you anything. Red spoils me. A lot. So if he finds out I'm with you..."
"Then he has no choice but to let me stay."
"Exactly. But the thing is..." I was about to say the stupidest thing I've ever said in my 159 Earth years of life. "Do you really like me?"
Zim stayed there. "I...don't know how to respond to that question."
"You do, don't you?"
"I didn't say that!"
"Ha! You do! I knew it! All along! That's the only reason you went soft on me. Cuz you like me." I laughed.
"Ugh! It's...Dib-thing's fault!"
"What does Dib have to do with this?"
"Hmpf."
"Hey, I don't blame you. I..." I looked away. I turned around and got near him. I slapped him.
"I've been wanting to do that ever since I met you. Heh, but still, you look hot with a gun."
Zim crossed his arms and scowled. "I still didn't say I liked you."
"I could pretty much predict that you do."
6 months later, nearing Irk...
"Finally. Irk. I missed you so much." We landed on Irk and everyone was excited. Rox, Raziel, Zim, and even GIR. I was the first one to get out though. Well, me and Razi. I was carrying him. Mommy Tallest is gonna be so surprised. Everyone is gonna be surprised. You know why? There's something I didn't tell you.
I implanted a bomb...a huge nuclear bomb that when I set it off, everyone on Earth would become slaves. There's a special powder that makes them slaves. Oh, happy, happy. But, there's a few people that I've spared. Athena and her parents, Monei' and her parents, and Biyu and her parents. They will be the only people on Earth that aren't slaves. And, they get to rule. A token of my appreciation for being nice to me. Eh, might as well leave Dib and his family there too, Gaz is pretty cool.
"Hey Zim."
"What?"
"We still won."
Zim was confused. "What?!"
"Oh my Irk. Red! Look! It's Zo-e! And Razi!"
"No way." Mommy and Daddy Tallest looked at me and they finally realized that it was me. They ran towards me.
"Zo-e! Razi! Oh, I missed you so much!" Mommy Tallest squeezed us so hard, that I thought my eyes were popping out. I couldn't breath!
"Zo-e. You brought Zim?!"
"You know what Daddy Tallest? Yes. Yes I did."
"Why?!"
"Because...because..." The words barely slipped out of my mouth. "He's my mate."
"WHAT?!" I thought Daddy Tallest was about to eat me or something.
"It's not my fault, Daddy Tallest. Blame the Irken Control Brain for giving me the sense of love. Just like you and Mommy Tallest met."
"Control Brain, we talk later," Daddy Tallest said to himself.
Zim didn't even wanna talk. I don't blame him. If I were him, I would keep my mouth shut too.
"No fair!" said Daddy Tallest.
"All is fair in love and war."
We went past Daddy Tallest since he was freaked out. I made a house in the middle of nowhere in the plains of Irk.
"Your 'mate', huh?" Zim got the little drill that he had in his hand and put it on the floor, next to my house.
"Well? What do we do now?"
"Hmm...well, I've never seen you out of your disguise."
"Really?"
"Yup."
I did the special sequence, for the last time. Zim stayed there, just staring at me.
"Eh, don't say anything." I rubbed his antennas. He seemed to like it. "And you're not half bad either, bright-eyes."
"Y'know what I've thought ever since I met you?"
"What?"
"No, never mind, it's stupid."
I giggled. I always said everything was stupid. "Tell me."
"I've always wondered how our smeets would look like."
"Who said we were gonna have smeets?"
"That's why it's stupid."
"It's not stupid." I made the best choice I could've ever made. You really can't guess what I did? Guess. It was on the face...shows affection? GOD, if you haven't figured it out by now, you must be a loooong thinker. KISS.
"So what do we do now?"
"Come in my house," I said while I walked towards my home.
"Don't try anything funny."
"Really? This whole adventure's been funny! I mean, this must be like the most serious moment!"
We walked into our homes, and we lived there happily. Hey, you'll know more. In the next story. Heh. Zim was right. Like he always is.
Back on Earth...
The whole world was dark and red, and Gaz was happy. The Membrane family was in their torn up house in the middle of nowhere.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!" Dib came out of his room and was about to have a stroke or something.
"Me winning happened. Cough up."
Dib had his piggy bank in his hands. "You do it." Gaz grabbed the piggy bank and smashed it on the floor.
"Only $100. Eh, better than nothing. See you later, loser. DAD! I'm going to Bloaty's."
"Be back before dinner."
"Whatever." Gaz went outside and saw all the humans as slaves.
"Thank you, Zim and Zo-e."
