Zim woke up, and thankful to Gir, who untied him. He rewarded the little robot with a dollar, which he excitedly took, before running with Mimi in hand to the dollar store. Shaking his head Zim went to the kitchen to search for something he could stand to eat. After eatting waffles, he cleared his plate to find a note by the sink.
'Dear Gaz,
We are running some important errands, but should be back soon.
Zim is tied up tight on the couch so do not worry about him annoying you.
We have chocolate chip waffles in the freezer. Don't let Zim know though.
Dib and Tak'
Zim smiled in triumph. Now was the chance he had been waiting for. To get gaz alone, all to himself. He quickly put a plan together and called for Mini-Moose. Giving Mini-Moose orders to tell Gir his part he also gave him money he stole from Dib's wallet to be out all day.
Gaz stirred as she felt Spike cuddle to her. Trying to go back to sleep,she growled as Spike moved again. "Baby,what have I told you about waking me up?"
"Sorry, baby, but you can't sleep through the suprise I have." Gaz opened an eye, before shooting out of her, well someone's bed.
"What the hell, Zim?" She scowled at her surrounding. She was no longer in her room, but a dark one with no windows and a bed in the middle. It looked like a high-tech suite. Complete with black and red roses in a vase close to the door.
"Welcome to my home... Hey, where are you going?"Zim looked in surprise, as Gaz headed to the door, but found it blocked. She had a really bad feeling about this.
"How do I get out?" She hissed, crossing her arms.
"That's just it Gaz... You can't. even if you go through that door it won't do any good," Zim grinned victoriously as he pressed a button to reveal a large window. Gaz stared into the dark space, stars, and Earth ,"but this time I'm not telling you where the escape pods are."
"How'd you get past Spike? I trained her to kill anything that dares to touch me..."
"Mini-Moose took her out on a date... Horribly disgusting, isn't it?" Zim shuddered at the thought of what a moose and dinosuar-like creature would do on a date.
"Dib is gonna kick your ass, after I do. Then Tak will join." Gaz smiled at his stupidity.
"Dib and Tak are busy... Gir has them chasing he and Mimi all through town. No one knows you're even gone." He smiled as he moved closer to her.
As he reached out to touch her she raised her hand, but he caught it. Face to face, she scowled, even though panic was setting in.
"I told you I'd get you alone, didn't I? I haven't even given you my gift yet.
"If you don't back off, that gift will be shoved down your throat." spat Gaz. Zim only laughed.
"Little demon-smeat... I know you have a painful sting, but I bet you tast like honey." He leaned in to he and stopped. He was getting distracted. He fished through his pockets and retreived a metallic black ring.
"Here's your present. It's irken jewelry. Better than those rocks on Earth." Zim smiled gleefully showing her the object he had promised. She eyed it wearily.
"Jewelry,Zim? The big surprise,the suspense, all for a ring? Do you know what rings represent on Earth?"
"Uh... a peice offering to leave the doghouse?"
"No... well sometimes. Either way I can't take it." Gaz sighed in relief seeing Zim was not planning what she first feared. His antenae drooped.
"But...but... I got it for you. And it's a nice ring... and I wanted you to have it. I thought you would like it." Zim's eyes grew, and tears shined in them. God, how she hated that pitiful puppy look.
"...It's a nice ring", Gaz sighed hating heself for feeling so weak. ,"But you shouldn't have gone through the trouble." Perking up, Zim smiled.
"It was no trouble, for you. It suits you well..." Zim slipped the ring on her small hand. Gaz, stared at it, surprised.
"Not bad..." she responded weakly as she looked at it. The metal shined against her pale hand. It fit perfect.
"Not bad?... you haven't seen anything yet." Zim touched the side of the ring. Gaz looked on in horror as a red glow emitted from it.
She cried out in pain as she felt searring pain treavel from her finger to her arm and all over her body. It was burning in her skull, before it went away as fast as it happend. After catching her breath she reached to her hand to pull it off. But it wouldn't budge.
"You can't take it off. It's been fused into your bones." Zim explained, pulling her up.
"Zim, you asshole! What the hell is wrong with you?" Gaz fumed while the ring formed a small glowing iken symbol.
"Whiner..." He smiled madly. Gaz came at him but found herself unable to do any harm. Taking off his glove, showing her a ring he wore, he explained.
"I don't know what it means on your planet, but on mine it means to bind two souls in one. To join, and be wed." He came up to her and grasped her shoulders.
"What?" Gaz looked at him in disbeleif.
"It I am your husband, the most important thing in your life. I now come first befor Dib, Tak, and anyone else you takes time from you. You are now my wife. And no one can take you away from me..." Zim held Gaz tight in his arms. Bending to her he finally took the kiss he deserved.
