Note: Heh, heh, just read over that note I left last chapter... I'm really sorry about that, by the way. There's no telling what I'll do when I switch moods, which is like switching whole personalities for me. Anyway, thanks moop! (Replying to an anonymous review, as always!) Also, I can't wait 'till the next chapter! I've been planning this, ahem, 'moment' for a while now and the next chapter is when most of it happens! Enjoy!
Zim ran behind Gaz with Gir, who was laughing loudly, in his arms. He knew he shouldn't have brought up Dib.
'Maybe I should tell her about his personality being downloaded into a hologram...' he thought.
'Wait a minute... What am I thinking? I shouldn't care less if she hates me or not!' That one word, shouldn't, echoed through his mind.
He shook his head, pushing the thought aside. He saw Gaz stop and fall to her knees, looking at the dark night sky. She moved to a nearby tree and leaned on it tiredly. Zim ran in and glanced in her direction.
"I'm going to sleep." she grumbled and turned away from him. He put Gir on the ground and plopped down on top of the fallen leaves. He slid his hands behind his head and glanced sideways at Gir, who was sitting quietly and staring at him.
"Gir," he whispered as quietly as possible. "Aren't you tired?" the little robot shook his head, pulled a waffle out of nowhere, and chewed silently.
Zim looked up at the stars, noticing how small they seemed. Of course, with his new advanced vision, he could probably zoom in on them until they looked about the size the sun did during the day, but then they might not seem so...beautiful.
Then again, who was he to appreciate beauty? He was the superior, almighty Zim! He had always been proud, maybe even a little too proud, but still proud. He didn't care about the beauty of anything except for the beauty of victory.
When did that start sounding so shallow?
He unconsciously glanced towards Gaz, who was snoring loudly as she slept. It must've been a long day for her. How many hours were left until daylight, anyway? Out here, there was no way to tell.
He looked back up at the sky. It was much more similar to the Earth's night sky than he thought it would be. Of course, there were different constellations, but what difference did that truly make?
Lost in his thoughts, he started drifting off to sleep. It seemed like so long since he had had a peaceful sleep, a good 8 or 9 hours without worry of being taken by "Lord" Gaz's soldiers. Or even her guards.
He sleepily smirked, his eyes sliding closed. Those guards were complete idiots. The soldiers, on the other hand, were on a much higher level. He didn't worry about the lower ranked soldiers much, but the higher ranked he had to watch out for.
They weren't nearly as fast, strong, or quick as he was. But they were smart.
He drifted deeper into sleep. It was so nice to finally end that long day.
So...nice...
Another note: Yeah, this is short, I know, but that means I can get to the 'moment' quicker! Yeah, that means I'm gonna start writing it now!
