Note: Alright! Time to shout out to the anonymous reviewers!
moop: Thanks!
Tana P: Haha, yeah.
Hula hula hula: Yeah, he has hair in MY story! Don't worry about it, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed either! *gasp* is your forehead okay?
So, sorry for taking so long, for one, I didn't have much inspiration, also we wiped my computer because it was so slow. Good news, now it's like new! Bad news, I had to spend forever waiting for my dad to stop downloading his lame Star Wars games (no offense for you...Star Warsians...) and...yeah.
Also, HI ALLY! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI! PEDRO SAYS HI, TOO! Well, actually he said much worse, but I edited it until it was rated G! Let's just say it was for Scarlet.
Alright, now to the awkward conversation!
"So, I suspect that I am not getting an apology from you, am I?"
"Nope."
Zim and Gaz were walking through the forest with Gir rolling after them. He was laughing and had a bunch of muffins rolling around with him, and every few seconds another one would pop out of his head.
"What's with that stupid way to...mate, or whatever, anyway?" Gaz paused before saying the word, not sure if it was something she wanted to think about too hard.
"I do not make the laws, I just know them."
"Don't you mean you 'just follow' them?"
"No."
"Right."
They walked in silence for a moment, then Gaz smirked.
"So, what was with the purring?"
From behind him, she could see Zim's face grow to a darker shade of green.
"Uh...I purred?"
"Yeah. Were you not supposed to?"
He didn't reply.
"HE PURRS JUST LIKE A GIRAFFE!" Gaz heard Gir's voice behind her.
"So, did you sleep well?" Zim said, quickly changing the subject.
Gaz hesitated, being reminded of the dream she had.
"Not really."
Zim's head perked up with interest. "What do you mean?"
"None of your beeswax, Giraffe Boy."
"Beeswax?" he mumbled to himself. He shrugged and kept moving.
"So, are we gonna die of starvation in this stupid forest or what?"
"I guess we'll just keep walking until-"
"By 'are we,' I mean 'am I.'"
"Ummm..."
She smacked him in the back of the head. "I mean, get me some food, Smart One!"
He scowled as he looked back at her, rubbing his head where she hit it.
"You can take care of yourself, 'Oh Great Lord of Most of the Universe!'" He added sarcastically.
"Yeah, woulda been all of the universe if it wasn't for those wierdos from the 'future'..."
Zim seemed to ponder something for a moment.
"The purple haired one, your relative, correct?"
"I guess so..."
"She said I was to be the, er, 'Wife of the House' or something. What is that supposed to mean?"
Gaz paused.
"Ugh, stop stalling! Fine, I'll get the freaking food on my own." she walked away, glad she had found an excuse not to answer his question. She looked around, focusing her sharp eyes up at the top of the trees. Soon, she saw something.
She jumped up, landing crouched on a branch. She reached out in front of her and took hold of a strange fruit. It was purple and had several lumps on it the size of large marbles. She turned it over in her hand, and noticed that places she had touched turned yellow, then slowly faded back to purple.
"Hey!" she called to Zim, who was staring at Gir, who was singing a strange song about doom and bananas, which he called 'Banana Doom.'
"HEY!" she yelled louder.
He looked up.
"Is this safe to eat?" she threw one toward his head, but he was too fast. He held it in his hands. A grin spread across his face.
"Yes!" he called back up. "Actually, here on Irk, it's quite a rare delicacy! Some people love it so much they devote their whole lives to finding these and die unfufilled."
Gaz jumped back down.
"Sounds like my kinda fruit!" she bit it and nodded her head. It was pretty good. She ate the rest of the bit she had in her hands and looked over at her traveling, er, not so much companion as enemy. His fruit lay uneaten in his gloved hands.
"Aren't you gonna eat it?" she asked, her voice slightly muffled by the bites of fruit in her mouth. He grinned again, which was making Gaz angry for some reason.
"I'm saving it for later." she shrugged and walked on.
"Sure, why not? Starve all ya want. Just stop grinning like that, you look like a pedophile."
She had no idea what was about to happen to her next.
