Woohoo! The return of the chick named suckishLEMONADE who seemed to fall off the face of the Earth! I had a root beer and some chocolate ice cream, so let's see how weird this chapter's a-gonna be!
Also, since I just posted the last chapter, no need to reply to any reviews, 'cause they're not there.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Pedro's a-gonna be-a CARAMELLDANSEN! Sorry, moment. SAY HI PEDRO!
Pedro: No.
IT'S A TWO LETTER WORD, I'LL TAKE IT!
(You don't know who Pedro is. Let's keep it that way, or Pedro will have to destroy you!)
Pedro: Oh, no, don't you dare drag me into anything illegal!
ANYWAY, on to the story! And stuff!
WAIT! MORE STALLING, I JUST GOT A REVIEW!
To 'I'm Most Definetly Not Ally': good luck with that! Pedro: Yeah, hey, Tom, guess what? SHUT UP!
"YOU FREAKING IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME!"
Zim had been hiding his laughter, but could no longer hold it in. He burst out, laughing so hard tears rolled down his face.
Gaz's skin was now completely purple, and whenever she touched her face in the reflection of the nearby stream of water she had yellow fingerprints on her cheek. It had only taken about five minutes after she had eaten the fruit to get like that.
Zim hadn't lied about the fruit being safe to eat, but he did lie about people searching for it. People actually usually went out of their way to avoid it. Zim looked at the sky, using the shadows of the trees around him to guess the time.
"Well," he said, mostly done laughing, although Gaz was still yelling. She stopped.
"What?" she growled.
"Well, the bad news is that the skin condition will last a few days."
"And there's good news?"
"Yeah. The 'loopiness,' as you may call it, only lasts an hour or two."
"The what?"
Zim just grinned. Suddenly, Gaz's eyes focused on something in the distance. She hunched over and gave a wobbly smile.
"I feel happy now."
Zim chuckled. He knew he was probably going to get it later, but it was probably worth it to not have her yelling at him constantly for a few hours.
Gir rolled up to Gaz.
"Is Gaz okay? Heloooo?" Gaz looked down.
"MUFFINS!"
Gir grinned.
Then the two started doing and saying the most random things. It was like having two Girs!
After a while, Zim looked at the shadows of the trees again. They had been there for at least 20 minutes.
He walked up to Gaz, who was singing Gir's 'Banana Doom' song with him and gently held her shoulders. He guided her away and she giggled.
"I like that fruit."
"I know you do. I know you do." Zim said soothingly.
He tried hard to hold back his laughter. If he got Gaz laughing too, who knows how long they'd be there?
He guided Gaz along, wondering if the length of time before the fruit wore off was the same for a human as it was for an Irken.
Note: Okay, I'm not sure who the next chapter will focus on. Eh, we'll figure it out.
