Johnny couldn't be positively sure it was Zim. The crash could have been a meteor or an air vessel. It was no surpirse that no one else even noticed the crash. "We should go."
Devi nodded.
They approached the crash site that resided next to the city cess pool. Smoke emulated from a small dent in the ground, where a smidge of purple showed through. It was Zim's cruiser. Johnny cautiously approached the cruiser. "There is no one inside."
"Figures." Devi said. "Why would he return anyways? I'm just going to head back okay?"
Johnny nodded.
"Hey! You there!" A voice called through the mist. "Don't touch that!"
Both of them turned to see a green figure emerge from the smoke that had yet to clear. He was slightly taller than before, and was in another one of his stupid humanly earth disguise. "Oh, hello." Johnny said turning to face Zim.
"This is a government aircraft. You two should go away now so I can retrieve it." Zim gave the face he used to make when you knew he was covering something up.
"Actually no, it's an alien spaceship." Johnny sat down on the ground and looked up at Zim. "Isn't it obvious?"
"No, it's not obvious. I'm human!!!" Zim was starting to get nervous now.
"I never said you weren't."
"You didn't?"
"Nope."
Zim was slightly paranoid now. He knew fully well about Operation Impending Doom Two being called off, Tallest's orders, but his risk of capture was still just as great. "I should go now. The, uh, government is calling me."
"Bye Zim." Johnny gave a slightly crooked smile.
Zim stopped dead in his tracks turning to face Johnny with very narrow eyes. "How did you know my name?"
"You know mine."
Zim walked up to Johnny looking him straight in the eye. "Do I now?"
Johnny nodded. "You do."
"I don't know anyone from this town."
"Yeah you do, because about fifteen years or so ago you were trying to take over the world. I was there."
Zim was completely confused now. Who was he? "Were you now? Were you really?" He was beginning to think whatever this human was doing was messing with his mind somehow.
"I was the one who was trying to stop you."
The realization came to Zim now, but there was no way that this was Dib. That was impossible. First off, Dib was dead. Secondly Dib did not look so disheveled. "Wait a second..." Zim squinted at Johnny. "Your head is rather large..."
Johnny frowned. "You...you still think my head is big? How sad."
Zim frowned. "Your really tall for Dib."
"I'm an adult."
"Yes...yes you are." In disbelief. Zim eyed Johnny even more. He was different. "What are those things under your eyes?"
"Things? Eye circles? I don't sleep."
"Humans need sleep. They are not as advanced as us."
"Most humans need sleep." Johnny stood up. "I don't. I refuse."
Devi walked over to get Johnny. "Hey I have to be somewhere. Is that really Zim?"
"You are his sister right?" Zim stated with a guess.
"Yeah. Hey Nny, I have to get to work. My fucking manager won't stop calling me." She made a face of annoyance. "I...I also need time to think. Goodbye."
"Nny?" Zim glared at Johnny. "What is that?"
"My nickname. I'm Johnny now." Johnny started to walk away.
Zim stood there right as his little robot finnaly showed up behind him. He turned to him. "GIR, where have you been!?
"Eating monkey!!!" GIR sang out in a chanting voice, his green dog suite illuminating slightly in the murkiness of the city.
"Forget it." Zim turned starting to walk around. "Zim has some catching up to do." He turned to GIR. "don't do anything stupid."
GIR's eyes turned red. "Yes master!" then turning their usual blue he proceeded to play with a cricket.
A/n" all is good for now. Next chapter up as soon as I can get it, school finals week = this week.
