Okay, okay, I bet you guys don't wanna hear the boring blah, blah, blah crap that happened for the next few days so I'll skip to about two weeks later.
Well, two weeks later, although we were weak and didn't have much of an appetite, Dib and I were released from the hospital. (Sigh of relief.) They said we were both likely to die sometime soon but…it probably wasn't true.
We were sitting on the couch by Dib's TV. Just sitting. Nothing else. The TV wasn't even on.
"Is Zim coming over today?" I asked.
"No." Dib said. "He decided to spend the day with Katie."
"Oh." I said. "That's good."
Just then, Dib's phone began to ring.
"I'll get it." He said. He walked over and answered it. "Hello?"
He stood there for awhile and then hung up.
"Who was it?" I asked as he sat back down.
"Some prank caller. They just said to run and hide somewhere so I hung up." Dib said.
"Pfft." I said.
"Well, what should we do today?" Dib asked.
"Why do you always have to ask me?" I asked. "I want to rest and not think of how much my side hurts."
"Okay then." He said.
I laid across his lap and closed my eyes.
"I'm so tired…" I said. He smoothed my hair back and I fell asleep.
When I woke up, Dib wasn't there. Normally, if I fell asleep on him, he stayed there until I woke up.
Weird…
Maybe he was in the bathroom or something.
I knocked on the bathroom door.
No response. This was getting weird. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed his number. It rang until it went to voicemail.
Hello, I'm not here right now. I'm probably having a great time right now with my girlfriend. Call back later! It said.
I sighed. This wasn't like him. I went into Gaz's room. Gaz was on the bed playing some game.
"Hey…have you seen Dib?" I asked. She looked at me, shrugged, and continued to play. I sighed and walked to the last place left. Dib's room. I went into his room and found a note on his bed.
Dear Candy, I've decided to end it all and kill myself. It's nothing personal and I love you. I can't watch you suffer anymore.
Love Dib.
No. This wasn't happening.
I ran to Gaz's room and showed her the note. She scanned through it.
"This is a joke." She said.
"Wh-"
"This isn't Dib's writing at all. It's someone else's."
"Sizz-Lorr…" I hissed. The sound of his name sent chills down my spine and nearly burnt my lips. I stormed over to Zim's house and banged on the door. No one answered so I opened it. The house was empty and I only saw Gir there, lying on the floor in the fetal position, crying.
"W-What's wrong?" I asked, bending to his level. "Where's Zim?"
"M-master was kidnapped and…and Sizz-Lorr took 'em away! I told him not to but he…he was being all bad!" Gir said. I rubbed his head soothingly.
"That's it." I said, cracking my knuckles. "Sizz-Lorr has crossed the line."
"What are you gonna do?" Gir asked.
"I'm going to find his ship and settle this once and for all." I said. "You stay here. Wish me luck."
"O-okay." Gir sniffled, sitting on the couch. I went to Zim's ship, hopped inside, strapped myself in, and launched it.
I quickly found Sizz-Lorr's ship on the radar. It was only a few miles away. I zoomed forward, connected the ship to the entrance, and bashed the door open.
"Well, well…" Sizz-Lorr said. "If it isn't Candy."
"Save your breath, fatty! Where are my friends?" I asked.
"Oh, Did I kidnap them? How silly of me!" he said. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm tired of jokes, Sizz-Lorr. I want you AWAY from me. AWAY from my friends." I said. I noticed he still had the robotic suit and he was now very strong.
He pinned me against the wall by my neck. He slowly lifted me off the ground.
"Then let's get this over with…" he said with a devious smile.
"P-Put me down…" I gagged. He dropped me and I hit the ground hard. He kicked my stomach RIGHT where it was stitched up. I screamed so loud that I thought I may have deafened Sizz-Lorr.
Sizz-Lorr pulled out a plasma gun.
"I've been waiting so long for this moment." He said. He put the weapon to my head. Just then, Zim and Dib ran from a room and were followed by Keef.
Sigh…Keef…
"I TOLD YOU TO KEEP THEM IN THERE!" Sizz-Lorr yelled.
"THEY PROMISED COOKIES!" Keef said.
Omg wut?
Dib ran over and hugged me tight. Sizz-Lorr fired his gun towards Dib and I blocked the projectile with my hand.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed in pain. Sizz-Lorr laughed at this. Now, I had one less arm to punch with. My hand was just bleeding like crazy now and I couldn't do anything about it. I held it in pain and he shot again but this time he managed to hit Dib in the shoulder.
That poor comfortable shoulder…
He, too screamed in pain though his wound didn't look as bad as mine.
"HEY!" I said. "NO ONE HURTS MY BOYFRIEND EXCEPT FOR ME!"
With those words, I threw a punch (with my good hand) to his face. He dropped his weapon and I took it. I pointed it at him and he gulped. Then I could tell he was up to something because he grinned a little.
He grabbed Dib and put a knife to his neck.
"Put it down or he dies too." Sizz-Lorr said. I began to sweat and my hand shook. After realizing that I couldn't do anything now, I dropped the plasma gun.
"Smart choice." Sizz-Lorr said. He forcefully pushed Dib and I pulled him into a hug. Then I turned back to Sizz-Lorr.
"Again, what do you gain from this?" I asked.
"It's funny you'd ask." He said. "Well, you're a criminal. You escaped from prison on more than one planet. If I kill you, I get a REWARD. A big one."
"So I'm worth money? THAT IS COOL!" I said.
"They want you dead. And so do I." Sizz-Lorr said. "I'll spare your friends if you give away your life."
"NOT LIKELY, PUNK!" I said, picking up the gun and shooting him in the stomach. He groaned but then he turned to me, pure evil in his eyes.
He desired my death more than ever now.
"Hmm…" he said. "Do you think you really deserve to live? After all, you have no family. Your dad left you, your mom died, and your sister is controlling the ship and working for me. She's easy to bribe. And you make way more mistakes than people should. You're stupid. A nuisance. If you died, it would just be one less stupid person on Earth."
"I'm not stupid! And I may not have a family but I have a boyfriend and an idiot friend. That's all I need." I said. Sizz-Lorr laughed. He picked me up by the arm and I screamed in fear.
"Is that so?" he said. "So if I DID kill them, you'd have no desire to live?"
"…Correct." I said.
He smiled, put me down, and pulled his knife back out.
Someone likes to play with knives…
He grabbed Dib and put the knife to him again.
"I'll give you one last chance then." He said. "Surrender your life or your friends die."
He grabbed Zim with his other arm. When he did, I felt queasiness in my stomach. Time seemed to go slower than it should. I began to think of all of the trouble I've been through because of Sizz-Lorr. Frying food, almost dying, escaping prisons. As I thought of this, I heard the now distant bleeps of the ship and Sizz-Lorr telling me to make up my mind. I clenched my hands into fists and with a scream, I punched Sizz-Lorr's head, grabbed the knife, and stabbed him through the back. He let out a gasp, his eyes widened. Then he fell face-first to the ground. He began to bleed horribly and he created a huge puddle of blood. I put my hands to my mouth and backed away slowly. I had really done it... He was dead.
"Candy, you did it!" Dib said happily. I wasn't paying much attention to him. I didn't know what to say, do, or think. Tears formed in my eyes. I didn't know why because I hated Sizz-Lorr. These tears made it down my cheeks.
"Candy…Earth to Candy…" Zim said, waving his hand in front of my face. "Your pupils are all dilated…"
"Oh my god…" I mumbled, not really focusing on anything and just letting my eyes blur.
"A-Are you okay?" Dib asked. At this point, everything sounded muffled as if I had been drugged.
"I…I really killed him…" I said quietly. Zim shook me by the shoulders.
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" he said, slapping me. I shook my head and felt somewhat normal again minus the pain that filled me from him shooting my hand and kicking me where I had surgery.
"We need to get back home." Zim said.
"NAW." Dib said sarcastically. "Okay, I'll just go get…Coco to turn it around."
"Wait! C-Can I?" I asked. Dib shrugged and I ran into a small room where Coco was piloting the ship.
"Hey." She said, turning her head halfway. "Good to see you. That was sarcasm."
"Oh, um, Coco…can you turn the ship around and take us back home?"
"Sizz-Lorr won't allow it." She said.
"I um…well…Sizz-Lorr sort of…stopped living…" I said.
She turned in her chair and revealed bright red eyes.
"Well, then I must avenge him." She said in a voice which resembled a robot. She put the ship in auto-pilot and stood up. She rolled up her sleeves and tried to punch me but I grabbed her arm.
"He must've done something to you." I said. "But…before he died, he said he wanted you to…take us home."
"Then I must obey." She said, turning the ship. I began to hold my hand in pain. It was REALLY starting to hurt.
I went back to where Zim, Dib, and Keef were. Keef hugged me.
"HEYA FRIEND!" he said. Dib pried Keef's hands off of me.
"Um…hi, Keef…" I said, backing away a little. I kept backing away until my back was against the wall. I slid down to the floor and sat there, hugging my knees.
"Candy what's wrong with you?" Zim asked. I sighed.
"Do you think…that what Sizz-Lorr said about me was true? Am I really just…one more stupid person on this filthy planet?" I asked as tears slowly rolled one by one down my cheeks.
"No, of course not! How many times have I told you how awesome you are?" Zim asked. I looked up at him.
"Well, a-a lot…" I said.
"I found this in some compartment." Zim said, tossing me a roll of bandages. I thanked him and wrapped it around my hand. I stood up and tackled Zim and Dib into a hug.
"I love you guys…" I said as the ship landed on Earth. I went to the front and pulled Coco out by the arm as we went into Zim's house. I sat with Dib on the couch and Zim took Coco to the lab to try to un-hypnotize her. I pulled Gir onto my lap and fell asleep there.
I was asleep for a really long time.
In my sleep, I heard some weird sizzling noise. This noise brought back the pain I had suffered in the past at Shlooghorghs. Working endless hours for Sizz-Lorr. Then I began to think of how close he was to killing my friends. I wanted this thought out of my mind but that stupid god-forsaken noise of sizzling kept it in. I awoke with a scream, quickly sitting up.
I was back at Dib's house.
Dib walked into the living room from the kitchen.
"Hey, breakfast is ready. Gosh, it's nothing to scream over." He said.
"I'm sorry." I said, walking over. I went into the kitchen and ate breakfast, ignoring the sickness that I felt whenever I woke up. When I was done, I sat back on the couch. I had finally calmed down.
"How are you feeling?" Dib asked.
"Pretty okay…" I said.
"Do you wanna go somewhere today?"
"Naw." I said. I laid my head on Dib's "good" shoulder. I was completely relaxed now.
(I knew I was beginning to get posttraumatic stress disorder XD)
"So, you just want to stay here today?" he asked. I nodded.
"I would like that." I said.
"You know I love you, right?" he asked.
"Course I do. And I love you too." I said.
"Okay then." He said with a smile.
"Actually…" I said. "Why don't we go to Starbucks?" I asked.
"Sounds like fun!" he said, standing up. We ran out the door and into his car.
A day well spent.
Is it the end already? Aw, no there will probably be another sequel. (A/N: I already have an idea for my next villain) OMG, yes, Sizz-Lorr was a big jerk. I didn't want to kill him but I did. Zim got Coco back to normal, and all was well. That day, I spilled hot coffee on my lap. How smart of me.
(And immature)
Alrighty, guys, gals, and the others! Smart and Immature is over. Sorry. But again, there will PROBABLY be another sequel :D yay! Oh, and I was thinking, I was starting to remake "The little brother he never had". PLEASE TELL ME IF I SHOULD! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE! I plan for it to be much more organized and even better than the original!
Well, that's the end. What did you think?
