-Me- Yeah another chapter I don't own Invader Zim or any of the songs in here. Enjoy!
Setting 1 Dib's apartment
Dib and Victoria were at the apartment talking when Paige, Will, and Jess walked in and Paige looked really really ticked.
-Will- Come on Paige how many times do I have to say I'm sorry before you forgive me?
-Paige- Hmm let me think about that bro. Oh how about infinity times.
-Will- But, it's scientifically impossible to reach infinity.
-Paige- Exactly in other words I will never ever ever ever forgive you WILL!
-Will- Well excuse me for trying to protect my little sister.
-Paige- No I will not excuse you Will, because I told you not to follow us and what do you do you follow us AND RUIN EVERYTHING!
-Will- Oh come on sis how was I supposed to know it was just a normal cupcake?
-Paige- Are you serious Will? I mean really who in their right mind would ever believe in exploding cupcakes. I'll tell you who a complete idiot LIKE YOU!
-Will- Hey I'm not an idiot.
-Paige- Yes you are Will in fact I'm really really embarrassed to be related to you. Oh or better yet I officially disown you. Congratulations Will you got your wish I am no longer your little sister.
-Will- Hey first of all I never wanted that and YOU CAN'T DO THAT EITHER!
-Paige- I THINK I JUST DID!
-Will- Well fine!
-Paige- FINE!
-Will- FINE!
-Paige- DORK!
-Will- GEEK!
- Paige - WEIRDO!
-Will - LOOSER!
-Paige- FREAK!
-Will- (He stuck his tough out at his former sister and she did the same thing to him and they turned their backs to each other.)
-Jess- (He got in between them) O.k. dudes come on things are getting way too heave up in here. Let's just calm down and talk about something else. Like...ah (Then he noticed something.) Hey Dib dude your leg it healed how did that happen man?
-Victoria- Finally we were wondering when you guys would notice us.
-Jess- Yow sis.
-Victoria- Hey bro I guess the date didn't go so well.
-Paige- What was your first clue this total idiot ruined EVERYTHING!
-Will- Hey I'm not a total idiot YOU'RE THE IDIOT!
-Paige- NO YOUR ARE! (The two of them glared at each other again.)
-Jess- (He got in between them again.) Alright dudes calm down please... ah Dib you were about to tell us about your leg, so shoot.
-Dib- Well it's like I've been trying to tell you guys since the day we first met. Zim and Amethyst are aliens and Amethyst healed my leg.
-Jess, Paige, and Will- Hahahahahaha!
-Will- Oh thank you Dib we needed a good laugh.
-Dib- Oh come on you guys I don't believe you. I finally bring you honest to goodness proof and you're still in denial about the truth. I mean come on how else do you explain the fact that my leg is completely healed?
-Will- Well first of all maybe your dad healed it. I mean he is after all the smartest man alive and second of all aren't you always saying that Zim and Amethyst are evil aliens. Well why would evil aliens want to heal your leg?
-Dib- Ah we're still trying to figure that one out ourselves.
-Will- Ah-hah well you know what I think Dib. I think the only really evil people around here are those two. (He said pointing at Victoria and Jess.)
-Victoria- Now hold on a minute Will. I'm not evil. In fact I just helped Dib save the world while you were off spying on your little sister.
-Will- Ha I'll believe that when pigs fly. As a matter of fact you seem more like the kind of person that would rather destroy the earth then save it.
-Dib- Now hold on Will that's going way too far.
-Victoria- Yah I would never wanna destroy the earth.
-Will- Oh yah.
-Victoria- Yah. (The two of them glared at each other. Then Will saw something very strange Victoria's eyes began to suddenly change from normal human eyes into what looked like purple bug eyes.)
-Will- Huh I must have something in my eyes. (Will said as he took off his glasses and began to clean them.)
-Victoria- Ha you see Dib he's so stupid he can't even support his own lamo theories. Well come on Dib I'm tired of being insulted by an idiot.
-Dib- You took the words right out of my mouth. Come on Victoria lets go.
-Will- (He had just finished putting back on his glasses when he noticed them leaving.) Huh what? Well fine then go. See if I care you big JERKS! (Dib and Victoria slammed the door behind them.) Can you believe those two Paige?
-Paige- No Will I actually can believe them. It's you I can't believe you big dumb IDIOT!
-Will- Hey I'm not an idiot. (He said as he noticed that Paige and Jess were headed for the door.) Hey where are you going?
-Paige- To the mall on another date and you'd better not follow us this time or else I swear Will. I will delete all your chemistry notes.
-Will- Ha you don't even know my password.
-Paige- Wanna bet Real Science Rocks.
-Will- O.k. shh… I mean fine I won't follow you two, but don't come crying back to me when he reveals just how evil he truly is.
-Paige- Don't worry I won't (She stuck her tough out at her former brother then he did the same and then she and Jess slammed the door behind them and left.)
-Will- (He was so frustrated that he screamed at the top of his lungs.) Ahh!
Setting 2 Amethyst P.O.V.
It had been ten or twenty minute since I left the new base when it happened. I guess I wasn't really watching where I was going which is understandable. I mean come on who in their right mind would really watch where they're going when their trying to run away. In fact to tell you the truth you don't really care about anything when you're running away. It's terrible.
Anyway I tripped over some stupid earth drift wood which probably wouldn't have hurt as much if it wasn't for the fact that there was a dumb earth nail stinking out of it.
"Stupid earth drift wood." I said after I hit the ground hard and spit some stupid earth sand out of my mouth. "Yuck I hate the taste of dumb earth sand." I said as I spat some more sand out. Then I turned over on my back to take a look at the damage. My leg was pretty cut up at first, but then my healing powers started to work, and I was healed. Of course my stupid healing powers, it was all their fault that I would never ever see my family again.
Just the thought of that made me want to cry. Oh who was I kidding I had been crying ever since I left the new base. "Oh great." I said as I sat there crying "I am such a stupid little smeetly crying like this again and of course my ankles are bleeding. Huh?"
But, it was true my ankles were bleeding very badly. Oh yeah that's right I never bandaged them up after my stupid dream the real cause of my terrible pain. I guess my healing powers don't really work on injuries I get in my dream. Dah I'm just now realizing that of course. I mean come on of course they don't work if they did then the dumb marks on my hands and stomach and the stupid scratches on my face and wrists would be gone by now. But, no they weren't. And you wanna know the worst part I was forever doomed to be marked by the stupid Matrixsys. "No I don't wanna become a Matrixsys slave. I don't want my evil self to take over. AHH!" I screamed load into the night. I began to start crying into my hands. I just couldn't help it. I was just really really depressed.
"Alright calm down Amethyst that's enough crying for one day time to bulk up. Maybe some music will cheer me up." I said as I took out my i-pod and chose Big Girls Don't Cry by Ferguson.
-Amethyst's i-pod- The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection, baby
To be with myself and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
The song made me feel a little bit better. Then I took off my shoes and socks and put my feet into the earth ocean. The water felt good on my sore ankles.
Ah how could it of possibly come to this? I thought as I began to lay down and stair up at the starts. I can't believe I'll never see my family again. Gir, Kierra, Minimoose, Dad what if I forget what you guys look like? Then it hit me I had their pictures in my locket. Yes my necklace was also a locket. I sat up straight and grabbed it. Then I opened it up and looked at the picture of me and my family at Christmas. We all looked so happy then I looked at the other picture of Dad and Mom on their first date. The pictures made me happy, but they also reminded me of the horrible truth that. I would never ever ever see my family again. Then my sadness returned.
-Amethyst's i-pod- I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
"Come on Amethyst this is for the best." I said as I began to wipe the tears from my eyes. And look back up at the starts.
-Amethyst's i-pod- And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
I always liked this song and it helped me realize the truth. I mean come on if I ever had to choose between my life and my family's life. I would choose my family's life hands down.
-Amethyst's i-pod- The path that I'm walkin', I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairy tales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay
"Well I've got a long walk ahead of me. So I might as well get started." I said after I finished bandaging up both my ankles and wrist. It's a good thing that Dad taught me how to do first aid.
I was about to leave when all of a sudden I felt a terrible pain in my stomach then in my hands and my head started hurting really badly too. "Oh no not now." I yelled thinking that the worse was about to happen then I coughed up some more blood.
-Amethyst's i-pod- I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
"Oh man I really am sick" I said as I looked at my blood. I could just barely see my reflection in the blood then my face seemed to turn into a skull of death. "No!" I said as I began to hit the ground in anger. "Why why was all this stupid stuff happening to me?" I yelled as I fell back on to the ground and then turned over on my back. Again I began to stair up at the starts and as I did this my mind began to wonder back to a simpler time when me, Dad, Gir, Minimoose, and Kierra were just trying to take over this stupid dirt ball of a planet. Everything always seemed so simpler and happier back then.
-Amethyst's i-pod- And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Oh how I wish things would just go back to normal. Then the words of my evil self-started to ring in my head over and over again each time loader then the last. "If you really do love our family as much as you say you do then you will keep them as far away from us as Irkenly possible. Because, this will come to pass. I will make sure off it. HAHAHAHA! If you really do love our family as much as you say you do then you will keep them as far away from us as Irkenly possible. Because, this will come to pass. I will make sure off it. HAHAHAHA! If you really do love our family as much as you say you do then you will keep them as far away from us as Irkenly possible. Because, this will come to pass. I will make sure off it. HAHAHAHA!"
"No no please stop" I said as I put my hands to were human ears usually are. Then I began to start shaking my head in frustration and tears began to fill my eyes again.
-Amethyst's i-pod- Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and Uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be mine
Valentine
It was obvious that my life was over. I mean my evil self could take over at any minute and I did not have a clue how to stop her. I just wanted this all to end I wanted my mommy!
-Amethyst's i-pod- Yes, you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers
And share our secret worlds
Oh mom I miss you so much. If only you could have stopped all of these horrible things from happening. I thought as I slipped more and more in to despair. Then I realized something.
-Amethyst's i-pod- But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself, and center
Clarity, peace, serenity
I needed to stop feeling sorry for myself this was for the best and besides Dad didn't really want me around anyway. Then his words started to ring in my head. They hurt even worse than my evil self's.
"Maybe...I mean if she continues to act like this... Then I guess... Oh I don't know...yes…Ahh! AH MISTAKE! THAT'S YOUR EXSCUSE FOR RUINING MY INGENIOUS NEW PLAN! Well you wanna know what I think Amethyst. I think YOU'RE THE MISTAKE! Either that or you did it ON PURPOSE!"
I know Dad didn't really mean what he said, but it still hurt to hear it out load. Oh Dad why did you have to say that? In fact why did I have to be cursed with this stupid sickness?
-Amethyst's i-pod- I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry
The music began to stop and then I realized the real truth. "I may wish that a lot of things hadn't happened, but none the less they happened all the same, and there was simply nothing I could do about them. Except for just forgetting about the past stop crying and move on with life. I mean after all I was a big girl now and big girls don't cry." I said as I began to get up. "Alright let's get going." I said as I started to leave. Then I heard a familiar voice.
"Master Master!" It was Kierra and Gir. What were they doing here?
"Little Master!" Gir said as he jumped on top of me and started licking me.
"Ahh Gir get off of me."
"Okie-Dokie." He said as he finally got off. Then he said "Oh cool. Water I is gonna go play in it. Wee-hoo!" He ran into the water like crazy. O.k.?
Then I turned to Kierra she looked really out of breath and her hand looked as if Gir had squeezed it really really hard. I won't ask her what happened.
"Kierra what are you and Gir doing here? I told you not to follow me."
"I know what you said Master but, wow hang on a minute... Ah... remind me never to want to go with Gir on a mission ever ever again. Woo anyway we know what you said Master, but we couldn't just let you go throw with this. I mean you're not thinking clearly..."
"No Kierra for the first time in my stupid life I am thinking clearly. Don't you understand that this is the only way?"
"No it's not Master. I mean come on we can go tell your Dad the truth and then he can take you to Utopia and get you fix."
"No Kierra what if when I go to Utopia my evil self takes over and I kill lots of innocent people. I DON'T WANNA KILL ANYBODY! No this is the only way..."
"For what?"
"For what... oh ah hi Paige and Jess what are you guys doing here?"
"Ah hey Amethyst we're headed to the mall to go see a movie. What are you doing here?"
"Ah I'm talking to you dah."
"Ah cool right oh dudet. Hey I just had a great idea Amethyst how about you come to the movie with us."
"Yah Amethyst it will be fun. I mean you really look like you could use some cheering up and what better way than with a great movie?"
"Well I don't know... I said trying to get away from these stupid humans. Then the jess human touched me on my pak and said.
"Oh come on Green Machine what are you afraid of?"
"First of all don't ever touch my Pak or call me that again because no matter what my stupid dreams say I am no one's machine and I.." Just then I felt really dizzy and fell backwards into Paige's arms.
"Amethyst are you ok. She touched my forehead. "Ow Amethyst you're hot to the touch and as white as a sheet."
"A green sheet"
"Stop joking around Jess this is serious we need to get Amethyst to a hospital."
"What no Hospitals! I hate hospitals."
"But Amethyst you're sick."
"No I am not Paige I have never felt better now come one let's go to the movie."
"But Amethyst you need a doctor."
"Trust me Paige the only thing that will make me feel better is a movie now move." I said pushing Paige to the movie as Jess Gir and Kierra followed us.
