Hello again. I've been a bit lazy today. Haven't been in my right mind, if you know what I mean. Anyway, I hope to make this chapter like all the other original chapters. Been drawing a bit lately as well, but my scanner is not working as it should. So, I'll need to get to that eventually. Enjoy this one!
Outside Zora's House:
The twilight has finally fallen upon the small and quiet street, with not but a stranger in a black cloak walking up past the Membrane's house and up to the next.
He stopped and looked up at the address.
"So this is where she currently resides. Well, Zora..."
Ryuu slowly slipped off his hood, revealing his handsome features.
"I guess you're going to be in for a wonderful surprise." An evil grin spread across his countenance as he stepped up the steps and towards the door.
Inside Zora's House:
"Dib, once again...", growled Gaz as she gently patted the end of her metal baseball bat, staring down at a completely bruised Dib.
"ARE YOU SURE THIS DAMN WALL ISN'T CURSED? I BETTER GET A PROPER ANSWER, OR ELSE..." She swung her bat and hit the floor next to his head, making his slightly jump.
"I'm sure Gaz... oww... Zim, Zora... help me out pwease?" His head had a huge bump on the side, which was beginning to swell at a very fast rate.
"Gaz, I think Dib is telling the truth. Nothing else happened to the wall so far, and that picture will never be seen again. Zim made sure of that." Zora pleaded.
Zim was too busy recalling the events of what happened earlier in the master bedroom, not getting enough of the mental replay of their first kiss.
While he spazzed out in his trance, Gaz smirked down at her battered and bruised brother.
"Hmph. Fine." As a way to soothe herself, she grabbed an old baseball that was sitting somewhere near Zim, and threw it out the slightly open window. "I hope that will hit somebody...", she mumbled in aggrivation as she headed back downstairs to see where Gir went.
Everyone else eventually followed (Zim had to be dragged by both Dib and Zora, who was still daydreaming).
Outside:
As Ryuu began his way up the steps, he heard something coming from up above him. He looked up, only to have a baseball fall right on his face.
"Ouch! What the-? Who threw that ball!" He looked up to see that it came from the slightly open window.
"Damn. Do they know that I'm already here?" He growled. As he reached for the door, he saw the knob slightly twist. He jerked his hand back and quickly dove into one of the bushes on his side. As the door opened, he peeped through to see who it was. A cute green dog was taking the garbage out, all while humming a playful tune.
'I didn't know earth dogs were green, let alone hum!', he thought as he watched the dog in disbelief.
Just then, a thought struck him. 'Wait a minute, earth dogs aren't green. That means this dog in particular must belong to that freak Zora is with.' As he watched the dog head his way back into the house, he took his chance at getting inside. Too late.
The door slammed behind Gir, with a loud click, indicating that he locked the door. Ryuu rubbed his nose as his face came into contact with the closed door.
"Crap, there's got to be someway to get inside.." He looked up at the window where the ball flew out of from earlier. He grinned a mischievous grin as he turned to the tree behind him and began climbing it.
Inside:
Gaz went to the fridge and grabbed the last soda that was there. 'Thank God Dib isn't the one to take the last soda this time.', she thought in relief. That always seemed to happen at her house quite frequently.
Zora sipped her glass of lemon iced tea, shifting in her seat as Zim continued to stare at her mouth.
'Really, I wish he would stare at something else, and not my mouth...'
Dib noticed that she was getting uncomfortable, and threw a paper hornet at Zim, hoping to get a direct hit.
Zim, surprising everyone, grabbed the food tray in front of him without moving his position, and reflected the hornet. It flew past Dib and straight past Gaz, missing her nose by an inch, making her eye twitch.
The hornet continued to ricochet off the walls and went flying up the stairs.
Outside:
As Ryuu finally reached the high branch of the tree that led straight into the abandoned bedroom, he sighed in relief. "Finally, this damn climb is over. I never really did like this tree..."
When he reached an arm out to grab the edge of the roof, he heard a loud pinging sound. As quickly as he looked up, was as quickly as he went back down to square one; right on his back on the grass. He groaned in pain as he picked up what hit him. It was a paper hornet.
'I THOUGHT PEOPLE STOPPED MAKING THESE RIDICULOUS THINGS!', getting very angry.
He threw the piece of paper aside, and began to climb quickly back up the tree, jumping onto the roof and ready to open the window.
Inside:
As the fray sat down, chugging their drinks (all except for Zim, who was busy watching Zora drink), a loud thump was heard from upstairs.
Gaz, was the first to jump. She turned over to Dib, "I thought you said it wasn't cursed!", she cried, grabbing her metal bat.
Dib threw his arms up in the air, "It isn't! I swear! It must be something else!"
Zim continued not to pay attention, while Zora took it as a sign to respond. "Sounds like an intruder. I say we should go and investigate."
Gaz got up, crushing the empty soda can in her hand. She grabbed her metal bat, ready to beat someone's face in. "I'm right behind you."
Gaz and Dib headed their way up the stairs, Zora grabbed Zim's hand, trying to pull him up. He wouldn't budge. "Zim, come on! We got to go see what's going on!" Zim was like a stump. With a sigh, Zora kissed him on the cheek. That brought Zim back to life, jumping from his seat. "An intruder? Come, dear Zora! Let's smite this foe together!" He grabbed her hand as they sped off behind their friends, leaving a laughing Gir in the television room.
