Invader Zim is not mine!

Gaz P.O.V.

I had passed out in Zim's arms just as he sat me down on his odd pink couch.

All the horrible memories of my childhood had come back. All the things that would give me nightmares and usually, Gir would be there with me, but when one night he just disappeared… I had to forget about them, somehow, and that somehow was to lose myself in video games and books and it worked… until Zim showed up.

When he showed up, I kept getting these dreams and in all of them, he would be my savior… Every time I would go to sleep I would remember the horrible experiments that Membrane would conduct on me to find cures to sicknesses, I would dream of Zim breaking in through the windows, walls, doors, anything just to save me… and I hated him for it. I would always feel weak, and I despised that feeling, but when he actually saved me… I was so thankful! Just the thought of going through another one of Membranes painful experiments was horrible, how I was able to survive, I have no idea, but I had the feeling that it was all thanks to Gir.

When he disappeared I always blamed Dib, there was no one else to blame. Membrane had no idea that Gir was there with me, sometimes I wondered if I was even Membranes daughter, I didn't look anything like him, heck I didn't have the same personality as him!

Every night that I would be sent to my room after Membrane conducted an experiment on me, Gir would be there to comfort me, sure I think he had a few lose wires, but that is what made him special… he was my only friend…

But then Dib found him, years ago.

Flash Back

I was sound asleep, Gir in my arms when Dib came in my room, waking me up, his eyes full of tears. "Gaz… I had a nightmare." He whispered, shaking my shoulder.

"Go tell dad…" I murmured, refusing to open my eyes, not wanting to wake up.

"Gaz, he isn't here." He whimpered, looking down, tears streaming down his cheeks, even back when we were five, Membrane was never there for us, he wouldn't even send a babysitter.

I sighed and scooted over, making room for him to lie down, he was my brother, I know he would do the same thing for me. "Thanks Gaz." He whispered and climbed on to the bed next to me, pulling the blanket that he was dragging behind him up on top of him.

I hugged Gir closer to me with a sigh, and snuggled into the bed.

"Gaz?" Dib whispered poking my shoulders.

I growled at him. "What do you want now Dib?" I asked him, shutting my eyes tighter.

"What's that?" he asked with a sniffle and sat up on the bed.

"What's what?" I asked him, one of my eyes opening to look at him. He was annoying even when he was sleepy!

"That! The thing in your arms." He said, pointing at Gir who was fast asleep with curiosity.

"Nothing." I answered quickly hugging Gir closer to me.

Dib reached over and yanked Gir out of my arms.

Gir woke up with a screech.

Dib jumped back and threw Gir to the other side of the room. Gir crashed against the wall. I heard something break, and then a whimper, then dead silence

"Dib! What on earth did you do?" I asked him, glaring at him. I got up and ran to a dissembled Gir. I grabbed what I could in my arms, but most of his tiny body parts kept slipping through my arms.

Dib looked at me, guilt and regret filling his features. "I'm so sorry Gaz! I didn't know! I'll make it up to you!" he said hastily as he rushed to me.

"Dib, you just killed my only friend!" I yelled at him, tears starting to fill my eyes.

Din's eyes started to water too. "I didn't mean to Gaz! You have to believe me!" he said, helping me pick up Gir's body parts.

"It's too late, Dib! I don't know how to fix him!" I whispered wiping away the tears that were streaming down my cheeks.

He hugged me to him. "Gaz, everything is going to be okay." He whispered and pulled me into a hug,

I sobbed into his night shirt. I had cried myself to sleep that night, on Dib's shoulder. I woke up to find Dib sleeping on the floor, snoring loudly, but I never found Gir's body parts.

The best explanation that I could come up with was that in the middle of the night, he had somehow reconstructed himself and ran away, I never thought of looking on the top shelves of my closet… I never used them, I could never reach them.

It was Dib that had hidden Gir, out of guilt…
