A/N: Hey people! I'm so glad to be out of school. I can finally start writing again. I have been working on this forever. I hope you like this. I wanted the tallest to be pretty funny. :)
Something Worth Fighting For: Chapter 7
Dib's POV
Dib stared at his younger sister. She looked furious.
"Gaz is something wrong?" He asked.
"No! Nothings wrong! Now get out!" She screamed.
She swung the door as hard as she could. Dib stuck his foot in the door before it could close completely. A horrible pain moved up his foot and through out his entire body. Gaz looked slightly surprised by his level of concern for her. He pushed the door open all the way and stepped inside her room. Gaz looked like she could kill him. He slowly walked up to her, like he was afraid he would be attacked, and put his hands on her shoulders, forcing her to listen to him. She glared up at him. Her amber eyes looked like fire.
"Gaz listen, I know we have never, and I mean NEVER, gotten along. But I'm still your older brother and your still my little sister. I can tell when something's wrong. When things aren't right. One of those moments is happening right now. Something's been off with you lately. I really want to know what's going on." He said.
She looked at the floor and sighed. She sat down on her bed, running her fingers through her hair. Dib sat down next to her.
"Come on Gaz. What's wrong?" The concern in his voice was growing.
"Dib lately I've been... stressed out. That's all."
"Are you sure that's all? It doesn't have any thing to do with Zim, does it?" He asked
Gaz sat up straight, her eyes wide.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Gaz it doesn't take a genius to figure this out. Zim said I didn't think you would follow me. From that I was led to believe he was here." Dib replied.
"Well you were led correctly." She said, giving a small sigh of relief.
"Why was he here?"
"Well, he was in dad's lab..."
Suddenly Dib jumped up.
"I knew it!" He screamed. "Zim is after dad's invention. I knew he would try to steal it and use it for his evil plans of…. evil!"
Suddenly a sharp pain made its way up his back. In one quick moment he was laying on his face in the hallway. Gaz was standing in the door way, looking like she was going to beat him to death. She slammed the door.
What did I do to make her so mad?, Dib thought.
Gaz's POV
She flung herself onto her bed. Her eyes fixed on the roof.
Of course he was only talking to me because he wanted to know about Zim, She thought.
She sighed, feeling worst then before.
He would never care how I really felt.
Zim's POV
Zim let out a sigh of frustration. He rolled his eyes for what seemed like the hundredth time. The first thing the tallest had wanted to know, after they got done laughing at how terrified he had been, was everything. They wanted Zim to explain every exact detail about the human. He didn't mind explaining it to them the first time or the second, but now he was explaining it for the fifth time. He was not amused. They had barely made a dent in the collection of knowledge about the humans that Zim wanted to share with them. They were hung up on topic of how tall the humans were.
"They are so tall but so stupid. How is this possible?!" Red said
"Yes, I agree! How can they be tall and stupid at the same time." Purple said
"There not the only stupid and tall ones around here." Zim whispered
"What was that?" Red said, looking up at Zim.
"Oh... um ... I was just... um said how it would be best if you two were disguised." Zim said
"Why would that be a good idea?" Red ask
"Because you will get a chance to observe the humans yourself." Zim replied
"I like that idea!" Purple yelled
"I don't." Red said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Fine then. I'll be disguised and you can sit around here all day." Purple said.
"I'm fine with that idea as long as I have snacks." Red said.
"Ok, I'll make sure you have snacks my tallest. Now who should you be disguised as?" Zim said staring at Purple. He knew he would have to hurry. School started soon and he couldn't be late. Suddenly he had the perfect idea.
Gaz's POV
Gaz sat up from her bed and looked at the clock. It read 7:38. She stood up and sighed. She swung her closet door open. She grabbed a black dress and quickly slipped it over her head, along with a pair of striped purple and black tights. Making her way down the stairs she saw her brother sitting on the couch in the living room, watching mysterious mysteries.
"Gaz I…" He started
Gaz held up her hand, signaling for him to be quiet. A few moments later she walked out of the kitchen holding a bowl of cereal in her hand. She plopped down on the couch next to Dib. She glanced over at his bowl. A frown formed on her lips.
"You ate the last of my favorite cereal. You will pay later." She said bitterly.
"Gaz will you please listen to me?" Dib asked
"Shut up, I'm eating." She said.
They sat there in silence as they both ate. Dib finished first. He sat there waiting for her to finish so she will listen to him. She ate as slowly as possible, watching the clock. The bowl hit the table with a little cracking noise as she throw it down.
"Now will you…." Dib tried again.
"No. Its time to leave." She said pointing to the clock, with a small smile. She didn't feel like listening to him today. She grabbed her purple backpack and headed out the door. Dib sighed.
When they arrived at school Gaz ran to her homeroom. She took her set behind Zim. She stared at him awkwardly. Suddenly he turned around and looked at her.
"Hey Gaz." He said "I've been wanting to talk to y….."
Gaz and him both jumped as there was a loud crash as the classroom door slammed into the wall.
"What the?!" Gaz yelled.
The person walked into the room. Gaz just stared.
Zim's POV
So much for acting like a human, Zim thought.
Apparently Purple had decided to kick the classroom door open. Zim stared at him and sighed.
"I will be you teacher today while Ms. Bitters is not here." Purple said as he walked over to Ms. Bitter's desk. He was wearing a suit and a wig that was slightly sideways. "Yes?" He pointed to the kid in the back who had their hand up.
"Usually when we have a sub they put there name on the board. Why didn't you?" The kid asked
"I didn't because shut up." Purple said.
"Then what do we call you?" The kid asked again.
"I have a question of my own. Does this school have a pit of fire some where, cause if it does I'm going to throw you in it." Purple said
"No, if it did Ms. Bitters would have thrown us in there a long time ago." The kid told him.
"Fine, just call me teacher."
"Ok, teacher I have a question." The same kid said again.
Purple groaned "What now?!"
"Are sure you are qualified to be a teacher?"
"I really don't like you." Purple told the kid. He let out a sigh and looked back up at them. "You all... do something. Something educational."
He gave the class a thumbs up sign and smiled. He sat down in the chair behind Ms. Bitter's desk and put his feet up on the desk. He put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. The class stared at him unsure of what to do. Zim let out a sigh and laid his head on his own desk.
Purple, you idiot, He thought.
Another ten minutes of class passed by with them sitting there like statues. Suddenly Purple sit up quickly. The whole class jumped at the sudden movement of their insane teacher. He leaned over looking under Ms. Bitter's desk.
"There's a button under here. I wonder what it does." Purple said.
Purple pushed the button. All of the sudden the tile under the desk in front of Zim dropped open like a secret hatch. The student and his desk plummeted into the darkness far below. Zim tried push his desk backwards out of fear he was going to fall as well. A wicked grin spread across Purple's face.
"Now how do I make that happen to your desk?" Purple ask, pointing at the student that had been repeatedly asking him questions. The student gulped.
We'll all be dead before the days over, Zim thought.
