Thought about killing off Iggins again, but who knows maybe I will end up doing it. Never could stand that annoying guy myself, Invader Johnny.

You and your crushes, Everclear. Sorry he isn't real, eh?

Thank you, LordGhostStriker. :)


It was a mistake for him to believe his formula would work. Perhaps he should of listened to the computer. Perhaps he shouldn't of felt maddened that he still hadn't conquered Earth yet. He knew he had the brain to do this stuff, but often when the plan looked to be able to help him he was either stopped by, Dib or just by some horrible calculation. He'll just say Gir, because his ego couldn't take more of an onslaught against himself again.

It was always stupid when he announced his plan in front of Dib. He knew it was foolish, but his ego made him do it each time believing he wouldn't be able to stop him. Also as time went on with him wanting to announce it primarily in front of Gaz, he wanted to see if she would be impressed by him, but she would respond with nothing in kind or something biting to the both of them for what she believed was stupidity at its very best.

Funny how right she was there as an accidental drop onto the ground opened up some type of hole that was really a rift that sucked all three of them in. Zim was in first, followed by Dib, and when he hoped it was just them both he caught a glimpse of Gaz trying to stop herself, but failing miserably. Crying out, Zim spotted how wide the end of the hole was making himself extend his arms and legs out, but stupidly forgetting his pak legs as he braced himself once he felt the full impact of Dib's body against him followed by Gaz's lighter body.

"What the hell did you make, Zim?!"

He never heard her voice sound like that before, it actually had terror in her voice. Beyond him was flames and teeth along with a tongue stretching out to taste whatever was coming near it before snatching it and sucking it inside. Zim's eyes were transfixed as he went wild with thoughts going through his head.

"Okay, space boy! You got us into this, now get us the hell out of this! I will not have my sister and I eaten alive." Dib was yelling at him.

Growling, Zim's communication device popped out on command. "GIR! Get to these coordinates at once!"

"Ohh, but the monkey show is about to come on." Gir whined out.

"GIR! YOUR MASTER COMMANDS IT!"

"Seriously, Gir come here!" Dib added gritting his teeth.

"Ohhh is that the big headed boy?" Gir wondered.

"Yes it's him, Gir." Zim answered in a bored tone, before switching to screaming again. "NOW GIR COME HERE!"

"Hey! My head is not big." Dib whined.

Gaz felt like telling him to be quiet, but was too busy hanging on for dear life, but being the smallest and the lightest of the threesome she found herself slipping past Dib who tried to grab for her. "Dib!" She called out.

"GAZ!"

Hearing them behind them and feeling Dib scrambling to grab his sister, Zim's eyes were filled with terror the second he saw her going past him prompting him to quickly extend his spider legs out to wrap around her tiny body to bring her close to him. Examining her face he noticed her eyes had tears coming out of them. He wanted to say something, but he heard the familiar sound of Gir heading down to them.

"Hiya!" He greeted gaily.

"Gir, take Dib up with you, I'll be close behind." Zim ordered.

"Wait, what about my sister?" Dib asked.

"I'll protect her. I'll get her back up there. I have no issues with your sister. Now go!" Zim informed him. He really needed the extra weight off his body, and at least Gaz weighed like nothing so bringing her up with him won't be a problem.

Dib stared down at Gaz as if he was looking at her for the last time before he was rushed up by a squealing Gir. For Zim, he brought her closer up to his face so he can speak to her. "Gaz, can you hear me?" She nodded. "I won't let you go all the way, but I need you to wrap your arms and even your legs around my body." She looks at him with speculation. "I'm not trying to be inappropriate here, I just need you to do this so I can use my pak legs and my actual body to get us back up there."

"Don't suppose you don't want to kill this thing do you?" She finally spoke.

"I'd love to, but it would risk killing you and I will not ever want to do that to you. Please, could you do this?" Nodding her head again, she waited till he released her upper body letting her wrap around his neck and shoulders. Hearing that she had a grip there, he let go of her legs feeling her wrap around his torso. If this was any other situation where their lives weren't in danger, he would of enjoyed having this happen since it was her, and plus she was in a skirt. Shaking his head from that eternal struggle, he extended his pak legs behind him to connect to the walls behind him.

Feeling a solid connection behind him, he eased himself backwards using his pak legs to gain as much ground as necessary along with still keeping himself anchored as need be with his normal appendages. Gaz thankfully remained still and quiet. If this was her brother, he would of been all chatty and moving around like a dope. Although she did finally say to him. "You know my game slave has been eaten by that bastard you created."

"I promise you a new one, little Gaz." Not another word was said between the both of them except to hear Dib-stinks voice calling out her name. Spider legs still extended out to keep within the ground, he made his way over to his side to deposit her safely down. "Gir! Time to destroy this thing." Feeling Gir fly between his legs to pick him up, they flew down into the chasm where he readied the detonation devices. Dropping into the mouth, he ordered Gir out of there making them fly towards Dib and Gaz instantly wrapping them up in a protective shield to prevent the device from harming them.

The ground vibrated and shook underneath them making Dib and Gir issue sounds of exclamations to it while Zim and Gaz remained silent till it all passed. During the whole course of it, he glanced over at her as he watched her study the ground under them before she looked over at him. He couldn't read her look right then, he just was glad she was fine as the last of the trembling subsided leaving only car alarms sounding out in its place. Deactivating the shield, they all surveyed the area.

"What the hell, Zim?! Do you ever think before you do anything so stupid?" Dib yelled out.

"Hey! I didn't have to save your worthless stinking hide now didn't I?" Zim yelled back. "I'm fine with saving her life, but yours I could do without."

"Well I'm glad you did!" Dib still was yelling.

Giving him an odd look, Zim almost smiled. "So how hard was it for you to not say, stop looking at my sister?" He asked calmly.

"Very fucking hard!" Dib cried out waving his arms around before crossing them in front of his chest.

"We get it, you are both pretty, now shut it." Gaz spoke out softly before glancing over at Gir.

"You think, Zim's pretty? Ow!" Zim hit Dib in the arm for hitting him. "Why did you hit me?"

"Now that is for looking at my sister. She was being sarcastic, idiot!"

Gaz and Gir shrugged at one another. "Want to get some pizza? I'm starving." She asked.

"OKIE DOKIE! I get to have pizza with Gazzy!"

"Yeah but if you do anything to embarrass me I will dismantle you." She warned quietly.

Feeling another slug against his arm, Zim turned to stare him down. "What is your problem you ugly pile of stink?"

Moving closer, Dib sneered into his face as close as possible. "I'm not an idiot when it comes to how you look at her. Just because she is your enemies sister it doesn't entitle you to use her. You ever come close to her ever again or even look at her the way you do, I will examine you where you stand."

Baring all his teeth, Zim growled at him. "Anything I say to you you will never believe so do me a favor and get out of my face." As if he'd use her, but he did have yet another game device he had to get for her. How many did he have to replace so far?

Shaking himself out of his reverie as he dipped his wand into the sugary goodness of the dip, Gaz gifted him, he still had to wonder even about that one dream he had. The one he ended up marrying her. He wouldn't force her to leave, but was there an omen in that dream? Red and Purple are dead in one of the stupidest ways so Red can't harm her. Some of the dream has come true in varying ways, but he wondered will there be true harm against her? She was far more herself right now then she was in the dream where she seemed to show more of a weaker side. Soft, and still desirable, but weak. Picking up the disk she included in this gift, she told him not to look at it now, but when was he one to listen when he was so curious. Placing the disk in, he let it play to instantly show his demoness. That made him easily smile before she even spoke.

"Zim, I am not even surprised you loaded it in now since I know how you are such a curious guy after all. Anyhow, this will be a short message to you because I don't have a lot of time, and I really hate talking a lot." She said with a slight roll of her eyes. "Since you were kind enough to leave our house alone for some reason, I want you to join me for a little rendezvous. It will be just the two of us, this I swear, and since it will be pouring rain by accounts of what I'm seeing in our system above, I suggest you bathe yourself in paste. I'll see you soon, and also this isn't to tell you that I'm going with you right now, I'm just meeting up with you. Dib won't know." Without a good bye, she simply turned off the camera.

Standing up, he checked with the Computer to see if she was correct in the rain comment in which she was. Rushing to bathe himself, he dressed up, and went to see Tak in her quarters knowing she was still moping over her little failed mission. Being allowed in, he stayed where he was after the door slid closed. "I'm going down for a secret rendezvous with our Queen, if Dib finds out she has snuck out of their little hidey hole, he will search for her. That mission is still the same there. A mission you can take your sweet time with just as long as it doesn't interfere with me and just as long as you don't kill him." He paused before adding, "Although I believe you won't since you have been in heat since your encounter with him. Oh don't be surprised, I'm not the only one who noticed onboard this ship." Watching her bow her head, he smirked. "Thank Irk I'm the only one not affected by it not that I would care because you still frankly are a horrible Irken, but as a warning bathe yourself in paste since it is pouring rain down there."

"After last time... Well he wasn't receptive to me."

"What did you expect? Betrayal and all. Anyhow, good luck." Turning abruptly, Zim had no time to waste on her as he rushed off to meet his demoness.

Rushing down to her house, he landed in her backyard cloaking his cruiser making his way to their backdoor. Using his pak leg, he picked the lock entering inside to instantly hear the pattering of the water hitting the side of the house along with the clock in the kitchen ticking away. Softly, he made his way forward to scan her living room to see that no one was there. It was obvious no one had been here since that day he came. Turning towards her stairs, he spotted her wearing not a pair of pants, but a short skirt, a tank top, fingerless purple/black gloves, and her skull necklace. She seemed to take the time to do her hair for him.

"Should you be punished for opening your package early?" She whispered with a wicked grin.

"If it pleases you." He replied earning him an upturned eyebrow. "I already had to enjoy one of my fun dips."

"I'm glad." Watching him approach, she watched how he roved over her form. "I wasn't planning on running tonight, I just wanted to see this thing between us, but I know I'm not ready to leave."

"I understand." First step on the stair, he was nearly almost level to her own face. "Is this a date between us then?"

"Yes." She felt her insides respond to him already to him, she actually caught onto his own pheromone. It was so unusual. "On the risk of sounding trite, do you see anything you like?"

His face now level with her own, he lifted her up in his arms. "Yes, but I always have. Where would you like to go?"

Feeling stupidly weak against him, she kissed his neck. "The living room feels cold. Exposed." She hesitated in her answer. "My room."

Climbing the remaining stairs, he ended up in the hall noticing the still shattered remains of her security dolls on the ground. They truly haven't been here since then as he walked through her door to lay her gently down on the bed before climbing over her to get beside her. "Hope you don't mind."

She blushed wishing to punch something to get rid of this girly feeling in her. "No, just don't think that we are having sex tonight. We are here to talk and make out."

Brushing a finger along her cheek, he kissed her chin. "What would you like to talk about, little Gaz?"

This wasn't her original question, but she was curious. "I smelled you more acutely. Your pheromones."

"I smell yours as well." He grinned at her blush enjoying it. "Because you and are far more connected then before from this bite I gave you. You will be the only who receives them."

"Can you sense if any other is in heat?"

"I can't smell them anymore, thankfully, but I can sense it in the way they act and how others act around them. Tak went into full heat after her encounter with your brother. For me now that you and are solely attuned to one another and connected no one smells when you are in heat, but they do know that you are a taken woman by yours truly." He explained.

"Stupid ego of yours." She mocked as she hit him in the arm.

"Unfortunately the humans won't know about this so I may have to kill some if I find out they are hitting on what is mines."

"Too late when I always give them a severe beating or Dib warns them." Leaning her head back, she felt a bit overwhelmed at his finger brushing against her neck. "You were scared weren't you? When it came to that stupid mistake you made when you made that cavernous thing that had a huge mouth almost sucking us all in."

"I didn't care for your brother, but as for you, yes. To me, you became my priority."

"Not like that when you first thought out that plan." She pointed out.

"Not true. After falling for you, I always had that thought in mind to keep you safe from harm. It was your brother's fault for dragging you along." Leaning forward, he kissed her ear. "My Gaz's pheromones are getting stronger."

Eyes closed, she murmured out, "Shut up."

"I won't when they are all mines."

"You forced that bite on my neck."

"You kissed me first, remember." He reminding her.

Exhaling a deep breath out, she stared up at her ceiling as she now felt more oddly naked. Shifting her head to look at him, she studied him before leaning in to kiss that mouth. "Is it possible to stay the night with me, Zim?"

"Yes." He replied moving her body close to him loving her curves against him. "I love you, my demoness."

She won't respond to that, but her eyes squeezed tighter to prevent her from running away. Always something about emotions triggered this odd electrical static that shocked her insides making her want to jolt or get angry more. Gaz did enjoy how he held her though. Touched her. Something about it was both primal and secure prompting her to lean away from him showing it was fine for him to touch her more.


Dib noticed that Gaz was missing. Angry after asking anyone if they saw her he wasn't at all surprised at hearing a negative to his questions. Gaz never hampered herself with anyone's rules, but he thought she would at least bare in mind regarding anyone else's safety. Mostly her own seeing she was the primary reason the Armada was still here. Leaving his confines under the cover of darkness through their secret routes, he ended up under a grassy field that was free of any Irken around before emerging. Dib knew that both his sister and himself were wanted for two different reasons so him sneaking around he had to make sure of his stealth.

Near town, he raised up his communications device to pull up her location again to see it was still null. He was going to chew her a new one once he found her again. He also wanted to be in a nice warm cozy confines again, but here he was searching out his homicidal suicidal sister. Amazing he would do so much for her knowing she had those tendencies. Hearing thunder crackle and boom overhead along with lightening, he could of swore he saw someone else, but realized quickly it was just a bush. Making a face, he skulked ahead ending up face planted into the wet grass in front of him.

Waking up in a groggy state, he heard the constant patter of rain above him, he felt heat nearby him along with a headache and the feeling of his legs and arms not exactly free feeling. Groaning, he opened his eyes up to turn to the heat source to find a portable heater near him. It also looked like he was in a living room, but where? Trying to move his hand to get up, he found it was bound down. "What the...?" Looking to either side of him his hands were indeed staked into the ground with a piece of rope tying them. Experimenting with his legs, he found he was in the same situation there. "What now?" He asked calmly.


What now indeed, Dib?
