chapter 10
He Came In Through The Bathroom Window
- Heart of Midlothian
- the Massive: Main Chamber
"Long distance communicator, online."
"Good, contact Zim's base." Said Purple, hovering impatiently around the main chamber, his antennae twitching in annoyance.
something was up and Zim was involved, he had to be.
"My Tallest, the little defect-"
"Call Zim and obey your tallest! if you don't I will personally throw you out the airlock!" said Purple harshly at a navigator.
"Very well my tallest."
Purple continued to hover around waiting for the small irken to pick up and answer.
"- Hello?" asked a voice, an image suddenly filling the screen. it was poor quality.
was the computer locked or something?
"Skoodge? why is this thing lagging? and where's Zim, I need to talk to him. or are you in on the conspiracy too? huh? huh?" asked Purple, paranoid.
"My Tallest? what are you calling for? and what conspiracy? if there was one against you why should I care, I am a defective little Shorty too apparently, even after I stook my neck out for you ungrateful brats!"said Skoodge angrily.
"How dare you speak to your tallest that way!" shouted Purple, outraged.
"You are NOT my tallest! now what do you want? you want to see me cry and beg for you like a newborn smeet?" snarled skoodge, his antennae dropping down to a dangerous level.
"watch your tongue you fat lard! Go get Zim! He's hacking into my PAK!" shouted Purple.
"well good luck to whoever is hacking your PAK, maybe they can put a little sense into it!" hissed Skoodge.
Purple could hear the engineers, drones and navigators gasp.
"You- Never mind, tell Zim to get on NOW! He's doing something! He's in my head! I can't-"
Purple groaned in frustration.
He saw Zim standing in front of him, where was that? it looked like a white porch or staircase of some kind
"I had a friend once who told me that the worst mistake that you can make is to think you are alive, when you're really asleep in life's waiting room."
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Shouted Purple clutching his antennae.
"My Tallest you really shouldn't-"
"MY TALLEST!"
"WHAT?" Snapped Purple.
"Zim... he's in your head, to you keep seeing him, and do you keep feeling his presence somehow?" Asked Skoodge, his eyes wide with hope.
"what?" Purple lowered his hands.
"hang on... you've been feeling it to?" Asked Skoodge.
"what?" Purple then felt Zim again, this time he felt a little hurt, and tired.
"you felt it too, didn't you?" asked Skoodge.
"what's going on... where is Zim?" asked Purple.
and all he got for a response was...
Silence.
the worst mistake that you can make is to think you are alive, when you're really asleep
Earth, Streets of New York City
"ah!" Zim struggled to get back up, the rain blurring his vision and the danger approaching quickly.
what's the matter Zim?
why can't you move?
"COME BACK HERE!"
Never.
Zim, in panic, got back up and ran as fast as his legs could carry him, turning a corner and knocking over some trash cans.
"COME BACK HERE!"
Zim continued to run away from the danger that was chasing him, knocking over anything that could stop it.
He hated this place, he hated the people, he hated the humans, and he hated the world, just like the world hated him.
"DON' THINK YA CAN GET AWAY! I WILL GET YA!"
Zim whimpered as the rain hit his skin.
escape.
ESCAPE.
ESCAPE!
Tuesday 2, July.
Johnny continued to stare at the ceiling. Mildly listening to the conversation happening nearby and wondering about his little next door neighbor, what's his name...
Todd.
That was his name...
Johnny closed his eyes and started thinking about his little friend, and that bear he had.
Lying bear.
The things it said.
"Nny dear, come, I've brought you your cherry drink," said a soft voice.
"Hm?" Johnny looked up at his friend. His favorite cherry drink resting in the her pale hands.
"Thanks." he mumbled taking the drink from her.
She only smiled and walked over to a group of men sitting around a small yin-yang coffee table.
Rose.
Her name is Rose.
"you know rose you should really take more control of certain situations," said a male voice with a British accent.
Gavin.
The Brittish boy was Gavin.
"Hey, that's not fair! The other day I wanted some soup, and there was none in the apartment. What did I do? I went to the friggin' store and got some soup! If that's not taking charge of a situation I don't know what is," said the woman now known as Rose.
Johnny ignored them and continued to stare at the ceiling. He didn't know for how long though until he heard something about the rent.
"You guys gotta pay up soon," mumbled Rose.
"Psh, srew the rent, I'm buying a new guitar," said a dull voice.
Johnny yawned and tried to ignore dull voiced Tucker. That boy was always into music.
Music and girls.
"Will you stop buying guitars? You don't even play them!" said Gavin.
"Well the only one here that does know how to play a guitar is Rose, Bow chicka bow wow!" said Tucker, laughing out loud to his own double entendre.
"ugh, shut up Tucker," groaned Rose.
"Hey Rose, I heard you have a sister, Bow chicka- who's a twin! Bow wow!" said Tucker.
Johnny groaned and returned to his little game of watch the ceiling.
He was so into it he actually started to see pictures forming.
"Hey Max, MAX!" called Tucker.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?~" shouted a complaining voice, snapping Johnny out of his little trance with the ceiling.
"Come on Rose is going to tell us one of her stories," said Tucker, moving a chair so the guy known as Max could sit down.
Max.
The all out surfing American boy.
Blond.
"oh crap these are awsome," said Max.
Johnny yawned and closed his eyes, sipping on his cherry drink with a straw.
For the time being, he was just enjoying his cherry drink.
He was in a way 'free' now.
"Rose you always have these wacky adventures," said Max, opening what would probably be a soda or beer can.
"Peh, tell me about it," said Rose chuckling "I have so many stories, I could probably write a book about it."
Johnny smiled a little as he heard Rose sigh, the funny thing was, she was only twenty one and she had probably done more crazy things than a regular hung-over twenty one year old bachelor would have.
Johnny sometimes questioned whether or not her stories were true, but he did know one thing. they were entertaining.
"okay, I was actually with a guy when he was struck by lightning, my friends and I were driving from Alabama to uh, new Orleans and it started raining." said Rose.
Johnny could already hear the some laughter.
" and lightning actually struck near my car and we were like "ahhh!" and we swerved, I lost control of my car and I drove it into a ditch, and my friends and I get out and I freaking hitchhiked to a gas station and I go up to the counter thing and I go "hey I just wrecked my car" and I need to get a tow from this guy and he goes, " I don't go out in the rain, I've had bad times," and I was like, " I don't know what that means, but seriously sir it's your job you gotta help me" and uh, he goes "Fuh.." you know that frustrated sigh?" said Rose.
"I can imagine this guy being the typical manly tow truck man, jeez," said Tucker
"and he was you know with his little bass pro hat and his huge beard!"said Rose laughing.
"hahaha! watch him have like, on the wall like the tow-mans creed," laughed Gavin
"Ha I can see that you know always wear a hat, ya gotta help stupid teens. Even if it's raining," said Max
"Kill templars," said Rose causing the room to burst into laughter.
"So moving on, this guy, he goes and he gets in his tow truck and I get into his tow truck and I ask "so, why do you hate the bad weather so much?" and he goes " my sisters kid got struck by lightning at the beach," and I go "oh wow, dude I'm so sorry is she okay?" and he was like "NOPE." and I go "well, you know what they say lighting never strikes twice in the same place!" and he goes, "my brother got killed by lighting."
As soon as Rose finished her sentence the room burst with laughter.
"Dude you HAD to ask, man I feel so sorry for that guy but you had it coming Rose!" laughed Max.
Even Johnny had to snicker.
"shut up, so I go, "oh, okay," and that shut me up and then were driving down to where my car was and my car is gone. The water took it down and now all you can see from my car is uh, a little bit of the roof and the antenna that had like a jack in a box ball or something," said Rose.
'That is totally something Rose would have…' though Johnny, taking another sip at his drink.
the people laughed.
"but eventually he's able to pull the car out of this huge ditch, then he goes to like, move the cable, and fucking lighting strikes, right there and all of a sudden I hear the guy scream and he's on the ground holding his arm like, his right shoulder, it didn't hit him, but it hit so close I guess it charged all the freakin' metal around it, he gets up and he just looks at me like with the maddest eyes ever," said Rose, nervously laughing as she remembered the look the supposed man gave her
"i'm surprised he didn't electro punch you there," said Gavin.
The room started laughing again.
"and the guy just starts walking away from my car and I walk up to him and i go " how much do i owe you sir, how much do i owe you?" and he just looks at me and I'm holding my wallet out and he put his hand in my wallet and took every bit of money that i had in there and just walked away with it!" said Rose laughing, "he took two hundred dollars!"
everyone in the room including Johnny either chuckled or laughed at Rose's story.
"AHHHHH!"
The room suddenly tensed.
"what the hell was that?" asked Rose.
"I don't know. Hey Nny, can you look out the window please?" asked Gavin.
Rose then ran to her room mumbling something about a baton.
Johnny stood up from the couch and set his cherry drink down on a coffee table, as he did so a small boy suddenly appeared by the bathroom window, hitting his head on the frame and falling into the tub.
"OW!" he cried getting up quickly and crawling out of the tub, his skin was burnt and it looked as if it were smoking somehow.
The boy had funny looking green skin, with no nose or ears for that matter, maybe it was a skin condition? He had on a long black coat and a fedora that covered his messy hair and somewhat hid his big blue eyes.
"hello, hello, who are you?" asked Gavin, getting up from his chair.
The boy looked up in shock, holding on to the hat that was on his head.
A little grey fedora.
"Zim," he said with his eyes wide.
"and uh, where are you from Zim?" asked Tucker.
Zim shook his head and sighed.
"No where," he said sadly.
"and uh, before no where?" asked Tucker.
Zim sighed and waved his hand.
"Ohio, and I was living with this couple, a few blocks from here one of them is a drug addict," said Zim with a sigh.
Johnny then walked over to the bathroom and looked around a few cabinets.
"did the junkie do that to you?" asked Gavin, referring to Zim's black eye.
"Hmph, what can Zim say," said Zim.
"Dammit this neighborhood keeps getting worse!"
Rose came back in, a long black baton wielded in her hand, she was about to strike when she noticed that Zim was only a child.
"where'd he come from?" she asked with a soft smile.
"he came in through the bathroom window," said Johnny handing Zim a towel.
"thanks," Zim whispered.
The group of people he just found. who were they?
The apartment which he just crawled into was... strange, just like the city.
The walls had writing on it, certain random things such as " how's it goin' BURNIE?" "HELLO." "STOP MAKING BABIES" and "FIST PUMP!" all of them written in a style or upside down.
The people inside were even stranger.
There was a man named Gavin, he was from this weird place called London. He had a funny accent, he sounded a little like Tak, only he was human, taller, paler than normal, with long black hair that reached his ears, kind of like one of those Beatle singers and deep black eyes.
The other was named Johnny, but for some reason everybody called him 'Nny', boy was he skinny, and tall and pale, with black eyes and a mess of hair.
weirdest, scariest and most aggressive one of all.
(AN-like in the comic only without the new haircut.)
The third man was really dark skinned and had jet black hair with light brown eyes, he was really skinny and tall, his name was Tucker.
He was called black or Afreecan-Amereecan.
He was like Spork in a way
the fourth man was named Max, he was rather built and tan, with large blue eyes and dark blond hair, what was it called? oh right, it was called dirty blond.
The fifth person shocked Zim the most.
She was his favorite
her name was Rose.
She was like Miyuki.
Mia bella.
The woman was very tiny compared to the men, short enough for Zim to hug her waist, tall enough for looking at someone in the eyes.
She was pale, too pale, with long waist length red hair, and big blue eyes, like a character from a Japanese animation.
She was… what was it… uhh Hee- span-nick?
second weirdest, but the kindest.
"what's your name?" was the first thing she asked.
"what?" asked Zim.
"Name? Nombre?" she said, placing her hands on her hips, waiting for Zim to answer.
"Zim," said the irken looking up at the woman with wide eyes.
"hmmm, Zim…" she repeated.
"I know that look, your thinking of taking him in aren't you?" asked Johnny, glaring at the female.
"Well why not? thats how I got all of you?" she said, "besides, remember what I always say about helping others."
The men groaned.
"Typical Rose," sighed Gavin.
"welcome to the family," said Max, lifting up a can of beer.
Who knew that these people actually…
Phew, well I'm ending it there, I am so not writing anymore, so enjoy the update, and here is the preview! Its a work in progress on Megamind.
This was actually my mans idea, but I'm not 100% sure I'll do it sooooo hopefully.
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!
Assure a Smile (title is in progress)
"So tell me, why do you love Metro Man?"
"W-what?"
"Not the love for another, I'm talking about why you accept him. Why do you all love Metro Man? Why does Smallvile adore Superman?"
"What are you talking about? they're heroes, of course we accept him!"
"Your wrong Roxanne. Why do you hate Megamind? Why do you love Metro Man?"
"I just said it, we all hate Megamind because he is a villan, Metro Man is the hero! That-"
"Wrong. What if Megamind were the hero? what if both sides were neutral? what if Megs had a better childhood? Don't you know that your precious little hero actually caused Megamind to become what he is now? Did you?"
"I-"
"Of course you didn't, because from the very begining you judged him. Why? because he was different. Every sentient and wise creature believes that their species is the best, beleiving that everyother is infirior, including themselves. Avatar? District 9? Humans are supirior and deserve equality? Fantastic Planet? All of you are human correct? Then why is it that 'White Men' segragated 'Colored People'? Why did the Hutu and the Tootsies suddenly clash? Why? Because they were different. Humanity is so based on judgement and fear, on supiriority that you even put yourselves down. All of you are young, ignorant and violent creatures, you have much to learn. Back then, If a 'White' woman loved a 'Colored' man, it would be considered a sin. So now, if I were to say that I love Megamind, I would be cast out, like a leper, because he is an alien, because he is different. Despite the fact that he is just as 'human' and you and I are. So what of Metro Man? He is alien too. An alien with powers I might add. So I ask again,why do you love such a dangerous creature? "
"I..I"
"At a loss of words miss Ritchie? Hmph. It all comes back down to supiriority. To the fact that you humans like things that look like you. Tell me why is it that certain couples sometimes look like siblings or look like each other?"
Roxane shook her head.
"I- I don't know."
"Because, we are all, secretly narcissist. If something acts human, if something looks human, then to love that thing or person, is not a sin."
"y-your wrong!"
"Am I? Why do you love Metro Man, why do you accept him in public? Would you accept him if he were green and tiny? with little antennae?"
Roxane didn't respond.
"The reason why you love Metro Man is because he LOOKs human, he acts human, and he is basically a god that protects you. When this city no longer needs him, he will be cast off. Like Megs. But then again, this is just opinion and ideas that I have. I am entitled to it. So what do you think about all of this?"
"I think you spend way to much time with yourself."
"That is true, but I also think I spend too much time around books, when that happens you formulate all sorts of ideas, but then again, this was just an opinion. It doesnt mean it's true."
"Like I said, way to much time."
Okay you guys Please tell me what you think!
LOVE
SAKIKO!
