Ahem...anyways...Mrs. Sheriff bitch does deserve to be murdered but DAMN does she play a big part in this whole plot line...you'll see though =), Yes you may have the blood I can tap out of her, I hope you baby vampire monkeys can accept B-, that's her decided blood type =3. No zim last chapter...PLENTY of Zim THIS CHAPTER XD. I hope you enjoy my best buddy and I'll email you back in just a sec!
Infinite Reader: Hey IR! That's like short for IRK AMAZING RIGHT! LOL. I feel very sorry for Vex too, he's just a strong lil' teddy bear ain't he! God I love him so much XD. I want to hug him! Or give him a gun he can obsess over...that's always fun X3. I'm glad you like the nickname IR, it's AM-AZ-ING. Imma tellin' ya, it could stand for soooo many things like Insanely Radical, Intellectually Reasonable, Irresistibly Ruffable! LOL. SO MANY! if you liked that chapter then you gonna LOVE this chapter! MY FAV COMES BACKKKKKKk~ Ok I shouldn't have said that but whatev' it was plainly obvious...=S
Isabelle Frost!: I LOVE ROLLAR COASTERS! You lucky dog you! I like the ones that like drop you upside down for a long time before screeching you to a halt and sending you flying in a different direction. Those are freaking amazing. I LOVE THE TOWER OF TERROR! That is my absolute FAVORITE ride! MY FAVVVVVV~ Oh hell yeah, I'm gonna ride dat with Jax, Vex, and Tabitha (Can you imagine the pictures XD). LUCKY! I love invader Zim merchandise but it's all Gir, I'm not a big fan of him as much as I'm a fan of Zim...=(, the purse sounds cute though, show it off girl fran! I always felt bad when reading/writing/and editing the last chapter because neither Vex nor Axel deserve that. Especially since her 'crimes' happen MANY years ago. She just wanted to settle down and that's all Vex ever wanted, especially after losing both Cari and Tabitha so suddenly Axel was like his life line/second chance to happiness and BAM it's gone again. Can you imagine how torn up inside he is about that and how hard he tries every day to hide that? It's so sad D'X. Don't worry more is to come about Vex and Axel but alas this chapter had neither of them in it D'X. Still enjoy though my friend!

~The badass of all Brady's signing off while screaming I LOVE JAX AND XERXES MY BABEH BOYS! I wanna huggle them *dramatically cries*
Tabitha's POV.
"Ok, try that one but slower this time. Going quickly isn't going to help you heal any faster, Zim," I scorned while handing him a 60 pound weight. We were getting his muscles back into shape by now. It'd been at least two weeks since Zim woke up, he was walking pretty much all by himself now and was up to walking up most of the stairs but he still had trouble with more physical things like stretching and lifting his knees up into his chest.
Zim started lifting the weights slowly like I asked him to do but he was looking pretty tired. We'd been working late into the afternoon last night and I had yet to let up on him today, "Zim do you want to take a break?"
"No, I'll be fine," Zim grunted back while pulling the 60 pound weight up into a curl up. We were working with his weaker arm today: His left, so that's why he was lifting such little poundage. Normally he takes on 100 to 160 pound weights when doing curl ups. With Bench presses the man could take some weight, I believe his record was 485 pounds. That's nearly four times his body body weight.
We continued doing curl ups for about another fifteen minutes. I was doing curl ups too just with slightly more weight, I was fitter and stronger than Zim at the moment, also being a trained guard I had to curl up a lot of weight in my life time. Vex never let up on me when I was tired or didn't think I could continue. He just kept pushing me to do the task and told me if I wanted to reach my goal of becoming the princess's guard then this is what I had to do, so I did it.
"You know, I'd never thought I'd see the day when you can do more curl ups than me," Zim laughed and smiled over at me, "But you have an advantage."
"True, but I'm also limiting how much you take on, I don't want you to injure yourself more than you already have, you're notorious for hurting yourself, you know that, Zim?" I scoffed back and grabbed the weight from him.
"Hey! I want my weight back!" He complained and gave me an angry look.
"Look at your arm muscle," I pointed out. He looked at it and saw the veins sticking out along with the fact that it was starting to swell slightly, "You're pushing yourself too hard."
"I don't want to be weak anymore, Tabitha. I hate this, not being able to bound two stairs at a time or run a few miles. What would, Cari think if she saw me right now!" Zim argued back.
Tabitha rolled her eyes at him and flicked his antenna, "You know exactly what she'd think and it wouldn't be anything negative."
"Yeah I guess you're right," He crossed his arms and huffed before perking his antenna back up, "Hey mind if I ask you a personal question about you and Jax?" I froze. He just had to say his name didn't he?
"Shoot," I said in a tense voice. I also refused to look at Zim while he continued on with his question.
"Did he ever admit it, like just say 'I love you,' or something like that?"
I sighed and looked at the ground for a minute before getting up the courage to actually answer him, "The night before the accident he did."
"How'd he do it?" Zim asked in an excited voice. I looked over at him and raised an eye brow questioningly before he elaborated, "You have no idea how long I was trying to get him to just freaking admit it. So how'd he say it to you?"
"It was after he knocked, Vex out with a table. He was very tired and nearly asleep when he said it but he asked me to sleep in the same bed as him so I agreed and I said I needed to go change before I lay down because I was filthy. He then proceeded to just say that I didn't need to because he loved me the way I was. Then he said it again a few minutes later before passing out."
"Did he remember saying it the next morning?"
"I don't know, we got in an argument almost right away then Moon and you came along and he passed away." I answered calmly while setting the weights down on the rack. I could feel Zim's sympathetic gaze burning holes in my back making me slightly irritated but it was nice knowing he cared.
"Did you say it back?"
"No, I was too shocked to even speak. I didn't think he knew exactly what he was saying so I didn't say it back," I responded and sat on the bench press bench next to him.
"Is that your only regret?"
"No, not kissing the idiot was my only regret," I shrugged and slightly blushed at the fact I just admitted that to Zim. Usually I'd keep that to myself, best friend or not that's not something I usually like talking about.
Zim sighed and wrapped an arm around my shoulder to give me a tight hug. Even though he was sweaty and warm from working so hard, "I don't know what to tell you about that."
"Umm nothing, just get your sweaty and filthy body away from me," I growled back and shrunk away from him.
"Oh what, did you mean this?" Zim asked deviously while wrapping his other arm around me and lifting me up into the air.
"GAH, Zim you idiot put me down! You're going to hurt yourself!" I snapped while he started laughing hysterically. Oh if he wasn't injured I'd give him something to laugh about! He started to put me down but instead he made sure I couldn't get away before he started giving me a noogie, "ZIM! You dumbass let me go!"
"I'll only let you go if you can get away!" Zim teased and continued ruffling my antenna.
I flailed and clenched my teeth hating him very much at the moment, "If I get away that means you've let me go you dumbass!"
"You're only making it worse for yourself," Zim teased and pulled on my less sensitive antenna, "Say uncle!"
"I'll say uncle when I die!" I shouted back and reached up to tug on his antenna. I had to make sure not to hurt him anymore than he's already hurt but he's asking to get punched in the face right now.
"Ow!" Zim shouted, "You jerk! Now I'm never going to let you go!"
"Get your sweaty mitts off of me, Zim!" I snapped feeling his sweat starting to soak through my shirt and onto my back. It was absolutely disgusting.
"You pulled my antenna; this is how you're going to say sorry. So say it! Say uncle!" Zim shouted back playfully.
"No!"
"Say it!"
"Never!"
"SAY IT!"
"Over my dead body!"
"SAYYYY IT!"
"WHAT is going on in here?!" Someone shouted making Zim and me pause our mini wrestling match. We both looked over innocently to see Oniumare standing in the door way with her arms crossed over her chest.
"He started it!" I shouted making Zim's antenna rise and his ruby eyes widen innocently.
"No! She started it! I'm the victim here!"
"Oh that's rich, Zim!"
"Both of you shut up!" Oniumare shouted again while her antenna flattened. She looked really tired like she hadn't slept in days. There were bags under her eyes and her eyes looked a little glazed over. So she was probably going to be moody right now. Great, just what I need.
Oniumare sighed and pinched the skin in between her eyes while muttering something between the lines of, 'why me,' and 'of all people, I had to get stuck with these two.' "Ok you're both younger than me so I understand, you're in your prime but can you please try to keep it down? I was trying to get some shut eye!"
"You're only 342, you're still in your prime too," Zim commented and let me go before hip bumping me nearly to the ground, "Say it." He whispered while shooting me a look.
"Zim, you should be resting, not wrestling with, Tabitha. You need your strength," Oniumare groaned and face palmed over and over.
"But she hasn't said uncle," Zim pouted as his antenna lowered into an upset position. It was totally fake but Zim was a whiner sometimes so it made sense.
Oniumare just groaned and flicked her wrist while saying something under her breath. I snapped my head over when Zim shouted in surprise, to see him floating in the air. Oniumare directed her hand over to Zim's hospital bed where she proceeded to set him down and keep him there for a minute until he stopped struggling, "Rest, Zim. So I can rest. Then, Tabitha you can do whatever, I don't care. Just make sure the idiot gets some kind of sleep for right now."
"But I'm not tired! Zim is no smeet that needs taking care of!" Zim protested angrily. There he goes with the third person speech again. I'm going to have to beat that out of him later.
"Would you rather have me knock you out cold? I'll gladly do that too," Oni snapped and glared at Zim with tired eyes.
Zim's eyes widened in fear knowing very well she really would do that to him. He learned that the hard way a few days ago when he refused to rest like the idiot he was, "No…for now, Zim will rest."
"So much for dignity," I grumbled under my breath. Zim glared holes into my back and crossed his arms but made no further argument.
"Thank you, now I'm going back to sleep. If I wake up again because of you two I will knock both of you out and leave you on the floor to suffer back aches when you wake up." I shuddered. No good self-respecting Irken liked sleeping on the floor, let alone being unconscious on the floor and on their back. That's a sign of vulnerability and lack of pride. Plus it does give you one hell of a back ache.
"Alright, we'll try to be quiet." I said with a smug smile. I was going to make Zim pay for soaking me in his disgusting sweat.
"Thank you," Oniumare sighed before exiting the room and heading down the hall way to where she liked to sleep. Surprisingly she took up the teleporter as her resting place. She made a hammock in there and I'd often find her sleeping in there. Sometimes I've had to wake her up because of night terrors that can turn into dark magic outbursts while she's still sleeping.
I waited for a few moments before feeling something come in contact with my face. I spun around to glare at Zim and grab the small but thick notebook he chucked at my head. He glared at me with a half smirk before growling playfully, "Say it!"
Unknown POV.
'I have to get out of here! I'm going to go freaking stir crazy!' I thought angrily as I woke up for the fourth time tonight. I was sore in my chest area but I was also mad. It's been nearly three weeks since I've woken up and I still haven't been able to see the one person that I'd actually be HAPPY to see. But NOOO I was given Oniumare to see every eight hours so she could shove pills down my throat and scorn me for struggling.
I felt fine now; I just wanted to get out of here so darn it that's exactly what I was going to do. I heard Oniumare say she was going to try and rest the last time she came in here. That was nearly two hours ago if I was able to judge time right. So I had the perfect opportunity to get out and get out now.
I slowly pulled myself up into a sitting position like I've been practicing to do. Oniumare let me sit up a week or so ago and I've been working on it ever since. She was surprised at how fast I'd been able to do it on my own but she didn't complain.
I grabbed the side of the hospital bed for support before swinging one leg over and then the other. I only stopped because of the damn IV in my arm. I hated this thing so much. So angrily I pulled the tape off and removed the rather large needle from my arm. I ripped the pulse clip off my finger and took the heart monitoring pads off of my chest before continuing. The heart monitor went into a flat line and started making that annoying noise so I grabbed the plug and ripped it out of the wall. I didn't have time to deal with loud noise right now.
I started sliding off the bed until my feet touched the ground. My legs felt like jelly or like I was walking around in an Irkquake. However I was determined to get out of here, so I held the side of the bed for a long time until I started being able to move my leg fluently.
I took one clumsy step away from the bed and nearly fell over. 'Damn jelly legs,' I thought through a low growl. I hated being weak. Sadly this is also when I noticed my lack of clothing near my nether regions. I blushed even though I was alone in the room. I did not prefer being naked in a random room where anyone could walk in at any moment.
I quickly reached over and grabbed the sheet from my hospital bed before wrapping it around my lower half and tying it securely. I continued to grab hold of things to keep me balanced as I worked my way through the room to the door. By this time I was already tired and even sorer than before but that didn't matter, I wanted out of here.
I looked both ways outside of my room and decided no one was coming, so I grasped the wooden walls and started shuffling along them. I noticed another room just up ahead so I slunk over to it and peered inside. What I saw honestly shocked me. It was Zim; he was peacefully sleeping on a hospital bed much like my own.
"Huh, well that wasn't expected, I thought you died when I…died…" I mumbled under my breath. My mind buzzed again. I hated not being able to remember much, I just know that I argued with Tabitha then I died. I hardly remember anything after that. I don't even remember the day I woke up here. I just know I did.
I shook the thoughts away from my head and decided if I could get up into Zim's room and get some pants on then I'd be ok to just lie down again. So I set my mind to that and started weakly stumbling over to the stair case.
My mind blanked once I reached the stair case. When did the stairs suddenly look so big and menacing? 'They're just stairs…get a grip man,' I silent growled to myself while staring at the challenge in front of my face. I don't care if I have to crawl up these damn steps. I want at least a pair of pants for Irk's sake!
I took in a deep breath and grabbed the railing while pathetically lifting my foot up to the first stair. I then hauled myself up with the help of the railing and went for the second. All in all there was twenty four stairs. However by the time I reached the twentieth I was pretty exhausted. My muscles ached, my chest hurt from breathing hard and I felt tired again.
I leaned against the railing and panted heavily while staring at the last four stairs. Couldn't they just go away so I could be at the top already?
I stood for a few minutes wanting nothing more than to just lie down and sleep but then I wouldn't have accomplished my goal. So after taking the seven minute long rest, I started again. I tripped on the second to last stair but thankfully I caught myself with the railing and hauled my ass the rest of the way up.
Finally, I was on solid ground again. So after another 'short' break I started trying to move again. I heard someone moving around in the kitchen but I could care less who it was right now. I had a goal to accomplish.
I stumbled around until I reached the black door that marked Zim's room. Thankfully it was opened up already so I could just hobble in. The room was dark and it looked like it hadn't been used in a while because there was dust gathering on the desks and everything still looked the same from when I was here last. I think…
My gaze raked over the large room for a minute before landing on the dresser. My eyes immediately brightened with joy and I started hurriedly shuffling over to the dresser. My muscles begged me to just stop but I didn't want to, even though my veins were burning and pulsing hard from all the work, I eventually ended up making it to the dresser.
I was so relieved when I saw the drawers still had men's clothing in them. I greedily grabbed a pair of dark blue boxers, a black loose t shirt and a pair of grey sweats. Everything that'd hopefully be easy to get into.
However I obviously misjudged the meaning of easy to get into when I tried struggling into the boxers and fell on my butt about five times while trying. So I just decided to stay on the ground and work myself into the boxers that way.
Finally after maybe six or seven minutes of struggling, I got the boxers up to my waist line. By now I was panting and groaning at the fact that I was on back, on the ground, sorer than hell and unable to get back up to my feet yet.
"Ok, round two, time to get the pants on," I said through clenched teeth as I sat up and glared at the grey sweats in front of me. I might as well just walk around in boxers for Irk's sake! But that'd make me feel rather uncomfortable so I grabbed the sweats and started struggling to get them on.
I got them up to nearly my hips and by that time I was pretty much done. I just wanted to lay down now. But I made it this far…could I really give up now? Exhaling a large amount of air I grabbed the side of the dresser and started pulling myself up.
The sweats were a little bit big on me and kept drooping making me have to keep pulling them up but I didn't mind. I could tie them once I got balanced again. I got onto my knees and pulled myself up the rest of the way so I was leaning up against the dresser for support.
The pants started dropping again making me have to grab them and pull them back up. Irk this was embarrassing, even for myself and I was the only person in the room. "Ok, I'm tying you." I growled at my pants as I proceeded to tie them tight on my hips.
All that was left was the shirt. Fun. I started reaching for the shirt when I noticed something out of the corner of my eyes. I snapped my head over to see a picture that wasn't dusty yet like everything else around it was. I stared at the picture for a minute before realizing it was a picture of me!
Tabitha gave me that picture for Irksmas! I smiled at it and swiped it off the table. This was one of the most embarrassing pictures of me! But I loved it because Tabitha gave it to me and she got a good laugh out of it, which made me laugh.
Something fell out of the back of the picture that I quickly grabbed and looked at. It was a folded up piece of paper. I didn't remember ever putting paper in it…So I grabbed the piece of paper and carefully opened it to see Irken writing on it.
I let out a small laugh when I read: I approve, Love: Zim. Now I remembered this!
I was still basking in the memories of when I got this when my antenna picked up someone walking into the room. I heard something drop and break on the floor making me flinch and spin around to see who'd found me.
A/N: D8...could...could it be! Only I know~~~~ well...it's plainly obvious but whatever I still hold the glory! XD. So what did ya think?

I love connecting my characters and creating bonds and friendships and loyalties and relationships...MAKES ME WANNA CRY! Actually...my new goat, Xerxes, might end up become my next OC =D So here's more for you! Nothing bad yet, I did post this on the day I'm supposed to have the most luck~! Naw, I really hope you enjoyed and I hope you're excited for what's coming next. My only tip (Kind of a spoiler) IMAGINE you're Tabitha, Just imagine it. It's Flucking hot XD. IMAGINE You'll never regret it O.o; =D. I'll PM ya back in a heart beat =D
FRITTER CRITTER IN DA HOUSE! BASK IN THE AMAZING NEESSSSS. I posted your full review for you, signing in as a guest, so I hope that's ok with you. My friend recommended I should do it so I was like...oh ok, works for me XD. The cops are just doing their job but I agree, they were bitches, especially SHE WHO WILL NOT BE NAMED (The sheriff) I'll let you loose to destroy her house if you want 83. Can you imagine, Vex is so attached to Axel and his unborn baby, it's an indescribable amount of pain, worse then watching Tallest Blue get shot right in front of him. That's how bad it is. And remember Blue and Vex were tight. No other guard got to watch over Blue's only child, teach her how to drive and do all that stuff with her. They were like besties LOL. I hope you enjoyed Fritta and I can't wait to hear from you again! I'll reply to your PM here in a sec too!~
ANYWAYS HAPPY SAINT PATTIES DAY EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD ONE!
