Chapter 3

Calm yourself, I don't like the Irken trust me. I may be gay and he may be attractive for an alien but he is still my enemy and I feel nothing but hate for him. No I'm simply going to miss our battle for the world. It's been going on for so long it just seems natural now; I can imagine not fighting him. Oh well, I mean a world with no Zim is a world with more happiness.

"What are you thinking about Dib-hyuman?" Gin asked and I jumped at the sound of her voice. I had been pretty lost in my thoughts it must have bothered her.

"I was just thinking about what it would be like with no Zim…it's a good thing for the fate of the world and I hate him…but I guess I'm still going to miss the fighting aspect of it all," I sighed and she stared at me.

"You say you hate him Dib-thing but…you still seem to feel other emotions for him do you not?" she asked and I looked at her seriously.

"Trust me, I hate him and would love nothing more than to see him on an autopsy table. It is true I find him slightly attractive but that's only physically. You Irkens are slightly beautiful in a strange way…" I said and she smiled.

"Thank you, I am sorry that I cannot return the compliment however. You humans are…quite odd looking," she said with a sympathetic look and I chuckled.

"Eh your opinion I suppose," I said and she laughed.

"You amuse me Dib-hyuman. I believe we can become friends," she stated and I stared in awe. She really was a unique Irken. Friends with a human… Unheard of!

"And because friends look out for each other I will give you this advice. You claim to hate Zim, and I can see in your eyes that you indeed do along with some other emotions. However love and hate are two very similar emotions and it takes but a single action to turn one into the other. Who knows when they become the same thing…" she continued and I was confused.

I didn't think Irkens felt things such as love and kindness. I thought all they knew was hate and anger. Gin is a smart Irken, and probably the most human out of all of them.

After that Gina and I decided to wait for the end of the class period. We spoke about our lives and I learned a lot about her.

She was born around the same time as Zim and they ended up in the same training classes, which is how they met. They were worst enemies at first but soon grew close because no one really liked them. They needed to stick together to make it on their planet which is exactly what they did. When Gin learned of Zim's banishment she was forced to continue as an Invader alone. She was constantly ridiculed and pushed around without him. When they were together they would defend each other. When Gin had finally had enough of the Empire she stole some technology and set out to find Zim. She finally made it here and now here we are.

"Wow…you and Zim were pretty close huh? I've never heard of you before…" I said and she smiled sadly.

"Yes but why would he? If he were to speak of loved ones he would be revealing weakness. He probably felt it was information you could use against him, and he didn't want to appear weak to the enemy," she stated and I nodded; it made sense.

Just then the bell rang and students started entering the courtyard. A few of them stared at us in our corner so we decided to leave. And by leave I mean leave the school. Gin was planning on surprising Zim when he arrived at his home today so she said she was getting it ready. Once we arrived at Zim's house we parted ways. As I was leaving the street I noticed there was a new house on the street. It was two houses away from Zim's and standing new and proud. Gin went there first and looked around before entering. It was purple colored with some fake cats in the front. I heard someone screeching inside that wasn't Gin though and got a little confused as to who it could be.

Gin came back out of her house with a robot that had blue eyes. It looked just like GIR and even sounded like him only with a slightly deeper voice. So she had a dysfunctional robot too? Gin turned to look at her SIR unit and rolled her eyes.

"MIR put your costume on please!"She said to him (I'm guessing it's a him from the voice) and he nodded.

"Okey dokey!" he yelled and put on a cat costume. He looked just like GIR only in cat form.

"Oh my tallest…I think I got dysfunctional Irken technology…" she said and I chuckled. She turned and noticed I was still there and looked surprised.

"Dib-thing, what are you still doing here?" she asked slightly annoyed.

"I'm sorry, your just so much like Zim it isn't even funny. I hope you know that he has a SIR unit just like yours named GIR. He really likes tacos, and will let you into the house without a problem," I told her and she looked confused.

"What are tack-ohs?" she asked and I facepalmed. Of course she wouldn't know what a taco is.

"It's a human food…oh and by the way, some advice to you. Stay away from a transparent liquid named water. It will burn you and possibly kill you…that is unless you bathe in paste. If you want to know what that is then ask Zim," I said to her and she nodded. She waved at me and continued to Zim's house knocking on the door and having it answered by GIR. He greeted her and let her inside when she asked. I smiled and continued on to my house.

It was time to go watch this action from the cameras I had hidden in Zim's house…What? You can never completely trust an Irken…
