Chapter 6

"So wait how did my computers get fixed yesterday?" Zim asked me as we destroyed the pitiful excuse for a camera that Dib planted in his house. I pressed a few buttons on my watch and a shield for my face was momentarily visible, before turning invisible. I raised the sledge hammer stopped suddenly.

"Well, when I landed and tracked down your house, I also found out that the computers were shut down because of me. So I did some quick repairs to the main computer and rebooted it so that everything would be functioning properly by the time you returned home," I told him before starting to move my arm downwards in an arch towards the offending piece of technology.

Suddenly about two thirds of the way there, I got a brilliant idea and stopped inches away from my original target.

"Wait…I have another idea of what we should do with this camera…" I said with a smirk growing on my face.

"What? Should we blow it up?" Zim asked confused and I shook my head. I picked up the camera being sure to cover the lenses in case Dib decided to turn it on. I whispered my plan to Zim and an evil grin crossed his face. It will be just as it was when we were smeets, pulling tricks on the soldiers to annoy them.

We put on our disguises and set off towards the Dib-beasts house which Zim led the way to. Before we left we put GIR and MIR on leashes and took them with us so we would have a back up to fall on if we ran into the Dib-human. However on our way there we happened to run into the very boy we were trying to avoid himself: Dib.

We stopped and I put my hands behind my back, allowing my pak to take in the foreign object I was pressing into it. When the camera was gone I returned my hands to my front and set them on my hips, smiling kindly. Zim however was turning a darker shade of green and shaking slightly with his fists clenched. However he didn't truly look Dib in the eye. Dib as well was seemingly avoiding Zim's gaze as best he could and looked at me instead.

"Hello Gin, what are you two up to?" he asked suspiciously and again I smiled.

"Zim told me that walking your pets was a very normal thing to do around here, so I decided to take MIR out for a walk to 'blend in' with you humans". We were talking about the empire and our pasts," I told him and he nodded, seemingly understanding. He did trust me, for the most part, but I could still sense distrust. That's understandable but it's getting slightly annoying. I'm just glad he actually bought my 'walking GIR and MIR' story.

"Alright then, see you later!" He said with a wink to me and continued on his way…hm, are all earth males this…ignorant and flamboyant?

"He will be following us right about now, and I'm sure that he won't follow us until we go back to our bases. And when we do that he is more than likely going to go and turn on his camera," Zim stated quietly and when I turned back I saw Dib with his hands in his pockets looking the other way and whistling.

"I see…computer, I want you to guard my base and do not let any intruders inside. And…reject any human technology attempting to be installed into your system, thank you!" I said into my watch that was connected to my home computer.

We pretended to turn round a corner before using cloaking devices so that we would no longer be seen by the human stalker. He ran right past us and I smirked at his retreating backside. We continued the rest of the way to Dib's house and climbed up a tree. Not just any tree however. Zim told me that this tree was conveniently placed just outside Dib's bedroom and had a perfect view of the inside. When asked how he knew this Zim simply told me he spied on Dib a lot so that he could pinpoint his weaknesses. A pretty good reason even I must say.

We positioned the camera on the tree so that it would view into the room. Now next time Dib turned on his cameras he would have a wonderful view…of himself. It was a pretty good prank if I do say so myself hahaha.

Just then we saw Dib returning to his home looking disappointed and slightly singed. Looks like he attempted to break into my base after all. Silly human, you cannot invade the ingenious base of GIN!

He entered the house and a few minutes later we heard him shouting about aliens to a person named Gaz. After that we saw him enter his room and in a huff sit at his desk. He switched on his computer and clicked a few buttons. On his computer screen we then saw what we had been waiting for the entire time: a perfect view of him sitting at his desk.

He emitted a very high pitched noise and scrambled away from his desk. Falling over the back of the chair and landing on the floor in the process. His head turned from left to right, before looking out the window. He couldn't see us of course but I still didn't risk moving. The terrified look on his face was priceless and I felt my squeedly-spooch hurting from my attempts not to laugh as loudly as possible. I suddenly heard a soft thump when I looked down I saw Zim rolling around on the floor laughing as hard as he pleased. After that I couldn't resist laughing too and soon fell out of the tree with him, taking the camera with me. The fall caused both our cloaking devices to shut off and now we were highly visible. The camera lay on its side next to us filming our uncontrolled laughter. GIR and MIR soon joined us in our laughter and were rolling on their backs screaming with joy.

I saw Dib come to the window looking embarrassed and slightly annoyed at us.

"Really? You guys are acting like ten year olds!" he shouted at us which only provoked us to laugh even harder than before.

"Get out of my yard!" he screamed, clearly irritated and we complied getting up and leaving the yard. GIR and MIR trailing behind us we walked back to our bases and stood in front of Zim's house.

"Well, I will see you tomorrow at the DISGUSTING high skool," I said to him and he smiled at me.

"Yes I indeed shall see you GIN! And uh…one more thing…" he said quietly.

"Yes Zim?" I asked curious as to why he was being quiet. Before when we were talking he had been loud enough to wake the deceased. Another one of the qualities he has always had haha.

"I…had FUN today. And…I'm overjoyed to see you again," he said and I could see it was slightly difficult for him to say it, because it was a lot of emotion. Not to mention he was already questioning being a defect.

"I did too Zim…I really did," I said and we smiled parting ways. I smiled to myself once MIR and I were inside the base. This planet might not be SO bad…I mean, I have my best friend here with me.
