(A/N: Goshes golly gee! Chapter huit already! In case you haven't noticed, I speak French. Well, onto the story!)
The next day was Sunday. This may have been hard to believe, but by now, Zim and Tak could ACTUALLY stand each being near other! Well, for a few minutes. And by now, Tak had reached her limit.
She and Zim were SUPPOSED to be looking for her ship, but Zim had brought GIR along and forced them to stop at Hurt Park so he could walk him. It was cutting majorly into their search time. Tak sat upon a park bench, waiting for them to come back around.
"Tak!" she heard a familiar voice call. She turned her head right and saw Dib running towards her. She panicked a bit. If Dib saw her here with Zim, he would know something was going on between them! Their "alliance"!
"Tak, hi!" greeted Dib, slowing down.
"Hello, Dib...!"
"You haven't been in Skool for the past couple of days. Are you alright?" he asked her.
"Uh, yeah, just...settling into my new base..." she trailed off. Dib nodded knowingly.
"Hey, are you busy right now?"
"Not particularly."
"Do you wanna...go somewhere? With me?"
Tak's eyes widened.
"I mean, to look for your ship, or...whatever..." Dib continued.
"Er..."
"What is ZIM doing here?" Dib pointed at him and fixed him with a glare. He and GIR were making their way around the fountain.
"Excuse me for a second," said Tak, hopping off of the bench. She dashed over to Zim and tackled him into a bush. Being pulled by his leash, GIR also fell in.
"What are you doing?!" Zim asked her angrily. Tak ducked down lower into the bush."And, GUH, why are you getting so close?!"
"Keep your voice down!" she shushed him."Dib is close by!"
"The Dib?" Zim was able to pull himself over Tak so that he could peek out of the shrub. Sure enough, Dib was near that bench not too far away. Luckily, he couldn't see Zim among the green leaves.
"UGH!" groaned Tak, her body being pushed down by Zim's. She shoved him off of her."NOW who's getting so close?!"
"Now who needs to keep their voice down?!" Zim shot back.
"Look, I'm going to go and look for my ship with Dib now."
"What?! Why?!"
"Because he asked POLITELY, and, well, I haven't really had a chance to spend time with him since I got here!" When she looked at Zim, he was giving her that "really?" face. She groaned and stood."I don't know what your problem is..."
"ZIM HAS NO PROBLEM!" Zim yelled after her.
Tak waved at Dib as she approached him.
"Hi, sorry about that. Zim has been...stalking me a lot lately."
"Oh...let me know if he gives you trouble," Dib told her. Tak nodded. The two began to exit the park."Hey, do you mind if we make a few stops on the way?"
Zim was unable to hear Tak's answer to that question as he popped out of the bush.
"GOODNESS AND GRACIOUS AND GREAT BALLS OF DOOKIE, THEY'RE LEAVING!" he exclaimed.
"So?" GIR asked nonchalantly. He was still lying in the bush. Zim stared at him for a bit before continuing.
"What could Dib possibly want to do with Tak? He knows she's Irken, the idiotic big-head child!...I should see what he's up to!"
"We gonna follow them?!"
"Yes, GIR!" Zim slid out of the bush."Follow your master!"
(A/N: Ugh, REALLY sorry that that was SO short and took SO long! I just started high school and haven't really been on the internet a lot! But don't fret! The chapter neuf is in progress, and it'll be much better. Remember, I appreciate you. Mostly your reviews. Plus, I'm working on ANOTHER Adventure Time one-shot, so check that out when it's done...uh...au revoir.)
