Jacklynn scurried her way down the stairs, luckily they were only on the second floor, so by the time she realized that she didn't know where to go, the first door she tried led to the livingroom.

Gaz gave her a curious look.

"What happened? You're...damn near glowing."

Her cheeks burned more and she pionted to the ceiling.

"Um...he uh...Zim says he'll take you home. It's late, not safe."

"Okaaaayyyy...well that's nice of him, but that doesn't answer my question Jack." Gaz said, laughter barely hidden in her voice. Jacklynn busied herself with cleaning up the coffee table.

"Nothing, nothing happened. "

" He was jacking off wasn't he?'

Jacklynn clumsily dropped the things she had grabbed, and scurried around trying to get them. Her third time dropping her homework, she groaned and threw the stuff onto the couch.

"Yeah, he was jacking off...I dropped down right in the middle of it. Now hes going to have four blue balls!"

Gaz fought back a laugh, making it come out almost as a snort.

"Well...How big was it?"

Jacklynn looked at her wide eyed.

"Gaz!...It was fucking massive! He'll kill me with that thing! There's no way!"

Gaz laughed, tears coming to her eyes.

"It isnt funny Gaz!"

"you dont see it now...but its a little funny Jack. So what happened?'

"Ugh, well while that is happening, I plop down from the tube, realize what's going on and immediately turn around. He got up to make sure I was ok I guess, and then he tells me to come down here and have us wait for him..."

"...and?"

"Well, he kissed my forehead then patted me on the butt as i went to leave"

Gaz was trying so hard not to laugh.

"That's...sweet I guess. It's boyfriend-y behavior."

Jacklynn sighed and slumped onto the couch, only to jump a second later as Zim was deposited from a transit tube. He stood, disguise engaged, straightening a fresh red uniform and adjusting his watch.

"Jack Lynn, are you ok?"

"Yeah, just startled me is all. Should I lead the way?"

Zim frowned slightly.

"I...do not think you should drive Jack Lynn."

"Well, i figured we'd be walking...but I'm not leting you drive my car Zim."

Zim chuckled and shook his head.

"No, no Jack Lynn. We will take my voot cruiser."

Gaz's face split into an ear to ear grin and she started emmiting a continuous small squeel that Jacklynn was pretty certain had never happened before.

"Oh...ok..." She said nervously.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Zim

Zim noted that Jack Lynn was nervous...but she would have to become aquainted with this type of travel at some point, and he had essentially promised Gaz a ride earlier. A short flight should be an easy enough compromise.

He had the computer take them up to the voot hanger at the top of the house. The cruiser sat there, repairs complete. He approached the cruiser and it scanned him before opening, recognizing him as the owner.

"Once you learn to drive Jack Lynn, I will build you your own. The hanger can fit one more cruiser, or I can build a gar-age in the back."

"Who said I want to drive this thing!?"

"If you don't, I will!" Gaz chirped.

Zim chuckled to himself as he took the helm and waited for the females to hop in. Once inside, they searched the seats for something.

"What is it?"

"Where...are there seatbelts?"

"They only engage in hyperdrive, warp speed, ir in case of an attack. No worries, you are perfectly safe. I will protect you."

He was pleased to hear a quiet purr soming from Jack Lynn before she cut it off with a blush.

Engaging the engine, the voot came to life with the soft hum of the power core. Zim pressed a button on the ceiling, which made the AI respond.

"Cloaking engaged"

He pressed another and the ceiling began to split in two and open, the night sky full of stars above.

"Cloaking...that means no one can see us right?"

Jack lynn asked as she scooted closer to Zim, looking out the windshield as they began rising.

"Yes, we are invisable to anyone outside of the voot. No worries...I can make the floor invisible too if you like?"

"Wait...so we can see through the floor!?" Gaz said in pure excitement. "Jack please!?"

Jack Lynn whimpered and wrapped her arms around Zim's arm. He purred and freed his arm, pulling her to his side instead. He drsped his arm over her, using his hand to stroke her hair as he flipped a switch with the other and drove higher into the air above the house.

"Holy shit this is so cool!" Gaz squeeled. They could see the roof of the house closing under them, and Zim advanced forward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Jacklynn

"Jack Lynn, open your eyes. You are safe, I promise."

She peeked out from under his arm and looked out around her...the voot was so smooth that she barely felt any movement.

She swallowed the lump in her throat and focused on her breathing...this... wasn't so bad...the city was actually kind of pretty from up here. She looked to Gaz who was bouncing in her seat, her face glued to the glass in excitement.

"Jack Lynn...are you ok?"

She turned to Zim and nodded, settling back against him a bit more calmly. He felt good against her, his torso warm and solid...and damn he smelled good...she found herself nuzzleing into him without meaning to.

He started to rumble low in his chest and she blushed.

"There's my house right there Zim...can you land in the back yard? I know nobody can see, and Dib is probably in jail, but I'll know that i got dropped off by an alien spacecraft right in our back yard and he missed it!" Gaz gloated merrily.

Zim chuckled as he lowered the voot to her yard.

Gaz hopped out, and gave Jacklynn a look.

"You guys good tonight? If you need anything youve got my number."

Jacklynn smiled. "What i need is to know what the hell happened with your brother. Tell your dad I said hi."

"Will do, thanks for the lift Zim"

"None of the problems Gaz."

Jacklynn snickered at that, saking her head.

"We'll...work on that Zim."

With that, they rose back into the air.
