Chapter 12: Leaving Earth

Fleeing his way out if the lab not wanting to instigate more rage than he wanted out of the irken. Dib was soon limping his way out to Zim's front lawn, "What is she thinking? She's gonna get herself killed, and she's the first real friend I've had in...well., my whole life." His eyebrows furrowed and he looked back at the greenish building that housed his mortal enemy. The one he was protecting the stupid world from, the one he should have been protecting you from...now.

"What am I doing!? I shouldn't have left (Y/n) in there! This wasn't the first time Zim's nearly killed me. Sure, it was one of the more terrific ones he'd managed, but it surely won't be the last! I need to save her from this!...and I'm speaking out loud to myself again..."

After your moment of laughter at Zims remark, Zim suddenly snapped back to himself, one of his mood swings you assumed. His eyes had a look of pure determination (I swear to god I can't use that word without someone saying UNDERTALE REFERANCE!!) He spoke with his signature egotistical tone,

"Tha almighty Zim is to be taken seriously humna! Now! Head to your house unit (Y/n)-pig! Prepare yourself for your upcoming journey with glorious me! I will come by your house in my voot crusier to retrieve you." His hand pointed up up to the ceiling in a triumphent way.

"Wait, this is happening tonight?"

"Of course! You should've expected this!" You sighed, there wasn't much else you could do. You started your way out of the lab but turned back, "Alright, what time should I expect you?" He looked toward you with a blank expression and shrugged,

"I don't know, 10:00 or something?"

"Fine."

You ran back to the elevator and sent one last wave to him as it moved up toward the surface. Once you emerged out of the trashcan you were greeted to the sight of GIR making waffles, he looked toward you with a goofy grin with his tongue sticking out the side of his mouth.

"Hiya! I made waffles! Want sooooome?!" He hopped off his stool he was standing on with a plate full of waffles. You still felt slightly full from the pizza but the smell was just too inviting,

"Uh sure, thanks GIR." You took one off the jutting stack and sunk you teeth into it, but instead of the sweet tasting waffle, you tasted something bitter that you reconized as-

*hic*

You watched in awe and concern when a bubble floated out of your mouth, you watched as it floated up to the ceiling and burst with a pop. You thought that only happened in cartoons? Well, anything can happen in fanfiction! You glanced down at the robot as he stared blankly at you,

"Um, GIR? Did you put soap in these?"

"Yeah! It's my secret recipe, do ya like it?!" You saw the hopeful glint in his cyan eyes. You smiled and nodded, not wanting to upset the little cutie.

"It tastes great, GIR, but you know who would really like these?"

"Who?!"

"Zim, he's probably starving from all the work he been through today! You should bring him some." You gestured to the trash can. He started cackling and sprinted to the elevator, you chuckled as you heard Zim hollaring from in the lab.

By the time you made it home it was seven, you got out your house key, but before you even got your key in the door, it swung open as you were greeted with your angry mother.

"Where the hell were you?!" you cringed at her yelling, you haven't seen her this furious in a long time.

"At a friends.." you mumbled, you saw her face soften,

"Oh! You made a friend already? What's her name?"

"Um, his name is Zim." You tensed as you saw her expression go blank before going into a playful grin.

"Ooooh, a boy. Well, you two know to be careful with-"

"MOM NO! ABORT MISSION!" You covered your ears and ran up to your room with a red face, You sighed as you sat on your bed, you looked at your clock and decided to pack yourself up for your space trip with your death row partner. You were actually excited for this, who else would get to go up into space and be in an extraterrestrial war. But at the same time you were terrified, you were to be judged as well as Zim if you could keep your lives. With how Zim whole race feels about him, you had no doubts that you were gonna die, in front of the entire Irken population. You grabbed your back pack and filled it with two outfits, you figured thats all you were going to need if you failed. You walked over to your window and glanced up at the stars, knowing in hours you would be flying through them in a space ship.

Zim was wheezing as he finally got GIR to stop chasing him with those accursed waffles, it wasn't the first time he thought what the tallest were thinking when they gave him that insane cyborg. He had gathered up some tools to make some modifications to his Voot cruiser, no doubt The Massive was hundreds of thousands of lightyears away. If he and yourself were going to make it he had to do some improvments to his earthly equivilent to an engine. He couldn't keep his eyes of the clock as he worked, the trial was a few days away, he only hoped you knew what you were doing. he felt a bead of sweat travel down his cheek.

While he was distracted, he didn't notice Dib watching him from behind a piece of his machinary. But something puzzled Dib, he noticed the anxious look on Zims face, the sweat and his heavy breathing made him question,

'Huh, does the all powerful Zim actually get scared?' He raised and eyebrow, why was he so shaken up? Dib would've thought with Zim's arrogance, Zim would've believed he'd get out if this alive. Dib noticed him finishing up his work and put away his tools. When he had the opportunity, he snuck into the crusier hiding behing the seat in the cargo hold. Zim hopped in soon after.

"Come GIR, We must retrieve the (Y/n)-human and be on our way to the Irken armada!" He shouted, with more confidence then he actually had at the moment.

"WAAAAHOOOO!!!" The little robot rocketed to Zims side and the cosmic windshield sealed shut, the engines roared to life and the crusier sped away to your residence.

You laid on your bed in the dark, your mother and father had already went to bed for the night, the moonlight from outside shined down onto your face. you opened your eyes when you noticed a silouette block out the light, you grabbed your backpack and opened the window to see Zims ship hovering in front of you. The glass slid up and Zim offered his three fingered hand out to you, the moonlight shown onto him in a way that made him look threatening, yet ethereal. He only spoke two words and it was without the emphasizing confidence Zim added to his speech.

"Let's go."

You took his hand and he hoisted you into the ship next to him, the glass sealed the two of you in and the ship took of out of Earth's atmosphere, into the starry night sky.
