(Continued from Part 1, Return of The Florpus)
With everyone on edge in this decayed world, stalked by Sinister and her beasts, our hero's will go though many challenges, learn and gain new skills, before they can return home to Earth.
"Ace, can you check on Dib? I'm gonna see how Gir's doing." Heart asked her friend, who nodded in agreement. Ace headed inside a small den, which was nearby where Ace met the others. She crawled into a small area of the cave, which was kind of like a separate room, but with no door. Sitting in the corner of the small area, was Dib. The human teen hugged his legs tightly, as he talked to himself nervously. Ace approached him slowly, but still startled him. "Hey, what's wrong? As soon as we all introduced ourselves, you came in here and haven't left since." Ace asked in concern.
"You didn't see her, but I did..." Dib replied fearfully, not even looking up at the humanoid. "She just took our friends, and then she attacked us." He added, sounding like he was tearing up. "It's true that I didn't see Sinister, but I know that she is a terrifying being." Ace replied. "Why don't we get some fresh air, it'd be good for both of us." Ace said as she offered her hand. "O-Out there!?" Dib's voice cracked. "She'll kill us all. We're all screwed!" He began shaking. "I don't want it to end like this!"
"It'll be alright, just come with me." Ace replied calmly, but Dib wouldn't budge. "N-No, p-p-please don't...!" He cried. "J-J-Just leave me alone for a bit, ok? I'm still taking in what happened before." Dib added. Ace respected his privacy and left the small area, before looking out the entrance. She saw Heart, standing behind Gir.
"You looked around the same area about six times, he's obviously not here." Heart said with her arms crossed. "B-B-But where else do I look? H-He might be hiding or something!" Gir replied worriedly. "Just look somewhere else then, he might be there." Heart replied, bending down to the small robot's level. "I looked all over the area, not just this small one!" He replied a little louder. "Yeah, but you shouldn't run off without letting me know, I was worried about you."
"Look, I'm not trying to worry you, my master's in danger!" Gir replied, before taking off his hood.

"A-A-And it's my responsibility to help him when he needs it!! Z-ZIM NEEDS ME!!!" Gir screamed as he fell to his knees, before proceeding to bawl on the ground like a five year old.
Heart stood back up and sighed as she ignored the robot's hysteric cries for a little bit, thinking he would calm down after a minute.
About ten minutes later, he was still bawling just as much as he was before, and Heart was beginning to lose it.
"ALRIGHT, JUST SHUT UP YOU STUPID DOG THING!!"
Gir stopped crying and looked up at Heart, who sighed in relief that the tantrum was over. Heart apologized for her snapping, and gently rubbed Gir on the head, making him smile.
"Would it make you feel better if I came with you to look for Zim?" Heart asked anxiously. Gir nodded and put his hood back on. "Alright, we're heading out." Heart sighed before going back to the den, where Ace was now asleep. Dib was sleeping too. Heart grinned a bit before pulling out a slip of paper. She began writing on it with her magic, before leaving the den quietly. Only to have Gir attach himself onto her arm. "Ow! You're making my arm sting!"
Gir looked up at her in confusion. "How can I be stinging you? I'm not a bee. My master is scared of bees." He replied. "It's not— ...I mean, I did get stung by a bee the other day. We have 'em on our home planet too." Heart replied with a awkward smile. Gir nuzzled her arm, before they headed off to look for Zim together.
