Chapter 6 - finally fine

chapter6

At the end of the play everyone jumped up and cheered even Gir woke up and clapped loudly.the three of them went back stage to congradulate her.
"that was great Gaz" Dib said to her
"a play worthy of Zim" Zim said
"i liked the popcorn" Gir yelled
Gaz nodded trying to act like she didn't care "it was nothing" she said

Dib and Zim walked out and sat on the stairs waiting for Gaz and Gir who went back in to get her things. It was pretty dark outside when Zims coach drove up in his car
"there you are" he said "we won"
He jumped out and walked over to Zim " you gave us a big lead ya know" he said "i see your looking much beter, how is your leg"
"oh my leg" Zim said "still hurts pretty bad but i should be able to walk again soon".Dib gave Zim a look as he rubbed his knee
"good good" the coach said "our next game is in two weeks so rest up" with that he got back in his car and drove away
"we won" Zim said to himself smiling

Gaz and Gir walked out and Zim and Dib stood up "so" she said "how did your game go "
Zim and Dib looked stunned "how did you know about the game"Zim asked
"i heard one of your teammates mention it this morning at breakfast" she answered "besides i do go to this school too and i am aware of certain events"
"why didn't you say anything"Dib asked.Gaz shrugged her shoulders "it was Zims decision to make".She then rubbed her arms from the cold and Zim gently layed his jaket over her.
"thanks" she said "i'll give it back when we get to my house"
Dib looked over at Zim he could tell he was cold wearing shorts and a jersey.Actually it was the first time Dib had seen him in anything other than his normal clothes.He still had he gloves on and he had cut a hole in his jersey for his pak to go through But he now revealed his pale green arms and legs.It was nice of him to give Gaz his jacket, Dib was about to do it himself.

The four of them walked back to Dib and Gaz's house to celebrate but as soon as they walked in Dib rushed up to his room.Dib had made a decision and needed to go through with it before he changed his mind.Gaz and Zim played some of her new video games and Gir ate all the pizza they ordered. It began to get late when zim said
"i guess i should go home now".Dib then came running down the stairs a smirk look on his face

"what you mean the park" he asked rudely

"uh..yeah"Zim answered sorta confused "you know that"

"oh right now i remember" He said "it's almost hard to sleep at night knowing a crazy aliens out there"

Zim began to get angry "stupid human" he said "atleast i'm smarter than you"

"yeah right" Dib said.Gaz was starting to get mad herself she couldn't understand why Dib was acting this way again and would have stopped him untill she noticed the enjoyment the both of them seemed to be getting out of it.

"here catch" Dib said throwing Zim some keys

"what are these for" Zim asked

"those are to your new room" Dib answered

"what" Zim said in shock

"thats right" dib said "you live here now"

"what about dad" Gaz asked recovering from the shock herself

"i've already talked it over with him on my computer" he said "it took some convincing but i told him it was an educational program on fostering foriegn Kids"
"lucky for us he was busy at the moment and caved in" Dib finished.
Gir ran over beside Zim "we live here now" gir asked and Zim looked to him and nodded
Gir jumped in the air and ran outside "i'd beter go get him" Zim said walking out after him still stunned.

Dib looked over to Gaz who was actually smiling not a fake smile but a real one.She then walked towards Dib and did something she had never done before she hugged him.Dib was surprized at first since it was really rare anyone showed affection in his family especially Gaz. Dib put his arms around her embracing the hug and had to admitt it was rather nice."thanks" Gaz said still hugging him.Then thier dad floated in on his monitor

"what are you children doing" he asked in surprize Gaz quickly pushed dib away

"nothing" gaz said "i was just seeing if i could break him in half"

"oh" her father replied seeming relieved "carry on then" he said leaving the room.Gaz turned to her brother"if you ever mention that to anyone i really will snap you like a twig"
Dib nodded in agreement "of course not" dib said "wou'd believe me anyway"

Zim walked back in from outside with Gir tucked under his arm.

"i got him" Zim said looking to gaz and Dib awkwardly
"so wheres the room" Zim asked.Dib knew that it wasn't in Zims nature to swallow his pride and accept this but Zim was taking it quite well.Dib figured it had to be beter than sleeping at the park

"upstairs" dib answered"i'll show you".They all walked up past Dib and Gaz's room to the old Guest bed
"don't worry it's already fixed up" Dib said opening the door
everything was in order a nicely made bed, tv,dressor,computer and a poster over it like the one he had above his couch in his old home.Beside his bed was a little doggy bed with Girs name printed on it.
Zim walked in and sat at the corner of his bed Gir dove into his and instantly fell asleep.Zim had to admit it was comfrotable

"it seems nice enough" Zim said stretching out on his new bed

"your welcome" Dib answered from the door
Gaz watched as Zim closed his eyes and it was quiet for a moment

" i thought you didn't sleep" Gaz said and Zim opened one eye

"normally no" he said closing his eyes again "but it doesn't mean we can't we ussual don't because it wastes alot of time and it leaves us voulnerable to attack"

"sounds like your a little paranoid" Gaz said yawning and Dib yawned too

"i guess so, after all invaders trust noone" he said "but i have a feeling i might actually get some rest tonight" he yawned.Gaz and Dib stared at each other

"so does that mean you trust us" Dib asked but Zim was fast asleep.

the end.
