"Where the hell is it?" Gaz hissed, her hands digging past her toys that smiled crazily at her. She was looking for something she was planning to slip to her older brother's arch nemesis. She didn't really know what the little green alien liked, but she knew he would accept whether he liked it or not. At some point of time, she found what she was looking for right next to her shelf of video games. A small mood ring(which was probably outdated) was clenched in her palm as she slung her skool bag around her shoulder.
"Gaz, we'll be late to skool!" The demonic princess of doom grunted in frustration and stomped down the stairs. Her older brother was tapping his foot in an annoying fashion, his face twisted in irritation. "Finally," Dib said in exasperation, walking out of the living room and going down the street. Gaz grunted in slight anger and walked out of the house, the door closing by automatically. They walked in silence, but Gaz pulled out her new Vampire Piggys 10.0(which she found in her backpack to her amazement).
After five to ten minutes, Gaz looked up to see the skool and the idiotic children bouncing around. They cackled and screamed like the stupid earth monkeys they were and Gaz made her usual grunt. Out of instinct, her eyes scanned the area until she heard outrageous screaming not to far from her.
"PITIFUL HUMAN! I am a filthy, EARTHWORM baby like you! I LOVE EARTH!" Gaz's eyes twinkled for a few seconds to see Zim, waving his short arms with his face flushing a dark shade of green. Dib was gritted his teeth and Gaz noticed his neck was straining quite a lot. Kids turned their attention, but did no more then stare at the fits of screaming.
"Sooner or later Zim, everyone will know your secret!" Dib cried, pointing his finger at the alien accusingly. Zim's eyes twitched furiously and his gloved claw clenched very tightly. Dib saw his defeat and smirked at Zim, acting as if he had just brought down Super Pee-Pee single handily – that is, if the overgrown hamster was still alive and he wasn't in that crazy suit…
Gaz went back to glance at Zim, but got distracted by something poking out of his hair. It seemed to be like a wire, but it seemed to twitch whenever Zim grew angry. Antennae, a small voice echoed that in her mind and she couldn't help but think it was her annoying brother's voice. Her mouth tightened and she erased the thought, but still continued to stare at Zim until he caught her eye. Oh crap…
"YOU! Queen of DOOM! What are you doing? ARE YOU CHECKING OUT ZIM'S SEXY INVADER BODY!"(1) This brought everyone on campus to gasp and instantly turn to Gaz. The girl was calm, but her mind was repeating curse words continuously. A slight pink came to her face from both embarrassment and anger. Suddenly, the sunny sky turned very cloud and lightning clashed horrifically. Rain fell and everyone screamed in joy, with the exception of Zim. The rain went away after a few moments and everyone groaned in disappointment.
"WHY MUST THIS BE?" Zim yowled, his green skin blistering and sizzling horribly. Dib chuckled as the bell rang abruptly and ran up the steps with all the other kids except Zim and Gaz. Zim flinched in fear as Gaz towered over him demonically, her eyes unreadable. "Why…?"
"Because," Gaz murmured, turning around and walking halfway up the stoop. "You're meant to be tortured." Gaz did not look back at Zim and walked to Mr. Elliott's class with satisfaction. Zim seemed to be have hurt deeply, wounds growing within him that were much worse than his blisters.
That was harsh, a voice different from the other she had heard in the morning. It sounded like her voice but much softer and kinder. The semi goth growled to herself and a bit of the fifth graders stole fearful glances at her. Mr. Elliott, who was teaching cheerfully, took a curious look and made a look that Gaz new instantly. See me after class…
Gaz sighed in exasperation but nodded to Mr. Elliott and placed her head on the desk. Her eyes opened slightly and she stared at the tagging marked upon her dirty desk. Mumbling something under her breath, she took out a piece of paper and her lead pencil and began to draw pigs of doom. She needn't pay attention for this was all too simple for her. Gaz had been given the choice to join Dib and Zim's class, but the fact that she would be stuck with her brother…she didn't even want to think about it.
The class ended within seven of her piggy drawings, all which had been colored and inked. As soon as the children flooded out the door and out onto the playground, it began to rain(2). Gaz looked at the sky and saw the sun was out but did not say anything. Mr. Elliott made a concerned expression at the rain, but looked back at Gaz expectantly.
"It's nothing," Gaz said, going over to her desk and retrieved a maroon umbrella. "Nothing but a silly little act of stupidity…"
"Gaz," Mr. Elliott pushed his wide glasses up his nose and smiled sweetly at the girl with concern. Gaz always expected he was gay, but never had concrete evidence. "You don't normally growl in class. You're usually…utterly quiet?"
Gaz's lip arched in both amusement and question, but kept silent. Mr. Elliott continued on and Gaz would only answer with 'It's nothing…' Gaz's teacher admitted defeat after the twentieth answer and shooed Gaz off. She was happy to finally get out of the class and was able to get out the rain – although she did not like it to touch her. The rain was lighter now, but Gaz still had her umbrella out and children were still crying out in joy.
"Gaz-earthworm!" The Queen of Doom turned to see an anguish Zim, panting in what seemed to be pain. He had more blisters on his green skin now and his eyes were watering a bit. "I forgot to put on paste. You shall surrender your rain…deflector…thingy…OR PERISH!" He made a swipe for the umbrella, but Gaz jabbed him with the tip sharply. Zim gasped and hunched over to hold his squildy spooch.
"How pathetic," Gaz hissed, throwing her umbrella at Zim's boots and walking into the rain. The rain did not bother her, it was just she had to take a shower when she got home and she wanted to spend all her free time in playing Vampire Piggys 10.0. Zim's eyes flickered for a quick moment until he snatched the umbrella and ran out on the playground. Gaz sat on the wall that boarded the playground and looked up at the dark clouds. She squinted because the sun was still out and shielded her eyes, string out absently.
She wasn't really paying attention, but she could see Zim just standing near the fence. His green skin stuck out like a sore thumb and the maroon umbrella didn't help him at all. Dib was leaning on the opposite fence, his trench coat collar pulled up a little bit higher. Gaz needn't look for him because his head was as big as those mallets you see on stupid cartoons. Gaz just knew, though, that Dib was glaring at him with pure loathing and Zim was returning the hateful stare.
When the bell rang, the rain had stopped and everyone was soaking wet. The children would eventually catch a cold from the rain, but Gaz was practically immune to viruses. She wasn't into anything paranormal but from the research Dib rambled at home, she bet Zim didn't know what a cold was.
Gaz wrung her hair and it went into a limp version of her normal hairstyle. Her clothes were still pretty wet, but they would dry off from the AC the teachers left on constantly. She jumped off the brick wall and walked casually up the stoops when she felt someone pull her back. Gaz's first intention was to smack the bloody daylights of the person, but the feeling of leather told her it was Zim. Something poked her lightly in the back and the green alien made a grunt.
"Here. I don't need this any longer…" Zim let go of Gaz and walked ahead of her, but did something Gaz did not expect. He smiled. He smiled at her…
