"Hey Gaz, how come Y/N isn't here to pick us up?"

"I don't know, and I don't care Dib"

His sister isn't even close to be concerned, as walking home wasn't anything new to them. Dib however, didn't like it, especially since we didn't get along lately.

At the moment, I had different problems to deal with.

Gir, the robot, was getting on my nerves. First, I had to listen to his doom song over and over again and then, he finds it funny to repeatedly honk while I was driving.

"Get of the wheel robot!"

"GIR!"

"I GIR you in a minute, sit down and shut up!"

"But I want to honk"

My eye twitched, as it kept on finding something else to bother me. Thankfully, the orphanage wasn't too far away, otherwise this ride wouldn't be possible to survive mentally.

RING!

At least I had something else to pay attention to, stopping before ethe large building. Once the vehicle came to a halt, I got my smartphone out, "Y/N here"

"Hey, why didn't you pick us up?"

I sighted, hearing Dib's annoying voice, "You got a pair of healthy legs...WALK HOME!"

CLICK!

Yeah, like I would tell him where I am right now.

Unfortunately, the boy knew it right away, as it was his regular call to the orphanage. His face got pale at the thought, that I could get the alien out of there. Dib kept begging the staff do not give the green skinned boy to a woman fitting my description. What came next, was out of order. He made up things that would be considered as "not suitable to adopt a child" including violent, short tempered and mentally retarded. In his mind, he apologized to me about this, hoping that I would never find out about this.

Meanwhile at the orphanage, the gates are open.

Several couples and some singles arrived, enjoying the attention form all the children. They made some stands to show them their skills and collect money for the orphanage. Zim however, was no where to be seen.

"Where is he?"

"WAFFLES!"

"No Gir, no waffles until we find your owner"

"Really?" the glowing in his eyes was disturbing, as well as his high-pitched voice.

"Yes"

Using his system, he used an X-ray to spot his master through the walls...spotting him inside something, "There he is!"

I was glad to see him in one piece, but a reunion in the men's room where he was upside down in the toilet, was not what I expected. Once he was out, his head was smoking, "You're ok hun?"

"Okay....OKAY?! These filthy monsters dared to mess with ZIMMMM! They shall pay"

"Nice to see you too Zim"

Instead for a greeting, he walked around in a circle, thinking of a plan to destroy the children. I was surprised once his attention seems to have noticed me...after twenty minutes have passed.

"Huh?! What are you doing here?!"

"I came to see you, but since you don't seem to care I will take my leave" Placing the tiny robot before the green boy, I was out the door. Zim listened to Gir's story of what happened, shocked of the news, "you.... you showed her the BASE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"...jep..."

"...are you out of your mind?!"

The robot nodded, "Aha"

"...this is bad, a human knows my base...a grown-up monster. I have to do something."

He was lucky that a few children got in my way. Zim hesitated for a minute, before coming towards me, "Uhm...excuse me...human thing?"

"It's Y/N, Zim"

"Yeah whatever, I came here to announce, that you are worthy to be my parent thingy"

I raised a brow, "Who said that I wanted to adopt you?"

"Isn't that what you came here for?"

"I was, until you showed me how ungrateful and nasty you are"

Under other circumstances, Zim would have taken it as a compliment, but right now, it made the alien feel awful, "But...but..."

"I am sure some strict parents will be more suitable for you"

Trying to leave once more, another body got in my way. This time, it was one of the staff, the one I called to be exact, "You must be the woman that is interested in the green kid"

"Was"

"I am sure we can persuade you to take him anyway"

"Don't bother" But this woman didn't give up. She pulled me by the arm and towards her office. Zim on the other hand, followed us, listening from the other side of the door.

They really wanted to get rid of Zim. It seems that he was quite a handful to everyone in this place. Not being surprised, considering his behaviour, I seen no reason to take him on.

On the other side, Zim got caught by the leader of the orphanage. She resembles Ms. Bitters in many ways, especially her personality, "What are you doing here?"

"I ehm...looking of the toilet"

"You know exactly where it is, being there more often than any other child" Getting him off the door, she got into the office. Unlike the woman, she wasn't friendly, getting right to the point, "Who is that?"

The woman behind the desk got up quickly, "Ms. Mellor, this is the one that takes the green kid of ours hands"

"I never said that!"

"Isn't that the retarded one?"

I didn't understand her question, "Excuse me?"

"Someone called and said you are not suitable to adopt. Now get the hell out of here!"

"Who said that I am not suitable?"

She didn't say anything at first, but I stayed stubborn in my seat, waiting for an answer.

"The one that calls everyday for that hideous kid"

My eyes darkened, "I see...may I please call someone?"

"Why should we?"

"It will be worth it, trust me" the two looked at another, before nodding in approval. That is the last straw Dib, he is going to pay. This special call even got me to hear more of the boys insane imagination, as the leader spoke with the one on the other line. Meanwhile, my eye twitched several times...hearing the words that Dib described me with.

"Wait till I get home...Dib"
