The next morning, I was greeted by a happy Zim. Quite a disturbing sight to say the least.

"Goooood morning!" he cheered, smiling wide.

Not wanting to fight this early, I replied to him, "...morning..."

"I made you breakfast"

Okay, that is downright creepy, "What in pork's name are you up to."

"Noooooooothing, I am just a normal human worm, making breakfast for my human guardian"

His behaviour worries me, "Ehm you know...I am not really hungry"

"But you must eat..."

"Why?"

"To...eh..." he thought back to the commercial he saw with Gir, "...have your five a day."

Curious I looked at the table, he sure made the breakfast quite large. From meat and sweets to fish and vegetables, but some things were not how it was supposed to be. Since when does a fish have an apple in his mouth? Or meat filled with candy? Zim sure has a weird way to combine food, "Thank you Zim that is...nice of you, little odd but nice."

Pulling the chair for me to sit, he gestured towards the table, "Sit, you need your strength"

"Living with you, definitely"

Gir already sat opposite from me, eagerly waiting to begin to stuff his mouth full. The moment I was in the chair, he attacked the food, like he hasn't eaten for days...although he just has something ten minutes ago.

The green boy stood there like he was waiting for something, "Dig in Y/N"

Something was off, I just know it.

At the same moment, the doorbell rang. Zim moaned about it but went anyway. He gestured to the food again, "Go on, I am sure you find it...delicious." He sounds like someone who poisoned food. Unsure, I poked around the vegetables and meat.

The irken needed all night to arrange this food. Since he doesn't own human money, he stole most of it from other people's fridges. The only thing that was his own creation, was this little extra for me. Annoyed that he cannot witness this, he opened the door. Moaning out loud, when the face of his human enemy was glaring in his direction.

"What do you want Dib?"

"Where is she?"

"That again? I told you, she is mine."

"I will not let you send her up to space to your alien scum"

Zim shrugged, "Too bad, because she will go there in ten minutes. GNOMES! INTRUDER!" Shutting the door, he came back to the kitchen. I could hear the poor boy scream in pain outside, "Was that Dib?" He nodded, but assured me not to worry, eagerly pushing the plate of meat in my direction. His eyes widened with excitement, as I took one bite.

"Zim, I am thirsty. Could you get me something to drink?" I know there was juice on the table, but I preferred water. The little boy obeyed and went over to the sink. That was my chance to call on Gir. Once Zim returned, the table was cleaned...as well as my plate, "Phew...I am stuffed!"

"I see" he said, feeling pleased by the sight.

With the water down my throat, he wanted me to show something. That we go straight down to his base, was uncalled for. With Gir by my side, covered in food, we stood before a small ship. Zim presented it like a model on a sportscar, "Behold, my newest invention...the time warp traveller!" Okay, what it does was obvious, so I kept my mouth shut. Next, was a tour through the little ship, where the green boy kept on talking about all the cool stuff it has to offer. Curious, I asked Gir, "What did he build it for? Is he leaving the planet?"

"No"

I sighted deeply, "Pity"

"You do"

"Excuse me?"

"Y/N, come and see the stuff in here!" Zim was completely in a flow state, not seeing me talking with his evil minion, "Where am I supposed to go with this?"

"To the tallest"

"What crawlest?"

Gir shook his head, "Tallest"

"Where is that supposed to be?"

He pointed to the sky, "Up into space"

My eyes darkened, "SO he wants to get rid of me?"

"Yep"

I was glad that the robot was so straight forward, it gave me enough time to find a way out of this. Not to keep Zim waiting, I checked out the insides, seeing something interesting.

"Does it go somewhere?"

He nodded, "It is already set on a coordination all I have to do, it to press that button."
"I see"

"Why don't you wait here, I forgot something in the kitchen."

I accepted this, leaning over the button, so he couldn't push it. I noticed how annoyed Zim was with that move but refused to make a scene. He did leave me for a few minutes.

Wanting to ask Gir on what to do, he was suddenly fast asleep. I didn't know robots need sleep too. Waiting inside this ship was too risky for my liking. I decided to walk through the base, maybe I find out what Zim is up to. To my luck, his computer was quite some help with the orientation, since this place was a maze to me. Asking it where I can hear Zim, he instructed me to go into the core of the base. There I had access to all cameras around this place, even the house.

"Wont you be in trouble if you obey me?"

The computer chuckled, "Yeah, like he could shut me off. I don't care."

"But he is your master"

"So?" Wow, that system has a mind of his own. Without further ado, it showed me the camera view form the Livingroom on the large screen. I could see Zim walking around in circles, moaning when I would finally fall asleep. That remind me of Gir. When he mentioned food, it clicked in my head. Zim did this all just to make me sleep the entire trip to the...callest...pallest...lowest...ah who cares?!

But one thing is for sure, I won't let that happen, "Just you wait Zim...just you wait."
