Babysitting with an aftertaste (Zim x reader) (On hold)

14. Do not push the button

It didn't take long till another face appeared on screen, followed by his large head.

Dib was smoking, his coat on fire, while his glare was directly towards the green kid. His demand, however, was new to me. He knew what was going on and Zim didn't even hide it, showing off his latest plan into detail.

Thank you Zimy dear~

I had my own plan for this irken, and Dib will be part of this one.

"Computer?"

"...Yes..."

"Would you...like to help me on something?"

The system took a second to respond, "...on what?"

"Pull a prank on your master"

Suddenly, the computer was getting weird, "...me who held the power of the base, me who rules the system of destruction, me who..."

"You done?"

"..."

"..."

"...ME who has the knowledge of decades in me..."

I sighted deeply, "Hurry, hurry!"

"...Shall I help or shan't I, that is the question..."

"You shall Shakespeare, come on!"

"...oh...ok..."

That is the last time I ask him for help. But for now, he did his purpose. Zim didn't notice a thing, as he returned to the ship.

"So, what do you think?"

I shrugged, "Its...nice."

"NICE?!" In his terms, nice means, not good enough...worthless. His overdramatic behaviour got all out of hand, until I stopped him in mid-sentence. Gosh, he sounds like his computer, "Speaking of that...is it normal for Dib to be in your base?"

"Dib...DIB?! He is in the base?!!!"

With a nod, the irken called his computer for approval. As expected, he played along. Zim panicked, "No, nooooo, this is horrible!!!!! I can't let that human worm crawl through my base, like a vermin through my squeedly...why aren't you sleeping?"

"Huh?"

He pointed at me confused, "You, shouldn't you be out...like Gir?"

"Why...was there something in the food?" my cheeky grin made him uncomfortable.

"THAT'S A LIE!!!!!!!!"

"Eh?"

"I mean...it was delicious and...much"

Referring to the amount of the food, which Gir ate to ninety-nine percent, I lied back, "My stomach needs a lot of time to digest, it's a little slow from being so tall." Zim's eyes sparkled, "really?"

"Sure"

"Fascinating!" that he takes notes of this was uncalled for, "Anyway, why don't you wait here, and I see if I can spot that filthy human somewhere"

"No need, he is here"

"WHERE?"

I pointed to the extra storage in the ship, where most of the food where stashed. I removed everything, filling the space with a black cloth, resembling Dib's coat. I couldn't help but smile, as the green kid told me to back off the ship. Zim inspected the storage and looked deadpanned at the piece of cloth, "What is the meaning of this?!!!!!" His eyes widened as the door was shut. Like a scared little hamster in a ball, his face was pressed against the glass, threatening me to open the door. My smile didn't fade, slowly moving with my index finger at the button, "...I wonder what this will do"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"No, what?"

"Don't push the button!!!!!"

"Or what?"

"Or I...I..." his look was deadly, jet his mind tries to find something nice to say. But for now, all I wanted was answers, why he wanted to shoot me into space and why to the tally thingy's, from his point of view. That cooking was part of the reason is not very understandable. During Zim's bad explanation, Gir had finally got back from his slumber. While his master was talking and I sat cross-legged before the ship's door, the little robot scanned the floor around us for food. Since the storage had to be emptied, I just threw the stuff out.

"Is that enough?"

I shook my head, "I was supposed to be a cook for some aliens? Try again Zim"

"But its true!!!!"

"I don't know, maybe I should press the button and let you explain this to these aliens"

"Do not press the button!"

"But I want to press the button~"

"I am warning you Y/N. Do.not.press.the.button"

"Awww, but I would really, really, really like to press the button~"

"I WANT TO PRESS THE BUTTON!"

Click!

"GIR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

For once, we had the same thought.

The impact the ship had, made me fly backwards against the wall, with the robot slammed into my face. Ouch! Unlike me, Gir was delighted, "That was fun, lets do it again!"

"Your master will kill you when he returns. Oh well..."

"Oh"

But then, the thought was getting more pleasant by the minute, "When he returns. A day, a week, even years?"

"Centuries?" added Gir.

"Exactly, lets throw a party Gir. Computer want to join us?"

His reply was simply pullin on some happy tune, giving us the beat to dance. Shuffling all the way up to the house, I opened the door to see smoky Dib outside. Blowing out his coat, we pulled him inside and let him join in the fun. For some time, we going to have some peace and quiet in this house.

Unlike at the irken armada.

The tallest weren't all too pleased to see Zim as well as hearing his excuses in shouting. Red had to prevent purple to strangle this little irken. Red still demands his slave for the doughnuts, grabbing Zim by the head, "You will go back to this planet and get the slave. Don't come back unless your mission is fulfilled."

"And the invasion?"

"Sending the slave is the highest priority, you can doom this planet later" said purple, strangling a puppet Zim to let off some steam.

"I will not fail you my tallest! I swear, I will capture this filthy human thing and get her for you and then, I will be the greatest Inv...."

"Just go Zim"

"...eh...ok...do you...have a ship I can borrow?"

The tallest needed a lot of patience that day not to blow him up on purpose.
