The Aliens Pet

1

"Go fall off the roof again, Creep!" Zima, an easily irritated girl, shouted as she ran around the school playground. "Not until you confess to being an alien!" Dib Membrane shouted while chasing her. Zima growled and swerved around a tree, then climbed onto the swing set. Dib skidded to a stop and looked up at her. "Hey, no fair," he said, trying to jump and reach her.

Zima glared down at Dib from her new height. She was sick and tired of his crazy ideas and theories. Every day this lunatic would accuse Zima of being an alien and say she had some sort of plan to take over Earth. He also had the brilliant theory that her little sister, Gir, was a robot in disguise. He was such a pain and Zima had hit her limit, TWICE!

"Listen, Dib!" Zima jumped down and landed on Dib, pinning him with her body weight. "I am sick and tired of this. I am not an alien, my sister isn't a robot, get a life!" She snapped. "You can't fool me, Space Scum," Dib said, then slapped a pair of handcuffs on Zima's wrist. Zima glanced down at her wrist, then back up to Dib who was smiling proudly.

Zima sat at her desk taking notes. She would occasionally glance over at Dib; he had three large knots on his head, a black eye, and he was missing a tooth. Zima smirked and continued with her work.

"Zima!" Mrs. Bitters suddenly snapped. Zima glanced up; Mrs. Bitters pointed to the board. "Why is this upcoming test important?" she asked. Zima rolled her eyes. "It isn't. We are all gonna fail because we are a doomed class," she said. Mrs. Bitters gave one of her rare smiles. "Nice to know someone in this class can learn from me," she said. She even extended her long arms and pet Zima on the head. "Ha, typical teacher's pet," Zima hung her head and her expression darkened.

The boy who had the guts to spit such a comment sat laughing, just until Zima's desk hit him in the face. No one dared say a word, not unless they wanted to be next. "You, are the most doomed of all," Zima hissed. Everyone stayed quiet, but then someone else decided to speak up. "I bet she would make a good pet." That boy was hit by Zima's chair.

Zima glared at the rest of her classmates, daring them to say something. "Why can no one else see that she is an alien!?" Dib shouted. Zima glared at him; she didn't want to deal with him, but she also didn't want him to go unpunished. Crossing her arms, Zima turned her head away. "Are you saying girls can't be strong?" That caused an uproar from the other girls in class.

Dib was scolded by the girls, and Zima slipped out of class. "Bunch of morons," Zima muttered to herself and exited the school.

Zima hummed as she brushed sticky knots out of her sister's hair. "Why did Mom and Dad leave you home alone?" She asked, pulling a hard candy out of Gir's hair. "I don't know." Gir giggled and turned her attention back to the TV. Zima sighed and brushed out the last knot, sprayed Gir's hair with water, brushed it one more time, the tied her hair in pigtails. "All done." She said and kissed Gir on the head.

Gir giggled jumped off the couch and ran off. Zima smiled and lay down, she grabbed the remote and changed the channel to Scooby-Doo Where are you? It would serve as background noise while Zima did her homework.

Zima had only gotten one problem solved before Dib started pounding on the front door. Zima knew it was Dib because he did it every night, no matter what. Zima considered ignoring him, but she knew he would stay all night, or Gir would answer the door, and Zima didn't want Gir around Dib. "Hi, big-headed boy." Gir giggled. Zima frowned, 'Too late' She thought and went to the front door.

Zima moved Gir to stand behind her and glared at Dip. "Zima, I am here to finally expose you and prove that I'm not crazy!!" Dib exclaimed. Zima crossed her arms, "You are crazy, Big Head." She said. "I am not, and my head isn't big!" Dib exclaimed. Zima smirked, it was always so amusing to see Dib frustrated and annoyed.

"A BUNNY!!" Gir squealed and ran past Zima, and chased a white rabbit down the street. "Gir!" Zima dashed out after Gir. "Hey, wait for me." Dib followed.

Gir chased the rabbit into the woods and a big clearing. There the rabbit escaped into a burrow, and Gir successfully got herself stuck in said burrow. When Zima finally caught up she sighed in relief. Zima knelt and pulled Gir from the burrow, careful not to hurt her. "Are you okay, Gir?" Gir just laughed like a maniac. Zima smiled and scooped Gir up, she was ready for bed.

"Freeze, Space Scum," Dib said, finally catching up to the sisters. "Hi!" Gir squealed and ran and hugged Dib's legs. "Gir, get away from him. And Dib, leave us alone!" Zima demanded. Dib glared, "Never! I won't stand by while you try to take over Earth. I will stop at nothing to ensure the world sees you for what you truly are!"

Zima groaned in frustration. "Will you wake up and smell the beaver? I am not an alien, Gir is not a robot, you are a nut job. Aliens don't exist, Dib." Zima said, jabbing her finger into Dib's chest. Dib swatted her hand away, "Lies!" "Oh, what's that?" Gir asked. Zima and Dib both followed Girs gaze and saw a large red spaceship in the sky. Dib nudged Zima, "Told you." He said smugly.

Zima didn't care at that moment and reached for Gir so they could flee. A red beam shot down from the ship and Zima was beamed up. "Sissy!" Gir cried as the ship disappeared into the stars.

Zima landed on a large platform in a brightly lit room. Quickly, Zima jumped up and looked around. This room was full of all kinds of crazy tech, like something you would see in a sci-fi movie. Zima began to panic and breathe heavily. "Wh-Where-" Something was then stabbed into Zima's back, electrocuting her. "AHHHHH!!" Zima collapsed, her vision blurry, and her body in extreme pain.

"Do you think they'll like her?" A feminine voice asked. "I hope so." A male voice said. Zima then felt two sets of hands grab her feet, and she was drug away.
