"Can I come off the table now?" I ask "please?"
Zim doesn't say anything, but he does release me from the table. I stand and look around, this lab is really done up. There's more advanced technology than what we humans have. Zim is looking at me, I guess he expects me to say something.
"This lab.... it's.... I don't even know what to say! It's..... so.......... amazing!" I say, it's true, but I think I put too much enthusiasm in that...
"Yes, of course it is. I made it." Zim boasts
"Yes, well, I don't exactly know what I'm supposed to do though..." I say
Zim gives me a weird look, "I will show you to your room, that is if Gir has gotten it ready for you like I asked him." Zim says walking away, I follow him.
"Elevator, up to the house!" Zim shouts
When we get up to the house part of this alien lair, Zim yells for Gir.
"Yes, master?" The dog says
"Is Jennifers room ready?"
"Yes! I mean-"
"Is it actually ready, Gir?" Zim interrupts Gir
"Ohhh, I don't know... I think so..." Gir says
"Show me." Zim says
Gir walks away, and me and Zim follow. The room I'm supposed to have is fine for me. It's clean too.
"I'm surprised Gir. For the first time you actually have done what I've asked the right way." Zim says
I giggle and Zim shoots me a look that I'm not entirely sure what it means, but I stop.
"Sorry." I say looking at my feet
"This is your room. You can stay here until I need you." Zim says and walks out the door.
"What? I have to stay here?" I ask but Zim already left the room.
I look at Gir. Who's just standing there.
"Why can you talk?" I ask
He shrugs his shoulders, then he unzips his chest, and a robot wiggles out.
"IM NAKED!!!" He yells and runs off
"That explains a lot..." I say picking up his dog costume, but I guess it's more of a disguise.
A few minutes later, Gir comes back and asks if I'm hungry.
"Kinda, I could eat." I say
"Okeydoky!" He says and runs off
About 10 seconds later, Gir comes back with a plate of waffles.
"Here you go!" He says
I thank him and take the waffles.
After I finish, Gir takes the empty plate and leaves the room.
I just realized how worried my parents must be right now! I should call them. I dig through my pockets, no phone. I know I had it... maybe Zim found it. I'm not sure what would happen then.
Great no phone! That means no way of ever getting in contact with my parents. No way of any contact with the outside world as long as Zim won't let me leave my room. But it also means no Nightmare.
I gasp, "Nightmare!"
"Who?" Gir who's standing in the doorway asks
"My cat, Nightmare. She's always been the only friend I've ever had," I explain "now, she's going to starve to death." I feel tears welt in my eyes
"Why?" Gir asks
"Because she won't eat unless I'm there." I say as a tear rolls down my cheek.
Gir stands there for a minute, than he gasps and runs off.
I roll my eyes as more tears stream down my face.
