What If They Meet Differently?

Chapter 6: Gir!!

The robot had his eye go bright blue, then quickly shift to a deep blood red. The robot stood up, looming over them as Dib looked in fascination and some fear. Before he went back to blue, sticking his tongue out waving his hands "WOOO HO! Hi there!!" Zim smirked crossing his arms as Dib chuckled "Um... I think we messed up" Zim shook his head "No, he was like this before" Gir jumped off the table and hugged Zim "Master! You're okay!" Zim patted his head "I'm safe Gir don't worry. Gir I want you to meet the person who saved us" Zim turned Gir to Dib who leaned down excited to meet the robot. "Hi there, I'm Dib" Gir waved his little handfast, his tongue sticking out as he said "Hi Mary! I'm Gir! You got Tacos?!" Dib looked to the machine confused "Um... no no it's Dib. Also, I don't think we do. There might be some leftovers in the fridge" He said shrugging as the little robot ran off screaming "TACOS!!!" Dib turned watching the little insane robot run off as he rolled his eyes "And people say I'm nuts" Zim chuckled as they both headed up to the living room, looking in the kitchen to see Gir sitting on the table, eating tacos. "He's always like this?" Zim nodded his head "The tallest said he was advanced but I'm starting to think they meant advanced in a different way."

Dib chuckled at this trying to hold in a snort. Zim watched him as he was honestly fascinated by Dibs laugh, and why it made him feel this way. Maybe it was a human thing, he'd have to find out more. "So we got Gir fixed. Don't know how helpful it is but now you have company when I and Gaz are gone. I guess next would be to check your ship, have you looked at it yet?" Zim gulped, completely forgetting about the ship. He didn't want Dib to know this, and sound week around his enemy. "U-Um... I-I already have! The mighty Zim checked it perfectly!" Dib raised an eyebrow, and a smirk to go with it "Really? Then... how was it?" Zim smirked, "In fantastic condition!" Dib smiled "Zim I brought it here last night. The window is broken completely, and an engine is blown out, and it's missing some wires. I didn't get to fully check it. You can just say you forgot" Zim pouted and looked away "... but then you'll find Zim stupid" Dib was shocked "Wha- Why would I ever think that?" Zim looked to him with his pink eyes curious "Zim, hehe you literally single-handed fixed a robot, you have military training, and the technology in your pak alone is more advanced than anything I've ever seen. You're pretty incredible" Zims eyes were wide as Dib could easily see the shocked look, without him having iris. Zim blushed a bit as his antennas went back. No one had ever called Zim incredible but himself. "I-I..." He coughed turning around hiding his face "Z-Zim knew this, I-I was just testing the humans l-loyalty" Dib smiled then patted Zim's head "Hehe sure thing Space boy" Zim gulped having an odd kinship grow for the earth boy. Though he had to push that feeling down in his squiggly smooch for now.

The two-headed to the garage to look inside the ship. "Hmm... can't find much in here, most of its wrecked honestly" Dib shrugged "Well maybe we can fix some of these. I'd say first is finding something to help a disguise. So you'll be able to go out of the house" Zim agreed as he shuffled through the item to which he found a collar like device "Oooh! An old creation of mine! Not in bad shape" Dib looked up from the pile he was looking through to it. "What does it do?" Zim shrugs "Well it creates a projection over the user's body. Though it can't create clothing or such. It always glitches out on that part. It was designed to make me blend into backgrounds and such" Zim pushed a button and it hummed a bit as if turning on, a screen pulling up. Though the screen begins to glitch out, disappears than sparks come out of it. The two wince away until it stops. Zim sighed as Dib came up "Hmm... maybe we can make a human disguise with this and you can just wear normal human clothing." Zim was shocked by this "Really? You think it could work" Dib nods "Yeah but... we gotta buy clothing and I think there is a lot more about humans you need to know about" Zim nods his head holding it "Yes.. well then we must work right away. To the lab!!" Dib chuckled as Zim marched out of the ship.
