Hey guys! Sorry for ...months and months of wait for this chapter. I've actually started to lean off the ZaLr pairing. I'm starting to like OCxOC pairings more. But, in sake of reviewers, I'm going to try to finish this story as best as possible... I'm sorry if it's not as exciting as it was in previous chapters ...[if it was XD] But I try! DX Anyway, So... Thanks to an AWESOME recommendation by my best friend, Meghan (TheAlmightyTacoGuardianBlez) she gave me a cool idea for L! So, this chapter is Lost (In space) ...Enjoy! [If you can XD]
Licorice's POV
I woke up to the first nice, warm, sunny day I've seen since I moved here. I decided, despite the fact that I shouldn't have, to stay. I told my parents and in all honesty, they didn't really care. That's partially why I stayed. I looked out the window, and as early as it is, there was no-one out. It WAS Saturday after all, I'm sure people were still asleep. Oh well. Since no-one was out, I decided now would be the best time to just take a walk. Since I had crashed asleep with my jeans and tank-top still on, I headed out with a simple change of shoes.
END OF POV
Licorice strolled casually around the park, with no-one in sight. For once she could take in what was left of the surroundings on a nice day. She didn't think it was possible for it to be this nice considering how much neglect was put into the planting of the trees/flowers and so on.
After a few minutes of walking she decided to just sit down on the edge of the park fountain, relaxing to the full extent that she could. She closed her eyes and sighed heavily. Then, her keen cat-ear hearing picked up something, a whizzing sound. She opened her eyes just in time to see something crash a few feet in-front of her. Small, silver, and...well, she couldn't quite tell. She spoke nothing, as she slowly stood up and walked over to it.
"Um.." She whispered, as she tapped it with her foot. Suddenly it jumped up and saluted in-front of her. Licorice squeaked a bit, surprised by its sudden action, but quickly eased by its soft eyes.
"Hello!" It spoke, with a rather "girly" tone, so to speak.
"Err, Hi?.." She stared at it, it looked an awful lot like Gir, in all honesty. But it was different in some ways too, instead of being cyan eyes, it had red eyes, and a red panel.
"Do you know where my master is?" It asked Licorice, Licorice just stared, confused.
"Uh, No? I'm..not even sure who that would be.."
"Then you must be mine, then!"
"Uh, wait, no... I'm not.. I'm..not sure..-"
"YOU ARE! ...Please?" It pleaded with its eyes, Licorice couldn't say no, it seemed honest.
"..Um..Alright? I guess.."
"YAY! Thank you! Can I ask you questions then!"
"Uh, sure?" She sat back down on the edge of the fountain, completely in awe. Why did something like Gir just...fall out of the sky, land in-front of her, and then be so outgoing, AND want HER to be its master? This was definitely the oddest things Licorice had seen the ENTIRE time she's been here.
"Okay! One, what's your name? Two, Do ya live here?" It glanced around, before looking back and continuing its questions. "Three, Do you wanna know my name?" It smiled, quite simply put.
"..Uh, Okay. One, I'm Licorice... Two..." Licorice couldn't help but giggle at this, it had obviously not been here at all before. "No, I don't live HERE...I live in a house. and Three, Sure? Why not?"
"Okay, Licorice! I dunno what a house is...but okay! And my name is Jen!"
"Oh...Nice name." Licorice thought for a moment, staying silent, she wondered how she could totally understand this...little "Jen" that looked like Gir. Then it hit her, Licorice sighed.
"Something wrong?" Jen asked.
"No, Nothing. Why...dont you follow me?" Licorice stood up off the fountain and started walking. Jen, to much surprise, followed without a question.
After a bit of walking, they were standing outside Zim's door. Licorice sighed, hoping his attitude had changed since the last time she saw him. Licorice knocked on the door, and a few seconds later, a little cyan eye peeked out.
"LICOORIICCE!" Gir yelled, throwing the door open and clinging to her.
"Whuaa! Hellooo." Licorice giggled.
"Who's thaaatt?" Gir gasped, pointing to Jen. Jen rolled her red eyes.
"She's um..."
"She's my master." Jen pointed to Licorice, and she shook her head of confusement.
"...Anyway...Where's Zim?" Licorice asked.
"...HOLD AWN!" Gir ran to the kitchen and yelled his name loudly, causing Licorice's cat-ears to twitch slightly.
The platform from the floor rose up with Zim standing on it. "GIR! I told you NOT TO DISTU-" Zim stopped when he saw Licorice standing at the door. Licorice waved slightly, and Jen stared at him with a bored expression.
"What are you doing here, Lici-hyyuuman?"
"Uhhrmm.." Licorice didn't really wanna say anything in-front of Jen about he. Licorice slightly motioned her head towards Jen. Zim stared for a second, then realized what she was motioning to.
"Who is that? GIR! IS THIS YOUR FAULT?" Zim yelled, Licorice cleared her throat intentionally to stop him from yelling.
"Not his fault. This is ..Jen. She ...fell from the sky" Licorice didn't know how else to put it, Jen nodded her head.
"..." Zim stared at Licorice for a second, with his usual expression.
"I see...Well, I think maybe I should take..."Jen", you won't need her." Zim approached them, and Jen's panels glowed, causing him to stop.
"You won't take me." Jen spoke, a serious tone in every word.
"...She's stronger then I thought she would be."
"I guess she was previously...uhm, well-trained?" Licorice smiled slightly, and much to her surprise, Zim smiled back.
"..Yeah. ..I guess she is yours then." Zim sighed, turning around.
"I have to continue working on my AMAAZZINNG plan. So if you could let me be."
"Uhhmm..Yeah. Okay..." Licorice sighed quietly. "Bye then."
"Lici-human."
"Yeah?"" Licorice's cat-ears perked up slightly
"If you want, you can come over later. And bring Jen, maybe her and Gir will learn to get along."
"..Okayy..! Sure..!" Licorice seemed surprised, but she smiled.
"See you later then!" Licorice closed the door, and was excited, which she didn't expect.
Maybe it won't turn out so bad after all.
UGH. SUCH A BAD CHAPPPTEERR... Sorry for the long-long...long...update wait. I get writers block sooooo baaadd...nyaan! Well, you know the routine, any ideas for me? ..And I dunno if I should finish this. It seems my writing skills are decreasing and this story seems...stupid.
