Chapter 7

"Hello." The girl with green hair said. "I'm Mel." "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mel." I said. "Ok, lets go inside." Zim said. "What we'll do is we will equip my house with protection against vampires so they do not come near here. I will put garlic all over my house even though it smells like filth. Mel, I want you to equip the lawn gnomes with wooden stakes just in case vampires do come here. Micah, I want you to upgrade my security system so that it will notify us if any vampires have been spotted near the b- HOUSE!!!" Zim then gives me a small chip. "I want you to go in my lab, and also I'm going to follow you in there because...there is something I want to tell you." Zim looked a little nervous. "Oh, ok?" I said.
"So how do we get into your lab?" I said. "Go stand in the toilet and then pull the handle." Zim told me. I walked to the toilet and I stood in the bowl and then pulled the handle. The toilet somehow flushed me and I ended up in a tube that was sucking me down into a huge lab. "Whoa..." I said in amazement. Zim then came down in the tube and he was carrying a crate full of garlic in his arms. He puts the crate down and walks up to me and grabs ahold of my shirt. "Ok, I'm going to tell you my secret because I trust you, but you must never tell anyone! Understand!?" He says. "I wouldn't tell anyone, my lips are sealed." Zim smiles a little. "Oh ok...well, you know how Dib keeps saying that I'm an alien, right?" He said. "Um yeah, but I don't believe him. I believe you just have a skin condition." Then I saw Zim frown. "Umm...it's actually true...I really am an alien." My eyes widened a little. "For real!?" I said. "Yes, for real." Zim said. "Take a look at my true self." He then reached for his eyes, which were really contacts, and he pulled them off. He had big, ruby colored eyes. He then reached up towards his head and took off his wig, revealing that he has antennae on his head.
"Oh my gosh..." I said. "You really are a real alien!" "Yes...I am!" Zim says, approaching me and smiling evilly. "Are you scared!?" I blushed. "Um...maybe a little bit, but not really." Zim got even closer, putting his face in my face. "But don't I look horrifying?" He says. "No, not really." I said. He then sat down beside me. He looked up at me. "So, what do you think of me?" He said. "You're actually a cute alien." I said. "I...I am?" He told me, as I noticed that his cheeks were turning blue. "Thank you."
"So where are you from?" I asked. "I'm from Irk, I'm an Irken." He said. "It took me 6 months to get here." "6 months!?" I said. " That's half a year on Earth!" "Really!?" Zim said. "Is there 12 months in one Earth year?" "Yup." I said. "How old are you?" Zim asked. "I'm 12." I said. Zim starts laughing. "You're 12!? I'm 161 years old!" I started laughing. "Omg you are really old!" I said. " I'm actually not." Zim said. "800 would be old. But in Irken years you're like 1." Me and him were both laughing hysterically. "I think you would be like 16 in human years." I said. "Oh yeah, that would make sense." He said.
Mel came down into the lab. Um guys, it's almost nighttime. We need to get ready. I took the chip that Zim gave me and plugged it into his computer. The computer then talked. "Vampire detection has been learned." It said. I then saw Zim smile. "Good job." He said. He hung up cloves of garlic all over the lab and the inside and outside of his base and Mel put wooden stakes on the lawn gnomes to they could attack any intruding vampires. I then received a text message on my phone from Dib. "Micah where are you? It's getting dark, go inside now!" I texted back. "I'm in Zim's house. He has garlic all over his house and he is keeping me safe." He texted back: "Be careful, I wouldn't trust him if I were you!" I texted back: "Don't worry, I'm fine. He hasn't done anything bad to me." He then texted back: "Oh ok, good." I then saw a green dog run into the lab. He was actually wearing a dog suit because he took it off and revealed to be a robot. "YAAAAY THERE'S GARLIC EVERYWHERE!!!" He shouted. "Um, who is this?" I asked. "Oh, that's Gir." Zim said. "He's my robot companion." I smiled. "He's adorable." I said. Gir then walked up to me. "Do you have tacos!?" He asked. "Gir, please don't ask her for tacos!" Zim said. "Oh, ok!" Gir said, running off and going back upstairs. "I hope no vampires come." I said. "I hope not either, they sound horrible." Zim said. "They are horrible!" I said. "If one catches you, either you will be killed or you will be turned into a vampire. It depends on how pure your soul is. If your soul is pure, you will be killed. If it's not, you will be turned into a vampire. But I don't know if vampires would like Irken blood or not..." Zim started thinking again and I noticed that his antennae twitched. "Hmmm...that is true. My skin is toxic to lice...but vampires...I don't know..." He was thinking more and talking more. "Well if someone does come to the door, I will open it but I will not invite them in. I will get a mirror and use it to see if they have a reflection or not." Mel then said "But what if they don't have a reflection?" "Then that means they are a vampire." Zim said. "The lawn gnomes will kill them."
All of us armed ourselves with garlic and with wooden stakes. All of sudden I got a text message from Dib and it said: "Micah, be extra careful and tell Zim this! Two vampires were spotted near Bloaty's Pizza and they killed 6 people and they believe 4 people were turned. In the mall somebody also saw someone in the mirror without a reflection and the mall is now on lockdown. They are searching for the vampire right now."
