Deep in the bowls of the castle - which is to say, in a rather large and unusual room on the second floor - there came an almighty crash, as a small metallic robot fell from the roof into a little metal pile on the stone floor. How he managed this after spending several months as a large kernel of popcorn in an unbreakable glass case is unknown.

"Dear sweet Jeebus, it's one'a them cyborgs!" Tenna chose to yelp aloud, eyes wide and fixated on the small, metal thing in front of her. Why she was down by the popcorn room, she didn't quite kn... Okay, she'd been trying to steal a piece of popcorn. They were so big! And fluffy! But seriously. Robot. Way more interesting than snack food. "Cyborgs taste like monkeys you say? How peculi-fuckin'-lar!"

"Cyborg!" GIR screamed. His eyes and the panel on his chest glowed red; he raised his arms above his head and flew upwards into the air, spinning and making various combat-style poses before landing, with a soft thump, on Tenna's head.
His eyes were blue again.
"One day I'm gonna taste like a burrito! Burriiiiiiitoooo!" Tenna's head was smaller than Zim's, and MUCH smaller than Dib's (of course), so GIR sat with his legs danging in front of Tenna's face rather than curling up comfortably. He leaned forward and down to look at her. "And I got a piggy!" The malfunctioning SIR unit pulled a rubber piggy from his head (he'd taken out various chips and wires to make room for it! Yay!) and squeaked it in Tenna's general direction.

...Read a documentary? What?
Wait. It was on her head. THERE WAS A ROBOT RATHER ON HER HEAD.
Neat!
Naturally, the pig being dangled in front of Tenna's face made her automatically squeak back, in recognition. "Squeak," she said quite seriously to the pig. And then, much louder, and more of a screech, "THING WHAT SQUEEEEEAKS." Oh, this was a perfect, perfect moment. She instantly whipped out Spooky, giggling hysterically and squeaking him like nobody's business. "They can be FRIIIEENNNDDS."

"Whatsit called? Whatsit callllled?" GIR demanded. "My piggy's called..." he trailed off, thinking hard for a few minutes. "PIGGY!"
Suddenly, GIR remembered that he wasn't supposed to talk in fron of humans. The fact that he was BLATANTLY a robot, without even his green doggy disguise on, didn't cross his mind. "... MIAOW."

"... can I have a sammich?" he asked, gazing up at Luna with huge, featureless cyan eyes.

"GIR! Get over here now!" He glanced around. "Behold, GIR, at what I have done! I have FREEED us form our filthy, kernelly doooom." He hummed triumphantly, awaiting praise.

"I taste like a monkeh!" he repeated - then suddenly, as if for the first time, glanced at the giant popcorn kernels. "Poppity poppity popcorn! Did we go pop?" The word seems to amuse him. "Pop pop tee pop-pop-pop, poppity POP POP pop, poppy poppy POP!"

He gasped in horror, "And WHERE are our disguises?!"

He stuck his tongue out, considering Zim's last question. "I... don't know." Then he leapt into Zim's arms. "HUGGIIIIIIING!"
