In the Game of Cat and Mouse
Story By: inuyashacat13
Summary: One can only fail so many times before they decide to change the rules of the game…which is exactly what Dib has decided to do. In order to obtain the information he needs, Dib has found out that seduction can get you a lot farther than petty arguments ever could. How far will Dib go to get what he feels he desires most, and how will Zim and him be affected by all of this in the end? ZADR.
Warning: Contains M/M, romance, angst, drama, some bad words, some suggestive themes, etc.
Disclaimer: I don't own Invader Zim, if I did, I'd shove it down nickelodeon's throats until they finally decided to continue it :3
Prologue: Changing the Rules
A/N: My muse took me somewhere else again xD I'm still working on A Place to Call Home but I'm also working on this now :3 Hope you all enjoy~
Every day to Dib felt like another failure in his small, strange town. He was now eighteen, and he STILL hadn't caught Zim, an alien no one believed him about, after five years of trying. He knew the average person would've given up by now…BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT THE ALIENS WANT YOU TO DO! You'd turn your head away for one second, then, BAM! It's the end of the world. Ohhh… and Dib WOULD NOT let that happen. However…he wasn't really sure what to do now that everything he had tried had…utterly failed.
Dib pulled at his hair as he briefed over his many past failures. So things seemed to never go as planned…that didn't mean there wasn't anything that could work. Dib tried to rack his brain for something new as he continued to pull at his hair…but he came up with nothing. Maybe I should check the web…Dib pondered to himself, before figuring it couldn't hurt anything to check other people's opinions.
Dib quickly jumped off his bed once his mind was made up, hurrying to his computer desk as soon as he feet hit the ground. Now, Dib thought to himself as he booted his computer up, What should I search? He pondered this for a couple minutes before finally coming up with a good search entry that was sure to get him good results. Dib went to the search engine ""(renamed from Google when people thought Noodle seemed more appealing), as soon as his computer was loaded and his internet was connected.
"Now…" Dib spoke to himself as he typed into the search, "Ways to get information you need." Dib almost gave up on the internet immediately when the first result was, "Go to ." Dib sighed, before deciding to go on anyway, and looking through some of the other suggestions there were.
"Call this number-" Dib began to read, before rolling his eyes and looking to the next suggestion.
"Torture is always the right way-!" Dib shook his head, he couldn't torture Zim if he could NEVER capture him.
"Being a peeping tom can be as easy as ONE, TWO-!" Dib stopped reading once again, yes, he tried spying before…but it was next to impossible when Zim's house was attacking him. Dib was beginning to regret checking on the internet, people obviously didn't have very good input. Dib was about to close out of the internet and go back to brainstorming, when a headline suddenly caught his attention.
"Want a certain girl to do whatever you want? Come on in to learn the rules of seduction…" Dib read over, before blushing, and immediately turning away. That's stupid, Dib thought as he went to turn off his computer,Zim's a guy and an alien…it couldn't possibly…work… Despite his mind's reasoning, Dib ended up clicking on the website anyway…and although it indeed was a stupid idea…he hadn't tried anything like it before and…he didn't know for sure if Zim wouldn't be affected.
Dib suddenly slapped his hands into his face. WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING? Dib wondered as he considered the effects of trying to seduce an alien into getting information. I'll become an outcast! Dib thought, well, actually… I'm already one…He could try to kill me…Though, he does anyway…I'll most likely make a FOOL out of myself… It's not like it'll matter to anyone…except maybe Gaz. Dib finally stopped arguing with himself as he came up with a decision. I…Guess I have nothing to lose… Dib told himself, before swallowing what little pride that he had left…that he was about to lose, and looking further into the site he'd probably regret checking out some time later.
END A/N: Short Prologue is short :3 though, I usually don't make them very long x3 The actual chapters will be a good deal longer…so get excited XD Ohh, I'm gonna have fun with this ;3 Also, I made a cover picture for this that you can find on my profile!
