Then, out of the blue, two figures, a boy and girl, walked with their lunch trays over to Zim in his lonely table. "Hey, buddy," the male said, and winked at Zim. "How've you been?" this boy had black hair with red streaks in it, with red eyes, black pants, and a black and red jacket. Zim looked around. The cafeteria went silent. Then, Zim turned to face the boy and replied,"Fine, how are you doing on this fine day?" taking the window of opportunity not to be exposed. The cafeteria went back to normal again, with kids talking and eating.
"Listen carefully," the girl started. She had brown hair and blue eyes, jeans, and a long sleeved black shirt. "We are in a higher grade, so you probably don't know us well," "But, Dib says were something beyond human, just like he does to you all the time," the boy cut in. Zim looked at them and said,"He thinks you're aliens, too?" "Sorta. He thinks we are part human, part beast," said the brunette. "And he's right," the boy said and smirked evilly. "And we normally pay no attention to Dib, but we had a feeling he was right about you, so we decided to be your partners, if you'd like," the girl finished.
"I have no idea what you're talking about! I am a normal Earth child!" Zim yelled. The siblings looked at each other. "No, you're not, and neither are we. We've known, but watched and waited to see if you were a threat," Shane spoke, "And we don't think you or Dib are potential threats. Your evenly matched. You win, he wins. And unless you change your strategy, you'll continue fighting a losing battle," "YOU LIE!" Zim shouted, pointing in Shane's face. "Fine. Have it your way," Kay finished as her and Shane stood. "However, we've been living among normal humans our whole lives, and I think we would benefit you," she finished as her and her brother walked away.
The strange encounter with these two extraterrestrial siblings lingered in Zim's thoughts all afternoon. When the bell rang to go home, he walked outside to find the two again, walking in the direction of the park. "Hmph. I don't need help from other pitiful life forms, especially if they are half filthy, disgusting humans!" he said to himself, and continued on his way to his base.
"Gir!" he called. The small android with glowing red eyes jumped from the couch in front of Zim, saluted, and said,"Yes, my lord!" "How much information have you gathered today while watching the filthy human programs?" Gir's eye's turned from red to a greenish-blue color, and exclaimed,"I learned how to make tacos!" Zim smacked himself in the face, obviously annoyed, and entered his base.
The next day, after skool, Zim looked around for Kay and Shane. He was sure he had gotten out before them, so he could talk about their previous conversation. "Well, hello, Zim" he heard Shane say, and spun around to find the two lurking in the shadows. "I have come to except your offer, since we are all against the humans," Zim said dramatically. The siblings looked at each other and shrugged. "We already asked. You said no," Kay pointed out. "Silence! You shall help me gather information on this pathetic planet, or I shall lay eggs in your stomachs!" he threatened. He heard a growl, and soon his face was about an inch from Shane's. "Who do you think you are to tell us what to do?" he asked, baring not teeth, but fangs. "I am ZIM!" Zim hollared in Shane's face, and pushed him backward. "Shane, Zim, stop. You don't need to fight," Kay said, stepping in the middle of the two. Shane revealed his claws and swung, only to miss and knock off Zim's wig. At this point, both disguises were pretty much gone-Zim's antennas and Shane's fangs and claws were both clearly visible. Zim was preparing to strike back, but the saw several bright flashes.
The three turned their heads to find Dib in a bush, snapping photos of the fight. "Haha! Now, I can show everyone who you truly are!" Dib exclaimed as he jumped out of the bush, and began running as fast as his legs could carry him. "Well, good job to the both of you. Now he's got proof of us!" Kay scolded with her arms crossed. "Don't worry, I'll get him," Shane said. He allowed his half animal self-which is a wolf-to fully show itself, with ears, a tail, and fur. Kay transformed as well, with similar characteristics as Shane, only part fox instead of wolf. With their animal forms, they were able to run twice as fast, and catch up to Dib easily.
"I shall NOT leave my identity in the hands of those two!" Zim yelled, and a communicator was pulled out from his little backpack. "Gir! Come get me! This is urgent!" he said. A few seconds later, Zim saw Gir in his dog suit, using his rockets to propell him in the sky. Zim jumped on, and they too were gaining on Dib.
Meanwhile, Kay and Shane were already just feet away from Dib. "Hmph! Too easy!" Shane exclaimed, and ready to pounce. Dib turned to see this, so he immediatly stopped and ducked, which made Shane fly a few inches above him. His face probably would have met concrete, had he not caught himself and rolled at the last second. "Why, you little..." Shane started as Kay caught up to him. "Ha!" Dib gloated, and held up his camera in victory. Something he shouldn't have done, since Zim flew by and snatched the camera from Dib's grasp. "Hey!" he whined, and now all three were following Zim and Gir. "Mwahahahaha!" he laughed. They were in the woods now, passing by several large trees, when Gir saw a squirel in one of them. "Ohh, a squirel!" he yelped, and turned to fly in the direction of the small creature. "No Gir, NO!" Zim said, but hit a branch, and fell off Gir, forced to kiss the ground below him.
Dib and Shane caught up, each having one hand on the device containing evidence of supernatural beings. As the three boys were trying to pull the camera towards him, Kay walked up, and kicked the camera out from underneath all three grasps. Their eyes followed the direction of the camera, which smacked against a tree branch, causing it to shatter. "Problem solved," she stated. The three males looked at her in disbeilef. "Nooooo! It's NOT over! You hear me? You two and Zim WILL be exposed for the true monsters you are! Then the world will see that I'm not insane!" Dib shouted, and turned to walk home.
"Well, that was certainly something," Shane admitted. "And it wouldn't have happened if you two hadn't gotten into it," his sister pointed out. "Yes, that is true," Zim agreed, for once with someone other than himself. "Alright, Zim. We can call this a truce, and we'll help you with the humans," Shane extended his arm. Zim returned the gesture, firmly gripped Shane's hand and shook, symbolizing the beginning of a new partnership among fellow extraterrstrial beings.
