Got bored and made another story... :) Be sure to leave some reviews if you want to see more chapters. I was debating on making it kind of a short story, or develop a really good plot line for it to become an actual, complex story with more chapters. Anyways, read on!

It was a typical morning in the month of December at the Membrane house, as Dib and Gaz got ready for another mind numbing day of High Skool.

"Come on, Gaz! We're gonna be late for Skool!" A now 17 year old Dib shouted to his younger sister.

"Who cares. It's not like we actually learn anything from that stupid place." The now 16 year old goth girl of doom complained as she put on her iconic skull necklace and grabbed her backpack.

She had a valid point though. Both she and Dib never learned too much from the demented place that called itself 'Skool'. They were both exceptionally smart, and managed to learn way more by themselves rather than from their droning, annoying teachers...who transferred from the Elementary Skool to the High Skool after no other teachers wanted to teach a class with insane Dib, scary Gaz or weirdo Zim. That's right, Mr Elliot and Ms. Bitters were lucky to get this promotion of doom.

"But we can't be late! Zim could be doing unimaginable evil as we speak! If we don't get there in time, who knows what will happen?!" Dib shouted as he ran out the door. "Just yesterday he blew up Burrito King! And all because I went for a burrito and was five minutes late from my normal time! I was too late to stop him!" He dramatically announced.

Gaz raised an eyebrow. "Why would he blow up Burrito King? Was that his new competition for world conquest or something?" She asked as she reluctantly followed her brother as they walked to Skool.

"Because, Gaz, he knows it's my favorite place to eat! He was out for revenge! ...That and I shoved him the other day and he fell in a puddle of dirty water." He explained. "That's just how he is! He's EVIL! Stupid space boy!"

Gaz chuckled at the fact the Zim deliberately blew up Dib's favorite restaurant to get revenge on him.

"Oh, come on, Gaz! It's not funny! I mean, how would you like it if he exploded Bloaty's pizza just to get revenge on you!?" A frustrated Dib asked.

"Even Zim's not that dumb." She casually said as she pulled out her Game Slave and began to play.

"I mean, everyday the alien menace is up to something! One day he could try to involve you too!" An exasperated Dib tried to make a point.

Gaz just scoffed. "Yeah right. I would just plunge him into a nightmare world from which there's no waking before he would even get a chance." She ominously threatened.

Dib shuddered at his scary sister's warning. After a few years, she somehow only managed to become even scarier than before. However, that still wouldn't stop Dib from talking about Zim...

The two continued their walk to Skool, which consisted mostly of Dib ranting and raving about Zim's next evil plans for world conquest.

"GREETINGS DIB-MONKEY AND SISTER TO DIB- MONKEY!" Zim suddenly shouted as loud as possible, appearing from behind a random bush.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ZIM!" Dib screamed in a panic as he almost fell backwards and then tried to stand in a defensive stance.

The alien smiled arrogantly at the two of them.

"Not that I actually care, but why were you hiding behind a bush?" Gaz questioned the alien who stood before her.

"Because, little Gaz, I'VE BEEN EXPECTING YOU!" Zim shouted as he pointed a finger in her face.

Dib quickly panicked. "I told you Gaz! It would only be a matter of time before he involves you in his evil plans too!" He reminded her.

"Eh? Evil plans? I just wanted to ask your sister a question." Zim calmly stated.

"OH NO! HE WANTS TO PROBE YOUR BRAIN FOR INFORMATION!" Dib screamed in a panic while kicking into protective big brother mode and shoving Zim away from his sister. "NOT ON MY WATCH, ALIEN SCUM!" He shouted. Gaz just smacked her head.

"What do you want? Make it quick. I'm already starting to lose interest." Gaz coldly asked.

"I must ask you a very important question...Can I borrow your math book?" Zim politely asked the angry girl.

"Why do you need it?" Gaz asked, only half interested.

"Because Gir threw mine in the explosion at Burrito King yesterday so he could keep roasting marshmallows." Zim answered honestly for once.

Gaz just blinked.

"If I do not have one soon, the Ms. Bitters beast will surely flip out! This will be the third time a 1,000 page book has disappeared in the hands of Zim! Humans will grow suspicious!" The alien hastily explained. "Besides, your idiot of a teacher will surely allow you to go without a book! You scare him so badly!" Zim said with a laugh, hoping he would flatter her into lending him the book.

Gaz smiled slightly at his comment. "Fine. Here you go." She calmly said as she handed the 1,000 page book to the slightly taller 17 year old Irken.

Zim quickly took the book from her hands and smiled at her. " Your assistance to the Almighty Zim is noted once again, Gaz- human! Keep up the good work! " He shouted as he ran off screaming "Victory!"

"Uh, Gaz? What was that?" Dib asked as he suspiciously eyed the alien who ran eagerly to Skool, and then his sister.

"What was what?" She asked.

"That! You just helped him!" Dib said in disbelief.

Gaz just shrugged. "I just let him borrow my stupid math book. I didn't know that was a crime."

"You just handed over all of Earth's math information! He's probably going to use those equations to destroy the planet!" Dib yelled as he jumped to conclusions.

"Really Dib? Even though he's too dumb to make a good world domination plan come together, he at least knows how to do math on his own." Gaz told her brother as she rolled her eyes.

"And what did he mean by 'once again' ? 'And keep up the good work?' Did you help him more than once?" Dib asked.

"Who cares?" Gaz said as her brother started to irritate her.

"GAZ! WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT ZIM BEING EVIL! NOT TO MENTION HOW MANY TIMES HE TRIED TO DESTROY THE WORLD! AND YOU'RE HELPING HIM?!" Dib shouted as he slapped his head.

" I hardly consider lending him a useless book as 'helping him.' She replied as she pulled out her Game slave 5 and began to play.

"And why was he honest with you? You think he would have lied about exploding Burrito King, but he didn't! Oh, he's up to something alright! And I'm going to find out what it is! I'LL STOP WHATEVER STUPID, EVIL PLAN YOUR WORKING ON ZIM!" Dib screamed to the sky. He then looked over at his sister, noticing something that seemed a bit different about her... He pointed a finger at her and was about to say something...

"Dib, it's only 7:00 in the morning, and if I have to listen to one more stupid thing that has to do with Zim, or if I even hear the word 'Zim' again, I'm going home and erasing all of your recorded episodes of Mysterious Mysteries. Understood?" She said in a low, threatening tone of voice.

A look of pure panic spread across poor Dib's face, and he decided it was best to stay quiet, as he couldn't quite figure out what it was... "Yes..." Was all he could say as he bowed his head. There was no way he was losing the Mysterious Mysteries Ghost Special over Zim. Not an advanced, curious paranormal expert like himself. He wanted all the knowledge he could get.

"Good." She said as she continued to play her game, not paying attention to anything else. She and Dib continued to walk.

Meanwhile, Zim hurried into the Skool, which was heavily decorated for Christmas. There were other students singing Christmas carols throughout the hallways...Not that he cared. It really annoyed him. He began pushing and shoving through crowds of other kids to quickly get to his locker.

"MOVE IT! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! HOLY TALLEST YOU'RE REALLY UGLY!... MAKE WAY! THE ALMIGHTY ZIM IS COMING THROUGH, YOU DISGUSTING HUMANS!"

"MOVE IT!" He again shouted as he pushed several more kids out of the way, and then another odd looking kid. He finally got to his locker to get out a notebook and some papers, and made his way to the Rage Wrinkle's class, so he did not have to stay behind after Skool and incur the horrible wrath of being late. That, and he had something rather important to do...

A few moments later, the Membrane siblings quietly walked to their lockers, which happened to be right next to each other.

"is it just me or did the Skool really go all out for Christmas decorations this year?" he asked as he looked around. He then noticed something else...something disturbing..."...Umm...Gaz?" Dib quietly said in a shaky tone of voice. His neck began to even twitch. He was in shock.

"What?" She snapped. She was too busy to notice the horrible thing that her brother was pointing at.

"I-is that a-a -" Dib tried to gather words, but he was so in shock he couldn't find any.

"Oh, for crying out loud Dib!" She complained. "Why don't you just say-" The goth girl couldn't even finish her sentence, as she finally looked up from her game and saw the horrible thing which was stuck to her locker. Even she was in shock...

It was pink. It was heart shaped. It had her name written in the center. And oddly enough, her skull necklace was attached to it with a piece of tape.

It was a Valentine. And it was scary... To Gaz anyways. She hated valentines. Nobody dared to ever give her one before, so why now? Her eye began to twitch wildly. She was rendered speechless for the first time in her life.

"Uh, Gaz? Don't you think you should open that? See who its from?" Dib fearfully suggested. He braced for one of Gaz's dark tantrums to erupt at any second.

Unfortunately, even Gaz had to agree with her brother on this one. She had to see this. Who would be crazy enough to give her a Valentine? In December? And steal her necklace while she was wearing it! She growled, took down her necklace, and unfolded the makeshift heart shaped paper...only to reveal a poem...

It read:

You are very smart and pretty

a very dark and beautiful soul

that burns with magenta fire

I hope one day you can see

how much I have grown to adore you

how much I want to hold you in my arms and tell you

how much you mean to me

that You and I would be perfect together

We could rule this disgusting world

and together we can crush humanity!

PS...I found your skull necklace. Don't ever change, Princess. You just wouldn't be the same without it.

With much love...your Prince of Evil!

By the time she finished reading the poem, she was shaking mad. She was completely enraged...she was...blushing?! She felt her face turn warm...She couldn't believe it...She knew he was nice to her, and only her, but she didn't realize he felt this way about her...

Dib nervously began to ask. "Um, Gaz, if you don't mind me asking, who was it from? I mean, seriously? Who sends a Valentine in December?! It's almost Christmas and-"

Gaz just growled and crumbled the heart, before handing it to Dib to read. He unfolded the Valentine and as he read it, his eyes widened in pure shock...which then turned to anger, mild vomiting, and finally insanity. It had no name listed, but he knew all too well where the strange, not so mysterious Christmas Valentine came from...

"ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMMMM!"

Dib screamed at the top of his lungs, foaming at the mouth slightly, followed by being punched in the shoulder by his sister for speaking the dreadful name.

But Dib continued on. He was so infuriated that the disgusting alien scum was now bringing his sister into this mess. Zim had really sunk low this time. "So THAT'S why he was being so nice to you! I knew it! This must be another stupid, evil scheme of his! And I told you he would involve you one day! I JUST KNEW IT! All the clues are right here! HE WAS WAITING BEHIND A BUSH FOR YOU TO COME BY! He was in a hurry this morning! He was nice to you! The Valentine near Christmas time, the poem about crushing humanity! And the part about him DATING you! THE HORROR! NOT GONNA HAPPEN, ZIM! YOU'RE NOBODY'S PRINCE! I'll STOP your plans for world conquest! I'll- Are you okay, Gaz?"

Gaz, unable to handle the mushiness of the Valentine combined with Dib's ranting and raving, punched the locker nearest her, where a huge kid was bullying a smaller, timid one for lunch money.

"HEY! DAT WAS MY LOCKER!" The big dim witted bully roared at the small goth girl.

Gaz just sneered, gave him one hard punch to the face, and knocked him to the ground. He was now shaking with fear. She needed to take her wrath out on someone for that cheesy poem today, and the big stupid lug in front of her was the perfect target. A wave of evil dark magenta energy flashed, and the bully screamed for dear life as tears began streaming down his face, as he was forced to incur Gaz Membrane's wrath. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Was all he could say as he was laying injured on the floor, curled up into a ball sucking his thumb like a baby.

"Thanks scary girl! You rock!" The smaller, timid kid cheered as he gave her a thumbs up for defeating one of the toughest morons at Skool. Some other kids started to lightly cheer and clap for her. Gaz just grunted, which made everyone fall silent immediately. She stomped away, followed by a concerned Dib. Right now she had a big problem to deal with: Zim...

How dare he thought that he could write her a stupid poem, with a stupid pink heart, and try to...ugh...be romantic (gag)...towards her...How she HATES stupid romance! And where does he get off calling her "Princess" ?! It was so girly and weak sounding...and way overused. How she hated that! The stupid poems and hearts, and stupid pet names and stupid mushiness, well it was all too much for her. It was weak. And this poem was a pathetic attempt coming from stupid Zim...at both romance and world domination! Not to mention, he STOLE her skull necklace when she wasn't looking! And then had the nerve to tape it to her locker! Oh, he is gonna PAY!

"Gaz! GAZ! WAIT UP!" Dib shouted as he tried to catch up with his sister, who was almost near Ms. Bitters' classroom.

She stopped for a moment so he could catch up with her. No, she wasn't ignoring him. She was too enraged to even hear Dib's loud yelling.

"What?" She asked in a dark tone of voice.

"Look, believe me I understand you're mad-"

"Mad doesn't even begin to describe it... He invoked my wrath with that stupid poem, and HE WILL PAY!" She grunted.

"Okay... you're enraged. I understand that Zim invoked your wrath, but you gotta let me deal with him first." Dib started to explain. He truly felt bad for his sister. She got her first ever Valentine, which had a really horrible poem inside, only to find out it was from Zim of all people! Barf!

"NO WAY! HE GAVE THAT HORRIBLE VALENTINE TO ME, NOT YOU! I NEED TO UNLEASH MY WRATH ON HIM!" She shouted. Other kids began to look at her, trying to listen to what she was talking about.

"But he's MY ENEMY! MY HORRIBLE, GREEN ALIEN NEMESIS!" Dib shouted.

"I'll handle this first. You can make him listen to your horrible rambling voice later. That'll be a good way to torture him..." She said with a smirk.

"Wait! Hear me out! I'm already late to class, Ms. Bitters is going to flip out on me anyways, so I'll confront him first. Just go to Mr. Elliot's class, try to have a normal few hours, and then we can BOTH get him at lunch time." Dib tried to reason.

Gaz just growled. "Whatever! He. Will. Pay!" She said as she stomped away to the classroom right next door.

Little did she know things were about to get a lot worse...

Author's note: By the way, when Zim got burned from the puddle, it wasn't actually from the water itself; it was from pollutants in the water. Just clearing that up :) Let me know what you guys think of this.
