Hey, readers! Bustin' out a request from the message board on a new fic, Invader Zim! Here to test the waters is my first chapter, a little teaser to see if more readers are interested. Very short, I know, but more to come!
Invasion of Privacy
"Gir!" Zim barked at his less-than-helpful metallic henchman. Gir snapped upright.
"Yessir!" He saluted hard against his own head with a clang.
"Do you know the common factor in all my failures thus far?" Zim spun around menacingly in his chair, fingertips pressed together. Gir tapped his chin in thought.
"You?" He pointed.
"No!" Zim growled. Gir thought some more.
"Tacos?"
"No-"
"Piggy!"
"No!" Zim jumped up, angered. "It's the Dib-human! Constantly foiling my plans to woo Earth's meager, minor population to my will…"
"I like tacos," Gir said, and then he began to sing and twirl.
"I must try a different approach to incapacitate this… more-formidable-than-planned foe of mine," he said with an emphasis on a strange pronunciation of the word 'foe.' He grumbled and continued talking quietly, mostly to himself.
"The tickle plant!" Gir twirled again and stuck a plant that looked like a fuzzy succulent in Zim's face. Zim screamed and leapt back.
"Where did you get that!" He demanded, hiding behind his large chair.
"I brought it from home." Gir hugged the pot in long, telescoping, noodle-like arms. "I thought it might look nice."
"You've had it this whole time?!" Zim scolded. "Burn it! I can't risk having something that dangerous in my home base!"
"No!" Gir squeaked, running away. Zim chased after him.
"Give it! We must be rid of it!"
"No! It's from home and I like it! Whoa!" Gir tripped on the stairs, and Zim ran into him and went flying over him. The pot smashed and Zim landed right on top of the plant. He sat up with a frustrated look, brushing dirt off his uniform angrily, and then froze. He realized he was on the plant, and he waited with eyes squeezed closed for it to attack. But it didn't. "You broke it!" Gir sobbed.
"Maybe it died because you couldn't take care of it," Zim grumbled as he got up and continued brushing himself off. He took a step away and felt something around his ankle. He slowly looked back at the plant and screamed as it shot out every fuzzy "leaf" and ensnared him.
"Yay! It's not dead!" Gir clapped.
"No! You stupid robot, get me down and out of this thing!"

Please r/r if interested, and shoot me some ideas because it's been a while since I watched the Invader Zim series. If I'm too OOC or you have anything you'd like to see in the story, drop me a line! I'll add in the rest of this chapter soon, and more after that!
