Disclaimer: Invader Zim does not belong to me. He belongs to Jhonen Vasques.

This ficy is kinda sad. I'm so negative.

Well, here goes nothing!

It Ends Tonight

Chapter one: When Times Change

The bell rang through the halls, marking the end of the school day. The students of Ms. Bitters class stampeded through the door. " ARGH! Stupid STINK BABYS! LET ZIM PAAASSS! " He hissed angrily, as the students stomped on him on their way out the door.

" Zim!" He heard the voice of His arch enemy sneer at Him. Zim stood up, apparently unamused at the Dib human behind Him. " I don't have time to chase you around Dib! I have better things to do" Then he walked off, leaving a confused Dib in the empty hallway.

Close to Zim's house. . . .

Zim ran as fast as His weak Irken anatomy could take him. Knocking down a little girl, the mail man, and a lady watering her lawn in the process. He was going so fast he didn't notice he was only a few feet from his door." whooOOOOOO! AAAAAAAHH! " CRASH! He smacked right into the front door with a loud sickening thud. The front door opened." Welcome home son! " His robot parents rang. Zim stood up and brushed himself off. Annoyed, he walked into the house muttering to himself.

Gir sat on the couch watching a monkey growl and sneer on the screen. Zim rolled his eyes at the little SIR unit. " ooh that . . .HORrible! MONKEY! " He kicked at the ground. Gir looked over at Zim. " hiiiiee! " He squealed. " GIR! I have to go down to the lab, DO NOT! Let anyone in the house! Do you understand!" Gir looked at him with a blank look.

" Ummm GIR? "

Gir just stared off into space, not moving a limb.

Zim was getting impatient.

" AAAAAHH wooOOAAAAAAAOO EHEHeHEeeeee" Gir screamed insanely. Then as quick as it had happened, it was over. Gir had gotten up and was now nearly all the way down the street. Zim smacked his forehead, pulling at his eye lids in frustration. " grrrrrrr! Why do I even BOTHER! "

" Computer!" He yelled at the wall. " whaAat!" It replied with a whine. " I need you to take me down to the main chamber and fast!" The floor started to shift under Zim's feet , then proceeded downward.

Somewhere in space.

Purple sat on the couch, eating a bag of potato chips. Red, meanwhile, stood on the far side of the large room, looking out the window into the vast amount of space; head in his hands.

He sighed." I don't know purple, I just don't know ". He leaned against the glass and closed his eyes. Tallest purple looked over at him.

" You don't know what? ". Exclaimed purple. Still munching on his chips, getting crumbs all over his robe. Red looked up at his Co-ruler. " I don't know if we should do this ". He said with a look of sadness.

" Why not? He was bound to figure it out on his own, no matter how stupid! He is" He returned to his chip-munching. Red looked out of the window once more, before speaking again. " I mean, what if he reacts to this badly, doncha think that's kinda harsh?"

Purple sat his chips down and hovered over to Red. " Listen, I have my qualms too, but hey!

at least he won't be calling us like crazy any more". Purple looked out the window too. Red rubbed his temples. " I don't know ". He said plainly.

Captain: Sirs, the escapees are getting AWAAAAY!

Then the captain turned and ran out the door, screaming his head off. Purple and Red looked at each other. " well, duty calls I guess ". Red said and hovered out of the door, purple fallowing.

In Zim's lab. . . .

" GIR! Don't touch that! ". Zim screeched, annoyed at the fact that Gir was touching the energy amplifier . . .again. " oOOH! GIIIIR!" He screamed in rage. The little robot ignored his master wishes and kept on pushing buttons screaming things like; " Whats THAT! Doooo!"

The small Irken lunged at the little SIR unit; Knocking into him head on.( That was probably the first time he had ever done something like that to Gir.) " give . . .m-ee . . .th-the . . AMPLIFIER!" He chocked, struggling with Gir to get it back. " ookeee-doookeee ". Gir said in a goofy manner, letting the device fall to the ground.

Zim gave him a weird look, then got up and brushed himself off. He bent down to pick up the devise. But before he laid a finger on it, large letters came up on the computer's screen.

They read; INCOMING TRANSNITION. Zim jumped; falling to the ground, nearly knocking Gir over with him.

He dashed to the computer. Tallest's Red and Purple appeared on the screen. Zim saluted. "umm, yeah hey Zim, do you mind if we could talk to you for a moment, we have something to tell you". He shook his head in agreement." of course! Sirs". Red cleared his throat, trying to buy some time.

" well, you see Zim". Red frowned in frustration, trying to clear the lump that was forming in his throat. " Zim? You know that 'secret' mission that we gave you?" Purple spoke up. Zim cocked an invisible eyebrow, not knowing what was going on. " what about it Sirs?" Zim said in an uneasy tone. Red frowned. Purple just looked at the ground without emotion.

Red spoke once more. " you see, your mission Zim, your entire life was, . . um ". His voice sounded stifled and horse, as if he was about to cry. Zim knew something was wrong but just, didn't know what. " its all . .". Purple chocked out. The air in the room seemed to suffocate Red. He felt nauseous, and felt as if the life was being squeezed out of him.

" It was all just a lie!". Red cried out in pain, trying not to scream. The dizziness of the room making his head hurt terribly. Purple nearly fainted. Zim's eyes got as big as dinner plates. What were the Tallests saying; were they out of their mind?. He thought. " i . .i-is this some sort of . .joke? " Zim said with a sound of misery.

Purple had gained consciousness and finally spoke up. " Zim, were really, really sorry, but you've been a pest to Irk for way to long and we wanted to put an end to all of this tension once and for all ". Purple looked to Red for some kind of help, but Red gave no reply and turned his face away from Zim's poor pitiful expression.

" I don't understand, I have been nothing of but loyal to Irk all of my life and I'm nothing but an annoyance to you?" Zim said in a high pitched voice, trying to take in everything that was happening. It's all coming to fast! I knew we shouldn't have done this in the first place! Thought Red. Thinking gave him a headache.

Red looked up at Zim. He seemed out of it completely. His eyes weren't a shiny maroon color any more. They seemed dull as if he wasn't all there. " We hope that in time you will understand Zim, Oh and you are banished from Irk forever. Goodbye Zim ". Then in a flash, the screen went black and Zim was all alone; sitting in the dark.

The only words that he could think of were; What did I do wrong?

A/N: Whew! That chap took me a while. So, was it good? Did I do okay on my first fic?I left ya'll a cliff hanger. But don't worry I'm working on ch.2 and it'll be a lot better than the first chapter. Any way, you know what to do people. R&R.
