Summary: A fateful crash of an alien ship, the return of Iggins, and the Vampire Piggy Hunter movie! What does it mean and what does it have to do with GIR's latest obsession?

Prologue

When Zim stepped into his home after yet another day in skool, he thought here had been a mistake. Stacked on the floor, all the way to the ceiling, were at least a dozen decks worth of playing cards.

"GIR! What are you—"

"Shh," said GIR. "You'll wake up the monster!" He went on his way, stacking the cards in such a manner, it was a miracle they hadn't fallen. He seemed to be singing something under is breath, but whatever it was, Zim couldn't understand it.

"What monster? I don't see any monsters around here, GIR." The base was in disarray; he felt like kicking himself for leaving the idiot SIR unit alone. "Where did those cards come from, anyway?"

"Mopey gave them to me," replied GIR.

"Mopey?"

GIR pointed behind him, to a shadow in the corner. Out of the corner of his eye, Zim saw movement. "Who's there?"

"Please don't hurt me!" the shadow said. "My name is Mopey from the planet Blusplogasporch. My ship crash-landed here by mistake," he started to cry. "Why did I have to land on Irken territory?" He stepped out of the shadow, looking something like a blue human with squid-like fingers.

Zim stared. "Well, Mopey, I won't hurt you, but don't get in my way. I won't trust you with the base, so you'll have to come to skool with me." He wasn't happy, exactly, about another alien being anywhere near his base, or the planet he was suppose to take over. Then again, there was nothing dangerous about this one.

"Great!" said Mopey. "I'll work on my disguise right away, then!" he said and instantly… did absolutely nothing. He looked confused for a moment, and then said, "Oh, that's right! I can't make a disguise without the magic toaster! Do you have a hat or something I can wear?"

"Oh, all right. Just make it snappy."

The next day, Dib nearly screamed at the sight that was before him: not one, but two aliens! What was going on?
