"Dad! Dad!" Dib screamed, running into his laboratory. "Zim is going back to his home planet to get his leaders! He says that we're weak enough and the Armada is coming to claim war! You have to do something!"
"Oh son." Professor Membrane said with a chuckle. "Why don't you go talk to Gaz and stop being so crazy." He picked Dib up and set him outside of the Lab. "Now I know the craziness will go away soon enough, so stop worrying." He said as he closed the door.
"Nooooo!" Dib screamed, pounding on the door. He had to do something! Maybe Gaz would believe him. He ran down the hall and into Gaz's room.
"GAZ! GAZ!" He screamed. "Zim is coming with his leaders for war!"
"Dib." She growled. "You know you're supposed to stay out of my room. Now, GET OUT!" She screamed and pushed him out of her room, slamming the door.
Dib knew how fast Irken ships could go, so he knew it was only a matter of time.
"I know! I'll call the FBI!" He said as he ran to the phone and quickly dialed the number he had remembered by heart.
"FBI? Yeah, It's Dib. It's an emergency!"
"Hold up a second there kid, did you say Dib?"
"Yeah, My name is Dib." Dib replied. "But that doesn't matter. You have to get down here, an alien war-"
"An alien war?" The man chuckled. "You really are crazy like they said. Call back when something not crazy happens. Or better yet, don't call back at all!" The man laughed and hung up.
"No!" Dib screamed. "Nonononono!" He ran outside and looked into the sky. No Irken ships to be seen. "Maybe Zim was bluffing..." Then, a loud rumbling came from the sky. "Oh God..." Dib said as he squinted and looked up. The clouds parted and hundreds of alien ships filled the sky, dropping bombs and shooting lasers. The door behind Dib flung open.
"What's going on?" Gaz screamed.
"Zim." Dib hissed.
Professor Membrane showed up behind the two kids. "Kids! Get in the house!" He grabbed them both tightly in his arms and ran to the basement. "It's some sort of alien invasion!" He said as he removed a painting in the basement and started punching in a number code on a keyboard behind it.
"Just like I told you!" Dib yelled. "See? I'm not crazy! I was right all along!"
A door then opened off the wall, showing a safe room. Professor Membrane set Dib and Gaz inside. He kneeled in front of Dib.
"I'm sorry son." He said. "I'm sorry I never believed you. But now I know it's real. And I must go help the war with REAL SCIENCE! You two stay here, and don't try to get out. This room is made to stay locked for ten years, or until I open it. Everything you need is in here. Goodbye." He said as he stood.
"But dad!" Dib yelled. "I need to come with you!"
"It's too dangerous." Professor Membrane replied.
"But I'm the one who knows everything about Irkens! You need me!"
"NO!" Professor Membrane yelled. "I already loss your mother, I'm not losing either of you. Stay HERE!" He slammed the door shut and left.
"NO!" Dib screamed as he pounded the door.
"Just stop Dib!" Gaz said from the corner. "It won't open, remember what dad said?" She sat on the floor and hugged her knees.
Dib sighed and leaned against the wall, sliding down till he was sitting.
"I miss mom." Gaz said.
"Me too..." Dib said.
Gaz sniffed. "What if dad doesn't come back?"
"Gaz, don't think like that! He'll be fine!"
"I know.. but.. what if.." She held herself and started to cry.
'Poor Gaz.' Dib thought. 'She always try's to be so calm and alone. But she is still my little sister.'
Dib got up and walked over to her. She didn't seem to notice since her head was on her knees. He sat down and put his arm around her. Gaz looked up at him, surprised. He could see the tears on her face.
"It's going to be okay." He said as he rocked her. She hugged him and started to cry more. "Shhhhh It's okay." He kept rocking her. "I love you Gaz."
