Author's Note.
This is just a test run to see how this goes. To test the waters, so to speak. If this seems to unfold like an actual story, then ok, we'll roll from there. If not, then this will be lost in one of the deepest darkest corners of the internet where no one can find it. So, let's get started, shall we?
What if all of the old cartoons that you watched as a kid were real, and were in their own, little, TV world. That lasted far past when they were cancelled. Would you believe it? Would you believe that it was all true? As a little kid, yeah. You would. But as an adult? Not likely. Well, I can at least tell you of one of these worlds. It's the best place to be. Have you heard of a little cartoon called 'Invader Zim'?
Dib watched as a rocket landed in front of Zim's house. "Man, he's actually leaving. I thought he was joking." He said as he walked up the steps to the door. He was nervous of the lawn gnomes that normally scanned him as he walked up. He scowled at them, hoping that Zim was watching the monitors connected to their cameras. Dib reached up to knock the door, but it suddenly swung open. Zim was standing at the door way, holding Gir's hand. "Hey Dib..." Zim said in an sad sounding voice. "What are you planning Zim, I know you're up to something!" Dib said, as he pointed to Zim and the rocket. Gir started to cry loudly as he grabbed Zim's leg. "IT'S NOT FAIR! IT'S NOT! I WANT TO STAY HERE!" Gir screamed, as Zim rubbed his eyes. "Gir, I'm sorry, but remember. The mission isn't over for Irken Rule. I convinced Taz to let me send you to her, and allow you to stay there for a while. If the Tallest contact you, say that Earth was taken over, but to not send anyone to populate. Do you hear me?" Zim explained to Gir, while Dib watched. "Is it true?" Dib asked in a worried tone of voice. "Yeah. I just didn't want to fight for a while. Stay here. A mini-vacation, you know?" Zim said, as he walked Gir to the doorway into the rocket. "IT'S NOT *sniff* FAIR! I *sniff* I *sniff*" "Gir, It will only be for 3 months. That's all. After that, I bet you won't want to leave Taz, like you won't want to leave me." Zim said to him with tears in his eyes. "Now go to Taz, Gir. I owe her big time after this so, I may see you early." Zim said. Gir silently nodded and walked into the rocket. He turned around and waved with tears in his eyes. Zim did the same.
*BOOOOOOM*
The rocket blasted off and left Zim and Dib alone. Dib turned to Zim and asked "Mini-Vacation?" "Yeah. I want to try to be a human for a change. No alien stuff helping me. Just trying to live like a human. Who knows, I might even change my house so it doesn't act like an alien hideout. I want to go to middle school. I want to be normal, or as normal as I can be." Zim said, while tears rolled down his eyes. It seemed that he was still torn up about Gir leaving. "Well, If you want, I can let you stay at my place, if you want to get away from all of this alien stuff. But you can't be a jerk about it. So no 'DIIIIIB' this, or no 'I AM ZIIIIIIIIIM' that. You're a human. Not an alien who wants to take over the earth. And don't take my liver and replace it with a cooked one like you did last week. Do we have a deal?" Dib asked him, while thinking that that was a stupid idea. "Why should I trust you?" Zim asked him. "Because I know that under all of that evil stuff, you actually have emotions." Dib said to him.
"Deal."
