The Door bell ringing called me from what ever I was doing. My mind was so glazed over I hadn't really been paying attention. I sighed and got up, walking to the door. I was often home alone during the afternoon. Dad worked all day, mom worked part time. sister also worked, and she had college to worry about too. so, here. the lone artist stood, grumbling as I made my way to the door. I opened to- My jaw dropped. A green kid! A boy stood on my step, not much taller then me. He had black hair and deep blue eyes. and, you can't help but notice his ear-less, nose-less, green-skinned complication. His beady eyes squinted at me in the bright sunny day. He put on a very fake smile.

"Hellooooo~" He said. My face was screwed up in an odd way. glancing around for a sign of a weapon in case he tried to rape me or something.

"Hi." I said quickly. behind him I could see a strange green dog bouncing around in my front yard, but that's not what I was freaked out about. no. father, across the street, I saw my neighbor . standing on her front porch dazed. a large helmet looking thing covering her head. she swayed back and forth. I looked around more. everyone on my street was standing oddly out side in the pajamas or unsuitable dress on their porch. I swallowed. my nerves were telling me this was all connected to the green kid. This whole time I was looking around the kid was talking about something, what, I didn't pay attention to. but then I noticed he had gone quite. By now, the little green dog just sighed and looked up at me sadly.

"I'm sorry but what is-" I turned to look at the boy but to late! His eyes had turned a glossy red and his wig was at his feet, showing me his long antenna. He was sneering at me now, holding back laughter at this thing in his hands shoot out at me. I didn't get a good look before I started screaming as is covered my Vison. My hands shot up scratching and pulling, trying to get it off. Something made me freeze in place. I had no control over my body! The boy was still in front of me, laughing loud and evil like, chilling me to a bone. I had to get out! things were starting to blur, the boys laugh becoming fainter. ~Its getting into my mind!~ I realized, it was trying to take over! I squeezed my eyes shut (which made no difference for I could not see) I had to concentrate on every thing I was, am, and will be! I had to keep my mind, and block out the whispering voices. sweat dripped from my face as a thought of what I had for breakfast, who my friends are, my pets...it wasn't working! The small space my mind had left was getting smaller and smaller! I thought about my creative side. My characters, how they looked and acted. I Prayed and thought with all my might until. 'BASH!' The helmet shattered releasing its hot and sweaty grip from my head.

"Hum~!" The Green villain shut up once he noticed. I staggered.

"you...won't...take my mind...never..." the words stumbled out. the world was getting dark around the edges and I seemed to not have any balance. I spilled over onto the boy. who easily caught me with his black gloved hands as if I was a feather. "never...I'm to smart for you..." my words became mumbles as I gave in and let the darkness take me away. all straight and will power gone. the boy then let go of me and let me fall to the hard cement ground. where the world spun until I was no longer awake to care.

"huuuuum~..." The great invader Zim thought to himself. "this...Female...is different from the rest of the humans..." He said, mainly to himself. the way he said 'humans' made it known that to him, the word of a strange word that he didn't care for and couldn't wait until their was nothing to call a 'human' ever again. he put a hand to his chin and thought.

"GIR!" He yelled sharply. the green dog froze from his bouncing fun and turned and saluted stiffly.

"YES MASTER." A low, robotic voice came.

"I want you to help me take this..."human female" back to base. I wish to see...what sets her apart." The Irken instructed his minion. with a gloved hand he picked up a fist full of the girls brunette hair and lifted her head up so he could see her peaceful sleeping face. "And cancel salesmen of Doom. This tactic only works for selling worthless things." he said, glancing up in time to see a near by helmet shoot sparks and zap the person until he collapsed.

"oookay! " A friendly, high pitched voice came from the little dog again. it dropped it hood, showing its true metal robotic head with large bright blue eyes and a wide smile. it turned and waved its hands. the helmets all at once shattered and let their captive collapse to the ground.

"huuuuuummm..." Zim studied the human's face. so what made her tick?

As the two other worldly beings carried out their plans, they were unaware of a certain someone in the bushes. crouched low, gazing at the sene through his camera lens.

"oh no!" he breathed, his golden eyes widening behind the large glasses. "A kidnaping!" He cried as he thought of all the horrible things Zim will most likely do to the poor girl. He was frozen in fear until both the invader, robot dog, and the "different" human left did Dib un-freeze and stand up. twigs in his jet black hair, dirt covering his goth. like outfit. "I gotta do something!" he stated the obvious as he ran off to his home.
