Wow, I dunno what to say, I've been reading these fanfics for a while now and I've always wanted to write my own, and now I am. This is my first ever(as I'm sure you can tell) and I'm not quite sure how this works. Any way this is my fanfic, or rather songfic or maybe even song/fanfic about Invader Zim loosely based on The Black Parade my My Chemical Romance and I hope you like it!

Oh yea, and in case any of you reading this and you are an idiot who hasn't figured this out yet, this is FANfiction not Iamthecreatorofthisfiction, I don't own Invader Zim, or My Chemical Romance, or anything. Duh. Well I do own this story line I guess, unless I read this somewhere and then thought I thought it up myself, probably not though. Enough babbling, on with the parade!

(A/N this is a prologue of sorts)

Gir made his way back to the home base from the CD Cesspool, a new CD in one hand (Or paw or stub or something) and a SUCK Monkey in the other. He slurped away happily as he entered the cul-de-sac with the strange glowing green and purple house at the end. He knew his master would be furious with him for spending the "monies" that they needed to appear as normal as possible, but he just couldn't resist. As soon as he heard Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance he HAD to have the CD. And the chocolate-bubble gum SUCK Monkey at the nearby convenience store was the icing on the cake.

Gir shifted the CD from his left hand to his right to open the door. He continued through the house, past the couch and tv, through the kitchen, and into the trash can elevator. He made his way through the labyrinth of a base and into a room he called his own.

Discarded SUCK Monkeys littered the floor along with worn down rubber piggies. Gir threw the one in his hand among the piles and continued to rip off the plastic wrapper of his new disk. He pulled off the cardboard box with My Chemical Romance written in big letters on it, underneath it, there was a skeleton in a black parade uniform marching to an unheard beat. Under that was the words The Black Parade. He opened the case and had a long sniff of the sweet new CD smell(A/N don't ask me how he did this). Gir took the new CD out and then!... he ate it.

Now don't worry folks he didn't actually eat it, he merely stuck it into his internal CD drive where he could either project the sounds out of his speakers or hear it in his head. He chose the latter and made his way up to the top floor. He was just sitting on the couch as the first song started.

(A/N end prologue)

Now come one come all to this tragic affair
Wipe off that make-up
What's in is despair
So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot
You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not

-

Zim awoke from the deep slumber he now enjoyed so oh, so much, the sleep he could now enjoy, ever since THAT happened. He threw off the covers and shuddered as his bare feet touched cold ground. He looked around him, bleary eyes, though still much better than any humans, taking in his surroundings. The black walls and blood red carpet, but really the room was void of any furnishings, just like Zim liked it, simple,

He had to dress for skool, hi skool actually, he was in his senior year. 'I don't know why I still go to that filthy place,' he thought miserably, slowly crossing the room to the closet. It's because of her, his inner voice told him. He paused, shook his head, and continued on.

He exited his room wearing a red Green Day shirt, baggy pants, and a pair of old high tops. His antennae were covered in a wig of shaggy black hair that nearly fell into his eyes which were now blue, other than their normal blood red. He had changed his appearance ever since THAT happened. His skin he kept green, no one had noticed so far, 'And besides, we can't have Dib forget that I'm Irken,' he thought to himself.

Ever since the day THAT incident the two boys had become a bit closer, almost to the point of a friendship. (A/N don't worry this isn't a ZADR.)

-

If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see
You can find out first hand what it's like to be me
So gather 'round, piggies, and kiss this goodbye
I'd encourage your smiles, I'll expect you won't cry

-

Zim entered the bathroom that he had installed since THAT incident, and began thinking back to why he had put it in. He looked up at the mirror, at his Irken face, and memories began flooding back to him.

-

AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH!

-

He cringed, looking down at the sink, his hands gripping the sides like he were in physical pain. It had an abnormal day as things were looking good for him for once. Then it all went down the drain, like the one he was staring at, at this very moment. Everything had ended for him. He had no future now because of a single day.

-

Another contusion, my funeral jag
Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag
You've got front row seats to the penitence ball
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all
I said...

-

"NO!" Zim shouted out loud. "I won't think about it," he muttered.

-

YEAH! YEAH! I SAID-YEAH! YEAH

-

Cracks started to form in the sink's frame as Zim's mind took him back to that one day.

-

C'mon C'mon C'mon I said
Save me!
Get me the hell out of here Save me!
Too young to die and my dear
You can't!
If you can hear me just walk away and
Save Me!

-

The day to change them all.

Oh snap, drama. Ok now review please! I need to know what you think and whether or not I should continue this story! If you don't review then you don't get to see what happened on THAT day and why Zim is acting so weird, 'cuz thats coming up in the next chapter, I think, maybe the one after that, who knows? =] Oh and feel free to flame me, as long as its not stupid flaming like, 'u suk'. If you're going to be mean, be mean in a constructive way like, 'I didn't like this part because....' but I need feedback people!

Gir: It's me, I was the turkey all along!!!

Zim: I was wondering what that turkey was doing there. Gir I need you to...

Gir: I was the turkey! Me!
