How to Totally Rock!

Announcement: First let me say this is my first fan fiction and would gladly except constructive criticism. Now this stemmed from an idea I've been tossing around about the Invader Zim characters starting a punk band. Also it's set about 5 years in the future and the characters are now older and taller. Here are the ages and heights of each character:

Zim: 17(in human years) 217(in Irken years) and 6' 3"

Dib: 17 and 6' 1"

Gaz: 16 and 5' 8"

Tak: 16(in human years) 216(in Irken years) and 5' 9"

GIR, Mini-Moose, and Mimi don't really have ages and their heights are basically the same. I will also put in lyrics to songs I'm writing for my future band and lyrics to songs from actual punk bands. Chapters will be named after punk songs. Page breaks will have a bunch of Os. Also this will have ZAGR and DATR in it. Enjoy or I'll unleash my army of ninja monkeys on you!

Disclaimer: I don't own Zim, Hot Topic, CBGB OMFUG, 924 Gilman Street or any of the bands mentioned here.

Chapter One: Punk Rawk Show

It was a beautiful summer day outside in the city. The birds were chirping, the flowers were blooming, the sun was shining, people were smiling, and the grass on every lawn was freshly cut. It looked like a friggin' Norman Rockwell painting. In a seemingly peaceful suburban neighborhood everything was quiet and still. As a little cricket jumped onto the middle of a sidewalk and chirped peacefully everything seemed serene…except that seconds later said cricket, was viciously smashed by a passing skateboard having it's entrails splattered all over.

The person on the skateboard was none other than a familiar large headed boy named Dib. Dib was in high school now and had recently given up his obsession with the paranormal in exchange for an obsession with punk rock he got from his younger sister Gaz who was still as anti-social and misanthropic as ever.

He was wearing his usual trench coat but instead of a smiley face t-shirt he was wearing a UK Subs t-shirt with baggy jeans and Converse sneakers. He was much taller now and in better shape thanks to his skateboarding. He was currently on his way to a friend's house and was speeding down the sidewalk like a bat outta hell. He finally reached his destination and got off his board.

Tucking it under his arm he walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a small green dog with googly eyes and its tongue hanging out. "Hi!" shrieked GIR in delight. "GIR! WHO IS AT THE DOOR!" came the familiar voice of everyone's favorite Irken, Zim. "It's Dib master!" replied the little robot. Zim then came out from some other room and appeared at the front door wearing an Operation Ivy t-shirt, torn jeans, and Vans sneakers.

Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking 'What the frick! Zim and Dib are mortal enemies how could they be friends? Well you see a couple years ago Zim was told by the Tallest that his mission was a sham and he was truly banished from Irk. Shortly afterwards Zim realized that Earth really wasn't that great a planet anyway and decided to just live a normal life.

Well at least as normal as a green skinned kid could live, he shortly after befriended Dib and Gaz. "Hey Dib what brings you around these parts?" questioned Zim. Dib reached into his backpack and pulled out a flyer and handed it to Zim. "I thought you might wanna see this" was Dibs reply. Zim grabbed the flyer and read it. It had a crudely group of people in a mosh pit on it along with this notice:

"Friday June 16 at The Pit: Social Distortion. Doors open at 7PM all ages welcome. Pick up tickets at the local ticket office." Zim reread the whole thing and then looked at Dib and asked "So? I don't have any tickets and it's tonight." "Well that's only part of the reason why I'm here Zim. The other reason is this." Dib then reached into his pocket and pulled out an envelope. He handed it to Zim who opened it to reveal 4 tickets to said concert. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"I won them in a contest on WTFU. Those are tickets for you, me, Gaz, and Tak. I also bought two more tickets so GIR and Mimi could come. Zim who had begun loving punk too thought the human band called Social Distortion produced some of the greatest music he had ever heard. Simply put they were, as the humans he once tried to conquer would say, "the shit." GIR who was currently watching The Scary Monkey Show heard something about a concert and ran over to Zim to ask if that's what they were talking about. When Zim said yes and that they were going to one and that Dib was the one who bought GIR his ticket, GIR freaked out and jumped on Dibs huge head knocking him over. He then began shrieking "Thank you Dibbie! I'm gonna do a little dance! DOO DEE DOO DEE DOO!"

As GIR ran around the base he began screaming like a demented monkey on a sugar rush. See GIR liked punk too due to its frenetic speed, quick song lengths, sometimes, goofy humor, and catchy melodies. Particularly his faves ran the gamut from The Ramones, The Descendents, The Vandals, The Mr. T Experience, Jawbreaker, The Bouncing Souls, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, and an assortment of other punk and ska-punk groups.

As he continued to run around, Dib leaned over to Zim and said "Jesus, he's still so freaking hyper." Zim just sort of chuckled and said "Yeah but I kinda like him like that." "I'm just hoping he won't get us kick out of the club." was Dibs reply. Zim then saw the clock out of the corner of his eye and realized what the time was and freaked out. "Oh shit! Is that the time!" he exclaimed and ran over to the nearby end table grabbing a small device that he entered a code into on the little keypad on the top.

He then ran out side and threw it into the middle of the street where a bright light flashed and where the device once was there was a bad ass convertible. Zim jumped into the driver seat and yelled to Dib "I have to pick up Gaz! Help GIR get into his disguise and be ready for us! I'll pick up some food on the way to pick you up!" He then drove off to the mall as fast as was legally possible. "I hope I don't hit traffic or anything. I don't wanna be late or Gaz will bite my head off like a piece of candy." Thought Zim as he sped down the street.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

At the mall on the second floor was a newly installed Hot Topic. A woman was standing at the counter yelling at the young girl behind it. The girl who was wearing a Misfits t-shirt, long black jean shorts, Fullmetal Alchemist sneakers, and a Naruto headband was currently reading the latest issue of Shonen Jump and didn't seem to be listening.

"My son came here with some friends the other day to buy some clothes and came home with obscene t-shirts that said things like 'If I wanted to listen to an asshole I'd fart' and 'To do list: your Mom and your sister' and 'Reasons Why Video Games Are Better Than Girls'. How can you sleep at night knowing that you're selling these products to youngsters?" Gaz simply looked up and said "You about done? You're idiotic babbling is making me wanna throw up."

The woman obviously appalled said "Young lady! That's no way to speak to your elders!" Gaz annoyed, replied, "Oh I'm sorry about that ma'am. What I meant to say was 'Shut your friggin' piehole.'" The woman was extremely angry now and began once again yelling. "Listen here missy you better cut this out or I'll report you to your manager!" "Go ahead see if I give a shit" threatened the purple haired teen.

It just so happened that her manager Tom heard the commotion while going through stock and came to see what the problem was. "Is everything okay ma'am?" "No it's not" replied the woman. "This girl has been very disrespectful". Tom who was only 26 just nodded his head and asked what the problem was. She then recounted the story to him and how Gaz was being uncharitable to her. Afterwards Tom turned to Gaz and asked "Gaz why were you being uncharitable to this woman?" "Cuz she's an idiot for letting her kid go into a store she's never been in before and knows nothing about and expects us to take responsibility for the fact her son got some shirts with things she didn't agree with on them." Tom nodded his head again and said, "I'm sorry ma'am but Gaz is right. You're a total freaking retard for letting your son go unsupervised into a store you don't know about. I suggest you pull your head out of your ass and pay attention to what your son is doing from now on."

The woman was about to say something but Gaz cut her off. "And before you say something else which will make me lose more hope in the future of humanity Tom and I would like to give you something." They then both flipped her off with one hand and used the other to give the "right back at ya" sign with the other. The woman then said angrily "How childish."

"Up yours bitch!" was Gaz's response. Tom shook his head and sighed, "People like that are so damn stupid it makes, me sick." He then saw the time and realized Gaz could go home. "Gaz your shift is over. You better leave so you can get to the concert on time." Gaz looked up at the time and stretched. "Okay thanks Tom." Was her reply as she walked out, she knew Zim would becoming to pick her up soon so she exited the mall and waited outside.

She looked at her watch and saw that Zim only had a couple minutes left to get here and pick her up. As she sat down waiting she heard a sound, which sounded like cars swerving out of the way and people screaming. Which it was because at that exact moment Zim used one of those trucks that carry cars to dealers which was conveniently empty as a ramp to launch off the highway and come crashing down into the parking lot.

He then hit the brakes and skidded to a stop in front of Gaz. "Well what do you know, you're on time" was her reply. Zim who was taking deep breaths to calm down said "Yes I am and why not? For I am the great ZIM!" "Yeah, yeah whatever just shut up and let's go" retorted Gaz as she climbed into the passengers seat. "And don't try any of that crazy shit you did back there or I'll rip your squeedily spooch out through your ass." She threatened for good measure.

Zim just drove out of there as fast as possible and headed towards Krazy Taco to pick up some dinner before the concert. "So I'm taking it Dib told you about the show tonight?" inquired Gaz. Zim who looked like he was hyped up on sugar replied "HELL YEAH! This show is going to be so freaking sweet!" Gaz sort of looked out at the street from the window.

"So you think GIR is really stable enough to go to something like this without seriously screwing things up?" Zim pondered this for a while before answering. "I think GIR wouldn't act any different from any of the other concert goers don't you think?" Gaz too thought about this and realized he was right. Punk shows tended to get very wild and out of control. She then thought back on her first show when she went to see a Rancid concert at the age of 12. It was the first show The Pit ever had and was a crazy night. In fact someone even got badly injured that night if she remembered correctly.

She smiled, ever since Zim and Dib stopped fighting things got better. She introduced Dib to the joys of good music, video games, anime, and many other things she enjoyed which allowed them to grow closer as siblings. And Zim becoming friends with them was nice. Zim and Dib hit it off really well, which was surprising considering their past. Time really did have a strange way of changing people. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but this was definitely the former and not the latter. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Zim pulled into the Krazy Taco drive-thru where he ordered all the food for everyone with GIR getting half of the huge order which consisted of: 20 tacos, 10 burritos, and a drink for everyone. After getting the massive order they went back to Zim's house to pick up Dib and GIR who was in his 'Little Brother' disguise and went into the city.

Luckily parking wasn't a problem thanks to Zim's car invention, which turned back into a simple cube when Zim pressed a button on it. The group then waited outside the club eating their food and waiting for Tak and Mimi who were supposed to meet them at the club at 5:30 so they wouldn't have to hold a place in line for them. However it was 5:52 and they were getting antsy.

"Where the hell is Tak?" complained Gaz. "She said she'd be here at 5:30 and Tak is never late." "That's not entirely true" countered Zim "she's only late if she has a good reason to be." "Well she better have a damn good reason this time." Dib tried to help Zim out by saying she might have gotten lost. This only annoyed Gaz more. "Well wouldn't that be peachy-freaking-keen! If Tak's lost then that means we'd have to miss the show!"

Dib realized his mistake and tried to calm Gaz down "Don't worry she'll probably be here soon." "How about now?" came a familiar Australian accented voice from behind Dib. Startled the boy jumped and spun around to come face to face with Tak. Tak was using her holo-disguise to make herself look human. She was also wearing an Army jacket with band and anime patches safety pinned on along with a t-shirt that said "Sarcasm is the body's natural defense against stupid.", plaid pants, checkered shoes, and a wrist band that said Dropkick Murphy's on it. Mimi also had a holo-disguise, which made her look like a young girl.

GIR saw them and squealed. "Hi Takkie! Hi Mimi! I got Tacos!" Tak giggled at the insane little robot who was wearing a little poncho and Krazy Taco taco hat which came free of purchase with their meal. Mimi on the other hand blushed (or displayed blushing on her holographic human face) as she had a crush on GIR (AN: bet you didn't see that coming huh?) and was giggling at his silly appearance. GIR noticed and immediately thought she wanted a taco.

Reaching into his bag he pulled out a taco and walked over to Mimi handing it to her. "Here have a taco Mimi. They is CRAZY GOOD!" Mimi blushed even harder, "Thanks GIR" she replied. She then took the Mexican food gift and began eating it. He was right it was crazy good. GIR began giggling uncontrollably and went back to eating his own tacos.

Gaz wanted to know why Tak was late and wanted to know now. "So Tak, why the hell were you late?" Tak sighed and decided an explanation was needed. "I was late because my dumb ass boss wouldn't let me leave early even though he said I could yesterday." Tak unlike Zim had mostly broken or obsolete Irken technology when she got back. Thus she had to get a job to get along with the world.

Unfortunately the only job she could get was a job at one of the worst human establishments ever: Wal-Mart or as she liked to call it Anal-Mart. "I keep telling you Tak you should get a job at Hot Topic with me. It's much better and at least most of the people who shop there aren't jerk offs." Offered Gaz to the distressed Irken. Tak really wanted to quit her job but wasn't sure if they'd hire her at Hot Topic as she wasn't much of a people person. Though neither was Gaz. "Okay Gaz, I'll quit next Monday." "Great I'll set you up for an interview with Tom. It'll be great working together."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As they waited for the club to open more people came to wait in line. Zim tired of the quiet decided to strike up a bet with Tak to make things interesting. "Hey Tak?" "Yeah Zim?" Zim then sort of put his hands in his pockets and replied, "Ya know I bet GIR will get the mosh pit going." The bet was on. "No way. Mimi will start it up and you know it." "Wanna bet?" "Hell yeah! I bet 20 bucks that Mimi will start the pit." "You're on." "Can I join the bet too?" asked Gaz suddenly surprising the two Irkens.

"Uh, sure Gaz I guess." Said Tak. "What do you think Zim?" Zim thought about it a bit before deciding it would be okay. "Just as long as she bets for the mighty Zim." Tak glared at him "No way, she'll bet on Mimi. Won't you Gaz?" Gaz didn't answer them at first. She just stood there before saying "Actually I'm placing a bet that I'll start the pit." Tak and Zim just sort of stared at her for a while like she was some sort of freaky science experiment gone horribly awry. "What?" asked the girl slightly annoyed. Tak cleared her throat before replying, "Gaz the bet was supposed to be…" "How dare you not bet on GIR you pitiful earth stink!" interrupted Zim. Gaz just smirked at both Irkens.

"Hey one of you'll still win if two of us lose. And if you both lose I'll be up 40 bucks" replied Gaz in a cocky tone. "What makes you so sure you even have a remote chance of winning?" questioned Zim with an air of cockiness around him as well. "Two reasons Zim. One, I always get, the pit going at every show I've been to. And two, I always win." Dib had to agree with his sister on this one. "She's right you know. She always wins and she always starts the pit." "Well if that's the case Dib" replied Zim "then why aren't you betting on her?"

The reason why was because Dib had a history of bets blowing up in his face. And the last thing he needed was to be out a 20 and have Gaz pissed off at him for ruining her perfect streak. "I just don't feel like it" was his lame ass answer. Zim decided it was his own loss and let it be. Shortly after deciding the rules the doors were opened to the public so the people could get in. The club wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either as it could hold a couple hundred people. It was roughly the size of legendary clubs like CBGB OMFUG in New York City and 924 Gilman Street in Berkley, California.

It was also gaining as much fame and notoriety as those places too as many bands had played there. Everyone from The Dropkick Murphy's, MxPx, Rancid, The

Vandals, Tsunami Bomb, From Autumn to Ashes, Comeback Kid, The Offspring, AFI, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Mindless Self Indulgence, Iggy Pop, and many other artists had played here. Flyers from shows going back to the opening were framed and hung in the building like awards for some big ass achievements that a person who was cut out to be a functioning member of society would receive.

It was run by a 30 something named Dexter who was sick of the same boring crap on the radio, and wanted to do something cool for the true punks of the city. He decided the best course of action would be to open an all ages club downtown. It was a success attracting a bunch of well, known punk bands from around the country and even some young brand new bands from the area.

Gaz thought the best course of action would be to let some other people go in first and get in after so they'd all be right in the middle of the pit. After everyone filed into the club the doors were closed and Dexter walked out onto the stage up to a microphone. "Punks of all ages…welcome to The Pit." He announced in a loud voice to which everyone cheered. "Now I know why you're here, it's to listen to kick ass music and thrash in the pit like there's no freakin' tomorrow. Am I right!?" he bellowed into the mic.

Once again his words were met with roaring applause from the roomful of punks. "Then without further adieu I present to you, all the way from Orange County, the one the only, SOCIAL DISTROTION!!!" Dexter then got off the stage as SD took their places on stages. Mike Ness walked up to the microphone and asked, "Who here wants to cut the bullshit formalities and just get to the music?" Everyone was going insane at this point as the band stood on stage. "Well then here's a song that will get things going real quick." At that point Tak, Zim, and Gaz all were thinking the same thing: 'Please let it be Mommy's Little Monster'" "It's a song called Mommy's Little Monster."

Zim took this as his opportunity to attack, "Now GIR! Start the pit so I may win some monies." "I LOVE THIS PART!" shrieked the little robot however as he leaped at the nearest person that's also when Mimi decided to start the pit and they both met head on. "NOOOOOO!" screamed Tak and Zim. Gaz on the other hand walked up to a kid picked him up with ease and tossed him at a big sweaty dude who got angry and punched the dude closest to him causing the mosh pit to break out as Social D started their song:

Mommy's little monster dropped out of school,
Mommy's little monster broke all the rules.
He loves to go out drinking with the boys,
He loves to go out and make some noise.
He doesn't wanna be a doctor or a lawyer get fat rich.
He's 20 years old he quit his job,
Unemployment pays his rent!
His brothers sisters have tasted sweet success,
His parents condemn him, say "his life's a mess!"
He's mommy's little monster, he's not afraid to admit it.
He's mommy's little monster, don't wake him in a fit!!!
Mommy's little monster shoots methadrine,
Mommy's little monster had sex at 15
She left home for the streets,
She couldn't deal with all that heat.
She had fun with the boys in the band,
In her eyes it will never end.
Her dad asked what happened to her face,
It could have happened in any place!!!
Chorus:
Her eyes are a deeper blue, she likes her hair that color too.
She can even wear a dress, that doesn't mean she'll ever confess.
She's mommy's little monster
She's mommy's little monster
She's mommy's little monster
DON'T TAKE HER LIFE AWAY!!!

Shortly after the song was over everyone cheered and during the brief calm Gaz went up to Zim and Tak who had lost fair and square. "Pony up guys" was all she said to them. They both grumbled and reached into their wallets and gave her a 20. "Nice doing business with ya." She said as the next song began. The show went on with out a hitch until halfway through the band stopped for a 20 minute intermission, "We'll be right back after this intermission." Mike announced as people began to relax and sort of, mellow out for a little while.

The gang decided to go to the convenience store across the street to get a quick drink. As they left the club Zim noticed Dib had a black eye and broken glasses. "Jesus Dib, what happened to you?" "I got punched in the face by a big sweaty dude when the pit started." Gaz just giggled a bit but Tak decided to help him out. "Here Dib use this" she said as she handed him what looked like an ordinary cleaning wipe. "A moist towelette?" he asked. "Actually it's got an instant healing solution on it, so that black eye will heal instantly when it's used on it."

Dib smiled and thanked her. Tak blushed a little and replied, "It's nothing." Dib used it and his black eye did in fact disappear immediately. They then went into the store to get their drinks and sat down outside talking about various things while taking swigs of their drinks and waiting for the intermission to end.

"I'd have to disagree Tak" said Gaz "while Marky Ramone was hot I'd still rather do Joey." "Why Joey!? He was sterile." "Exactly. That means he wouldn't have to wear a condom." "Ewww" said Tak, Zim, Dib, GIR, and Mimi in unison. "I'd also do Davey Havok from AFI in a second" continued Gaz "and Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only from The Misfits and Henry Rollins from Black Flag." "Could we please stop talking about what guys you would have sex with?" asked Dib with a combination of annoyance and repulsion in his tone.

"Oh c'mon Dib" said Tak, "I bet there are a couple girls from punk bands you'd wanna get in the sack." Dib blushed and mumbled something. "I'm sorry I couldn't here that Dib" teased Gaz. "I said I do." "Who are they?" "Joan Jett, and Agent M from Tsunami Bomb okay" he said a little embarrassed. The girls began laughing at him which made him blush even more. GIR and Mimi on the other hand were both sharing a chocolate bubblegum Suck Monkey which Tak thought made them look adorable and talked about Mimi's crush on GIR quietly. "She's really quite smitten with the insane little bot." She explained. Zim looked at the two and noticed that while GIR seemed to just be oblivious to what was going on while Mimi seemed to be blushing. "Funny GIR seems to not notice it. Or maybe he just doesn't know when love is staring you right in the face."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

As they were talking Mike Ness, Johnny Wickersham, Brent Harding, and Charlie Quintana from Social Distortion decided to go to the store for a beer. As they walked by everyone stopped talking as the guys from the band walked by. "Holy shit it's Social D." muttered Dib. "We should totally ask them for their autographs" suggested Zim. "How? We can't just walk up to the guys who created skate punk and ask for an autograph. That just won't work" stated Dib matter of factly. "I can" said Gaz "C'mon Zim, let's get those autographs." Zim and Gaz led the way in to the store where the members were getting their beers. Gaz walked up to Mike Ness and tapped his shoulder. The tall punk rocker turned around to see a young girl with purple hair standing behind him. "Hey there." He said in a kind voice "You from the show?" "Yeah I am. Look me and my friends would like an autograph from you guys 'sthat cool?"

Mike shrugged his shoulders "Why the hell not. Anything for a fan." The band then gave everybody autographs, nothing special. Except when GIR got his he spazzed out and threw his suck monkey in the air causing it to land on the floor and spill and a random employee stepped on it and slipped causing him to knock over a shelf which just happened to fall on Mike.

"OH SHIT! MY FUCKING ARM!" The rest of the band then pulled the shelf off him to see his arm was broken. "Oh my God! I'm sorry for my little brothers behavior. Please don't hate us!" begged Zim. "S'okay kid. I've had this sort of thing happen before." Confessed Mike. "Yeah but who's gonna play lead guitar and sing. I can only play rhythm" said Johnny. "We may have to cancel the rest of the show." Admitted Charlie. "Wait you can't just cancel the rest of the show there'll be a riot" Dib told them. "Sorry kid but I'm in no condition to play, the concert resumes in 5 minutes, and I doubt I could find someone who knows all our songs by heart and can play guitar." Just then Gaz and Dib were both hit with an idea. Looking at each other Gaz went up to Mike as Charlie dialed 911. "I can play and sing the songs." She said.

Mike looked at her and said "Honey, this is kinda sudden don't you think?" Gaz got slightly annoyed at this and told him "Okay two things. One, don't call me honey or so help me I'll rip you a new one. And two, I'm your only hope." Mike sighed. "Okay, okay. Johnny take her and get her set up." "Sure Mike, come on umm… what's your name?" "Gaz" "Okay Gaz let's get our butts over to the club."

Dib, Zim, and Tak sort of looked at each other. "Dib are you sure Gaz can do this? I mean I've never heard her play before" said Zim. Dib grinned and just said, "Well you'll get a kick outta this." Tak and Zim just shrugged and GIR looked at Mimi and asked, "What's going on Mimi?" "I think Gaz is going to play guitar and sing for the band." "Okie dokie then!" he said.

Back at the club Dexter had just announced a fill in for Mike to which everyone booed. "I hope Gaz doesn't get 'stage fright' as you humans call it" stated Tak. "Don't worry you'll be surprised" assured Dib. Just then the show began again and Gaz was shown at the mic. As the crowd booed she just sorta scowled before shouting "1,2,3,4" and playing Reach For The Sky.

When I was young I was invincible,
I find myself now thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
it's just the roll of the dice.

But the day may come when you've got something to lose,
and just when you think you're done paying dues
And you say to yourself, dear God what Have I done?
And hope its not too late 'cause tomorrow may never come.

Chorus:
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come
Reach For the Sky, 'cause tomorrow may never come

Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery
But baby right now, its just about you and me,
You can run you can hide, just like Bonnie and Clyde
Reach for the sky ain't never gonna die,
and I thank the Lord for the love I have found
and hold you tight cause tomorrow may never come.

Chorus

So if you please take this moment
Try if you can make it last
Don't think about no future and just forget about the past
and make it last.

Chorus

Everyone was blown away at Gaz's excellent guitar and singing abilities. The show ended with everyone going nuts and cheering. The rest of the gang went backstage to talk to Gaz. A bouncer stopped them at first until Gaz and Johnny came out and Johnny said it was okay. "How was it Gaz?" questioned Zim. "It. Was. AWESOME!" was her ecstatic response. "I felt so alive out there. It was great." "That gives me an idea" said Tak. "Let's start our own band." Everyone didn't even hesitate, "I'm in!" they all screamed in unison. "Then it's settled, we'll start a band." "Yes I can show off my mad bass and singning skills!" said Zim. "You play bass?" asked Dib. "Yes I, the amazing ZIM! Plays the human instrument called a bass guitar." "I call lead guitar and co-vocals" said Gaz. "I'll play rhythm guitar" said Dib, "Keyboards" said Tak, "I wanna play the drums and go boom, boom, boom" said GIR. "I can be producer and manager" suggested Mimi. "Alright then, I think we have a band. Come over to our house tomorrow" said Gaz. "This is gonna rock!" said Dib. "I gonna be a crazy drummer like Animal!" declared GIR. This was gonna be interesting.

AN: First chapter is freaking done! Did you like? I know the whole band thing has been done with other cartoons before but rarely with Zim and rarely like this! Oh and if you're confused here's the lineup:

Gaz: Vocals and Lead Guitar

Dib: Rhythm Guitar

Zim: Vocals and Bass

Tak: Keyboards

GIR: Drums

Mimi: Manager and Producer

More characters will appear and there will be appearances by Nny and Squee. Along with a few others I won't disclose just yet. I have more chapters coming and will try to update once a week. I have some other fanfics to write so look for those too. Now please review or my little brother will go insane.
