WELCOME BACK
Skarrch{*bowing*Thank you all for tuning in tonight, we've got a great show for you!}
Purple {Yeah! It's gonna be AWESOME!}
{Mhmmm hmm. Well, tonight Dib's going to be going back to school! So without further ado, I present you with:}
{Welcome Back!}
(A/N: Since I don't want to preface every line with the name of the speaker, from now on Skarrch speaks in bold, the guest speaks in italics and the Producer speaks in bold italics)

"Where have you been, Dib? You've been absent for two weeks." hissed .
"I was at..." AVATAR paused, not being an Earthly type. "...a seminar on the paranormal." finished Dib.
Zim chimed in "And I was on a normal Earth vacation." he explained.
"To where? Huh?" interrogated a taller, black-haired child near the back of the classroom.
"Insolent pig-stink! I went to..." Zim looked at a nearby map "...Somalia." he answered. He'd never heard of this Somalia place, but it looked nice enough. Dry, with a hot climate just like Irk.
"Yeah right!" said the boy. He reclined, a smug look on his face. "And just what did you learn at this seminar, huh?" he asked Dib.
Dib blanched "We learned about the vicious creatures of the African jungle." he said nervously.
"And where'd you get such a fancy backpack? It looks just like that green kid's!" said the boy, even smugger.
"Um─Nowhere! What backpack? I see no backpack!" interjected AVATAR.
"I'm watching you." said the boy.
{I like him!}
{*dissmissive*Whatever. He's nothing special.}
{Why so cynical, Pur?}
{I told you not to call me that!}
"Boys, this is Louie. He's joining us from the High Skool. Louie, these are Zim and Dib, joining us from truancy." addressed

At lunch...
/
"Hey Gaz! You're Dib's sister, right? Have you ever seen Dib sit with Zim?" asked Louie.
"No, never." said Gaz, before returning to her game. She was at Bonus Level 36, Invasion Of The Piggy Snatchers. Dib was sitting directly next to Zim, although he was ignoring him. The were both looking at their food with disgust.
"Hey, Dib! From what I hear, Zim and you are mortal enemies! What happened to that?"
"What do you mean?" asked Dib, feigning naivety.
Louie wasn't buying it "You know perfectly well what I mean!" he countered.
Zim spoke up "Filthy human, you know not of what you speak! Make silence!"
"I will get to the bottom of this!" said Louie to no one in particular.
/
That night, at Dib's house...
/
"Hmmmm. Well, staking out Dib's bedroom is risky, but it's the only way to know for sure." mumbled Louie. He lifted his binoculars and peered through the window. He gasped.
/
Of course I have to turn off the hologram, I don't have that kind of battery! AVATAR argued. "I'm just saying, what if someone sees me! I'll be vivisected!" You know, not everyone is as obsessive as you are. Let's just get it over with. Dib's outline went fuzzy, and a shortish Irken, with jagged antennae and blue eyes, appeared in his place. C'mon, let's get to bed.
/
"Woah! I knew all about Zim, but this is an entirely new angle! I can't account for two aliens." gasped Louie. He grabbed his binoculars and notes, stuffed them in his duffel, and scurried off. He'd think about it more in the morning.
/
{Well, this is a new turn! How will Dib survive? Is Louie an alien?}
{No, no he's not!}
{Shut up! Find out in the next, exciting episode of-}
{Hang on a moment, you aren't finished yet!}
{Mr. Producer! What do you want?}
{You still have to do the bonus segment.}
{Fine. Now: Random Zim hate slogans, courtesy of SloganMaker!}
If I had the chance to become Zim, I would rather stay myself.
Zim is like the pickle in a cheese burger. He's always there but nobody likes him.
Every time I see Zim I want to wake up from the nightmare.
Zim is the walking, talking proof that you don't have to be sentient to survive.
Zim's stupidity exceeds any measurable value.
{Bwahahahaha!}
{Hey, I decide when to laugh! And... AHAHAHAHA!}
{HUEKUEKUEKUEKUE! Hilarious!}
{Whoa, what kinda laugh is that?}
{What, all Old Ones laugh that way. Huekuekue! CUT!}
